ok it was late and i thought I'd try to update my wifes desire to the insertcoin_gb rom from gingervillian.
Problem:
didn't realize it needed the EXT4 partition and installed the rom to find out it stays at the HTC logo. fixed that by flashing gingervillian again and then flash ext4partion.zip i believe and after that insertcoin. well then it boot looped the HTC logo. When I went into CWM recovery I couldn't install anything from the sdcard nor mount it.
Solution:
After srugggling with this I finally decided to try another sdcard and it worked mounted and I installed gingervillan again. The main problem i was having was that i was under the impression that the sdcard was the internal memory.
Lesson learned:
Never try to flash your phone after a long day at work and at 2am
Thanks XDA I could never of figured out have the crap I do to my phones without you.
Cheers

I didn't think of that sorry it was really really late. I added everything
ha ha...
I did pretty much the same thing about two nights ago. Tried to go from GingerVillain 2.8 to InsertCoin as I was for some reason missing Sense. Managed to flash it ok and on first start up everything was fine, then it started acting up when I had to restart again. Suddenly the sd card wouldn't mount!
Being a noob at these things (only rooted about three weeks ago) I thought "crap, now it's done for, what the hell do I do now?"
Eventually I took the memory card out of my phone, put it in my laptop and completely reformatted it. Luckily I'd made a backup of everything on my sd card and put everything back on it. When I put it back in my phone it read it again...
I re-flashed GingerVillain and all is now working ok again.
Think I'll stick with GV 2.8 until I've done a bit more reading and learning and am not so much of a noob at these things...
same here I'm not to familiar with HTC as I own a galaxy s which I find is WAYYYY easier to flash with but that's just me. Glad that's all over and I got everything to work
Hi everyone,
I'm basically having a hard time trying to get a data2sd rom working on my desire; Its a normal bravo gsm. Over the past couple of days I've tried SuperNova Extreme and Runnymede Rom (I'd really like to get this one to work). I've followed the instructions to a T, and been searching up through various threads and when finding people who've had similar problems, they've had no replies to them.
I'll mention SuperNova as it's the one that I had tried most. I'm running 4EXT Recovery by the way and when I go to install the rom I wipe data, cache, dalvik and battery stats, completely clear it. I then install the zip and ok that goes through fine. I get onto the first boot as informed, proceed to set up the rom and then reboot as told. Its here that when the data2sd is installed and i get onto the second boot, i get bombarded with force closes, 'com.system.android has stopped responding' (something like that, Ive restored my SGBS nandroid) and the whole system is very laggy.
Can anyone shine a light on what i'm doing wrong please?
Thanks!

Using Gparted Live, creating the Fat32 first and then creating a 1024mb EXT4 partition after.

Sorry for asking a question. However isn't that for A2SD? and I didn't search through this Q&A section as much as looking on both rom's threads as I thought it was rom specific.
Ok I've tried it again just now, this time with the Runnymede rom and followed a post I found about using the format options in recovery and then finally performing a wipe.
The install went through fine, however on first boot i was greeted with 'Sorry, process com.android.phone is not responding.'
I have no idea why this doesn't want to work, does anyone have any clue?
Cheers
When the phone boots for the first time don't setup/ligin anything. Select language and skip everything else. Then reboot and it will work fine. (Rorked with me, though)

For droidzones RoM am sure you have to use CWM recovery, I will have a quick look now for you.
Edit
Nope I was wrong, your using the right recovery. Only thing I can think of it being is SD card damaged or your partitions are wrong.
Hi,
I appreciate you having a check for me. I had a thought it may be my card, i'm using a class 4 kingston, so maybe a class 6 transcend could be better.
As for partitions, would maybe increasing my EXT4 partition have any effect?
Cheers for all your help so far, i'm determined to get this working!

I partition using Gparted first fat32 primary make sure you also select from the list MB. second ext4 primary and again select MB from the list.
Hi everyone,
I managed to get this sorted out, I think it was my card. I tried another one, a sandisk 4gb (i think class 4 also), and managed to get both roms working no problem. So I re applied the same things to the 16gb Class 6 I ordered and have now got runnymede running perfectly on cm7r2 hboot.
I usually partition using g-parted but when I tried the 4gb I decided to try 4ext recovery's own partitioning features and then checked all the alignment. It seemed to work no problem, however I still got the same issues I had faced on the Kingston card.
So anyone who struggles and comes across this topic, i suggest try another card and these steps i wrote, it worked for me.
Thanks for your replies and help!
So my Desire is bootlooping since last night :s tried flashing multiple roms, it goes to boot animation and stays there. also tried formatting my 32gb card and re partitioning and everything, still no luck. The only thing that works are nandroid backups, but even those got wiped when I formated the sd card. Any suggestions guys? :crying: Recovery is 4ext 1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: Flashed Rooted Stock GB and it worked .... but other ROMs refuse to boot, and even in the stock ROM it says I have low storage space even though I just booted...
EDIT 2: So I think I found the problem, my data partition is full, although I've performed several wipes :\ does anyone know anything that may have caused this? it's very odd and although there are workarounds like flashing another hboot, I wish I didn't have to lose that much space on my phone.

try a different sdcard because not so long ago i was using an 8gb sandisk sdcard and i started getting bootloops and i too reflashed roms, re partitioned my sdcard but nothing, still bootloops, rom freezing/restarting etc then i tried another sdcard, flashed the same download of the rom and it worked fine after that. so maybe ur sdcard got corrupt some how.
There may be some hidden files left over on your SD card.
Connect it to a PC, enable to view hidden files and see if anything is left out.

I have tried another card, the result is the same, the partition I cant wipe is internal. Flashed cm7 hboot and it boots and works normally, has it expands the data partition. Is there anything I can do to format the data partition? I've tried anything, and flashing the cm7 hboot is but a workaround and limits the ROM I can flash to my phone :\
Hello,
my Desire just keeps rebooting, only 5-60 seconds after it's started. I have been using "VJ CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v4.7" for some month, and just today the phone just reboots. Tried everything; full wipe, then updated to latest v5.3, no change. Since then I've gone thru all kinds om ROMs; good old Oxygen, CM7, MildWild, you name it..
What the freak has happend?! I mean; it's the same with every rom! And I had done nothing to my phone since yesterday, this just started this morning and it's driving me crazy!! Gotta have a phone, you know..
Please help!
If its a pvt1 model, it may be a mother board issue.

yh i agree, same happened to me before using a sandisk sdcard, all roms kept on freezing/rebooting so got a new sdcard and all was fine again.
Ok, got a Pvt3. So that should not be the problem. Also got a EXT partition, but wouldn't it be strange that this problem occurs now, when I have used the same sd card, ext partition table, ROM (+ different ones), etc..?
Well, I did a few more full wipe's and all that and what's not, then flashed the latest VJ CM 10 v5.3 again, and for some reason the phone's been stable now for 1,5 hours!! Just crossing my fingers here now, that it keeps this way...
Thanks for all the help! I'll write back if things turn bad again!

iv seen recently some pvt3 models overheating aswell. it also could be ur sdcard coz when my phone started rebooting i re flashed the rom, tried different roms, partitioned my sdcard again but nothing, as soon as i put a new one in, the phone worked perfect. Sometimes sdcards just go bad and for no reason.
Hi everyone, i recently learn in this forum how to root and install a rom and my phone work excellent but days later my sd card die i buy a new one a 8GB class 4, but when i try to install my previous rom the phone start to reboot with every app, i try many roms but almost all show me the same error, in this moment i have install the cyanogen 7.2 but every possible way to extend the memory dosnt work, the rom have s2e install but when i try to pass the apps to sd show and error or reboot and die in the htc logo, when i try with the mounts2sd show they I have 1gb or internal memory but when i pass at least 2 or 3 apps show me the message "you dont have enough space" and the same happen with link2sd, im desperate at this moment because i dont know what to do or what happen, i try doing clean installation, wipe and format everything but the phone show everytime the same errors.
Please if somebody can help me or show me an idea to what to do please

The sd-card is probably faulty. Do you have a third sd-card, not this one, nor the 4GB you used to use, but another one to test if it's working properly?

Usually Samsung sd-cards work best with the HTC Desire. Try getting a class 6 or class 4 sd-card.
Ok i try to get a new sd card with that specs, but i like to know if the sd card can be the only factor to my problem, because i try to install many roms like leedroid, cooldroid v9, mildwild, and every rom show me a differente errors as leedroid get stuck in a reboot loop, cooldroid revolution v9 get stuck in the black htc logo, mildwild show error of the kind "sorry the process com...." with almost every app (this happen with 2 or 3 roms i try) the rom i used before this problems is oxygen 2.3.2 and work fine without no problem but now i install this rom and every time a install an app the phone makes a quick reboot and show me the welcome message of the rom every time, i search for a solution or explanation but i dont found anything similar to my problem, maybe someone have any idea of what happen whit this??

If no ROM with an a2sd script works properly, then, yes, it's an sd-card error. You could try many other ROMs.
Oxygen doesn't have an a2sd script by default.
Just in this moment im trying to flash a rom with a different sd card but i have a problem again im going to flash the cyanogenmode 7.2 because i have this in a previous installation and i like the rom, but now i install the rom and get stuck in the htc logo, i really dont understand what is happen with my phone apparently took own life and is doing what he want :crying: im going to try with another rom
thanks
Well this is my update, i wipe/format everything, cache, dalvik, data, system, boot, sd-ext i mean everything, and now i can flash the rom that i want, the other thing is i get a 2gb sd card and i use this with and ext patition of 512mb just for try, and all work fine, in this moment i already install many apps and use the mounts2sd, the apps are use around the 200mb.
In conclusion my big problem is and always be the sd-card. :silly:
thanks to everybody for your help, i want to make a guide for newbies like me who have this kind of problems
Hi, this is my new update, i purchase an micro sd card kingston of 16gb class 4, i put in my phone create the sd ext partition of 1gb and flash the cyanogen mod 7.2, everything works fine, i install the mounts2sd and configure it and work fine too with this i can install many apps without the memory problem. But my really issue is the phone is working really slow i never experience this before, i open the camera and get stuck, open the browser and get stuck, the only option when i open something and get stuck is hit the home key and send me again to the desk screen.
Any idea of what happen? i think at first is was a problem of speed in the cpu but i see in the configuration is fine, i also think if flash to many times in a row the phone can damage anything?? I dont know what to do in this moment.
Thanks.
