[Q] Flashing hboot before loading custom ROM? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello !
I'm trying to load a custom ROM for the first time..
I followed LINKSLOVESANDROID's tut and got S-Off..
I want to try InsertCoin, but I saw this:
Requirements:
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I need to partition my SD .. I think I'll do ok at this part..
It means that I can choose from A2SD or A2SD+, right?
So.. I'm gonna choose A2SD+.. then I only need to download
Bravo Stock - 250M at alpharev.nl then follow the procedures from it ?
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Ehm.. the question is.. I need to flash the hboot BEFORE loading the InsertCoin, is that correct?
And the link to download MOD shows two versions.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 A2SD
InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7
Are they related to what I chose at the requirements earlier?
i.e. InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 A2SD (Requirement: A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT)
InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 (Requirement: A2SD CM7 HBOOT)
Lil bit confused..
Thanks in advance!!

This requirements mean, you can choose between two versions:
One version, if you have stock hboot, another version, if you have cm7 hboot.
I guess you have stock hboot. So you should download the one for stock hboot. No need to flash custom hboot.
The differences between a2sd and a2sd+ are the following:
a2sd: only apps will be moved on ext partition of sd card
a2sd+: apps and cache will be moved on ext partition of sd card
Ext4 is the fastest and as long as the rom supports it (what insertcoin does), i would recommend to use this partition.
But with searching the corresponding thread, you will find your answers. If still unsure, just ask the developer himself directly.

I recommend the cm7 hboot and a2sd solution with 1gb ext4. Far faster than the other

Answer required for basic questions

Dear All,
I have below questions , kindly answer them.
My Desire details.
Desire SLCD
ROM: Stock Froyo out of the box.
BRAVO PVT4 S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Root: unrevoked 3.21 + recovery
a] Found anwser....
I have rooted my device and have taken nandroid back-up using recovery.
b] If I restore my nadroid back-up
1] will it be in rooted state ?
2] will it flash hboot ? or only android system ?
c] Considering, I S-off using alhparev and flash one of Hboot from alpharev site
1] I can still go back to stock bravo hboot right ?
2] After I flash one of the hacked hboot and then try to restore a nandroid backup which was actually backed up when I had stock hboot(or any other hboot), which means partition size will be different , will it flash properly?
d] If I flash any RUU [ Including latest HTC GB RUU] , will it replace hboot also ?
e] Now if i flash any latest HTC STOCK GB based ROMs ( with hacked hboot)
1] Is My ROM still in rooted state ?
2] Can I still restore my nandroid backup straightaway which i had taken at very beginning when i had stock HBOOT ? or do i have to flash stock HBOOT first and then restore my backup ?
f] How many S-off metthods are available ? Please guide me to the tutorial for doing S-OFF [ im not able to find proper link]
g] I found that for flashing cm7 r2 hboot cm7 hboot is required but in alpharev site i din find cm7 hboot, though i found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16090990&postcount=3879, do I really need to flash cm7 hboot first and then cm7 rc2 ?
I am planing to flash my first Custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940. So final question
The above ROM requires
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
what do you mean by A2SD or A2SD+ here ? Are they same Hboot which r listed in alpharev.nl ?
Hope i will get answers for my questions
Thanks in advance...
I think that you should wait to s-off until you have the basics sorted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805247
s off
you can s off in 2 seconds with alpharev.nl hboots

Thanks.. Im going to do S-OFF using alpharev virtual machine.. ill post back once done .
Next i will try to flash cm7 hboot using SD card technique or using android flasher
Thanks
I would advise against using virtual machine unless you are experienced with it .... You get connectivity issues between VM and usb... which interupts the process.... there is an option but I cannot for the life of me remember it!! It basically stops you having to constantly reconnect usb if that helps lol
CD is better
Dear All,
Thanks for all ur help
Did S-OFF using alpharev on VMWare machine
Flashed CM7 HBOOT using fastboot ( Android Flasher )
Flashed [ROM][01/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT
TESTING ...
observing some issues SMS.. while typing some time it automatically get saved as draft.. Well ill report this in ROM thread
Thanks
Though i have sucesfully, Rooted, S-SOFF, installed HBOOT C7 and flashed insertcoin ROM.. i wanted to clarify few things...
In insertcoin They have mentioned below requirement.
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
a] I am aware of A2SD application which is used to move installed applications from phone memory to SD card memory. I am also aware of HBOOTS CM7, CM7r2, STOCK etc... But what do you mean by A2SD CM7 HBOOT or A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT here ?
b] I have formatted my 2GB SD card as 1GB Ext4 and remaining FAT32. But i just wanted to know
1] Who will be using this 1GB Ext4 partition ?
2] If we install A2SD application and move apps to SD card , are they going to be stored in EXT4 partition or FAT32 partition?
3] Can we read EXT4 partition contents in phone using any file explorer ?
4] Finally, why cant we use EXT4 partition alone if it has more advantage ?
I have flashed ROM.. but i just wanted to improve Knowledge
Thanks

[Q] Boot Loop after flashing ROM

Hi guys,
I know that there are many threads about this topic, but no one of them helped me to find a solution for my problem. I hope somebody of you can give me the right advise how i can fix my phone.
These are the steps I did:
- Unrevoked Root
- AlphaRev S-OFF
- Installed Bravo CM7 r2 (by doing wipes in recovery-mode and install PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip)
Now I wanted to install one of these ROMs:
[ROM] Aurora v02
[ROM]Cool3D Sense 3.0
I proceeded like it is described everywhere. I choosed "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe Davik" and then clicked on "Flash zip from sdcard" and choosed the zip.
However, my phone will stuck in a "quietly brilliant" loop. I proceeded a few times without success.
What did i do wrong?
You need 1gb ext4 partition on SD Card.
Repartition your SD, wipe everything and reflash again.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
What Hboot you have?
Usually roms have two versions - stock and alternative hboot version
If you have stock hboot table use stock rom
Yes all you need is to download the right version of the rom cool3d CM7 r2, partition your sd with first FAT32 and the second EXT4 partition. 1gb EXT4 is enough. then wipe everything and flash your rom. then boot the rom set it up, restart it and flash app2sd (stockusers.zip from coolexe), don't flash a2sd right after the rom!!

Do what he says and it will work...
If you want even more space, then flash Bravo CM r2 hboot from alpharev...
Remember to update your radio also...
There is some small bugs in the ROM, but they are easy to fix
Sorry, just to add if you are on cm r2, you may flash the rom, run it, set it up, and then reboot and flash a2sd.kd.zip it will move dalvik cache to sd-ext, as i understand his roms for cm r2 contain a2sd from the start. so you get all aps on sd-ext and also dalvik on sd-ext.

[Q] Cool3D Aces V6 internal memory full

I have just installed the v6 of this ROM, but when I install it, it says internal memory almost full, and I get alot of error messages of apps crashing or stopping unexpectantly.
I have made a full wipe, system, cache, boot, SDext and so on.
I have SDext4 1GB on my SD
I have th following hBoot
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Am i missing something?? I have tried to add the ROM several times now, and it keeps on saying the internal memory is almost used.
Switched to AcesMod007 instead, it works super slick and very very fast..

Just changing rom is not always a good tip. For example in this case!
@OP:
Did you flash CM7r2 hboot via fastboot? I guess that because you are on hboot version 6.93.1002. If yes, did you make sure you downloaded / flashed the CM7-version of Cool3D?
I guess the OP still on stock hboot that explaining the internal memory almost full. What the OP need is to flash the stock_hboot.zip which will move the frameworks folder from data partition to system partition.
Download the stock-hboot.zip from the thread page 1 or here
http://www.multiupload.com/5O3P1HFW32
I'm still a bit new at all this, so no I did not download the stock_hboot.zip
I didn't think it was nessecary. Still learning how to understand all this information inhere, and there's quite alot though. Many of the terms inhere is still new for me, so I'm trying to understand it all.
But thank you for the info, I'll have to try this soon so I can see if the Cool3D is the one I want instead...
But for now the AcesMod007 works great on my phone.

With witch program did you partition your SD card? Recovery or GParted?
I have used Gparted to partition my SD-card.
Did you first create FAT32-partition and then EXT4-partition and set both ones primary?
Swyped from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Yes, first Fat32 and then Ext4 both as primary.
Please download Terminal Emulator from Market, run it and post the output of this command here:

Almost all sense 3.5 roms need ext4 partition to boot
U need to divide your sd cards into two partitions
Fat32 and 1 or 1.5 gb ext4
U can use g-parted or ext4 recovery
There is a lot of tutorials on xda that shows u how to do it step by step , with video too

Ding! ding! ding!
Problem determined.
Sense 3.5 roms (although I've never bothered using one) would prolly require an EXT partition on the SD card. Check all those sense 3.5 threads and it will definitely tell you that you need a 4EXT or 3EXT partition on the SD card.
alright sweet thanks heaps.
would it be reasonable to have a 4gb card and split into 3gb and 1 gb?
Yes,choose ext4 partition 1gb or more, skip,skip.
More info here ;-) :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/runnymededesire/files/AROME-GUI/4ext_Partition Guide.pdf/download
Usually sense 3.5 (runnymede ect..) Take 1gb-1.5gb max. Check the post where u downloaded the rom and check install requirments

It's good that you found this, however, most custom ROMs (in addition to partitioning your SD card as already mentioned) will also require the phone's internal memory to be partitioned and this is what we mean by "what Hboot?".
Hboots will come in different formats and offer different internal partition tables. It is important to use a Hboot that is compatible with your ROM of choice. You will see which Hboot you need in the first or second post of the ROM you've dowloaded. Once you know this, download the correct Hboot from here http://alpharev.nl/ then use a tool such as Android Flasher to flash this to your phone, before you install new ROM. Be sure to flash "Bravo Downgrader" first, then Hboot of choice.

The partition will not show in the phone storage, but it will still be there, doing its job. From what I know, the ROM doesn't move Dalvik Cache to ext, so that will consume space. Install this from recovery to move data/app and Dalvik to ext: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48303918/apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED.zip
How did you partition your sd-card? If it wasn't with 4ext recovery or Gparted, do it again using this guide:

Use 4EXT recovery (requires s-off) or gparted as advised, do not use cwm.
Make 2 partitions, fat32 and ext4, no swap

Are you even following the guide posted above or what I posted?
Backup the sd card, start again. Make the partition without swap, you don't need it
Then if you read the first post of the rom thread:
* Cyanogen A2SD script tweaked by me, moves both Apps and Dalvik to EXT.
So the partition should work automatically, don't flash anything else. As stated above you won't 'see' your total internal memory = 'internal + sd-ext', but it is working. Use an app like 'DiskUsage' to check and browse all your partitions
Also currently I assume you are on stock hboot with 250MB System, 40MB cache and small 147MB Data
If you want a bit more space for apps, you can flash data++ hboot as advised in the first post
DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data
Search for guide how to flash hboot, recommend to flash using fastboot
.Thanks i am thinking to install nano version , can u please give a video link how to Flash Hboot and get latest one. whats its function ?
and when i install firmawre i then install Cyanogen A2SD script to work properly my aprtitions

Don't know about the nano version...you need to understand how big the /system size of that version is before you choose the right hboot. Search or ask in rom thread. Or download the rom.zip and open it (don't need to extract) with program like 7zip, check the /system size
It's not about 'latest' hboot. Download the hboots from alpharev.nl, you'll see them all listed. You choose the 'right' one to fit your Rom's /system size, therefore maximum /data (internal memory) >>> more space for apps :good:
For instance if the nano version has /system size 175MB, it will fit into data++ hboot with 180MB /system, you waste only 5MB and get and 252MB /data
However if you install it on stock hboot like you have now, it has 250MB /system, so you waste 75MB on /system, only get 147MB /data
Please try to understand this before proceeding...
To change hboot, search 'HTC Desire how to flash hboot' (I'm on mobile), I recommend to findguide which uses fastboot
Eventually:
- Backup everything if you haven't already, apps using titanium, contacts top Google account etc
- Backup and repartition sd card as instructed
- Flash recommended hboot
- Reboot back into recovery
- Full wipe ('wipe all partitions except sdcard' within 4EXT)
- Flash rom.zip and reboot
and when i install firmawre i then install Cyanogen A2SD script to work properly my aprtitions

You don't need to flash anything extra, the rom comes with an a2sd script...

the link u give i found Bravo CM7 r2 has 287 MB space Bravo Oxygen r2 has 332MB space so if i install oxygen r2 i will get more sapce but it has low 5MB cache so it will effect performance or not if cahe size decrease ?
and how can i install these HBoot ? from recovery Menu ! and then falsh every thhing cahe etc ... and install rom then !
& ont site u givn is written "AlphaRev 1.8 is now deprecated software. If at all possible, use Revolutionary instead.' i have already used Revolutionary and there is pink labeled on top when phone enter into Fastboot Mode

Did you even read what eddie said? Try taking a look at his post above again, and understand what he is saying before you do anything.
cm7r2 or oxygenr2 will not work with cooldroid (not enough space for system). You need to check the system size of the rom, before looking at how much data you get.
Cooldroid needs atleast 165mb on the system partition. Therefore the most optimal hboot would be data++ like eddie and the OP of cooldroid said. Also 5mb is fine for the cache partition. I doubt you will notice any performance problems, so its nothing to worry about.
To install the hboot you can either use fastboot (you need the .img version of the hboot) or the PB99IMG method (you need the .zip version of the hboot).
Download the hboots from alpharev.nl,
hi thanks for your kindness

Don't know about the nano version...you need to understand how big the /system size of that version is before you choose the right hboot. Search or ask in rom thread. Or download the rom.zip and open it (don't need to extract) with program like 7zip, check the /system size
It's not about 'latest' hboot. Download the hboots from alpharev.nl, you'll see them all listed. You choose the 'right' one to fit your Rom's /system size, therefore maximum /data (internal memory) >>> more space for apps :good:
For instance if the nano version has /system size 175MB, it will fit into data++ hboot with 180MB /system, you waste only 5MB and get and 252MB /data
However if you install it on stock hboot like you have now, it has 250MB /system, so you waste 75MB on /system, only get 147MB /data
Please try to understand this before proceeding...
To change hboot, search 'HTC Desire how to flash hboot' (I'm on mobile), I recommend to findguide which uses fastboot
Eventually:
- Backup everything if you haven't already, apps using titanium, contacts top Google account etc
- Backup and repartition sd card as instructed
- Flash recommended hboot
- Reboot back into recovery
- Full wipe ('wipe all partitions except sdcard' within 4EXT)
- Flash rom.zip and reboot
Please read the rom thread and what I have posted...
You don't need to flash anything extra, the rom comes with an a2sd script...

The table has each hboot info listed. Fist column is the size of /system (This should be the ROM size + 5mb), second column is the size of /cache (Doesn't really matter) and the third column is the size of /data, the internal memory. You choose the best for your ROM (As I said, it should be larger than ROM size +5mb)
Thanks for Reply

That ROM is 244 MB in size, so you need a hboot with a 250 MB /system partition.
The CM7r2 and Oxygen hboots have smaller /system partitions, so the ROM won't fit.
Thanks got little more
ok if hboot is 250Mb installed then Rom will also install under 250MB . thats good
i need sapce so want to install The CM7r2 and Oxygen hboots have smaller /system partitions then where can i find smaller size ROM

Try Non-sense ROMs, like Mildwild ROMs They work fine with the cm7r2 hboot.
Cool droid works with Data++ hboot aswell so ud have a bit more internal memory.
Thanks man i learn alot from u

Yes make the partition first. I would suggest this order: install optimized hboot for the rom you want, create partition. full wipe, flash rom.
Most of milwilds roms come with a2sd built in so you dont need to install anything extra.
