Root [Noob Thread]Q&A regarding flashing,rooting,custom roms..etc.

Well in your first post the A2SD was running as user not as root. So he was printing you access denied. If everything is working your app files davik-cache and etc.. should be on sd-ext only a link is on /data. Now check how much storage space left you have on your phone memory trough Settings > Storage. On the botton there is free space for internal memory . Please post how much space you have left in you internal memory trough Settings

take a look at the scr shots in zip...i am really confused now....:thinking:
so what next...?

It seems A2SD is working on your phone...:)

You can install A2SDGUI from market and use it, its the GUI that provides you to manage the settings of the script. You can also check there to see whether apps are on sdcard or not... It will say APPS are on sd on the A2SD tab.:)

You will lose al your data on old sd-card if you partition right away. You will need to do this instead:

COpy all data of sd-card to computer or any other storage media.
Change your sd-card with 8 GB. or, [Partition your sd-card]
Again Copy all your data back to your new sd-card from your pc.

OR, you can mount both new and old sd-card to your pc with the help of card reader. Then copy data from old sdcard to new one. Now you can use new one that also has same data.

You can do either way...
The main thing is to copy all data from old to new one. And it doesn't matter how you do that. :)

You might connect one with usb storage, another with card reader and then copy from and to another. (Since FLash disk are slower, this method will cost you a huge time.)
Or,
connect old one with pc, copy its contents/data to pc and then connect new one and copy all data from pc.
:)
Good Luck!!! (I will also need to change my memory card, 4 GB is not enough after partitioning,:D)

It seems to have flashed correctly... Did you reboot your device to recovery and saw any changes. make sure you connect your phone in download mode and then load the recovery in One package field and flash. :)

The same backup adn restore is the nadndroid backup every one talks about. it didn't do anything because CWM recovery can't backup stock roms (system being rfs partiton). It is mostly for custom roms that are ext based. It works fine on all custom rom. :)
