Ok so yesterday I rooted my phone, and partitioned my sd. Today I realized I may not have fully finished partitioning my sd so I back up my files, went into recovery did SD partitioning, wiped the phone then rebooted. When I did this the phone booted up and now it just shows the background the battery life and the signal strength. It will not allow me to drag down the top so that I can select disk drive. I went back into recovery to do a nanodroid back up and it says "couldnt open directory /sdcard/nanodroid/ ?????? I am not sure what to do. Prior to this I was running mikg 2.5 I had superwipe and switched recoveries to PC36IMG RA 2.3.zip. Someone please chime in and let me know if there is a solution. Thank you

did you put a ROM that you wanted to use on there??? after you upgrade ext2 to ext3, go back to the menu and hook up your usb cable, and select usb/ms toggle....this allows you to access your sd card on your computer....copy the rom you want to use over to the sd card, then hit the power button to deselect usb/ms toggle, then do your wipe of cache, dalvik cache, and data, then flash the superwipe zip.....then flash your rom and reboot....here is a guide that should help you....

Thank you so much, I think this will help. I will try and let you know. The main problem I was having is I was trying to reboot the phone and go into disk mode to move the ROM ect. back over. I couldnt figure out how to get into my sd card otherwise. ZI gues usb/ms toggle will do this. Thank you again.

Since the SD was wiped will I need to re flash the recovery PC36IMG RA 2.3.zip???

no, Amon Ra is your recovery, thats where you do all your flashing and wiping and what not.....thats already been flashed into the ROM itself during your rooting process....you dont even need that zip file on your sd card anymore....just make sure you keep the file saved on your computer somewhere....

Oh also will I have to re flash the super user??? sorry for all the questions?

super user, no...thats the file that you use during your rooting process....once your rooted and have your recovery in, you do not need the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file or the PC36IMG.zip on your sd card anymore...but keep them saved on your computer somewhere....the only file you absolutely need on your sd card is the superwipe.zip ....you have to flash that file every time you want to flash a rom....

P.S. you always want a nandroid backup saved on your sd as well...
