Help SD card 2nd partition cannot mount on Redmi 1S

Hi all, I'm using a Redmi 1S phone with 16Gb SD card. Up until a few days ago, my phone was running well on MIUI 7 ROM, was rooted and my downloaded apps linked to SD card using Link2SD app. The SD card had two partitions, one 12 GB FAT32 main partition and one 4 GB 2nd partition, also FAT32 format.

A few days ago, an app update caused my phone to brick, which I subsequently fixed by flashing the redmi 1S ROM to my phone. The phone is now updated to MIUI Global 8.1, with android version 4.4.4. However, after rooting the phone and trying to link my apps to SD card 2nd partition again, Link2SD kept saying that mount scripts had been created and I needed to reboot the phone to mount the 2nd partition. However, after rebooting, the same message would appear, indicating that the 2nd partition failed to mount.

I tried to fixed this using the Aparted app ( which I used to partition the SD card before) and reformatted the SD card so the 2nd partition is in ext2 format, but the same messages and refusal to mount occurred. I then reformatted the 2nd partition to ext4, but same issue occured again. The 1st partition does show as mounted, but the 2nd partition cannot be detected at all by Link2SD.

Appreciate any advice on how to resolve this. Thank you!
