I dont have Market, and if im honest i have no idea what to do
Can anyone help at all please ?
Thanks
Phil
Would i be better just downloading the 2.4 rom and trying that ?
How will i know that the ROM is installed correctly as like i said before it just seems like a new phone i got straight out the box ?
thanks
When you flashed the ROM did you do a full wipe? and Dalvik Cache too?

Honest answer , dont know
i think i rooted it correctly using Revoked, or it appeared like it did
in the software info on the phone it has this which to me means nothing but to someone it will
android 2.2
kernel version
2.6.32.15_leedroid_2.3 [email protected] # 1
software number
LeeDroid_V2.3d
Can you help ? thanks
That is a successful flash mate by the looks of it. Of course you lose all apps and settings after flash, and as far as I know leedroid is a sense Rom, so it looks very similar to what you got out of the box, but now you can mod it and flash different kernels and scripts, like data2ext.
Oh, and regarding market, just search for market apk and install it the way you'd install any app.

LeeDroid looks and feels like a stock rom but with added extra bits, and speed.
you can overclock or underclock with setcpu run rooted apps.
the good thing about LeeDroid is that it looks familiar so it's a good starter rom to play about with. if you want something other than sense try a Miui rom or Redux.
Ive got 2.4 now but i have 2 issues
1. the market force closes when i select an app
2. when adding the htc people widget it lists no people in where they usually
Thanks
Now my SD card is saying Mounted Read only ?
any ideas ?
did you make an ext partition and a full wipe?
I don 't have any issues with this rom
Yes and i just tried to go back to delete and redo a new partition but its not showing only my pc is ???
i just reset it and now im getting the leedroid background i wasnt getting before , ive had to setup everything back from the beginning , facebook passwords etc
market is now working but im still getting the mounted read ony error
Either corrupt card or bad partitioning. Just partition it in recovery and search for ext align tool on Baadnewz blog. Google is your friend.
If partitioning doesn't help, try different card.

ok sorted that last issue but how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.47gb
and on the internal it only says 129mb
why is this ?
What was the fix for the last issue? If you don't provide full info we won't know where it could have fine wrong.

tinky i partitioned it as you said in recovery but then i couldnt get past the loading screen with the joker on it aftwerwards
So i went back into recovery and i had to do a restore that was the only way i got it working and the memory card issue also vanished
Now its working properly should i backup my current ROM in ROM manager ?
what else do i need to do to make sure i dont **** it up in future ?
Also how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.46gb
and on the internal it only says 116mb
How much space you assigned to ext? Also, not all roms support ext4, so if you did use align tool, then quite possibly that your Rom just can't see ext partition. Solution, partition again but this time don't use align tool which will convert any ext partition to ext4.
Regarding not loading after partitioning that is sort of expected, restore done the trick for you. Regarding not getting into this situation again, once you get it right just use recovery to do nandroid and ext backup, and keep it safely on pc, in case you need to change SD card. Then you just partition new card and do restore.

Anyone having issues on the latest Leedroid 2.4 with apps that have been updgraded from in-app billing?
Have one app (quota) which is now disabled due to the fact that the upgrade is now in progress whereas it worked fine on 2.3d.
The app dev suspects it is ROM and market related as other stock ROM users haven't had the same issue.
Hi Everyone
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as I’m a total Noob!
I have an HTC Desire on the Orange network in the UK. I started to get a few problems with my phone shutting down and restarting, my GF’s brother had been recommending that I root and flash a different rom for a while, and seeing as he has a Desire on the T-Mobile network and had never had any trouble with rooting his phone or any of the roms he used I decided to give it a shot.
I followed everything in Linkslovesandroid’s noob thread found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
I first tried CyanogenMod7 on GF’s brother’s recommendation, worked ok for a bit but I had problems with constant shutting down and restarting over and over again, is this called bootlooping? The only way to stop it was to remove the battery, even then it was no guarantee. Other things were going wrong like the screen freezing, certain buttons were unpressable etc.
I gave my phone to him and he couldn’t explain why such weird things were happening as his Desire experienced no problems at all. He suggested I try something different like GingerVillain. GV never loaded or booted up for me, I wiped data / factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, installed zip from SD, the rom would then install okay but when I rebooted the phone never ever got past the Alpha Rev S-off screen. This happened when I tried to install GV 2.5 and 2.6, I see that 2.7 has just been released but don’t see the point in trying seeing as the other 2 versions wouldn’t work.
I then tried Oxygen, again, worked ok for a while but started giving me random shut downs and restarts. Once I was driving down the motor way using sat nav software and the phone just shut down! I had to find somewhere to pull over to restart the sat nav software and again it restarted itself! Lol!
One day my phone went into an endless bootloop, no matter how many times I took the battery out the phone just wouldn’t stay on, I had to flash a new rom just to get the phone to fully boot up! I went back to CM7 but have the same old problems, so now I’m using MIUI and I’m still getting shutdowns!
What is wrong with my phone? If anyone has any ideas what I might’ve done wrong, or whats causing problems please offer your suggestions! I don’t really like the sense Roms, I’d like to try GingerVillain but I could never get it to install! I just need my phone to be stable enough to know I can send an SMS to someone without it restarting! If you need to know about Kernels or radios or anything please just ask me (and tell me where I can find out!) Like I said, I’m a noob when it comes to phones!
Same kind of problems here. Random restarts (no shutdowns) on various roms, including the original stock froyo. Happens mostly while installing stuff from the market.
Any ideas?
Sounds like the motherboard is faulty/hardware error. Send back to repair. Usually the kernel can cause problems and OCing (restarting), but you said, that it happens randomly on every ROM, so that means it is more likely a hardware problem.
I had this too, same symptoms sent it back to HTC, duff motherboard, back in 14 days and all working fine.
Only thing is it got reset to original contract so had to pay to unlock it and then root etc.
But well worth it!
Hi Guys
Thanks for your replies so far!
So is it likely that my motherboard was faulty all along? I used to get random restarts sometimes when I was on the sense that came pre-installed on the phone, but nowhere near as often as I get now I've rooted and flashed new roms.
Is it possible that I've damaged it in some way? That could get me in some trouble because when I rooted I'd have voided my warranty, if I send it back to Orange as faulty now they'll know and could pretty much tell me tough luck!
I've heard you can unroot and put your phone back to how it was, but they'd still be able to tell wouldn't they?
Has anyone ever sent a phone back for repair through Orange UK?
Thanks again for your responses so far guys!
For me it turned out that the SD card was corrupt in some way. Repartitioned and reformatted it, and this does help for now. Might try that first, before sending into repair.
Good luck!

I agree. If you have system files on your SD and if the SD gets corrupted you might get the result you've described.
That's interesting, the other night when I had such a severe bootloop that I had to flash a new rom just to get the phone to fully boot up, it only booted after I'd removed the SD card.
To begin with I was very happy because I thought I'd solved the problem and all I'd need was to buy a new SD card, however a short while later it happened again with no SD card inside at all!
I decided to give Ginger Villain another go hoping that removing the SD card after "install zip from SD card > reboot" would allow it to boot up, it didn't. Never got past the alpha rev screen.
How will I know if I have system files on the SD card? Should I maybe try the G-Parted stage of the noob guide again to reformat the card and create the ext-4 partition?
Thanks again for your time and help by the way!

If your rom requires an sd-ext partition than it stores system files on the SD. Try a rom that doesn't require that. I would go as far as bringing the phone to stock just to verify if it's the phone or the SD. Bringing it back to stock is a requirement for you to return it for servicing if you realize that it's a problem with the phone not the SD.

Hi Paul, is it only stock roms that don't store system files on the SD or can you recommend a rom that doesn't require an ext partition as I'm not too sure what I'm looking for? I realise that I'll have to unroot before I can return the handset but if there's another custom rom out there I can test before unrooting that'd be good!
However, if you fully recommend returning the phone to stock to test then that's what I'll do!

This ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896213 doesn't require SD for system files.
I'd first try the complete stock rom with a completely formatted SD card. You can be completely sure that there isn't a software problem with a custom rom.
If this doesn't work, try replacing the SD card. This did help for me.
If still no succes, send it for repairs.

Thanks for linking me to that rom.
I did a bit of reading about roms that use ext sd partitions and have so far concluded that its for A2SD so an entire app can be run from the sd card instead of internal memory.
So anyway, I've just installed the Redux rom you linked me to that doesn't store sytem files on the sd, first 2 boots had a sudden shutdown and restart! I'm on the 3rd boot now, it's holding okay but I need to put it through its paces to see how long it can go and what sort of performance it will allow before it starts shutting down on me!

Hi Reynard. If the Redux rom I've just flashed (less than 10 minutes ago) doesn't use the sd for system files, then if it keeps rebooting on me would that diagnose a faulty motherboard as reliably as using a stock rom?
I'm gonna unroot and flash a stock rom soon anyway, that way I can be sure before I send it back to Orange for repair, although apparently there isn't an official Orange UK stock rom available so I'm just gonna have to get as close as I can and hope they don't notice!

Haha! Me too!
Dayamn! I didn't have a reboot all day on Redux, got home from work and installed Sygic sat nav software and the phone rebooted 3 times just while downloading the map! I had to remove the battery once as well.
Decided I'd just test Google maps navigation while driving to pick up the Mrs from work and it shut down on me
If I can get hold of another sd card to test I'll see if it makes a difference, but there's not really a lot more I can do now other than unroot and send it back to Orange. The strange thing is that it never used to reboot half as much on the stock rom the phone came with, and it never did it while I was sat nav'ing ever. It just used to happen randomly when I was texting or web browsing. Odd.
Where might be the best place to find the closest to stock rom for Desire Orange UK?
Just wanted to update you all.
I found my original SD card that came with the phone, I fully formatted it and then did a completely fresh install of Redux and performed the same tests and got the same results. Still crashed and rebooted! So that tells me it's the phone and not the card!
I'll be restoring to stock and calling Orange tomorrow to get a replacement / repair.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out along the way, your time and effort is very much appreciated!
Hi guys,
I made a goldcard and tried installing the stock ruu, it seemed to work but when I hold vol down and power on it still says:
AlphaRev
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
I read on the Alpharev website that recent versions of Alpharev aren't overwritten by stock ruu's hboot so it must first be downgraded. I used android flasher to flash the Alpharev downgrader, then it just froze at the "why so serious" screen. I was advised to flash the stock bravo hboot found on the alpharev website, which I did and then I was finally able to install the ruu. Obviously I've done something wrong and I'm guessing its flashing the stock bravo hboot...
Would it be okay to use android flasher again to run just the downgrader image, and then using fastboot flash the ruu again?
Any ideas? I don't want to risk sending my phone back for repair still saying S-Off!
Okay, I kept reading through XDA and found a post by Dzumagos advising someone to do exactly what I just asked, use Android Flasher to run the Alpharev downgrader image and then reflash stock ruu, so I grew a set and tried it myself!
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.001
Voila! I'm now back to S-ON, so now I feel I'm ready to call Orange and tell them about the constant shutdowns and restarts, which have still been happening on stock btw, the phone also feels really hot too!
I just hope the replacement they send me is issue free!
Thanks again to everyone who helped out in this thread and in the orange uk ruu thread!
Cheers everyone!
Here's my first ROM. It's based off TMoUSA stock rom, but I tore out all of the HTC junk I could and rooted it.
1)Wipe everything by going to CWM (alquez's version). Clear Data, then go to Mounts and storage and format boot and system there too.
2) Next install the ROM from zip.
3) without rebooting, go to CWM and install Melethron's data2whatever.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867049
Then reboot. If you get a white HTC logo page, reboot and clear cache and dalvick cache and data. Let it boot.
Try this a few times if it doesn't work the first time.
I boot with 459mb out of my 512 partition free. 18mb used.
This is running important system files from your SD so I'd suggest using a quality SD card and backing up your system regularly. Don't worry about class of card if you have a quality card like SanDisk or Kingston. They are plenty fast enough.
Thanks to:
Tara Tike for all the time testing the removal of these apps.

Thanks alot...totally love it!
I have run into a problem though...only one, mind! I cant seem to get my 3g data connection going. My wifi is grand, and my gps appeares to be working...but while my 3g says its connected, it isnt.
No doubt a simple problem, but i am lost. I flashed this on with cwm and no problems whatsoever(although i created mahor problems earlier by accidentially wiping a system and formatting the sd card so i had nothing to boot into! Somehow managed to get CWM back on after trial and error)
Any help gratefully appreciated...surprised i am the only one? Was using CWM rom but had the same issues with both wifi and 3g turning on and off wothout warning..
I'm guessing this one will not work with virgin either? Hey thehumble, I am also in possession of a xtc chip in Philly too! Didn't need it though.
I'm pretty sure this won't work for virgin. Not sure but I think you should probably cook your own based on your stock rom. I can show you how or you can follow the guides.
well my XTC is in NYC right now and the dude hasn't sent it back in 2 weeks so I'm getting upset. There are other people out there that need it...
also: none of my business, but what did you hope to accomplish on a CDMA phone with a SIM-based unlock tool? he he he
Hi,
I've got a Sony Xperia Arc S phone, unlocked bootloader. I've tried the following steps by starting from the stock rom, from different ICS roms and so on. It makes no difference. Here we go:
I've tried installing both ParanoidAndroid and the FXP 133 through 136 both with the instructions provided. The kernel flash works, the ROM flash works, I do all the necessary wipes beforehand (Data reset / factory, wipe /system, dalvik cache, and so on). I've even experimented with the order of these that I do in case I was ****ing something up. Nothing helps to deter the problem I'm about to describe.
The problems start once I come to any screen that is actually in the ROM. The touchscreen just fails to work. It doesn't recognize any input from me. It doesn't register touch input. Hard key buttons work, and so does the power button so I know the system is not frozen. For instance, when my SIM card was still locked, I would get to the PIN screen but would be unable to enter my pin code. After I unlocked the pin card, the initial 'set-up' screen (Language --> Gmail account etc.) does the same thing. You simply can't press any of the onscreen stuff. The problem is solved if I flash back to stock or any other rom.
I've found a very temporary solution for this problem. If I take out the battery and remove the SD card, then reboot, the touch screen works perfectly and so does the rom. If I reboot the phone without the SD card, the touch screen fails upon next boot. I can repeat the process with the SIM card. Something has to be removed, so it's not just the battery being pulled out that's doing it (I've tested).
What could be causing this? I've trailed the FreeXperia, ParanoidAndroid and Cyanogenmod forums and bugtrackers as well as these forums and the mods' respective threads to see if anyone had the same problem. I've found nothing.
I really want to install a JB ROM on this phone but this problem has had me with my hands in my hair for weeks now. I've decided just to install an ICS build for now so the phone is usable. Any help would be appreciated.

Do note that when I reboot the phone with the SD card OUT OF IT (after removing it) the problem re-occurs. So I thought that would leave the SD card out of the equation? It's just: removing once, starting the phone --> it works. Reboot phone right after that --> stops working.
I'll try your solution but please consider that information. Thank you.

I would try going back to the original stock OS and see if the problem persists and take it from there....
Oh the original OS works fine. All ICS stuff works fine. I've tried Ice Bean and stuff like that. Everything works fine except (it seems) CM10 based stuff, jelly bean.
Don't worry, again: I have no issues with flashing it back to stock or to something else. The phone itself works fine except in the aforementioned scenario.
I've had my Inc2 since 2011 and have flashed different ROMs more than I can count.
In the last 2 weeks, I keep getting SD Card was removed messages.
I reboot and its back. I figured the SD Card was dying on me...
Since then, I've switched to a NEW SD Card and am having the same troubles, but more frequently, like everyday.
In fact it took and hour to get it to work again yesterday.
Anybody know whats going on?
I'm running the same ROM I've had for months, I've used a couple different ones over the weekend to see if that was the issue... It's not.
I've cleaned all the contacts and blown our the SD Slot.
Is she dead Jim? or am I missing something?
Have u tried using a different rom?
If u installed the original SD card incorrectly on the same rom maybe it's remembering that?

Assumed that you've already saved contents on your mSD card, wipe it clean on a PC/Mac/Linux OS (Fat or Fat32) then put it back on the DI2,
boot into recovery - wipe dalvik & cache, REFORMAT the mSD card - then boot up normally.
What Rom are you running? If above steps still do not work, try a Master Reset from the Rom before doing a Clean & Fresh Install of the Rom.
Keep a watch on error messages on the screen as you do all these & post your results, good luck !

Been Runnin Miui for the last year. No changes on phone.
SD card acts like it was pulled. Have to poweroff and remove battery to have it back.
A reboot into recovery still doesn't give me access to the card.
I've also tried different SD cards with the same results.
Anyone reading this with this problem, try returning to stock recovery and rom with the pg83.IMG(I think that's the name) and try doing a factory reset in stock recovery. My SD card works after that

Yeah that's about what my problem was. Usually if you go for about a day without an SD card in, it will most likely recognize it again. If not, I could usually tap the back of the phone on a table, down near the bottom where the SD port is.
If that still doesn't work, you'll have to fastboot flash the return to stock image
My theory on this problem is that after flashing Roms/s-off and messing with stuff eventually corrupts some part of the filesystem. You might also try following the guide to unroot and s-on to see if that works, though that will be a little harder.
Flashing the ICS firmware didn't help.
Guess I'll have to try going the long way around...

Well Then...
Got the PG32IMG factory restore... that was a wash. Got everything but s-on done... and upon getting through the setup... SD Card removed unexpectedly.
So had to use ADP and FASTBOOT to get a recovery installed and back to square one.

Did you try doing a factory reset with stock recovery though?
I've read about some people with roaming problems on their HTC one, and flashing the stock recovery back and doing a factory reset fixed it.
Sooo give that a try if you haven't already
Edit: that probably sound un related but maybe after messing around with HTC devices they get mad and sabotage themselves haha. But seriously though. I messed around with the return to stock image a couple months ago, and I could get it work for a very short time, like you experienced. But just the other day I entered stock recovery mode from bootloader and it started doing a factory reset on it own. After it started up it recognized an SD card when I put it in and i then fastboot flashed a custom recovery(not cwm or twrp can't thnk of the name) then I flashed the andromadus mimicry ICS ROM that was still on the SD card and right now I've been playing music off it for about an hour and it seems to be fine
