How to upgrade to ext4?
i have ext2 or 3 dont know and the newest ClockWordMOD Recovery installed with a Online Kitchen ROM from Modaco. I Flashed a new kernel that only Supports ext4 so i flashed my old boot.img from modaco and Wifif dont work and i think other modules not, too. So i need to flash the Kernel and i need to upgrade to ext4 to boot with the new kernel -.- anoying .... how to upgrade? All Recovery functions in this case are lost

I have clockwork 2.5, rfs, supernova, genocide kernal.
Can i just run 1click 3.0 to upgrade clockwork, and get ext4. Or do I have to return to stock first?
You can just run the one click.
Once installed, it will back up your phone, convert and restore your phone.
Make sure you have an EXT4 kernel on your SD card, or a dual filesystem (RFS & EXT4) kernal installed, or your phone will not boot once you install CWM 3.0.0.6 and convert to EXT4
AFAIK, the Genocide Kernel 0.3a does support RFS & EXT4

I think kernel would be ok too, but it shouldn't matter. Since I'm planning on installing frozen immediatly. I think I know everything I need to do. But could someone check my steps and make sure I don't forget something
first do 1click root 3.0. after converting to ext4(without reboot), wipe,wipe,wipe, flash frozen.
Seems to easy, I'm afraid I'm missing something.
That's pretty much all you do. ) Same steps I took.
I will flash it tomorrow, when I have all weekend to fix any screwups. Hopefully frozen 1.0.1 will come out tonight. But either way Its getting installed.
I have a need for speed!
I recently rooted my desire with unrevoked. I have cwm 5.0.2.0 recovery, but I can't seem to make custom roms work. I first tried to flash the 3.5 htc sense Cool Sense rom, but it got stuck after the boot image. Then I tried Leeroid and Cyanogenmod, but they both entered bootloops. Before I started the flashing, I updated my radio from 5.11.05.27 to 5.17.05.23, but I didn't update the ril. Could it have anything to do with that?
Or could it be the hboot? I don't know much about it, but its version 93.0001, and because I s-offed my phone with revolutionary, it says "AlfaRev Revolutionary" on top. Do I have to flash a custom hboot?
Or do all these roms need sd card partitioning? I did a 2gb partition with cwm recovery, but I don't think it worked.
By the way:
Htc desire GSM
Hboot 93.0001
Cwm 5.0.2.0 recovery
Stock 2.2 android rom
Baseband 5.17.05.23

Hi,
I have similar problem. I rooted it with Unrevoked and s-offed it using the alpharev utility. Only roms I was able to flash were the Oxygen 2.3.2 and CyandroigenMod 7. When I tried other roms it just stuck on the alpharev splash screen, I left it like that for couple hours like that but nothing was happening...and I had the proper hboot image flashed that was required for the roms.
Do you have any advice what should I do?
Thanks.
I am not an expert, but somewhere I read that the recovery cwm 5.xx has some problem. Try the 4Ext recovery that is based on cwm and for me works efficiently.
Another question, you speak about Oxigen and Cyano, both use modified table partition. Have you changed the partition table and downloaded the right rom version for that table?
Just so you know, Oxygen and Cyanogenmod roms will work even on stock hboot and doesn't require EXT partition for it to install and run on your phone.. You'll have issues with the memory for your apps though and that's what the custom partition table and EXT partition and a2sd, data2sd etc. scripts are for.
On the other hand, some ROMs (Sense based roms most of the time) REQUIRE that you have an EXT partition on your SD for it to install and work properly. Check the rom thread and read the requirements!
As for creating ext partitions on your sdcard, I recommend using 4EXT Recovery or alternatively Gparted on your desktop computer.
This would only be true if Clockworkmod was updated to V.5.x. If I'm not mistaken, alpharev's s-off method puts in his own modified version of clockworkmod. I'm not sure if his version is based on V.5.x ...

As stankyou said you are facing all these problems because your sdcard has no EXT4 partition.
Partition your sdcard to xyz FAT32 + 1gb EXT4
did you do a full wipe/factory reset from the recovery before flashing the custom roms ??
Thanks guys for your help. The problem was that I didn't have the sd-ext partition, so I created it and now it works
Hey guys, sorry for making another thread, but i would really like this resolved soon! Anyway, I want to flash cm7, but in the thread it says:
"If you from stock / custom rom based on rfs filesystem, u must flash ext4-formatter.zip before flash CyanogenMod. link & instruction can fount on This Thread. otherwise you'll stuck on android logo because it cant mount rfs filesystem!"
Im coming from stock rom, i don't know if it is based on rfs filesystem (because I'm still a noob), so I would just like to know if I should flash it first.
Also, should I factory reset from CWM first, or can i do it after?
Thanks!
Flash cm7, then wide data and cache, wait 5 minutes, and its booting.
Note you choose the best recovery, I recommend to use clockworkmod with ext and rfs support

when in doubt, use the version with most compatibility =)
ext4+rfs worked fine for my Gio with stock ROM 2.3.3
Hi, sory for newb posts. But this all got a bit more complicated since my HTC days!
I managed to get cmod7 working (remove apk to stop looping on boot!).
But what can I flash now with the CM kernel I have?
Or how/what kernel to flash and what ROM for best/stable device?
I see and have the Mooded rom, but do i need to flash kernel first? And baseband etc.?
All gone strange since i last flashed devices!!
Thanks !
there should be a list of suitable kernels in any rom thread. download the ROM zip to your SD card, use fastboot to boot the kernel, enter cwm and wipe data(if necessary), and flash the zip and any modules if required.

Hi,
I just rooted my Samsung GIO (GT-S5660) and installed CWM 5.0.2.6. So, currently, I still have my good old stock rom (android 2.3.6)
To go further I would like to make a nandroid back'up, BUT CWM can't load system, data and cache ("error mounting /system")... thus it doesn't backup stuff.
I would like to replace CWM with PX Recovery. Can I do this at this stage? (using stock recovery and dreaming at Cyanogen 9)
And... note that PX Recovery has only support for ext4. This means I won't be able to use it with my stock rom?
My insecurity comes from the fact I didn't quite understood in which case of the following I'm in:
ext4 only
ext4+rfs
U can't use px recovery since stock ROM's use RFS Filesystem and px recovery supports only ext4 and by the way why using old cwm? Use latest one which supports rfs file system

If I understood correctly, you are telling me that my CWM 5.0.2.6 doesn't support RFS.
Based on this, my current STOCK rom is not supported.
This is why I can't mount those partitions?
Continuing the logic, installing PX Recovery won't change my situation; it won't support my STOCK rom.
Finally... Your advice is to (remember that currently I'm using my stock rom):
install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7 ext+rfs (Phiexz)
make nandroid backup of my stock rom (should work, right?)
use ext4-formatter.zip ?? (do I need this step? what should I expect to happen if I flash this?)
install CM9 by Phiexz or Maclaw
Many thanks
P.S.: OR... should I take this path:
install ClockWorkMod 6.1.0.2
make nandroid backup of my stock rom (should work, right?)
install CM9 by Phiexz or Maclaw

.Yea u should install Clockworkmod which supports
both filesystem
.Well u can make backup but if u flash the and custom rom and ext4 formatter zip ur filesystem will be ext4 and not rfs so u wouldnt be able to restore it but u wouldnt brick ur phone tht easily
.Install any ROM u want
. Flash ext4-filesystem formatter.zip when u flash the ROM.(In my case i really didnt flash this zip when i go from stock to custom rom i just rebooted and waited for some mins and then it booted)
