Default [RESOLVED] How to resize my sdcard Partition.
Hi Guys,

I hv a 256 MB partition created on my Sdcard but want to increase it to 512 MB...Tried looking for an option in recovery mode but could'nt find anything.
Could you guys pls help me in repartitioning my sdcard.

- Have tried searching xda on the captioned topic but could'nt find any convincing post.

Hey Einstein,

I downloaded Gparted but found that i need to create a bootable image & than use it

Will it work if I drop my current ext & create a new partition with 512 mb using the good old CWM

You just repartition through cwm(tried it myself before). Just like a first time partitioning

Your SD card will be formatted, old partition deleted, new partition created.

Just in case it isn't clear, you will lose all data on the sd card when you repartition. If you use gparted, you can accomplish the same thing, while preserving the data.

Copy your all data from SD card.
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
This will delete all your old partitions from SD card.
Now reboot in CWM recovery and partition your SD card according to your need.
Restore your data.

Cheers!!!

Use minipartition tool from a PC, connect your phone as usb storage and it will resize your sd card partition without formatting.
