Help Gparted can't format ext3 partition

[rx93]

Hi all,

Finally got my Desire back. Tried to create 1Gb ext3 partition on my SD card but got an error. However, Gparted can format ext2 partition with same size.

Am I having a bad SD card or what? Thanks in advance.

Hi danfrance & Rastaman, I am on my way to work now. Will try to get the error message when I am home. Would like to get everything prepared to root my phone again. Thanks.

That's very weird! I tried another 1Gb card today and formatted ext3 successfully. Then I switched back to the original 16Gb card and ext3 created...

Thanks anyway.

edit: I tried to create a goldcard this time. When I go to androidsdk\tools\adb devices. My serial number doesn't show up. It only said "List of devices attached". Something wrong?

Hi danfrance,

I followed below link to create a goldcard.

How To: Create a Goldcard | TheUnlockr

I pressed back + power button and then connected my phone to PC. After that I typed "adb devices" command. Since I rooted my phone with the same laptop before, not sure if those already installed drivers mess thing up?

Finally, I think I created a goldcard successfully following TheUnlockr procedures.

However, I can't root my phone with unrEVOked 3.2. It gave me Validation error: Backup CID is missing...

My phone detail is:
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON
Hboot-0.93.0001
Microp-051d
Radio-5.11.05.27

Thanks a lot danfrance.

Edit: Sorry. It seems to be a bit complicated to me.
When it said: "Please ensure you have downloaded the other stuff file on the second post before continuing and have extracted it to C:\root." I can't find other stuff to be downloaded.

Those are like adb commands, shouldn't I go to my androidsdk\tools\ to execute them?

Also, I am completely lost with below:

(If you’ve done hex editing before, all you do is put the CID you got above in at position 0 then add a 00 at the end so the hex string looks something like “48 54 43 5F 5F 30 30 31 00&#8220

Make sure you save the file that we give you back to C:\root\adb overwriting the original misc.img file.

Anyone can help me please? I tried unrEVOKed 3.14 too but it failed to push recovery image... Thank you.

Update: Issue solved. Got help from rootmydroid IRC.
