Hey Guys,
I downloaded MildWild 3.0 w/ Xperia Arc Launcher found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353861
This rom installs using my sd partition I believe, because I have a 1gb partition, and when it loaded up I had 800+ mb free.
This morning I downloaded the Cm7r2 version of Alex-V: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872464
I wiped my data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and installed that rom, but when it booted up it was MildWild again, so I did the same steps and tried again, with the same results.
I figured that there was something on the sd ext partition that was booting MildWild so I downloaded the "data2ext/whatever 387mb Hboot version" version of that same Alex-V rom.
This time it booted into a loading screen that said Android, instead of MildWild, but it just kept looping, and after leaving it for 15 minutes I just pulled the battery.
Now I decided to just wipe out my ext partition and sd card in full, so I went into the settings > storage > unmount sd card > wipe sd card
Booted into CWM, installed the Alex Cm7r2 rom again, AND IT BOOTED INTO MILDWILD! lol...
I have no idea what's going on, any info is very much appreciated.
Reflash recovery or try a different one and wipe again.
Do a full wipe.
if in 4ext....format all partitions (except SD card)
Else wipe/format system, data, cache, SD-ext.
formatting ur SD card will not wipe SD-Ext.

Thanks for your post.
I'm using CWM 4.0 and I don't see any option to wipe sd-ext, but it seems to do it when I do the wipe data / factory reset.
I can only see the 4ext remote that costs 2.50 or something in the market, is that the one you're referring to?
there is a free app 4ext recovery updater

Thanks, got it off their site ( for anyone else it's on http://4ext.net/ )
ok, so when I opened that app it just had the same options as I have in CWM, no sd-ext wipe, just factory reset/cache/dalvik and battery. When I chose all of them it asked me to boot into recovery to do them, and it just booted up CWM again lol
you need to flash 4ext recovery first via app
just confirmation are you s-off?

for 4ext: Flash the latest recovery (classic or touch) from the updater app. touch recovery is a good one to start with.
Thank you everyone for the help. I installed 4ext and flashed it ( I am s-off'd btw ) and I was able to wipe all partitions (except sd card) and it worked. I'm not sure what I was missing in CWM, because I definitely formatted the ext. As long as it works I'm happy tho, thanks again!

Your initial problem seems to be that you were not wiping /system/.
Your problem with the Alex 387MB version was that the /system/ partition was too big for your hboot.
When swapping between 2 different ROMS you always need to:
1) Check that the new ROM will fit on your hboot
2) Wipe all partitions except SD from recvovery.

i dont have htc desire( i had neo v) . but i faced the same problem once.
try wiping evrything off before installing the rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Format /system (in mounts and storage)
Format /cache
Format /Data
good luck
did you factoryreset, delete cache, dalvic and battery stats befor you flashed the rom? it sounds like you are bootlooping.
first if your using cmw or rom manager to install from get rid of that CRAP!! If your s-off on stock rom get 4ext recovery installed on phone first. Then try installing custom from with it.
1. Factory wipe
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Format partitions (except SD card)
5. Format SD card (optional for total wipe)(Only if you want full fresh install but copy everything on SD to PC so you don't lose important stuff)
6. Mount USB (should only see one folder called 4ext)
7. Move rom to SD card
8. Disconnect USB
9. Install from SD card
10. Choose zip from SD card
11. Flash
12. Reboot
All steps done from 4ext recovery so do not exit recovery till all steps are complete.

hey guys. im very new here and new to the world of andriod. took the plunge with the Supernova rom, loved it till it gave issues with freezing
found the above mentioned rom and tried it out
LOVING IT. its super fast and stable without a joke, but here are my problems:
1: unable to download and install ANYTHING from the android market. when i try it, the phone flashes to the mildwild screen as if it rebooted and then nothing, no app installed
2: unable to set the free space on my memory card to be read as phone memory (as in supernova, it allowed u to set ur ext4 partition) i have a 8gb card and it was partitioned using Gpart for the supernova installation. i just cleared the partitions and tried the same thing with this rom. it only reads 140~mb free space as phone memory.
another point to note, i tried flashing the data2sd that was used with supernova. the phone didnt boot at all and i had to reflash with the mildwild rom to get it up again
so am a bit lost. any help is greatly appreciated
no one can help at all?

1 Try a clean install.
2 MildWild does not have a built in d2sd script. use s2e from market. Do not flash the supernova d2sd.

Hello,
I'm using JB AOKP by Vj and for space needed reasons I decided to try the int2ext+ script. It works only the first time I boot the phone, on the second time it stays stucked on the boot animation.
Thanks in advance.
Did you delete the old script first?

I dont think u did. Like k3lcior said u need to delete a2sd from the rom. So on ur computer, open the rom zip and go to system/etc/init.d folder and check if theres any a2sd script there, if so delete it. Also check system/bin. Then put rom on sdcard and in recovery, full wipe, wipe dalvik then flash rom then int2ext script then reboot.

How did you partition your sd-card?
I had to primary partitions. My first is 6gb FAT32 and my second is 2gb Ext2.
I solved my problem. My solution:
1. Like mentioned above, remove a2sd from the int.d folder or how it's called
2. because it didn't reboot, I cleanded the dalvik cache with the clear dalvik cache zip by croniccorey which was made for the use with the script. you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124. it should fix the problem.
Current ROM JellyTime - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827590
Rom Manager v5.5.1.5.
Current Recovery ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0.
So I use Rom Manager to reboot into Recovery, where I wipe dalvik-cache, cache partition and data/factory reset. I then flash the zip, followed by gapps
Tried the following ROMS

When booted, I get two messages, press OK and they both continue to appear
"unfortunately system ui has stopped"
"unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"
It appears as I have only just signed up, I cannot ask the Devs direct. I have searched through threads, and can see some others with same problem - no solution though. About to try a dirty flash from Jellytime.

Ok so, CWM "Wipe Menu" :
wipe dalvik-cache
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache and cache partition
wipe battery stats
wipte data/factory reset
Try to
wipe data, cache and dalvik again
then manually (in the advanced menu if I recall correctly):
format boot
format system
<...> (everything except sdcard)
I've taken a look, and nothing relating to formatting is under Advanced.
Under Mounts and Storage Menu however, there is the following:
unmount /cache
mount /data
unmount /sdcard
mount /system
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /system
mount USB storage
Yep there.
format /cache
format /data

Seems like the gapps flashed is the wrong one.. I got the same problem as yours when i was flashing 4.2.1 rom with gapps for 4.1.2.. after that i realized and use the correct one and it boot up perfectly..

Thats weird.. if you have already format everything except sdcard, and flash the rom only, and still got the same problem, then the cause is either from the cwm,which is quite outdated, or the rom itself.. but i doubt the rom is the culprit... try use ext4 recovery or update the latest cwm.. or maybe wait for someone who have a better solution..

Thanks for the replies, sorry I was busy over the weekend.
I tried booting 4.2.x with no SD, and same error occurs.
I am not interested in trying 4EXT, CWM is a widely used custom recovery I can't see why this could be at fault? I am running the latest version, though not the "touch" version!
Can't find anyone else with this issue!
BTW - I am S-ON?
Any further help or advice on this one?
Thank you.
I would try 4ext. CWM has had some problems on thus phone in the past. Also, if you are S-ON, are you fastboot flashing the boot.img? Check the Ace Think Tank thread in the General forum for a guide on how to do that. Though usually, not doing that results in a phone that hangs at the splash screen, not one with systemui stopping...
My HTC One X stuck on "HTC One's Logo" every time I try to format it,
so I restore my backup which works fine and when I tried to format it the same thing happened.
Whenever I try formatting my device it stuck on the logo !!
Please I need your help, what should I do with this strange problem ??
- Updated on May 26 -
Everything was okay one month ago and I was able to format my device normally but know I can't
I tried almost everything:-
1. I formatted my device then installed the ROM & Boot.img (and I was sure that it will not help)
2. I formatted my device from ARHD Aroma installation
3. I restore my ARHD backup then formatted my device again from CWM Recovery
Tips: formatting from recovery don't touch system partition, I'm sure
What do you mean by format? You mean from custom recovery? Factory reset from bootloader?
Maybe because you delete everything ? And without sytem it won't boot.

If you Factory reset a custom rom, it will bootloop! Because there's nothing to boot beyond the logo!
1. Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup. Then fastboot erase cache
2. Now go to recovery wipe data/cache/dalvic and then restore the nandroid backup.
3. Reboot. Let the OS load completely.
4. Go to bootloader and then do factory reset.
If your still bootlooping, then download a nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and then restore it! It will work flawlessly!
If you post your main-version, then we can also find a RUU for you?!

Ok. start from zero.
Download again ARHD.
format sd card
Put ROM in Sd
Put this one in sd: http://d-h.st/kG0 (t.y for vin4yak for link)
Put boot.img in fastboot folder.
via cmd (i recomend to copy cmd into fastboot folder ((it automaticaly gives acces to that folder))) adb reboot-bootloader
type fastboot flash boot boot.img (fastboot must be in usb)
wait
reboot in recovery. install super wipe (link given)
clear catche, dalvik
install rom
clear catche, dalvik
And IF! it still got boot loop, go to bootloader and repeat fastboot flash boot boot.img command via cmd. It should work.
And after all, if it doesn't, do a full nandroid restore.
Good luck.
Formatting does only wipe cache and dalvic, you should still be able to boot. It does not get rid of Rom. I do it all the time when flashing a custom kernel. So maybe you should try as suggested above.
from my Viped out one x
Command: fastboot erase cache after flashing boot.IMG will fix it I guess. Looks like none of you do that but I always do that and never, I say never had a bootloop. And I switch ROMs weekly with wipes and all.
Hope it helps.

His question had nothing to do with flashing a boot.IMG, I've never not fast boot erase cache either. He was asking why when he hits the format button in recovery, his phone won't boot. Format in recovery simply wipes cache and dalvic so it should still boot, just like when you format after flashing the modules from a kernel.

O sorry for the misunderstanding.
So basicly OP asks "i took the fuel out of my car, why won`t it drive?"
Depends on wich recovery then cause in twrp a factory reset wipes not only cache and dalvik for sure!
From twrp site: A factory reset wipes data and cache (which includes dalvik cache). A factory reset will also wipe sd-ext and android_secure if your device has those items
