Change the room - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I just wanted to tell u that am in Cyangonen room and my cell phone is already s-off and I did the partion to internal memory for Cm r2 but I want to try another room which is muiu room. But I can't flash it through recovery. Is it because of the partion? If yes; how can I flash it again?

Why you cant flash it, any error?

Make sure you configured your sd card corresponding to the miui version you flash.

when using the cm7 hboot you need to flash the market cache fix after you flash the ROM.. and if you're unable to flash it through recovery I'd try turning off signature verification (in advanced settings).
If I were you I'd use the Data++ hboot for MIUI though.. worked better for me on that. And always remember to check the MD5Sums when flashing hboots, as a corrupted file can brick your phone.

and +1 to that, you need an EXT partition, you can use gparted or minitool partition wizard. I'd recommend EXT4 since it's meant to give better performance, but cation: not all ROM's support EXT4

Thank you so much sir.
But i used the CM R2 partion, can i use the data++ partion on the it from flashing it through recovery?
if yes how?
because I was thinking to make the phone s-on again and use the room then i'll make it s-off again and do the partion thing?
Do u think this will work??
Thanks you again

If you have 1 EXT partition make sure you are flashing A2SD version.
Also full wipe/factory reset & dalvik wipe prior to flashing new ROM.

you don't need to go S-ON and then back to S-OFF to change the hboot..
visit www.alpharev.nl and flash it through FASTBOOT NOT recovery
and again, remember to check the MD5 with the tool I gave you!!!

how can i flash it through the fastboot?!!! i only know how to do it through the recovery?
Thanks dude

you can either do it with cmd or you can use fastboot commander to do it, fastboot commander would be easier as it has a GUI that is easy to work with, however it requires Java JDK and Android SDK. It's use is pretty self explanatory, so you should understand how to use it pretty easily.
If you would like to do it through cmd (also requires android sdk.. or at least fastboot.exe) then put your downloaded hboot.img into c:\ and type:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_alphaspl-data.img
fasboot reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
"bravo_alphaspl-data" is the name of the hboot, that will obviously change if you want to flash a different hboot
Also, the fact that it's not installing *might* somehow be a recovery problem... I'd replace it just in case lol (I'd recommend the one from my signature), download it and put it in c:\
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img
Note: if you downloaded the CM "themed" recovery then it will be called "recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img" instead.

Gonna S-OFF my Desire - few questions

1. Do i need to flash default recovery before i S-OFF, actually i have CWM 2.5.0.7 (i believe it will be replaced with AlphaRev recovery 2.5.1.8?)
2. Do i have to wipe everything in my phone, including ROM ? (i have RCMixHD d2ext ATM), or i need to revert stock RUU first?
3. SDCard need to be formatted without EXT partition when doing S-OFF?
4. Reverting to stock RUU will Root my phone again?
1. read the guide
2. read the guide
3. read the guide
4. Just do as the guide says
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
Follow what is said EXACTLY .... I used Virual Machine because I had no disks to burn, but burning a disk is probably easier
If the guide does not tell you to wipe your phone, then dont wipe your phone
Guide you linked doesnt say to wipe anything, and this is quote from official AlphaRev website:
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.

Are you using Data2Ext then? You didn't state that...
Revert to a rooted rom with no data2ext
... Then
CD version
1.download Alpha Rev.iso
2.burn .iso image to CD using a iso burning software eg. Power ISO
3.boot from CD eg. Hold F12 at boot
4.press the Legendary enter
TIPS connect USB when the CD has booted + DON'T TOUCH IT UNLESS IT TELLS YOU TO
PREREQUISITES :
a ROOTed HTC Desire ROM with debugging option enabled.
a computer running Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 or 64 bits), Linux, or Emulation via WMware etc.
a computer which can boot USB devices.
a a CD to burn.

Make sure you read everything several times first and understand everything before you do this.
1. You phone will not get wiped while setting your phone to s-off but you will need to wipe it when you flash a new partition table. If you flash a new table you should wipe your cache before taking a backup or it will not fit in the new partition sizes.
2. I would wipe your phone and flash a ROM that doesn't have d2ext or anything such as that. I had mine running Oxygen when I went through this.
3. I'm not sure about removing your EXT partition but I don't think it will cause any problems..though if you're flashing a new table to gain more space the EXT might not be needed. Oxygen runs better without it.
4. Flashing your RUU WILL root your phone again...no need to do that.
Ok i did S-OFF my phone successfully, i have corresponding HBOOT image on my SD card, im in FASTBOOT mode but i dont understand this step:
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)
Click to expand...

How i can type anything in there? i dont see any console or whatever, i can choose: Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, Power Down.
You need to have ADB installed and you run those commands from CMD on your PC while your phone is in Fastboot.
And have the HBOOT img file in the /tools folder where were you put your ADB files.
Connect your Phone to the PC in fastboot.
You must have Android SDK installed on your PC.
Then run the fastboot command from the Command promt from your PC.
Also the .img file must be in the same place as the fastboot.exe.
I just downloaded PBIMG99.zip flashed it on fastboot and it worked fine, thanks for help guys

[Q] Where to start?

Hi,
I just bought a Desire today.
its
S-OFF
rooted
running leedroid v2.3d
thats all I know.
Im downloading the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 Rom right now.
How do I get things right without messing up my phone?
pls someone guide me how to install this rom propely and what's the required files etc2
Im really confused right now.
read a bunch of stuff here and couldnt find an answer
hopefully someone would help me out
thanks!
edit:what's the MD5sum for?
it says as a requirement on the insercoin thread that its either a
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
which one should I use/download?
the ROM that I downloaded has a md5sum of MD5: b7e9f7e7dc60b79874920dfcde50ac76
please please anyone?
MD5 sum is to chceck if your download was uncorrupted. MD5 of downloaded file must be identical to the one provided in ROM thread ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUMS, if you flash for example corrupted hboot or radio it WILL brick your device
now, what you must do, since you are already rooted and S-OFFed:
1) make sure you have 1GB ext3/4 partition on your SD card, AFTER FAT32
if it is there, you are OK, if not use Gparted (bootable CD) to make one, mount SDcard in recovery and partition your SD
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
3) boot into recovery, wipe all, wipe dalvik and choose to flash downloaded insertcoin.zip
once it ends reboot, and after 15min it should boot up android, if not pull the battery cause smth didnt work out.
what could have gone wrong:
-your sd-ext wasnt done properly (double check or re-do)
-your recovery was outdated (report back here, i will help you updating it)
thanks for the response!
how do i check for the md5 of my downloaded file?
I have a clockworkmod v2.5.0.7
im downloading gparted now and will the files on to a disc after.
or can I use any partition master apps?like minitool or easeus partition?
please guide me how to partition it properly
its a 16gb kingston class 6
and how do i update my recovery just do be sure
edit: sorry for these noobie questions. I was really shocked how hard it is compared to flashing hd2s and defys
and yeah I have adb installed on my pc with the required files in it. the thing is I never used it. not even once sorry :0
anyway will try repartitioning my sd card now
you can check MD5 with program called HashTAB: once you install it, right click on file, choose properties and choose file hashes panel.
updating your recovery: find topic here on desire forums for clockwork mod 4.0.0.5 - if you download a .zip file you can use a fake-flash method which means booting into CWM 2.5.0.7 then choosing to flash CWM4.0.0.5.zip and this will launch new CWM, however you must do it every time you go into recovery.
if you want a permanent install of CWM 4.0.0.5 download its .img file, check MD5, put it into your androidSDK folder, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt (cmd) type:
cd X:/ANDROIDSDKLOCATION/tools [navigate to your SDK installation folder]
fastboot devices [this should give a serial number]
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img [.img file must be inside /tools folder]
and it will flash it permanently
you can find a video tutorial on how to partition SD in Desire Android Development sticky thread, its one of the first 3 or 4 threads, videos for noobs, all is there
also in thread tagged [TUT] you can find video on how to use ADB
I just partitioned my sd properly w/ gparted
downloaded the Desire_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-j_r0dd_mod.zip
what do you recomend?fake flash or flash it permanently?
and could you please clarify this
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, what should I place on the root of my SD card?the zip file or the .IMG file?then once I press vol+power I just wait then accept then it will install it?
then after that I just copy the nandroid backup onto my SD card and flash?
one more thing.
what's the best or recommended radio?
note:I cant connect to any data connection.either using 2g/wcdma,wdcma only or 2g only.
I dont know if it's the rom or what.hope its not a hardware issue though
My reception is always full by the way
note:here's what I did. placed the PB99IMG.zip on the sd then turned the device off then pressed vol down + power, a prompt asked for a update.I said yes then asked me to reboot. I answered no then went to clockwork recovery then flashed the insercoin rom after wiping cache and dalvik and factory data reset.rebooted the device and now im waiting for my phone to completely boot.
hope I made everything right
you gotta read more carefully dude
as i said, if you downloaded CWM.ZIP (ZIP FILE) FAKE-FLASH is the ONLY thing you can do with it. if you would have .IMG FILE permanent flasing from fastboot would be the only possibility. SOZ BOUT THAT !!! i just looked at this files, it is not flashable ZIP, this is an .img file packed into a .zip (LOL) unpack it, check MD5 Sum provided inside the .zip file and flash it using fastboot !!!
also some instructions taken from alpharev.nl (they are just under the table with hboots): You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
so rename the cm7r2.zip you have to PB99IMG.zip and put it on your SD (not in any folders) then go to bootloader with VolDown+Power, wait around 10 seconds and confirm flashing new HBOOT
after doing this, you cannot simply restore a NANDROID (if a ROM was made for stock hboot, it will not work on CM7 hboot this should be kinda obvious) you must flash a ROM designed form CM7 hboot so, for example InsertCoin CM7 (it is because on stock hboot system files are 250MB, and then on CM7 you have only 145mb, so restoring a NANDROID that had 250MB/system wont work, wont fit, wont boot)
i suggest you read full info available on www.alpharev.nl
best radio ? well i am an up-to-date geek so i always use the newest though you should be fine with any. if you encounter any problems though (with reception or wifi etc) you should consider upgrading your RADIO. however if you will change your HBOOT to CM7 (which is also treated as data++ by alpharev AND Ultimate Online Kitchen cause of the /cache size) you will be able to flash new radio ONLY from fastboot (it is also said on alpharev.nl :If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.)
about data connection.
go into settings > wireless > acces points (you gotta find it, i dunno how are these named in other laungauges) and set up your APN correctly (you should find correct settings for your mobile provider on thier website, or just google it)
closing remarks:
remember that if ANYONE was helpful to you, hit the 'thanks' button if you got any more questions, i am more than happy to help
thanks a lot bro!
Im now running on insertcoin w/o any probs.
many many thanks for your help.
PS:gave you a couple of thanks

This process like takes 30-40 secs now.. at first this screen used to appear for a second or two... but now its taking hell lot time and slow...
There is no .zip file in SDcard...
Whats wrong?
it always does that "search" for those files so don't worry about it, but never takes THAT long.. if you're S-OFF try flashing a new Hboot, could help.
If you're not S-OFF, then S-OFF using this, get different Hboots from here and check the MD5's with the tool attached - always check md5 of critical files before flashing as you can brick your phone.

actually I had done S-OFF some 2 months back and it was working fine.. The $Ext recovery i flashed is also working fine... takes atleast 10 secs to show the Recovery screen but still shows...
But it was after flashing this 4Ext recovery I got this error of Slow booting... it never hapened before it..
BTW I had flashed the recovery using Terminal Emulator... At first I tried using .zip file by lacing in SD card but it didnt work so I extracted the recovery.img file and flahed with terminal emulator...
Can it be possible that 4Ext recovery is causing this error...
not entirely sure... but you could always try flashing a different recovery.. try the one from my signature and put it where in the tools folder of your android sdk for ease..
Code:
cd\
cd android-sdk/tools
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img
you can use cmd or use fastboot commander.. whichever is easier for you

Maybe when you was trying to flash the recovery with PB99IMG.zip in HBOOT you then forgot to delete the file and it keep detecting it and trying to flash?
Just my 5 cents.

yes, just make sure to put it in the root of your sdcard. you "wont" lose all your data but you may be put into a bootloop because of the partition changes so do a nandroid backup

oh yeah true, but it's still got practise to have a nandroid backup just in case, so you don't loose your data
SOLVED
Thanks to jjdoctor, this was solved for me (was taking 2 mins plus for each of the 4 checks, totalling aprox 12mins for bootloader to run) by formatting the sdcard in my phone using 4ext recovery. I took a nandroid, copied off the sdcard contents, formatted the card (ext4 and fat32), and then restored the card contents, and then restored the nandroid. Works perfectly now.
jjdoctor fixed his/hers by creating the partitions using gparted on PC and then re-formatting in the phone, but I just formatted it straight on the phone. Hope it help someone else.

If that doesn't work you need a RUU, has to be the correct one for your phone... unless you've made a goldcard of course, in which case all you'd need to do is flash the latest WWE RUU

If you can then take it to the nearest HTC service center, they will tell you whether it's motherboard malfunctioning or not..
I've got mine from UK and it's got the same problem and examined to have motherboard issues..

Same problem - stuck at boot screen after flashing ROM
Hello there,
I wanted to root my phone, & I think I have done everything I think I should.
1. Rooted using unrEVOked method.
2. Flashed AmonRA 2.0.1 recovery
3. S-OFF using AlphaRev 1.08
4. Installed CM7r2 hboot
5. Flashed the latest radio
I wanted to flash LeeDroid's ROM:

I also tried to flash these ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
Everything went well up until first boot. It stuck at the boot screen! (Joker with S-OFF card)
Everytime before I flash a ROM, I:
1. Wiped ALL userdata
2. Wiped sd:ext
3. Wiped cache
4. Wiped dalvik cache
I thought the size of my previous SD Card (2GB) might be the cause, because I can't create enough partition size for Ext2 & Ext 3. I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to partition my SD Card.
Therefore, I bought a 4GB SD Card to resolve the issue. Still not successful.
I did a Nandroid backup, but unfortunately when I wanted to restore to the stock Froyo, it also stuck at the boot screen! Backup was completed, but stuck at the boot screen.
I pulled the battery after at least 20 minutes at the boot screen.
My phone is:
AlphaRev CM7
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF (erasesize 40000)
HBOOT-0.93.1000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
So now, my HTC Desire is useless. I hope somebody can help me with this. Thanks a lot.

Go to here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html and download fastboot.exe and put it in your c:\
Then, open command prompt, boot your phone into fastboot and plug it in via USB.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
Everything went well up until the first boot. It stuck at the boot screen! (Joker with S-OFF card)
Everytime before I flash a ROM, I:
1. Wiped ALL userdata
2. Wiped sd:ext
3. Wiped cache
4. Wiped dalvik cache
I thought the size of my previous SD Card (2GB) might be the cause, because I can't create enough partition size for Ext2 & Ext 3. I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to partition my SD Card.
Therefore, I bought a 4GB SD Card to resolve the issue. Still not successful.
I did a Nandroid backup, but unfortunately when I wanted to restore to the stock Froyo, it also stuck at the boot screen! Backup was completed, but stuck at the boot screen.
I pulled the battery after at least 20 minutes at the boot screen.
My phone is:
AlphaRev CM7
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF (erasesize 40000)
HBOOT-0.93.1000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
So now, my HTC Desire is useless. I hope somebody can help me with this. Thanks a lot.

if you're using clockworkmod recovery, go to mounts and storage, and wipe everything apart from the sd-card (so wipe: boot, system, cache, userdata, sd-ext) Then try flashing again.
if you're not using clock, in fastboot USB, open cmd and type
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot wipe boot
fastboot wipe system
fastboot wipe userdata
fastboot wipe cache
fastboot wipe sd-ext (not sure about that one, never done that command with cmd over fastboot so might be wrong lol)
fastboot oem gencheckpt
I flashed a ROM - finally!
Finally!
I achieved success after a week or so trying.
I decided to flash a Gingerbread AOSP, & in the FAQ, the developer (Faryaab) said since I have my device S-OFF, I don't have to flash the build with A2SD.

OK thanks a lot.
even though I have solved my issue, I will take this into consideration if I have this kind of problem again.

[Q] Serious problem after flashing new Hboot - Need quick help [solved]

Hey everyone,
I just did something wrong i guess...I had CM7r2 Hboot and wanted to switch to the Oxygen Hboot in order to use the Oxygen ROM. So i downloaded the Oxygen Hboot, checked and verified the MD5sums, opened android flasher, chose the oxygen Hboot image and flashed it like I did with the CM7r2 before.
Problem now is that i can't boot into bootloader when holding Vol down+Power. instead the phone reboots into Recovery (Ext4) again and again and again. the recovery simply reloads all the time...
Because I can't boot into bootloader I can't flash the old Hboot or anything. And i can't use recovery because it reloads all the time
I am seriously f***ed and don't know what to do know!
Any help will be highly appreciated. I do have android-sdk and adb tools on my PC but never used them. If that is of any help...
I am pretty nervous now and afraid I broke me phone Please help!
Edit: Now it suddenly worked and i can get into bootloader. phew...that should make things easier ^^ It says Oxygen R2, so the flashing process worked. What should i do now? Maybe flash a new/different recovery? Try booting the recovery again? Don't wanna mess it up now that i got back into bootloader..
My original plan was installing the new hboot, wipe everything and clean install...
Get fastboot commander (it's a much better program, but requires SDK and JDK, links on my guide)... when you've got it working then:
Open FBC, go to the "misc" tab and select
-recovery
-boot
-system
-data
-cache
and click "erase chosen partitions"
Then use it to flash a new recovery.
Meh forget this, easier and faster method below...
Thanks for the quick reply. Did you see my edit in first post? Is your procedure then still necessary?
From your troubelshooting guide i guess my recovery is somehow corrupted, right? So flashing a new recovery using android flasher ( i am used to it and would save me time working myself into fastboot commander) should do the job, roght?

if you're paranoid (and I would be) then yes lol
Actually you can just do it with cmd, it'd be easier... unpack the attached file into c:\
open cmd and type: (make sure you boot into fastboot mode)
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata (or fastboot erase data, can't remember which)
fastboot erase cache
Then use android flasher and flash a recovery (whatever one you want)..
then flash oxygen
This is just to be on the safe side btw, maybe your recovery screwed itself or something.. That's at least what I'd do anyway.. I mean if it works normally then you may not need to do anything, but I'd just be paranoid lol.
Ok, I did everything as you said, entered the cmd lines and flashed the current clockworkmod version as well as Oxygen. ROM booted and is working fine so far.
Thank you very much for your help!
Okay so i want this Oxygen ROM too. I am currently on the cm7/r2 hboot.
Would you recommend I move to another hboot then flash this rom?

If the hboot requirement for Oxygen ROM is oxygen hboot, then it is recommended to change the hboot. It should work without change of hboot but you are wasting 45mb which you can use as internal data storage.
If you are on Cm7r2, you can also add more apps to the Rom zip (Simply put the apk's in the system/apps folder) in order to use these 45mb and maybe leave a little space for themes, addons, customizations in case you want something like this. With Oxygen Hboot i couldnt even flash a UOT.zip because there's no more space. So I'd recommend Cm7r2 for anyone using Oxygen together with themes etc.
