i will keep it simple ..Custom recovery is unable to take a nandroid backup if i have a2sd on ext4 partition that same run nandroid-mobile.sh via adb...please fix it or tell me how to.. i m new to android but m good with C and Linux
i had same as your problem , every time when i try to include .android and ext files with my backup it gives me error message , but after i installed a new rom everything went fine!!
For me mounting of ext in recovery helped as well.

And doing this, did you managed to restore the backup successfully ??
Well this thing happens with BOTH megatron and void roms...when i boot into custom recovery /cache is the only one mounted and i tried unmounting it before trying a nand+ext+.android_secure backup...doesn't work my sd card is like 3 gb free and ext4 a2sd has only 130Mb of apps in it..
Guys I had made a simple nandroid backup after rootingand installing custom recovr and before installing void. Now if I restore the nandroid backup, will I still have the custom recovery or not?

Boot in recovery mode.
Connect phone to pc.
Mount ext partition via adb.(after that in Custom recovery mount menu you will found ext partition mounted)
Do nandroid

//Edit: First try to create backup ONLY of system, without any other option. If this will be work, you probably done same mistake as I did.
Same as me. I didn't do wipe of EXT after creating of ext-part and I had same symptoms. Backup all your data with Titanium Backup, backup data on SDcard, delete ext, create ext2 again, convert ext2 on one, that you want, do wipe of it. Than it should be working (I had).

i tried via adb but it keeps saying the same thing:
mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext failed: invalid argument
i dont know if i am doing it right..

ext2 is faster, because it haven't journal. But it on some I/O output error is not possible to recover it by itself. Ext3 have journal - is slower, but in case of problem will (can) repair itself. ext4 is better ext3.

At the time I made the recovery kernel sources were not out so I couldnt add ext3 & ext4 support to recovery. I'll try to update it as time allows.
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
be shure /se-ext exists

i know that.. but in ext4 i couldnt take a nandroid +ext backup because the ext4 partition could not be mounted. in ext2 and ext3 i managed to do nandroid backup +ext and mount the ext partition only through adb..
I've been using darktremor and a2sd GUI, but after I flash the phone GUI a2sd get an error.
A2SD exiting the GUI:
A. your device is not rooted
2. Script A2SD Could not be found
3. EXT no partition found
What should I do?
[Solved] must to mount data, system and ext when you flash a2sd, or if you get a2sd error after flashing custom room take a try to flash new a2sd script... thanks to svennen and yagyagaire for explain me.

You did it wrong.
Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.
Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the a2sd.
I'm on lupohirp's cm9 beta4. i created a secondary partition for data2sd but the phone just doesn't mount it, i tried link2sd, darktremor data2sd , but none recognize the partition?
Is this the problem with everyone or just me?
Any help?
I have tried all the formats i.e fat32/ext2/ext3 but to no avail
How did you partitioned it? Try it like this (using AmonRa recovery) - this celly is quite different, but idea is same...

Hello,
I have a bootloop on my SGS 2 after flashing PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLPQ-OZS-3.99-signed.zip in recovery.
I had installed the MIUIV5 ROM : SGS2-3.8.23-FR-signed.zip on a Siyah kernel but we are supposed to have a new kernel for JB that is why I tried this PhilZ's kernel
the error messages are : E: failed to mount exfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard
and after tweaking some more, I have a failure to mount sdcard (I had formatted many thing in the hope to clean things up but I am lost now.
Would any one have an idea to help me recover my phone ?
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
