Right this desire is starting to become a problem child to say the least -_-, installed gingerburst 1.0.0.3 pre rooted and S-OFF and suddenly it wont mount my sd card itll mount my 8gb one but not my 16gb one and i need the 16gb one. tried reformatting it in recovery and mounting it via tht but i dno if i did it wrong or something. need the sd card partitioned for data2sd so partition sizes and names and info wud be good, thx
in recorvery it also says under mounts and storage tht "mount /sdcard" so it doesnt mount it auto. i tried mounting it then rebooting but wont mount again. i found under advanced in recovery it has partition sd card i formated it n now ive partitioned it using this method biggest vales ext 4096mb so 4gb and w.e the highest one for the other one was. basicly i want this sd card to be partitioned for data2sd to work good desire has very low internal memory and gingerburst is the best sense rom i found
fixed: i re partitioned it in recovery under advanced after formatting it within recovery in mounts and storage then clicked mount within mounts of storage on the sd card then rebooted. need details for partitioning it now
on my sd card it has a linux swap file a fat32partition n an ext2 partition what partition has data2sd got to be? ext 4 3 2 1?
for sdcard u normally have vfat(fat32) filesystem, when using it as data also (data2sd) you should add any ext partition I would recommend ext4 however some roms might not support that (should be very old roms) so you can make it with ext3.
you can use Gparted or MiniTool Partition Wizard to repartition the sdcard. you can check what filesystem is your data partition using 'mount'.
note that you should have some vfat partition left if you want to use it as a normal sdcard.
when u select to mount as usb storage, from recovery or whatever, it mounts only the /sdcard partition. anyway to mount the sdext also?
Does the internal storage(32gb) of the phone act like the SD card?
will it get wiped if i install a custom rom??
It won't get wiped unless you choose to
Internal memory can be used as MTP not as MSC (Mass storage like a SD card) unless you do some modifications on the system files. TO do that, you need to root the telephone.
I see that the sdcard is mounted at "/sdcard/external_sd", and every time i add something on sdcard, it appared automaticaly on "/sdcard/external_sd/", and is fully my internal memory. I can't use anymore my sdcard because he's "linked" inside my internal storage? Is there any solution to fix that?
ok i messed up pretty bad..i formatted my phone's internal storage and also changed the filesystem (from fat32 to exfat) i done this via a pc..is there any way to fix this? i dont know how it happened, i meant to format the sd card but instead internal storage showed up now the phone is stuck on booting and won't start up
