I've a problem changing rom from cyanogenmod to any other rom; if I flash the new one from clockwork I've a boot loop, with all the roms I've tried.
The only thing I can do is go back again to cyanogenmod or flash the whole stock rom, loosing all internal sd card contents, and then install the new rom; but I've to root the stock to install clockwork again.
I hope anyone can understand my bad english, sorry.
Please help! ;-)
Byez.

Did you do the three wipes before installing? What cwm version do you have installed? The new one with the touch interface would only install MIUI and nothing else for me. Every other rom caused a bootloop. Reverting to cwm 5.0.2.7 solved it for me.

in CM /system is EXT4 but stock/some other ROMs use EXT3, so reverting to stock via a nandroid (something I've tried & seen fail) or flashing a ROM thats updater script doesn't format the partition to the type it needs will fail as you'll just overwrite the contents of the EXT4 partition & have a kernel that only supports EXT3, hence bootloops
There a flashable zip files that just format /system (and other partitions too) to whichever you need in one of the stickys in the development section, have a look in here & do some reading in those threads to see if this is the problem you are having or if I'm way off base
as with everything, backup before you mess with it
(I'm pretty new to the P990 so could be missing something)
Tnx, I will look for the script and I think the problem is just the ext4.
Thanks, I will let you know. ;-)

This script will convert your system & data partition to ext 4 filesystem
only use it when your ROM / KERNEL supports ext4 filesystem ! Read description carefully !
example for use :
use it when you try out MCR ROM FR19 (you have to convert to ext3 before) or CM (will auto convert to ext3 when installing) and want to revert back to your older backup (FR18 for example)
restoring your backup in CWM recovery will restore your data but will not convert your filesystem back to ext4, that´s why i made this zip.
so, if you plan reverting to your backup (which supports ext4), simply apply this zip in recovery & restore your backup afterwards ;
back_to_ext4
------------------------------------------------------
This script will convert your system & data partition to ext 3 filesystem

If you have been using a EXT4 ROM and you want to restore a stock ROM that only has EXT3 support, it's a bit of a faff. Introducing BackToEXT3.
This ClockworkMod update zip simply converts your /system and /data partitions back to EXT3. It wipes them both in the process, so you need to have an existing backup / ROM to restore to.

example for use :
use it if you are running an ext4 ROM at the moment and want to revert to your stock ROM or CM backup. (which both only support ext3 at the moment)

Anyone know if the CM7 (offical) kernel has support for EXT4? Then we could use this to convert from EXT3 to EXT4, right?

I used this backtoext3 in order to return to my nandroid stock rom v10d backup.
Restore completed, but then on boot, it stucks on the 2nd LG logo (one with blue statusbar underneath it).
Am I missing a step here?

I'm working on a universalEXT4converter. It will convert your filesystem to ext4 and edit your ramdisk (works on every rom). Currently not working and I can't bugfix it (because erm something went wrong hehe ).
But will be ready soon and p999 support will follow too

you have also changed baseband to newer version , perhaps that´s the reason ?

Well I'm running the latest Slick2x-G which is CM7 and I've tried a new kernel (Morfic's EXT4 Trinity Test Kernel) from OP of this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067939
Converted to EXT4 with CM7 and it seems to be running ok, not having any problems, battery life not too bad either.
One thing I was wondering though was I was to wipe and put a different CM7 based rom on without the above kernel would it automatically convert back to EXT3?

i tried titanium backup pro but came out with losts of bugs ....
please help
You can do a straight upgrade, however you will have to flash Vorkernel straight after (or other EXT4 kernel/converter) as CM7 is EXT3 and wont be able to read /data until you do.
how do i do that...
i use the kernel auto updater....
Flash from recovery.
use CWM recovery.. fully wipe cache/ user data/ and dalvik cache..
What? No need to wipe.

Your /system won't be, CM reformats its to EXT3 on install. Run mount in the terminal and see what it says.
Hi,
Sorry guys need to ask. I have checked out the forums and i think this hasnt been asked before. Again sincere apologies if it has.
I am using an incredible s, just got it s-off and rooted and was about to flash Android Revolution HD from my sd card.
As part of the process I had to flash 4XT recovery which I have.
I just need to check, whenever I go into recovery is says the following :
"You currently have some EXT3 partitions ->If you wipe/format. I will use EXT3 You can however explicitly wipe EXT4 by visiting the "ext" <-> ext menu
If you are on an EXT4 Rom, you may want to conver the partitions to EXT4. Open the ext3 <-> ext4 menu to do that"
I know I will have to flash a wipe file before flashing the new rom.
Do I need to do anything to address the details above or can I just contiune as normal?
Sorry my first time tinkering with an Android phone.
THanks
You should wipe and convert all partitions to EXT4 before flashing the new ROM.

Thanks, the wipe will be done through flashing the file "Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe" am I corrent?
Also, how do I convert the partitions? I read some threads where people bricked their phones by playing around with the Partitions on the SD card. Not sure if this would mess me up as well
Any insight?
You don't have to wipe or convert! Just flash super_wipe.zip you mentioned, it will do everything for you. It cannot be easier
Thanks, it worked perfectly, running Android Revolution HS with the sense 3.0 all in one patch

mattiadj, hi!
What did you mean by saying "corrupts my EXT3 partition.."?
Please, explain for me. If it realy true - i think i can help you.
if it bug in sources, i can path them and recompile for us.
I have 32 gb sd and i need 1gb ext partition.
What i have did is:
Advacend
Partition SD card
Ext size 1024M
Swap Size 0M
Then wait for partitioning.
Now i have my sd ext partition is correctly created.
If i made a full wipe (factory reset) which also format sdext the fs of ext being corrupted!

theres your problem.
only use minitool partition wizard to create your ext3.
by using recovery cwm it won't work. its a many tried and failed way.
so resize sd card to allow 1.2gb unallocated space.
format 1.2gb unallocated space into ext3 and select primary.
apply each action seperatly. takes around 5 mins to complete.
use and sd card reader in your pc to do this
I have flashed 5.0.2.6 and now no problem with formatting sdcard with recovery in ext3.
I have take this version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478678

ok thats fair enough...your problem with ext3 will still exist.
cwm creates a swap drive. the scripts we use doesn't work with a swap drive...even set at 0, so all that work is for nothing...
if you want a working ext partition for the salsa, you have to create it in mini tool only......if you don't and create in cwm...you'll be walking around for days trying to get this to work!
ive stressed so many times for all you guys...you have to follow the ways setup....i know i tested it all out! i wouldn't be sitting here saying...don't make it in cwm if i didn't know what i was saying.
this version cwm is fine.....no problems what so ever.....you need ext3....goto the development forum here and see the advice given
recovery 5.0.2.8 has a problem with restoring sd-ext, it won't.
it will backup but not restore, reverted back to 5.0.2.6 and its fine on restore
I flashed Reincarnation for GT-S5570I as steps and it didn't boot why???
Accually, I really don't have 10 posts to post on our fourm so i think you could help me.
Right?
Did you wipe? Most people say they did everything and they don't wipe. And are you using CWM or stock recovery? That's another mistake people often make.
I wiped factory data and data partition and using CWM v.5

Sent from my GT-S5570i using xda app-developers app
Are you using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649487 recovery or which?
And the text at installation can say anything, it's a matter of changing a line in the updater script. You can make it say Galaxy S5 and work on s5570i.
I think just wiping data isn't enough. You might want to wipe everything like /data, /cache and /system.
Also (this is important), remember to mount all partitions before flashing the kernel first (wiping /system probably removes the kernel, just in case) and then flashing the ROM.
In the installation it says Galaxy Y GT-S5360, but the necessary porting has been done so it is safe to flash for our phone. You can edit it not in the updater-script but in some txt files related to the Aroma Installer.
