Need help flashing insertcoin cm7

So ive done s-off on my desire and im wondering what to do next before i flash cyanogenmod 7. I really want that 302mb of free space

Flash the CM7 Hboot Table (bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img) either via Fastboot, Android Flasher or the .zip method.
Download the file from http://alpharev.nl

Well you'll be thrilled with all that space and fastness of cm7 hboot roms... Insertcoin cm7 v20 is great! I'm by no means an expert but will try to give you some guidelines how to do this. For some more detailed and in depth information you'll have to search the forum...
First things first... you need to prepare... you'll need android sdk or some other tool that will allow you to flash CM7 hboot (hboot can be downloaded at alpharev.nl and at the same place there are instructions how to flash it)... Hope you are familiar with android sdk and all, it isn't much complicated and it has been explained in great depths in forum, just search a little bit...
After flashing hboot you'll want to flash the latest radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08) if you are going for those latest gingersense roms... just search here on the forum and you'll find the radio probably with instructions how to flash it (it is flashed in the same way the hboot is, through android sdk and the commands are again on alpharev.nl)...
I'm pretty sure it is necessary to flash the recovery (clw 3.0.0.5-r3 or some other, you can find them by searching the forum) if you are going for InsertCoin CM7/STOCK v20... and again the recovery is flashed through android sdk, until this step you should be familiar with all that... the command for flashing recovery should go something like this "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where recovery.img should be changed to exact the name of the recovery file you are flashing...
After finishing all this your preparation is almost done and you will at last flash the rom you desire... you just need to do a full wipe with dalvik cache wipe in the recovery and you are good to go... upload the rom to your sd card and install it through recovery...
I think i haven't covered all so I'll just add some more information to this post in order to prevent mistakes if this is your first time doing this type of thing... You should also prepare the sd card... You should partition it... I highly recommend you partition it in Gparted (again this has been written many times all over this forum, just search for it, there are some very good tutorials, even video tutorials on this issue) though you can partition the sd card even from the recovery it self... Since you are going for CM7 insertcoin you should make a Fat32 partition and an ext4 partition of about 1 Gb (though 512 Mb will just do fine, the size is up to you
If in doubt about anything just ask...

[Q] HTC Desire - S-OFF/Root after ROM install with freezing!!!

Hi All,
I hope somebody can help me in case of following issue.
After some months I decided I try to install "not original ROM" to the phone.
After I read many instructions I started S-Off (Software: Alpharevx) root (Software: Unrevoked) - I didn't have any special problem with them based on the instructions.
After that I see following in Hboot menu of the phone:
"BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCHPANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
AUG 10 2010, 17:52:18"
I chose more ROMs to decide which is the best for me. I installed the first one, the phone restarted and it was frozen at the "HTC logo" (with white screen).
I thought the ROM is wrong, so I tried all, but I met same problem.
One time the system (android) loaded and started, but after the first restart it was also frozen at the "HTC logo". I installed back the original ROM, and it works well.
My questions: What did I do wrong or why it freeze always? I forgot one step, etc.?
Thank you for the help!

You probably forgot to partition SD Card, most ROM's requires ext2/3/4 partition usually 512MB+, though some needs 1gb+.
There is loads of partitioning guides, i advice to do it with gParted, if you're not comfortable with linux then try recovery from my signature, you'll do it with few clicks.
If you dont know how to flash recovery, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661317&stc=1&d=1311251519
Put it onto your sdcard (not any folders, just root of the SD), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" or PB99IMG if you have file extensions disabled in windows, and boot into bootloader. (hold vol- and power)
Will ask if you want to update, accept. Go into recovery and make an 1GB EXT3 partition, now flash the ROM you want.
Ofcourse full wipe/factory reset and dalvik cache wipe before you flash new ROM.

Yeah, I also like to use fastboot commander (requires java JDK) to wipe boot, system, userdata, cache and sd-ext.. it's a more extensive wipe than just wiping userdata/ factory reset and ROM's either always seem to work better or it's maybe just a placebo effect

I think the version of the RADIO is old.
I have a new, but I do not know how to install it.
I would like to ask for help.
What programs do i need and where can I download it.
Thank you very much.

use the links in the post above to get fastboot commander, and a newer radio (from official GB update) is in my signature.
Download fastboot commander, boot into fastboot mode, select radio, browse for the radio.img then flash radio. And you're done, it takes a few seconds and I have to remind you to check the md5 because you can brick your phone if it goes bad. so do not interrupt it.
radio MD5 - 432ED609D76AE57BA493DA875CDC9D2D

Hi All,
Now my phone works well...
Thanks for the help!

Low Memory on Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition

Okay - i bet since my question is too easy to solve i will get facepalmed soon
So what am i using:
HTC DESIRE SLCD / S-OFF / Rooted / 32gb class 10 SD card (Samsung)
4EXT touch Recovery
Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition + ad2sdx-1.0-RC01
Whats my Problem:
Low internal memory even if there are 1,2 gb of free space ( apps start crashing / default browser wont open due to lack of internal memory... everything else works perfect)
The Problem doesnt appear instantly after flashing and installing.
So what i did:
1. looked in the FAQ from Runnymede Thread and used a cache cleaner
2. installing the ROM few more times
But it didn't help - thats why i am here
I guess i am making a mistake while installing the Rom
www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg
(cant post img or links because i am new here - tell me if it doesnt work)
because i cant select this option - i guess thats where I go wrong?
maybe its the wrong ROM I downloaded?
I cant help myself somehow.. thats why i am here
(i spent about 1 week trying everything that comes to my mind but it didnt help)
Thx 4 all work you have done and your support!
if this works out i am going to donate 10€

What is your hboot ? I guess it is stock hboot.
It should be at least CM7r2 in order ad2sdx to work properly as it needs a bigger data partition sise to mount as sd-ext. Your actual sd-ext will be mounted as data partition.
I can't open www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg to see what it is.

Yeah i have HBOOT 0.93.0001
okay gonna try fix that and then report my result

im having the same problem with my installation
i have the hboot from alpharev
the info is as follows
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot- 0.93.0001
micicrop-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.17.05.23
aug 10 2010 17:52:18
and i have the same exact issue, i set my ext4 to abt 1.6gb and i cant get access to it at all

Alpharev made several HBOOTs, if you want to use AD2SDX make sure you flashed Bravo CM7 r2, you'll find it on their homepage.
I guess you guys both are currently using Bravo Stock HBOOT.
You can find out which HBOOT you are using (just to make sure) go into fastboot mode and look for the text in the pink box above the "BRAVO PVT xyz..."

Ok here we go again
I flashed Bravo CM7 r2 from alpharev.nl yesterday et voila - i had the ad2sdx option in the aroma installer.
(I had a screenshot on the the link nobody can see where it was missing)
Now the phone is working about 12 hours without any memory problems - of course it needed some time to settle down in the beginning, but that was mentioned in the runnymede threads before.
But i am still asking myself if i did too much now because...
I flashed Runnymede V6.0.4.1 with ad2sdx
Afterwards I immediately flashed ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 (amarullz)
Then i went for the Sense 3.5 Kernel from Droidzone
I bet i just needed to flash Runnymede since it comes with its own kernel (?) and has build-in ad2sdx?
Thx guys
Btw. kevearc how are you doin?

ad2sdx: You flashed the same thing twice, if you ckeck ad2sdx in the AROMA Installer, it will already be flashed automatically.
Kernel: The ROM comes with a build in Kernel by Droidzone, but you can flash newer ones.

Ahh btw.
I am looking for the sticky notes widget from stock ROM from android 2.2.
Just the one where you can draw/write and delete.
I dont need any memo or synchronisation and stuff.
So i looked " htc desire stock rom zip " to get the apk
or for " htc desire sticky notes " but didnt get what i was looking for.
I also tried to start the RUU installer and get the ROM.zip out of my temp folder but i didnt find it ( either in normal temp or windows\temp ).
Any idea? or is there a secret database hidden ?

Look at my signature..!

ok i guess, could u guide me as to how to perform the same procudere on my phone as u did yours?
i think my problem is that i didnt flash the Bravo cm7 thingy, lol
at the top of my bootloader screen, mine just says Alpharev in purple text

@kevearc: That means you are using Alpharev Stock HBOOT, go to their site and flash CM7r2. Instructions are given there.
@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.
If you want to save time, just download the old Widget here

ok, i downloaded the file, so do i flash this first, then reflash teh runnymeade os?
'or is there somthing else i need to do?

@WoH - thx :3
@kevearc
( only works with S-OFF !)
1. Download the Zip from Alpharev called PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Put it on your SD Card
4. Start Bootloader with Power + Vol down
5. messages comes with " do you want to flash this blabla " -> go for it
6. delete File
7. Check if everything worked in the Bootloader Menu
8. Better reflash your ROM (maybe it works without that but i wont guarantee)

When you have CID error, you cannot update with sdcard procedure.
You need to flash it in fastboot mode or the easier way is search for Fastboot Commander and use this to flash the hboot.

thanx,
i tried tht, but FBC didnt detect the phone, even though i plugged it directly and the drivers are loaded

Did FbC / adb work before?
Maybe you could try to reinstall adb driver...

[Q] HTC Bravo / Desire Hangs with Red Circle Screen (T-MOB101)

first things first: sorry for the same topic (loads here, but none helps / maybe i can't find the exact problem)
my phone hangs, recovery did not work, so i am on my own repair journey.
it's been two days but it is not a problem. too many guides (confused, read bortak's too, not sure which one works for my problem)
so maybe i need to settle it with a post.
first, the specs.
here is what i got via left button + power button on reboot.
--alpharev--
bravo pvt3 ship s-off (done by me via revolutionary)
hboot-6.93.1002
microp 0514
touch panel ...
radio 5.11.05.27
aug 10 2010
the phone comes with 4gb microsd
what i am trying to achieve first
-a working htc desire with stock android
-CCID is T-MOB101 (via fastboot devices, adb devices not listing anything) (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.4_R_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157560_signed)
what next (if i can get past the above)
- root the phone with unrevoked3
- install any custom rom
the process
- remove sim card and memory card from phone (OK)
- restart phone via left + power button
- connect the phone via fastboot usb (OK)
- enter few commands (OK):
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
- run RUU of image above. (OK)
- the phone reboots; and there is a red circle screen (FAILED, stuck at there)
i- so what am i doing wrong?
ii- once, i manage to complete successful boot, but once i tried to root via unrevoked (is this necessary for custom roms?), it failed again at the second reboot, with the red circle screen again. and now i can't get past the RUU.
any ideas? what is actually the problem?

i manage to turn it s-on via alpharev downgrader.
run the RUU again.
still red circle on boot up.

-update-
i-tried step 7 based on bortak (PB image on microsd) - SUCCESS
ii-tried to s-off and root via revolutionary.io - FAILED, stuck on red circle again.
*ttp://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/439627-guide-s-off-root-htc-desire-revolutionary-windows-published-4th-november-2011- a.html
iii- redo (i) - SUCCESS
how do I root? failed attempt using unrevoked + revolutionary.io previously.
any other methods?

that guide covers how to root after revolutionary...
also read all of the instructions that go with revolutionary, you'll find out how to do it there
however if you want to install custom rom at this point, you don't actually need to root.
you are s-off with custom recovery. so you can already:
- boot into recovery
- nandroid backup your current setup
- full wipe
- flash rom of choice (check specific hboot requirements and sd-ext partitions for each rom)
you only need to root your current rom if you have apps and data you wish to backup and transfer them to new rom using something like titanium backup. make sure all your contacts are backed up to google, and sms with something like 'sms backup and restore'

succeess! thanks man.
i am confused with the need for s-off and root.
so that means i don't have to root to install a mod if i have already s-off!
used revolutionary to s-off + recovery (via revolutionary) - success!
used recovery clockwordmod to nandroid backup, wipe cache and install oxygen mod - success !
i am really happy!

glad you got it done, but no offence sounds like it would help to do a little more reading before you start flashing away.
root and s-off are subtly different, i would explain but bortak has recently done it again here
i also recommend reading all the guides here, should help your understanding of terminologies, procedures, sd partitions, hboots, memory stuff etc.
also when i said full wipe i meant the 'wipe data/factory reset' option as a minimum within recovery. wipe cache is something else. if you only wiped cache you'll likely start to get a lot of errors where bits of system from old rom and new rom get mixed up...

[Q] Model ID error

I wanna upgrade to andoird 2.3.7
1- Can you please give me the download link for that? Because I got a file and it gives error 130.
2- I downloaded two files from alpharev.nl. one of them is img and the other one is zip.
I browse for these two files in Fastboot Commander program. One of them in Hboot/spl and the other one in Recovery and then flashed both. Then I browse for zip file in Full Zip tab and and flashed that one,too.
I was not folllowing a guide. I just tried them, because the monitor was black, I thought maybe these files get it fixed.
I think I flashed "Bravo CM7 r2" files(both of .img file in the zip file). But I'm not sure which files are for my cellphone.
I executed this file "PB9940000_BravoC_hboot_1.09.0000_USC_UTSI" which is for my cellphone, and I'm sure about it, because in flashboot screen I see BravoC and my cellphone is US Cellular. Now the monitor is on, but whenever I turn off and on the cellphone, it is in fastboot screen. When I want to go to the Recovery menu, it restarts.
I think I should copy a PB99IMG.zip file in sd card, but I don't know where I can find the file.
What can I do?
Please help me.

This is the main problem:

If you don't know what you're doing, find a guide first. If it doesn't make sense -> ask before you try anything.
If you definitely have a CDMA Desire (BravoC without SIM card slot) then read this first...
- You are lucky you didn't actually flash any of the hboots from alpharev. They are for GSM Desires, not CDMA. You would have bricked it if you successfully flashed it.
- Next try understand what you're doing. Even if you could flash the hboot, it won't upgrade your desire to 2.3.7. These only repartition your internal memory.
- It looks like you are already s-off as your hboot version is 6.93.9999. Can you confirm this? Power off and boot to bootloader (Volume down + power), post everything it says at the top of the screen.
What I believe is that your recovery is somehow corrupted. You simply need to reflash recovery, full wipe and flash a ROM which is compatible with CDMA desire (you could hopefully find one with Android 2.3.7 or higher).
- Download the recovery.zip from here, halfway through 1st post: (Desire CDMA) link.
- Extract the .zip, and find the recovery.img file.
- Use a guide, flash the recovery.img through fastboot commands
- You should now be able to boot into 4EXT recovery.
- A custom rom is likley to require an sd-card partition, so backup sd card and partition with 4EXT recovery
- Find a ROM which is compatible with CDMA Desire, copy ROM.zip to sdcard.
- Nandroid backup (backup existing ROM in case you need to recover things from it later)
- "Wipe all partitions except sdcard" within 4EXT Recovery
- Flash ROM.zip
My knowledge is mainly to do with GSM Desire, never worked with CDMA. Main thing you need to realise is that a lot of the development work is focussed on GSM version. Anything you flash / install must be compatible with your CDMA desire.

Actually, after 3 days working on it, I could fix it. I had deleted the recovery, and everything. I intalled the reovery and then Rom, and now it's running normally.
Can you please tell me what custom Rom is the best? Can I install Android 4.x ?
Thank you :good:

No one can tell you what rom is the best. Pick a rom, or try a few out, then decide which one suits your needs the best.
Yes you can install android 4+. There are roms in the development section ranging from 4.0-4.4.

I've installed the cyanogenmod 7.2 (Andoird 2.3.7) and it's working ok.
Now I have another problem:
1- ADB works, Fastboot doesn't work. I installed intel USB3 driver for win8 64bit, but didn't work. I also installed 3 versions of HTC Android phone.
2- The hboot version is 1.09. how can I downgrade it to 1.06 or lower? The phone is S-On and because it's 1.09 I can't use Revolutionary.
Thanks
