Ext Rom does not load...

I have searched the forum,but my problem is a little weired,after upgrading my madio and ce rom image load properly but my extension rom does not,ie the autorun gives me a msg saying "customize in 3 sec" but after that nothing happens,tried a hard reset and reflashing(also from the sd card ) but no luck Could anyone pl help me out in this??

You need to go to wiki and read about the ext rom in the kitchen.
Here you will get a better understanding of what it does, how it works, be able to open it and be able to see if you have anything in it.
Try that first then come back with a tad more info.

Someone please guide me........please

Instead of bumping your thread have you tried looking at the thread of the chef released rom for your phone as you might realise that others have same issue with the rom or not. I did a quick search of forums and i managed to find the answers within seconds.
We cant support your rom as we dont know what you are using / version and questions regarding that rom need to be posted in the correct forum thread

Sorry M8...But i am really confused with several ROM's and Methods listed here...
I will follow your instructions in future....Sorry Again....

Different roms work differently and you really need to try one, then ask about it in the chefs rom thread and if you dont like try another. Swapping roms and trying to use the same instructions on each may not work so you are only confusing yourself.

A2SD is indeed moving apps to the external memory. A lot of custom roms have it. It requires an EXT partition on your memorycard, an easy way to do that is to get rom manager from market

Thread moved to Q&A.

judging by your post, you have already rooted your phone
here's an example how to do it with Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM v1.0c, which has built in old A2SD. I think it should work
- backup apps and system data with Titanium Backup Donate
- copy sd card content to pc in disk drive mode (by doing this, you will also copy your backups)
- download rom, radio and put them in root folder of your sd card
- you need to have some sort of recovery (whether it's update.zip in root, or permanent recovery - it's your choice)
- say a little prayer
- enter hboot -> recovery
- wipe all alvailable options (it depends on your current settings): data, cache, davlik cache, ext
- flash radio, it will ask for you to reboot from recovery, do it, it will restart few times, don't interrupt process of instalation.
- flash rom
-after you finish it, don't reboot, instead partition sd card using standard options: swap 0, ext2 512, fat32 rest, sd: ext2 to ext3 (this will format and partition your sd card, you will loose it's content
- reboot your phone, it will last longer than usual
- copy your sd card content from pc back to sd
- install titanium backup donate and restore system data and apps, it should force apps you previously had installed to sd
- reboot phone to finish restore
- install quick system info and check if your A2SD storage is partialy filled with data
-you should have your current apps and settings with A2SD enabled

Finally did it today with ROM manager huh......
Thanking all for support...

[Q]HELP! My Desire got into restarl loop and can't restore

Hi guys,
I've just partitioned my SD CARD through ROM Manager. Partition of 512MB and 0MB of SWAP.
After that I turned on the Desire and Went to the rom manager and tried to Flash a ROM. - this went unsuccesfully because the ROM Manager could see my SD Card.
So, in the ROM MANAGER I pressed the thing that gets you into the recovery mode, and there when i was trying to flash the room, if could see the sd-card again.
I tryied to restore, but it said that it has nothing to restore(first of all i've just backed up before starting, and even before that I had tons of backups).
I gave up the restore and restarted my phone, which also went unsuccesfully.
I've got into a restart loop where the phone turnes up till the opening page, has a little time of black screen, and than again-opening screen.
PLEASE HELP ME. ANYONE???
EDIT: I have just connected the SD CARD to the computer through a card reader, and he is almost empty! It has only 2 folders: .android_secure, .footprints, Android, LOST.DIR
what should I do?!
Maybe some1 can upload here all his SDCARD content and by that i'll copy it into my, and maybe it will work again
EDIT #2: NOW I'CANT ENTER THE RECOVERY MOD AT ALL!!!
it just stuckes on the with screen showing the HTC sign.

A partition will delete the contents of a sd card you should of backed up you nandroid first.... go to recovery mode by holding vol down and pressing the power button while the device is off, and choose recovery from the menu, clear the dalvik cache and see if your device will boot

I pressed the"wipe dlavik chache" and nothing happend..
and now i can't enter the recovery mode at all. great.....

Sorry for the ignorance, but what RUU is?, I really didnt get your post

Before rooting it's advised to check the original ROM running on your phone and get a copy of that RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) so you can always revert back to stock if things go wrong. I assume you don't know what your phone originally came on?

Unfortunately you are write.
So.. is there something for me to do?

check this link with all the official RUUs and download one that is from your region or download the generic World wide english one (WWE)
its a utility that runs on windows and installs a fresh official ROM on your device

dude and where is the link?
*During the RUU installation it says to turn on my phone and do several things...
I CANT TURN ON MY PHONE!

Try.
Try reformatting your sd card in windows first?
If you have ubuntu, you could use gparted to format it.
Or use another sd card.
Since you can access your sd card, download clockworkmod and the necessary files needed to root your phone, including a new rom. (I don't know how its like on windows as i use a mac so...)
Start the rooting process again using unrevoked. See if it starts up your phone.
If you can, flash the new rom.
Hopefully everything will work out.
P.S. What rom were you using before this happened and what version of rom manager were you using? Perhaps this might help other people.

First of all, I was using the newest version of ROM Manager and an Israeli ROM based on the LEEDROID.
but it all relays to the past, i got my phone back on track!!!
I found an old folder on my computer which included all my SDCARD content(I rememberd that i've backed up it on the pc once), so i copied everything to the SD, and than it let me into the recovery mod, and i had an old Nandroid backup.
EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW, THANKS EVERYBODY FOR TRYING!

Sorry, but...
Is there any way for me (I have registered only for this purpose, otherwise I'm a pretty read only guy and mostly finding the answers otherwise) to post a question about the installation failure of this ROM?
I use 4EXT recovery, done a full wipe (have been using many versions on this and my previous devices so not a completely noob user I guess ), and installer appears to be finishing successfully - but then in the log there are two lines showing it wasn't successful after all:
"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 at /data: Device or resource busy"
and
"error: file_write: write: I/O error
Installer Error (Status 1)"
Now what can the cause be?
Oh, I forgot: have checked the md5sum and was correct (I mean throughout recovery on the SD after the zip was copied to the SD...
Again: sorry but not allowed to post at the ROM's thread...

Theres a known bug in the aroma script. Youll have to select "perform a full wipe" in aroma and not tick the reboot checkbox that shows up when flashing is done. Then all should be fine
Script will be fixed in future releases. Sorry for the inconvenience

btw.
I have and also others guys problem with "metalic" sound during the conversation, sound is strange comparison for stock rom and ICS AOKP 8.5.
Radio : 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Anyway I have to say again very very good job with this ROOM

in my dhd,music and gallery work well so i think that maybe your sd card need formated.
the same thing is that fm doesn't work,it's universal.

How to flash rom?
Can you guys include some basic steps on how to flash this rom?
My DHD is currently on the Revolution HD rom.

its real easy all you have to do is place the rom on your sdcard, coming from another rom I would do a full wipe you can use ARHD superwipe and then flash the rom in recovery.

I'm assuming you know how to get in recovery.
Full wipe:
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions (except sd card).
If you want to go that extra mile, check the md5 checksum to see if it matches right after downloading, before wiping. Do the full wipe, then go wherever you downloaded the rom, flash it. First boot with all roms, is on averqge 5 minutes. If you reach 10 minutes, then something went wrong. Make sure you make a backup of your rom in case anything wrong happens.
Edit: with this rom and only this one - and only this version since it will probably get fixed in the next one, when you are in aroma installer, choose the full wipe. When it prompts you to reboot, say no, and reboot manually. Do not download from dev host. Use one of the mirrors.
Sent from a dream.

So basically when installing this ROM (as of now) to make sure it succeeds all should select to
- wipe throughout the Aroma installer
- select NO to reboot from within the Aroma installer.
Otherwise it doesn't really matter whether you use CWM or 4EXT or any other (Aroma-capable) recovery...
Another issue:
After half a day of awesomeness I ran into the "try to send an SMS and lose your data network" problem described earlier in the original topic the following way (originally Posted by yankee_pr):
"hello!
when sending or receiving mms my data disconnects and signal drops completely to nothing at all then back up to full bars until data connects then back to nothing and so on. this goes on for about a minute. I'm not able to send or receive. when receiving i just get a message trying to download the attachment."
After rebooting or erasing the root_of_cause MMS that I wanted to be sent I went to check APN settings,and figured it wasn't the correct one (for the internet not for the MMS!!!). I have changed it back to the good ones, rebooted and voila.
To be honest I have no clue if the settings were correct beforehand (since installation until it went wrong) so if anyone could check this the community would really appreciate I guess
So 2do:
1. check internet APN settings while it's workin'.
2. Try to send an MMS (like a picture to someone via messages)
3 Wonder why no mobile net connection is available
4. Check if the APN settings are the same or have changed throughout the process
Sorry again but I can post issues here only about this ROM :-o

2. Use the search function on your PC and search your SD card for ".nomedia"

NEED HELP! Cant/Denied access internal/emulated storage

i wanted to install new stock rom from here but fastboot wont install it so i went to twrp and tried to flash it from there but during flashing twrp just rebooted itself and saying installation wasnt sucessful, i figured this is due to S-On but prior to flashing it i did possibly the stupidest thing, i went to ADVANCED WIPE and wiped every option on the list(dalvik,system,data,internal storage,cache) except for micro sdcard ofcourse. i then went to FIX PERMISSIONS and stupidly select the ALSO FIX SELINUX CONTEXTS. when those done i then went and install another image which is on the sdcard that i downloaded from here E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip . the installation went well and rebooted itself and got to the homescreen and whatnot. but the troubles came when i tried to install apps from playstore and it gave me all kind of errors known to man, even going into file manager to access the internal storage gave me problem it says something along ACCESS IS DENIED or CANT ACESSS EMULATED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. when i opened chrome to download something the browser just crashed because apparently it wont able to access the emulated storage. yeah i fcked up badly here. dont know whatelse to do.
see below of the files that i currently have in my external microsd card:
E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip -WORKS
open gapps arm64 android 5.0 stock
RUU 0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.7 07.2 - DONT WORK
0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.7 07.2 - DONT WORK
Thanks!
