Does the software support ext4? If not it can't read it anyway.

Remember google is your friend.. this isnt really an SGS2 related question TBH.

Question posted multiple times before a search of XDA may find the solution .
jje
I formated it with first software that came up after the google search,
but the galaxy s 2 says that the file system is not supported...
is there anything else i need to do to make it work?
Plesae help me i couldnt find anything!
I really need help here guys, I bought the sdcard
for putting hd films on it, and splitting them is not an option
because I use subtitles from a file and they are not together
with the mkv file...
It went to like page 5
What i think you need is link2sd from the market and dual partition the sdcard.

Which ROM are you in? Maybe you're ROM can't mount SD Card as ext2. You could also try exFAT.
I'm using Checkrom Revolution v4...
Using another program to format it will work?

You can create multiple partitions on your external SD card formatted with ext2/3/4 or NTFS (together with Siyah kernel and ntfs-3g) or FAT32. Use your PC and a partition manager or fdisk/mkfs on your rooted phone.
But you have to mount the partitions manually or you need special support from the kernel (via ueventd). If you want to replace the external FAT32 partition completely with another filesystem for use with the ROM as media partition you need a compatible mount manager (vold daemon). The vold version 2 in stock ROMs only supports FAT32. I guess there is no difference with Checkrom Revolution. As far as I know only CM 7 has support for a (read only) NTFS partition and extX.
Changing a kernel would make it work on CheckRom Revolution?
if so, is there any recomended kernel?
I am wondering the same thing. I am using the stock Samsung kernel...

[Q] How to delete / convert ext4 partition back to fat32

My friend did a mistake and created ext4 part. for 4gigs that he doesn't really need using CWM.
How to make everything back as he wants to use all his 16gb card as usb mass storage on windows os?
you have to delete both partitions and make one in Mini Partition Tools

OK. I'll advise him this soft. Deleting/creating partitions is supposed to be performed using card reader or he can see ext-partition just connected his atrix via usb?
I am just surprised that there is no android app for such purposes ((
Someone should write it if it's practically possible)
Problem solved with Mini Partition Tool.
As I sad it would be nice to have any app to do it just on our devices.
if someone found anything pls post it here.
Thanx

Internal SDCard Trouble . Help please!!!

well Hello to all
the thing is my Galaxy S2 does not detect the internal mass memory (16gb), I cant get acces with the phone or PC
its boot ok, I can make calls, texts etc... but, for example if I try to take a picture with the camera it says "insert an SD Card before using the camera"..
Download mode & recovery are ok.
I allready format everything I could :S
Odin does not recognize the phone :S
any Help??
excuse my English :silly:
Thanx!!
What FW are you running?
i don't think this is an internal memory problem.. under the camera's settings, did you set the storage to memory card? maybe you accidentally set it to memory card
Having a similar problem, but after rooting my internal storage seems to have disappeared?? any ideas/help greatly appreciated!

Maybe you need to mount in CWM under mounts and storage. Sorry if I'm mistaken!

Surely it's under "emmc" in the root folder. Get solid explorer and you'll see....

Have tried that too, pretty much tried everything. Having one last shot with a different idea this evening, but if that doesn't work am out of ideas.
Thanx to all for the help! I have made some progress... now when I conects the phone to the pc recognizes it as a disk storage, can not be formatted...
I have X-Treme CM10 1.0 it is bassed in CyanogenMod 10 . Android 4.1.1
I think I have to Mount the USB Storage.... but dont know how. ( I believe thats where the problem is)
In Recovery mode > mount USB Storage it says "E. unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)"
I´ve tried too Recovery mode > mount SDCard = "Error mounting /SDCard"
Odin stills not recognize the divice! so I cant change the rom or something.
What if if try to use Odin with RE PARTITION chek "ON"?? , I know is risky..
thanks for the help, and again, excuse my english!

I'm facing the same issue. Apparently, its not the issue with ROM or rooting. I'll try to flash new kernel through CWM(as i can't connect via ODIN ). Will update here if find any solution
Why don't you download some good ROM via phone's browser and then install it via recovery? You should try. Second method is that you insert Micro sd with some ROM (try one of the Samsung 4.0.3 based ROMs) and Siyah kernel on it and then flash it.
flash stock with pit
same problem with cm 10.1
Go into recovery and format emmc (internal storage).

Few things, what format is the sd-card? Windows can only recognise FAT32, if its EXT Windows cannot detect it, only Linux can. Also if your SD is partitioned I think you need to have the FAT32 at the start followed by sd-ext and then swap if you have them otherwize windows will fail to read the first partition and therefore not find the rest. Also make sure all your drivers and stuff are up to date. Good luck and please thank as I'm still on 0 thanks as of writing this :/

Mounts & Storage>Mount USB
If that doesn't work try other kernel, like Siyah.

That's all it supposed to show in that menu because at that point your disks should have been mounted.
Did you even have your cable plugged in??
If it didnt work its likely you haven't installed the Samsung USB drivers. Just install latest version of Samsung Kies and it will install needed drivers.

i meant mounting it in recovery so that i can flash roms saved in memory card.
i even tried formatting with gui-fat format, still nothing.
If you can't use external sdcard, just use the internal one.
