Reboot into recovery mode. Then Click on install zip from SD Card. Browse SD card and find the Clockworkmod folder click on that then you should see a zip file called recovery update. Click on it and let it flash the file. Once you it finishes it should take you back to recovery menu. If you downloaded the ROM it should be on your SD card. If not scroll thrpyfg menu and click on mounts. mount your device as a usb connect your computer transfer your ROM from your PC to your SD card and install.
Hope this works for you. If not post the ROM you're having issues with and what results are after trying steps above and I'll try to wall you through alternative.
Go into recovery and wipe everything....click on mounts and storage and format everything starting from boot,wipe cash partition,wipe dalvik cash,wipe...wipe wipe n double wipe...reboot recovery,mount the sd card and usb and start again

Mounted to computer through recovery as u said downloaded Leedroid because the rom i had was not on the sd card and it looks like it's STILL in the boot loop coz i clicked reboot after it flashed and now it's making an r2d2 noise and showing a loading screen then playing the noise and doing the same over and over again?
WTF?!?!?!?!
If you flashed a different rom you need to do a full wipe (data/factory reset and cache).

I beg to differ but you are entitled to your opinion. However, just to give you some insight, Leedroid is one of the more respected and hardworking developers. His updates are not weekly because he provides stable and highly reliable ROMs. Remember your problem existed prior to trying to flash Leedroid's ROM.
Now more likely than not there was a user error in the process. Did you format your SD Card FAT 32 with EXT3 partition? Do you have the update.zip on the ROOT of your SD Card if not Leedroid provides a link to the CWM update.zip file.
Did you unmount the device in recovery and did you properly remove device from PC (if using Windows unplugging the device without properly removing/ejecting will cause bad data blocks/errors on the SD Card).
And of course did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache before flashing Leedroid's rom? If you did all of these things the only other issue that you may be experiencing is that you must have USB Debugging enabled on the device.
Leedroid provide exception support for his ROMs and he also updates his threads in answering general questions and troubleshooting if any one is experiencing issues after flashing his ROM.

I've followed this guide on this forum to get a2sd:

And I have the Modaco mod, and I know it said there was a chance it could go wrong.
But I tried nandroid restore and it didn't work, now I'm still in a boot loop, what should I do
Trying to do this now:
Run a2sd remove to reset everything back...that will fix the bootloop by setting everything back to internal storage.
Hope it works
Didn't work.

I used rommanager to partition my sd card.
And the a2sd remove command didn't work, still in loop
Also, did you flash a MCR custom rom that already includes Apps2SD? if you did, then all you needed to do was partition your SD card while still in Recovery Mode. You only need to install Apps2SD separately if the rom you want to flash does not have Apps2SD incorporated into the rom.
If you have a rom with Apps2SD already installed, then in Recovery Mode, perform a full wipe, flash the rom, partition your SD card, and then convert ext2 to ext3. All steps should be perfomed while still in Recovery Mode and before you reboot your device.

Yep, try going back into Recovery Mode menu and select Wipe > Wipe Data/Factory Reset using the optical trackpad. If you still get stuck, then I would suggest that you follow this guide:
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
It is very easy to follow and explains how to install Apps2SD separately. Try flashing the rom file (rootedupdate.zip) it mentions because you would otherwise be stuck in bootloop if you re-flashed your MCR rom having no way to load the Sense UI again and place the r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip onto your SD Card (unless you maybe downloaded it using ROM Manager or had another smartphone available where you could take out your sd card, insert it into the other phone, mount it, and place the downloaded r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip onto your sd card, then re-insert it back into your phone to flash)
Just remember to perform a full wipe in Recovery Mode menu (Wipe > Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe > Wipe cache, Wipe > Wipe Dalvik-cache). Then re-flash the rom and follow the guide to install Apps2SD.
Sorry to answer this late, I was away for the weekend.
It's a nice guide, but I don't have those files on my sd card, and I don't have an sd card adaptor.
I don't want to send my phone in
Try wiping everything (data, ext and dalvik-cache) and either try your nandroid backup again or reflash the rom.

I always tried the factory wipe and cache clear from my custom recovery but that didn't work.
Then I did a factory wipe and cache clear from my standard recovery and he started up again
I think everybody was telling me to do this, but I always did it in custom recovery.
Thanks a lot for the help tkirton and MasDroid!!
So I completed step 2 of root today and decided to flash Fresh .5.3
Wiped data, but forgot to wipe SD card. Began to boot loop so I read that I would need to partition the SD card. I tried to Flash back to Fresh .2 in order to backup my SD card and began to boot loop there too.
So I go into recovery and partition (0,0)
I'm still boot looping Fresh .2 and I can't flash anything else (read: my backup) because I wiped the SD card.
Help would be greatly appreciated

I flashed Flipz latest without wiping my SD and got no issues, but if Flipz mentioned that and you followed, I am sorry to hear you have this conflict now. Like I suggested in my previous post, easiest way is to format your SD using an adapter with WIN or MAC, your choice, then download and place Flipz ROM and re-flash.

I was boot looping after the initial install so I looked at Flipz FAQ. He says, "In every case that I've seen, this has been caused by sd:ext not being wiped properly" and then advises to do a complete sd wipe. Anyway, I guess I will have to wait until I can get an adapter. Sheesh.

Here is the exact quote.
"In every case that I've seen, this has been caused by sd:ext not being wiped properly. Clockwork Recovery isn't doing it right. It appears to but actually errors out. The fastest way to actually wipe it properly would be to reboot in to recovery and re-partition it. This will wipe EVERYTHING off of your sdcard! Do 0/0/Remaining if you want to use apps2sd or 32/1gb/Remaining to use apps2sd. Then wipe everything and re-flash the rom."
It's confusing enough that he said both the 0/0/remaining and 32/1gb/remaining both allow you to use apps2sd...I didn't know there were different levels of repartitioning.
I've discovered that in the recovery menu there is an option that is something like "USB-MS" which basically allows you to access the SD card while in the menu. I threw .5.3 on there and am booting now....Hoping this works.
Before installing a Custom ROM on my rooted Desire I am trying to sort out the SDCard as required but am running into problems.
The guides I've read say to change the size of the Fat32 partition on my card to allow an Ext partition. The trouble is in GParted my card just comes up as 'unallocated'.
If I do format it to Fat32 and add an Ext partition (both Primary) once I put my recovery files (and or update.zip for custom ROM) on the card and enter CWM Recovery it doesnt see the files. It just says 'no files found'.
At one point my phone said it couldn't mount SD Card. This even occured when booting phone as usual as no memory card was showing up.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Well I've spent about three hours on this again today still to no avail.
I tried formatting the card in recovery then brought it up in gparted. The card was still showing up as 'unallocated' and when I created the Fat32/Ext partitions the card once again failed to be read by recovery. Although Windows has no problem seeing it.
Eventually my phone and gparted couldnt see or mount the card at all. After running my phone and formatting the card it eventually saw it.
I thought the problem may be because I connected my card to gparted through the phone so tried a card reader but the card reader didn't appear to work. I don't know if the difference I explained is important.
Is it feasible to install a decent custom rom with A2SD with the partition created through recovery? (which gparted also didnt see) as I am having an absolute headache with gparted. Every work around I try just creates a new problem.
Try this: Use Gparted to partition whole card to 1 FAT32 primary partition and then partition it via 4ext recovery into two partitions as required.
Thanks, I'll try it once the kids give me some peace.
Its actually the Supernova 2.4.0.0 ROM I'm trying to install but if I do partition the SD Card with Ext4 Recovery when I do the required Full Wipe won't it go back to how it was? and then I'd have to setup the phone and install the app again to re-partition it? Would I be able to do this before I install the custom ROM?

A full wipe doesnt repartition the card. It only formats some partitions. Partition first, then do a wipe and finally install the rom. Installation instructions for the rom are given on supernova.droidzone.in

The installation instructions mention a full wipe but reading further it does mention a factory reset so its ok. Will let you know how I get on once the kids are in bed.
Right after some messing about I've had some success. I booted back into Android once I'd used GParted and after a while it saw my SD Card ok.
My Windows PC only saw 12.9GB (of a 16GB card), my phone saw the full 14.9gb in Android and GParted saw both partitions.
As I'd just done a factory reset and my PC saw my Phone I transferred the ROM File to my memory card and installed.
As I had downloaded the Extreme edition I followed the Classic install instructions as instructed and rebooted (after booting to android after install).
The LEd flashed green a couple of times as mentioned but then stopped and is now stuck on the htc screen.
Am I right the file I installed (Supernova_2.4.0.0_signed) is the classic version? Should I have downloaded a sepaerate file for the A2SD installer? The instructions don't seem to suggest this.
And most importantly how do I get my phone to work? lol, please help!
Update: Before I installed the ROM it was showing up correctly in GParted and in Windows it was only showing the Fat32 section which I assumed to be correct. After removing the battery I am back to starting up as normal (with the new Custom ROM) but the SD Card will not show up in GParted and will only allow me to use in Windows if I format first which I havent done. Therefore I can only conclude the file system has got lost somewhere which is why the A2SD installer crashed.
I've very happy with the improved ROM but I still don't have extra stoarge space which was the whole point in upgrading.
Any idea where I can go from here?
The file is right. However I cant suggest anything until you follow the proper reporting format and pull logs from your phone as per post #3 of supernova thread. The report should be filed in the Supernova thread or on the Supernova Forum at droid-force.com

Take my advice and move over to 4ext recovery.. It's the best atm.. you'll love it.
Edit:
I saw your post at droid-force.com and have responded to it there/
So back on my Evo 4G whenever I wanted to flash a new rom, I would load it on my SD card. Then boot into custom recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik... Then would wipe ALL data/factory reset. Then I would install my new rom off of my SD card.
With my S3, I cannot access anything on my SD via CWM recovery. I have a SDXC card formatted to FAT32 and am on Blazer 1.8
I want to do a full data wipe before flashing new ROMS, but I am worried that if I do, I won't have a way of getting a zip file back on my phone after doing so.
It ALMOST seems like. Remember being able to access my SD in CWM when I was on a stock rooted rom. But I'm not positive.
How does one do a wipe data option in CWM and then get a flash able zip back on the phone afterwards if the SD card is not available to see and move data to/from?
I don'tanna end up wiping all data and then finding out that I hav no way of installing/restoring a rom.
Thanks!

Move on to TWRP for your recovery, much more features but if you don't want to do that go to CWM's website and update to 6.0 it will allow you to "see" your sd card

+1 on TWRP, much nicer and more features and themable To install, download GooManager open it and grant SU access then tap menu and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it'll do the rest.
BTW you're following the process ok, except you're doing one additional step that is not required that is to wipe cache and dalvik. When you factory reset you're deleting the data partition which also has both cache. It should be wipe system then do factory reset, flash the ROM after that and you should be all set.

Formatting Boot will not affect CWM. CWM is your receovery not your boot. Also after a full wipe you should be able to get into download mode to flash via ODIN.
Install TWRP or update CWM, one version of CWM had a bug and don't let you access the sdcard.
If you choose TWRP, in the Format Menu, DO NOT use "Format Data" Second Row/Right Option. It will delete your data on the internal storage.

Make sure you have the most recent version of CWM. I can access both internal and external storage. It's downloadable from the ClockworkMod app.
Hi Guys
I have a relly rare problem with my phone. The main problem is that i can't charge it. When I put it on the charger for probbably 10 sec. is charging (orange indicator) but then start blinking orange/green.
I tried also connect to PC, result is the same.
I thought that the problem will be in battery, but today at work I tried college battery and the problem is still the sme.
The funniest thing is, that I can turn - on my phone, get into boot-loader etc, but when i try to turn it on, it starts loading everything work's fine, but just begore the system is loaded (i can see the status bar, loading sd card), the phone shut down.
I really don't know what to do. I tried hard reset, restore backup from original HTC OS, turn on with/without sd card .... i think that everything
Could you help me somehow ?
Thanks
PS: sorry for my english
My boot loader is HBOOT-6-01.1002

and i'm using Cyanogen Mod 7.03
try without the sdcard! sounds like something may be corrupt on it. if it all works fine without the card then i think a format is necessary ...... this will delete all sdcard data so make a backup 1st then start transfering needed things back slowly, testing a reboot on each new folder etc transfered. or run a disk check of sdcard on pc.
you could also try a fresh flash of the rom too.

Alright, looks familiar btw (exactly like mine lol) - did you have an ext partition? If not: any apps on sd? You said that you flashed the ROM again - did you format or wipe the system partition before? (If you run into ROM related probs most of the time it won't help just to flash the ROM over because the problems might resist).

Yes, i moved many apps on sd-card (i probbably don't have any ext partition,but not sure)
After new flash (if it mean's instaling new from from sd card) i used wipe dalvik cache, but after installation, not before.
So could you tell mr kind of step by step introductions what should I do, because i'm not really good in this stuff :-/

Try flashing the rom again but with full wipes, not just dalvik cache. But also cache, data & system. After you do the wipes reflash your rom (and Gapps if needed). This will delete all your apps, SMSs and contacts though...

So i wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, then installed cyanogen mod 7.2.0, but the problem still persists.
Now i think the problem will be somewhere with the apps on sd-card, because before the phone shut down, i can see in status bar text "preparing sd card" ....
Is there anything else i can do ?
and i didn't try flashing gapps, because i dont know what to do ? ... i need to download some zip and install it from sd ? or ?

yes: remove those apps (you could do a backup with titanium backup) and try again. You did mention that earlier - a full wipe seems pretty useless if you leave parts that interact on a FAT32 partition... (or do you use an ext partition?).
If you start fresh without any apps on sd you could at least exclude this from the list of possible causes
To make this clear: from my experience there rarely will be one single easy action you could do to solve a persistant problem. Therefore most of the time it helps to follow all the steps of those procedures very careful, systematic and throw lazyness over board
So I'd do a full wipe/new install following this procedure:
format /system, /data
wipe /dalvik-cache, /cache
wipe all/factory reset
flash ROM
flash gapps
reboot without sdcard first (just to make sure)
and i didn't try flashing gapps, because i dont know what to do ? ... i need to download some zip and install it from sd ? or ?

You'll need the correct gapps for your Android version and flash it right after flashing the ROM (has to be done as gapps are freely available by Google but aren't allowed to include into custom ROMs due to licences)
Gapps could be found here: http://goo.im/gapps
So i will try full / wipe (new installation)
I just don't know what you mean by "format /system, /data" and how to do it ... is it somewhere in recovery mode ? or there is any app for it ?
"(or do you use an ext partition?)" - not sure I created somthing probabbly like that, because i wanted to move my apps on sd card ... but not sure ... i'm pretty lame in this stuff.

I just don't know what you mean by "format /system, /data" and how to do it ... is it somewhere in recovery mode ?

yes, depends on your version where to find it - it's at "mounts and storage" / "format" here (if I'm not mistaken - sorry too lazy to go there now)
"(or do you use an ext partition?)" - not sure I created somthing probabbly like that, because i wanted to move my apps on sd card ... but not sure ... i'm pretty lame in this stuff.

if you "created something" or have all your apps on sd you most probably have an ext partition which you should format/wipe, too, then (after backing up your apps...)
didn't help
formated /system, /data /sd-ext
wipe /dalvik-cache, /cache
wipe all/factory reset
then installed rom from zip , after that i installed google aps, turn it off (because of inserted sd card) than turn it on without sdcard .... but problem is still the same
Use the guide in my signature. First to unroot and S-ON. Then wipe SD card.
Then root again (also in sig), hopefully it'll be gone.

Today at work my colleague tryed your guide (step by step, unroot S-ON , wipe sd partition then root .... etc) but didn't help, he also gave mi error log from phone, so if somone could help me.
I can see some errors in there, but really don't know what to do. Can you help with that ?
Thanks a lot

From what I understand, it just looks like a normal day for the Wildfire; some errors but mainly just day to day errors, somethings that my £560 One S does
Do you know which part he got stuck on by any chance? Which step, etc.

he didn't get stuck anywhere ...
But after all that incident's i'll installed RUU and the phone working correctly (he is not shuting down on initialization)
but the charging problem is still in there (blinking orange / green when i want to charge it while it's ON).
Only way i can charge my phone is in bootloader but still better then nothing
So thanx a lot for advices.

Try to change your charger/data cable..may be its a charging port fault.

good idea. Having this said it might also be a good idea to carefully check your micro USB slot (this also causes a faulty behaviour with the car dock app sometimes) - you could give it a blast with compressed air to blow out particles (but be careful not to blow the stuff inside the phone).
