I would like to partition my sdcard with CWM Recover 5.0.2.8 but i can't seem to find the option in the menus when i'm in recovery. Am i missing something or is it done another way in this version?

Hey Lens. Can you change the ext partition in Linux from ext2 to ext3 or ext4 without it formatting the partition? I'm installing a dual boot of xubuntu right now.

[Lens_flare]

any partition type change causes format..

finally compiled a recovery, thanks lens!

if you use ext4 as the sd-ext like me, you can use this recovery to back it up

Technolover have already compiled it and shared  page ago ))

[TechnoLover]

but it seems that it breaks ext-partition after restoring backup... as I cannot mount sd-ext partition after restore =/

[VJftw]

oh, mines literally just added this line to fstab:

/sd-ext		 ext4		/dev/block/mmcblk0p2	  /dev/block/mmcblk0

haven't tried restoring a backup yet but its worked for backing up

I had some problems during restore, it crashed somehow my ext-partition =/ maybe it was my sd-card as it's dead now and I'm waiting for the new one

fixed sd-ext recovery

if you get an error on backup run this command in shell when in recovery mode

e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or

e2fsck -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

  

first one lets you choose if you want to fix errors, second one fixes every error

Download: http://code.google.c...&q=#makechanges

it crashes your second partition, do NOT use it.

Hey I have tried this link and successfully restored to the ext partition, e2fsck reported no errors .  I was using ext4, don't know about the other ext versions.

@Tecnolover is this why you have marked the download above as depreciated?  Is there a chance it was just your card was about to die anyway?

Anyway I'm happy

Edit: By the way I'm using the 2GB card that came with the phone.

Thanks for this lens. Without this we would have no custom roms and this works perfectly. Again,  thanks

to be honest, Vache was the first. I only made that opensource and changed nothing to use with ROM manager.

[Mtman1]

Mmmmmm. Yeah maybe. But you at least ported a newer version and added technolovers ext2 support. Just wondering, can you ask the cwm Guy (kouche or something like that) to add us to rom manager?

Is it touch recovery?
Have you seen that:

softkeys are not working.

and how to navigate then? oO

[TechnoLover]

It's not a touch recovery, it uses the basic navigation modes:

Volume Up/Down
Camera Button
Power Button

The same as in AmonRa

error while making a backup image of /sd-ext
