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?

Hi, i am trying to install app2sd using the Nimbu guide found here : http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
However, when i follow that guide and start to flash from the sd card, i get this error:
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[
E:Failure at line5:
symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[
The card i am using to flash the app2sd is NOT partitioned. Is this an issue?
Here is some other info on my phone
- i have an orange phone, but i reflashed to the 1.21.... generic rom
- After installing this rom, i flashed the radio back to this one: update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
If you need any more info let me know and thanks for your help
ok, just to update this...
i have now managed to install app2sd by reinstalling rootedupdate.zip
HOWEVER, now when i turn my phone on it just goes to the white HTC screen and hangs there, it doesnt ever boot up. Can anyone shed any light as to why its doing this and how i can fix it?
i have partitioned the SD card and did install it with a goldcard
in the mean time im gonna flash back to a non app2sd rom
anyone know why it might be doing this? it just hangs on the white htc splash screen straight after powering on

If you are stuck in a boot loop, then like you suggested, it's most likely because you have not partitioned the SD Card.
You only need to create a Gold Card if your phone is software branded and is running a non-generic rom.
but ive rebooted the phone with a partitioned SD card and that doesnt work...Does the card i install App2sd need to be partioned?

You replace the Gold Card sd card with your normal sd card. Then in recovery, you need to partition your SD card, this is for the benefit of allocating extra space with the ext partition, which is used specifically for the installation of App data.
That's why it is recommened to set a 0MB swap, ext2 with 512MB (for apps), and the rest of the partition to FAT32.
Make sure you wipe Factory Reset, Dalvik, Cache, SD:EXT and then flash the ROM. After you have done this and while you are still in recovery (don't reboot phone yet), install Apps2SD zip (only if you are installing a ROM that does not include Apps2SD). Power off phone and then insert your sd card into the phone (not the Gold Card). You then enter Recovery Mode again and partition the SD card accordingly.
ok, but im not sure your understanding (i might be wrong...)
I have 2 sd cards....1 which is a gold card which is NOT partitioned and contains the install file for app2sd
and 1 which is the sdcard i run in my phone under normal operation.
I am ONLY using the non partitioned card to install app2sd. As soon as it is installed i remove this card and insert the Partitioned card
Does this make sense? So i know that a partioned sd card Must be used when running the phone with apps2sd, but do i need a Partioned goldcard just to install it? i can i just use a standard goldcard for the installation (and then put in the partioned card after installation) (note...i am using a goldcard as i have an orange uk desire with a generic rom)
Ah yes i understand you now. Yep, the Gold Card should not be partitioned, only formatted as FAT32. After you have used the Gold Card to install Apps2SD, you then insert the other SD card and partition using that.

ok, so that is how i had it, with the partioned sdcard, but i am still getting the white htc splash screen and not getting any further. Any idea why this might be happening?
im installing it on the 1.21... update
try ext3 , NOT ext2
that did it for me.

Do you mean to select the option:
SD:ext2 to ext3
as i have already done that and it didnt work
Hmm... strange...
Have you tried repartitioning your sd card? Set the values for swap and ext to zero, then check to see if it boots ok.

nope, just tried with these settings and unfortunately still no luck. I even tried it without any sdcard in there at all and still the same result.
Could the radio version have anything to do with it? as (other than the update) thats the only other thing ive flashed to it

What Radio version did you flash exactly? I don't think that would cause a problem unless you flashed an incompatible version. Are you running Bootloader 0.75.0000 or 0.80.0000?
I would suggest you flash back to stock Radio and then flash back to stock ROM also, as this will restore the stock Kernel. Then after that, carefully take it step by step and try again.
From the steps you have carried out, it all sounds ok to me. When you attempt this again after returning everything to stock, try a ROM that already includes Apps2SD, leaving you to just partition the SD card (after wiping and flashing the custom ROM while in Recovery).
The rom im using is the rootupdate base (1.15) with the 1.21... generic rom manually installed.
I then flashed the following radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This is really annoying as im finding myself flashing my phone daily now to get this working. I appreciate all your help but i think now im just gonna wait for a stable release of froyo to come onto the forums and update with that
Thats the stock radio version that you re-flashed so don't see how that would cause a problem.

Hello everyone,
I'm stuck again, need your help!
I was trying to repartion the EXT on the sd card, with Gparted. I thought everything went find, but afterwards when I tried to boot: I got stuck on alpharev bootscreen (why so serious).
I tried, clearing cash, dalvik, system/data etc...
And I also don't seem to be able to flash zip files! They won't be recognized be the recovery? I just get the message "no files found". I really don't understand, I copy the zip file (containing InsertCoin 1.0.8) to the root, but the phone doens't see it.
I have CM7 HBOOT and CWM-AplhaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8
Help please! What should I do.
Prob messed up your SD card maybe. Check to see if it works on your PC. If not, just partition it FAT32 then start again.
I tried to do the GParted thing again. It didnt work?
I made 2 partitions (1 FAT32 en 1 EXT4), would it make a difference if I only made 1 FAT32 like you suggested?

That will solve the issue you posted, but you won't be able to use data2sd or similar ad these require the EXT partition
I'm a little confused, are you saying that the EXT partition is somehow causing these problems?
edit: maybe I should just flash another recovery? Amon RA 2.0.0 maybe?
no don t flash anything til you have a complete working phone ... fix the sd card issue before. make sure fat32 and ext4 are primary partition
in gparted fat32 should be labelled LBA.
try to mount your sd on recovery, if it s well done you should be able to do so.
I'm back up!!! Finally! Thanks to everyone helping me.
Seems like Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 was causing the problem, it doenst support EXT4... I flashed Amon RA 2.0.0 and the zip files were recognized again.
@fragargon: didn't label partitions as LBA though, why is this needed?
Thanks!
hello I have a little problem

How long do you wait? First boot can take up to 15 minutes.
One of the things xpart will try to do is change your ext3 partition to ext4 -- this might take time -- some report up to 45 min.
having ext4 partition from the start might help
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

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
