Root ROM Manager error message

[wynn55]

Every time I get on ROM Manager and go to download ROMs, I get an "Error processing ROM list" message. How do I fix this?

 

[Crash89]

You cant. We all get that same message.

No big deal, just download the rom you want to your phone.

 

[wynn55]

Huh... that's a pretty huge error. Thanks

The only rom that has been available for the ally in rom manager is Velocity .2.

I believe that the hosting location for the rom changed. It just has not ever been updated in rom manager. That is the reason for the error. Rom Manager looks for the rom, but cannot find it.

all the roms for the ally can be found here:

Roms

Installing a rom directly from rom manager causes issues. First and foremost, you dont get the option to clear dalvik cache which is extremely important to the process. Unless that is fixed then i wouldnt recommend using it. Amon-ra is a much better recovery.

lol i posted the same thread like 3 or 4 days ago

Thanks for all the info, guys. I'm downloading Velocity v0.4 and I saw that it said that wiping the sd:ext was mandatory along with some other things. Whenever I wipe my phone to install a new ROM, it always says that wiping the SD card partition was skipped and the phone is unable to do this, then the phone gets stuck at the boot animation. Anybody know what's up with that?

In ROM Manager, there's an option to flash an alternate recovery called "RA_GNM Recovery v1.2.5"

Is this Amon-ra?

Yes It is
I however recommend version 1.2.4

Sweet, thanks.

Anybody know about the whole "not wiping partition" thing?

 

[wynn55]

The error message I get when I try to format sd:ext is this:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File extsts)
Error mounting /sd-ext/1
Skipping format...
Done.

Any idea what /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is/does?

You get that error because Rom Managers Clockwork recovery doesn't ever mount the sd-ext partition correctly. Your best bet is flashing the alternate recovery as stated above... it really will save you a lot of frustration and hassle. Rom manager is a good idea in that it is very automated, but it is not suited for roms with ext partitions (required for apps 2 SD to work), and doesnt wipe dalvik cache without going into recovery manually. I hope this helps

So far from other Rom Manager users and dev's that i've talked to the sd-ext problem is only for the Ally and not other phones (that i know of). So Rom Manager/Clockwork isnt recommended for the Ally if you plan on using apps2sd .

I am getting an error when trying to flash RA_GNM in ROM Manager. Any idea?

Try flashing this from clock work.

"An error occurred while flashing your recovery"

This is when I tried flashing RA-GNM from ROM MANAGER.

 

[wynn55]

So in Amon-ra, how do I get to the whole boot menu thing like in Clockwork?

Turn phone off and then hold power+menu+send till you see the LG icon pop up.

Or download app called quickboot. Hit the Recovery option.

I recently tried to flash Damage Control Rom 5.3. In Rom manager I am unable to down load damage control as I get an error and none of those Roms show up. I got my hands on a Damage control Zip, followed all the steps dalvik wipe etc, booted into recovery and it goes half way and stops saying its done but gets stuck in a reboot loop. What I noticed is I can only flash Roms that are down loaded by Rom Manager directly. I can not flash any Rom just from the Zip as most claim. Do you have any ideas?
By the way I have a HTC Evo and I am running Rom manager Premium. Really hope you can help, thanks.
