Partitioning the SD, Changing the Recovery Image... I'm getting nowhere.

I've searched and read guide after guide and I'm getting absolutely nowhere. I have tried to partition using ADB, I have tried to partition using a new Recovery image but I can't even change it.
Am I the only person who is having this trouble?
Can anyone see where I am going wrong....
Phone was modified using unrevoked3 and has Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 on it.
I have downloaded the SDK for windows package and extracted it to C:\Android I then run CMD in administrator mode, go to the directory and type 'adb shell'... works fine so I then disconnect and then type 'adb shell reboot recovery' and I get 'reboot: no such tool'. I have also tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode myself but when I try to connect to it via 'adb shell' it tells me there is no device (It shows in the device manager just the same as it did before). Screeched to a halt there.
Next I thought I would change the recovery image to "RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5". According to the comments in the thread I can use unrevoked to install this image. I run the program select the image, plug the phone in and away it goes. After 10 mins of it saying "waiting on root, you can safely reboot" or something like that I gave up and took the battery out as nothing was happening.
Where am I going wrong here? I am only trying to get an EXT3 partition onto the phone so that I can put the apps on there and having it run faster.
This is a VERY brief runthrough of what I have done. I have been searching for about 10 hours in total, reading guide after guide and trying to follow them. I don't even get past the first couple of steps and there is an awful lot of wrong and old information out there.
Oh, as a side note. Is there any way to have the OS boot up in 10 seconds like Sense on the desire z?
Thanks for any help, I'm at my wits end.

if you r rooted download Rom manager from market and select partition SD card
secondly u can get fast boot if you flash the hd Rom in Android development section

'adb shell reboot recovery' written in only one line leads you to nowhere, you should open the shell with 'adb shell' and then issue the command 'reboot recovery' (never used that last one so I don't know if it works).
Appart from that you should do what is said in the above post, just download ROM Manager and partition your SD from there (you will need to go back to clockworkmod, but I think you don't need to do unrevoked again since you are already root)

Thanks a lot guys. Will give this a go tomorrow.
Sounds so simple too, can't believe the way I was going about it.

if you have a cd rw on your pc, just download the gparted live cd ....... its awsome

i'm also struggling with this...also followed the methods OP has posted and getting no where..dont want to use ROM manager because i want to have around 1/2GB space for partition...ROM manager only allows a maximum of 512mb

Worked flawlessly, I can't believe how much searching I done and the answer was so simple.
Off to see what I can do with it now

Just gave this a go and it takes even longer to load lol. Once it hits the Matrix screen it's quick enough. The white screen with HTC is where it takes forever. It takes literally AGES.
The setup looked good too but I think I'll be back to froyo.

installed ubuntu on my USB how do i partition the sd card?

Woowww 157 pages lol. My head SERIOUSLY hurts.
I managed to get the fast boot thing to work by selecting "Hibernate" rather than "Power Off". Going by the desire Z demo, it can shutdown and restart in approx 10 seconds without going into hibernation (Can't remove battery/power).
Still, I'm going to have a play around with the HD firmware you liked to. It seems to be getting very good reports
Fingers crossed on the camera getting sorted out soon.
Thanks again for your help.

[Q]HELP! My Desire got into restarl loop and can't restore

Hi guys,
I've just partitioned my SD CARD through ROM Manager. Partition of 512MB and 0MB of SWAP.
After that I turned on the Desire and Went to the rom manager and tried to Flash a ROM. - this went unsuccesfully because the ROM Manager could see my SD Card.
So, in the ROM MANAGER I pressed the thing that gets you into the recovery mode, and there when i was trying to flash the room, if could see the sd-card again.
I tryied to restore, but it said that it has nothing to restore(first of all i've just backed up before starting, and even before that I had tons of backups).
I gave up the restore and restarted my phone, which also went unsuccesfully.
I've got into a restart loop where the phone turnes up till the opening page, has a little time of black screen, and than again-opening screen.
PLEASE HELP ME. ANYONE???
EDIT: I have just connected the SD CARD to the computer through a card reader, and he is almost empty! It has only 2 folders: .android_secure, .footprints, Android, LOST.DIR
what should I do?!
Maybe some1 can upload here all his SDCARD content and by that i'll copy it into my, and maybe it will work again
EDIT #2: NOW I'CANT ENTER THE RECOVERY MOD AT ALL!!!
it just stuckes on the with screen showing the HTC sign.

A partition will delete the contents of a sd card you should of backed up you nandroid first.... go to recovery mode by holding vol down and pressing the power button while the device is off, and choose recovery from the menu, clear the dalvik cache and see if your device will boot
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

I pressed the"wipe dlavik chache" and nothing happend..
and now i can't enter the recovery mode at all. great.....

Sorry for the ignorance, but what RUU is?, I really didnt get your post

Before rooting it's advised to check the original ROM running on your phone and get a copy of that RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) so you can always revert back to stock if things go wrong. I assume you don't know what your phone originally came on?

Unfortunately you are write.
So.. is there something for me to do?

check this link with all the official RUUs and download one that is from your region or download the generic World wide english one (WWE)
its a utility that runs on windows and installs a fresh official ROM on your device

dude and where is the link?
*During the RUU installation it says to turn on my phone and do several things...
I CANT TURN ON MY PHONE!

Try.
Try reformatting your sd card in windows first?
If you have ubuntu, you could use gparted to format it.
Or use another sd card.
Since you can access your sd card, download clockworkmod and the necessary files needed to root your phone, including a new rom. (I don't know how its like on windows as i use a mac so...)
Start the rooting process again using unrevoked. See if it starts up your phone.
If you can, flash the new rom.
Hopefully everything will work out.
P.S. What rom were you using before this happened and what version of rom manager were you using? Perhaps this might help other people.

First of all, I was using the newest version of ROM Manager and an Israeli ROM based on the LEEDROID.
but it all relays to the past, i got my phone back on track!!!
I found an old folder on my computer which included all my SDCARD content(I rememberd that i've backed up it on the pc once), so i copied everything to the SD, and than it let me into the recovery mod, and i had an old Nandroid backup.
EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW, THANKS EVERYBODY FOR TRYING!

nand s-off question

hi peeps , ok i want to do the nand unlock (s-off)and have gone to the alpharev site i have read that you can do it via pc or you can download and flash via phone .. so i just wanted to ask if what im doing is right before i do it ..
ok so i downloaded the pb99img bravo oxygen ( i presume this is the right one as i have oxygen 2.0 rc6 ) or does that have nothing to do with it lol ... i have renamed it PB99IMG.zip.. do i now put on sd card reboot into bootloader/hboot whatever its called and flash it from there .. or am i totally wrong and need some super guidance lol
thanks for any reply's in advance

More reading, you are talking about flashing a different partition layout. Before you can do that you need to S-off. If the instructions on the AlphaRev site are not cleat to you i suggest you don't S-off until you understand what is on there.
This might get you started on how to S-off.

I would suggest using the 'CD method'. It's super, super easy and it takes just a few minutes.
It's as easy as this, and bingo you have S-OFF.

Or CD version
1.download Alpha Rev.iso
2.burn .iso image to CD using a iso burning software eg. Power ISO
3.boot from CD eg. Hold F12 at boot
4.press the Legendary enter
TIPS connect USB when the CD has booted

Nero Burnlite will suffice. And a DVD will be fine.

i used ImgBurn..
you can use CD or DVD

ok i installed imgburn ... sorry for all questions but if ya dont ask ya dont find out
do i write image file to disk
or files folders to disk ??
then once done reboot pc and hold f12 , then something will come up like when you go into recovery /factory reset . then choose the file etc and send to usb ?????

you write the .ISO image to CD.
the download is immediately above the MD5 sum on the alpharev site.
check the MD5 sums as well before burning it.

It will give you a set of options, if you have a USB plugged in it will ask if you want to boot from that if you have an OS installed on it (I have Linux on a USB drive). Then it will ask you if you want to boot from CD, or the hard drive. Obviously you want to boot from the CD, it will load Linux, and auto install S-OFF to your phone.

Awesome. I'd suggest changing HBOOT table now. You can shuffle around the NAND and increase the space for installable apps, you can get anything from ~150 meg to ~350 megs depending on the OS installed.

lol whats hboot table ??? i only have apps with widgets saved to internal memory and i have a 750mb partition on my sd for apps

It allocates the system, cache and data partitions. By default a Sense ROM uses about 280megs of the internal ROM, and in contrast the Oxygen ROM I use uses about ~65Mbs, so you have ~210Mbs of unused space that can't be written to. The new HBOOT tables reconfigure the space so you can use the unneeded System space as Data which will give you an extra ~210Mbs for apps.
When I installed the Oxygen RC's I deleted my EXT3 partition on my SD card and just piled the apps on over to the phone.

oh ok mate . thanks but i really dont think im ever going to have millions of apps so im quite happy with just putting widget apps to internal and other to sd .. it will do for me as its not to technical lol
anyway thanks for all the help today take it easy chap

i was just reading over this again so does that mean for eg : on titanium backup it says at bottom internal 154mb (free 88mb) if i was to do this table thing would it then say internal 364 mb as its going to add approx 210mb and then free would be 276mb or something along those lines lol, or is it kind of like where you partition the sd its unseen but still using it ?

If you were to change the hboot table for oxygen say . Would it brick ph if I flashed a sense rom without changing the hboot back? Or does it change the table to suite?

You will need to change the table back, it only gives you 90 something Mbs for Oxygen, and Sense is a good 250Mbs. It won't brick the device but you won't have a working OS I would guess as it would fail to load. As long as you had a nandroid of the AOSP ROM you could just restore, otherwise you'd have to factory reset to get it working again.

[Q] Stock Incredible in BootLoop

A friend was trying to transfer contacts or some nonsense from her incredible 2 to her old incredible and got a boot-loop.
The phone was totally stock.
Now I can get into the bootloader but no matter what i do from there: Bootloop.
can't get into safemode either.
I have only ever softbricked my One X after I had rooted and installed a custom recovery, so i am not sure what to do here.
Should i just RUU? If so can someone provide me with a link to a TUT or a DL. I don't even know what Version of the Stock ROM she had or anything.
(In case you can't tell i know virtually nothing about the incredible)
Cheers

place the .zip on the root of the SD card and make sure it is named "PB31IMG.zip" and the SD is formatted to FAT32 then boot into hboot and go to bootloader and it will scan for the file and when it finds it it will ask you if you want to flash it, you just need to click the vol. up button to update and then it will flash it and then you will need to click vol. up to reboot I believe. if the RUU was successful it should boot into stock HTC android without problem.

thanks but...

As far as I know there is no way to flash things using the internal memory. I could be wrong but this is what I suggest for you:
If hboot couldn't find it then you need to do two things:
1. Make sure your file is called PB31IMG.zip not PB31IMG.zip.zip
2. Format SD to FAT32 File System Format
a. Make a backup of files on SD
b. Format to FAT32 using windows explorer
c. return files to SD card
Also an important note is to check the MD5 sum of the file. The MD5 for the file you downloaded is:
25EC451E08CD98C9495971BCB37E6582
This is important because flashing bad files through hboot can permanently brick the phone.
If you have mini-adbinc on your computer you just need to navigate to the directory of mini-adbinc in Command Prompt and then use the command:
Code:
md5sums C:/Folder/Folder/Folder/PB31IMG.zip
(where Folder/Folder/Folder is the series of folders to the location of PB31IMG.zip)
If you don't have these resources on your computer then there are several MD5 checkers online that can do the work for you and have more of a graphical UI instead of command prompt.

There is a way to put it on the internal drive, but hboot wont look for it there. Did you try backing up the sd to a pc, then format the card fat32, then put the ruu file on the sdcard in no folders. Make sure its named EXACTLY caps and all PB31IMG.zip, it shouldnt need to be renamed though. Boot to hboot, it should find it.

update fail!
so i formated to fat 32.
It recognized the image tired to flash but ultimately said...
Main Version is older!

Hehee, I guess so.

download the "update.zip" which is the root file, from the main root thread, then put it on ur internal storage, while ur phone is off, keep pushing volume up,home button and power button, when phone lights up just remove the finger over the power button and wait, strange mode will appear like the pics on the thread of rooting, tap over the menu button "touch sensitive button on left of home button" then ur recovery mode is working , now press volume down to to select apply update from sdcard then push home button to enter ur choice "navigation through options is done by volume buttons, touch screen isnt working" then apply ur update.zip file then from main menu choose reboot system, when ur phone wakes to normal mode just look for superuser icon (if u have it then ur rooted)

you don't want read carefully... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
don't worry it happens me too, sometimes even if you do the right things the process don't go well
format your card in a pc with FAT32 format and retry to do the backup... if something is wrong you must reinstall CWM (how do you install? with odin or with terminal mode?)
as you can see even if the things are simple... you must read... guides or threads don't be important... you must read
I hope you can solve yr problems
edit: and please be patient... don't touch anything when the phone is still making backup or flash any custom rom/CWM... wait the result it show in the screen before touching any key

dont format ur sdcard from ur phone, instead, plug ur sdcard to ur pc and check if it is readable (may or may not be readable) if its readable then u can salvage ur very imp data (dont copy the whole sdcard just ur imp data only) to ur pc then format ur sdcard
press thanks if i help you

It's nottt readable.

I have the same problem with my first CMW flashed: 6.0.1.2
I download and flash it with odin... the backups are even corrupted or simply not good...
I decide to flash (with odin too) another version (6.0.1.9) and then it works fine...
don't desperate... try to download (for me it's better with pc instead directly with the phone) another version of CWM or simply the same... it is possible do you have a corrupted file
reinstall it (with odin or terminal mode) and retry to do a backup
first of all as you can read above format the SDcard in a pc with FAT32 format and set "predefinite" the allocation unit size

Yeah I had that before, try formatting from phone then from pc, I don't remember what I did but I think this fixed it.
Why did you post three different posts in the Q&A section talking about the same problem?

In the Command Prompt(run as administrator) type:
chkdsk volume: /f
– volume: – disk letter (in my case my sdcard ish G:/);
– /f – parameter that fixes errors on the disk.
chkdsk (ursdcard volume) /f
