[Q] Rooted Desire stuck on htc logo after trying to make a partition.

I have a rooted desire and I was trying to partition the sd card and it rebooted and since then hasn't been able to pass the screen. I've tried to search for answers but here is some info
-I bought the phone unlocked and rooted so I don't have a gold card
-I tried pressing the back button and then power but the "reboot" option doesn't work
-I also tried "clear storage" to factory reset and it still doesn't load past that screen
-When I choose "recovery" sometimes it loads up my CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY page but I don't know what I can do from there.
Please help!
Thanks!

Ok if can enter recovery no problem, try wipe data in recovery and reboot, if that doesn't work, did u have an nand backup? Restore it, or dw the same or a new rom and install it threw recovery...

How can I put a new rom without a gold card? Can I just put it on my SD and instal that way?
I tried doing wipe and it didn't help and no I don't have a NANd backup

Gold card is only needed to install stock rom´s...
Look for a rom that u like, download the zip file to the SDcard, and install it threw recovery...

Thank you!
I'll try that out.
So I'll just need to name the new rom update.zip and then install through recovery?
I'll give that a try!

Yes u can rename it to update.zip or just choose install from sdcard and choose the zip file u want..

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
It worked!

Since you're so smart, do you know how to easily create an EXT on the SD card?
Thanks

Not that "smart" interested.. lol
U can find everything i told here in xda..
The easyest way to partition your sdcard is threw rom manager, download the app for free threw market, this is the easyest way to backup/Restore and install roms..

I tried doing it through the ROM manager already but all it does it reboot my system and then I get the android with a ! and when I click power it displays CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY and I see this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.0.1
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package..
E: failed to see in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
It gives this to me everytime. Maybe something is wrong with Rom Manager?
It's a 4GB card Class 4

weird,
never had problems with rom manager,
do u have sd adapter?
try and format the card threw windows/linux, format type FAT32, or if u have another phone like a nokia format the SDcard in that phone, had some problems with the SDcard, not recognized in Desire, format it with an Nokia, and then the SD is readble again in my Desire, then with RM, partitioned the card

[Q] Partitioning sd card via Rom Manager

I'm looking to install a Desire HD rom on my Desire and it requires an SD-EXT partition.I tried partitioning through Rom Manager but,even tho i have it ,it says that i don't have clockwork mod recovery installed.What should i do? is it safe to overwrite the clockworkmod recovery installation through ROM manager? And is it possible to partition the sd card directly via recovery?

Clockwork Mod doesn't have partitioning in it, you'd need to use AmonRA to partition in recovery - it's the reason why I went to AmonRA as I have a 1GB partition for the RCmixHD ROM (which is awesome btw)

Thanks for the answer.
How do i flash amonRA over clockworkmod? do i use unrevoked again?

Using ROM Manager with clockworkmod I was able to partition my sd card. I also flashed desire hd rom on my desire. The partitioning process using rom manager is a bit wierd.. my 8gb class 10 sd card partitioned without hiccups, the 2 gb class 4 card did get through

Yeah but my problem is that ROm Manager doesn't let me partition my sd card because it says that i don't have clockworkmod installed even tho i have it...

Did you root your phone with unrevoked? If so then it must work via ROM manager otherwise it wont.
The directions to work on ROM Manager are this ones:
Keep in mind that first inside ROM Manager you need to select the option Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and after that go to the SD partition option otherwise it wont work. And also remember you need to have the PREMIUM version otherwise it might not work
Now if you want to have more than a 512 mb you can use gparted. It is a livecd which means that can work on linux, mac or windows just reboot with the cd inside and is quite straightforward to use. Hope this helps.

i had this problem and here's what i did at the top of Rom Manager, it says Flash clockworkmod recovery. select it and select HTC Desire. then go to partition SD Card and select 512MB for Desire HD Roms. and a swap file of 32mb and it would simply boot into recovery and do the job. hope this helps

HTC Desire Problem

So I rooted my phone using unrevoked and all was fine, flashed a few roms and kernals, and i wanted to create an ext partition so i formatted the 8gb micro sd card and used easus to try and seperate it, this did not work so i reformatted it using android, i coppied all files back over and went into recovery to try a diffrent rom ( Currently on oxygen v2.0 RC7) but when i went to choose a zip file clockworkmod showed up saying no files found even though all the files are visible in android and astro, so i reformatted again using android and windows same problem both times, so i thought it might be clockworkmod problem, so i tried to reflash it and didnt work again, so i tried flashing the amon ra recovery but that just didnt flash at all (using unrevoked) when i came back onto oxygen v2.0 , superuser permissions does not work and fc's all the time so i cannot use rom manager or any terminal console

Try flashing a rom in recovery use the button combination for yur phone to Axcess your recovery

I can access recovery, i just cant see the rom files on my sd card, when i click choose zip file, it says no data, were it used to show a long list off all files available on sd card

Had some progress, tried a diffrent sd card seems to have worked, flashed cyanogenmod on now

[Q] problems with root and recovery

hi all, sorry for my bad english...
here's my problem:
i tried to root my htc desire with unrevoked3 but i did this at the 3rd try for some reason. root program said "it's ok, phone is rooted". then i've installed rom manager and tried to install cyanogenmod rom, but recovery said "can't mount misc" and i can't do anything now. i rooted it one more time and it doesen't help.

Phone version?
Bootloader information?
You guys always forget about the details.

Have you also tried to install ROM directly in clockworkmod recovery ?
download the ROM zip file, check md5 sum, copy to SD in FAT32 partition
reboot in recovery
Install from SD -> choose zip file

Do not use rom manager. It's a horrible software which causes many heavy system problems here. All operations you can do with rom manager can be done directly in recovery. Sometimes you have to partition your sd card with gparted, because this cannot be done in recovery, but gparted is not that difficult to use.
Conclusion: You do not have to use rom manager.

Yes it can be done, just not with CWM recovery.

can anyone help me?

is the ROM on the root of the SD card?

Could be a bad download. Try re-downloading the rom and flash again. Are you fully wiping everything? Also, I would recommend using Amon Ra recovery because many people have had problems using clockworkmod.

okay i'll try amon ra, but i do have a question my mac reformatted my sd card i still have a restore saved on my computer of the oringal 2.3.3 but is there anything i should have on my sd card beside the zip of the rom to install it? like is there a file or something i'm missing for clockworkmod

scottypeterson is right, use RA.
For the new ROM:
Load New ROM to ROOT of SD Card | Format Tool)
Boot into RA recovery
Flash Format tool (Calkulins Format All | VR Superwipe)
-Or just use RA to wipe everything, once or twice)
Flash ROM
Reboot
As for your Backup Rom, if it was created by Clockworkmod, then just load the backup folders to the SD card, and do a restore from within Clockworkmod.

If your gonna start all over you might as well partition your sd card after you download the recovery and get that straight,most of the newer roms will eventually use all of the partitions including the swap partition.Heres the link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386911 ,this link will help with most of your problems.

finally figured it out... my Mac unzips roms when i download them and for whatever reason when i compress it into a zip file it basically puts a file inside of a zip... so the recovery couldn't find all of the files in the zip to start the installation.. such an easy fix thanks everyone who tried to help me!
