[Q] How to flash RunnyDroid - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I would really like to flash this ROM but I am a noob at rooting/flashing as I just rooted my phone. So I was wondering if somebody would help me by giving me a step by step on what exactly I am supposed to do to have this ROM on my desire.
Thanks

Thank you very much. I'll try it out and tell you what happens.

I think I will stick to CM 7.1.0 for some time before trying RunnyDroid.

A whole 7 minutes to go from trying it to won't bother?

Very simple, just follow the steps in post and ready, now more than has the graphical installer. : P

I don't know, I'll backup my CM ROM then try it.
1 question though, how long will it take to do this?

If I were to make a partition using clockworkmod recovery would it work properly? Should I back up everything on my SD card 1st?

[Q] HTC Screen after flashing Anything.

Rooted my desire yesterday S-offed and everything was working fine. I attempted to flash a custom Rom and now all I recieve in the HTC screen. I have tryed installing several roms and nothing works. I can get into the recovery with no issues. Just I cannot get into any roms. Any Magix fixes I can try? Or should I just Fastboot and start over?
Edit. Fastboot doesnt work. But I can get into the CWM Recovery. Which is also the newest version.
And you always followed installation guides for all roms carefully (like sd card) and flashed version that corresponds with your hboot?

Fastboot just has the bootloader option. Nothing for going back to stock. And were on the Stock HBOOT.
Correction Fastboot works just I cannot use it to go to stock. Is there any quick way to get to the stock image?
You can just download the zip from alpha rev put it on the SD card (not in a folder) re name it as PB99IMG start your phone with power and volume down and it will ask you if you want install it. P.s sorry if you knew this lol

I didnt know that! I shall give it a try and update on here and thank you if it works. What is Alpha Rev? A Devoloper or something?
You basically they specialize in s off, and recovery images etc. What sort of ROMs are you using? Cm7r2 is best for most Roms on the desire atm

How could you S-OFF your phone without hearing from AlphaRev?
That is a good point? But suppose you could miss it, it isn't the same site.

there is no any problems with SpeedDroid, if you fully wiped your device and it struck on beats screen try to remove battery and boot again.

Try to open zip in pc by 7zip and just test it.. see any file is broken during download or not...
Then extract whole zip than rezip than install it.. may work

Tried it so many times...
Also find out that there is no way to install a working recovery but only CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 through a recovery script..
So i've unziped the script..
The only difference is that before flash it uses :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

make sure you at getting the one for marvel and not marvelc if your phone has a sim card. may be the issue may not but worth checking. or if your phone doesn't have a sim card you need marvelc.

After a long day i've managed to install CWM recovery v5.0.2.8
After that rooted the phone using root.zip from xda.cn script and cwm!
Installed rom manager from market
And finally followed the guide
Black screen recovery guide
I've managed to install the rom at the guide and working properly!!!

The next step is to try install speedDroid!!!

Phone Issues - Please help

Hi there, I have a HTC Desire GSM, Currently running elk CM10, 4EXT Recovery, Stock HBoot, The problem is with every Sense rom that I have tried it freezes and locks up after a matter of minutes , Then it wont let me boot , This is the same for all sense Roms on XDA, Every AOSP rom works fine. I know it sounds strange but ive only had these freezing issues since I changed my Sim Card to GiffGaff. Any Help would be greatly appreciated as I love the Sense UI and would love to use it.
Never mind it was the sd card causing the issues.

What rom are you using? Aosp roms have the best battery lives. Try the one I'm using. It lasts 2 days at normal use, and it's as smooth as an s3.

First of all, thank you for your patience.
I do the following:
1. wipe all but sd-card;
2. format all but sd-card;
3. fix permissions;
4. sometimes I format sd-card using the following settings;
a. ext4
b. sd-ext 1 Gb
c. swap 1 Gb
d. sdcard 12 Gb
5. file system check
6. choose zip
7. install
Here is the point where, after analyzing the package, the phone displays “Status 7” error and aborts installation.
No one?

nandroid backup first...
go here, pick a few, try them out. make sure you read the op and have correct hboot / sd-ext partition if required.
ask yourself what YOU want out of your rom, not what others tell you works for them...

Make sure u have Stock hboot and i think Data++ hboot will work as well. U must have an ext partition on ur sdcard for a2sd (guide in my sig) then full wipe in recovery and flash the rom. Simples
Im sure user sudkcoce will post a reply here coz he prob knows more bout this rom than most :silly: he'll be able to tell u the pro's & cons, but overall its very good.
Thanks, I have an extensive partition, don't mind?

You said you have an ext4 type of partition right? How did you partition your SD card?
What is the size of the ext4 partition that you have?
Are you sure you selected the correct GSM version of the ROM while installing?

I have an EXT4 partition of 1gb and I made it from the recovery. I downloaded the zip, but i didnt see anything with GSM.. Then I flashed the v10 version and it seems very good.
