Dumb question : prepare a new SDCARD for a fresh new install

Hello,

I just bought a 6Gb SDCARD and I would like to prepare it in order to effeciently do a fresh install CoolV2

From my undestanding, I have to create a FAT 32 primary partition, and at least an EXT4 partition on the SD (I do both operations using Gparted on a linux box)

Then, from my Pc, I copy the zip files to flash on the fat 32 partition

I boot on the recovery and I select the files to flash.

Is it correct ? Do I miss something ? Because, when I do this, the recovery does not recognize the SD and don't manage to mount it.

Thanks for your help ....

Seems that my EXT4 partition was too big > 2Go and that this situation is a showstopper. I created a partition <= 1Go and it works now.

Which one is faster? data2ext or app2sd? (class 6 card)
[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
I've never done such a thing before - but will take a look around. I guess you're talking about this one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819985

By the way, I now used parted via adb shell to create the partitions (following this great description: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4098568&postcount=1) but that doesn't help with the bootloop either. Maybe the kernel does, we'll see...
[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
kluzik1 was right. By flashing Ziggy471 Bravo kernel with hybrid adaptive voltage scaling (HAVS) and brain **** scheduler (BFS) from here: http://www.ziggy471.com/ I was able to boot into CoolZ v2. No more bootloop.

Does data2ext work with v3 the same way as with v2? I'd love to try v3 then.
[Desire Android Development] Nitin985:
Will data2watever work on this Rom
[Desire Android Development] CrisisCorE:
data2ext data2sd

What exactly is the difference between data2ext and data2sd??
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
yes all roms r same... so no prob. at all...

data2ext if u have good sdcard... i've tested on class 10 card...;)

works fine here... try to re-flash ROM.. without wiping...

don't know did not test yet...lil busy schedule.

hmmm...

data2ext

@ALL

Note:

Some mobile stuck on htc splash screen, Bcoz of kernel, Just flash ur favorite kernel after installing the Rom... some mobiles does not support all kernels.
[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
Just tried v3 with data2sd setup. Partitioning via AmonRA.

It doesn't work and goes into a bootloop if I don't flash the Ziggy kernel as well. With Ziggy kernel, everything seems fine so far.

I have no clue about the inner workings, but something tells me that v3 maybe should be packaged with Ziggy's kernel?
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
RCmixHD data2ext requires 1gb ext, 0.3mb for next ext and then 0.1mb swap. If we use swap here as well, it will be better? And, which one is better, data2sd or data2ext? :D
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
My question now :p.

The align ext4 partition zip does it really need to be done? Or can we just go ahead and flash the A2SD ROM and use it from there?

*Edit*

Also when do you flash the alignment zip before or after the ROM install? I take it you do it after because of the possible problem of killing your sd card partition?
[Desire Android Development] Prema:
Woohhooo!

Just installed the V3 Z ROM, it´s flying fast! :-)

Just came in the right moment, THX A LOT !
[Desire Android Development] netomx:
Let me check it, thx, with the normal rom, i dont have this behaviour.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
I did not test my Rom's with swap... coz its slowing down the card speed...

Data2sd not tested by me...so no comments...

Alignment-ext4.zip format ur sdext with correct alignment... so its recommend...but if u don't want it than forget it...

Flash alignment.zip b4 installing the Rom... but first backup ur sdext coz its format ur sdext....
[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
Argh, I followed the data2sd description from BlueVD that is now featured in the first post and it doesn't mention the alignment - so I forgot it. I would suggest to include it in that recipe as well!

How much of a difference does it make for data2sd anyway?
[Desire Android Development] Mr Guerra:
Hi, I got a newbie question: after the "Data2ext Setup (A big thanks to ownhere) [...]" procedure in the first post, has my SD card been partitioned? :confused:

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] BlueVD:
Well I didn't aligned the partitions anyway. Presumably it's speed related (I think), but my desire is still blazing fast! PS: I've also got a patched version of sqlite :) but the system is super-stable & fast. No fc's, no lags, no problems.
[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
No, you have to partition it yourself first, then follow the instructions. I've been struggeling a lot with this - but in the end the problem was not the partitioning but the kernel.

There are many ways to partition the card

Use a recovery like AmonRA or Clockwork

Use adb to connect to the device from a computer and partition by running a script or entering the commands by hand

Use a partitioning software on your computer. General wisdom is that you should use GParted on a Linux machine (you can create a live CD to boot a live Linux without installing it)

I would recommend the GParted approach. You can download the Live CD here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
What kind of initial boot times are you guys facing? I've pulled my battery twice now after 10min of waiting for first boot...

EDIT: 3rd time lucky...booted up in 2min...
[Desire Android Development] ascot17:
I am on third boot. Battery pulled twice so far. Have tried a new kernel each time but no luck yet.

Did you change anything before successful boot...?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
I'm going to try D2W. Can someone attach libsqlite.so from robocik's The Z ROM v2.0, please? I have slow Internet connection.
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
i don't get it.

I'm on HDv2 now.

v3 requirement says:

Full wipe required.

EXT4 partition For A2SD, No swap.

Align ur EXT4 partition with...this (thanks to melethron)

than it says:

Cool Z v3 (New Users Full Wip Recommended, Old Users Just Clear Dalvik.Cache)

but i am on ext3..

so i.m a new user now?

do i first use the ext4 tool?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
EXT4 is recommended, not required, therefore you are not new user.
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
thnx. that's a clear answer.!

going to install now with just clear dalvik cache..

yippie... don't have to set everything up again

and yes i know... nandroid first haha
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Yeah. I was using AmonRA Recovery before for FULL WIPE but that did't quite seem to be working so I used ClockWorkMod fake flash (3.0.5)...put CWM recovery as update.zip file in SDCard root and flash the zip to boot into CW Recovery Menu. Then I went to Mounts/Storage menu item and formatted SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE. Flashed Cool HD and all went well. But caution that I am S-OFF and was running Oxygen with a custom Oxygen HBOOT before so I needed to flash HBOOT for Stock Desire first...
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
first great flash! tells you what it is doing. says updating older version... COOL

damn!!! boot loop...

tried other kernel.. still the same

flashed over HDv2 with wipe of dalvik cache (a2SD ext3)

any ideas??
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
hmmm strange..

tried a full wipe and a clean install of HDv3.

Still bootloop

going to DL again. maybe dl is corrupt somehow

i'm using CWM 2.5.0.7. could that be the problem?
[Desire Android Development] kongo09:
I had bootloops the whole day and yesterday. Ziggy's kernel solved it. See my posts above.
[Desire Android Development] ascot17:
After several hours of trying this evening, I am unable to get Zv3 to work.

My efforts so far are as follows (coming from Zv2):

1) Nandroid backup

2) Wipe dalvik cache

3) Flash alignment-ext4.zip to convert to ext 4

4) Flash Zv3

Result = Stuck on splash screen (over 10 mins before battery pulled)

Tried ziggy kernel. Same result.

Tried coutts CFS kernel. Same result.

Tried to restore nandroid backup. Got error message 'use nandroid-mobile.sh restore via adb'.

Restored backup via adb. Rebooted. Result = stuck on splash screen.

Then tried a new approach with a brand-new class 10 sd card:

1) Partitioned card with GParted live CD (FAT32/ext4/ext4)

2) Flashed Zv3 ROM

3) Flashed flashable_data2ext.zip

4) Rebooted

Result: Stuck on splash screen.

Tried ziggy and coutts kernels with same result.

I have now managed to restore my last backup as follows:

1) Gone back to my original sd card

2) Repartitioned with a single ext3 partition using Amon_RA

3) Reflashed Zv2

4) Restored nandroid backup.

So after about 4 hours of work I am back where I started and a little confused....!!
[Desire Android Development] themoviesss:
Finally got HDv3 to work! :D

after suck a bootloop

did a nandroid to HDv2

wiped dalvik cache

installed v3 again

then wiped dalvik cache again

reboot

and YES, rebooted normally

all my apps and settings were there

and now on v3.

now lets see if its better than HDv2 ;)
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
about cool Z v2 (now trying to move to v3)
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
Cool_Z_v3 doesn't install.

I did the following:

1) full wipe thru recovery (factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, batt stats)

2) installed ext4 align from zip

3) without rebooting, installed z v3

4) ---> had bootloops.

5) rebooted into recovery, flashed coutts cfs kernel.

6) ---> stuck on Green HTC logo screen for over 30 min.

Retried everything thrice. No luck.

HELP!
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
You do realize that flashing alignment-ext4.zip will completely wipe your ext partition... ? Use following steps:

1) Nandroid backup

2) Complete wipe

3) Flash alignment-ext4.zip to convert to ext 4

4) Restore Nandroid

5) Flash Zv3
[Desire Android Development] shakaw:
I spent about 4 hours last night trying to get this ROM to work.

I've tried both coolZ and coolHD with all the following combinations

apps2sd & data2ext

ext3 and ext4 partitions

several different kernels

All combinations resulted in bootloops.

Finally I ran alpharev SOFF, after I did that the ROM installed with no problems with apps2sd

Can't get V3 to work...

I have been using hd v2a which i thought to be amazing... But after installing v3, the phone seem to go into a bootloop.. I even tried the Delvic Cache wiping after the installation and doing full wipes.. etc etc but nothing. I wonder if the previous kernel was working for me in the hdv2a.. then how come the hdv3 is not working for me???

Can anyone help me.. Did Coolexe move to some other kernel in hdv3?

BTW @Coolexe. amazing ROM overall, I would use your rom over RCHDMIX or RC TOUCH anytime or anyday :)

Also add the boot loop issue. Applied couttstech-2.6.32.28_OC1190_HAVS@875mV_CFS_BFQ_SLQB after intalling the ROM and its working fine.

Never had an issue with any kernel so I suspect the V3 kernel is possibly broken.

This looks like the next ROM for me.

I am unsure, however, of the differences between the HD and Z versions. Can somebody try to elaborate the differences/pros/cons?

Also, while I partitioned my SD using ROM Manager (512 + 0 GB Swap), I get the hint I need to tweak the partitions a bit first... which tool should I be looking for?

Sorry for being such a noob. :confused:

i say couttss CFS non HAVS kernel works best without any issues or bootloops.....
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
z rom sense rotates... and it has bigger font in messages app ... like normal desire froyo rom....

HD rom sense home screens dont rotate.... and their messages app has smaller font....

about ext partition..... just apply partition script before instaling rom. do full wipe before that .... and after install of rom at first boot if you get bootloop..... download couttss cfs non HAVS kernel and install.... bootloop should go away than

Most of all, I would prefer to flash something that work at first try SO, I will wait for the V4 :)
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
I see well you should do quite fine than :) and yea if you prefer staying with a Rom for long periods of time I say go with leedroid if you prefer stock sense and go with coolexe Rom if you prefer HD or z Rom .both are pretty solid and stable for day to day use without the need of constant flashing .

Also do keep in mind that if you like HTC flip clock with actual flipping and animated weather on screen awake as it is there in z and HD ROMs you should keep in mind that they work best with static wallpaper . If you love live wallpapers than either change that clock to analog one . Or use stocl Rom like leedroid :) as stock desire Roms don't flip ....

And work silky smooth :)
