Hey there,
i am new here. I have quietly no idea of ROMs etc.
I rooted my desire and installed ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod Recovery
and i made a backup of the system and all apps on my sd card.
I read that i have to partitione my sd card. But I don´t know what it is etc..
Now i want to install MIUI, when its possible the German version.
I heard from a friend that this ROM is nice and take not so much battery as the HTC Sense Rom..
Please can everybody help me and give me instructions what i have to do.
Thanks a lot , Jakob
Hmm mate , all these answers are easily available if u search
but anyways since am replying may as well answer ur queries
use gparted (search and download) and format ur sd card get an ext4 partition if u want more space for apps ( install d2ext ord2sd miui rom)
download the required zip file , place it on ur sd card
boot into recovery and navigate to the location of ur rom and flash it using install from sd option ( although do a factory reset of ur phone and wipe other stuff as cache and all)
all the above options wud be available in recovery
in case u have a doubt search here in the forum or PM me
Use the guide posted here..

Follow the instructions to partition your sd card using GParted. It's not that difficult (there's a video you can follow).
Read the instructions fully on how to flash the ROM of your choice and then follow.
I flashed MIUI XJ on my friends desire yesterday and have to say it looks like a nice ROM. I'm almost tempted to ditch my GingerVillain for it...
God luck.
Thank you !!
But I dont even know where i can find the ROM file to download..
and i have no idea which version i should take.
A friend of mine told me, that i should download ROM Manager with ClockworkMod Recovery and make a backup..
I did this. Can I install the ROM with this program on my desire (Android 2.2), too or must it be donewith an programm on the PC ?
i'm sure u can dl the rom from here
Go to miui thread here on xda and follow installation instructions written there.

Thanks a your quick reply's!
I've used an other Miui rom and this on seems to work!
What do I have to do, to let my Desire let run the LeeDroid rom i've posted in my first post?
Greetz and already thanks ;-)
u need to use recovery 3.0.0.5 an make a new partion of ur sdcard
it makes partion ext3
And how can I make an partition with cwm? Greets
EDIT:
I've found out how to change my SD-card to ext3.
But it didn't work for me.
Make sure you still have root and are partitioning correctly
So maybe I have root my phone again?
There is a FAQ thread going around about LeeDroid 3.0 I can't link it because on my phone. Apparently people who are having success are using Hboot 0.93.xxx and Cwr 2.5.0.7, that's what I'm running and I'm using 3.0.2 right now

If you don't know about HBOOT, please check your bootloader.
Shut Down Phone
Press back button+powerbutton
Read the screen
Tell us what's HBOOT
If it's not 0.93.x.x , you may need to change it with either RUU or alpharev.nl
Hi,
I know this is probably an easy and simple question for everyone. But how do i go about installing a new ROM when i already have one on there. I have the Coolsense ROM on there at the moment and i want to go and install the latest Leedroid ROM. How do i go about doing this? This is probably a simple question but i really dont want to risk bricking my phone.
Thanks in advance
you can often find instructions in the opening post of the rom thread, boot into recovery and do a full wipe, make sure your sd card is partitioned appropriately if using data2sd or a2sd, make sure the zip you want to flash is on your sd card and click flash from zip file and choose the leedroid rom, that should be it..
Hi everybody,
I like other people have had memory limitation issues with my HTC Desire.
Done everything including root, s-off, partitioned sd card.I am now trying to upgrade to CM 7.1, the final step hopefully!!!
Note:I am currently using stock 2.3.3
Currently have CM 7.1 downloaded on computer and going to install....BUT every instruction I see requires me to have rom manager/ clockworkmod recovery. However, I can't install these because ''this app can't be installed in your country''. unfortunately used to this.
So does anyone by chance have any links to instructions or have instructions of how I can install this without downloading any apps, hopefully an idiot proof version.(Not worried about saving a recovery etc....phone is basically blank.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind Regards,
rkdeane
Put it on your SD card. Flash from recovery. See the CM wiki.
Recovery has nothing to do with Market.

So i looked on CM wiki but it wasn't clear to me.I have c/pasted what i saw below.
-By theme to they mean rom, bc didn't see any rom instructions.
-When it says copy to the root of my sd card, can i just copy the zip from my desktop to the sd card via windows, how do they mean the root of it??
-#4 , how do you flash. i see a flash image on the wiki, must i downlaod/install this??
Just double checking befor ei go experimenting and mess up soemthing.
Obviously a complete noob, but learning everyday, any help is much appreciated. thanks for the help so far guys.
__________________________________________________________
from wiki:
1.Perform a Nandroid Backup before flashing any theme.
2.Download a theme you like. Check the forums.
3.Copy the zipped theme file to the root of your SD card.
4.Flash it like you would any other .zip file.
from how to use recover (wiki):
HTC Desire (GSM) Hold Volume Down and the Power button, then use Volume Down to highlight "bootloader" and press the Power button to select it. Once in the bootloader, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the Power button to select.

Ok so tried to insta.
Did the following:
1)hboot
2)went into recovery
3)install .zip in sd card
it went into unrevoked and i selected the file and installed.
everything finished then exited.
but now all i get is a screen with cyanogen android guy on skateboard and and arrow going in circles around hope....looks like a screen saver that refreshed like every 5 seconds......so what do i do now????? seems soemhting did not go as planned.
Did you wipe? Read what I said last post
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
no did not wipe....have nothing installed on phone....and i cleared everything off of sd card before i put on the cm 7.1 zip...
unfortunately your post came acouple mins after i attempted !! as luck would have it.
goign through your faq's now to see if i can sort it out.....
cant get passed the screen saver....but i can get into hboot/recovery
i see your wipe comment below:
should i let it run for 10 mins?? i let it run for like 2 and figured it was just stuck.
should i do a factory reset....will that undo all my rooting and partitioning that i have done???
also can cm7.1 work with an ext4 partition??? which is what i have.
the gparted advice was excellent as well.
what is all this about wiping? Do I need to?
Maybe. If you go from one stock ROM to a custom ROM, or one Custom ROM to another, the settings may not be compatible. You can wipe from ClockworkMod Recovery. - Wipe data/factory reset.
If the ROM is stuck in a boot loop for more that 10 minutes, you may have to back to recovery and do a wipe of the Data partition
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Yes you must factory reset. It won't affect root or anything. It just wipes the data partition

Thanks rootSU,
I wiped/ factory reset it in recovery mode. next tiem i started it BOOTED INTO CM 7.1....though it seems to take its sweet time. doesn't recognize sim, but think i founds some pages to help deal with that......moving in the right direction
Thanks!
Terepin - I never said it did. But when did not having ROM manager affect flashing ROMs

Hi,
I have rooted my HTC desire and have S-OFF enabled.
Now I wanted to installed sandvold's ICS rom, but I dont have a clue where to start and I am not attempting to do anything in fear of brick.
I have backuped my phone using titanium backup. Installed Rom Manager.
Now I'm just unsure about installing the rom. I read you needed to install a radio.zip, but I cant see anything like that in the ICS rom.
Also not sure about the micro SD situation, as I'm sure you need a partition for it, so not sure where to start with that.
Basically, I just need a guide to help me with installing this rom and taking all the precautions along the way.
Thanks!
By guide, I dont neccessarily mean for you to make a guide, just a link to one if there is one you know of.
Thanks again.
Okay... umm ditch rom manager would be my first suggestion.
Then check my sig and install 4ext recovery. There is an app on page1 of thread to install it. Its better than rom manager.
Then use 4ext recovery to create a new nandbackup of your current rom.
Then copy ALL contents of your sd card to your computer.
Then use 4ext recovery to create an EXT partition on your sdcard. This will wipe everything on the SD.
Put all your files back to the sd card and the zip file of the rom you wish to flash. And flash the ROM.
About the radio, don't touch the radio for now. Unless you are running froyo you don't need to mess with it yet. But if needed my sig would point you to where the radio files are.
Whats your current radio version anyway?

I am sorry but I have a stupid question, I want to download rom Android Revolution HD, but not really kako.Ili I realize I can not download it or do not know what should I do to take my rom.Moze this kind of help? Thank if I explain it to anyone. Sorry about my bad English.
i dont understand.
do you need a download link for the rom, or do you need to know how to flash it in recovery.
are you already rooted?
First, your devise must be rooted. Just find the rom in the site. Then u can find dl link. Dont forget to dl GAPPS (if its available to dl)
Put zip file(s) on sd card. Then u shoud reboot ur phone to recovery, then choos to wipe data, wipe cash, advance/wipe dalvik, advance/wipe battery. Then instal the rom (zip file) from sd card. At last reboot ur phone.
Hope i could help.

sorry,its ok.
I don't know the reason why they don't have the download mirrors up on the ROM's forum thread. Some posts on there said that they will be fixing them soon, but I have no idea when that could be. In the meantime, you can get an older version of the rom here:http://www.androidrevolution.nl/
This is a pretty old version though; it has Sense 3.0, older version OS, less hacks/fixes that the ROM is known for, etc. I would just wait for them to fix the thread unless anyone on here can point to a method of getting 6.4 or 7.1.
