[Q] Problem installing a custom rom - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to instal a custom rom (RCMixHD_v014_OF) to my HTC Desire.
At first I had my phone rooted,then I downloaded rom manager and I backed up my rom,and then I tried to install with rom manager and it didn't work,it also didn't work when I tried to install it through the recovery mode.I try to install it and it says:
-- Installing: SDCARD:RCMixHD_v014_OF.zip

You need an EXT3 partition for that ROM, sounds like you've not got one

Yep. Agreed. Sounds Like No EXT Try (Re)partioning using something like GParted live CD or Paragon Partition Manager

[Q] Problem with Clockwork

I just used Amon Ra recovery to create an ext4 partition on my sd. Went fine, but now I've switched back to Clockworkmod recovery and every time it starts/I go back to main menu I get this error:
"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)
That first line shows up as well whenever I've tried to wipe dalvik cache for the last few months.
This whole error shows up when I try to create a backup as well right when it starts to backup cache, then just stops. doesn't backup cache or ext partition and doesn't generate md5 sum.

I tried that fix twice, but I keep getting this:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 has unsupported feature<s>: extents gdt_checksum
e2sfck:Get a newer version of e2sfck!
and clockwork continues with the same errors at the main menu.
EDIT: Upon typing "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" in adb shell, I get the error "/sbin/sh: e2fsck: not found".

sounds like you trashed your internal EXT2 partitions.....I did the same with amon recovery..........here is the post I used to fix the situation:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
after I did this procedure, I had to unroot back to stock, then unrevoked again.

WTH man that sucks. all just because of retarded Amon ra ext partitioning for an sd card.

I thought I was changing my sd card from ext2 to ext4, too...... and somehow ended up changing the internal to ext4........took a little research to get it fixed.

That's odd. I used it just the other day to partition my SD card with 512mb sd-ext, 32mb swap, and the rest as FAT32 and it worked flawlessly. Something that clockwork couldn't do, mind you.

I worked, perfectly, to do that for me............it went awry when I tried to change the partition from ext2 to ext4. The new clockwork has the ability to partition your sd card in it..........but now I am gun shy to try.
I knew clockwork has problems partitioning sd, so I stayed away from it. That's why I used Amon Ra to get it done. did partition sd, then did ext2 to ext3 then to ext4. Then flashed back to Clockwork and next thing I know this problem comes up.
I had this same problem last night. I fixed it by going into ROM manager and reflashing clockwork
I tried reflashing recoveries, but that didn't work. I went through the process that was posted above and it fixed it, although I didn't have to RUU back or anything. I just formatted everything on my phone, pushed the 6 files and ran the parted program, then all was fine. Did the partition on my sd again to ext4 and now it works

clockworkmod, at least 2.5.0.5, can't handle ext4 partitions.

I'm on 2.5.0.5 and have an ext4 (that works now) and it seems fine.

Interesting. When I created an sd-ext partition ext4 clockwork wouldn't recognize it, giving me the same errors above. Switching it to ext2 worked fine.

Is this me doing it wrong or is there some bug? I'm able to install roms just not this one.
EDIT: i've tried the desireZ rom aswell and that failed. I also noticed the line "E:Can't mount SDEXT:" and tried an sd card with an ext3 partition but it then failed to mount the fat32 (/sdcard) partition but was able to mount the ext partiton (/sd-ext). From what I've been reading its because it doesn't have an ext partition, but as I said when I do it then doesn't mount the non-ext partition.
I too was having similar issues and found that re-partitioning and formatting the card did the trick. Also I had a 700mb partition before which I have increased to 1gb.

Had the same problem myself.I ended up putting a stock rom on to access market place, installed rom manager which I partitioned with then ran hd rom and it worked.Only problem I have now is its stuck in a boot loop lol and not sure how to fix it but hey good luck.
Cool. Got it to work, using stigslim's method of using ROM manager had a slight issue with it saying the Rom wasn't signed but I turned off the verification then it worked fine. No boot loop.did use the wrong SD card though. *Facepalm*
thanks
Can you tell me what procedure you went through in recovery, if I follow your tracks I might get rid of the restart problem I have.cheers

what did u do ?
Exact same error as I got yesterday.. had to restore my sd card and restore to previous state. I assume there's something causing this rom to fail.

copy_dir package:system SYSTEM Trying to Install a Rom

I was flashing a few Roms, when I came to the conclustion, I want to start from scratch.. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S with clockwork recovery.. I formatted System, Data, Cache, Internal and External SD cards.. Then I took my Rom and try to install it... now I get this E:Failure at Line 2:copy_dir Package:system SYSTEM: Installation Aborted.. So right now my phone is clean as a whistle, but it is not installing the rom which I have installed previously... I have the rom on the external card but whenever I chose the option, Install Zip from SD card, then choose zip from sdcard, choose my rom, I get the following:
Finding update package...

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
I am also having this problem when trying to install a kernel. I downloaded the New CWR and flashed it through ROM Manager and I am still having the same problem. It won't flash any .zip file through CWR. I also tried wiping the cache with no result. Any advice would be helpful because I would love to try the new DL30 rom today.

[Q] Can't mount mmcblk0p2 error

Hi,
I was flashing the latest Miui gingerbread rom and accidently flashed the X-Parted data2ext version, instead of my usual d2w, Since flashing and running the d2ext rom I have been getting this error whilst trying to flash a stable rom(Miui gingerbeard not stable),
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
I have formatted ext partition manually through g-parted, deleted partition and re-partitioned formatted the entire sd card changed ext types but as yet cannot remove the problem, I have had the same issue before with Miui, but formatting solved it.
I have also tried googling this but none of the solutions match my problem nor are they particularly easy to follow.
Can any1 help??

happens, when card is not partitioned/wrongly partitioned.
If you use Gparted first create the FAT32 partition and then the EXT partition(s). And make all of the PRIMARY, not logical.

tried everything i can find related to error on sdcard, nothing seems to make any difference, and it all seems to be errors for different devices. i know im missing something probably very simple, ive tried cleaning everything and installing zip from sd, nothing seems to workand i know its not a problem with the zip, come up no matter what zip i try. is there a problem with what cwm im running ? or do i need format sd in some way thats not fat32 or some sort of sd-ext thats not ext 3?
Does the sd work when your system is booted? Have you tried to reformat it as fat 32? How's your partition table? Have you tried to mount the sd yourself? Is the fat the first partition of your sd? Is at /dev/block the mmcblk1 partition present? Have you tried creating a new goldcard?
Swyped from my Desire S
Does the sd work when your system is booted? Have you tried to reformat it as fat 32?
yeah sd works when system booted, and have tried two different sd`s one 8gb and other 2gb have tried formatting both fat 32 with nothing else present but the rom file and gapps. Ive tried different partitions 1st primary fat32 1024mb and 2nd primary ext 3 1024,
done the same for 8gb 1st fat32 7gb /2nd ext3 1gb, and also tried just one partition all fat 32 on both cards. Ive tried mounting it my self to no avail and tried a new gold card this morning.
how do i check Is at /dev/block the mmcblk1 partition present?

Ok, your sd is there (it's mmcblk0 not 1 Sry, confirmed it by looking at the mount output of my girlfriends phone, thought the partitions are named the same way as mine, but they are different).
Did you try to download the package or where did you get it from? I'm just wondering cause the name of your zip is different than the one you can download from the cyanogen thread. And it finds the package, it also tries to apply it, but aborts it cause the package is corrupted or made for a different device.

yeah i got cyanogen on it now, seems to be problem with the package i had to use the original package from the first post by alquez
[DEV] Unofficial CM7 PORT - [2.3.7 BETA 1 RELEASE]
and get the first zip : update-cm-7.1.0-BETA1-marvel-KANG-signed.zip
nothing else seemed to work, probably because i was using the nightly for desire s. cheers for ur relpy and help thnx.
sounds kinda like the problem I am having. Look at this shot.
Yeah yours is status 7 error mine was 0, make sure u wipe all cache and davlik and mount storage. Worked for me eventually.
I've done all of that. Just didn't wipe the boot in mounts and storage. I've installed other roms before but this one is giving me the cold shoulder!!!
Your flashing a saga rom which means its for desire s. You cant do that unless you want a bricked phone.
yeah think u need the new cwm recovery now that ive had a look at ur pic on pc, is the old recovery you have.
I have this problem with a Galaxy S2 T-Mobile. Newest Recovery. Except, mine says (Status 1).
sdcard error 0
I have the same error while trying to install a UOT Kitchen zip. I installed it once but can not install a new one.I've wiped cache and dalvik cache. No matter how many times I try to flash it, it keeps aborting. I'm new to this, so if someone can help me please, I would be forever greatful. I have a HTC Wildfire S.
If it worked once r u sure the zip is ok? try download it again.

yeah, I've downloaded several thinking the same thing to no avail. I've to troubleshoot it issue as much as possible. And I still can't seem to figure it out. If anybody has any other suggestions, that would be great. I've got my phone s-off, rooted with cwm as well.

quite a strange issue considering u've tried several of the same zip, have u tried a different recovery/cwm?
what does windows say if u open it with 7zip and check the archive? have u tried repacking it?
failing that post to the dev of the thread where u got uot.
best of luck im out of suggestions never used uot kitchen.
