HELP!! installed CM 4.0.3.1 with move cache..NO SD!

hey guys i just updated to CM 4.0.3.1 and it automatically installed move cache to sd, i also accidently installed teds hero theme, not knowing it wasnt ready for 4.0.3 yet, but now my phone cant read my sd card, therefore i cant mount/unmount it , could this be from the "move cache to sd" app? any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

Did you have your card partitioned with ext2/ext3/ext4? If you didn't then apps2sd won't work. And you can always mount your sd card thru adb.

Just partition your sd card with your fat32, ext2/ext3/ext4 (I would do ext3), and linux-swap then reflash the rom.

i dont know how, and my sd card doesnt even show up on my phone at all

btw im using my 1gb card that came with my phone

Do you have a card reader?

nope im suggesting my card is toasted or i have to do a wipe?

try booting into recovery, drop into the recovery console and type
ums_enable while your phone is plugged up to your computer. if that works, when you are done type ums_disable. that should allow you to mount your card in recovery

either way, i still dont know how to partition my car....i just want to be able to get it to be read so i can reflash my rom and go back to normal

which recovery image do you have?

we all had to start somewhere
do you have adb? if so just type adb shell reboot recovery
if not, then while stuck at the android screen press send, menu and call to reboot then hold home to boot into recovery.
once in recovery, does it have a picture of a green android, or what is the background of?

Oh I hope I'm okay....

Just installed the new radio, then SPL in that order....
followed instructions for partitioning ext2,
then reboot.....
stuck on the g1 screen.
BUT
I can get to recovery (home and power). What can I do now?

did you install a rom after you installed the new radio and SPL? if not you have to do that.

how can I if i can't boot then mount? do I need to take the sd card out and get a reader? then browse the sd card on a computer and put a new ROM in as update.zip?

exactly, I had to do the same thing when I updated to the new radio and spl. If you don't have a micro sd to sd then just go buy a new micro sd card and it will come with one.

Plug in your USB cable as normal, boot to recovery, go to the console and enter
Code:
ums_enable
to mount

don't forget to ums_disable when you are done to unmount the sdcard

Major RA-dream Problem

Is it normal to NOT be able to wipe the Dalvik-cache and ext partition??
It always gives me an error saying it doesnt exist? I am able to install ROMs and themes however. Any ideas or recommendations on what to do?

Do you have partations on your SD?

Do you mean the below?
Partition Fat32/Ext2 with App2SD
Open up Apps2SD
It will show you a screen telling you that your card is not partition and you will have a sliding bar to choose the amount of space you want for an EXT2 partition
I suggest a max of 600mb for EXT2 space (I use 500mb)
Press Ok
You will get a Force Close screen DONT PRESS FORCE CLOSE PRESS WAIT
You will get a reboot message, Press Reboot
You now have a EXT2 partition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading your EXT2 Partition to EXT3
Note: You do need the Cyanogen Recovery image for this to work!
Reboot into Recovery (Home + Power)
Go to console (Alt+x)
Press Enter
Type the following in the Console:
Code:
upgrade_fs
Wait for it to finish
Congrats! You now have a Fat32/EXT3 partitioned Sd Card!

If you get a error about run via console or something you should remove sd blow the slot then place the card back in. Your sd might be the prob though so see if anything changes.
I see i noticed you have a older Ra which has bugs you should upgrade to theh newer version that have those things fixed.

Yes it does say run via console, blew the slot several times and same thing, even blew on the SD card and nothing :-(
Perhaps it is time to change out this SD for a newer one, could be its going out on me?

Upgrading to the latest and greatest RA is my next step, hoping this will fix my issue... thanks for all your suggestions so far.
@ilostchild: thanks for your input as well.

Okay so I installed the lastest RA Dream and am still getting the same error.
I am going to test out a new microSD and see what happens. I just have to make a temporary folder on my desktop copy, format the new SD to fat32 and copy the original files and folders I had back into the new one right?
Also, will me not having partitions be the whole reason behind it? Even the Dalvik-cache?

yes................ that would be a reason why you can't wipe your ext partition. you need to have an ext partition to wipe it.

Format it on your PC but do a normal format not a quick format. Then try to format it from the phone.

Yes.. you can partition by installing clockworkmod's ROM manager. But I would suggest you to install the ROM from my given link.. Because HD ROM's from evil have many issues.. NO camera and wifi and some other issue.. it is less stable. But the link I've provided is very stable ROM and it is by Evil.. so.. its your choice finally.

[Q] About to smash my old G1, please help me load a custom rom.

so I found my old G1 and decided to install a newer version of android. Did a search and learned I needed to root it first, so I did it following THIS GUIDE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
I Did every step well. Now in order to install a custom rom, at the end of the page it says:
Download the image.
Rename it to update.zip.
Copy it to your phone's SD card.
Turn your phone off.
Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
Press alt-W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
Press alt-S to apply the update.
There are links for custom roms in the same page but none of them work.. So i searched myself for a new rom and found "Froyo by Lazzo", put it in the SD card and renamed it to update.zip, installed the zip succesfully but when it reboots it just hangs in the black G1 screen...
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much for your help... but I am so freaking confused/frustrated still. I we t to the threads you mentioned, downloaded a single zip file called "dream2708kit" that comes with the radio and spl. How do I install those files? by selecting on "install zip from sdcard" in recovery?
I tried installing the zip containing the two files (spl and radio) but as I expected got an error saying there are two files... how do I install each one at a time?? thanks very much for your help...

its ok, i know how it feels, be very careful because the process of upgrading your radio and spl is potentially dangerous and can cause a brick, so make sure to follow every direction as instructed.
here are guides to updating radio and spl:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983834
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
fastboot method is much safer, but if recovery method is the only way you can do this, go for it, but be extremely careful.

Thanks, finally installed hboot and the radio I needed, still with partitioning troubles.... lets forget the rom I wanted in the first post, I found this one:

I have the correct radio, followed instructions and it hangs in the black G1 screen... must be because I am having troubles understanding how to partition the damn sd card!
I am stuck in this step "partition your sd card: swap(64M+),EXT4(AT LEAST 256M),FAT32" so...how do I do that?
I have the RA v1.7 recover, so when I go to "partition sd card" I get the following options:
Partition SD
Repair SD:ext
SD:ext2 to ext3
SD:ext3 to ext4
Which one should I choose to complete this step: swap(64M+),EXT4(AT LEAST 256M),FAT32
When I choose the 1 option it allows me to set the swap size as well as the Ext2 one,
but if I select any of the two other options it just partition the SD without allowing me to chnge the sizes...

Its actually pretty simple.
Ok, so heres what your going to do.
We are going to partition through recovery:
boot into recovery
go to the partition sd card option
click partition sd card
use these sizes:ext 2: 512 mb, linux swap :64, and the rest is for the fat 32 partition
then once that is done, click ; SD:ext2 to ext3 :: Convert ext2 to ext3
then once that is done, click : SD:ext3 to ext4 :: Convert ext3 to ext4
and u now have ext 4!
and there ur done.

It doesn't matter what format it is, when you click format sd card, your formatting it to ext 2. What I mean by the rest for fat32 is because your sd card will have 3 partitions, sd ext, swap, and whatever is left of the sd card after choosing the sizes for sd ext and swap, will go towards fat 32.
So just follow my steps again and see if it works, if not are you sure its your sd card? Did you flash the appropriate kernel for the rom to boot? Your supposed to flash a kernel after flashing the rom. Your probably doing everything else right except that. Flash the kernel recommended in the rom thread.
