Stuck at splash screen no metter what

So I had official Desire gingerbread I rooted it with http://revolutionary.io/
Created fat32 partition and two ext4 partitions and no metter what ROM I install it stucks at splash screen.

Read the OP of the respective ROM. The required partitions are stated there, but usually 1 fat32 and 1 ext is necessary.

go to mounts and storage and format everything apart from sdcard. Then try to reflash a ROM

I unrooted it but its still have Alpharev hboot, I tryed agien after bravo_downgare.img I hope it works, if it works I'll root it agien.

Ok I'm back at working gingerbread, I'm rooting right now. After that I'll create one fat32 partition and two ext4 for this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103410
I hope it works this time.
Any ideas why it didn't work in first place?
After rooting I have HBOOT 6.93.1002

delete your partition and start over with gparted
create your both partition with gparted and then wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache through recovery and after you have done this steps flash your desired rom

I did it all and when I choose install zip from sd it say's E: can't mount /sdcard

I'm back on original gingerbread becouse I tryed 5 different romds from Sensation based to Android stock roms and all of them stuck in slpash screen. Why?

Yes I did wipe everything.
I know but two sansation roms that I tryed needed two ext4 partitions, didnt work, so I formated sd card to fat32 and one ext4 and tryed one froyo rom and one stock android, all of them ended up at slpash screen freeze.

I made my ext 4 partitions with gparted live. As it didin't work I even tryed "create partitions" in recovery. Still stuck at splash screen. If I connect it to PC it constantly sound like I would connect it and disconnect it from PC.

did you created ext 2, ext 3?
did you create ext 2 & ext 3?
maybe the special requirement for the ROM that you wanted to flash is that you need ext 4, but I think you have to have ext 2 & ext 3 partition, like normal.
it is rather uncommon to me (I've only been here not very long) to see a ROM that requires two ext 4 partitions.

Every rom is particular
Normally its required 1 (ONE), and not 2, ext3 partition
2 ext partitions are a problem if not used properly
Re-do everything if u still cant boot ur phone

As far as I understand for this ROM i need two ext partitions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103410
"Remember, in order for data2ext to work properly you need fat+ext+ext where your 2nd ext is 1/3 of your first ext"
What kind of ext partitions should I make ext 3?

I just understood why I'm stuck at splash screen - it's cuz I dont have root access. I use http://revolutionary.io/ but It just give me S-Off and not Root access.
How can I get root accesss?

The root permissions are inside the rom..as u going to install a custom rom, every custom rom have root access..

Flash a simple rom and see if it works..try cyanogenmod nyghtly in the dev thread..it doesnt require ext partition..follow the instruction on the first post of the thread

[Q] Problem about MIUI V4 Desire

Hello,
after performing ful wipe, I installed MIUI V4 for HTC Desire following che "complete installation". After reboot, my desire is stuck, for about half a hour, on white htc screen with green led. Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Probably a no sd-ext partition issue.
via xda app

I don't understand, I followed the complete installation that appear when install the rom. There's something else to do???

Did u partition ur sdcard ? Coz u said u just did full wipe
Sent from my HTC Desire

I perform wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Next I install zip from sd card choosing MIUI-4-Desire-2.4.27-byMarange.zip. Then I choose the complete installation on menu and i install the rom.
Thanks for your time

excuse my ignorance and thank you for your time. I use ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 and I have a 4 Gb Sd card. What should I use to create the ext3 partition and how big???

Personally i wouldnt use ClockWorkMod, its dodgy. but thats me. Go to miui rom v4 thread and read the developers install requirments. I hav'nt time to do it for you.(u should always READ before flashing a rom). I think in ClockWorkMod, u go down to advanced then partition sdcard, then it will give u sizes to choose from and pick what ever the dev requires
Sent from my HTC Desire

I'm using that ROM from Marange. My settings are 1GB EXT3, 128MB SWAP, other FAT32. This settings are working very fine for me...
During the installation choose custom installation then the LX-script (from Lennox, don't know the right name at the moment), then choose EXT3 and existing SWAP.
The first boot needs some time, but then all should work perfect!

In CWM or PX recovery there is option to make partition on sd card. Search it, perhaps it is in advenced options

Before making a partition: Copy all files from you sd-card to your computer, then partition the sdcard, after partition, restore all the files again

Oh, yeah, i forget to write this. Making partitions via recovery deletes all your files from sd-card. About two weeks ago I did it -,-
But making partition via PC is safy

After creating a partition on your sdcard download link2sd from market and create ext4 partition and restart your device

For me 256 MB is fine. Then use S2E, for example, to move system apps on sd-card

is 512 mb fine ?
and how to configure A2SD
just partition and then move apps to sd ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

It's better to make partition size not more than by 10% of your sd-card.
Like if you have 8gb sd-card then you should make around 750-780mb to be on safe side

Make bigger partition.

Hi I currently have 512mb partition how do I change it to 1gb thanks. I'm using 4ext recovery.

You know how to make partitions with 4ext. You cant do it without losing data. Unless you use gparted
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

I recommend to backup your sd card to pc first.
Then backup your sd-ext partition within 4ext if you have a stuff on the partition.
Within 4ext there should be an option to format sd partitions, then repartition with 1gb. Consider increasing it to 1.5gb if you have spare fat32 space and want to install even more apps.
Finally restore sd contents from pc and sd-ext from recovery.

Thanks guys. I thought I might be able to just increase it without doing anything else but obviously can't. Thanks again.

In 4ext, you can use the "keep fat32 partition". It will save your data.

how big can you make the EXT4 partition?
Hi Guys,
I am using a rather old ROM (LeeDroid) and I already increased the EXT 4 to 1Gb.
However, the phone still got full with apps.
Now I bought a bigger card, increased the EXT 4 to 2 GB, but the phone (or ROM) doesn't seem to recognize it...still cant install new apps...
Are there limitations I don't know? Is there a max size of the EXT4?
Thanks for any help...

Theres no actual maximum limit, but it highly recommended that you dont make the ext partition more than 1.5gb

OK, thanks, I will reduce it, but is that why the phone doesnt see the increase?
The change I made didnt make ANY difference...

you can't just swap cards. have you restored restored the ext4 partition from the old card to the new card?
also depends which leedroid rom you are using. you can get much more space by changing hboot and installing the data++ version of his HD port, read the FAQ. this approach requires s-off.
you don't see the increase because a2sd won't report internal memory as "internal + ext". apps get moved to ext automatically. keep them on internal will trick them to sd-ext, i.e. don't manually 'move to sd'
you can use more of the ext space by also moving dalvik to sd-ext, search the leedroid threads on in that FAQ for flashable dalvik to sd zips. there will always be a limit depending on how many apps you install.
i always recommend using an app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions, that way you know exactly how they are filling up

Chief,
Thanks for your responses so far... I am thinking to "upgrade" but the LeeDroid 3.3.3 Data ++ ROM is no longer available to download it seems..
Any idea where I might find it?
Thanks again.

Find any old nokia phone that has a micro sd card slot and put your sd card in it. Then format the sd card using the phones file manager and voila the partition is deleted!!

How old? Which specific model?

Any Symbian model will do!
I personally use the Nokia 5233

connect your phone to PC,enable mass storage,install mini tool partition wizard on PC and open it and there you'll see your hdd and sdcard partitions,then delete sdext partition and extend the fat32 partiton of sdcard with the free space that has left after deleting sdext partition

You should be Able to just format the card from recovery :/

No, I think the OP asked how he can delete the sdext partition i.e. merge it with the original partition. I'm not sure if that can be done from the recovery.

A valid point, but I would still do a full format. after copying everything I needed over of course Both methods work
