[Q] continuous reboots after flashing AOKP 4.2.2 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having trouble running AOKP on my phone. After wiping and flashing the ROM then Gapps the phone continues to reboot. Is there anything else that should be done?

Make sure you wipe all caches ams ext partition. Also male sure that you used the correct gapps. I know if you use the wrong gapps it will bootloop.
Are you s-off or just htc-dev unlocked?

Did you install a different kernel?

I didn't change the kernel. In the first reply it mentions "ams ext"- did you mean to wipe external partition? Do I need to do any special formatting of the SDcard before flashing the ROM?

You will need an ext4 partition for the a2sd and it will need to be a clean flash too cause I'm on it now and I dirty flashed into no WiFi. So partition sdcard and clean flash.

Thank you very much for providing that link. Would you recommend to follow the partitioning scheme in that link or use different partition sizes? Should the remaining partition stay at Ext3 or updated to Ext4?

I'd use 0 swap, 1048 ext and remainder fat. Afterward upgrade to 3 then upgrade to 4 yes.

[Q] InsertCoin hangs on wallpaper

I have a problem with InsertCoin A2SD+ 1.0.8. After flashing everything seems OK but it shows me Desire's default wallpaper and then.. nothing. Nothing happens. Can't see the buttons etc only wallpaper and top status bar. I flashed it 2 times already and still nothing. Of course I wiped all data/cache.
This may have something to do with S-OFF?
SD Card
2.5 GB FAT32
1 GB EXT3
~100 MB EXT3
~100 MB SWAP
Your SD card partitions are not appropriate. You need two partitions: fat32 for you stuff and 1gb ext2/3/4 for apps, both primary. Nothing more, like third partition or swap.
Right after I wrote first post I changed partitions on SD card to ~2.80 GB FAT223 and 1GB EXT4 both primary, wiping, flashing and STILL ALL THE SAME
Hm.. Then?
- Do you have the correct hboot?
- Did you wipe Dalvik as well?
- Maybe a corrupt download?
I'm out of ideas.

Nope, I downloaded it 2 times.
I wouldn't use ROM manager for things like this. Try wiping/flashing manually, in recovery. ROM manager likes to cause problems to users.

Rom manager is a really bad software. Better use gparted.
are you following correct order for partition??
1st fat 32
2nd ext 3/4
if you have windows then try partitioning with some software like easus partition manager..also order is very important
also see to it tht you are downloading the rom for stock hboot..the rom is available for stock hboot and cm7 hboot

Do you use the recoomended radio? 5.17.05.23?

I remember my friend flashed this rom with and older radio and he got bootlops/hangs - flashed the latest one and it worked.

Yeah but if you flash back to Stock Rom using Odin your filesystem is back to RFS
Not necessarily, the /data and /cache partitions aren't touched by Odin.

The solution to that is to format within recovery mode. If that doesn't work, dd RFS-formatted empty /data and /cache back into place. Let me know if someone needs those.

a2sd problem on Update-CM7.2-20120518-gio-NIGHTLY-AROMA

Did anyone manage to configure a2sd on the latest CM7 by phiexz? My Gio goes in infinite boot loop. Any suggestion besides s2e?
20120325?
Thats from March the 25th.
Latest version is 20120518.
Why don't you use S2E? I used to use a2sd, but after trying S2E I preferred it.
huh? is there any update last may 18? the latest is last april 26.

There is a problem with a2sd in new release. This method won't work. Only S2E is working.

doing a factory reset changes the partition type. Its a bug in the phiex recovery.
S2E is not working for me after installing my backup is restarted when installing applications.

This is S2E bug. Try this;
Disable S2E.
Format your sd-card through pc using any software like MiniTool Partition, etc.
Then re-enable S2E. This should resolve the issue with S2E.

Need Help - SensuAOSP ROM vs. Shooter for the EVO 4G! Choice and Setup!

Help!
Opinions???
SensuAOSP ROM vs. Shooter for the EVO 4G?
SensuAOSP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=sensuaosp
Shooter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=shooter
Shooter seems like a quick install with an amazing build!
whereas SensuAOSP ROM (amazing build as well) has:
1. Wipe everything except your SDcard 3x
2. Partition your SD card to 1024, 0 swap
3. Upgrade ext2 to ext3
4. Upgrade ext3 to ext4
5. Flash the ROM
6. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
7. Reboot
8. Dont touch your phone for at least 15 minutes
Also, if anyone can direct me to how to perform steps 1-4 or elaborate - would rock!

Do you already have a partitioned sd-card?
SensuAOSP will NOT boot unless you have a partitioned SDcard.
SensuAOSP is an AOSP build (2.3.7) whereas GWs Shooter is sense 3.0.

You'll find it a few pages back in the dev section
In the recovery, youll see an option to partition your sd card, hit it, set swap to 0, and set the SDext size to 1024.. when it finishes, youll see an option to upgrade ext2 to ext3, do that, then select the option upgrade ext3 to ext4.
PARTITIONG YOUR SD WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF OF YOUR SDCARD
Do you have any more questions? Also, never apologize. I'm here to help.

Download whichever one, make sure it is smelkusMOD 4.3, and download the one ending with .zip, rename it to PC36IMG, and put it on the root of your SD, boot into the bootloader, and select yes when it asks to update, dont restart the system, then boot into recovery from hboot.

SensuAosp Help
Hi,
I rooted & flashed SensuAosp last night...I love it . Thanks for the clear instructions (definitely one of the easier ones ) So its running. But I have one issue. I've searched Google'd and even read through over 156 pages of forum q&a tips tricks etc..
So my problem is that some of the apps (Facebook, Slice It, etc) won't open (error msg & force closes) .
Went to Google play (figured maybe they needed updating) its stuck on downloading but doesn't download ( using WiFi).
I cleared cache, uninstalled play update, cleared service framework, even cleared media storage, & reboot several times.
None of them worked.
My mobile service SPRINT is intentionally disconnected I have an abundance of wifi. Why is this not working?
Here are my specs:
PC36100
Droid Version : 2.3.7
Baseband: 2.15.00.19
Kernel V: [email protected]#1
CPU info :ARM v7Processor rev 2(v71)
Men info: 194MB/414MB
Mod version: SENSUAOSP 2.3
Build Date: Monday/1-21-13
Build Number: Gingerbread

What recovery are you using? If you're using amon ra v. 2.3 it's under the other menu, and called fix uid mismatches. If your using smelkusmod, it's under the other menu, and called fix permissions. If your using clockworkmod it's called fix permissions

V. Little Storage Space

Hi, I have a problem where the phone only allows me to install about four 3-4mb apps before is says 'storage space is running low'. This has been the case for a long time over many roms.
Tried with and without an 1gb ext4 partition on a 16gb and 32gb memory card. Roms tried include most ICS, JB 4.1 and JB 4.2. Have also tried with a2sd and without. Result: no changes.
Am currently on Nikez's 4.2 roms.
I hope there is a solution...
Thanks
Did ya activate a2sd via terminal emulator?
a2sd install (grant superuser perm)
Then answer....

Exactly after flashing the rom, flash this:

It should get you a lot more space by also moving dalvik cache to sd-ext (no need for terminal commands anymore)

My sd card is currently not partitioned, and i don't really want to re partition it. Is there any way to fix this without partitioning sd card. I have previously tried a similar file to the one you posted, and it allowed more apps to be installed but still not as many as was used to
Edit: Having seen your sig, i read the how to partition guide, and I used the 4ext recovery method. Is it possible to remove and then recreate a partition from that recovery?
