[HELP][Half-Solved!] No Internal Memory.

ZathuraPL · Mar 29, 2014

Sup!

The problem is, that after i install ROMs via NAND+ext i cannot simply use it, because after rebooting it shows htc logo and then screen goes black.
I used only NAND roms before, because my sd card always failed to create an EXT partition on it.

But idk why, few days ago i noticed that while wiping, it didn't skip EXT partition like always, so i created one via TWRP recovery and tried to install some roms on ext.
I've done several full-wipes etc, but always it succeeds with installation, and then it goes black screen on rebooting.
What can be the problem? I thought it might be boot.img-related, but same thing occurs in 2nd rom i try to install.
I don't want to go back to old NAND rom, so if you guys could help me out, i would be really happy.
I spent several hours looking for a solution, but no positive results..

Also, i had a problem in trying to reanimate my phone via Fastboot/ADB; simply because i don't know how to proceed from bootloader to fastboot to get my phone connected with pc commands...

I tried to flash this and that ROMs.

Regards!

you could try;
changing recovery (eg 4ext), i always seem to have trouble with twrp flashing sboot, 4ext works ok
increase sboot or boot size
format ext4 with 4ext recovery
not used fastboot much, there is a tutorial here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
hope this helps
if not post your setup, partition sizes etc.

Thanks for reply Robbie!

Firstly, i cannot find 4EXT recovery to flash it straight from PC :/ Any other recommended recovery's?

Secondly, not sure if i understand sboot and boot resizing correctly.

Also, when i flash TWRP for example, in config file when i change system ya[/B ] to 280mb is it enough? I mean, when i change size via HD2Toolkit, it automatically applies CWM...

flash it using existing recovery

in later versions of clk you can easily resize your partitions, sometimes increasing boot partition may solve booting problems.
eg black lk from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/n0aa6qv88t3n1sv/black_lk_20130506-Ex-TWRP_2_5_0_5.zip
extract it, browse to leoimg.nbh using hd2 toolkit "install custom NBH/NB RUU" and install.
Then flash 4ext using the included recovery.
Profit?

Never thought of going to CLK though

Okay, i have clk now.

So i need to put 4ext zip into SD card throught TWRP usb plugging, and then install it straight from twrp?

Update!

I flashed 4EXT, althought i had strange code message after flashing it:

Code:

Writing recovery partition... 
All done. 
Updating partition details... 
E:Failed to mount '/system' (MTD) 
Partition details updated

Anyway, it seems to load w/o problems

Whats my point... i noticed, that i have ext2 partition on my phone, not ext4.
Can it cause black screen problem?
What to do now?

(So many questions..)

~EDIT~

i used built-in partitioning to get EXT4 partition, then installed tytung's rom again, ofc succeed etc.
But after reboot i see htc logo for 1 sec, then black screen ... sigh

Okay, but... how to...get it ?

so, what are your partition sizes, nand and sdcard?
remember, if using nand with data on ext, you can afford a huge 350mb system partition or more since your data (apps and stuff) is on your ext4 sdcard partition.
Please provide details

Here it goes!

recovery 8
boot 5
misc 1
system 235
userdata 157
sboot 10
cache 5

+ i have 2gb ext4

SlimRom requires about 210 system partition, so i set 235.

htc
...

SLIMbean
...

so far it went past htc logo, but it keeps showin me SLIMbean animation

humm..

~EDIT~

i went to setup wizard, but it kept crashing. I forgot to flash gapps as in thread...sigh.
wiped system partition, flashed gapps, and now booting.
Hopefully it will get to work now!

edit2:

htc logo for about 5 minutes already

EDIT3:

i fully wiped phone, reflashed rom and gapps, it booted (waited like 15min though), but i have some strange problems with going through setup wizard again.
Mainly it stops working after few minutes, and it launches again and again. Sometimes i make till wifi/gmail sync, but for example it keeps obtaining wifi for like minute, in meanwhile Calendar Memore stops working... then it freezes, stops working, and from beginning...Once i made it through Google GPS localization.

The ****...?

ZathuraPL · Mar 29, 2014

Okay, after wipe and reflash, i faced same situation, but not sure why, Setup Wizard after 10 minutes of struggling allowed me to finish setup :highfive:
I still received "Calendar Storage has stopped working" every 10 seconds, so i cleared cashe of it in settings, seems to be solved.

Now, the only issues i face are:

- my phone shows me no internal storage at all...
In settings > apps, Internal storage bar is all grey without any numbers, also i cannot even update Nova Launcher because of insufficient space.
It would be quite sad to have my phone finally working, but with no storage to install basic apps like facebook, etc

-as i want to reboot my phone, it popped Setup Wizard again... WHAT THE!

Please help me with these problems...! :laugh:

EDIT:

i googled ''a bit'', and tried to copy busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin, but i see no positive results..

ZathuraPL · Mar 29, 2014

Problem has changed.

Another update, but now quite positive.

After reflashing Slimrom and tytung's one over n over, i tried to flash tytung's 4.2.2, well, it succeeded.
Now i have 1,2gb of internal free memory, and it all seem to work flawlessly.

No idea why previous 2 roms didnt work 100%'ly :/

I think i won't do anything now, i am happy to have 4.2.2 features now, after 1 years of being stuck with 4.1.2

Anyways, big thanks for you Robbie. You are my life-saver once again!!!

Have a good night y'all, yawn

###EDIT###

Rom runs smoothly, i have 1,2Gb of internal memory, but my Google Play tells me "No connection. Retry" everytime i open it
Which means i canno't update/download anything.
Tried clearing cache,data,force stop,reboots, still no profits >.< im not into factory reset again though..

_____ EDIT _____

After wake up, around 1 hour of previous usage, i had black screen... rebooted -> Setup Wizard (although no errors or fCloses, only again no internal memory

)

it sounds like your ext4 partition (/data) is not being recognised.
Since you have to reflash, try deleting all partitions and format whole card with official formatter, then set up your ext4 partition again, use recovery to format it.
Try install again.
What is your sd card make, and class?

hold on, gonna plug it through 4ext and try to format

Will edit when im done
_____________________________

Done formatting

Also created 2 ext4 partitions (who will forbid lol) 1,5 and 1gb.
Now will flash SlimRom and gApps, i will update again as i get some new info

about sd card? umm, i think it's SanDisk, but what class... i don't remember.

UPDATE.

I hope that system will survive the night without problems..
Everything runs quite good, i have problems with syncing contacts, but i think i will bypass it.
I connected to Google Play, i have 1,2 Gb of internal memory, so this is positive.

One problem is that when i try to install apps from GPlay, blue bar keeps running infinitely... like something blocks apps from installing.

Gonna try uninstalling GPlay updates, maybe it will help..

Will update again tomorrow!

UPDATE.

Nope.
Again, after about an hour, system started cutting me off more and more processes, so i rebooted, and then i had infinite Cyanogenmod boot animation...
I think im gonna try freaking 4.1.2 with DoE or Nand...
This sd card makes me wanna break this phone into puzzles

PACman 1.2 doesnt work with Ext , but on NAND i have only 197mb of free internal storage after fresh install

I wish i could increase this
