Thanks in advance

What hboot you have now and what is the rom in question?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

I have the same problem..
I'm trying to use sebastian15's Runnymede 4.8 ROM.
Any ideas?
I flashed the CM7r2 hboot, wiped data, cache, dalvik, rebooted to recovery, flashed ROM, rebooted, now I'm stuck at HTC splash screen.

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:

Sorry i cant be specific - i'm quite new to all 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

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...

hiapk GSv1.1
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.

[Q] stuck at htc logo boot screen

hi guys i recently flash the ext3 alignment.zip from leedroid and after that i got stuck at whith screen with htc logo. when i try to boot up with my sdcard removed, its able to boot up. Also when i plug in another sd card it can boot up too normally. does it mean my sd card is the problem. because when i insert the sdcard to my card reader its able to read the card.
Its a known issue with flashing that zip. How did you partition it in the first place?
You now have to reformat the ext. Best bet, gparted.

thanks you for your advice rootSU. i will try to format my sdcard to see if that works. Just in case if it doesnt, i just have to get a new sdcard then??
Just to confirm, even if i'm on Cool3D Runnymede v3 now and used ext4 alignment tool: i got stuck too 1st time, then from Recovery i formatted all parts, wiped dalvik and reinstalled.
I guess issue was the ext4 formatting, which i skipped 1st time.
I just tried to get runnymede running and also I am stuck at the white loading screen. Do i have to format my sd card now? or just try a reinstall?
Daley026,
assuming root + S-OFF, here is what i did:
1. loaded CM7r2 HBOOT (i used Android Flasher from Windows)
2. updated Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.0 (again with AF)
3. from Recovery run the ext4 alignment tool zip
4. formatted all partitions
5. reinstalled RM v3
6. updated kernel to Gingersense dfs havc 0.8c.
Hope it'll work for ya too,
Schar

[Q] HELP Runnymede AIO Black screen

Please mention the steps u followed while installing the ROM in details?
Do u have a 512+ MB ext4 partition on ur SD card? If you have, then check whether properly partitioned ur SD card thru 4EXT recovery or something.
Ermm I was on another 3.5 sense rom so i decided to flash a different one but my ext partition was too small. i then used partition magic to format and then create a 1gb ext4 partition i then wiped everything and flashed the rom and all i got was a black screen. I wiped the sd card again and formatted it again and put the old rom back on and it didnt boot it just force closed everything so I formatted the card AGAIN and then tried the old rom and it worked. I dont know what im doing wrong ?
Partition your SD card for 1GB ext4 using GPartedLive or 4Ext recovery. You can even check the alignment and health of Fat32 and ext partitions through 4Ext.
Do a clean wipe before you install this.
Stock hboot or CM7/r2?

HTC Desire Reboot Loop

Currently Using Miui xj 2.3.2
Phone reboot loop.
Phone was working fine for 4-5 months. The reboot start to occurs yesterday when battery die. When turn on after its goes to reboot loop.
Try To Fix the Problem:
Wipes and reinstall.
Try Different Roms.
Took Sim,SD, and Battery out.
How is SD card partitionend and which version do you use? Please also provide the information from hboot.
HBoot - 0.93.001
Bravo PVT3 S-off
Radio= 5.17.05.08
Partition= 1Gb of EXT4, Rest Fat32 (8Gb)
Work fine before.
Started to reboot loop so decided to re wiped and flash again and also tried different rom. No luck.
Could be a corrupted sd card or at least the EXT part of it. What roms did you try? Did you try cyanogenmod? It doesn't need EXT partition to boot so you can try to flash that if you haven't.

Wich software did you use to partition SD card? What's your current recovery?
Can you access recovery?
This sounds like a corrupt filesystem/partition on sdcard.
- Just try to watch the logs via "adb logcat".
- re-partition your sdcard, or try rebuilding filesystem.
I tried "cyanogenmod" it's working fine. Lasted over 24 hours without reboot. I guess it something do with SD Card.
Guess i will try to re-partition the SD card or use new SD card i have at home.
BTW, what you mean by "try rebuilding filesystem."
I currently using 4EXT Recovery R5.
Edit:
Partition New SD Card (8GB)using G parted.
Fat32 - Rest
Ext4 -1GB
Then flashed Miui xJ a2sd 2.3.2. Still giving me boot loop. Boot to the lockscreen but it reboot after.
I recommend to re-partition your SD card. BUT ONLY WITH 4EXT Recvovery or GParted. Otherwise your partitons might not get correctly aligned.

Next question would be is if you gparted it properly.
via xda app
Pretty Sure I did.
First:
Primary
Fat32
Free Space: 1024MB
Second:
Primary
EXT4
1024MB
Applied at the end.
I also check the partition alignment using the 4ext recovery and it said it was fine.
Anyone know the problem or solution?
Tried if re-download of the rom helps? Otherwise, I would say it's a faulty SD card (but not sure about it).
then that would mean he has 2 faulty sd cards? the 8gb was a new one right?
