Guest klinzter Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 On which partition do I need to put the image files? On the EXT2 partition or on the FAT32? And if they need to be placed on the EXT2 partition, how do you acces it from Windows? u need ext2 partition. u can do with partition magic or similar :D
Guest renegadEE Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 u need ext2 partition. u can do with partition magic or similar :D Yes, I created an ext2 partition with Partition Manager and that worked well but I can't access that partition in Windows (that's normal). So I wonder if I need to place the Android files on the FAT partition or on the ext2 partition?

Guest wouter88 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 How do i make a ext2 partition on my sd card with a mac?
Guest renegadEE Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Seems like Paragon Partition Magic doesn't Mount my ext2 partition properly. I have a Ubuntu Live CD but it's an old one that doesn't work with my current PC :D Is there a way to mount an ext2 partition in Windows (vista/7)?
Guest FeLLa_ Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) guys... download ubuntu live cd, use gparted for making ext2 partition, use file-roller for extracting rootfs, copy the files to your sd card and you have no more problems.... edit: all what you are doing under windows may corrupt your files/rootfs... windows dont know what symlinks are... and you have many of these on rootfs package...

Guest wouter88 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 My omnia is connected with USB to my mac but it seems he doesn't connect with it. I don't see the partition (SD card) in the finder.. How can i fix this?
Guest X-Ray A4T Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Yes, I created an ext2 partition with Partition Manager and that worked well but I can't access that partition in Windows (that's normal). So I wonder if I need to place the Android files on the FAT partition or on the ext2 partition? Ok, this is how you do it. get the 25MB file from the links off this page. copy the haret.exe, default.txt and image files to a folder on you phone, I used a folder on My Storage. I then set my SD card as the USB mass storage device. I removed the FAT partition and created the following structure: Primary Partition of 128MB formatted as ext2 An extended Partition for the rest of the space A FAT partition in the Extended Partition for the rest of the space. Extract the contents of andromnia_rootfs.tar.bz2 into the ext2 partition As I did this on my Ubuntu machine I had to make sure the files were all owned by root (should not be an issue if you run Live CD) I then disconnected my phone from my machine and ran the haret.exe and it booted fine (takes quite long to run). You may need to reboot the phone if it does not load the first time. The advantage of this layout is that you will still have access to the rest of your SD card via WM6 while playing with Android.

How can i fix this? Have you switched to USB mass storage mode or are you sill using ActiveSync mode?
Guest wouter88 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I am using USB mass storage.. Now i have used the Ubuntu Live CD and started Gparted and i am trying now to create an ext2 partition! edit: how can i make a partition with gparted? i have started the ubuntu live cd and i have the following screen: So he finds my sd card but i cant create a new partition.. http://www.grabup.com/uploads/c16c80791bb1...0a89.png?direct Edited June 17, 2009 by wouter88

Guest nollie Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Also remember you have to unmount your card before it will allow you to make a partition.
