Original Factory Partition Scheme
 

Hey how's it going everyone. I tried getting android on my n810 the hard not knowing there was the easy .deb file way. During the whole learning experience I messed up my internal memory card. I just want to partition it back to how it was. Doing the format from the file manager does not format it back to the original partition scheme. I just wondering if anyone could get me to a link or something that can show me how to restore back to the original factory default of the memory card.

Thanks in advance,

Ok

1) There is no easy .deb way. That is for the old android.

2) Its easy. I don't know how to do it under Windows. The stupid disk management tells me it cant format a removable drive.

So, boot into Ubuntu (live CD is fine),

open gparted,

and select the internal card (connect the N810 with USB to the computer, it should mount the card automatically).

On the desktop, you should see some icons in the shape of a SD card. Right click and unmount them. If they come back during this process, immediately unmount them.

Now, with Gparted, simply delete all the partitions except for your first FAT32 one. If you don't have a FAT32 partition, delete all the partitions. Then, just make the whole card into FAT32.

Yeah! Done!

THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA,

Or just use sfdisk from the tablet's terminal on /dev/mmcblk0.

Alright, so I tried gparted, fdisk, and sfdisk. I wipe it all and make it fat 32. Everytime I restart my n810 I still get memory card is corrupt, and must be reformatted. I'm thinking I did something really bad. Any other suggestions?

EDIT: Do I need to use my internal memory for android. Can I just go out and buy one, and use that? I was planning on buying one anyways.


EDIT EDIT: Alright so I can now reformat it in File Manager, but after I restart my n810 it goes back to being corrupted. Why won't the partition stayed formatted?
