Have i got an EXT partition?

is there an easy way to find out if i have an ext partition on my sd card
im having trouble getting 160 mb free after using wildpuzzle 0.6 and im thinking its because my ext partition is wrong / not there

i just read through the thread and got confused at most of it lol
yeh it was about 15.3 (i just realised i still have 0.5 0.6 and 0.8 zip files still on my pc)
yeh i installed 0.6 then partioned then 0.6 again
i need a way of going all the way back to the begining and starting again (complety wiping the phone back to default and sd card back to default)

To completely wipe ur SD card go to my Rom page and go to second thread n look for create your own ext3 n swap 2 follow the step in the tutorial
But delete all the partitions on the SD then right click and create. partition and make sure ur hole SD card is fat32 then start again with melvin tutorial buddie
Also if his steps Dnt work go to his tutorial n go to page 11 n look for marc's way of doin the progress
Ps Dnt create a ext3 or swap 2 with paratition manager as it don't work but deleting all the partition on ur SD card will work I did it my self
If u need any more help just ask

So u had a fresh SD card then u installed wp6 on it then went to Rom manager used the create partition then u loaded up the phone then turned it of taken the battery out used a card reader to put wp6 on to the SD card then u went into recovery and wipe data and wipe cache data and then reboot the recovery and then installed wp6
If that's wat u did then it should have worked fine Cus that's wat I do
If u still can't get it to work speak to melvin he's always ready to help as I can't help any more as that's as much as I can help sorry

Best and easiest way to do ext partitions is to use gparted live cd on a usb stick. Simple

Back up your data and format the sdcards, both internal and external. Copy files back to the sdcard. I faced it earlier and it got resolved after formatting.

plz help,i cant connect device to computer!!when i insert cable,the mount menu doent pop up nor does the computer detect it !!!plz help ASAP!!!

If you have swapped your sdcard and that is causing problem. Then replace the original vold.fstab and take out the microsd and check connecting with PC. But if out its drivers issue, then you know what you should do.

Dude i had the same prob yesterday.i thought i was so fu**ed.here is what i did.temove ur ext sd.check with a card reader if its corrupted or totaly wasted.if corrupted then format.if wasted,tough luck.after formatting, put the original vold stab inside it.dont put it inside.try to format the inbuilt sd from the phone.if nothing happens just wait for some tym.dont bother mounting.wont work.then turn off the phone.put the ext sd inside.turn on.do a factory reset.if u r lucky,it will show the cards.then just to b safe unswipe by putting the default vold.it shud b fine.in my case it happened after i was messing with chainfire 3d.i think its due to low quality sd card.by the way my 8gb ext. Sd is totally worthless now.no regrets tho.it was a low quality one.gave problems in my digi cam too.what ext sd do u use.best of luck dude.i spend almost 3hrs yesterday tryin to fix it.hope this post was of help to u.

Dude its impossible to recover ur corrupt or bricked sd card!!

Try to recover first the data inside your sdcard by using card reader and a third-party data revovery utility. Then format also by using a third-party formatting tool(e.g. HP formatting tool)
Im not sure but its working aroung 50-50.

[Q] Major Sd card issue

Hey all. I got a major issue where i cannot move,delete,copy or edit any of the files and folders from my Sd card and everytime i try for example to delete something i get the message "..it cannot be deleted". I also tried to export something from dropbox to sd card and i also get an error message saying " Storage full or unavailable" . Lastly i also can't seem to move files from my pc to the sd card . I started having this problem today that i flashed rastakat rom 4.4. Running its latest version,with PA gapps. From my perception its like i don't have the rights to edit anything other than download and install from playstore that works normaly. Please help. Thanks in advance.

By the way i also re flashed like 5 times and problem hasnt been solved

How could I do that anyway?
I didn't find any other way so I wiped everything, flashed stock and re-flashed, rastakat after. Now all seem normal.

[Q] TWRP Question

Hey guys So i managed to flash a rom , Even with some sort of error ? But still worked, Consider im new idk what it was.. But heres a question, Once i flashed the rom, Can i delete TWRP? Cause it takes a bit of place, And if i delete it, Will my backup dissapear aswell ? Thanks for answer.

You mean the twrp folder on your sd storage? You can delete it but it's the place where twrp stores your backups so copy them somewhere save first!
