Hey guys, so I was trying to get darktremor to work on my phone, got it installed and it booted up fine. I downloaded the darktremor app from the market and ran that, I selected the 2 options to move my data\app and I forget what the other one was to my sd-ext, After that it rebooted and now I can't get passed the "X" boot screen.
I know it's a problem with the sd card because if I take out the sd card my phone boots up just fine.
Thanks guys

Did you partition your sd card?

Yes I did. I ended up just factory resetting my phone and using RA Recovery instead of clockwork. Works great now. Wish I didn't have to restore it because I lost some stuff but it appears clockwork 3.x has problems with ext partitions :/

hey everyone, im not usually quick to ask for help but i am absolutely frustrated and stuck.
trust me ive searched and read everything i need to and its just not working for me
i have a 8gb micro sd class 6 card.... everything was fine and working perfect until i did a nandroid backup
then my card started having errors when repairing ext filesystems
so i put the card in my computer and formatted it.
then i deleted and repartitioned the card
then i did the command in the recovery console to fix the filesystem error
reflashed the radio image
none of that is working for me
i have another 4gb class 4 card and its working perfect for me
but ever since my 8gb did a nandroid backup, the roms wont load at all and i get stuck in a boot loop with the second htc splash screen
PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!! thanks a bunch in advance!!
im using jacxhero v2.1
and i use cyan 1.4 recovery img
After you partition in Recovery, you don't need to fix filesystems... just exit Parted and type upgrade_fs in recovery console to upgrade to ext3.

this is a fault with the rom, the nandroid backup shouldnt cause a bootloop.
did you make sure the partitions are in this order?: FAT32, ext, linux swap?
can you see the card on your pc?
yes i did those 3 in order, ive done it several different times
i make sure that i do the upgrade_fs to convert to ext3
everything goes well when i partition and i can see the sd card in my computer. but for some reason i cant get past the splash screen with this memory card... my other one is working perfect, and so was this one until i did the backup thing
when i flash, it finishes and i reboot and get stuck after the HERO splash screen, the first time it shows the little android guy and then the screen goes black and i see the same spash screen again but with no android
what happens if i repair filesystems after i repartitioned??

it wont hurt to repair it, but it seems that the problem is more likely the hero rom. something is causing the rom to bootloop. did you wipe before you flashed? try that if you havent.
also, set up adb using the stickys in this thread, then use
Code:
adb logcat
when it starts to boot. that way i can see whats happening thats causing it to bootloop
yes i definately wipe before flashing. i still think its the sd card since my other sd card works with the same rom
ill try out the abd thing... ive seen posts about it but never really read into it.
thanks for the advice! ill be right back with the results
right now that i tried again, i cant get passed the tmobile g1 screen... seems to be stuck =[
the card was formatted and partitioned and then i booted (the rom is already flashed on here, i just took out my 4gb card and switched it out for this one so i shouldnt need to reflash should i?
now i deleted all partitions in recovery mode and rebooted....
i got both splash screens hero with android and then the htc splash... now it went to a black screen and has been like this for about 5 or 6 minutes
with my 4gb card it shows the two splash screens and then the black screen comes on for no more than 30 seconds and then the phone loads

well the hero builds put some apps and configuration files on the ext partition. if your 4gb card has those on it, then you probably wont have to.
Can you see the partitions on your computer?
no i dont know how to see partitions on my computer

if your using windows, format the whole card to FAT32 and put it in your card reader to see if it shows up as a removable drive.
what are you using to partition the card? Try flashing another rom that doesnt need extra partitions (such as cyanogen) and see if that rom can see your card as well.
if it doesnt detect it, then your card may have gone bad
=[ looks like i got a bad card....
i appreciate you two helping me out! wish it could have worked... i guess im just gonna pick up a new card
this rom wont even load when i dont have an SD card in it... and when the phone is loaded with my 4gb card, if i take it out, the phone freezes
weird....

like i said, important system files are on the sd card. you cant remove the sd card without crashing it. if you want a rom that you can use without an sd card, use JF or Cyanogen's rom. The hero roms have too much stuff to fit it all in the internal memory of the phone
what are those important files on the sd card?
are you talking about the partitions or something else?
if its something else like hidden files or something, then maybe thats what i need to fix my 8gb

they arent hidden, but thats what i was trying to say. after youve formatted your card, wipe and reflash the update. it will put those files on your card automatically.
they are located on your ext partition.
if you use adb, you can see them in
/system/sd/app_s
to get it to work, put the freshly partitioned sdcard into the phone.
press home+power to get to recovery. wipe the phone. flash the update (jachero2.1)
when it installs, it will find the ext partition and do it manually
I just got an A-Data Class 6 4 gig card. I can format 3 partitions, upgrade to ext3, copy update zips and files to it, but it boot loops when i try to load up a new rom (any rom). My old class 2 4 gig card loads everything fine. It even runs the latest king hero really well.
Any ideas?

How did you partition your card?
using parted in console. I've re-done it several times as well.
So no matter what rom you flash your getting a bootloop. Do you have a nandroid?
I do. Using Amon_Ra's 1.2.3
On 2nd thought, do you mean a nandroid of a bootloop instance?

Naw a nandroid of a rom that was working before you started flashing.
unfortunately no. i got partition crazy and removed the fat32 it was on right before i thought "did i back that up?"
With my old class 2, i've been able to get up and running on 4.1.999 and this king hero rom with no troubles.
Can a taco be bad but not bad? like, it tastes good, but it was made with bad ingredeints or a horrible chef.....
It sounds to me like your wiping after flashing.
You wipe data, Wipe ext, fix ext, flash rom.
If you wipe after flashing, or flash without wiping you will always get a boot loop.
The image doesnt run from your sd card, so the only thing that would cause the loop is the data on your phone.
Find a tested and working rom (i suggest either Mligns newest or Kings newest)
Go into recovery and turn on USB.
Move rom to sd card.
Wipe data
Wip EXT and fix
REBOOT INTO RECOVERY
then go to flash any ZIP (if you dont reboot, the rom file will not be seen correctly)
flash the rom
Fix ext again just in case
Reboot and leave the phone alone for a few mnutes.
EVERY phone is different. Some take 2 min some take 10-20 min
But if you have flashed properly, the best way to know is the shimmer on the HTC will continue to flow and not stop.
Sometimes it will fade, sometimes the noti bar will appear for 5 min then boot...
Just have patience and try.
EDIT- You typed while I was typing, It sounds like then maybe that card is bad then. If all works with older card, then the flash may be bad on the newer card. may want to return it unless you have other uses for it.
Just to add a strange twist to this. Just reformatted card so it was all Fat32, wiped, and flashed 4.0.4. Everything went fine. What on an SD card could crash Apps2SD?

Possibly the upgrade from ext2 to ext3. Thats why I like to do mine in Ubuntu. Format the card using linux for a linux phone.
Decided to go a step further and go back to parted and resize fat32 and add a 500mb ext2. Rebooted and it fired up and shows the ext2 in the settings screen.
All that and it's not even Halloween yet. I'm going to try to flash 4.1.11.1 just to see if i can break it again
I'm sending it back. wiped flashed 4.1.11.1. Got to setup screen but everything force closes. com.android.phone, com.google.process.gapps, com.android.setupwizard.
Skipped wizard.

no service connection ever made so no account sync.
time to email newegg and try this again

lol.....you give up quite easily.. those problems arent related to the sd card (they are on your /system partition)
try to reflash your rom and repair ext partitions then fix_permissions in recovery
hmmmm.....got card #2 and it appears to be the same case....boot loops. i can't believe that 2 sd cards would be bad only when it comes to apps2sd.
got adb running on my work pc and uploaded a log of the fail
again, everything boots just fine (just booted king's new 1.0) with my lexar class 2
updated logcat - 1st one was when i couldn't get off of the g1 screen.
this logcat is of the bootloop. any help would be great
How do you access clockwork recovery on the nook? Does the 3 button combo work? Is it different if you are running a rom off of the sd than if it's run directly off of the nook?
You have two options:
If you're booted up you can go to the Rom Manage app and select Reboot In Recovery Mode.
Or you can shut down by pressing power button and then on screen shut down button.
When your NC is completely off press and hold Power and 'n' button simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
It took me two hours of searching to find this answer. Hopefully this thread will come up in search results
Thank you, I was wondering this also.
neither method seems to work for me unfortunately. Both just end up booting normally.
Are you sure you installed CWM? From RomManager you need to select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Also, I'm not sure how having an active system on an SD card will affect this process. Are you booting from eMMC or SD?
I don't mean to thread steal (hopefully i am just providing more useful information if my question/problem is answered).
When I boot into clockwork, i get can't mount SD card. Therefore can't install any themes as the themes are on the SD card, is there something I am doing wrong? I think I reformatted my SD card to be fat32 and not NTFS, does this matter? It seems to be able to read off the SD card when I am fully booted up.
TIA

I was having the same issue after flashing the eMMC install for Honeycomb from the dev forums. I ended up going back to CM7 but when I tried to install the new Clockwork Recovery (3.0.1.0) using the manual method it wouldn't work and just kept booting strait to CM7.
To fix it I first restored the stock boot img from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353
After that I put in my bootable SD card and flashed the cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
That fixed my boot issues and got recovery working, after that I could flash the image I wanted using a non-SD recovery.
Before doing any of that it would probably be a good idea to toss in a bootable SD card and doing a backup.
I used to have a 4GB class 6 Micro SD Card. One day my phone crashed and I had to remove the battery in order to reboot. When I reboot, the SD Card is damaged and I had SD-Ext with alot of apps on.
I then got a 2GB class 6 Micro SD Card. Today the same thing happened.
I'm using FroyoByLaszlo 5.2 and I want to know if there's a solution to this problem (as in, stopping the phone from breaking my SD Cards - they must be reformatted before they will work now).
i am not sure if thats a genuine warning.i get it all the time every time i reboot,i just think thats cos i dont have an ext4 partition.all i do is remount the card
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk
I have Ext4 partition though. And if I attempt to launch an app (they usually have the default app green logo) it says 'Could not launch the requested activity'...
same problem here, with froyobylaszlo, did you find a solution? thanks

ok... thank you very much for your help.
I was wondering if the reflashing worked for more people? I reflashed like 3 times now and it still pops up.
Before when I switched my apps to the SD card, they died there and didn't work anymore. Otherwise it was fine (except with that annoying notification that would never leave).
Now I have formatted everything like 4 times and still no luck. This all happened after I got froyo by laszlo.

did you un partition it?
you need to un partition via recovery (set swap and ext values to: 0mb)
then remove from device, insert to pc and re format to FAT32
now do wipe of everything(flash superwipe) re partition your sd card than re flash rom.
Recently i bought an 8gB class 10 sdhc card. Put it in my phone it was working fine. I copied all the files from my old card exacty as they were mounted the card again and the phone says the card is damaged and reboots all the time.
I put it in a friends samsung galaxy3. The card worked fine and all files were there. So obviously it has to do with my phone.
I'm using gingerdx the latest version with stock kernel.
I'd appreciate all the help you could give me guys. Thanks in advance.
try to format your sdcard (backup fist)
don't perform quick format..
still can't try format using phone..
then make a partition..
on developer forum we have a [guide] how to partitionning sd card
Nothing. I tried what you said I even reflashed my rom and worked it with no extra apps but phone still restarts when i try to move an app to the card.
I don't know if it's significant but i noticed that: I went in cwm and tried to mount sd-ext and I always got an error. Tried to format it again error.

do not perform any activity in cwm regarding sdcard it is not compatible,even format sd ext it will give you a result of damage sdcard for some rom or your current,resulting to reformat your sdcard,now backup all your files to pc,reformat your sdcard through your phone,unmount sdcard t then erased sdcard,then back your files...Hope it help...
Go to advanced in cwm and go to fix permissions. See what that does for you.

Guys thanks for all the replies. Nothing seems to be working though, phone keeps rebooting. Might just be a faulty sd card, but that would be the second in the row.
