[Q] Installed ROMs dont work.

Desire just rooted. Everything went fine. Has root access
radio: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
ROMS tried: Oxygen gingerbread, LeeDroid
Once i flash the rom, both gets stuck/sort of rom loop after htc logo.
I did wipe cache, etc.
Also tried radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 on oxygen
Anyone got possible solutions why roms are stuck/boot looping

Latest 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 is not the problem.
Did you do a full wipe (dta/cahce/dalvik)?
Is your card partitioned for A2SD+/D2E?

I did wipe data cache and dalvik via anon ra. Even did a SD repair.
My ext3 is 1.1gb. Could that be a problem.

if i remember correctly maximum size for ext partition was 1 gb (though i am not 100% sure)
oh and remember to be patient, it can take around 15min to boot up after flashing a new ROM

oh...I will change it to like 800MB and see what happens
I waited around 10 minutes. Will do longer this time.

Still does not work.
New size 850MB on ext3
Then I reformatted to ext3
(When i checked on Gparted there was still 30 Mb used which was lost+found)
Went back to AmonRa and reflashed Oxygen ROM. Still stuck at Oxygen Logo
Its been 16 minutes and counting.
Any more ideas?

If you think your ext partition is right you can try with a sd card without a ext partition cause oxygen doesn't need one. This should help determine where the problem is. Also make sure that when you flash oxygen you have signature verification enabled so that you don't flash a corrupted download.
If the normal card works or you don't have a extra card, format your entire card and redo the partitions. Make sure you do the partitions while the card is in a card reader or the phone is in recovery. The size can be above 1gb but not above 2gb, however for A2SD rom's there is no point in ext partitions bigger than 1gb.

Finally works after reformatting again and wiping everything
Thank You all

[Q] Problems with Boot after replacing SDHC

Ok, I've searched everywhere and I cant find an answer so I've come here for help.
I've got a Telstra Branded HTC desire, been rooted and is running Leeroid 2.3 for the last month and its been great. Just bought a new 32gb SDHC to replace my old 8gb. Put it in my phone and detected it without a problem, was able to run "ClockWorkMod" to install a partition for A2SD "512mb ext, 0mb swap". Booted recovery, backed up, wiped the factory/data, Wiped Partition Cache and Wiped Dalvik Cache.
Now here's the problem
After all that is done I reboot from recovery mode, The phone hangs at the First Telstra Logo "The White HTC screen for original Rom". Take the 32gb SDHC out and put the old 8gb and it boots normally, take the 8gb out and have no memory and it boots normally.
Anyone know what the problem is? I've been re-installing the Rom on both the 8gb and 32gb, Re-Formatted the 32gb, copied all the files from the 8gb to 32gb and ran a full nandroid backup and still have the same problem........
While Restoring a copy of the backup from the 8gb on the 32gb, I got two things that are missing according to the check.
".android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure."
"sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of sd-ext/."
Spent the last 5 hours fiddling around with the phone but getting really frustrated, any help or a solution would be great
Thanks

It is definitely your SD Card.
However, a nandroid restore should work.
And from some reason you miss some files from your backup. The EXT.img is vital to make the ROM Run.
It does not even boot if you flash the ROM again after a full wipe?

When you mean full wipe, thats re-installing the rom from the 32gb SDHC or do I have to format something in Recovery Mode?
I donno why it cant find the EXT.img when I do the backup, if all fails I might as well throw out the SD card since its purpose was just for the phone......=_=
Yeah, a copied backup from the 8gb on the 32gb does the same thing, just hangs on the white splash logo thingy

Why not just wipe everything and start from scratch? Bit of a pain but if it works, it works.

I am willing to do that, the thing is whenever I put the 32gb card in my phone, it just hangs on the first set of logo's.
I've copied the Leeroid to the root of the 32gb, wiped the Factory/Data, Partition Cache and so on.
Go into install from zip and select Leeroid 3.2d.zip and run that. It finishes installing and asks me to reboot. I reboot manually and it loads the first set of logos and hangs.......
I've put the memstick in the phone and it worked before I partitioned it for A2SD. After that, its just been chaos, Im using the 8gb stick again so I can make calls an all but 32gb would be great to use =_=
If there's anyway to get this thing up and running on the 32gb. Doesnt matter if I have to start from scratch, as long if it works. That would be great ^_^

SD CARD = your 32 GB card
1. Partiton your SD CARD for A2SD+ (512MB Ext3 minimum)
2. Put SD CARD in the phone, copy Leedroid_a2sd.zip (or whatever it is) to the card.
3. In recovery wipe everything (data(factory reset)/cahce/dalvik cache) - dalvik is found under the advanced menu.
4. Install Leedroid 2.3
5. First boot takes 5-15 mins, so just wait.

I've got the 32gb SD Card working again, turns out that the partition I created on ClockWorkMod was corrupted. Rejoined the Partition, Wiped everything and installed Leeroid 2.3 and it works fine and the phone picks up the memory.
New Problem
I cannot get ClockWorkMod to create the partition since it automatically reboots the phone every time I attempt it and I get an black screen with an android/! picture.
Im using Gparted to create the A2SD partition but each time I create one I get an error
Unable to detect file system! Possible reasons are:
- The File System is Damaged
- The File System is Unknown to Gparted
- There is no file system available
- The device entry /dev/sdc2 is missing
I'm assuming that the SDHC I bought, for some reason doesn't allow me to create a partition? If that is the case, is there any work around to install apps to the SDHC. The Desire is such an awesome phone but it lacks the internal memory
nagypapi, I know I'm asking too many questions but your help means a lot

What card is it? If it was a cheap one, it can cause problems.
And partition it from the phone using GParted.
Boot into recovery, mount USB storage. And the run Gparted.
Remove both partitions, and create new ones from scratch.
If GParted still gives an error, try to format it on the PC.

I bought the SDHC from eBay, doesn't have a brand but it works apart from the whole partition thingy.
I got the error when I format the SDHC on the computer with card reader, I'll have a go with the USB Storage on the phone recovery mode. Donno if it will make a difference but I'll give it a shot anyways, I cant do it now since I have work tomorrow but I'll attempt it while I'm working and get back to you

Sounds like a defective card, send it back, if possible. Never use "unbranded" cards.

Please mention the steps u followed while installing the ROM in details?
Do u have a 512+ MB ext4 partition on ur SD card? If you have, then check whether properly partitioned ur SD card thru 4EXT recovery or something.

Ermm I was on another 3.5 sense rom so i decided to flash a different one but my ext partition was too small. i then used partition magic to format and then create a 1gb ext4 partition i then wiped everything and flashed the rom and all i got was a black screen. I wiped the sd card again and formatted it again and put the old rom back on and it didnt boot it just force closed everything so I formatted the card AGAIN and then tried the old rom and it worked. I dont know what im doing wrong ?

Partition your SD card for 1GB ext4 using GPartedLive or 4Ext recovery. You can even check the alignment and health of Fat32 and ext partitions through 4Ext.
Do a clean wipe before you install this.
Stock hboot or CM7/r2?

[Q] Moving to a new sd card

hello,
first of all i would like to point out that i have searched for this topic and have tried a few solutions, but it didnt work..
here it goes..
so im switching to a new sd, and just tried to swap the cards but when i do that im either stuck in bootloop,
or if i reflash i have nothing installed on the phone (and i dont mean apps, bcs there isnt a lot of them and i dont mind reinstalling),
for example when i press settings it says it is not installed lol..
there is also nothing on the homescreens, and when the screen locks i cannot unlock it bcs there are no buttons..
Its a 16GB class 6 card with a fat 32, and ext3 (1024mb), and a ext4 (768mb), as is requred by some roms (feel free to correct me if im wrong)
The formatting was done by minitool, as i cannot go into disk drive mode to do it with gparted (with the new card inserted almost nothing works)
the old one is a 4gig with a etx3(1024mb) and works normally when i put it back, although sometimes it needs reflashing..
i have tried mirroring the old cards folder to the new one, via sd card reader, but it doesnt solve the problem...it stays the same..
any and all help is appreciated

You should do a nandroid backup of your rom, copy entire FAT32 over to the new card and then do a nandroid restore.

It was used by scripts which are not developed for about a year and thus obsolete. No mainstream script requires that.

Thx (hvala
will try it later on today....do i need any ext partitions?
is ext3 enough?

It is enough, but the question remains whether it will work if you used that same dual ext partitions setup on your old 4GB card. I'm not sure, but maybe someone could clarify that. Ext partition is needed, otherwise you'll end in a bootloop - especially if some vital parts of the rom were symlinked there.

I presume you have cwm recovery installed.
If so format your card with SDformatter V 3.1. TO FAT 32 with size adjustment on.
This will format all your card to fat32,
Put the card back in phone and partition the card from within cwm recovery,
Select size of ext partition (1024kb is usually big enough) select 0 for swap.
Ext partitions are used to save on internal memory by moving apps ( (and sometimes data and dalvik cache aswell) to the ext partition and using it as if it was internal memory.
Hope this helps...

i have used only ext3 on my old card...so i guess the same would work on the new one....
so if i got this right, i can restore the old rom via nandroid...and i guess flashing something else in the future should also work...

CWM Recovery is at version 5.0.2.6 at the moment this partitions sdext with ext3 which works fine on nearly all roms. There is a 4Ext Recovery available which can convert ext3 to ext4 if required, just do a search for it if you need it, but you should be fine with ext3.

i have AmonRA
edit: am i able to to the same with it?
i remember it has the format option in the menu...
also 1024kb?
i have 1024mb lol

Yea I presume so, I use cwm!. Just follow the instructions for your rom..and create the partition if required

The restore thingy didnt help, ima still stuck at boot logo, or if i try another restore, i manage to boot, but again nothing is installed (settings and stuff)
will try the reformat and see how it goes...
why cant i just flash a brand new rom to this empty card?

HTC Desire Reboot Loop

Currently Using Miui xj 2.3.2
Phone reboot loop.
Phone was working fine for 4-5 months. The reboot start to occurs yesterday when battery die. When turn on after its goes to reboot loop.
Try To Fix the Problem:
Wipes and reinstall.
Try Different Roms.
Took Sim,SD, and Battery out.

How is SD card partitionend and which version do you use? Please also provide the information from hboot.

HBoot - 0.93.001
Bravo PVT3 S-off
Radio= 5.17.05.08
Partition= 1Gb of EXT4, Rest Fat32 (8Gb)
Work fine before.
Started to reboot loop so decided to re wiped and flash again and also tried different rom. No luck.

Could be a corrupted sd card or at least the EXT part of it. What roms did you try? Did you try cyanogenmod? It doesn't need EXT partition to boot so you can try to flash that if you haven't.

Wich software did you use to partition SD card? What's your current recovery?

Can you access recovery?
This sounds like a corrupt filesystem/partition on sdcard.
- Just try to watch the logs via "adb logcat".
- re-partition your sdcard, or try rebuilding filesystem.

I tried "cyanogenmod" it's working fine. Lasted over 24 hours without reboot. I guess it something do with SD Card.
Guess i will try to re-partition the SD card or use new SD card i have at home.
BTW, what you mean by "try rebuilding filesystem."
I currently using 4EXT Recovery R5.
Edit:
Partition New SD Card (8GB)using G parted.
Fat32 - Rest
Ext4 -1GB
Then flashed Miui xJ a2sd 2.3.2. Still giving me boot loop. Boot to the lockscreen but it reboot after.

I recommend to re-partition your SD card. BUT ONLY WITH 4EXT Recvovery or GParted. Otherwise your partitons might not get correctly aligned.

Next question would be is if you gparted it properly.
via xda app

Pretty Sure I did.
First:
Primary
Fat32
Free Space: 1024MB
Second:
Primary
EXT4
1024MB
Applied at the end.
I also check the partition alignment using the 4ext recovery and it said it was fine.

Anyone know the problem or solution?

Tried if re-download of the rom helps? Otherwise, I would say it's a faulty SD card (but not sure about it).

then that would mean he has 2 faulty sd cards? the 8gb was a new one right?
