[guptaakruti]

I installed APP2SD application on my motorola milestone xt720.It asked me that it will create partition so i created two partition 1st of 5gb(this was fat format) & 2nd of 2.5gb(this was .ext2 format) it deleted all my data frm mmc.then it restarted.after that i transferred all my apps to mmc then restarted since then my phone is not turning on with mmc in it. as i remove & try to turn it on it does turn on.I did factory resetting then i tried formatting my card from comp but it shows on 5gb space.how to solve this problem

Same problem I am also facing on my XT720. Please someone help... I changed memory card, phone is working fine. But I don't want to discard that 8GB card.

well I found this I hope this will help you both

I tried the Rom partition method but that didn't work for me so I got it to work using Hiren's Boot Cd (available for free to download) and used it to partition my mini-sd card. When using it to format please remember to create partitions in the following order:

1) Fat32 [I gave it around 6.4gb]
2) ext2 or ext3 (I used ext3) [I gave it around 1gb]
3) swap [gave it what was left around 140mb or so; give it atleast 128mb]

You can also use Gparted (again available for free to download) to create the partitions.

Don't forget to mark all your partition's active before you exit for it to work or else your milestone will mark it damaged and you will have to restart the entire process.

Once the formatting was done i followed the following steps to successfully install Apps2SD.


Type: cd/ (to get to the root of your C: drive)
Type: cd /android/tools (to get to the folder of the Android SDK which i mentioned earlier)
Type: adb devices (you should see your Milestone serial number showing up. If you do not see serial number, it means there is no connection to your Milestone)
Type: adb shell
Type: su (make sure you do not see a prompt window on your Milestone. If you do, grant permission for it to access)
Type: cd /sdcard/apps2sd
Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)
Type: y (to confirm that you want to install)
wait for the prompt to show you that App2SD is complete and a reboot is needed for it to take effect.
Type: y (to confirm reboot. You might notice that Milestone do not reboot by self which is normal)
Type: reboot (if you find Milestone do not reboot after you enter y as above mentioned)

Enjoy after the reboot...


Couple of things:

1) I don't take credit for any of the mentioned steps, all goes to the original poster.
2) Please be aware that this is all at your own risk.
3) If you do need any help please feel free to ask.

Have fun ,

If you get stuck in a boot loop, hold the camera key, until it boots back into the OS when the phone goes back into the OS run App2card you'll get a message about problem with ext2 select Fix it'll ask you to reboot let it reboot the phone should be back to normal after reboot. I will try this tomorrow & let you know

Better you change memory card. Thats the better solution.. Just go through Milestone XT720 section at XDA Developers forum, you will find easy methods of creating partition & transferring apps to memory card.
