I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as you but there is a video on youtube about thus set up. I cant remember the name of the video but search (how to unbrick) whatever your phone is; you should find a vidoe on it or search how to unbrick a Samsung captivate. You are sure to find it that way...

Think he is just trying to say that there are ways to unbrick your phone. And that 'you tube' may have videos on how to do it.

My device Bricked

My samsung vibrant was bricked because of that piece of crap partition sd card option in the rom manager, I had to Odin my phone to the Eugene froyo then install a CWR form voodoo's website and then flash a ROM and then restore my backup to get it running. It wasted an entire day, but i got it running in the end. There was alot of misinformation and a ****ing MBR checksum error that really made me pull my hair...but at the end of the day i got it working. and i am never NEVER using that rom manager again

I was trying to partition the external SD card and it partitioned the Internal one instead. Now my phone is basically reset, and all my apps are gone.

Thank god for Titanium backup, but now my internal storage is 4gb smaller and there's nothing I can do to get it back.

After partitioning it´s logic to loose data. But partitioning is a reversible process. I mean, from the recovery console you should be able to repartition again your interna memory to it´s original state. But, as I said, from the console and typing commands by yourself.

Hi guys,

I used clockwork to partition my SD card, it hasnt effected my phone just the card itself its no longer working! iv tried it in a camera, laptop, card reader, and nothing! anyone got any suggestions, iv also tried adb shell etc etc and it wont find the card at all! really do not need any information off this card. simply for it to work again would be great.

any ideas please comment!

There has been multiple bricked devices already, all after partitioning SD in CWM. The device suddenly turns off while the partitioning is in progress, and never turns on again. We do not know what causes this issue yet, but I am sure that ClockworkMod team will look into it.


Update:

Update 2:

Update 3:

New ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6 and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 are out! There has been multiple confirmations of the problem being fixed, but also ONE brick. So take the fix with a grain of salt.

i have CWM 4.0.0.5 installed on my galaxy Fit and successfully partitioned my SD card....and moved apps to Ext partition...so don't worry guys...

see that you have the right version of CWM installed on your phone...

the procedure i followed is ---
1. Reboot your device into CWM
2. Go to Advance>>Partition SD Card option and select the size of Ext partition (it depends on you...options are 128MB,256MB,512MB,1024 MB) i have selected 512MB for partitioning my 2GB card..
3. after that select swap partition size as 0 Mb.
it will take 1 min or 2...don't panic...

4. [Optional] Format your sd-ext from mounts and storage>>fromat /sd-ext option in CWM recovery. (it will be better to do this step ) i have done it.
5.after that reboot your device...and move your apps by using A2SDGUI app successfully


press thanks if i helped you

    Ok............

    This thread has been stickied by me in order to inform everybody about this situation.
    Do report if you have gone through this problem only...no more thanks or OT chatter, please.
    I'm in contact with the Mod team to investigate even further if this does affect any other devices as well.
    Please be patient and do not pollute this thread ;)

    Cheers,

    @jkoljo...thanks for your help on this very important matter.

    I will edit the topic to [FIXED] when someone confirms SD partitioning to be working. I believe that it is quite hard to find a person who is willing to test that..

    edit: ok, confirmed!
