Help! After installing LeeDroid 3.0.7, the phone freezed on reboot

After i installed Leedroid 3.0.7, still on ClockWorkRecovery i pressed reboot, and now the phone is hanging on the "Why so serious?" screen from Alpharev by one hour now. I didnt remove the battery because in the topic says to dont remove the batery while the first boot.
What should i do? Help!!

Did you Wipe userdata before flashing?

hi,
gives few details more plz

Yes, i did wipe factory data, ext cache and dalvik cache. Then i installed Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 and then the ROM. And before all that i created the ext3 partition with rom manager, and installed the alignment-ext3.

I would partition your sd-card again following this guide:
http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/partitioning-your-sd-card-ready-for-a2sd
After this is finished, wipe all userdata (full wipe) and flash leedroid rom again.
No warranty for any damage!

Only install the alignment ext3 if you HAVE problems, it's painfully mis-documented in the official thread. Same thing happened to me. Do the following:
Format SD card, create correct partitions using gparted or Partition Manager.
Reboot into recovery by pushing Vol Down + Power, Recovery.
Wipe Cache, Data, D-cache.
Flash rom, reboot.
Don't flash the alignment patch.
Should be fine

ya..exactly..repartition the card.then just flash the rom..dont flash ext3 alignment..same prob happenend with me too..don worry!!

[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!

How big is your EXT partition? And check if your EXT partition is being used with Quick System Info or Titanium Backup.

the firt is what i get when i try to open htc browser
the second is the what i see in quick system info

As far as i have understan AD2SDX is a program that moves cache-dalvik to sd-ex and helps mobile see sd-ex as ram.Furthermore most of .apk will be install to sd-ex after flashing AD2DSX.However cache is still on mobile's ex so that is why on xda site says:"boot into recovery, clear the Cache (but NOT the Dalvik cache) and then reboot. Then try installing the Cache Cleaner app."
Unfortunatelly i did that and still nothing.
The bad things is sometimes not only htc browser won't start and shows that picture that upload but there are some other programs that is forced to cloce such as market and facebook.(Even though all the above after wipe cache(using app)i am able to download opera mobile(25mb).Opera could browse and htc browser still gave me full storage message.)
My thought are that something went wrong at installation or it is the HBOOT.But i really don't know-understant so much thats why i need help.(it's about 1-2months i learned what root and s-off is!)

The solution is simple. Do not flash the ad2sdx. If you have titanium backup, on the first page, you can check your ext storage and see what I mean.

i mean everything was the same exept the option of the rom mod
i get only one option APP2SD(if i remember well) no ADD2SDX!
if i remember right firt time i did flash the rom without flashing ADD2SD i get only the beats backround from the main screen no ring lock no menu option no nothing only main screen.(ADD2SD was not at all in sd)

Your titanium backup info shows that you are using stock hboot (250MB system, 150MB data, 40MB cache). APP2SDX requires a CM7r2 hboot. Change hboot with Alpharev and try reflashing the rom again and see if you have this problem occurring again.

I was running this ROM until a few days ago. I have a stock hboot like you but I had plenty of space using the stock a2sd that comes with the ROM, no need to install run an extra script (even if it did work with stock hboot). From memory, I had 500 or 600MB remaining for apps on my 1GB ext4 partition.
Looking at your TB screen, your ext4/a2sd partition is quite small, showing a 154MB partition (not 1.2GB) with just 978kb free - this would explain the low memory errors that you are getting. It would be worth taking another look at your partition in GParted.

You don't seem to understand. He has this problem (low a2sd) because of the x script. There is no need to change the partition. If you really want to use the xscript, change the hboot to cm7r2. But I would strongly advise you not to use it. Switch your hboot to cm7r2 and use a2sd. You will get more speed and enough app space.

I just started everything from the beggining.
1)dowload and rename PB99IMG_cm7r2 to PB99IMG
2)make the partision from the begginig(just in case)
3)i put the PB99IMG the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition and my old file clockworkmod.Clockworkmod just in case.
4)update the phone with PB99IMG(did not reboot)
5)went into recovery flashed the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition
6)reboot the system
The only strange thing is between 5 and 6 i got this message:
"Aroma installer finished…
E:Error in /sdcard/Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.3_Special.Edition.zip
(status 0)
Installation adorted."
what does it mean???Shouldn't i get:instalation finished or something like that??
The second thing i was confused is that i get opera mobile app cache cleaner and titanium backup without downloading them if i remember well the does not come with rom!!right??
P.S:1)i didn't put the AD2SDX zip file in sd-fat32 but i did get the option of it at the preferations in the rom installation(i hadn't this option before)
2)i will use for some days the rom and tell you what i get!

Can you Post the aroma log here? I suspect it's because your have not fully wipe the partitions, hence the error. And the 2 apps it's possible that it came from before you reflashed the ROM.
The reason you have the A2SDX option now is because it is supposed to be used only with CM7r2 hboot and hence because you are using it, it appears as an option.

I didn't understant what do you mean by this :"Can you Post the aroma log here?"
I make the partision from the beggining so i believe that sd-fat32 an sd-ex4 was completely empty,so there were no app in sd.
Let's talk about the phone now i did a full wipe(1)wipe data/factory reset
2)wipe cache partision(wipe cache)
3)advanced->wipe dalvik cache
So if i am not wrong no rom and no app should be neither to sd nor to phone.Right?

1) Ignore the log part, I forgot that that's optional. Basically when you install a ROM with aroma, at the end there is an option to save log so that we can see what had gone wrong if problems cropped up like yours.
2) No. What you do just ensured that your sd-ext and data partition is empty. As such you will not have any apps, but your ROM (or most of it) is still intact as the system partition is not wiped. However, Sense roms from 3.0 and above will store some files on the sd-ext partition as there isn't enough space, so when you wipe the sd-ext (factory reset), you are left with an incomplete ROM.
Edit: To write system partition go to Advanced> format system

As i saw at recovery->advance->(i have these options: )
-reboot recovery
-wipe dalvik cache
-wipe battery stats
-report error
-key test
-show log
-partision SD card
-Fix permissions
By the way options at recovery are
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partision
-install zip from sdcard
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
-power off
what should i choose??

The option should be in mounts and storage if I'm not mistaken. Sorry, all the recoveries place it at different places and I get mixed up with the locations.
So all you do is (presuming you've changed to CM7r2 and your ext partition is created)
1) Full Wipe (Factory Reset, Wipe cache, Dalvik, Format System)
2) Flash ROM
3) Flash mods (optional)
4) reboot system

Mods just means modifications to the original Rom. If you check the threads normally, other than the original rom zips, there are normally the 'addons' such as framework mods, a2sd scripts etc. which you add after flashing the Rom.

Sony apps persist after flash custom roms

Damn ... Every custom ROM I install are coming with some of Sony's app as Timescape, PlayNow, Xperia Gallery, Let's Golf and other useless. That's right, or is something wrong here? I'm giving Full Wipe and Kernel already switched several times ...

I tried to remove them by Root explorer and SystemApp Remover, but in both I can not find the apk's ...
thanks

Help me! =(

In CWM go to "mounts and storage", "format /system", "yes"
after that flash the custom rom again

And if I tell you I've done this and the app's persist? = (
Before installing at least the last 5 Rom's, I did Full Wipe, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cahe Partition, Format and Data System and some other I can't remember now ...
Just not formatted the SD Card, but I think this has nothing to do, right? Or does it?

First try deleting ".android_secure" folder in SDcard... if it doesnt work you can try deleting "SDcard/Android/data" folder but you will lose all your apps/games data too

Have you looked in data or vendor folder.
These should still be deleted if you do a full wipe.

[Q] Cyanogen mod endless boot, keeps on the blue circle...

I was setting my overclock with setcpu and it shut down my galaxy gio, and when it rebooted it just kept on the blue circle of cyanogen mod.
I already flashed stock and it would keep on something like the blue circle of cyanogen mod. I flashed cyanogenmod a couple of times too. Already partitioned my sd card again and i already wiped everything a couple of times too...
Someone help, i have readed like hundreds of posts and nothing seems to work
When i flashed stock i used a flashable cwm recovery, because odin dont detect my gio.

YOu have the right CWM (cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip)

And try again.

Cheers for reply, i cannot wipe date/factory reset nor wipe dalvik cache with any recovery.
when i try to wipe dalvik cache it just goes straight back to main menu
And when i try to wipe data it gives me the error:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
I have started my own thread as not to highjack this one but im pretty sure we have the same problem.
Thanks again

Is strange because I have the same problem and solve with CWM only ext4. Try with the rfs r something like that.
Did you make all the steps right?
I really can't help any more I'm new in this too.
And I use a Nexus 4, the Gio is the girfriend phone and I start to change something there becsause is too slow and break all the time.
Now I install there the Light Orange V7 and it's really good...

i have tried flashing stock roms+recovery then go to CWM rfs and wipe and still get same errors
did you use cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only?
Do you think its possible my /dev/block/stl13 could be physically damaged?

Yes I only use that CWM nothing more.
Maybe is damage. Becqau format he system I can do with any CWM onçy wipe the dalvik cache isn't possible.
So if you can do nothing for sure you have a hardware problema.
That happen's when your try put a custom ROM or the phone broken and after you try to solve it.
