Well before flashing the ROM did you create a back up?
And when ever your flashing a ROM your suppose to do a FULL WIPE not just cache and dalvik

no used to doing this on droidx and i would just start from scratch if a flash didnt go through good

i read you cant flash roms with unrevoked is that true ? i can also still get into clockwork recovery should i just try another rom ?

You can flash roms fine with revolutionary and the version of cwm it installs. Try booting to recovery wipe data cache and dalvik cache, reflash ROM and boot to system.

Flash the ROM first do the theme later

Which recovery are you on? If it's TWRP: Get Amon_ra and wipe BOOT: and System: then clear data then just flash rom. It will work. I promise.

Um, you need to have the ROM installed before you can flash a theme for that same ROM.
ALSO, I strongly recomend flashing AmonRA 2.3 to your phone before doing anything else.
If you are going to use Synergy, please follow the directions for partitioning the sd card. Simply copy your sd card stuff onto your computer, format the sdcard then partition it. Then you can copy everything back to the sd card from your puter. It will make life a whole lot easier and faster.

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.

Cannot get rid of MildWild rom

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.

[Q] Play stopped working after install a2sd script!

Hi all!
I've installed this custom rom on my HTC Desire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441 and after I updated to a newer version folowing the instructions, including the a2sd script (i didnt use it before), my Google Play stopped working, everything else is OK!
Here is what i'v done:
1.) Wipe chace, wipe dalvik
2.) Installing zip from SD card
3.) Rebooting and enabling a2sd
4.) Install Gapps from SD card
And after I reboot last and start using the phone my Google Playe store stopped working when I try to install something from the store. Installing APKs via file manager is working.
Any suggestion or solution for my problem?
Thank you!

I think its
1. Full wipe + dalvik
2. Flash rom
3. Flash gapps
(Reboot)
Then the a2sd

Can i run a2sd script again? Or i must remove it first before running again (how to do it if necessary?)?
I followed this method to enable it:
1. su
2. wait for root permission request
3. a2sd install
4. answer "y" (dalvik cache), "n" (data), "y" (reboot)

I will make the full wipe and reinstall the rom. Dont know how can i get here, because i follow the method of the rom maker, and he said first enable the script then install gapps, if the source of a problem is this.
The full wipe will delete also the enabled a2sd script too?

Yh full wipe will delete a2sd. I dunno so, from what iv seen in every rom (ICS/JB etc) its always been-
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
Then activate a2sd in terminal emulator.
But if the dev says otherwise maybe u should post this problem in that thread or atleast look at other posts to see if others have this problem

[Q] HTC Desire HD 4.2.x ROM Process Stopped Help

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003273
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073992
GAPPS
http://goo.im/gapps - I used the top one CyanogenMod - 10.1.x - 4.2.1.
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.
Thanks

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
format /system

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..

That's right. Download the correct gapps for your Android version. http://goo.im/gapps has a properly categorised list.

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...
