any way to do this because i forgot to make a backup and i was installing a theme and it just went into boot loop please help
You have to use adb push command to push it to your SD card, or mount USB storage in recovery to put it there.
Then you can install it.

also i am getting pb311diag errors not sure if you know what that means
Just find a ROM you want to run in the Development forum, download it.
The adb command is a command line that is a part of Android SDK.

You can download the ROM you want to your computer, boot your phone into recovery, mount USB in mounts and storage, and drag and drop your ROM zip file there. Then install it like any other zip.
Make sure to clear all user data which is a factory reset, dalvik too in Advanced menu. Do this before flashing your ROM of choice.

Hey,
So Im new to the whole rooting/custom ROM area after moving to android from iOS (Best decision ever.).
I've managed to root my HTC Desire using unrevoked, so its fully rooted. But I want to install the baadnwz InsertCoin CM7/STOCK ROM to my Desire. As my mate recommended it too me.
It's located here: (Im not allowed to post links... Just google:
Code:
baadnwz InsertCoin CM7/STOCK v45
I havent got a clue wheere to start tbh.. I would definetly prefer to keep all my apps/contacts/messages and not do a reinstall, if possible.
Thanks in advance!

1. Backup all apps&data with Titanium Backup/My Backup Root
2. Go to recovery and do a nandroid backup
3. Put ROM's zip to sdcard
4. In recovery, Wipe all userdata and wipe dalvik cache
5. Install ROM's zip
6. Boot up
7. Install app what you used to back up and restore all apps
Wow thansk for the quick reply!
I've got titanium backup, will it backup EVERYTHING? So I basically have the same phone, with a few added features of the Custom ROM?
Also, do I not need to use ROM Manager at all?
Before you flash the ROM:
From what I get it (and I just flashed successfully v45 twice), you need:
1. ext3/4 partition after your fat32 on the sdcard (can be done manually by gparted or by ClockWorkMod in the menus)
2. s-off (using alpharev's iso on a stock rom, and from what I understand, it is necessary for v45.)
3. CM7 partition table (fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img, fastboot reboot-bootloader, fastboot erase cache. You get the image file from alpharev's site)
4. Clockworkmod 3.2 (alpharev gives you 2.5, you need to flash a new one or fakeflash it)
Only after that you flash the ROM.
-If you use free titanium backup u need to back up all apps one by one
-Yep, same phone with extra features
-No need for Rom manager
Thanks Q, forgot to mention those things
And if you don't want to flash CM7 partition sizes, just download A2SD version of insertcoin
Hey guys,
I was trying to install this INSERT COIN ROM (I had one of the previous versions) without any progress for a couple of days, untill I ran on this thread.
So I saw that I needed CWM 3...
(My issue was that I was not able to increase the internal phone storage via the ext4 partition.)
Did a search in the forum and found a link on how to flash it via ROM manager. It all went well, but downgraded my CWM version to 2.5.0.7 i think... And on the same thread a guy posted that he did a image flash from a Terminal Emulator.... Soooo... I decided to give it a try... I did everything and nothing happened...
What I thought of doing next was flashing a simple ROM before doing everything all over again. I got into bootloader (power off button and volume down) and when in go to recovery it gets stuck on the startup screen.
I'm sory if it is not the right place to ask, but I do not know what to do... Phone loads normaly, but without recovery...
And I am helpless right now...
Please, anyone advise how to proceed.
Thanks so much.
1. Is your phone rooted?
2. Is your phone s-off?
3. What do you see on the recovery stuck screen? (Is it a phone with a red triangle on it?)

The phone is both rooted and S-OFF.
I see the splash screen of AlphaRev and nothing more... Nothing happens, but when I remove the battery, insert it again and start it the phone loads. There is just no RECOVERY option.
Once you press Power+Vol Down, instead of going to recovery, go to fastboot mode, connect device to usb, and on your computer:
fastboot flash recovery image-file-of-new-recovery.img
where "image-file-of-new-recovery.img" is the image of cwm-2.5 or cwm-3.2.
Good luck, cross fingers, and no warranty provided

Isn't it supposed to have more than 200MB of free internal memory?
I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Tried every way...
IMHO this is one of the best guides I've seen so far for flashing a desire from start to finish:

Thanks, man. I'll give it a try & give feedback.
Summarizing the stages: (SERVED WITHOUT WARRANTY!!!)
SD Card partition table (purposed): (8GB)
7 GB FAT32
1 GB ext3/4 (without journaling!)
Then you need:
1. Root (I assume you have, use unrevoked otherwise)
2. Backup all
3. flash a stock rom
4. Use alpharev's iso to s-off
5. Rewrite partition table (internal phone partitions, not sdcard): fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img , fastboot reboot-bootloader , fastboot erase cache
6. Wipe all
7. flash ClockWorkMod 3.2 or fakeflash it.
8. flash InsertCoin ROM itself.
9. recommend to flash a new radio (fastboot flash radio radio_image.img)
(Ofcourse, if you already done some of these, just skip)
Correct me if I missed a thing!

Depends what partition table layout you are using. I use CM7 and after flashing i have ~210MB free internal memory

Okay then... Why do you need an separate 1GB ext3? On the previous INSERTCOIN I was using it was for app2sd, so I guess that this version does not support that.
And if that is the case... I fill a lot more relieved and dumber because I did everything right.
So if that is the issue, then if you get low on space? Move them to SD or there is some other trick?
Sory once again for the dumb questions.
Yes, that ext3 is for app2sd.
If you are low on space how much exactly do you have free internal memory?
Well, I have about 200MB now on a freshly flashed ROM. But i thought that it would be more, since on the previous INSERTCOIN that I had was about twice as much.
Does that mean that your InsertCoin installation is complete?
Hi all,
I was using the CM7 nightly 203, with the custom MTD partition 140 40. Just wanted to try Sunaabh ROM. Wil the old MTD partition give problems when i flash this new ROM? This ROM is 122MB in size. plz explain how to go abt in flashing this sense rom
Yes, it will. Sense ROMs need upwards of 200MB system partition. You will have to remove the Custom MTD Partitions before proceeding. (It can be removed by flashing Clockworkmod Recovery again, after wiping everything)
Thanks for the prompt reply I have not done that even once.. For this, i must go to ROM manager, Click on Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and then press "Flash Recovery." Or if am wrong, could you pls explain me?
Not sure if this will work for you too but it did for me, I first changed the settings in the txt file then flashed a new rom and ran the bravo boot zip again.
I did that going from cm7 to sfm and it worked for me without having to flash cwm.
I think if you just change the txt file to fit your new rom then run it all again as you install, should be fine.

No, that is the temporary way to do it, and it will not touch your actual Clockworkmod Recovery. I would recommend the Fastboot Method.
I have attempted to explain it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17633085&postcount=93
So, first boot to Clockworkmod Recovery, Go to Mounts and Storage, then select:
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /system
This will remove all data from your phone (Except stuff on the SDCard). Then, reflash Clockworkmod Recovery from the procedure I linked above.
EDIT: Or you can follow what Scratch wrote above. Make your settings the default (ie 250 40 by changing the values on the text), then proceed. Now that I think of it, his method is way more efficient.
Works perfect. But one question. I had values 190 and 40. But titanium back up shows 262mb of which 94 is free for system and 183mb of which 113 alone is free for internal. Have I done anything wrong ?

It seems to have reverted back to the Stock settings somehow... BTW, Ti Backup isn't the most reliable one to check the partitions. Use Terminal Emulator, and type su , followed by busybox df -h to get the exact values of all partitions.
I am having issues getting CM7 to run properly on my Desire.
Currently I have installed it by first flashing the ROM, then Gapps and finally Int2sd2.
However when I booted up my phone for the first time and titanium backup started installing all of my apps it ran out of space before it completed and now I keep getting loads of FC errors.
I've tried to work out how to use Int2sd2 to shift all of the internal apps over to my EXT4 partition but I can't work out how to do this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
The zips in the INT2SD thread are full ROMs, and not add-ons. You should first wipe everything, flash the CM7 INT2SD ROM (the zip in the thread) and then flash gapps. After this is done, simply reboot and everything should work out of the box. To check if INT2SD is doing its work, simply download a terminal emulator and run 'df'. You should see that /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted to /data. That device is actually your ext partition. If this is so, everything is fine.
I've just tried as you suggested namely first wiping and then flashing CM7-stable-INTS2SD.zip followed by gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
But I. Still getting fc errors even before I can enter my gmail login details.

why don't you troubleshoot?
Can you please send me your logcat output?
I'm trying to download a terminal while using CM7 but its proving quite difficult. ATM the phone is trying to retrieve all of my apps and is downloading them ultra slowly over WIFI for some reason and this is preventing me getting the terminal.
Use your PC, just set up the Android SDK and do 'adb logcat'. There's a great guide by Droidzone here.
I have stock hboot and currently running VJ's CM10.1 JB 4.2.2.
Despite the installation of the A2SD script, the free space of the device is really low. I thought of flashing a hboot that enables more space (Data++).
The problem is that the Data++ has a system partition size of 140MB and now, with the 250MB, there are 4MB left.
So, can I flash the Data++ hboot?
If so, what will this process require me to do?
Thank you for your time!

You can't. Your system is too big. You'll have to stick to the stock hboot, and use a different a2sd script, that also moves dalvik cache to sd-ext.
Can I find why has the system partition increased so much in size?
Most importantly, how can I flash another script?
Do I have to uninstall the current a2sd script firstly and then install the other via fastboot?
Do you recommend any a2sd scripts? Is this a good one?

Do a nandroid backup before proceeding!!
With a root explorer, go to system/etc/init.d and delete 10apps2sd. Then boot in recovery and install this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngseioig6t2m3ns/apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED.zip
It should also move dalvik cache to sd-ext.
Hey,
I assume you followed VJ's guide, and installed the a2sd xdata with the following settings Y | N | Y (=reboot).?
There is another thing you could try, and that is to run the xdata command in Terminal Emulator, which basicly mounts the entire /data partition to /sd-ext ! That however MAY cause some performance loss, especially if you have a lower that class 6 SD card.. However, I did it on my Desire, also running VJ's JB rom, and I can't notice any performance loss (=i have a 16 GB class 10 SanDisk SD card..)
As always, please do a nand back-up before trying anything.. If you choose to try this, just open Terminal Emulator, type "su" to get superuser permission, and then "a2sd xdata".. you might have to answer Y a couple of times, then the phone will reboot, take 5-10 mins to boot up (depending on how many apps you already installed. ), and violá: you should have your entire sd-ext partition as storage space..
Good luck!

@abaaaabbbb63:
Which one of the scripts mentioned here is this?
I've checked the bash script you've posted and the one in my /system/etc/init.d/ dir, and saw that the one I have, has a lot more code than that you've posted. Wouldn't there be a problem with this?
Also, is this going to remove anything from sd-ext and just mount dalvik cache to it, or it will add dalvik cache to sd-ext?
@hhaznadar85:
To start with, thank you for the detailed answer
Yes, this is the way I've installed it! I also, have a 16GB class 10 microSD card so I am thinking about trying this.
As you've said, xdata command mounts the whole data partition. Isn't there a command that moves dalvik cache to sd-ext so as to try this first?

It's a script i have been personally using on my desire with every ROM for the past year. It's simple, and moves data/app and dalvik cache to sd-ext.
You just flash it from recovery. Everything else will be moved my itself. Nothing will be deleted.
Ok then, I'll give it a go..
So to install the steps are:
1. nandroid backup before flashing the script
2. delete the file via root explore and flash the zip via recovery
Just in case, I need to restore the previous state, what should I do to minimize the loss of data (any data) ?

whoa, sorry to ask this here, but @abaaaabbbb63, you seem like someone who knows this s**t..: VJ's JB ROM comes with some modified version of the original DT A2sd script.. Is there any way to remove it, and install the "old" a2sd script..
List of things I've tried:
a.) right after flashing ROM, go into terminal, type su --> a2sd remove --> reboot.. once rebooted, get root explorer, nav to /system/etc/init.d and remove 10apps2sd file = didn't work
b.) right after flashing ROM, go into terminal, type su --> a2sd remove --> reboot.. once rebooted, get root explorer, nav to /system/etc/init.d and remove 10apps2sd + 05mountext + 06handleswap files = didn't work
c.) right after flashing ROM get root explorer, nav to /system/etc/init.d and remove 10apps2sd file = didn't work
d.) right after flashing ROM, get root explorer, nav to /system/etc/init.d and remove 10apps2sd + 05mountext + 06handleswap files = didn't work
e.) Right after flashing ROM, get root explorer, nav to /system/etc/init.d and remove 10apps2sd. THen to /system/bin and remove the a2sd file = didn't work..!
I'm pretty much starting to give up... but I would sooooooo love to have the original DT a2sd script with this ROM.. any way of achieving that..?
Thanks in advance,
- H
EDIT: Oh, yea.. and of course when I write "didn't work" I mean that I subsequently rebooted into recovery, flashed the DT a2sd script, and then stuck on boot.. Every time...

Try removing the 10apps2sd from the ROM zip itself, and replacing it with the "old" a2sd script. Then install the modified ROM zip from recovery.
I got to that result also. Finally i went back CM7.2..

I just tried flashing the zip, it succeeded had a successful boot, as well.
Sharing the experience:
1. deleted the script from /system/etc/init.d dir
2. booted to recovery:
got a slower boot (actually saw for the 1st time the "preparing to boot: x" message (where x, probably the percentage of completion)
got an error about mounting the system partition, telling me to wipe it..I simply rebooted to recovery and all went fine.
3. flashed the zip
4. rebooted and the rom loaded normaly with a delay of less than a minute
Now, I checked the Settings > Storage and saw the same amount of free space.
Booted into recovery and there's the info of the fs <mount point, free space>
system, 8.2MB
data, 27.8MB
cache, 38.8MB
How can I verify that the move of dalvik cache occurred?
Use an app like DiskUsage, browse all your partitions and see where the dalvik cache folder is located.
You can do this for any a2sd script on any rom, try to understand exactly what is stored where. All a2sd scripts are supposed to effectively achieve the same thing..
Eddie, thank you for the reply! I've used the DiskUsage app, and verified that dalvik cache is located at the sd-ext partition.
I've also seen that the sd-ext partition has 400MB free of a total of 1007MB.
Although, I tried installing Themer (15MB) and got the insufficient storage error.
Low memory warning comes from your /data partition, not your sd-ext
Check what is filling up /data
Make sure you have very little free space on /system as well as any free system space is wasted space. If this is the case your rom may fit into a smaller hboot
Hey! I did this with Chromium Rom. Maybe it will help..
1. Install data++ hboot from alpharev's website. 2. Flash Chromium rom build 11 slim.
3. Flash gaps.
4. Wipe cache + dalvik
5. Reboot twice - wait a few minutes every time. (Do only the performance options, but no script options)
6. Open terminal and write;
"a2sd xdata" --> yes --> yes
7. Wait again a few minutes.
8. Reboot again.
9. That's it!!!: D
