Ok so last night when i flashed ace42's hero everything was going ok wasnt a slow hero but i wanted to go back to super D. My dumbasz forgot to nandroid and when i try to flash an rom it stays on the 1st splash screen i could acces recovery and bootloader so its not a hard brick. Ive tried every thing form reflashing the radio and spl to the bootloader and back. Shoooot i even tried using DREAIMG.Nbh and the stock cupcake but still nothing nada. Any ideas what could be wrong? Im using amons recovery 1.6.2 btw
did you try wiping? Usually after you do a nandroid/switchrom/bart it's best to wipe before you flash.
Try This:
Code:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Ext Partition
Repair EXT
Flash New Rom
See if that doesn't help.

Yes ive tried all that sadly no success=/ it says error wipe ext via console or repair ext via console im looost
Go to recovery
Console, format your sdcard and repartition
then put the update file
and flash the rom.
Ugh

Can you fastboot the phone? If you can do that then I recommend flashing through fastboot a boot and system image of what was previously working.
Just a thought, but did you try flashing the HTC recovery first?
I just had this same problem. I did a complete wipe. then flashed DRC83_base_defanged.zip (found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nymkxjmndzd)when it was done flashing I flashed cyanogens latest with no reboot in between. I am now back up and running.
Backup the contents of your FAT partition on your SDCARD to your computer.
Reformat you SDCARD.
Repartition the SDCARD using Amon_RA's recovery (ext3 or ext4 partiton).
Reboot back into recovery.
Wipe your data/dalvik-cache.
Restore all of your FAT content originally saved from your SDCARD.
flash the DRC83_base_defanged.zip and then CM rom immediately following.
plug your device into your computer (if it's not there already) and use ddms or adb shell logcat to get a logcat and see if it appears to be repeating if your phone doesn't boot then copy the logcat and post it here.
Good luck.
Hello,
I am about to install CM7. I currently Have Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 with CWM 3.0.0.5. I believe I need to update to CWM 3.0.1.0 first. Do I need to wipe / format the boot partition first or will the update to CWM / CM7 do that? What data lives in boot curerntly and what would be a situation / reason for wiping the boot partitition? When is it ever done?
Thanks in advance!

you should not wipe boot when installing cm7

OK. thank you, but what would be a situation / reason for wiping the boot partitition? When is it ever done? I'm trying to learn about all aspects of rooting / cwm.
Thank you

Not needed,running cwm will handle everything. Also the boot should stay so that SD keeps priority for recovery reasons.
There is a ROM Manager option to wipe data/cache, this should be done if changing rom types (ex nookie to CM7) but isn't usually needed between minor versions of the same rom unless issues arise.
It wipes the boot sequence, doesn't matter what rom you're going too, you need the boot data.
I've wiped it twice. Both times required I restored to stock before moving to a custom rom. Just wipe data and cache, and you'll be fine.
when going from nookie Froyo to CM7, you are changing the file system from EXT-3 to EXT-4. Remember to format /system /data /chache, and wipe Dalvik-cache within CWM 3.0.1.0 before installing the CM7 rom. By formating the three partitions in CWM 3.0.1.0 you upgrade the file system.
There is almost never a reason to format /boot. You will only cause problems that are annoying to fix.
Remember to do a backup in CWM before you format and flash CM7. You never know.
Hello,
I was on stock Android 2.1 rooted + xRecovery + JIT + Link2SD.
I tried to install multiple custom roms (GingerDX 007, Floyo 1.0, FroyoBread 0.23) and did a Full Wipe in xRecovery (tried also CWM recovery from the Floyo).
There seems to be something "evil" going on, because multiple apps are still there from my 2.1 after full wipe or a full custom rom recovery. Some of these apps and/or services are crashing. And all of these custom roms are very laggy and slow as opposed to what I have read about them.
I do not understand why I cannot wipe everything out from my old installation.
Can anybody help please?
bump. bump.
Sounds like as you have some remains from Elcair on your SD card the new ROM somehow sees. After Full wipe (Factory Reset) and ROM Flash there shouldn't be any left-overs in the system or cache partition as xRecovery is formatting the NAND partitions.
Try backing up your data from the SD card and format it afterwards in Settings.
::: ROFL u hv to format partition... then it will not happen more
use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to format partition or delete all file from root explorer (sd ext)
Hello guys, im using cm7 kang build at the moment and i want to try the stock based roms like modaco rom. I understand that i have to convert to ext3 by flashing a zip file called backtoext3, but there are no proper instructions of how to do this, so please correct me if im wrong
1. boot into recovery
2. wipe data
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik cache
5. wipe battery stats
6. flash backtoext3.zip file in clockwork
7. flash rom in clockwork
This should be correct...
No need to wipe

If you want to clear everything.
