[Q] need help with ext4 on g2

I recently gave my son my old htc g2. When i gave it to him it rooted with clock work mod. Im not sure what he downloaded but its called ext4. Now when you start the phone it just boot loops back to ext4. If anyone can help me get his phone back to running it would be greatly appreciated. is there anyway to get back to clock work mod without the phone actually booting. Ive tried every option in Ext4 and it always just bootloops to ext4. Im pulling my hair out over here cause i have no idea what to do. thanks in advance

He may have wiped out the ROM that was on the device. Download a new rom, load it on the SD card and install it. Should boot right up.
Ext4 is solid so I highly doubt that it is the issue, it is a replacement for clock work mod with more features.

ive tried that it says current rom is "what ever" but still just goes back to ext 4 ive tried multiple roms. after i apply from sd card and it says successful is there anything else i should have to do besides reboot no?

Do a full wipe before you try installing the new ROM (everything but the SDcard). If it still loops, may want to ask over on the specific 4EXT thread....there is a possibility that he flashed the wrong recovery for that device, what does it show on the screen when 4EXT is loading up? Is this the touch (uses the touch screen) or classic version (uses the trackpad)?

it uses the trackpad the ext thread is on this site?

[Q] Stuck in boot screen

Hi,
Basically what has happened is, yesterday i flashed the ROM RcMixS however i think i may have done something terrible wrong along the way. I tried to restore my previous backup however had no luck with this. I am currently restoring phone using the RUU, for the 2nd time, since tried it again and same result. Im thinking maybe this good be pointing to a bad partition on the SD card? Is there a way i can fix a bad partition without buying a new card?
Thanks

theres no such thing as a troubleshooting guide sticked on the Q&A forum and it will not help you.

Yes i have seen your guide, and it did help me the last time when i broke my phone. Thanks for the guide! But ive tried looking at your guide, but so far ive tried both boot problem sections, with no success, and the advanced boot problems to. Hence why i might be thinking that its the SD partition?

Did a full format (of everything), and tried flashing a ROM you KNOW works e.g. cm7?
The guide is there to get your phone in working order, not for specific ROM's

Ive wiped everything apart from the SD card and have tried flashing SuperNova, Gingerburst, Leedroid's and AcesMod007. All of which have ended up with the same result. So im definitely thinking its my phone or SD card which is causing the problems?
Edit: managed to fix it myself, by wiping the card on 4ext recovery then re partioning the card. Seems to have worked well

(Q) Should I reflash CWM?

Ok so here's the story. I have been using HO!NO!'s cm9 roms since the first one came out. But today i flashed the newest one (v6) and also decided I would format my SD card. Then everything started to go wrong. The phone has horrible lag, like i can do a few actions for 4 seconds and then it freezes again for 30 seconds. CWM won't show any files when I try to reflash the ROM via CWM. I have tried 2 other SD cards in the phone and the same thing happens. The lag doesn't go away either when I remove the SD card. I have CWM 5.8.2.0. I am not really sure what to do at this point. If you need any more information to help me, please ask.
Update: I factory restored the phone and I'm still having the same problems.

Can someone please help i have the same problem

Try reformatting the SD card on your pc

[Q] Flashed nitest kernel, lost SDcard, no mount in CWM or Stock FC09

So like the title says, I lost my SD card access today. I'm not blaming the nitest kernel, but it's the last thing I installed from TWRP so I'm at a loss for the cause. So far I've tried (without success):
Formatting SD card in PC
Using several different SD cards
Trying to mount in CWM and TWRP and Stock Recovery
Flash FC09 Stock from Odin
blow on it
Is there any other cause that could point to this? I didn't drop it or take a hit to it the day it happened, so i find it hard to believe the hardware just "died".

Very strange indeed. My gut says hardware failure, but I'd give this thread some time for others to read and give input.

Ok, this is really weird...
So I'm here on my freshly ODIN'd FC09 stock image, sitting still on my desk, nothing out of the ordinary.
I start installing apps remotely from the play store, and while the apps are downloading and installing I get a media scanner notification, followed by a mounted SD card.
CWM/TWRP now fully recognize the card, it seems like its seemingly back to normal.
While I'm happy it's working again, I'm no closer to actually figuring out what really happened. The physical contacts are all cleaned, and no physical deformities are seen. It seems I will be perpetually living in fear of my SD card randomly failing.
If anyone else has had this happen, I'd love to know the background on how it happened. I'm sorry to everyone else who googles this looking for a fix, it seems like I just got lucky...

Question about SD Card Issues

I've had my Inc2 since 2011 and have flashed different ROMs more than I can count.
In the last 2 weeks, I keep getting SD Card was removed messages.
I reboot and its back. I figured the SD Card was dying on me...
Since then, I've switched to a NEW SD Card and am having the same troubles, but more frequently, like everyday.
In fact it took and hour to get it to work again yesterday.
Anybody know whats going on?
I'm running the same ROM I've had for months, I've used a couple different ones over the weekend to see if that was the issue... It's not.
I've cleaned all the contacts and blown our the SD Slot.
Is she dead Jim? or am I missing something?

Have u tried using a different rom?
If u installed the original SD card incorrectly on the same rom maybe it's remembering that?

Assumed that you've already saved contents on your mSD card, wipe it clean on a PC/Mac/Linux OS (Fat or Fat32) then put it back on the DI2,
boot into recovery - wipe dalvik & cache, REFORMAT the mSD card - then boot up normally.
What Rom are you running? If above steps still do not work, try a Master Reset from the Rom before doing a Clean & Fresh Install of the Rom.
Keep a watch on error messages on the screen as you do all these & post your results, good luck !

Been Runnin Miui for the last year. No changes on phone.
SD card acts like it was pulled. Have to poweroff and remove battery to have it back.
A reboot into recovery still doesn't give me access to the card.
I've also tried different SD cards with the same results.

Anyone reading this with this problem, try returning to stock recovery and rom with the pg83.IMG(I think that's the name) and try doing a factory reset in stock recovery. My SD card works after that

This problem has gotten worse. And most of the time the SD card isn't even available in recovery either.

Yeah that's about what my problem was. Usually if you go for about a day without an SD card in, it will most likely recognize it again. If not, I could usually tap the back of the phone on a table, down near the bottom where the SD port is.
If that still doesn't work, you'll have to fastboot flash the return to stock image
My theory on this problem is that after flashing Roms/s-off and messing with stuff eventually corrupts some part of the filesystem. You might also try following the guide to unroot and s-on to see if that works, though that will be a little harder.

Flashing the ICS firmware didn't help.
Guess I'll have to try going the long way around...

Well Then...
Got the PG32IMG factory restore... that was a wash. Got everything but s-on done... and upon getting through the setup... SD Card removed unexpectedly.
So had to use ADP and FASTBOOT to get a recovery installed and back to square one.

Did you try doing a factory reset with stock recovery though?
I've read about some people with roaming problems on their HTC one, and flashing the stock recovery back and doing a factory reset fixed it.
Sooo give that a try if you haven't already
Edit: that probably sound un related but maybe after messing around with HTC devices they get mad and sabotage themselves haha. But seriously though. I messed around with the return to stock image a couple months ago, and I could get it work for a very short time, like you experienced. But just the other day I entered stock recovery mode from bootloader and it started doing a factory reset on it own. After it started up it recognized an SD card when I put it in and i then fastboot flashed a custom recovery(not cwm or twrp can't thnk of the name) then I flashed the andromadus mimicry ICS ROM that was still on the SD card and right now I've been playing music off it for about an hour and it seems to be fine
