Hello,
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on an HTC Desire device, with S2E extending the internal storage to the SD card.
As I was facing the "Error 492" in Google Play, I saw a good solution was to wipe the Dalvik cache. So did I.
But now, after the usual HTC logo, I get the Cyanogen animation looping (the round is turning for a few seconds, then the screen becomes black and the animation restarts).
I tried to remove the battery and try again, no way. Also tried to mount sd-ext from the recovery, still the same.
Any tip ?

Hi,
I am using CM9 beta 8 by maclaw and team with a 32gb ext card formatted as follows using CWM 5
4gb sd-ext
1gb swap.
I also am using the d2sd script by ungaze.
I have about 500mb worth of files in sd-ext.
Sometimes when my phone is on for too long or when i open and close too many apps it will reboot randomly, and if i decide to turn it off, wipe cache and dalvik, it will just boot to a black screen and even after 2 hours its not booting..
Can anyone help me?
EDIT:i found out that the cam wipe dalvik removes the link to the dalvik as well, so when the kernel boots it loads the dalvik from the preset location in the NAND, and when it cannot find it, (due to the init.rc not running to link it, init.rc loads AFTER this process), it will not boot.
I had to do a nandroid restore and used adb to manually cd into the dalvik-cache and rm * then it finally booted.
But sometimes even after clearing the dalvik, the phone will reboot randomly into the CM screen and back again.
Any ideas?
Hello!
For some reason I am having some major trouble when I'm trying to install UltimaAOSP v1.1.1 [Valhalla] on my i9300. I have been running UltimaRom v15 for a long time now, but it has been acting up lately (the photo sphere function in the camera crashes every time it's launched and the "system UI" crashes when i try to enable the GPS), so I decided to try out UltimaAOSP.
I have followed the install instructions exactly, wipe data/factory reset and unmount cache. I have tried with and without installing GApps.
PROBLEM: When i restart the phone I can barely get past the sim password screen before stuff starts crashing (contextprovider, phone and one more that i can't remember), and It just keeps crashing over and over so I can't really do anything. When It's left alone for 30 seconds or so it restarts the phone and everything starts crashing again.
"Extra" stuff i have tried:
- Wiping cache partition
- Clearing dalvik cache
- Moving the .zip-file to the internal sd card and external sd card
- Installing V1.1, got exactly the same error(s)
I am currently using CWM 6.0.4.6
Please help? This Is driving me nuts!

Try a full wipe format in mounts and storage format the following: format/system, format/cache, format /preload, format /data, warning this will leave you without any rom so make sure you have one ready to flash on your Ext SD.
Because you are not fully wiping it is leaving files behind which interferer with your new installation (short explanation)
Also I would recommend Philz recovery which does all this for you (it as a option to wipe to install a new rom) :good:

That fixed it, thank you!
So I bought a new SD. I copied the contents of my prevoious SD to the new one using minitool partition magic. After turning the phone on, it wouldn't boot past the slimbean logo. So I removed that SD card and put the old one back in. Same thing. Cleared cache and davilk and not it goes past it but gets stuck at "starting apps". What could have happened?
Tried wiping cache + davilk + fixing permissions, no luck.
Edit #1: Sorry, the question form didn't save the "This is a question post" tick after I previewed, I hope that doesn't mess up things.
Edit #2: I should also point out that I backed up everything previously, so I don't care about saving any data on the phone, I just want it working again...
Edit #3: I keep forgetting some small details, the phone wouldn't boot even when removing the SD card.
Hello,
Two days ago I decided to try the SD Link feature from Link2SD on my Galaxy S2, because I was tired of running low on internal storage space when I had a 32gb SD card just for photos.
I was only linking games and other apps that were not important to the phone's normal functionality, but on 3 our 4 occasions Link2SD would hang on the linking process and I'd wait 10 minutes before force quitting the app each time. This wasn't causing any problems, until the last hang. I restarted the app and saw that it couldn't compute any of the other apps internal size. So I rebooted the phone and got stuck on a boot crash.
Sometimes the boot would go beyond the Samsung logo and into the Cyanogenmod loading, but the phone would shutdown before leaving that screen.
I had CWM on my phone, so I tried a bunch of stuff:
to wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
wipe cache
reinstall Cyanogenmod from a zip (either from internal, sdcard0, sdcard1, and even Odin)
After so many attempts, my searches started pointing me to the fact that some system files could be bad, so I tried:
format /system
format /data
I didn't format /boot but it's reaching the point that it's the only thing I haven't tried.
So next I used Odin to flash back to stock ROM, and in the process lost CWM.
Since that didn't work, I flashed a stock Kernel too.
I should point out that the phone was working perfectly before this Link2SD mess, and also that each time I flashed with Odin, I would get a glimpse of the app optimization process, that would reach around 39 of 42 apps before the phone would shutdown.
I'm running out of ideas and search keywords.
Please help.
Thank you for your time.
Whenever I boot up my phone, it goes through the samsung screens and it gets stuck at the T-Mobile screen. Previously, My SD card caused my phone to reboot, but i formatted my sd card and everything was fine. Now, even if there is no SD card, it gets stuck at the T-Mobile screen. When I tried to format the cache partition, it would look like its clearing the cache, only to show an error screen for about 5ms and reboot. Also, If Possible, I don't want to format my phone. Thanks!
