Hi everyone i rooted my phone last night for the first time with LeeDroid, all that seemeed to happen was that it went back to the way i got the phone in the first place
I dont have Market, and if im honest i have no idea what to do
Can anyone help at all please ?
Thanks
Phil
Would i be better just downloading the 2.4 rom and trying that ?
How will i know that the ROM is installed correctly as like i said before it just seems like a new phone i got straight out the box ?
thanks
When you flashed the ROM did you do a full wipe? and Dalvik Cache too?

Honest answer , dont know
i think i rooted it correctly using Revoked, or it appeared like it did
in the software info on the phone it has this which to me means nothing but to someone it will
android 2.2
kernel version
2.6.32.15_leedroid_2.3 [email protected] # 1
software number
LeeDroid_V2.3d
Can you help ? thanks
That is a successful flash mate by the looks of it. Of course you lose all apps and settings after flash, and as far as I know leedroid is a sense Rom, so it looks very similar to what you got out of the box, but now you can mod it and flash different kernels and scripts, like data2ext.
Oh, and regarding market, just search for market apk and install it the way you'd install any app.

LeeDroid looks and feels like a stock rom but with added extra bits, and speed.
you can overclock or underclock with setcpu run rooted apps.
the good thing about LeeDroid is that it looks familiar so it's a good starter rom to play about with. if you want something other than sense try a Miui rom or Redux.
Ive got 2.4 now but i have 2 issues
1. the market force closes when i select an app
2. when adding the htc people widget it lists no people in where they usually
Thanks
Now my SD card is saying Mounted Read only ?
any ideas ?
did you make an ext partition and a full wipe?
I don 't have any issues with this rom
Yes and i just tried to go back to delete and redo a new partition but its not showing only my pc is ???
i just reset it and now im getting the leedroid background i wasnt getting before , ive had to setup everything back from the beginning , facebook passwords etc
market is now working but im still getting the mounted read ony error
Either corrupt card or bad partitioning. Just partition it in recovery and search for ext align tool on Baadnewz blog. Google is your friend.
If partitioning doesn't help, try different card.

ok sorted that last issue but how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.47gb
and on the internal it only says 129mb
why is this ?
What was the fix for the last issue? If you don't provide full info we won't know where it could have fine wrong.
Sent from InsertCoin 2.0.1
tinky i partitioned it as you said in recovery but then i couldnt get past the loading screen with the joker on it aftwerwards
So i went back into recovery and i had to do a restore that was the only way i got it working and the memory card issue also vanished
Now its working properly should i backup my current ROM in ROM manager ?
what else do i need to do to make sure i dont **** it up in future ?
Also how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.46gb
and on the internal it only says 116mb
How much space you assigned to ext? Also, not all roms support ext4, so if you did use align tool, then quite possibly that your Rom just can't see ext partition. Solution, partition again but this time don't use align tool which will convert any ext partition to ext4.
Regarding not loading after partitioning that is sort of expected, restore done the trick for you. Regarding not getting into this situation again, once you get it right just use recovery to do nandroid and ext backup, and keep it safely on pc, in case you need to change SD card. Then you just partition new card and do restore.

Anyone having issues on the latest Leedroid 2.4 with apps that have been updgraded from in-app billing?
Have one app (quota) which is now disabled due to the fact that the upgrade is now in progress whereas it worked fine on 2.3d.
The app dev suspects it is ROM and market related as other stock ROM users haven't had the same issue.
I'm having trouble installing any roms on my girlfriends desire. Installing roms seems to work fine, right up until i try to boot the phone, it just gets stuck at the HTC screen, I've pulled the battery and tried again, but nothing works. I've tried multiple roms, and with every one, the same problem.
The phone is rooted, HBOOT 0.93.0001, S-ON, Baseband 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
Anyone know what's going on? It's been a while since I've played with android phones, so I'm not current with all the lingo. I'm currently a WP7 user
Thanks for the help!
I'm assuming then it would be a2sd Rom?? Your ext3 or 4 setup? ROM manager sucks for this, use gparted or minitools(I've never used this one) and preferably a card reader.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Ya, I tried ROM manager for the partition, I'll give gparted a shot. thanks!
Ok, formatted the sd card, and repartitioned to FAT32, and 512mb of EXT3 and the same thing happens, it just hangs at the HTC screen after installing a rom.
How long are you giving it before pulling the battery? It can take 10 or 15 minutes on first boot. I'm assuming you've tried a couple of different roms.
yes, I have tried a few different ones. I'd say the longest I waited was around 25-30 minutes. In my previous experience flashing hero roms, the most I had ever had to wait for those was about 5 minutes, so I assumed the 30 minutes was long enough, and decided that nothing was going to happen.

i'm a previous hero owner, same thing happend to me, desire is different.
on all desire roms the op will tell you what hboot is made for and then to flash the alignement zip even if your sdcard is partioned , you have to otherwise the will never bootup and then you flash the rom plus whatever updates they suggest .
i think your hboot is stock, same as mine, but you need to S-off your phone in order to flash any roms, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
try cool sensation or what ever takes your fancy
1-download the alignement zip , the rom and the updates if there are any
2- put all of them on your sd card (mount it or use usb card adapter)
3- go to recovery and flash them in sequence, usually alignement zip first + the rom and then reboot should be about 5 to 10mn any longer you in a bootloop means something wrong.
just have a good read before flashing any rom , and follow what they say.from step 1 till the end.
you'll get there, don't worry it wont brick your phone
I was under the impression that S-Off wasn't necessary for all roms, for example insert coin cm7. I could not get my computer to successfully boot from my flashdrive to perform the s-off with alpharev, so I skipped that step
I also flashed the alignment zip, and still had the same problem.

You don't need s-off to flash roms, I'm not and flashed many. Make sure your installing roms for the stock hboot, cm7 won't work. From what I've seen unless your having problems with your ext the alignment patches can be more trouble than good.

Thanks a lot! I found a rom that works with the stock hboot, and it worked perfectly!
What rom are you using with the stock hboot? I'm having same problem.
Also I'm assuming cm7 is cyanogenmod7, i thought it worked with the stock hboot?
Ok, so I'm having another issue now... The market is not working, I tap it, and it brings up a white loading screen for about half a second then disappears. I tried a reset, and I still have the same problem. Is there something I need to flash in order for it to work? The rom I'm on is cool sensation v6, and I didn't see anything there about anyone having market issues, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Thanks again
EDIT: I notice that under accounts and sync, it says that sync is currently experiencing problems
EDIT EDIT: I just remembered that with my old hero, I had to first sync over 3g only, tried that, and it solved my problem.
Under Applications, find the market and try clearing the cache

It's a bit misleading, cm7 does not refer to cyanogenmod7 but cm7 partion table.
You will usually find 2 different versions of most popular ROMs.
1. A2sd
apps2sd, usually A2sd+. This requires the stock partion table. You do not need to be S-off to flash these ROMs
2. CM7
This refers to the CM7 partion table (custom Hboot). To repartion your nand you need to be S-off. These ROMs are data++ ROMs.
So, no you do not need to be S-off to flash custom ROMs, you do need to be S-off to resize your partion tables. More info in this thread:
This explains Data++ versus A2SD very well:

Hey guys,
I've read a lot on these forums, never posted much.
Currently I'm on Oxygen 2.3.2 with the CM7R2 Hboot, before that I was on the OxygenR2 Hboot. So I know my fair share of changing Hboot's..
I changed to CM7R2 because I wanted to try the ICS rom from Sandvold, however the ROM from Sandvold increased in size and making that ROM fit to my current Hboot is becoming a pain xD So I would like to flash a new Hboot, namely the Data++ Hboot!
This isn't so hard, however I would love to be able to put my orignal rom in the same Hboot. This way I won't be needing a computer to flash between Oxygen and a ICS rom. Changing on the fly sort of speak..
So I continued to backup my current ROM in AmonRA recovery and then I went and flash the Data++ Hboot. This all went good and no problems yet, however when I wanted to try to recover my backup it gives me this error; run "nandroid-mobile.sh restore" via adb.
After this I thought that maybe the problem could be that I installed to many apps on the cm7r2 hboot, so that internal storage of the Data++ was too low for all my apps. However when I look at my internal storage on CM7r2 it says I used 187mb and I still got 101mb free. When I see these numbers there shouldn't be a problem right?
So does anyone know a solution for my problem, any reason why I can't put my backup in the Data++ Hboot? I know I could just keep changing Hboot's, but like I said I prefer the same Hboot for ROM's, this way I won't be needing my PC for installing a new ROM!
Thanks for any help!
Why didn't or rather don't you do what the recovery told you?
SwiftKeyed from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Well I did try that, however when I type in that exact command nothing really happens.. So I was wondering If I did it correctly yes or no!
But the strangest thing happened to me this morning, I was flashing Data++ to try a sense rom for my girlfriend and after that I just went and try to recover my Oxygen rom.. And by my big surprise it actually worked :-D
So all is fine and good for me now! Thanks anyways xD
Hello guys!
First of all I would like to thank everyone who participates at XDA Developers. Incredible Job!
Since a few weeks I'm having problems with my HTC Desire using several ROMs.
I've been using Mildwild 3.2 since a few months and it went like a charm, so there was actually no need for me to change it. But then Mildwild 4.0 was released and for some reason I thought it might be a good idea to update my Desire to the latest Version.
I took my AData 16GB Class 10 SD Card and used GParted to partition the Card like it was supposed to be. 1GB Ext3. But when I installed Mildwild 4.0 I always had the same problem that when installing Apps the phone just "rebooted".. I'm using quotation marks, as it does not completely reboot, but instead only shows the "Mildwild" Logo (not the green HTC text on white background). The app is not installed. When i completely reboot the phone it is most likely to happen, that i can install the app without any problem.
As I did not find any solution to this and Mildwild started working on an ICS ROM i decided to switch to a different ROM that i already experienced a few months ago (at leat its predecessor) - Redux2 ZM 4.4. As I always thought that the problem is caused by my SD Card i decided to buy 4EXT Recovery from market and clean up everything before installing it. I formated everything /boot, /sdcard/, etc. - everything! And repartitioned the SD Card with 1GB Ext3 and 15GB Fat32. After installing Thalamus r4 kernel and redux2 everything has been restored from google servers like a charm, but for some reason some apps could not be downloaded. When I tried to install them manually after the automatic download finished.. guess what happened? The phone rebooted with the "redux" animation..
I actually dont have any idea anymore, what the reason could actually be. Maybe you can help me with my problem, as i just want to use a stable ROM on my beloved desire.
Thx in advance and sorry if i didnt find a thread that already discusses this problem!
i suggest you unstall some apps,because i've gone through this problem.It happens when there was a little space left.
Well, it says 130 MB left on internal storage
Same problem - no solution yet
Hi - I have also been having the same problem for the last 3 or so days. However, I am on an HTC Desire using LeeDroid ROM - so it would seem that this problem is not dependent on the ROM. Would be very grateful for a solution. This is starting to drive me nuts.
Im still struggelin with the problem. I thought it might be caused be a corrupted partition table? The idea with low space might also be the problem. Actually there are like 110 MB free whenever i look it up, but there might be peaks where it is lot less.. seen 40mb space left already. But why is this possible anyway? Thought this is the reason i have a sdext partition..

ok, i just wiped everything, formatted everything, repartitioned everything (1 gb ext4), flashed stock hboot, wiped everything again, flashed cm7r2 hboot, wiped everything again, flashed mildwild 4.0, flashed kernel r4.. booted once, set SD-EXT to active, rebooted, set sd-ext to default installation location, rebooted again.. now apps are downloading from the google servers and everything seems to work like a charm.. no "reboots" which i had the last few weeks.. ill keep u up to date
Sry for bringing this thread up again, but looks like I'm having the same problem as mentioned in the first post. Almost everytime I try to update or download new application, phone does the same as thread author described.
I'm on stock HBOOT if it means anything, Mildwild 4.8 based on Oxygen. Do I have to update HBOOT to fix this or is there another solution ?

Changing hboot doesn't help.
Just do what the OP did. Wipe everything, repartition your sd-card, and then see what happens.
I'll give it a try, I see Nobizzle did flash cm7r2 hboot so that is the reason I asked that. Nevermind, I'll stick with stock and report result after I finish.
Issue to resolve: Phone not booting into ROM, stuck at 'htc' screen. Second issue is with Google Play, says "No connection".
Any help on this is highly appreciated!
Short story:
Hello everyone.
After I got my Samsung S3 I decided to play around with my old HTC Desire a little bit. My aim was to install a ROM that would be as plain as possible, visually, so I can play around with it (which I hoped would also maximize battery life) and make it n00b friendly. CronMod seemed the way to go, what with his tweaks and the INT2EXT script etc to maximize app space. Plus didnt want to go to ICS cuz of camera issues.
However, I've been struggling with it. My phone rarely boots up after a shutdown, it just stays at the opening HTC screen and nothing happens. When it does load up into the ROM, on the rare occasion, it'll Reboot fine as many times as I ask. Its just after a shutdown that it doesnt work. Since I want to give this phone to my mom, she, not being very tech savvy, wont have the patience for this. So I need a permanent fix.
The second issue I'm having is with Google Play. It works fine for a little bit but for no reason will stop working. This happened the first time I installed the ROM, then I re-installed and it again having the same issue. I tried "Clear Data" and phone reboot but still no respite.
Phone Details:
CM7r2
6.93.1002
GSM HTC Desire
4EXT recovery.
16GB class10 card: sdcard0 ~13GB, 1.5GB EXT4, 256MB Swap. (also, if someone can explain what Swap is would also help)
Apps2SD script used: Cron's INT2EXT - seemed pretty good.
S-OFF'd and all of course - Revolutionary.io used.
I did try MIUI-Au before this, which was pretty decent, and I may just give up and move on to that if no one has a solution.
Did you changed hboot? i had the same problem when i installed miui on oxygen r2, which wasnt compatible. If you didnt change hboot i think it's the rom, i suggest you flash another one. And about swap..well the point is you dont need a swap partition. It's like another part of ram, when the ram is full the system uses the swap to free it(or something similar, i'm not good on explaining so sry if you dont understand but it's similar).

I changed the HBOOT before I flashed the ROM on. The CM7r2 HBOOT is meant to be compatible with the ROM.
Thanks for the info on Swap, it does make it a lot clearer.
I'll probably wait a bit longer to get some more replies, and if I cant fix the issues then I suppose there's no option but to move to to a new ROM. [I really hope the Devs get the camera issue sorted with ICS roms then I'll jump ship "in a flash". ]
You have given hboot version as 0.93.XXX. A cm7r2 hboot ver should be 6.93.XXX.
check!

Yes, that's correct. It is 6.93.1002.
If it is just stopping at the HTC screen then I am inclined to think it may not be a ROM issue. At this stage you are still in bootloader. Will it even refuse to go to recovery when it starts acting up or for that matter is even fastboot available? If it neither goes to recovery nor can you access fastboot then that means it is hung in bootloader.
But the bootloader should be OK since a corrupt bootloader means brick. You cant boot sometimes like you seem to.
The other reason for bootloader hanging would be I guess overheating or some other hardware fault. Does the device boot up fine after you let it cool down well?

I can get into Recovery fine every time - VolumeDown + Power -> Fastboot -> Recovery.
I cant seem to get into the ROM anymore. It does warm up pretty quickly if I leave trying to boot up but I figured that was because of the screen drawing more power due to constant white screen. What I did find earlier in the day was that if I held down VolDown+Power+Trackball (is that hard reset..?) at that HTC screen it would sometimes restart the phone and then it would load up to the ROM - but its hit and miss. Like right now it just wont work.

Maybe your Desire's partitions are somehow corrupted. Use 4ext to check partition, or do a full wipe, including sdfat32.
I would wipe davlik cache and perform a system wipe/factory reset from recovery then install CM7 as this is pretty plain and can be easily customised. Also you can install S2E from the play store to manage your A2SD with no separate script needed. Hopefully you don't have anything on the phone you need to back up. With any luck this might fix your play store issue too.

I hate to ask this question, since I'm sure you're busy fixing bigger issues, but what exactly is a kernel? I know the ROM is like an OS on a PC but then what is the kernel? How would I install it (is it just the same ol' Recovery --> Install from sd but without any wiping?) and why would it fix the issue with my phone?
Thanks.

The kernel is what runs the OS it is a Linux kernel patched for the arm architecture it contains the drivers as well as it is responsible for booting the phone and also is the layer between the hardware and software.

To put it simply, it's just a bunch of codes that makes the link between the hardware part and software part.So without it the software part doesnt know how to use the hardware part. And yes you can flash it from recovery and since it's a part of the rom, maybe the rom's kernel it's deffective or something, it's worth to try.
