Hi, I have been trying for quite some time to flash this rom onto my Desire but I keep getting caught in a bootloop. The link to the rom is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815. I have a Telus HTC Desire, I have S-Off and am using CWM-AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8. My hboot is CM7r2 and I have been searching the previously mentioned thread but can't figure out why there is bootloop. Can somebody walk me through the steps on how to fix this issue?
Did you partition your SD card with ext partition?

No I did not. How do you even do this? Also, will that delete everything on my sd?

You have that option in AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8.
And yes,its format all data on SD card so make backup of your data
After I partition my sd, do I put everything back on to it and then try the flash again?

Yes that will work.
Unfortunately the op in the thread does not state that an external partition is needed. But yes, an ext4 partition of 1gb will be enough to get the rom to work.
Alright. I will try this out and post later with my result. Thanks guys!
Use an ext partition with minimum 1 Gigabyte to make sure there is enough space.

It worked but it seems to be a bit laggy. I'm not sure if this is because it is a beta still, or I did the partitioning wrong. I chose 1 Gb as my first option to partition, but then it gives an option after saying 0M, 32M, 64M, etc. I chose the 32M, is that still right?

Hi guys,
I couldn't find anything about this (I did try searching before posting this thread, so I hope I am not repeating a common question!).... I wish to unpartition my sd card and just go back to a normal fat32 partition....
So far I have tired windows disk management and Rom Manager, which just allows you to ADD a ext partition with no luck!
Can anyone else guide me how to achieve this?
Regards!

:O Thanks, which recovery should I be using? :s
System recover? clockworkmod using the fake flash method? because I don't see the Partition SD Card menu anywhere else and i've tried both!
I know its right in front of me somewhere, I just can't see it, D'oh!
use the one from rooting folder
Bah,
I ended up using GPart live cd to undo it!!

That's fine, it's why I created the thread!
If you just want to partition you can use ROM Manager (but this requires root)
you need the recovery file (entitled 'pushfiles' or something) from the risk-free root package to partition/un-partition the card.
Else, you can use a GPart live CD, which makes it really easy!
Hope that helps buddy...

If you're using a2sd+ then you need to change your ext2 partition to ext3, Also, I don't believe that you need a swap partition anymore...
Try that!

lol, lets give the guy a break.... we all know it was a 256GB Flash card!
Anywhooo, I have another question, so I think i'll hijack my own thread!
Guys, whats the most efficient way to backup/restore and move apps between roms? I've ended up manually re-installing installed apps 2/3 times now, I was going between roms that did/didn't support a2sd. Also, should there be any consideration to any specific backup options available in the various tools?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, my phone got bricked using GPart live to turn my ext 2 into a 3 partition. Everything went fine using the program, turned off Usb storage, went into market and tried to download a program, when it started to install the screen when black.
Now I cant boot with sdcard in, I don't come past the white HTC screen
Without SDcard it starts loading the system but the loading is a never ending loop.
Tried to format SD with fakeflash, dosent help
Tried reflashing my rom with wipe and everything, dosent help
Any ideas?

I would say, firstly try to get your phone working by wiping it clean and re flashing the rom. Use a different memory card just to get up and running. Then you can concentrate on fixing you card..
Although that seems like a very strange issue, are you sure you formatted your card correctly with GPart? (eg, exactly 512 MB/1024MB?) I'm a n00b myself so I would also wait for some of the more experienced users to offer their input. lol

Solved it by using AM recovery, repair + new partition solved the problem! Gonna reflash 2.0 again since i messed up the wiping somehow and then keep this until the rooted 2.2 is out!
Any one know if I can get my HTC Desire to use the SD card as its app memory?

1. root it (alpharev/unrevoked)
2. s-off (revolutionary)
3. NAND backup the current ROM from recovery mode
4. flash custom HBoot based on your requirement (refer to table in alpharev.nl)
[by this you get more internal memory increased, maximum you can get
332Mb for data]
5. install custom ROM of your choice which uses different scripts to move apps
to sd (s2e, a2sd, data2ext, etc....)
6. NABD backup the newly installed custom ROM
7. partition SD card for Fat32 and EXT3 (1gb) using gparted
8. reflash it the custom rom or restore from the back
you can refer to rooting guide which is available in the xda forum, below url may also help you regarding custom roms

Root your phone mate, and then use a RoM with data2SD If you want to stay with HTC sense then I recommend Droidzones RoMs.
This one is Sense 2.1

And this one is Sense 1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
Note you will need a SD card class 4 and above, Read up about Gparted after you have Rooted your phone this will let you partition your Sd card Giving you upto 2GB internal Memory.
If your bored of HTC Sense, I recommend MIUI RoM its superb
Good luck
HUummm... why is it always so hard for me?
I tried to root with un Revoked which I have used in the past but that failed because I have 2.3.3 installed.
I then went back to my Froyo RUU but that failed because of the H Boot.
Finally I rooted with http://revolutionary.io and now need to sort myself out with a ROM.
Just a note: you don't need Gparted for ext partition. You can either format your entire card with CWM, or you can use free partition manager EASUS Partition Master Home to create ext3 partition and then convert it with alignement script from coolexe. It certainly saves time.

Only down side to using recovery its max size is 512MB. EASUS dont like because its windows app, I find it best to use Gparted because its Linux witch android its self is based on.

Hi everybody,
got the same problem as the person who started this thread with the memory issues. Done everything except install a custom rom, which I am about to do.
(note: currently 0n 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.)
Also would CM 7.1 be a good start?? Is there any easier rom to install that still has the apps2sd feature which is the primary point of doing all this( maybe miui).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
rkdeane
Everything you need is in the Desire Developement forum - STICKY!
You don't apps, just root (S-OFF is a good choice too) and custom recovery (like CWM, AmonRa).

Hi guys.
Well I managed to get root access to my phone which wasn't really hard. And I managed to s-off and backup my files successfully. Now I'd like to deal with the internal memory issue. The question I want to ask you is this one.
If I create 2 partitions with gparted, one fat32 and second ext4 (around 2 gb's), will the ext4 one be considered as internal memory too ?
Then I'd like to install a custom ROM. So the second question is, can all ROM's the internal memory that way. I mean the custom part from the SD card ?
If something is unclear just ask, cause English is not my primary language.
Thanks in advance.
It should be that every ROM has it's own requirements for doing that.
So not every ROM can use approximately 2 GB for internal memory ?
That's what you're saying ?
Yes, for example I use 3GB on my SuperNova ROM, but recommended is 2GB so now I am trying to repair that. If you get me.
Kapiras? xD

Euh, if you ask me I would say it's part of internal memory (when you remove it the apps on ext4 don't work anymore) but i'm not a dev so not sure though
you can see it as an extension to your internal storage capacity..
next, most of the systems to use your ext4 are already included in roms (A2SD, D2EXT) so you don't have to worry about that, they recognise the partition themselves
the only thing you should be aware of is that you pick the right HBoot (don't flash CM7 HBOOT A2SD on a STOCK HBOOT A2SD)
this is normally explained in most ROM posts but i guess with a 2GB part you should be fine for A LOT of different ROMs
extra: there is a nice pic near the end of THIS post what is shifted to the ext partition when you use a certain method
grtz
So like with an app A2SD when not rooted, you can move apps to SD, but when you remove it, part's of it remain in the memory on the SD card.
The link you gave me is for "AD2SDX Special Edition for Sebastiaan15 RunnyMede Desire ROM", exactly what I want to install.
So first I create partitions with gparted. Fully wipe my sd card.
Flash the rom, then flash that AD2SDX zip file.
And it should work fine ?
Thanks for answering mate.

well, with the last version of sebastian15 for CM7 there's no need to flash the AD2SDX zip file, now it comes as an option during install (you'll see )
thus, first you make 2 partitions 1 ext4 of min 1024MB (mine is that size but you can do more if you'd like) an the rest of the sdcard is fat32 .. (mine: 7GB)
then download the right rom (check HBOOT, i have CM7R2 so i can install AIO v1), with Hboot its version 5.3 and you still have to flash the AD2SDX zip if you want it (A2SD is good enough for me )
oh right, don't forget a full wipe

An external partition has nothing to do with hboot.
The only worse thing than people not helping are people helping wrong. This thread is a failure on so many levels that human vocabulary just can't cut it.
Then why don't you help me, or just point me in a right direction ?
Thanks for the answers.
Because information you seeks are essential to know before you attempt to root.
FYI, I have successfully rooted my phone.
And I have managed to install the desired ROM.
And one more question.
I have managed to make 2 partitions.
Fat32 (5,5 gb) and ext4 (2,2 gb), yet the phone recognizes only 5.5 as the SD memory. And the 2,2 are not usable ATM.
What should I do ?
Reading your last comment I can't imagine how could you possibly root it successfully on your own.
GTFO of my thread.
Zealotic, terepin is right in a way. You show no understanding of the ext partition, or flashing, or ROMs. It will never show up. Because it is a separate partition. You'll only ever see the fat32 partition in your phone under sd storage. You need to do some research before you attempt any of this.

Hi,
I'm running MildWild V-4.8 on my Desire, and I got a 8 GB class 10 sd-card i would like to partition.
I've been reading a lot about it, but they all seem to use clockworkmod recovery mode "advanced > "partition sdcard". I dont have that option, bc it just doesnt appear on my phone.. what do i do? How could a partition my sd-card and make it a "part of" the internal memory?
Kind regards

Ps. I think i did a fair search of the forum already, but if i've i missed a the answer somewhere then im sorry!
I'm not sure who "they"are, but I use 4ext recovery to partition mine, just boot to recovery and see which you have.
Be aware I'm pretty sure partitioning will erase ALL data on the card!

I tried out the 4ext recovery, but it didnt manage to partition it, so instead i partitioned it (2gb ext3) on my computer following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning.
I then used s2e and selected Applications, Dalvik cache and Download cache before i rebooted.
My phone still says that the internal memory is148 mb? What did i miss ?
NB. I partitioned and used s2e on C7, do I have to re-flash before it will see my sd-card?
Strange that 4 ext didn't work, even though your phone is still reporting limited storage, if things are working as they should add you install apps that should remain roughly the same. Maybe download something to see?

I will try using gparted instead, but my question still remains.
Once they card has been formated, is there anything else i need to do besides s2e and reboot it? I've been doing some google-search and i've read about hboot and even flashing the phone again? Is this really something i need to do, or should my phone se the ext3 as internal harddrive right after i've run s2e and rebooted it?

i also recommend gparted, it's the best method alongside 4ext recovery. step 5 here is better.
do not use S2E, read the app description: "S2E works only with CyanogenMod7, CyanogenMod9 and CyanogenMod10". also, you don't need to do anything else to move apps to sd-ext with this ROM.
the reason it shows only 148MB is because you are on stock hboot. basically your current system size is 250MB, and the rom's system size is only about 110MB, wasting 140MB.
you need to s-off and change hboot to cm7r2 hboot to maximise space. it has a system size of 145MB. (there are ways to optimise it further but this will be the easiest way for you.)
It will still only show 287MB of internal afterwards, and it will never 'see' the partition. keep your apps on 'internal', this should trick your apps to sd-ext.
so...
- backup your apps etc using titanium or similar
- backup your sd to computer
- repartition sd using gparted guide exactly
- copy everything back to sd
- s-off if you haven't already
- change to cm7r2 hboot (search for guides, i recommend using fastboot, set it up and read the fastboot bit here).
- reboot into recovery, full wipe and flash rom.
- restore apps, keep them on internal as suggested.
- use another app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions, you should see your sd-ext filling up with app apks and dalvik cache as expected.
- internal memory will still decrease as app data is still stored on internal nand, but it will do so much slower, and 287MB should be plenty for app data.
sounds like a faff, but the guides and info are already there for a reason...you'll be using the space more efficiently, and hopefully understand a bit more how things work and where everything is...

First of all sorry to disdurb anyone with my issue, but tried everything and nothing works for me so I am kind of desperate here.
Well I am an owner of an HTC Desire (GSM) and had problem with low internal memory so I googled and found out a method to extend my internal memory to 2GB . I installed revolutionary which makes the phone S-OFF and installs clockworkmod I guess. Then downloaded the Cyanmodgen (cm-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip) also downloaded the Data2SDinstalerv1.3_GB.zip. I partioned a 8 GB SD Kingston microSD card to 4GB FAT32 and 4GB ext4 using Gparted. Installed everything with this order in recovery mod from the FAT32. Everything work perfectly. I also didnt touch the google apps at all and downloaded the latest version from goo.im (gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip) and only after that tried to sign in to my google account. But it seems that I cant sign in. It keep telling me I entered the wrong e-mail and password. The e-mail and password works just fine with a pc but dont work with the HTC desire. I am guessing that the google apps from the goo.im are an old version that wont work ? What wrong I am doing? There is something like a code bar I am seeing everywhere I search for a solution. What is this that for and what do I do with it?
Please help cause right now I cant sign to my google acount therefore no google play and all the rest google stuff for me.
4gb ext4 is too big. Should be 1-1.5gb max. Install 4ext recovery. Its much better. Repartition your SD card, wipe everything and re-install. Should work fine.

That is the md5 checksum. Once you've downloaded something you can look at it's md5. If it is the same as what is shown on the download site it means that the file has been downloaded properly. If not, it means that the file has been corrupted somehow and that you should redownload it.

When I open ext4 recovery there is nothing inside. Should I uninstall Clockworkmod and then install ext4 recovery? in recovery mod its still the Clockworkmod. Did ext4 recovery changed something with the framework and now its working ok (yet I dont see anything in the ext4 recovery screen- just black screen). How to uninstall clockworkmod?

If you still have clockworkmod, then you didn't install 4ext recovery.

Your recovery has got nothing to do with your signing into Google account.
I recommended 4ext recovery to partition your card correctly with 1-1.5gb of ext4 partition size.
When you install 4ext recovery from the app (search for the apk here), it will overwrite the existing clockworkmod recovery.

Yes you are right. I am doing the hole procedure again with a new class 6 SD card this time and only 1 GB size for the ext4 volume. thanks a lot. By the way do you a rom that works correctly. I mean stable and fast but supports also the Data2SD script? Any recomendations?

My favorites are MildWild ROMs. Light, fast and stable.
If you're looking for Sense based ROMs, try Cool Droid V3.

Thanks for your infos. You are helping me a lot. One more question. As I see on your signature you say you use a class 10 SD card. I think that's faster but is it 100% compatible with the HTC Desire? Should I buy a class 6 or a class 10 SD card? and is there something extra (tweaks) I have to do with the class 10 SD or the partition with the same method ( 8GB Total => 7GB FAT32 & 1GB ext4)?
Thanks a lot!

I have partioned a 16 GB class10 SanDisk SD card with GParted to 13GB fat32 and to 1,5 GB ext4 volumes.
I am kind of desperate here every ROM I use it ends up crashing. What I mean is I install the rom but when I am using the phone I am getting lots lots of failure message or phone reboot by itself or stop responding at all . Application this stopped responding and aplication that stopped responding.
I finally kind of making progress with the Supernova version but some issues also there programs crashing but less times and a sign saying my SD card has only read properties something like that.
Should I do a partion with the ext4 recovery programm from my phone? Can this be the problem? If so is there a quide for that?
please help

Yes. Gparted is known to have issues with the desire partitioning. There's a good guide in the stickies (you'll have to look) but basically flash 4ext recovery, reboot to recovery and remove all partitions and start again. 1st partition 1 or 1.5 gb (not 3, or 5...) rest fat 32. Wipe everything and install your Rom of choice .

This is simply not true, it is the most reliable tool when used properly using all the guides available.
4ext is also reliable, just easier to use
