Go back in your sd card and make sure the rom files are there. Its possible that u placed them in the internal memory so check both

Hey hi thanks i was using Flash CWM 4.0.1.5
but then i try
Flash CWM 5.0.2.0 and i was able to flash it.
thanks for the reply.

Did you download the rom using your phone or PC... reason I ask is if you used your phone to download the rom its saved in the download folder... I use my phone to download my roms...also if your promise on the external SD just choose install from SD, if its on your internal SD then you would choose install from internal SD... there's also a download folder on internal SD .. you can check there also...

4.0.1.5 is set up to use the internal memory. You can only flash from the internal pseudo "sdcard" and any CWM backups will be stored in the same internal memory.
5.0.2.0 lets you flash from either the pseudo internal "sdcard" of the "external sdcard." But when you do backups of your rom they will only be stored on the external sd card.
Use 5.0.2.0. It is better and more versatile in my opinion but you need an external sd card to fully utilize it.
Also, I wish people would stop misusing the term bricked. A true brick is a phone that does NOTHING when you press the power button. I did this once to an A71 variant phone and the phone was very dead. The condition you have is more like you "borked" your phone. The phone powers on so it is not dead, so it is not bricked. Plus as long as you can get into recovery I would not even consider your condition a "soft brick." A soft brick is when the phone is borked and takes extraordinary measures to revive it, but it is still fixable. A better post would have been "My phone is messed up. Need help reviving it."

Your title is fine, is has the word "maybe" in it. He's just one of those people..

help with darktremor a2sd

i really don kno how to use the a2sd on fitdroid v2.0
can someone plz help?

Dude, ull first have partition your sd card. Then only u can use darktremor apps to sd. To partion your sd card, go to recovery mod>advanced>partition>and then select the size of partition. Atleast 512mb of partition is recommended.
After doing that,reboot ur phone and now a2sd should work without any issues!
Feel free to ask if u still have any problem

IF U WANT DARKTREMOR A2SD TO WORK THEN U HAVE TO PARTITION UR SDCARD.
TO PARTITION FIRST TAKE BACKUP OF UR SDCARD AS IT NEEDS TO FORMAT UR CARD WHICH WILL ERASE ALL UR SD CONTENT.
IN CWM MENU GOTO ADVANCED MENU.
SELECT PARTITION SDCARD.
SELECT SIZE U WISH(512 or above) AND SELECT 62 or above AS SWAP VALUE.
WAIT FOR SOME TIME AND RESTART UR DEVICE....
TO CHECK A2SD WORKING OR NOT GOTO APP DRAWER MENU AND OPEN A2SDGUI APP AND CHECK APPS ARE ON SD IS ENABLED....
if it is active, you can move the Dalvik cache to sd card by selecting the Dalvik cache on SD-EXT and press Move button and reboot phone
sory for my language

tried that, did not work

hi, i tried all of this as you mentioned...
eventually, this darktremor a2sd stopped my apps from being moved at all and it kept on saying that i don't have enough memory... though i know i should have... any thoughts??

Okay, a question from me...
Is it possible to have this swap setup in the stock gingerbread rom (ddkq5)???
Can anybody give a step-by-step tutorial, or maybe just a link, along with a list of all the necessary apps/other stuff that will be needed..??
I have a 16gb memory card in my galaxy fit...

I run Creed´s ROM 1.5 and there is also Darktremor included.
I thought SD was automatical formatted with ext4 by installing it. So I am a little puzzled to see, that moving to SD does not work as well as swap option.
Could you tell me, what is the matter?^^
Edit: Found out by my own, followed the same steps as mentioned above for FITDroid. Works on Creed´s ROM 1.5 as well. Only Disadvantage I found was it reduces my 8GB SD to 4096MB (couldn´t select higher at CWM) also after moving Dalvik, system boot seems to loop .. had to recover (good I did before )

[Q] How to partiton sd card from CWM Recovery?

Okay, so, I want to flash hephappy's Cyanogenmod 9 (which looks amazing, btw you should check it out) which requires partitoning of the sd card. This is exactly what it says:
-Partition sdcard: swap-size: 64MB, Ext2-size: 300MB, Continue partitioning, SD:ext2 to ext3
So, I already know this means I have to move the contents of my sd card to a computer if I don't want its contents to be deleted. But anyway, how would I do this through ClockworkMod Recovery version 5.0.2.0? Also, for this ROM, is it completely necassary to paartiton my sd caard, what will happen if i don't, because I don't really need apps on my sd card.
Thanks in advance

It's not necessary
Will run perfect without it. If you want to use swap just use an app that creates a virtual swap on your sd.

Wait so your saying I don't even need to patition my sd card? Also, what does swap mean? (lol)

CWM doesn't give you option for creating a partition of 300mb,it gives either 256 or 512 mb.better use amonRA recovery or 512 mb partition.In order to partition first of all BACKUP all the data of your sd card then boot into CMW then go to advanced then partition then create partition then enter the given values of swap and memory.then wait for a while then you are done!! the memory card will be formated too so copy back the backed up files

I also suggest you better use amonRA it partition is really needed then because according to above required requirements,amonRA recovery fulfills it exactly.you can partition 300mb,with swap size 64 mb and upgrade from ext2 to ext3 in that recovery.

I did this yesterday successfully... Backup ur six card data before u do this, cos it gets erased. In Cwm, go to partition sdcard, select ext size 512(doesn't matter if it's not 300) thn swap size 64. After success, reboot phone, install link2sd, run it, allow superuser access, select ext 2 wen it asks, reboot, open link2sd, goto settings, and select automatic linking.
Voila.. U are done!!
Works on my phone. Tested...

[Q] Help Me to Use Data2Ext in IcySnap v1.6 ROM (neko 95's ROM)

Hi....... :fingers-crossed:
​
I guess everyone here have known about the Great ROM called ICY SNAP (thanks to Neko for that such great ROM ). :good:
But i miss the tutorial how to use the Data2ext Feature on it ?
First of all.. Before using a data2ext we should have a partition on our SD-Card, isn'it ?
So that we can use that partition to use the Data2ext and move our app/data.​
My question is :
1. How to create a Partition on my SD-Card with the safest way.
2. And after we create it, what should we do next ?
3. I read from the Icy Snap Thread notice, we may activate the Data2ext via Terminal Emulator Command. And after i do the 2 step above, may i just activate it through it ?​
Thanks in Advance for your great Help and Answers. :victory: :angel: ​

Boot in recovery mode. Now select "Partition sd card", Next select Partition sd then set swap size= min 64MB(recommended by neko), Set ext-size= As you want and confirm thats it.
But backup your sd card before bpartitioning since it will be formatted during the process.

[Q] Install Custom Rom

Hi i am a newbiee..I am using a already Rooted HTC Pico Secondary partition=2gb (done while rooting),32gb card class 10 card running on stock ROM. But wanted to install a custom CM10 rom.. I have download both the Rom and Gapps from the forum links.. But unable to complete the Installation process on my own.. Please help...
I used the free ROM manager from play store. I completed the first step of making the recovery using the Rom manager but will installing the rom something went wrong and phone was stuck in the boot logo so i rebooted the phone and restored it... after restoration my entire Secondary partition was left blank. I opened Link2Sd to view the partition its shows 2nd part not mounted... when i click on recreate mount scripts and select the fat format that i used for it it shows a error msg as "Mount scripts can't be created Mount:Invalid argument". Please help me installing the ROM and make Link2 SD work. Also i want a secondary partition to stay at 2 gb. :angel: what should i do to complete the process safely using the ROM manager?

Create ext partition of card. Not fat32.
Put ROM and gapps in card. Wipe everything everything except SD card. Flash ROM. Flash Gapps if needed(cyanogen).
Wait on first boot.

Your recovery(the official recovery by Rom manager) doesn't support ext partitions.
Change recovery.
Everything should work.
