What version of AlphaRev are you running. Some of them have a partition size too small for some of the larger roms so when you try to install them only have gets installed and the phone won't boot.
Either use a partition table with a larger system partition or a smaller rom or open the rom and delete some of the apps you don't want.

They did not flash a different hboot, only the s-off procedure. And this does not change the partition sizes.

I went to alpharev.nl and did the standard burn to disc and boot from CD procedure, so 1.8 I think?
Would going to Clockwork Mod and creating a 1GB partition w/ 0 swap memory resolve this?

From reading the first post of the ROM you're trying to install your SDcard should be all FAT32 with no EXT partition.

I formatted the microsd card to FAT32 using Windows, didn't create any partitions (seeing as the rom author said it's not needed) flashed the ROM via CWM but it still hangs at the screen. Even after removing some system apps manually, I cut the size down by 10meg near enough.
I simply don't understand what could be wrong here...

I've sorted it now - wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalv cache, create a ext3 partition of 1gb (all done through CWM) and then flashed. It works great, only pickle I have with it is I can't hear anything, but the call connects perfectly. It's the radio so I'm gonna go search around for it, god I hate being a noob

Was in the same situation, will pass very fast.

I had the same problem.
This is what I did:
1) Boot in ubuntu (u can burn a CD, boot from the CD and try it out - not necessary to install) or you can burn GParted Live CD
2) partition your SD card whit GParted
3) mount your partitions
4) boot in windows and format again your SD card
5) copy the ROM that you want to install on the SD card
6) boot your device in recovery, install the ROM, reboot and your done
Hope this help you out.

Were you able to fix your no sound issue? I have the same problem but speakerphone works, I was hoping its not hardware on my end

newbie problem?

Hi
Playing around with my rooted htc deisire i tried to flash the new RcMic HBOOT
After doing god knows what
i cant start my phone and keep having this message
Error in CACHE: recovery/log (No space left on device)
please help

Give us more information what you did before.
Did you full wipe/factory reset & wipe cache? What partitions do you have on SD Card, are you S-OFF?

yes
i am s-off
i did wipe cache/wipe factory reset
i tried to restore to my lee droid 2.4 but my phone keeps looping from the start

What partitions do you have on SD Card, which HBOOT you are using, which version of the ROM you flashed?

i flashed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
i have no partition
hboot 6-93.1002

Did you read first post?
It clearly says you need 1GB+ EXT2/3/4 partition on SD card. Thats why you getting errors and end up with bootloop.
Also if you have Stock HBOOT be sure to flash A2SD+ version, and CM7 version if you flashed CM7 HBOOT partition table.
Before flashing again be sure to perform Full Wipe/Factory reset and Cache wipe!

I cannot find rcmixs hboot. Only recommend one for this rom, which is cm7. You flashed this one? If, you cannot restore leedroid rom, because the /system partition of cm7 hboot is to small. If not, wright partition sizes of your hboot here.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

sorry guys cant really follow
what you are suggesting?
right now i cant flash anything

Reformat your SD Card, make FAT32 partition + 1GB EXT4 partition. (backup data if you have important files on SD)
Full wipe/Factory reset + Cache wipe.
Download RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip if you have Stock HBOOT or RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD_CM7Hboot.zip if you flashed CM7 HBOOT earlier and put it on SD Card.
Flash it, and wait... it takes a bit longer on first boot!
Enjoy.

if i dont want to flash rcmix and want to go back to my old lee droid rom, i have to do all these things you describe?

Yes you need, but just flash LeeDroid ROM instead of RcMix.
You need to do the rest tho because LeeDroid require 512MB+ EXT2/3/4 partition too for A2SD.
Btw. you need to repartition your SD card only once, then you just wipe and flash other ROM if you want, but EXT partition is mandatory!

repartitioning using which method?
g parted or through windows?
sorry for all the questions

GParted. With windows you cannot create an ext partition, because ext is a linux file system. But i would always use gparted or recovery of phone to partition sd card and never windows.

If U dont wanna use Gparted, then
use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" in windows. (freeware-use google)
Can make all partitions, with no problems!

thanks very much guys
just finished
everything as before
followed your direction and i am back to business

Will this work for partitioning htc desire in windows. Tried Gparted but for some reason it wasn't working for me on boot.

Stuck at restoring sd-ext after flashing CM7 Nightly

Hello,
I wanted to try CM7 nightly.
I had rooted stock rom 2.29.405.5 with a2sd+ from this thread.
Before flashing cm7 nightly 225 I wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache partition.
Flashed rom and booted normaly.
After that I wanted to restore my nandroid backup..
I wiped cache and data/factory reset.
Then I got an error while restoring /sd-ext!
Tried again by doing the same and wiping dalvik cache.
When the process reached the point when it restores the sd-ext the progress bar got stuck.
(s-off and clockworkmod recovery (CM v.5)
After that I removed the battery and powered the device.
All my apps are not there. Not even the superuser app.
Please what can I do?

I'm having the same issue with my nexus one. any ideas?

What happens if you use advanced restore and restore the,sd ext on its own?
You may need to reformat your ext
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

The recovery would freeze
After a lot of retries I gave up trying to restore it.
I came to the conclusion the sd got corrupted. (Transcend 8GB class 6)
After that a lot of "bad" things happened, such as couldn't mount sd card, had to reflash partition table and a randomly occured USB brick...hopefully with the help of a friend we(mostly he) managed to fix it..I am at a stock rooted rom with s-off now and want to buy a new sd card..
Is there any way to verify that my old microSD has really been corrupted?
I have continued (kind of) the thread here!
With more info and questions.
Thank you for your reply!

I have exact the same problem, but the disadvantage that I can not install any Rom as it freezes when installing. So I'm not able to start the phone as it sticks on "quietly brilliant" screen.
What I have:
- Amoled grooted
- S-OFF mit Alpharev CM7 r2
- HBoot 0.93.1000
- Recovery: CWM 5.0.2.6
- Last Rom: Runny Mede v3
What I tried:
- Restore Nandroid: Freezes on restoring SDEXT (after factory and dalvik wipe)
- Install ROM: Freezes at writing SDEXT or says that it finished but the bar sticks
- Format SD Card, deleted EXT4 partition and remade it with Gparted. Checked it with windows chkdsk and Gparted and it gave me no errors
- Rewrote the partition table to CM7 r2 with a PB99img.zip
- Made a EXT4 partition with CWM
- Changed the SD card with another one (always making a EXT4 partition and formatted in FAT32)
I don't know what else I should do. Please help restoring my Desire!
Could it be a issue of the CWM? As I can not go back to another one, because Fastboot flash doesn't work, I can not test it by myself!

What do you mean fastboot flash doesn't work? Tell me everything

In Fastboot menu I can choose only from Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down. I don't have anything else to choose from.

Thats not how fastboot works. Read the adb and fastboot faq in my signature (ignore all adb things, and start at "what is fastboot?")

oh ok, seen it. So I'm gonna try Android Flasher to flash recovery.
To sort out recorvery as source of the issues, which one should I flash? Which one is the most stable?

Personally I am a cwm 2.5.0.7 man.

Got it running again!
Flashed the CWM 5.0.2.0 and everything worked fine again.
It seems that the Clockwork mod 5.0.2.6.111007 of zyonee has a problem with SD-EXT (so it was on mine, don't know if it works on other devices too).

I have the same problem..
I'm trying to use sebastian15's Runnymede 4.8 ROM.
Any ideas?

I guess you should partition your SD card: the most common is 1gb ext, rest is fat.

I already did that using gparted. 1gb ext4 and rest fat32

Set both partitions primary? Created first FAT and then EXT partition?
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App

ya both are Set primary partitions . I have created the fat partition first and then ext 4.

Same here guys,
CM7r2, 1GB EXT4, 7GBFAT32. Used Aurora 0.41, decided to change to insertacoin as aurora wasn't very stable and looked like partition wasn't working correctly. Pus, EXT4 partition is gone aswell
My sd card isnt readable on Recovery either (recognisable on pc though).
I've tried fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 - Still nothing. Card gives "unable to mount" message. Been at this for 8 hours now....
BUT, when i insert different sd card - seems fine...

OHHHHHH,
Finally looks like i'm all working.
I had to use my spare sd card to load Oxygen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971904
This enabled me to reformat my sd card (that was unrecognisable previously) on my phone - after rebooting the phone twice to recognise the card ( mounting and dismounting).
Card is now back to full capacity of 8GB. I've applied EXT4 1GB again, loaded Insertcoin and it's all GOOD!!!!
In terms of faulty EXT4 - performing fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 seemed to erase all the partitions and bring the card to factory state.
Hope some of you will find it useful.
Good luck to yall and MASSIVE thanks to those posting advice on this forum!!!

The case of vidrom is not the same as mine. see the first post it state clearly that i can't flash rom with cm7 or cm7r2 hboot. nothing to do with card can't recognise. I'm still searching for a solution.

Hey rajesh1108,
Have you tried flashing with Android Flasher ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
I found it to be the easiest way to getting around flashing.
I was once stuck with at boot load and basically redid everything from the beginning using a different guide. Try following this:

GOOD LUCK!

What rom are you trying to flash?
@vidrom:
Excuse me, but how should your post help the OP?

I solved my problem! Updated my recovery to a new version of Clockwork using ROM Manager.

i'm trying to flash runnymede 4.8.
Yorba which version of recovery are u using. how did u proceed. updated recovery and then flash hboot(cm7r2) and then flash your rom?

I would flash Hboot, recovery and then rom. Are you sure you wiped everything? Created an ext4 partition with at least 512 MB?

ya i have flash the same way you have mention and my ext 4 is 1gb

Cannot install any ICS or JB ROM on my EVO 4G

I can install any GB ROM and it works fine. I'm running Amon RA recovery. Whenever I flash any ROM that is ICS or above it won't boot. It just boot loops after the initial white "HTC EVO 4G" screen. I've let it sit for over 1/2 hour at times to see if it would finish booting and it just boot loops.
I've done all the proper wiping before and tried multiple combinations of wiping before and wiping caches after flashing. Here's my typical wipe process
4x wipe userdata
4x wipe cache
4x wipe system
4x wipe dalvik cache
flash cm10
4x wipe cache
4x wipe dalvik cache
install gapps
4x wipe cache
4x wipe dalvik cahce
reboot
I know thats a little excessive for wiping but I've had the most success with this process on many android devices. However, I've even tried wiping more and wiping less before and after flashing with no success on this phone. Here is my hboot info:

did you make sure and partition your sdcard to either ext3 or ext4?? i believe that it is required...

Your sdcard needs to have an sd-ext partition formatted with either an ext3 or ext4 file system in order to install an Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean ROM. You can read an explanation of sdcard partitioning at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158993. Before you partition your sdcard, do not forget to copy the entire contents of the sdcard to an empty folder on your computer first since partitioning will destroy all data on the sdcard! I recommend either a 512 MB extended partition (sd-ext) for 8GB sdcard or 1024 MB extended partition for 32 GB sdcard and formatting the sd-ext partition with the ext3 file system as this configuration will work with Gingerbread as well as ICS and JellyBean ROMs. Once you have partitioned and formatted the sdcard, copy the original contents of the sdcard from your computer to the newly formatted sdcard.

Have you created an extended partition? Your sdcard should have two partitions for either Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean ROMs -- a primary partition formatted as FAT32 for file storage and an extended partition (sd-ext) formatted as EXT3 (or EXT4) to allow the operating system to utilize as additional internal memory. Although some Gingerbread ROMs are able to utliize an extended partition formatted as EXT3, Gingerbread ROMs do not require an sd-ext partition to function since they use less of the EVO's internal memory.
Also be sure that you wipe the sd-ext partition before flashing a new ROM.

After you flash the ROM don't wipe anything see if that works

I had trouble too until i figured out that the problem was my sd card. I didn't know squat about ext 2, 3, or 4 but I did my homework and downloaded a free program called Mini tool partition wizard. I just made 6GB the primary FAT32 amd 10GB primary ext4. Then the ICS and Jellybean loaded with no problems. I'm new at this but if I can help in any way let me know. Here is the link for the software. You shouldn't have any problems. You can also look on YouTube for videos for just about any of these problems.

on amon RA recovery you can partition the sdcard and upgrade it to ext3 then to ext 4 without need of external programs

I have Smelkus. It's awesome. Lots of extra tools to use in an emergency. I got it from goo. It's based on the RA with some custom graphics and a few very useful tools. However, I prefer to wipe my SD card with Mini Partition Wizard. I can do that while I'm organizing my downloads. I just learned a new trick though. Sometimes hidden script can be a beast to remove. I downloaded Gparted and burned it to a disk. The drawback is that it has to be ran from the bios on your computer. It's not real convenient. The awesome part is that it rips the script right off, unlike anything else I've tried. I had a third partition with some hidden script that was "stealing" my data connection and WiFi. It took me a minute to figure it out by testing the same ROM downloads on different SD cards. Anyways...Gparted is a valuable tool for SD card issues. It wiped everything; hidden script and hidden partitions. Good stuff. Google Gparted to find the download.
