Hi there,
I recently flash leedroid 1.3 to my DHD and all went fine, however I later decided I preferred my stock Rom over it, so went into Rom manager and tried to restore from a nandroid backup I did before I flashed LeeDroid however it said "checking md5 sums...MD5 mismatch!" so booted into recovery then tried it from there. No luck..
I then tried ,Wipe data/factory reset, then "Wipe cache partition", then "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats", then restore tried to restore again still no luck..I've Tried it with two different nandroid backups (that worked before when I flashed back from cyanogen to stock)
Is there anyway I can get back to my stock Rom thanks.
(Forgot to mention I've got S-off and Rooted and CWM 2.5.1.3 installed)
youll love me when i finish this,
step 1. go here ---> rom storage
step 2. select any of the zip files to flash and put it on your SD card,
step 3. like i always say. youll need to go into the recovery menu and also format the following by selecting mounts and storage before you reflash
- Data
- Cache
- Boot
- System
step. 4 flash as normal and it should boot up with stock rom if your happy with not being rooted for a little while go for a 1.72 rom, if not stick with a 1.34 (look at the set of numbers on the file name , thats the version number)

(Only difference is the 1.72 and 1.34 and 1.72 isn't rootable as of yet is it?)
look at the file extensions, you need to flash, which means you need a ZIP file, not an exe, 1.72 at the moment cannot be rooted. so stick with 1.34.
my DHD is one of the first batch with the camera misaligned and screen slightly loose, but i love my phone so much i can live with these defects ,
i think ive done everything to my phone, (i.e brick it, flash it, create my own failed rom),, so thats why i can help haha,
Well what can I say you've made this whole scary process of me failing at flashing Roms so thank you!
hey its np , always happy to help out

Go into recovery, select mount and storage and then select one by one format boot, format system, format data, format cache.
I am trying to do the same thing as you. I want to revert back to 1.32 and get kamma's or apache14 overclocked kernels....as at the moment android revolution 2.0.1 and leedroid 1.3 are not any better than the stock one.
Good luck with that...let us know if it worked!
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!
Tim
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?

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, I've already S-offed my device and installed Leedroid. I don't have the SDK/ADB setup, so I downloaded the .zip file and attempted to install the zip through Recovery. I used the data++ partition layout. However, in Leedroid, when I go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, my total storage (All tab) is only 148 MB.
Is this normal, or what have I done wrong?
Its normal, you can increase the size from recovery. Or format the partition as ext4 and use SuperNova ROM instead of Leedroid

This is not normal. Don't mind the incompetent comment above. Settings->...blabla shows the size of the /data-partition and this should be 252 MB. Please do some reading on alpharev.nl!
It clearly says, that you DON'T flash hboot via recovery but have to rename the file, so hboot recognizes it and updates the partion-layout itself. Just follow the instructions.
Okay, thanks a lot. Have yet to tried it, but I have another question:
If a ROM does not specify the partition layout, does that mean I should flash the stock layout?
Btw I tried renaming it to PB99IMG.zip, booting into HBOOT, but it gives me an error about some CID thing and tells me update failed. I did some research and I think that's because I need a goldcard. Then I tried using the flasher tool and it works. But what's really strange is that I flashed the .img without reflashing my ROM or restoring my nandroid, and yet when I boot into my ROM, everything works, except that the /data has increased to 217MB (which is correct already). So do you need to restore nandroid or not?

in general, yes. But you can check the size of the system-Folder inside the rom.zip you want to flash and then choose a hboot-layout with sufficient /system-size. Then you should be fine. Maybe you have to flash a fix that moves market-downloads to sd-card (instead of /cache-partition, which may be too small for larger downloads, but afaik thats already built into most custom roms. However if larger market-downloads cause problems, you need to flash that fix).
But most of custom roms available in this forum clearly state in first post, which hboot-layout is best. But it's always down to the size of the /system-partition, so stock-hboot fits all.

If everythink works nice, then why bother?
As I often have problem of internal memory (not enough),
I tried to apply on my Wildfire the Custom MTD Partitions, as explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233340
(and which seems very interesting)
But even all steps seems to do something, it doesn't have any impact on the size of the memory...
I tried to apply this size of memory: 145 10 (mtdpartmap.txt)
In order, I did this:
backup, reboot to CMW Recovery, Nandroid Backup, copy the 3 files needed on the SDCard,
format /cache, then format /data, then format /system, then perform a Wipe Data / Factory Reset, then flashed recovery zip, then Reboot Recovery, then Restore the nandroid backup
=> Remark: at the end of the retore of backup, I had an error: "Error while formatting /sd-ext!" (don't know if it's normal)
Then I flashed the boot zip, and finally reboot the Wildfire.
But when I'm checking the memory, sizes are the sames: 183 interal (including 40 for cache).
What I did wrong ?

Make sure your not naming the txt mtdpartmap.txt.txt only have 1 .txt at end.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes, as I saw that someone did it, I verified it.
I tested without any extension too (only mtdpartmap), but result was the same.
I will try again, by changing the values-number in the file...
Maybe an additional question: inthe topic is written:
"When you flash a new ROM, you WILL lose the new settings ("partially"). To overcome this, after flashing your new ROM, flash the boot-v1.5.8-Beta-CustomMTD_S attachment immediately after flashing the ROM before restarting your device."
Does it mean that I should do these operations each time I want to install the last build of cm7 ?
Yes, you have to flash the 'boot' attachment only everytime you flash a new nightly (or a new ROM, or even restore an old ROM, for that matter). If you don't, the device will not boot. (This is applicable even if you do not wipe before flashing a new nightly)
For your issue, although I can't really seem to figure out what the issue is, I would say try flashing a fresh install once just to check whether the procedure itself works or not.
If it still doesn't work after a fresh ROM install, try with the older version of the Custom MTD Script: (Although this shouldn't really be the problem)
http://db.tt/JjGxneZD
http://db.tt/C5noTQl9
this happened to me, but i realized rooted phone doesn't mean s-off, double check it has s-off?
I can solve this issue lol i think. Do this order instead
:backup, reboot to CMW Recovery, Nandroid Backup, copy the 3 files needed on the SDCard
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Flash bravo-recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD.zip
format /cache, then format /data, then format /system
Reboot Recovery, then Restore the nandroid backup
BEFORE REBOOT:Flash bravo-boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD.zip
Now should work. Well this is how i do it and works. I did the order you said the first few times
I hope this helps
Thx to all for your help.
Yes, my wildfire is S-OFF, I verified again.
About the version v1.5.8, I got it, and will install it quietly in the order you indicated below, I will inform you if it's ok by this ;-)
I just tested in this order, and I'm blocked at the end on the blank screen HTC.
But, little question: I used the files recovery-v1.5.8-Beta-CustomMTD_S.zip et boot-v1.5.8-Beta-CustomMTD_S.zip (so tagged as beta). Are they the sames files than the ones you used ?
HTC Wildfire S-Off

Just for info:
finally I just tested again the same order, but I flashed an new build instead of to restore my last backup.
It booted correctly, and as I can see, I have now more memory available.
Many thx
Now, I have to restore my apps and data (thx titanium )

Only once have I had problems loading custom mtd values,I tried for hours and figured out it was the cwm 2.5.0.7 version which was causing problems cos as soon as I tried with 3.2.0.0 it applied 1st time. Have you tried different cwm?

On ROM Manager (4.7.0.5), I see that CWM is 5.0.2.0.
In recovery mode (used to backup/restore for this operation) , CWM is v4.0.0.5.
Does this version a correct one, or should I upgrade it to the 5.0.2.0 ?

Its 512MB and not 512MIB/MO. Hence, the actual usable capacity is actually 483MB instead of 512MB (If I am not mistaken). (The analogy is similar to any flash drive / hard disk you buy - the actual formatted capacity is lower than the rated capacity)
After tons of googling ive finally been able to customize the size of my data partition.
Im sharing it with you all...
Install Instuctions
It really is quite simple
1.download FR-recovery-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip and FR-boot-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip
2.create mtdpartmap.txt and put on /sdcard/ see configuration *
3.reboot to recovery
4.nandbackup
5.wipe cache + data
6.flash FR-recovery-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip(follow onscreen instructions)
7.reboot to recovery
8.Either : -
Nandrestore
or
Flash ROM + extras
9.flash FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip
10.reboot
*For cyanogenmod- write "mtd 135 15"
this will give ur system 135mb, cache 15 mb and rest for data!!!!(u can change the values but be sure u give enough to system otherwise ull face problems while flashing)
NOTE-each time u flash a rom u MUST flash FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip.
NOTE-if u reduce cache size by a large amount, market and other apps depending on cache will fc.

Chicken. As I wrote in the other thread....it works.
Be careful not to undersize your Cache partition though or Market and other apps that rely on it for temp storage will force close.
The guy that said he uses a 10 MB cache partition is on better drugs than I can afford...
dude,
i followed all the mentioned steps by letter but unfortunately i still have the stock part intact
1-copied the files to Sd
2-creating the text file mtd 150 25
3-flashed the recovery attached

Yes.
First this is a confusing and partially explained tutorial...No offense. Here it is for CM7.x with updated script files and an mtdpartmap.txt for CM7.x
1/ Create the txt file and do not hit enter. Make sure there is no carriage return taking you to a second line.
2/Now save it as "mtdpartmap.txt" (For CM7x you can use 145 20 with no worries).
3/ Copy the recovery file, the boot file and the mtdpartmap.txt files to the root of your SD card
4/Copy Alquez's latest nightyly CM7 zip to the root of your SD card along with the latest gapps zip
5/Reboot to recovery
6/ Erase user data
7/ Under Mounts, format system
8/ Install zip from SD card and run the Recovery zip
9/ Go back to mounts and format data, cache and system partitions
10/ Go to advanced menu and reboot to recovery
11/ If you are restoring a NANDROID backup do so now using backup/restore
12/ If you are installing CM7.x Install zip from SD and flash the CM7 zip and the gapps zip
13/ Install zip from SD card and now flash the boot zip.
14/ Return to recovery main menu and reboot device
15/ Enjoy your roomy CM7.x install!
Don't listen to 135 for CM7! It's not close to enough.

@everyone with s on but bl unlocked: it won't work.
@everyone with soff and cyanogen mod: 135 15 is more than enough...
For sense roms which are debloated 250 20 is good...

You need to flash flash "FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip" immediately after flashing a new ROM or Restoring any nandroid backup before restarting your device. This will keep your partitions.
