Do you have xRecovery or CWM on your phone? you can format it with that.
Otherwise, look for GParted and use that.

You've been given two other suggestions, either Gparted, or miniitool partition wizard... they will both do what you want.
ok thnks but i tryied formating my sd card from my computer but nothing HAPPEN
D WHY ??
Formatting only empties the existing partition, and windows can only detect the FAT partition on your sd-card. You need a partition tool to either remove the other partition(s) and resize the fat partition to full size, or just delete all partitions and make a new one formatted in FAT.
thanks man sorry but could you help me with mini partition tool ?? i am a noob i am so sorry.I download it and what nextt ??
attach your phone to your computer
start Minitool partition wizard
Your SD card should be listed (probably as PHONECARD, check the size and the name with what windows shows you)
Click on the partition you want to remove and click Delete (leave the FAT partition alone)
Click on the FAT partition and click Move/Resize (use maximum available space)
Click Format
Click Apply
Done (I guess)
the problem is that it only shows my hard drive and my phone nathing else na partition but i know there is buacuse the sd is 4 gb and only 2.74 are free wtf??? is going on men ??? i dont know
fianly men thanx for all it had been fixed thnx for all thnx all of you

[HELP] Partiton SD in CWM Recovery V6

Hello!
As I can partition the microsd with CWM Recovery, if I get in paragraph advance, to partition the sd.
I want to increase the memory for the app using the microsd.
I have the V6 version of CWM Recovery v1.25 with KernelPanic
Thank you!
For Swap Use 0mb nd For SD-EXT Use 512mb (I Guess This Is More Than Enough For A Normal User)
After That Install S2E or Link2SD App From Play Store!
Move Ur Apps To SD-EXT Using One Of This App!
COPY ALL OF UR SD CARD DATA BEFORE MAKING A PARTITION! OR YUH WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA ON UR SD CARD!

Thanks, but do not let me partition the CWM Recovery V6. There goes that option and earlier, if there was in the ADVANCE menu -> Partition SD.
Now those options do not work out. Since then I can make the partitions?

Hello
I have no sd-ext partition because I could not make it from the CWM Recovery version 6. Since I do not get the option to partition the sd.
What I know is because at the CWM Recovery, it leaves the option to partition your sd and other Recovery as version 5, if it comes.

I downloaded the program and I partitioned the sd with ext4 and fat32
But I think the program did not recognize me Link2sd While ext4 partition because I see that now in the applications menu, the phone recognizes the ext4 as internal memory.
Since in the applications menu, I keep saying that the phone only has 350MB capacity.
What did u want then?u said u want to increase the partition for using apps.there should b 2 partition now.one is ptimary fat/fat32( below 4gb fat,over 4gb fat32) for external memory & other is primary ext partition for internal storage

Are you sure that in you SD card, the 1st partition is FAT32 and is set to primary & 2nd partition is EXT4 and also set to primary?
In applications menu, if the internal memory is recognized as EXT4, you may have formatted the 1st partition of your SD card as EXT4.
Try this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
In the tutorial, the 2nd partition is formatted as EXT2, try EXT4.

Still looking for some insight and/or answers on this one...please help if u can!! Thanks!!

I have finally partitioned my SD card (16GB) successfully using MiniTool Partition Wizard tool. I created two FAT 32 partions (G=11.75GB DATA and *.=2.87 APPS). I had problems when creating an EXT2 partition...Link2SD wouldn't recognize it or mount the card.
Was able to successfully mount the card after creating 2 FAT32 partitions so I went with that for now. Several questions though...
1) I was unable to actually move to SDcard using "native App2SD method" with an error telling me that App2SD not supported by my device because it has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. Instead had to link the app in order to move its files to the card. What does this mean and why can't I physically move? Also, what is actually happening when I create links?
2) Apps appeared to be on the external card afterward when I went to System/storage and reviewed space usage. I could not, however tell whether they were on the DATA or the APPS partition from File Manager OR after taking the card out and looking at it from my PC. There were a couple of l directories created (LGBackup and LOST.DIR) but all appeared to be empty. WHY?
3) After dismounting and taking the card out to explore on PC and then putting card back in the phone it was remounted automatically however all apps are now taking up space on my internal drive and external storage is completely. Also, all my home screen widget configs are empty with all listed under "APPS" utility. Can anyone explain what's going on and how to correct?
THANKS!!

Dan,
I don't think Windows would recognize a Linux partition...which is what EXT is. That's why u can't move data to that partition at this time. MiniTool doesn't even SEE your EXT partition?? If that's the case how do u know it's an EXT partition in the first place? Perhaps u could post an image of the MiniTool screen? If it CAN see the partition I would delete it and recreate it with at least a portion being FAT32.

jakman: Because when I Partitioned my 32GB SD Card I was reading a XDA thread that said to Partition it using Ext4 as being the best Partition to use. When I look at Minitool it shows the Partitions that says Disk 8 read only ( Capacity 5.00GB for 1st partition and 24.72FGB for 2nd partition, used GB's then under File System Ext4 for both partitions, Type Primary both partitions, Status None. ). When I Hi-Light partition-1 it comes up on the left side with Actions and Wizards. Under Wizards the Choices are Copy Partition Wizard, Copy Disk Wizard, Partition Recovery Wizard. No other Choices the task bar at the top is grayed out. When I Hi-Light one of the other drives it adds a whole bunch of choices like Format Partition - Show Partition Properties and other actions that I can take Etc. I tried Partition Recovery Wizard it just tells me what files that can be recoverd. the Delete Icon is Missing. So there is no way i can delete the partitions and choose FAT 16/32 File System. When I first Partitioned the card Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, Fat 16, & Fat 32 were the File Systems offered. So do you Know of another Partition App that might enable me to Delete the partition and set the File System to Fat 32 thats FREE or doesn't Cost to Much as I'm on a fixed Income. Ive search the Forums but no body seems to have had this problem in the past or they found a solution else where and didn't post there Solution. Thanks I hope maybe you or some on else might know of a solution and help me as I don't want to have to buy another 32GB SD Card. Dan Mericle Sr danvidman
can you use minitool partition wizard to recovery your 32gb card? You can use the function Recovery Partition to scan card. have you set the partition to primary after change its files system? maybe this is main reason why it cant be recognized.

[Q] Upgrade to CM11 and can't access extSdCard

i9300
I've upgraded to CM11 (full wipe and format) and I am unable to access my extSdCard from the phone. I have no problems access the SD Card from an adaptor in the PC.
Es Explorer can read, but cannot write.
in CM11 storage menu, I click on erase SD card, but it still don't have full permission to it. However I am able to create folder in root browser.
I've tried chkdsk and sd card has no errors.

I had similar problem after I rooted and installed TWRP and when I used Link2SD app it kept complaining that it could not mount the 2nd partition of the SD card I tried formating a few times using
Minitool on my PC and a card reader to attach the micro SD card.
I ended up creating partitions then running option wipe in Minitool using 1's then fomating 1st partition to FAT32 primary and 2nd partition to ext4 primary (I had already tried formating to ext2 & ext3 with no fix) I did not enter a lable name for either of the partitions, both partitions set to primary.
Note also that I ran Minitool surface scan on both partitions and reported no errors, thought I would do this before I installed SD back in to my phone.
On completion of the above I installed the SD card in to my phone ran Link2SD and it recognised the second partition and mounted with no errors and when I look at storage in Link2SD both partitions
are seen and I am now able to link apps to second partition with no errors.
Hope the above helps in some way, I am learning all the time thanks to XDA members.

As an idea: Check your "platform.xml" if write permissions are given. See here.
I think the problem lies at recovery. I suggest flashing an older official cwm recovery from the official website. Since i did that ive had no mounting issues at all.
When i first rooted my s3 i flashed twrp and had issues with preload, same with a later cwm.

Link2sd mount lost after rebooting

hello,
currently I am reinstalling my now around one year old honor 5x.
Since I bought it, it was on b130 and could not update because of a custom TWRP recovery and root access.
So now I sat down, installed a stock b140, updated to b330 (android 6) and then installed CyanogenMod (Nightly). Many problems occurred on the way but until now I found all my questions answered in old threads.
Now the system runs smoothly and I can start configuring it. This includes Link2sd in order to be able to force move large apps to my sd card and linking them to the system. But this time I have quite a lot problems with this.
I started by doing the exact same thing like last time:
shut down the phone, take SD Card out of the phone and plug into computer
create around 80% primary partition fat32 and 19% primary partition ext4 (also tested ext2) (the 1% is unused space)
Then plug the sd card back in and start the phone
ES Datei Explorer now shows three "spaces": the internal space, the large fat32 sd partition and the small ext4 sd partition (all three can be written and read on)
Now start Link2SD. It recognices the second partition and askes what filesystem there is. I choose "ext4" and press OK
Here is my main problem: The app gives me an error:
Code:
[B]Error in mount script[/B]
Could not create mount script.
mount: '/dev/block/vold/public:179_66'->'/data/sdext2': Invalid argument
So the mount script could not be created and in the threads on xda there are some possible "solutions":
trying different filesystems: ext2, ext3, ext4 -> I tried all of them
clearing dalvik-cache -> I also tried that
formatting the sd card inside the phone with a app called "AParted" -> no help at all
Make Link2sd to a system app -> I did this by moving the folder from Link2sd from /app/data/ to /app/system/ (I hope this is enouph to be a system app, but Link2sd is starting normal after a reboot and is also not listed anymore under "user apps", instead now I can find it unter "system apps" ... so I think this worked fine)
...
The interesting part now is, that I can go in my system settings of android -> Spaceusage (don't know how it is exactly called in english) -> and then unmount only the ext4 partition of the sd card (the fat32 is still mounted).
After I do that, Link2SD can create the mount script !!!
The dialog after creating the mount script says, that I have to reboot the system in order to finish the process. But when I do so, after the reboot the "normal" mount of the system is there again and Link2sd is asking for the filesystem again. So no "special" mount for linking possible.
So now my question:
How can I fix this issue? Can I
force android to stop mounting the ext4 on booting and let Link2sd's script do the mounting?
do I have to set special permissions to the created mounting script?
Is there a other way to make Link2sd work properly? Do I missed something? (last time it worked this way, but maybe something changed due the time?)
is Link2sd maybe incompatible with android 6.0?
Thanks for any help and any suggestion.
greetings

OH MY GOD .. That long to read ,
Install Cm Nightly Last Version with Recovery .
Format Ur SD Card throw ur laptop \PC
When u boot to New CM go Settings > Storage > Format SD Card after that u will be asked to use it as internal or external , use it as internal so it will be added to ur internal 10GB without using app2sd any more =) ..
*Recommendation : use Class 10 SD card only otherwise ur phone will become slow ! .
GD luck ! =)
thanks very much. At first, this did not work. But after reinstalling CM I could use your method.
But two questions:
The App ES File Explorer just shows one internal storage. Correct so far, bu I have 10GB intern and 60GB extern SD, so there should be 70GB internal storage shown. But ES FIle Explorer just shows 60GB internal storage. Is this a bug? Do I have to worrie?
Under the system settings -> storage I can see the internal 10GB and the external 60GB seperately. Does the system take care of the "migrate files" it self in order to lower the usage of the real internal storage? Or do I have to go the the settings time to time in order to click the "migrate files" manually?
greetings and thanks for any help so far

i wouldnt recomend doing a partition, as cm always did it for me, it recognizes only the ext4 partition and says cant mount as link2sd, so if you want link to sd, then try not patitioning the card, worked fine on mine once..

ok, thanks a lot. The system is working fine now, but I now wanted to create a backup from the fully furnished phone and TWRP is not able to do so. On the internal memory TWRP says "not enouph space" and on the external (/external_sd/) it saysy out of memory. So how can I now create a backup?
Before the new external sd extension for the internal memory i was able to create backups, but with the new setting it seems impossible.

ok, in theory there must be two partitions on the sd card:
most of the memory as extention for the internal android storage
a little free space as fat32 for backups and as "external sd card"
But I am not able to achieve this. I tried this:
first idea: formatting on computer, then put it in phone and select "extend for internal storage" for the first partition. but then the phone formats the whole sd card and the second fat32 partition disappears
second idea: backup the extended partition, then formatting and creating the two partitions and restore the backup to the first partition. but the "android extended partition" can not be read by my programs. So how can I achieve this? Or is there an other way?

Your life will be easier if you use MiniTool Partition Wizard. Fully wipe your card, then repartition with EXT4 through that.

I already used this program. It is a very useful tool, but it didn't work.
I did it like the following:
put sd out of phone into computer
start MiniTool and wipe
delete all partitions
create two new partitions: first a primary fat32 at the beginning of the sd card (10GB) and on the rest at the end create a second primary ext4 partition (50GB)
wait until finish, unplug from pc and back into phone
reboot phone
in the android menu under "storage" klick on the 50GB ext4 partition
over the menu klick on "use as internal storage extention", but then he warns that the fully sd card will be formatted. when I klick no, he returns to the previews menu. If I klick yes, he creates a 60GB unreadable "android_extended" partition and adds this to the internal storage. So my little fat32 partition will get lost
What am I doing wrong?

My apologies for necroing this. I picked the two first entries in google. Just in case somebody else finds the same problem
The OP was doing FINE with his/her partitions. Link2sd and titanium backup can have issues placing the mount scripts in the correct place
I solved the problem. Try this post:
