[Q] Why am i having problems with different roms!?! HELP ASAP

Well every time I try to flash a new rom it just goes in a bootloop. I know that when i create a nandroid backup it skips sd ext. Does missing my sd ext cause major problems and how do i fix it?

Not have the partition is not going to affect it, other than that message you're seeing. Have you tried restoring a known working backup?
This is posted in the wrong section BTW
Edit: You also want to make sure you fallow instructions to the letter and do a full wipe before flashing any ROM.

before this thread gets capped -
im not the best guy to be taking advise from... lol
but when this happened to me - 3 rom flashes in a row, all looping ...
my "fix" was to full wipe twice
flash new rom - let boot all the way until everything gets done syncing "including" any market updates
then reboot and do your kernal, or theme if wanted...
even if you do a nandroid, wiping twice helped me alot...
good luck

that helped a lot ig but i still want to fixc this sdext thing

Im pretty sure you have the slcd screen.Check menu -settings-about phone-hardware information-I bet under hardware version yours is 0003? The amoled is 0002.
Read this thread it will solve your problem http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...nly-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html

To fix the sd-ext problem, you have to first back up EVERYTHING on your SD card to your computer, then you can use ROM Manager to partition your SD card and create the SD-EXT partition

Not having an SD extension is not going to affect your rom flashing. It's not a problem. All it allows is for moving of apps to the SD card to conserve internal storage space, which is kinda unnecessary unless you have a bajliion apps.
Full wipe. Wipe EVERYTHING you can inside ClockworkMod Recovery: Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache (Under the Advanced menu option)
And if you do have the SLCD screen (Hardware 0003) find an SLCD compatible kernel and flash that after every rom and you're gold.

There is nothing to fix. It is completely normal and you'd be wasting space on your sd card by creating a partition that odds are you'll never use.

My bad, they're right, my mistake for calling it a problem, that implies that it NEEDS to be fixed, which isn't the case lol good catch guys

What's the best solution to add proper Apps2SD?

Unbranded/Unlocked/Stock/Rooted HTC Desire GSM with Froyo
I'm struggling with the amount of space HTC have given the HTC Desire and wish to add proper Apps2SD support. A few questions please:
1. I'm using the stock HTC Desire Froyo firmware but the phone is rooted. Is this enough?
2. I've tried searching but come up with so many different solutions. Which is considered the easiest to implement and safest Apps2SD solution?
3. Where can I find instructions to implement this?
4. I've found this guide, is it recommended? - http://www.droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-add-apps2sd-to-the-htc-desire
Thanks

Simplest way is to Flash a ROM with it built in
Let someone more techie do the hard work
As long as you do a Nandroid backup first you can always get back to your original setup.
Dont forget you will need to create an EXT partition .... Go for the biggest you can to save having to redo it later.

Good point. I'm currently weighing up my options. How HTC ever though the Desire would have enough app storage is crazy.
Any idea what's the best solution to add proper Apps2SD in the mean time?

How do I do that? Thanks.

If you are rooted download ROM Manager from the market.
Create an EXT partition (using ROM Manager) - go for as big as you can spare on your SD card
Install Clockworkmod recovery (using ROM Manager)
Backup current ROM (using ROM Manager) - this can take up a fair chunk of SD card space
Download the ROM you want
Flash the ROM from SD card (using ROM Manager)
If you want Froyo id recommend LeeDroid A2SD version (this has Sense)
If you want Gingerbread id recommend GingerVillain (this doesnt have Sense)
Both are ideal 'starter' ROMS with clear instructions and simple to use
Read the first few posts for both ROMs to get full install details and tips
.... both are very fast and stable

* How about Sense 2.1 and Gingerbread?
* How much space is needed to store the system data that gets put on the SD card by this procedure? Or when it's finished will the EXT partition be empty?
Otherwise thanks a lot

. I'd backup my SD card and made sure it was empty before starting, so that's okay. I used Unrevoked to root. I'm pretty I'm already now running Clockworkmod recovery.

If you dont want to flash you should find some threads about installing Apps2SD - there are various 'versions' of this - but dont forget you still need to create an EXT partition first.

There are some ROMs about with Gingerbread and Sense. I havent tried any, they are mostly quite new and based on an Eastern model. Cant really advise. Im on GingerVillain at the mo and really dont miss Sense.
Try LauncherPro or even Regina Launcher and you will start to wonder what you ever saw in Sense

Do you have any links to recommended methods?
I've thought about installing a new rom but am perfectly happy with the stock Desire ROM to be honest. I've tried Launcher Pro Plus, it's excellent but I prefer HTC Sense. Battery life and storage space are the two things that bug me. This forum is a minefield to those who don't know what they're looking for. The Desire developers forum doesn't list the ROMs by their "known names" .

Can someone let me know the best App2SD solution please?
I'd be happier just implementing this than a new ROM. I'm happy with the stock one I've got TBH.

[Q] Defy is dead

I had a lot of issues this last days. I had Miui 2.3.7c froyo and I tried to free my defy from vodafone with this tutorial. Didn't work properly (probably my fault) and it brick my cell.
Trying lots of stuff I finaly booted it flashing to 2.3.6 (GB DEFY+). Everything was bugged and I tried to flash back to froyo, the only thing I could do was flashing to chinesse froyo rom with RSDLite.
Then the cell was working properly, but it was a horrible rom. So I flashed to CM9 ICS, it looked great. Unfortunately, my pc couldnt find my device while connected by USB, neither Wifi were working. I tried to free from vodafone flashing "ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip" but didnt work.
Tired of making it worse for each time I try to fix it, I flashed to my original ROM (Vodafone 3.4.2) that totaly kill my cell.
Now I can only use bootloader (no recovery). All I want is to free my DEFY.
As you have seen, I'm not good at this things. All help will be appreciate
EDIT: now I've flash again to chinese rom, at least works.

China recovery doesnt have that option (only wipe data, wipe cache and install update), I'll try installing 2ndinit.
Edit: Installed 2ndinit, dont have any option tu restore nAndroid backup from Custom Recovery (from 2ndinit).
Here a pic of the china recovery

I'm already in custom recovery, but nAndroid backup can only be done from Stock (not sure).
I've research and I think that installing Clockworkmod recovery will let me do nAndroid backup.
Help is appreciated, I'm noob at this.

I supose theres no way to go back to Vodafone 3.4.2. But I tried everything.
This are my choices:
Chinese Rom -> no google accounts(no market), no internet (only wifi), annoying sounds and interface.
Flashing to custom roms from chinese froyo (tried CM7 and CM9) -> no internet, no USB connection.
Upgrading to 2.3.6 -> no camera, no wifi (I have green len).
Flashing to custom roms from 2.3.6 -> no camera, no wifi, constant blocks.
What can I do? I only want a full working rom...

Best option is CM7 then. If you do it right you will have WIFI. probably forgot to wipe data/cache.
To get the best results: root, download cm7 (7.2.0rc cause it has latest kernel in it) and place on your sd, instal 2nt init (apk is in dev thread), reboot, power off, power on, press volume down when the led flashes, recovery > custom or latest (not stock). Then wipe data and cache from there, instal zip > the zip you downloaded earlier.
Reboot and off you go.

The biggest difference is that almost everything is working its quicker, stable, smoother, better translation and it has a working battery in the top bar

Nevermind! It worked fine now

It seems to be an interesting ROM so I've tried to install. The ROM-file worked fine and the update-file as well, but I was unable to install the kernel!
Don't remember the error now. I was hence unable to start after installation, only comes to the welcome screen and nothing happens when I press the Android man, can only press "language".

Thanks!
But now I have problem problem with the ROM-file. There's an error when trying to install "E:No signature (786 files) Verification failed".
Maybe this is due to something with my phone, but when trying other ROMs I have no problem.

Its because its not signed you can always use clockwork to flash it.
Or you can sign it yourself.

see in the recovery if you have turned toggle signature verification on!!
you must turn that option off in recovery and that sould solve the problem i think.

OK, thanks. That'll surely do the trick. The only problem is that I'm using another recovery, AmonRA Recovery, which doesn't have the option to skip the signed check.
I also don't know how to sign the zip-file by myself!

Try flashing clock work recovery.

Are you flashing roms that require a partitioned SD card? I haven't tried flashing any sense roms lately but I know that a lot of them require the sd card to be partitioned.

You also need to wipe more.
Boot, system, sd ext. And do all of the 3 times. I know ot takes more time, but it will give you a cleaner install of your new rom

there are also a few tools out there to help wipe.

I wipe all but SDcard, and battery info in Amon Ra 3 times. then i flash the calkulins format all 3 times, then flash new rom. i have had minimal problems.
you also might update your radio. not sure if this will help with data, and it can break things if not done right. but its worth a try.

which sense 3.5 roms are you downloading? maybe they have a bug in the few you decided to try everyone ive ever used in my phone was too buggy for me.

Uhm,
Haha Lets See Here,

And The ALL Fail To Bring My Data Upp To Par,
Like, Should I Call Sprint And Have Them Re-Activate My Service??

have you tried bliss yet? i know data worked for me at least on that one. and have you tried any other roms besides 3.5 sense ones with a similar problem? and if it works on a stock rom, the Sprint can't do anything for you. It might be how you set it up. wiping is the main thing i can think of. how about you post pics or video compared stock and 3.5 so we can see the problem, including how you flash it.
