the guide worked great.
it's gone to 1.15, is it safe to do the OTA update it's asked me about? it won't remove root? or more importantly trash my desire?
** i did search on the root thread about apps2sd but it refers to using linux (which i dont have)
i did have a look at the nimbu root guide, which includes an addition to add apps2sd, but it's for an older boot loader .75 and i'm on .80
can i just follow that or do i have to flash a new rom on there?
basically, i'm happy with 2.1 really till the official comes out, just badly need a2sd.
thanks guys

If you do the OTA update you will lose root, so therefore lose A2SD.
Why don't you just install a custom 2.1 rom with A2SD already in it?
Rolf can you post some roms with apps22sd with sense please i have bbeen looking but i cant find any apart from modacos
This is simplze.... its been rooted correct? Download ROM-Manager(on the Market), flash the Clockwork recovery(its the only option by default). after that is done. go to the option PARTITION SD, choose 512 for ext, and 0 for swap. It will put the FAT32 first and the ext second as required for the A2SD+. THEN Go and download Modaco mcr3.1 rom (it is based on a stock rom, with HTC Sense) You get all the goodness ROOted fone and extras from Pauls ROM including built in A2SD+

Hi, I've rooted my phone earlier, and have tried a bunch of different rom's - in all this going back and forth, my bootloader has been upgraded from 0,75 to 0,80
If i now put this Modaco rom on my phone,and then when there is a OTA from HTC can this be installed on the phone (i know the rooting dissapears) and my phone will be unrooted and like out of the box?
Regards from sunny Denmark

thanks.
i presume to get apps2sd+ ii need to go through the online kitchen?
would rom manager let me flash this one?
e.g Pays-ROM Desire Sense v2.0 Dalvik+A2SD (RockSolid)+(BraveSoul OC)[06/06/10]
ok, i tried that rom in rom manager, and selected to clear cache/data. it reboots,but i get a drive image with a '?' above it. tried twice and no joy
am i missing something obvious here?

I did exactly this and I'm very very happy. The extras include A2SD+, WiFi Tethering, Wavesecure and much more.. best thing I've done in the past few days
Hopefully this weekend I will do something interesting that doesn't involve my phone.. oh except it will cos I'll need to use it to take pictures, phone people and find people and possible provide a portable WiFi hotspot if the need arises lol!
I just flashed a new rom on my evo and my question is do i need to flash apps2sd or can i just install the app so i can install apps on the sd card
I could be wrong but in order for ap2sd to work the update-script has to be changed to enable ap2sd.

If the ROM has apps2sd built-in, you should be able to just partition your SD card and have it start working automatically. If the ROM includes an older version (like Fresh 3.3.0.1 does), you may wish to flash the new version of apps2sd before you start using it.
If the ROM doesn't have apps2sd support, it takes more than just flashing apps2sd to get it working.
im using myn's two point two rom
I recently moved to CM7 and S-OFF. I used the alpha-rev method and flashed the CM7 hboot
Seeing the new Leedroid GB rom, I figured I'd give it a try. So I did a full backup, wiped everything, flashed the stock Hboot from Alpha-rev website, then flashed the Leedroid rom and... BOOTLOOP.
I then tried version 2.4, and same thing.
Following this I flashed Redux, which was nice but slow and I was able to confirm that I had 148 Mb of internal memory...
I then redownloaded Leedroid 3.0.5, thinking my file was perhaps corrupt, and still nothing...
I even tried restoring an my old CoolSenseHD 9 nandroid, which passed the splash screen, but looped at the boot screen.
Any ideas??
I had a similar problem. Go into CWM and format system, data and cache.
Well I'm on Ra-desire-v2.0.0 recovery, and when I do full wipe, it formats everything... something I've done about 10 times in the past 2 hours...
Any other ideas? Is RA somehow incompatible with sense? Should I switch to CWM with fastboot?
EDIT: I've managed to get a stock rooted rom to work... So why not LeeDroid???
i think your recovery is outdated, this can cause bootloops, something to do with your recovery version not able to handle new updater-script.
so update your recovery, you dont have to remove current one, just get the fake-flash.zip of any new recovery (clockworkmod 3.0.2.7) put it on ur sdcard, then in AmonRa select to flash the fake-flash.zip file and it should boot up CWM. then wipe all and flash the ROM.
other than that make sure you have correct partiton layout on ur sd (ext needed ofc) and obviously, correct hboot table.
I tried flashing the latest CWM, then wiping everything and flashing leedroid, but no luck. Then I tried putting AmonRA recovery back, and I tried once more, but still no luck. Then I tried flashing the latest Gingerbread MIUI, and that worked like a charm....
So that rules out my recovery being outdated, and I did flash the latest Radio, so that's good too... I really can't pinpoint the issue, but regardless, I'm really liking MIUI, so that's good I guess.
And as for partitioning, my SD card had a 500MB EXT3 partition for Leedroid, as specified on his page, and my partition table was set to Stock Bravo. I reflashed that Hboot about 4 times just to make sure...

As I said, I had this exact problem and solved it by formatting system in CWM. I could flash certain Roms like redux but not leedroid.
AmonRA does not have an option to format system, just wipe which is different.
But even with CWM, I couldn't do it...
I'm guessing it's because the boot.img is too big in the leedroid GB rom, and you have corrupted blocks which limit the allowable size or something. I have that problem with my Desire with certain roms.. which really sucks. Maybe it's because we have Telus branded Desire's lol....
Well I don't believe the Telus Desire is branded (no telus bloatware like other phones, no logo or anything)... I mean I never had to make a gold card, and I haven't been on stock since december...
I just find it wierd that I used to be able to run Froyo leedroid (version 2.3d), but now that I try and flash 2.4 (also froyo) or 3.0 (GB) I have no luck
Have you tried using the RUU to get stock ROM, use Unrevoked and then get the LeeDroid version you wanted?
Are you trying to load htc sense roms on cw7 hboot? Of course it won't work, there is not enough space for the rom.
^If you read my posts, you would know that I have not been using the CM7 HBoot, but the stock Hboot, which is why I was able to load a stock rooted sense rom.
The thing is, I'm afraid to use and RUU because Telus didn't modify their roms in anyway, so carrier RUUs don't exist, yet the phone is locked to Telus... I haven't created a gold-card yet because I haven't had to, yet I feel as though an RUU can jeopardize all of this.
Hey guys,
So I got bored of the Rom on my Desire and tried a new rom with Sense 3 on it. I also flashed recovery to latest version and Hdboot to CM7 R2 and also latest radio. I also repartition sd card in recovery and converted it to 512mb.
However phone is always stuck on S-off splash screen and goes no more. I have tried two roms now - same story.
Im out of ideas - anyone can help, please?
Did you wipe before flashing?
Punched in..
Before and after, yes.
Maybe I must use GPart to partition the card?
yes You should Gpart to partition youe SD card
When your recovery supports partitioning sd card, you can do it there as well.
Furthermore make sure you flashed the CM7 version of the rom you want to flash.

Okay so I partitioned the SD card using GPart (512mb ext4) and rest Fat32. Wiped all data, flashed cm7 version of the rom I want on there and still same issue.
Please help - completely stuck now.

Which rom do you want to flash? I am pretty sure because it's a sense rom you want to flash 512 MB ext4 is not enough. Check the roms corresponding thread.
Trying to flash Cool3D Sense V8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
But now I changed from CM& R2 boot to Stock boot (Think this was a bad idea..) and it still didn't work, so I loaded CM7 R2 Hboot and its on - but when I try flashing anything in recovery - roms - it started for 1 sec then just goes back to last menu - no errors..
What have I broken now?
Please help
Appreciate comments so far!
Thank you
Okay - I have got it to flash again via recovery. I have increased ext4 to 1GB. (Should be enough?) and still - it won't boot up the Rom. Really wanted this rom!
So, I will just have to go back to sense 2.1 Can I just load the Bravo Sense Hboot from AlphaRev 1.8 and flash a normal non CM7 Rom afterwards?
Thanks guys
How long do you wait? First boot can take up to 15 minutes.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
It's still not booting. Changed Hboot to the above one - flashed normal Rom and it stays on the S-Off screen. I have waiting longer than 15 mins, too.
I did flash a boot fix file from the Cool3D thread via the FastBoot v1.51 software on my pc - I think this is why Desire is no longer booting though?
Where do i find a orginal boot file or one that will reverse that fix I did?
Thanks for your help.
Just want my Desire running again - sigh.
Please post the thread's link you are talking about.
Hi,
I have a PT4 SLCD-Desire. Was normally S-ON with modified CWM recovery. Yesterday I went S-OFF with revolutionary. I tried several recoveries: CWM 5.0.2.0, AmonRA 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 and RMD 1.0.3.4.
Have an 16 gb sd card with 1 gb ext3 or ext4 partition (depends on ROM).
I can't boot any ROM with Sense 3.x, either with stock hboot table nor with cm7/cm7 r2 table. I get stuck at the splash screen. I attached the logcat files for three ROMs (Aurora, Cool3D and Ace3D).
What I've done so far:
- tried another sd card
- partitioned sd card with gparted and with recovery
- tried sd-ext alignment
- tried another kernel
- flashed RUU to be S-ON und unrooted. S-OFFed and rooted again with revolutionary
- do a full wipe of course before flashing
I am no on InsertCoin 1.1.4. Everything works fine so far. But I want to use a 3.0 ROM What's wrong? Could you help me, please? Thank you very very much.
Could be a bunch of things. Usually it's because all files didn't go onto a specific partition (like everything not going on /system). Could need to wipe cache and dalvik cache (usually works for me). Pretty sure there is a solution on these forums somewhere. You're not the first with this problem.
Could it be a problem with busybox? InsertCoin in principle works but hangs sometimes. Wanted to copy a file to /etc/init.d/ by terminal emulator as I did many times before -> didn't work.
Tried to update busybox. Didn't work. Rebooted: Stuck at splash screen!
Or something is wrong with permissions...? RMD Recovery has no options to fix permission. Will flash CWM and try this.

Try the simple steps, make an 1gb ext 4 , get cm7r2 hboot, keep cwm recovery , do a full wipe before installing another rom

I did that serveral times with several cwm versions.
Edit: It boots!!! Tried CWM 5.0.2.3 and it worked. What I did before flashing the ROM was mounting the partitions.
Hi,
me again with the same problem. Before was on MIUI and ICS ROMs but as I bought me myself a Galaxy Nexus and gave my Desire to a friend I wanted to bring a Sense ROM back on the Desire.
I tried six different sense ROMs, four different recoverys, formatted complete sd card and partitioned new, tried ext3 and ext4, cm7/r2 and stock hboot. No chance. NO HTC Sense related ROM boots, logs look quiet similar, will post one later.
Any idea to get a Sense ROM booting?
Did you try 4EXT Recovery already? Give it a shot. And try not to use that sd-ext alignment zip if you are still using it I had more problems with that than good. Besides, 4EXT recovery aligns it when you format ad cards with it.
via xda app
Yes, 4ext recovery touch was one of them. Tried with and without alignment zip.
Downgrades to Froyo (RUU), rooted and S-OFFed again and installed a Sense ROM, didn't work. Attached is the logcat.
And here is the install log:
how did you make the partition on the sd card ..
use minitool partition tool ... search the forum you will get the guide ... I had faced the same issue and found that I need to have atleast 1Gb of ext4 partition on SD card to have my RSK ROM working ...
Tried with gparted and CWM and 4EXT recovery. Will try another sdcard, too. Thanks a lot.
Also, you need lot of patience ... you need to wait around 10 min on boot first time ... it will keep on blinking then ... remove the battery and insert again ... then try to boot and wait ... it should come up...
But I already see in the logcat that it is on bootloop. It doesn't even pass the splash screen. Cyanogen and MIUI pass this faster. And I waited more than 10 minutes, pulled battery, wiped only cache, flashed several times without wipe - none did work.
