Reboot starburstrom - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've installed the starburst rom on my desire and, once in a while, it reboot spontaneously by itself. It did this with the 1.2.0 and the old data2sd, I wiped and flashed the 1.3.0 with the new data2sd script and it kept doing it, then the same problem even wiping again and flashing the 1.3.2. I'm using a 8 gb SD with a little less than 2gb ext4 partition and the rest a primary fat32, done from Linux. Any idea?

have you flashed a custom kernel?
i use starburst since 1.20 and never had problems like this....
you are also sure you did the installation right?
remember at reboot to do nothing except of entering the pin

No, I'm not using a custom kernel and yes, I did the installation right. Wipe->flash the rom->reboot, select the language->reboot in recovery->installed data2sd script
Beside this problem the rom is working fine, it's fast, tested with quadrant I got a 1970 score. This thing is seriously pissing me off...

I am using the latest version 1.3.2 and do not have any problems. You mention your partitions in the wrong order, is your fat 32 partition first?

Yes, the primary partition is fat32.
Besides this reboot problem sometimes the phone tell me "The process com.htc.gbc (or something like that) has stopped working". What does this mean? Are these two issues connected?

The processes's name is com.htc.bgp

[Q] DT ApptoSD Question

So I followed the directions perfectly for installing DarkTremor's App2SD, installed my ROM, and when I started installing apps, they were installing to the phone memory instead of on the SD. Did I miss something?? When I mount the disk on my computer, and check properties, I find no partitions.
Did you partition the sdcard or just flash dta2sd?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I did the partitioning like it said in the instructions, chose 1024 MB for my partition and 32 MB for my swap file, then did the upgrade from ext 2 to ext 3...then I flashed the program, then installed the ROM, kernel and restarting and started installing apps, but they were installing to the internal mem, not the SD card. I couldn't see the partition in TIbackup either. I'm trying again now from scratch.
Go into terminal emulater and type
su then hit enter then type
a2sd reinstall hit enter again
This should move all your apps to the partition for more commands you can use
su
a2sd help
That will give you a list of commands you can run with dta2sd.

Also you can look in titanium backup and it should show you your partition space and how much is being used.

What ROM are you on and what version of dt did you flash the stable or beta4?
I've had problems like that on aosp ROMs running the dta2sd beta4 so I've switched to the stable version.

I tried the A2SD reinstall command in TE, and got permission denied on every single line. I'm running SnS 1.6, and I flashed the beta 4. I'm now not quite sure that my ROM officially supports A2SD, but the apps are moving to the SD, and run w/o a problem.

Make sure to type "su" before you run any command to allow it super user permission.
You could also try the stable version of dta2sd.

Sorry, new to this A2SD thing....wasn't typing su....did the reinstall, and the phone rebooted. Got about 3/4 of the widgets to load properly this time, but not all still. Wallpaper didn't revert to stock though, so we must be making some kind of progress. A2SD check in TE says everything is fine.

the only thing I can think of for the widgets not showing is they might have been moved to android-secure and not to your partition .

[Q] Bootloop with Alex-V 1.8 (387mb hboot)

I have problems with the Alex-V 1.8 Hybrid-Sense Rom:
I prefer the 387mb hboot-version, but where I can get the hboot-image?
Which partitions should I take for the data2ext? Im the original post is fat+ext4+ext4+swap, but when I'm installing the rom, it shows me that I need fat+ext4+ext3

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
for partitioning use Gparted. alternatively use 4ext recovery.
I'm using gparted , i mean do i need fat+ext4+ext4+swap or fat+ext4+ext3 or somthing other
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You need FAT32 (rest) + EXT4 (size 1 - 2 GB; I recommend 1,5 GB). Did not look it up, but this partition worked for every ROM I used since now (even a DATA2EXT one).
I always use 4ext recovery. gives the option of ext 3/4 and 1st, 2nd and swap partitions
Thanks for your answers!!! The problem was, that /system was too small, so i deleted a few ringtones, now it is working !!!!!

Need help finding ROM for wfs marvelc that's stable

I've been looking for a ROM for this phone and I've used some of the best. Like cm9, wild child etc but every Rom has major issues like data or mms. So I just need a custom Rom that's stable.

I would try WildChild 3.3 DeOdex, i have been using it as a daily driver and have found very few problems. As for the mms if you use GoSms or even better GoChat i can send and receive anything. Backup and do all your wipes, now is not a bad time to partition your card, I have a 4gb card I partitioned in CWM I chose IM 1024, next 0M, now go to mounts and storage put the files on your SD card, flash the WC 3.3 deodexed, then flash the Virgin Mobile patch for HenseMod, yes even if your not Virgin Mobile, reboot and see if all works, mine did not the first couple times, it boot looped a couple times, I reflashed the ROM and Patch, for good measure I made sure to wipe again and it works like a charm. After that I rebooted back into recovery and ran the Data2SD script, it gave me 2.7gb on SD card and 915mb on Internal memory. I Benchmarked at 2069, so its pretty snappy.

How did you partition? And have you tried to go to CWM and under the advanced tab try to format everything and then try to partition again. If that don't work I would try and use a card reader and run some sort of disc utility and see if the card is corrupt.
I did it with cwm first then I was unsure about the mount so I mounted as disk drive and used mini partition wizard thingy. And just did it again. To be sure. But make sure you back up on cpu

[Q] Need a stable ROM to replace stock for wife's wildfire S

Hi all,
Sorry - I know you get a lot of "which is best" but I've been going around in circles looking at all the different ROMS
My needs:
Wifeys's phone keeps running out of memory.... the old story
want to replace the std ROM with one excluding bloatware
want to use apps2SD to make best use of limited space
Need a Stable ROM not the latest and greatest, just a fast stable ROM (Android version doesn't matter - she'll be using it for photos, mail, txt and facebook)
Don't want to be updating it in future - just one stable ROM to put on and forget.
Please could you offer suggestions
Many thanks in advance

I am in the exact same situation but I do have the marvelc (MetroPCS). I have tried MESSYSENSE and insink71's ROM but don't know enough to disable the A2SD scripts on my own. I have the bootloader unlocked, but S-ON; installed clockworkmod recovery, and upgraded to hboot 1.10.
I have a 4GB sdcard which I want to partition in 3GB FAT32 and have 1GB internal memory.
My wife wants me to spend $100+ in one of the newer phones but for what she uses the phone for the Wildfire S with 1GB internal memory would really make her happy and save me some dough! So I guess a stock ROM with init.d and rooted should do the trick once I run CRONMod INT2EXT+
Help please!

Doing it now, it's stuck in the first HTC screen, the one that displays HTC in bright green, before it goes into the the softer green font and displays the carrier. That's where it takes a long time or on the one after?
518MB primary partition formatted in EXT3, about 3.2GB in FAT32, primary and first partition. Installed your ROM after full wipe, ran the script and formated sd-ext like it says. Boot loop, after the MetroPCS logo it reboots back into the HTC quietly brilliant splash screen. What the heck could be happening???? I'm S-ON but unlocked. Could that be it?
I can confirm it's the script because I flashed only your ROM and the phone booted OK. Will try running the script again after 1 boot to see if that works. The only thing left to try is that the OP of CRON's thread says that some phones have problems and to mount /system before flashing the scripts.
No luck, boot loop. One thing that I don't understand is why doesn't is why programs like Link2SD cannot see my sd-ext partition. Could that be it?

MW9.5 is very stable. How did you partition your SD card? Suggest you to wipe everything, re-partition if needed and flash. Everything should be working just fine.
Alternatively, you can try other MW ROMs like the one based on CM or oxygen. They're working perfectly too.

can you link it cant find in search or full name
You are probably low on space because you are still on stock hboot.
Nandroid backup and change hboot using fastbout commands, search for guides. There are custom hboots posted in that thread if your search. Or just use something like cm7r2 hboot.
512mb is also quite small, you can use at least 1gb.
Check everything is working by installing another app like diskusage to browse all your partitions.

I meant the ROM that you are running is stable, so its likely a problem on your end. Try doing a full wipe and reinstall it.
