Hi.
So I finally got my Desire working after it had been "bricked" for sometime. However, I have a persistent problem that I cannot seem to fix.
Every time I install a ROM by putting the .zip on the SD card and installing from recovery, it works perfectly. I choose the restart option and the phone boots up fine and each ROM is working as it should.
However, on the next reboot after power off, the phone will hang on the ROM logo screen, it get's past the white on green HTC logo screen. This is happening with any ROM that I install.
I would apreciate any help or advice
May be a problem with your SD card or the way you partitioned it.
Wipe everything and re-partition your card using 4ext recovery or gparted.

I've never done anything to the sdcard. However earlier I reformatted all the options within recovery such as cache, data, system etc then reinstalled a ROM again and it now seems ok. So fingers crossed. Thanks for your advice.

Scratch that. It's still doing it. I'll try the partitioning but I've no clue what I'm supposed to do.

Check out the Desire index. There is a guide on how to partition your card correctly.

A little more detail may help. Did you do something and then this happened? Has it been working up till now? Things like that

No I haven't done anything the g2 isnt even 24 hrs old but I switched my sd card to a different one and it worked and switched back to my orginal 8 gig and now it works so idk what the deal is......

How did you try get into recovery that made you end up in fastboot?
If you did Vol down + Power, that will get you to fastboot from a powered down state.
However there is no shortcut like that to get to recovery.
You can select bootloader from the fastboot menu, and then select recovery from there.

No I tried to boot into recovery from rom manager and it went to fast boot I don't know my sd card is being wierd and automatically unmounting the sd card
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
Have you tried unloading your SD card onto your computer and reformatting it before replacing it into your phone?
Not yet I am going to do that tonight this 8 gig sd card has had a lot of use through my last g2 and I just thought it was weird that it went to fast boot when trying to reboot into recovery through rom manager

i restarted my phone and its stuck on bootloop, what do i do?
Try reflashing the ROM without wiping. BTW, for better help, honestly, you need to explain a lot more than the 3-4 words you have posted.
Actually i got the same prob. I disconnected from usb without pressing turn off (i use cyanogen 7.0.3 stable). After doing so, adw launcher didnt seem to respond so i decided to reboot. After that, i got boot loop on reboot. Flashing the rom again seems to solve the problem, but only until next reboot. Any suggestions?

The same type of question,2-3 sentance, no spec of phone. Dude post your spec.
Else try a clean install, formatting boot,system,cache,dalivc cache,user data, ext , etc.

Nop,not necessarily. Cos some will do it as default. But some wont. But it will do no harm if u do, other than consuming 2-5 minutes .

Ok , then the option remaining is restore from backup. If u have the backup of current rom, go to advanced backup in cwm and do system resrore only. And check if it works. If it wont, do full wipe and do a complete restore. No more optns.:-(

i dont have a backup, unfortunantly, looks like i will have to wait until future releases of splash ics then to see if the problem is with other wildfires trying to run that ROM or if it is just mine :-(
Should i redownload the rom to see if that works for me?
Tried wiping data/cache/dalvik cache/system/data-factory reset, and then reflash? 1st boot always takes more time btw.

Copy everything off your SD card, format it in recovery (works better than formatting it in the ROM, in my experience) , and put everything back. Maybe your SD card file system is corrupted. Happened to me a lot of times. This usually fixes it.

I'm the type that likes to ALWAYS do a clean Rom install by wiping EVERYTHING. I've tried looking through the forums but cannot find a decent answer as to why my Virgin Mobile One V fails to perform a full factory reset immediately after swiping to confirm. All that displays is "make_extf4fs" and "FAILED" highlighted in red at the top of the screen. I tried every troubleshooting step recommended to me but still nothing seems to fix this issue and without a solution I cannot do a clean install of my roms that I normally do. What should I do? If anyone has a reliable solution please do help me out. I would greatly appreciate it.

It has been brought up in a thread here and I've been told not to worry about it and that it wont affect anything but in my opinion it does so i found a full wipe flashable zip that i use along with the other wipes. Let me know if u want and ill upload it and u can have it
Sent from my One V using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
It does affect because after it continued to fail I attempted to flash my Rom anyways and all it did was constantly reboot my phone so I had no choice but to go back to stock and reboot but am stuck with the same TWRP issue so if you can provide me with a wipe flashable zip that will do the same wipe procedure please do. Thank you very much.

Read the log on the screen. It is trying to wipe an sd-ext partition. If you haven't partitioned your SD card, then it will give you that error. It is still performing a full wipe of the other partitions.
Sorry if this is a noob question but this is my first time experiencing this issue so how exactly would I check to see if the sd card is partitioned? I assumed it would automatically be that way after flashing the recovery. It's always been that way up until now.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
It's looking for a second ext partition on your card. This is used by various app2sd scripts (such as link2sd) to fool the phone into thinking the apps are installed on internal phone memory instead the normal android way. If you haven't partitioned it yourself, then don't worry about the error message. It's just letting you know it didn't find the second partition.
Oh OK so besides that a full factory reset is still being made? Because I thought that was the cause of my roms not working properly.

Idk.. After that first experience with my last Rom I'm kind of afraid to flash anything else after wiping everything due to it failing on a factory reset. I need to know if it TRULY is safe.

So here's my issue. My phone no longer allows me to flash roms from my external or internal sd card safely. What happens with every rom I flash is twofold. Data connection is always lost, and any reboot causes the phone to boot directly into download mode bypassing the odin flash page. The phone recovers from this with a simple odin back to stock. However, not being able to use non stock roms is no bueno to me.
Does this sound like some internal hwr problem? Is this an SD card issue? Would love some insite.
Which recovery are you using?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Using clockwork recovery current version
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Every ROM I flashed had some bugs and they started to multiply. I used Super Wipe and killed EVERYTHING.
I then loaded every zip onto my micro SD via my computer and put it in my phone. Flash and Go.
I went back to stock rooted MA7. The glitches were gone,
So my suggestion is to do a recovery of your first full backup or do what I did.
Okay will try super wipe tonight thanks

Or if that doesn't work use twrp.

Honestly after I Odin it I think Ill try twrp first. I think I've used the superwipe before

Okay, I can't find the thanks button for you guys. THis is the solution. Don't use CWM recovery. TWRP worked wonders, and because I didn't format recovery in cwm so superwipe would probably had helped as well
Glad its working now. I have never used cwm on this phone. But twrp has been smooth sailing.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Use twrp on my s3, and cwm on the wife's note 2. Never had a problem with cwm. Sounds like the problem was not doing a full wipe with cwm (and not a problem with the cwm recovery itself)? But, whatever works for you.
