Is a partitioned SD a giveaway that I've rooted?? I flashed, what seems to be, stock 2.2.1 Froyo, though my SD is still partitioned and there is some system folder on it I think. Is there another way to detect if my device has been rooted and flashed??
You could have partitioned the card through a card reader using a computer as well, so it doesn't point to being rooted. Although having an sd partition on stock rom when it's of no use is kind of suspicious.
there are many ways to knw that u've rooted beside sd card.. u dnt need to give ur sd card to the service center ppl..

Well, 2.2.1 has been flashed, so it looks the same as it did when I received it, I'm not root anymore so the superuser tab has been removed and I don't have any root apps on. Pretty much stock like day 1 except 2.2.1 instead of 2.2.0. What other means could there be??
u must be using custom recovery ??

Yes, and I partitioned 2gb SD to 1.5GB/500MB. I formatted the SD to ext4.

Then remove the recovery. Go to the flashable recoveries zip files thread in the development section by ciaox. I can't post links right now because I'm on the phone. I think ciaox has the link in his signature. Anyway, go to this thread and download 'original_recovery_thunderg.zip ' ( or something to that effect). Boot into recovery and flash this zip, and your recovery will be removed.

OMG. People, flashing recovery and/or rooting your device will not partition your SD card, at all. So, I really fail to see why he should flash stock recovery or whatever.
Eh! He did partition his sd card via custom recovery... wht part u didnt get?

He apparently does not know what he did at all. Anyway, flashing stock recovery or unrooting will certainly not remove any partitions from SD card by magic so those advices are just completely wrong, plus it is not really what was asked in the first place.

You do not detect a rooted phone by looking whether the SD card is partitioned or not.

Yes, partitions have nothing to do with rooting, but he has also asked:

Since he has custom recovery so I advised him to flash original recovery.

Does not go anywhere.
@OP: Can you kindly explain what is your problem? Because it is damn hard to understand what are you trying to do.
If you do not want the SD card partitions any more, then simply delete them (in PC or whatever). Frankly, it is not even clear whether you have more than one partition on your card from your fuzzy description.
Let me re-phrase my Q.. I do know what I was doing. I flashed Void, my Nandroid backups didn't work when I wanted to restore cuz I didn't like Void, I lost network cuz my phone was stuck in flight mode, I flashed a 2.2.1 stock .DZ from my PC. Since my phone was stuck in flight mode (useless), I took the phone to myservice provider and they ordered me a new one.
What are the chances of them detecting that I had rooted and flashed Void before??

Hmmm, wondering why did not you ask this normal question in the first place. Chances are none after you flashed a stock ROM via KDZ, wipes everything on the phone.
(Do not understand why did you return the phone without wiping/removing the SD card, honestly... kinda sensitive data there regardless whether it is rooted or not.)
Does flashing a rom vain kdz remove custom recovery also?

Remove your sd card and see if it lags. If it doesn't lag, then format your sd card.

I do not what it means.
But here's my suggestion. You do a factory reset, and while doing it make sure you check the box which says "Format SD?".
Before doing it take the back up of the pictures and music and things that you will need. In case you need to take back up of apps, use app monster and it will create apks of the apps in the sd card. Copy all these files to your pc and then factory reset along with the format option checked.
After its done, restore the back up (the music and images and photos and movies) and it should run smooth.
If not report back. I will try to help.
Thank You,
Rick.

If the problem comes again, know that your sd card has some problem. Replace it. Or may be hard format it. (search the net and you will know what I mean).
Anyways, after installing the apps again, problem is not supposed to come. Just try as I or the other guy asked. It will surely solve the issue.

If at all you have partitioned your sd card, what is the file system of your partition, are on stock kernel or custom kernel? I highly recommend you to flash a stock rom first and check if the problem is solved.
I didnt partition my sd card ..... I m facing that problem on ultimate hd rom and now i am on stock ics rom and kernel panic..... Still i am not facing any problem on this rom..... I think that by moving apps to sd card through link2sd and clearing dalvic and app cache is creating some problem due to which my rom stucks anywhere and i have to take out the battery to restart it...... How do i increase my memory instead of using link2sd and apps2sd how do i increase it.....?

I think you need to set up your SD card to use Links2 or Apps2 and as you haven't that's probably your problem.

Hi android geniuses ,
i have xperia neo GB 2.3.4 rooted with unlocked bootloader , overclocked with setCPU
every thing was perfect until my phone became laggy ad crappy ,, it takes ages to comply an order or to open an application so i decided to reset it and re-flash the rom (4.0.1.A.0.42) and i did it and it was ok until i did OTA update to .62 and it was downloaded successfully and on installing, the screen went off for long time and when i tried to open the phone nothing happened so i reflashed the same rom several times and after each time i push the power button , the flash light flashes green for second and go off and so on as long as i am pressing the power button
Now what should i do ?
Your comments are much appreciated ,,

if your sdcard is new you can create partition ext4 using cwm recovery .... or use minitool first partition fat32 and other partition ext4 almost all kernels support this ... than use link2sd ... choose in option new apps to sd :good:

I recommend you to use mini tool partition wizard.
First of all, make sure you have a class 4 or higher sd card. (usually, there's a small circle with a number in it)
If your sd is class 4 make an ext2 partition, if it's 8, 10 or higher, you will be able to make ext4 partitions work.
Don't forget to set these partitions as primary.
Hope it helps.
