Root run 'wipe ext' via adb

[steven198807]

I got villainrom 1.7 installed yestarday and today found that my camera does not work.

Been told to make sure i do a full wipe when installing to fix it, when selecting the option Wipe SD:ext partition > Home
I get the error run 'wipe ext' via adb
How do i fix this?

---------------------------
edit i just carryed on and skiped that step and installed my rom, now the camera is working.
Could this error stop anything else from working ?.

This is to be expected, since you probably havent created an ext partition on your SD card, which was required for old style apps2sd, but since youre now on Froyo, you dont need one (Froyo's built in apps2sd uses the main FAT32 partition).

In other words, youre trying to wipe a partition that doesnt exist, and it doesnt exist because you dont need it, so dont worry about it.
