[Q] Cant partition my sd card to via RomManager. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to partition my SD card (8G class 10) using the RomManager without any success.
After I chose all the parameter for the partition, the phone reboots and I receive a black screen with a droid and an orange exclamation mark.
The phone will stay like that (I left it for the whole night) unless I'll enter the recovery screen by pressing PWR+VOL UP.
If I do that I get the following error messages:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.07
finding update package
Opening update package
E: failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)
E: signature verification failed
instalation aborted.
I'll get the same errors if I'll enter the recovery from using the RomManager option.
If I'll enter the recovery via HBOOT these errors are gone.
My HTC desire is rooted, S-ON
Hboot 0.93.0001
Android 2.2.
Besides that I don’t have any other problems and the phone is working fine (or so I think )
Thanks in advance

ROM Manager is not an ideal solution to partition your card. I've found that the easiest solution is to use a dedicated partition manager like Gparted or use the partition manager of a Ubuntu LiveCD. If you have a spare blank cd, create a bootable cd with gparted, and use it to partition. Anyway, ROMmanager has a lot of limitations with partitioning, it's not at all flexible with sizes.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
One more noob's question.
After creating the partition (btw any recommends regarding optimal partition sizes ( is there anything else I should do to activate the a2sd+ option or it will be done automatically ?

Anything around or above 512 Mb should be fine. Dont go above 1.5Gb though. A2sd+ is automatic

You have to turn signature verification off in recovery. Boot in to recovery, then select "install zip form SD" there is the option to toggle signature verification, do that and reboot. Now you can use rom manager.

If you feel that you are not sure about using Gparted and stuff, continue with Rom Manager. In the Rom Manager menu, click flash ClockworkMod recovery and then select the options to partition your SD Card

Thanks,
I used Gparted and it worked like a charm

Good to know..
Gparted and its sibling in Ubuntu are really great if you want to play with your partitions, like resizing them.

you are on an erase size 40000 device
you must have used an old version of unrevoked to root
you need to flash a newer recovery
amonRA 2.0.0 or 2.0.1 is best to use
use the unrevoked tool again but before connecting the device select custom recovery and pick amonRA (when youve downloaded it) it should rlash the custom recovery for you
Thanks Rastaman-FB

First of all f4rell09, learn to use the search function and learn to READ!!
The solution is just a few posts above you -> so use AMONRa 2.0.0 /2.0.1 instead of CWM 2.5.0.7
hello, nagypapi,,just followed your instructions, and it worked,,with amonRA...but my problem now is ,,i tried to flash a ROM which is cyanogen mod 6.1.1..and downloaded it with rom manager,,after downloading is finish,,my phone rebooted,,but stayed on the logo of cyanogen mod,,forever,,,cant do anything with the phone now,,everytime i reboot it goes back to that logo,,can you help me ,,what can i do ,,did i do anything wrong,,is my phone broke already,,,thanks,,,
In almost every ROM's thread it is stated, that the first boot will take up to 10-15 minutes. So just wait until it's done.
And make sure you partitioned your SD Card (if required).
hello,again nagypapi.,., it seems that iits not only 10 to 15 mins. wait,,because i already waited for about 6 hrs,until the battery runs out,,but still when i switch the phone back on it is still on the logo of cyanogen mod, and i cant do anything with my phone,,what seems to be wrong,what have i done wrong..did i miss something,,is there any other way to get out of this,,??i have partitioned the sd card i think,,not sure..any help to fix my problem..pls,,thank you,,

i had the same problem too. couldnt back up or even restore. ended up formatting sd card to FAT32, creating a goldcard, restoring back to stock with RUU, rooted with unrevoked, s-off with alpharev 1.8, error gone. back up and restore worked from then on.

DID you do a FULL WIPE before flashing (System/cahce/dalcik)? And make sure, you've partitioned that SD Card... however, if the recovery did not give you any errors regarding sd-ext, then it's okay.
Also if a full wipe & re-flash won't help, then try a different kernel.

Hello, I've read a lot of threads about this problem and about rooting etc...
I'm having the same problem, I used unrevoked and the clockworkmod recovery can't make the backup. I too have PV4T memory (and superadmin icon).
I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. (because I'm new at this and afraid to mess up)
So, I was following the "Noob proof everything desire guide" from xda..
If I understand this correctly, I need to to S-off my device, install Amon Ra, backup and install the custom rom? Or just RUU my device and everything will be fixed, so I can start again with s-off, then use unrevoked, backup and install custom rom?
Thanks in advance!

About that rooting again with unrevoked. Do I have to unroot first before rooting again with AMONRa 2.0.0 /2.0.1? I have the same problem, but when I try to root again (without unrooting) I get the message "is your firmware too new?"

You can, but you need to S-OFF your device and use any tool (e.g. Android Flasher) to flash it or fastboot method or .zip etc...

[Q] (Q) Issues with flashing etc on Desire

Well, I have rooted my phone with unrevoked it installed the recovery mod 2.5.0.7 and I'm a bout to flash my phone. Thing is though I've been here for a while.
The story goes like this.. Relatively chronological..
I download HBOOT drivers install them on my Windows 7 64bit. I then download and run unrEVOked3, hook up my phone and choose charge only. unrevoked3 does it's thing and everything seems fine. I partition the SDcard with 6,5gb fat32 and 1gb ext4. Then i go into recovery i then go to wipe data/factory reset and chose it. Then i cant find dalvik data at first but i later find it, so i wipe that. Then I chose to install zip from sdcard which earlier moved. The InsertCoin A2SD+ 1.0.9 mod.
It starts up finds the file and starts flashing or so it seems.
It stops, and I cant remember the error message. So, I go searching cant really find anything except the fact that I should have wiped cache partitions also.. So I go back do a full wipe again and run it.
Then I get this error message: ( i tried again with a Cyanogen mod, and i got assert_failed write_raw_image...)
- assert failed: Package_extract_file("boot.img","/tmp/boot.img")
E: Error in /sdcard/InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_A2SD+_1.0.9.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted..
I then find the baadnwz irc and ask for help there.. repartition my sdcard with gparted, and run through it all again...
Same error..
I then notice that CWMR is saying:
E: Cant fint MISC:
E: Cant mount Cache:recovery/command
E:Cant find misc:
E:Cant mount cache:recovery/log
E: cant fin misc:
I ask if this is normal, NO, is the clear answer i get.. so i test different things, new repartition correct sized and everything..
Still same..
Then I go and download the Froyo RUU and install it reset everything (of course i forgot to sync my contacts..) and i do everything from the top root, cwrm and try flashing but the same errors are still there..
So i then create this thread hoping that this error already isnt here after search.. And hoping someone can help me..?
I'm running the HTC Desire on HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio 5.11.05.27.
Worst thing is no matter how many times i wiped the different things no changes were made on the phone, when i rebooted i still got up my original bckgrnd image and everything...
So, what is going on?
It might be worth watching a few vids and reading a few guides. Here's a start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084. Also, don't worry. I messed up too when I first started to root and flash.
I can't remember what the status 7 error is and how to fix it. Think it's just to re-download the rom and try again.
If you have PVT4 device, you need to use AmonRA recovery.
I guess you're S-ON? If S-OFF try recovery from my sig.
Ironically I have used the tutorial in the development forum.. Used all the videos i could find, except s-off cause i was told i didnt have to do that when i was just flashing a new ROM..
How do i know if i have a pvt4 device?
edit: i found out.. im a pvt4 device..
Then root again, download recovery from my sig unpack .img and choose "custom recovery" in unrevoked and select it.
You can also use AmonRA recovery.
Or if you don't want to root again, S-OFF and flash new recovery in fastboot.
I don't really understand why they made CWM default recovery in unrevoked, people have so many issues with it. :-(

[Q] Recovery not working, can't install ROM [Solved]

Hey all, I was trying to switch from G2 HBOOT to the Desire Z HBOOT. I was following the guide and it seemed to work ok. I am not a complete noob when it comes to flashing ROM and using ADB, but it seems I have done something wrong. I don't think my phone is bricked, but I can't do anything with it.
I can't seem to boot into my current ROM (an MIUI ROM), so I am trying to reinstall the ROM. I can reboot into bootloader and recovery from ADB. But when I reboot into Clockwork Recovery, none of the options work. Below the yellow line in CWR I see the following:
ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.0.2.4
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
When I select one options (e.g. Install zip from sdcard) it just gives me a black screen with the ROM Manager logo (the funny black hat with the orange circle).
All I want to do is flash a ROM so I can use my phone. I don't care if I have to do a full wipe of everything. I tried finding a way to update CWR, but the link in the thread doesn't seem to point anywhere. I also searched for a way to flash a ROM using fastboot, but none of the options seem to be for the G2.
Options I could use most:
1. How to mount system and wipe
2. How to install ROM via adb/fastboot
3. How to install the latest ClockworkMod Recovery
Any help would be appreciated.
First thing is your SD Card sound?
Are you sure changing hboot work 100% ?
Should be able to mount/wipe from recovery,
you can flash a recovery from fastboot,download the recovery .img look around for the instructions goes something like flash recovery recovery.img
Stick with v.3.0.2.4 as well
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
You need the vision version
Or as the two other posts mention don't use the power button to select things!!!!!!!
The errors you are getting are normal after changing hboots.
What button are you using to select items in cwm?
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Don't use power to select stuff in clockwork.
use either trackpad or camera button.

You know guys, I make a promise to myself every morning that I won't think like, act like, or in any way be like a noob. Today I broke my promise.
Thanks guys. Honestly, I never had a problem using the power button to select options before, so that's why this was totally freaking me out and I didn't even think that that might be the problem. But now I have installed a new ROM and am up and running again.
(quietly to myself)
I will not be a noob...I will not be a noob...I will not be a noob

Problem with rooting after new mainboard!

Tried Revolutionary but it does not work! After everything is ready and I'll go into recovery so it will just upload a picture on a phone with an exclamation point on!
But it says Revolutionary at the top of hboot.
Tried Unevoked.
Almost succeeded now Root with Unevoked but got this error message:
E: Can not find MISC:
E: Can not find mount CACHE: recovery / command
E: Can not find MISC:
E: Can not find mount CACHE: recovery / log
E: Can not find MISC:
+ The Revolutionary stands when I go into recovery!
how do I get rid of the Revolutionary, feels like a virus right now
Need help!
Hold vol down and press power. Does the screen say Revolutionary S-off? If so Revolutionary has updated your bootloader. This is good you don't want to get rid of this. It will give you many more options than S-on & doesn't effect the day to day use of the phone. It's the next level beyond root access.
Do you now have a recovery?
If you are s-off but with no recovery you can download 4ext recovery updater from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ext.recovery.control&hl=en and this will install a very good recovery for you.

Revolutionary doesn't root your phone it gives you S-off, which is a good thing so you want to keep it. Worthwhile you posting bootloader details to check, as odd custom recovery wasn't installed unless you said no to installing this. If Revolutionary was successful, as has been said install 4Ext recovery then, download either the Su zip package linked to on the Revolutionary documentation page, copy to sd card and flash from recovery or download custom Rom, copy to sd card and flash from recovery. Either should give you root access.

DInc Gingerbread Upgrade problem and Froyo CWM Errors - Can't Mount SDcard and Cache

This is a follow-up to my "Problem Installing Gingerbread; currently have Froyo 2.2 s-off" post.Thought I'd repost with an updated title that better reflects progress made so far in restoring my DInc.
Background:
- DInc purchased new; rooted; s-off; Incredikernal; Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod; CM7.2 (was on Tiny's CM10.1)
- Phone died while listening to music (plugged in to 5volt 2amp Nexus7 charger); would not boot beyond white HTC Incredible screen.
- Tried to restore nandroid backup.
- Upon booting to recovery received numerous “can’t mount” errors in ClockworkMod (CWM).
- Could not access zip from sdcard "E:Can't mount /sdcard/". (Note: also can't mount /emmc/)
- Tried loading image from nandroid backup via HBOOT, with no success
Progress:
- Flashed stock Froyo 2.2 via HBOOT successfully. DInc is working!
- Regained root via unrevoked3 successfully
- Flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 via HBOOT successfully
Issues:
1. Still can’t access sdcard
a. Confirmed card is formatted FAT32
b. SDCard seems OK – flashing image via HBOOT works and sdcard can be read from Froyo
c. Tried "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" followed by “fastboot reboot” commands. Programs ran but still no access.
d. Tried to re-format a different sdcard in Froyo, card got corrupted!
- Formatted FAT32 on PC, inserted in phone
- “Unmount SDcard” and "Format SDcard" in Froyo, could not “Mount sdcard” in Froyo.
- PC says that SDcard needs to be formatted
e. Help please!
2. CWM mount errors:
a. ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount /cache:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E:Can't mount /cache:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
b. ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
c. Are these errors possibly related to bad partitions: Should I try Parted per topic 6433 at cyanogenmod forum (sorry, can’t post links)?
d. Are these errors possibly caused by the Convert2Ext4 mod, and should I try to run that again if/when I get my sdcard mounted?
e. Are these errors probably hardware related, and I stop looking for a software fix?
3. Gingerbread
a. I tried to load Gingerbread images (from pvillecomp, and also a version from cmlusco) via HBOOT; but no luck (boot loop).
b. I tried to load the Gingerbread RUU (from pvillecomp), but no luck. Perhaps a HTC Sync issue, but have not yet reloaded HTC Sync.
c. If I can't overcome mounting problems, I would at least like to be running Gingerbread vs Froyo (hence title of original thread).
d. Help please!
Thanks all,
Al
Please don't double post or post a new thread just to edit the title. You can edit your own OP to reflect progress made, (and edit the Title of the OP above the Message/Body portion in the Advanced edit screen).
Have you tried the latest TWRP? I see you have tried the latest CWM.
PonsAsinorem,
Sorry for double-posting, and thanks for taking the time to describe how I should go about changing the title going forward.
Thanks also for the suggestion to try TWRP instead of CWM. Unfortunately I couldn't get TWRP to load.
I downloaded the latest version for the DInc from the TWRP site (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-inc.img) and tried to load via fastboot - got the error message "FAILED: Remote not allowed".
I then tried to flash via HBOOT (I zipped the twrp image, naming the file PB31IMG.zip). It got to the "Parsing PB31IMG" stage, but I never received the option to Install Yes/No.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Al

Not quite as simple as just zipping. Here, load this one through HBOOT:
PB31IMG.zip - 4.04 MB

Thanks! That file loaded and I have TWRP running. I then tried to Mount the sdcard. The line item "highlights", but the checkbox doesn't check (The only items that "check" are System and Data).
Should I try "Factory Reset" as my next step?
Thanks again,
Al
Thanks PonsAsinorem for closing the other thread. My apologies again for the double post - I realize now how such a practice causes avoidable confusion.
Trozzul, thanks for your input on the other thread "yeah i saw that too i think it only works with AOSP, i think the problem might be your recovery, i saw that you used two different versions, 5.0.x.x and 2.5.x.x, have you tried the latest, 6.0.X.X? not sure if our ol dinc is update able to 6.0.x.x, i would try another custom recovery too, i know my inc has some flashing issues on CWM"
Per the ClockworkMod website, the latest CWM Recovery for the DInc is 5.0.2.0, so I think 6.0.X.X is not an option. Also, as mentioned above, PonsAsinorem has helped me get TWRP loaded. Am awaiting suggestions for next steps.
Thanks again,
Al
Well I'm just going to watch and see for right now, I'm not sure what's wrong with your twrp, maybe pons will know
