hey guys, i have a smiple question, I am running Cyanogen7rc2 with data2ext applied. Now if i wiped data and it formatted everything, and i format sd card and sd-ext, i get this "(bad) installition aborted" when ever i flash that rom. Can anyone explain this to me in greater detail?
1st what version are you running??? If your able to nand back to when you had data2ext working do so. 2nd if you wipe sd-ext more than likely you'll end up in a boot loop. Also if you just wipe everything and flashed the rom without flashing the data2ext zip right after you might receive that msg. After you restore a nand always reflash the data2ext zip. If your rom is functioning fine and you want to update to a new one. Reboot into recovery make a nand+ext backup then flash the data2ext zip and reboot. Then reboot back into recovery and to keep all of your data just wipe cache & dev-cache then flash the rom then the data2ext zip and reboot. If your rom is running fine and you wanna do a fresh install do the same process of making a nand+ext backup then reboot. Then go back into recovery and wiped data,cache,dev-cache. "Don't wipe sd-ext". Then flash the rom & right after flash the data2ext zip and reboot. You will have to setup the data2ext again threw terminal or adb. This is what I do no guarantee it will work for you if your running cwm but it should. The reason I say this is because I'm running data2ext ext2 gf's mod and I'm using Ra1.7. Hope this helps. Also you might want to redownload the rom as it might be a bad dl.

That was a ginormous explation! thanks!
Im running dataext4 v4.
So let me get this straight, if i wipe data data/factory reset it wipes the partion off the sd card, or no?

Na not wipe it out as in making the partition disappear it just removes the link you had to it threw data2ext. Because you wiped all of the data from it. Your partition remains but the link is removed. Data2ext ext4 or ext2 wont carry over if you wipe data.

You might want to consider data2ext ext2 "IMO" It performs better. I've read a lot of posts about users having problems with ext4. Its a know fact ext2 can cause data loss if you do a battery pull or improper shut down. But I've been using it for quite some time and I've done batter pulls galore and have lost no data just had to boot into recovery and wipe cache & dev-cache and reflash the data2ext zip and I was good. Also if your not s-off I recommend it when using data2ext and just in general.

ok thanks ill do the data2ext2 and try that out.
So one last thing and im all good. the only way you can erase those partions is if you format the sd card, through a computer program?
ah man now im stuck, i nand back to a stock back up i had, then formatted my sd card through my computer
then went to recovery to flash CM7rc2 and i still get this (bad)installition aborted. do i need to re enable the data2ext in my stock rom, then flash CM7.
You can threw a computer program or threw your recovery.

Backup all of your data.
After you format threw your pc then format it threw your recovery. Then re partition your sd to 1024 ext2 or 1024 ext4 0swap and the rest fat. Then place all of your data back on your sd. Then wipe data, cache,dev-cache and sd-ext. Then flash your rom of choice followed by the data2ext zip and reboot. When you reboot you will have to resetup data2ext threw terminal or adb.

cheers to you man, hope this works. so as long as i dont run that command in adb it wont push the data over to the ext, though it is always partioned?
Yup your right. Even if you flash the data2ext zip it wont activate until you tell it to.

hey, I had Mighty Max's Hero rom installed onto my phone running perfect and I was happy, until today. My phone is randomly rebooting for no reason what so ever. Started yesterday morning with just one reboot and didn't think much of it then when I woke up today it was going crazy and now its just frustrating. So in my frustration I backed up my phone and put a new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579674
Now when I flash it goes through everything and then says
Code:
E:Can't chown/mod /system/ (Too many open files)
E:Failure at line 22: set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644
SYSTEM:
Can anyone help me out on this
Specs are in sig.
ok here is what you do, you gotta reformat and repartition your sd card, load a new NON HERO ROM on your sd card, and flash it. that SHOULD do the trick.
i know its a pain in the ass but i have had to do it a couple of times. may i suggest cyanogens rom? its really easy to flash, you just have to flash a .zip before you flash his rom. he has a WIKI. its super easy and pretty stable.
haha oh geeze I did that just before I installed Mighty Max >.<
well, i'll give it a whirl haha.
Thanks for the reply
Edit: It didn't work, I still get errors =/

I noticed your using Amon Ra 1.2.3. I was having a problem with the ROM not staying on my phone until I went back to Cyanogen 1.4. Weird any time the phone was plugged in and I rebooted the ROM was gone. Try flashing and after flash unplugging, reboot and get Cyanogen back on there. Just a thought.

I wasn't able to flash any roms besides a few selected, i wasn't even able to flash Cyanogen's, that even shocked me. It always flashed no matter what.
I reflashed the Mighty Max after thinking that maybe me deleting everything would fix the rom, turns out it doesn't.
When my phone goes idle, it freezes up and restarts from a crash.
I guess its when I get a text, but not all the time though.

Are you wiping your Ext3 with Amon Ra Recovery 1.2.3? If so, go to recovery drop to console and hit enter, then mkefs2 -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 enter. Wait, let it do its thing. Then,
reboot recovery enter. Now flash and proceed to reflash your recovery back to Cyanogen 1.4. If this fails, you may want to go back to RC29. Sounds like alot of work but at least you'll have a functioning phone.

The reason I added "*name of whatever you named the Cyanogen recovery image*" is because I tried flashing Amon Ra's 1.2.3 the same way using the default name but Terminal said I couldn't flash, so I just named it "recoveryimage.img."

REFLASH THE HAYKURO "DEATH/DANGER" spl!
it'll repartition (also wipe) your phone's internal phone memory if you haven't already done so,
it's usually the cause since some roms are too big and leave residual files
next stop to ensure a clean install is to just do a data/cache wipe from the recovery menu
now you wanna either wipe/format your ext partition or just repartition your entire sd card for the heck of it
then repair ext partition,
then wipe again
then flash flash flash

if it is, I already have it =/
yeah that's the one, but DO IT AGAIN anyways
because it also cleans out the system.
Do I need to flash the radio again as well or just the SPL?
most times when trouble shooting these things, you'd want to repeat steps to ensure that what you're doing and what you have done at the moment aren't causing your problems, only by redo-ing these steps can you validate what's a problem and what's not, and in the process you'll most likely find a solution!
so try repartitioning, wiping, and reflashing the radio and spl, and finally reflashing your rom
just reflash both
radio, then spl
you wanna make sure everything's in good order.
sometimes if all these things don't work, it might just be your sd card has crapped out on you
and its time to get a new one, sd cards and the flash memory on them are limited to however many read and write cycles and if you've been using linux swap on them, then you're using your sd card as RAM pretty much.

I've never bothered with apps2sd previously, but since I've been running darchdroid the last few weeks I've set up his native version and have been loving it.
Now that dd2.7 is out and MMS is fixed, I tried to flash over but it didn't fix the issue. Release notes say I may have to wipe to get it to work. Ok no problem.
What happens to my apps2sd stuff when I wipe my phone? Will I be able to just flash dd2.7 as per usual and everything is good to go?
If I choose to wipe everything (including ext4), will I have to repartition my card again or will my current partitions hold from when I partitioned them the first time?
I ran a few searches but couldn't come up with any good answers to my questions.
I appreciate your help,

If you do a wipe, you'll want to wipe ext and cache as well. I suggest Titanium Backup or something like that for your apps.

Partitions won't change unless you re-format your SD card. Nothing on the FAT partition will be touched.

Hey my xda'ers. I apologize with the bombardment of questions i have recently, theyre all things i have looked into and couldnt find exactly what i needed.
Its an easy question for those who use data to ext.
I had to go back to my backup (stock rom) to update my prl. This was from CM7.03 with data2ext applied. In recovery i wiped data/fac reset., cache partion, format boot, cahche, data, system, and sd-ext (this part is what i might mis understood) But anyway. I did what i had to do then decided to flash an AOSP rom. So in recovery i did the exact same wipe as above. Flashed rom, gapps, and data2ext4 v4. I didnt partion my card cause i though it was already partioned from my CM rom when i did it then (correct?) so i booted in and ran all the commands i needed for data2ext4 and it didnt run down my internal memory. so i decided to partion my sd card (again) to see if that would fix, it did NOT.
So can anyone shed light on what i did wrong and if i need to format and start over!?
When you were running data2ext you were supposed to do a nand+ext backup first and then flashed the data2ext zip and then rebooted. Then you were supposed to boot back into recovery and only wipe data,cache & dev-cache and then flashed your sense rom of choice. After you updated pri/prl power down and reboot back into recovery and make a regular nand and reboot. Then boot back into recovery and wipe data,cache & dev-cache then restore your nand+ext you made and then flash the data2ext zip and reboot. When your running data2ext ext don't wipe the sd-ext it will more than likely result in bootloops and could make your nands useless. Also your partition you setup on your sd should still be there unless you reformatted your sd. So when you wiped the sd-ext you essentially wiped out your data2ext link. And as far as if you have to start over well you could try to restore your nand+ext if you made one and then flash the data2ext and reboot to see if it will. If not then yes. But when you get it all set back up just make a nand+ext backup and remember not to wipe the sd-ext.

Oh and you don't have to reformat your sd your partitions should still be there as long as you didn't reformat your sd. You can just flash a fresh copy of your rom and just resetup the data2ext mod. But remember to make a nan+ext backup. Also always remember when you do and nand+ext backup always flash the data2ext zip and reboot. Then go back into recovery and continue. Same with restoring a nan+ext always reflash the data2ext zip right after.

im using CW 3.0.2.8 and it doesnt say nand+ext, so i assume you use RA?
But i also assume CW backs up the ex if it exsits?
Edit: also you say flash it then reboot, then go back into recovery.
When i reboot do i need to enable it while im there, or just simply boot and go back to recovery?

yes, CWM automatically backs up ext.
Thanks Il Duce!
From which part are you flashing the data2ext zip from???? And my bad. I'm using Ra, I should have asked you what recovery you were using. The same applys. And thanks duce for the cwm info.

From the rom i had enabled with? yes. Cause i dont know how to disable it haha
If you already have the mod enabled and you want to do a update the same applys. Roms, kernels,etc. And since cwm already backs up the ext, then after you do the nand just flash the zip and reboot. Same applys for an update for pri/prl. And to disable data2ext in terminal do this

Hello guys,
I have a little problem which seems to be coming when I move the dalvik cache to the EXT partition of my device.
I am using the latest version of MIUI. It has A2SD built in, but it doesn't seem to be working. It was working before though...
What happened:
I restored the NANDROID backup of the stock ROM I had made before flashing MIUI. Once I booted into it, it warned me about the 2.3.4 OTA update. I did it, but forgot that it overwrites the bootloader, removes root and I will not be able to revert to MIUI.
I pushed the Clockwork recovery and immediately started restoring the NAND backup of my MIUI ROM. Without gaining root on the Stock 2.3.4 ROM.
The Dalvik was moved to the EXT on the MIUI I was trying to restore and functioning properly.
The restore went fine, until it got to restoring the sd-ext. It stood there at some *.tmp file for an hour or so. I removed the battery, booted into recovery, wiped and started the restore again. This time it finished, but when I went to start the phone, it got stuck at the Nexus logo, not even showing the MIUI boot screen.
Wiped again. Tried booting into a previous backup, which didn't have the Dalvik moved to the EXT partition. Restored and booted just fine.
I tried several more times restoring the latest backup I had (the one with dalvik to ext) and got the same result.
Then I tried installing the MIUI backup that didn't have Dalvik moved to EXT and tried moving the Dalvik to EXT. The phone rebooted and same thing happened. Didn't want to get past the Nexus logo.
I then wiped everything except batt stats, formatted ext, and flashed the MIUI ROM. It booted perfectly, but A2SD was not working, just like before (solution was to move dalvik to sd). I downloaded the A2SD GUI only and moved the dalvik to EXT AGAIN. And AGAIN - not booting past Nexus logo.
The only thing I still haven't done is formatting the SD and re-creating the EXT partition.
Any other suggestions on what may be causing this and how to fix it?
I want to have a2sd on this ROM and moving the dalvik to EXT seems to be the only way of achieving this.
Repartition SD card, you've most probably corrupted the EXT partition by pulling the battery.
Do you think that restoring the last MIUI backup I had after this will do the job?
After repartitioning? As long as you back up the files from the main FAT32 partition on the computer, and restore them back - the EXT will be overwritten when restoring nandroid anyway.
Well.... I just formatted the card with Panasonic SD formatter. Transfered only the nandroid backup (without creating an ext partition beforehand) and restored it successfully, but when the phone starts booting it is stuck at the Nexus logo.
I also checked the MD5 of the backup and everything is fine.

Wipe Cache and dalvic. Than try again. Your System Need a ext wenn you push dalvic to sd before.
I ran out of options.
Formatted the card, tried restoring - Nexus logo
Wiped Everything + Dalvik and Cache, restored - Nexus logo
Wiped Everything + Dalvik and Cache, didn't restore old MIUI backup - successful boot. When I tried to move Dalvik to EXT after the successful boot - Nexus logo after restart.
If anyone can suggest anything... Because this way I have no access to the A2SD on the device with this ROM. And everything was working fine before I restored the Stock Ginger.
Did you try installing DT on any other ROM and try and move dalvik to the sd to see if it does the same thing?

No. I haven't tried with another ROM. I guess I will try CM7 and see what happens when I move the Dalvik to the EXT.
I repartitioned once again, this time using the same EXT size as before the breakdown (512MB). When the backup I am trying to restore was made.
Was using 1024 when I partitioned previously and got the Nexus logo again.
Edit: Same thing. Successful restore and then the Nexus Logo.
I suspect it's the ext partition. Why don't you try formatting through recovery, and do a clean install?
Which recovery do you use? I would avoid Clockwork 3.x...
Well. I formated using Panasonic SD Formatted and then partitioned using the recovery. I did a clean install after that and as soon as I move the Dalvik to the EXT, I can't boot past the Nexus logo.
Yes, Clockwork 3.x. I guess I will try Amon_RA as well. Nothing left to lose.
If you partition with Amon Ra, make sure you up the partition from ext2 to ext3 (available through the Ra menu options)...
Ok. Partitioned with RA.
Tried to transfer the nandroid backup made by Clockwork to a sd/nandroid folder so I can restore it from within RA but it kept giving out some error telling me to look at the recovery log when I selected *.img files from the list.
Good news. I booted into MIUI and installed a2sd GUI. Moved Dalvik to EXT without a problem. I guess Clockwork's partitioning is flawed. Everything is working fine now.
Thank you.
Can anyone suggest a method I can use to restore the Clockwork made NAND backup + the EXT backup now when my partitions are finally alright.
Any method would be fine. Even manual through adb. I don't care. As long as I restore my phone to yesterday.
Thank you guys once again.
You should be fine if you load a clockwork prior to v3.x. I think 2.5.1.4 was the latest version prior to the v3.x series. The issues only arise with v3.x.
But only clockwork is able to restore clockwork backups, and the same goes for Amon_RA.
As an alternative, you can just extract the img files and manually load your data back on. It is definitely more time consuming, but it wouldn't matter what recovery you use. It has been a while since I extracted anything from the img files, and when I did, I just got the data from apps stored on the internal (apps and dalvik were stored on the sdcard), and I think the only program I used was unyaffs2 to extract the data.
Thank you guys!
Partitioning the card with Amon_RA and restoring the old Clockwork-made backup with Clockwork 2.* worked perfectly.
I will not use Clockwork ever agian. Putting Amon_RA and that's it.
You will only have this problem with clockwork 3.x - there doesn't appear to be the same issue with clockwork 2.x
I have been using v2.x without any issues (never upgraded to v3.x). I prefer it because it gives me the option to wipe the /system partition, whereas Amon_RA is missing this feature and you can only do it with a flashable zip.
I use 2.x for a number of reasons. I tried 3.x a few times, but always had ext issues on my N1. Having said that, I've used 3.x on my nook, MT4G and G2, and never had issues with them - just on the N1...
I've used RA 2.2.1 on CM7, MIUI ,Sense rom. I never seen sd-ext issues on my Nexus One.
Need help guys!
Today i flashed cm7.1 on my N1
(B4 i was using cm6 rc1 with DT a2sd)
Cm7.1 works great but i need a2sd for more space
After i flash DT a2sd beta 4 , i entered into boot loop
My phone wont boot
Whats the problem?? do i need to wipe sd-ext also
(As it may contain previous rom's app data?)
Thanks in advance
Please help!
wipe everything including sd ext or use nandroid backup if any( i usually make backup before flashing dta2sd ).if ur using cm 7.1 u can try S2E app available in market which does the pretty same job but its with gui so its easy to operate

Thanks for the reply!! m i right tht wiping sd ext wont format files on sd card?(fat i mean)
I still get into boot loop after wiping sd-ext b4 installing DT a2sd
is there anything to do with the kernal
I would try doing a full wipe (including system) then flash everything a new. ROM, gapps then DT. If you don't want to lose your app data just backup with titanium backup.

Thx for the reply! i hv tried wipe system also. Still failed...
And yesterday i tried another a2sd method with s2e...
Everytime stuck at X screen during restart
Which recovery are you using? - your ext may be messed up...
