sd card
Sounds like its most likely your SD card. Backup everything off it onto computer, then format it, get rid of all partitions for eg. App2sd just to be safe, then put update file on SD card again, full phone wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and you should be ok. Mess about with app2sd once your bit more experienced.

Are you new to flashing custom roms? the first boot can take a while fyi
do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before you flash the 3.3 rom
it must be that you didnt flash it properly, the 3.3 rom boots without problems on the hero

wipe/factory reset
wipe dalvik
wipe/factory rest
off
boot recovery
flash
reboot
setup
reboot
done!

Nope... I'm not new to flashing ROM. Almost flash to the level where I need to in an Anonymous Flash-oholics group.
I did do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before I flashed the 3.3 rom.
I also re-flashed, tryed wipeing before and after, wiped the dalvik cache before and after...
The reason I do not have a ext part on my SD is, that I do not install so many applications, that I run out of space. And the speed of the internal mem is alot faster.
For keeping my apps between flashs, I find titanium back to be the best solution.
Is a ext part need to run the 3.3? I ran almost all the other villain rom version, without a ext part.

Hey,
I also have problems installing 3.3 ROM. I have a running 3.2 VillainROM but 3.3 will just not install! I did factory/ rest wipe + Davlik wipe but stuck @ bootscreen again! I do have a ext3 (or 2) partition which I did not flash, but the installing of 3.2 worked fine so I guess its a problem with 3.3...

when i try another hboot it never works :S.
only the stock one???

I had the same issue
Did you created an SD-Ext Partition on your SD-Card? Without the Lockscreen and some other things won't work, since they are stored on SD-Ext

I have made an sd-ext partition but i still have no lockscreen! is there any workaround or solution?

I have the same issue. I first installed AceSMod007 (v34) with out creating a ext4 partition, and got a lot of low storage message. I then wiped the SD card and created the FAT32, swap and ext4 partitions. Did a factory reset from Recovery and flashed the AceSMod007 zip again. Everything seems to be working now except for the lock screen?
Did I need to wipe something else before flashing again?
EDIT:
BTW, there's no lockscreens available in the settings...

what mean the lockscreen doesn't work? Is there no lockscreen? or u can't unlock ur phone?

There's no lockscreen. When I press the power button it just show the status bar and the background image and nothing more. I can unlock by press the track button. If I go to the settings to change the lockscreen, there's none installed.

how did u created the ext partition? what recovery u using? u are using hte AceSMod stock or cm7 one?

ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.5. I booted Gparted from USB. The ext partition seems to be working. App2SD installs the apps I download to the ext partition...
Something I need to wipe before trying to flash again? (I did install AceSMod007 the first time with out a ext partition )

if the app2sd its working correctly, then is ok
but if the first time u installed it without ext partition, then some part of the rom (like the lockscreen and some minor things) was not flashed!
should be enough only to wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the rom again..
if at the next boot doesn't work, try a full wipe..wipe data/factory reset (u will lose ur settings and everything..make a nandroid just in case), cache and dalvik..and flash again..
edit: i think ur recovery is 2.5.0.7

When I select Wipe Dalvik Cache in the Recovery menu it says: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
I then press Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache.
It then says Dalvik Cache wiped.
Should I just ignore the first error?
Thanks!

Well, i think u can ignore it..I received it too in the past when wiping dalvik cache, i dont remember exactly why i was getting it..but should be ok

Tried wiping cache+dalvik. Still no luck. The wiped data/factory reset+cache+dalvik. And still no luck.
I could see that the apps I had downloaded previously were still present. Should I try wiping the SD-Ext?

I also tried deleting all partitions on the SD card and making new ones, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, flashed the ROM again, but the lock screen is still not working. And I got a message saying my apps had been reestablished...

[Q] Revolutionary - Flashed - now boot problems

Hello
I've gone through Revolutionary to free my Desire from the shackles of Orange/T Mobile and HTC's software.
Everything worked fine at first. I got the Revolutionary recovery running, then flashed Cyanogenmod 7.
Cyanogenmod 7 was great, but it kept crashign when I tried opening the Cyanogenmod Settings.
I opened recovery, wiped everything clean and tried to re-flash it again.
It reflashed, but said it did not see an SD-Ext, but went through to the boot screen....
but the boot screen just kept looping over and over.....so I repeated the options listed above and flashed the MIUI Rom and again the boot screen keeps looping.
I went back into Revolutionary Recovery and now the options keep bringing me back to a black screen showing the word Revolutionary..... but wont let me flash again.
I'm stumped and could really use some advice on what to do next.
Any help would be massively appreciated.

Another try - same problem
I went back into Revolutionary recovery and restored the backup (nandroid) and rebooted - this time it went back to Cyanogenmod 7's boot screen and the animation seems to be stuck on a loop.
- The blue android character skates over, the blue animated arrow-sircle spins around him and the Cyanogen logo - then it restarts the animation back to the skating android......again ......again....again....
Someone please help!!
Thanks

Did u flashed even the a2sd script? Did u have an ext partition?
Try a clean installation..Wipe data, cache, dalvik and under mounts and storage format also system and sd-ext(if u have the ext)...Then flash cm7, gapps and a2sd script (if u have the ext, following the instruction on cm7 thread)

I downloaded the Cyanogenmod 7 zip from the main site. As I just did as you suggested the following showed:
- wiping data -
formatting / data ...
formatting / cache ...
formatting / sd-ext ...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
formatting /sd card/android_secure...
Data wipe complete
- wiping cache -
formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
Formatting /sd-ext...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of sd/ext.
Done.
Dalvik Cache wiped.
Where do I find the sd-ext or create an app2sd partition?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

As far as I know, one cannot partition its sd card with ckockworkmod recovery. You have to do it with gparted.
After creating the ext partition, don't forget to flash the a2sd patch from cyanogenmod thread here on xda.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

The sd-ext partition is not striclty required..the rom work also with no ext..
Flash the cm zip again and the gapps, and it should boot..
later, if u need more space, u can create an sd-ext partition for app2sd...search some guide about it..even if u can simply partition ur sd card with the recovery (cwm 3.x only i think or amon ra), but u need to do a backup on ur pc of ur sdcard content, as the partitioning from the recovery will format ur sd card completely..after partioned and restored the content on ur sd card, u can flash the a2sd script on the cm 7 niglhtly thread and u are ok

Yep, it's more recommend to flash cm7 hboot instead of creating an ext partition.

I think he has used Revolutionary. It is possible to partition the SD card with Clockworkmod recovery. Even I did the same. May be you need to change the stock hboot to CM7r2 hboot partition table

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
it will explain how to make an ext partition

Thank you all for replying. I've got everything running sweet with cyanogenmod 7 and ext partition due to your help.
Big up the xda community!!!

Help flashing Cyanogenmod

So this is what I have done so far:
Rooted using unrevoked
S-off using revolutionary.io
Flashed Ra Desire recovery image (Build: RA-desire-v2.0.0)
partitioned the sd card with gparted (1GB ext4 partition, and 7GB fat32 partiton) - SD card is class 6
So, I watched this guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yurhQ5Xhi0
And when he gets to the part where he boots into recovery and wipes data, he only wipes:
Userdata
Cache
Dalvik-cache
When im in the recovery, I have following options:
- Wipe ALL userdata
- Wipe only /data
- Wipe only /sd-ext
- Wipe only /sdcard/.android_secure
- Wipe only /cache
- Wipe only Dalvik-cache
- Wipe only battery stats
- Wipe only rotate settings
This is where i get confused, do have to wipe: ALL userdata AND /cache AND Dalvik-cache? Or do i have to wipe all 8 options?
Thank you

you have a different recovery. Just select "Wipe ALL userdata" and then flash CM

All userdata is enough, this wipes everything except the rom and recovery.
wipe dalvik cache and cache if your upgrading rom and have problems, wipe all userdata when changing roms or want to restore a roms initial state.

[Q] (Q) Plenty force closes - RunnyMede AIO V 2.4

Hi!
Recently installed the RunnyMede AIO ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961
Problem is I get a lot of force closes, market, htc hub, htc likes, and so on.
Tried fix permission, still force close.
Thank you!

Make a full wipe before installing rom? Boot to recovery and wipe cache + dalvik-cache. Solves most FC-problems.

yes, factory reset/wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe before install.
When wiping cache and dalvik cache, it's fine for a while. Then suddenly there is all sorts of force close.
Any idea?

I was having heaps of force closes too, check out my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362911
so far using a2sd+ instead of XD2SDX seems to have fixed it

Okey, I will try a2sd+.
But when using a2sd+ instead of XD2SDX, i get only very little internal memory, compared to XD2SDx. Only about 12 mb.
How do I solve this?

I used XD2SDX and have had no issues at all.. I am using the ROM as my daily ROM.. that's how stable it has been!
I did the usual stuff factory reset/wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe before install.
Very strange.

kkh786 - i notice you are using cm7r2 hboot, thats probably why you are fine.
here is a link to where i read about xd2sdx working better with cm7r2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19703711&postcount=6710
going to reflash my hboot and try again, as app2sd+ isnt working very well for me either, eating up the space too quick!

Fair enough. I didn't think the HBOOT would make such an impact.

That's not a FULL wipe, because you did not wipe /system. With factory reset only /data gets wiped. I recommend to wipe everything and flash again.

Tried reflashing with alpharev, but when I get to the third step, the livecd says "waiting for flashing to complete..."
And the phone says "Normal NAND detected. Non-PTV4".
And it just freezes there.

Do you think I can cancel the flash, without bricking the phone?

how do I wipe/system?

In recovery, should be in the menu where you wipe /data, cache, etc.

There it is.

everything is still working fantastic for me since flashing cm7r2 hboot.
I flashed mine by just putting the zip file on my sdcard and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip as I had already s-off'd my hboot previously.
when i was trying out the stock hboot roms I always did a full format of
/boot
/cache
/data
/system
/sd-ext
and dalvik cache

I also flashed cm7 r2 hboot, and now all is working fine, excellent!
