Hi, i have installed a custom rom with CWM, the installation script converted system, data and cache partition to EXT4, now i want to return to stock with CWM backup but when i try the procedure e receive an error after restoring system, i think it's because EXT4 partition aren't supported by stock, how can i convert EXT4 to EXT3?
Thanks.

Open the zip of the backup you're trying to restore with a file manager. Each partition should be in there and have either an EXT3 or EXT4 filename. The recovery will automatically format the partitions based on how the backup was saved. So if /System is saved with an EXT3 extension, the recovery will format it for you. If you are getting an error then it might be a bad backup.
Also, try using fastboot to wipe everything instead of CWM. I though romracer told me fastboot always formats to EXT3, but I couldn't find the specific post/message. Won't hurt to try
I take error while restoring \system with cwm, this is the log details:
solibPhotoEditor.solibmtpstack.solibGLESv1_CM.solibmot_btpan_jni.solibnvmm_service.soliba2dp.solibWifiAPHardware.solibvpnclient_jni.sotar: write error: No space left on device
solibreverbwrapper.solibbundlewrapper.solibvisualizer.soError while restoring /system!
result was NULL, message is: assert failed: restore_rom("/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/Firmware_Tim_2.3.4", "boot", "system", "data", "cache", "sd-ext")
I want to wipe the ext4 partition (not delete, just wipe so there's nothing in it).
The reason being that i use link2sd on my phone, and for some reason there are some extra files on that partition from other apps that won't delete. So i want to do it manually. How would i go about this?
Hi!
I tried to install Android on Samsung Wave GT-S8500. I flashed FOTA and bootloader and got into recovery but since it can't mount /system (same goes for /data and /cache) I can't install any ROM or make any backup.
Is there any way to get those partitions to mount as they should?
wrong kernel. Search Kernel NAND and copy it on SD. You have Kernel SD and u need ro format SD for install any rom
So, i;ve repartitioned my phone, and tried to install cm11...all good...., ..but with cm12.1 it seems it have a problem.
I tried, reflash/full wipe/format system , data ( preload i cant format ..it gives me this error )
formatting /preload....
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting /preload
When im installing cm12..at the end i get this error : warning: no file_contexts detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 ..but at the end it says that the script was succesfully installed
I thinks ..i get bootloop because of the repartition...how do i fix this ? ..can someone help me ?
The error indicates, that /preload partition is not having a proper ext4 filesystem. This is strange, as imo CM doesn't need this partition.
Try to flash a different recovery like TWRP (Link in CM12.1 Thread) and format /preload in there.
Afterwards I would wipe /system and /data and then flash CM12.1.
disclaimer: formatting /data or sdcard0 will result in loosing all your data, so backup your data before doing so.

Did you format /system /data and sdcard0 after re partitioning? Don't forget to flash a ROM or Kernel after formatting /system, because formatting deletes your recovery.

well..i did ...sdcard0 trough windows i think... is it because of that?..i thinks its fat32
Sorry, pls read my edited post. That may be more helpful.
But I would not suggest formatting sdcard0 through windows. I would suggest formatting it inside the recovery with vfat (fat32).
But that shouldn't be the cause of this problem.
well, i did format it with twrp ..doesnt show me any error..but i still get a bootloop
Okay, so the first problem is solved.
I then would suggest wiping /system /data /cache out of TWRP and then flash CM12.1 again.
diclaimer: wiping /data will delete your App data
welll..i did...still doesnt work..bootloop/.
Booting up CM12.1 for the first time may take some minutes. Are you sure you got a bootloop`?
i waited 10 minutes...
Did you try again, wiping all above mentioned and reflashing CM12.1?

ill try it right now

Use this guide for repartition by @gsstudios , and format your partitions correctly (ext4 cache, data, sys & vfat/fat32 sdcard0 your internal storage) . worked for me 1 gb system, 3 gb data!

Did you try formatting again like ultravy suggested?
yes
i have used the modified preload pit files I9100_6GB data - 45mb preload.pit
still bootloop
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
Patginking system image unconditionally...
Script succeeded: result was [0.20000]
How big is your /system partition with that PIT?
Else I don't know what's wrong here.
8gb system
Are you sure? Because that would lead to like 2-3GB left on sdcard0, when /system is 8 and /data 6. Stck /system is 512MB and suggested when repitting is 1GB or 1.5GB.
its working now..please close this topic
Thank you !
Somebody pliz help me, my phone XT1022 rootted suddenly gone blank, in recovery said no OS installed, unable to mount ( data system etc), and internal storage is 0mb, and i have tried to format system via fastboot it say unable to format system file system with type "raw"
please help guys..
Install TWRP and wipe data, If you haven't already.
im already install twrp, so in twrp it say no os, can't mount data etc
try formatting it to ext4
Try flashing the stock rom of the xt1022 but with out the revcovery an flash the custom rom that you want
format ext4 for what? my internal has 0mb and if I format, it said cannot format filesystem type raw
