As in title I have dropped the recovery updater on the root of sd and installed the app. I then proceed with the flashing which reports as success, trouble is upon boot into recovery it still boots into CM recovery. I have tried various versions of 4ext with no joy.
I am wanting to use 4ext for partition sd card in order for ad2sdx to work for Runnymede AIO. I know I could maybe use Gparted for partition but since 4ext is failing to flash I am curious as to learn why.
HTC Desire rooted
Runnymede AIO Special edition
8 gig sandisk card
I have done search for this but find no answers
Cheers
Are you S-ON or S-OFF?

It was s-on which has now been fixed and finally running 4ext. Just need a guide now on how to partition for ad2sdx then possibly I can install some apps with runnymede
Thank you

If im not mistaking, you need the CM7r2 hboot in order to use ad2sdx. If you havent explicitly flashed the CM7r2 hboot, you still have the stock one.

Just looked at that and yes it is the stock hboot I have also had a read on AlphaRev site with regards to flashing the CM7r2. I am currently running runnymede AIO as stated and from what I can gather I need to revert to a stock rooted rom in order to be safe flashing. My phone is the HTC Desire Bravo any advise on what procedures to take next would be great. I have read the instructions and know I can just place the alpha img on my sd and flash from hboot but my concerns now lie in the rom I am running.
I have backed everything thing up but I will need to re-flash a new rom anyway as this current one is flashed as a2sd rather than the ad2sdx that i seek.
Cheers
Just an update and a thanks to you guys, it sent me in the right direction. Currently rooted, s-off, cm7r2 and runnymede rom running superbly well with 1gb internal storage
Love it
Cheers

Hi guys, i only got my desire yesterday (bye bye cliq/dext at last) its a uk desire pvt-4 with 40000 errorsize. I had a small problem rooting where unrevoked 3.32 wouldn't properly install amonRA or CWM, in the end i had to use unrevoked 3.21 and i'm now running ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 Sense DHD 2.2 FRF91 A2SD+ OC'd to 1113Mhz. Have tried flashing a lot of the roms available and not all of them seem to work for me. CyanogenMOD7 and Oxygen v2.0 RC7 get to the setup screen and then go into an endless bootloop, whilst DeFroST 6.1a, RCMixHD v3.0 and Amethyst RC7 won't load past the htc splash screen. I have H BOOT S-ON still as i'm not entirely confident at attempting the AlphaRev 1.8 method just yet, could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any replies, kingears

No. When your using a new rom, you have to do a factory reset and wipe both caches. If that doesn't work then just reflash it or wipe the /system partition since it seems to work for me. With PVT4 you do need AmonRA recovery since CWM doesn't work properly. You can S-Off you Desire but it isn't needed at all unless you need it doing.
I always wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, so seems strange that some work and some don't. I didn't think having S-ON would make a difference.

I don't know. Use AmonRA recovery and redownload roms. Check the md5 to see if it's downloaded alright then flash it. There shouldn't be a problem unless the root went tits up
Will do, thanks for your help

Just make sure you are not using fake recovery from inside rom manager.
I don't get why a lot of people still use that useless app.
I don't use Rom manager, no need for it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
me either, it's so easy to use clockworkmod recovery, why do you still need an app?
I installed CM& RC4 last night on my brothers Desire. I then flashed the bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img from alpharev to give him more space for his apps.
Now just for the future i need to know, if i want to install a different type of ROM (stock, leedroid etc), will i need to flash another HBOOT to his phone? If so, does this be done before or after installing a new ROM?
Just wanting to future proof myself here in case he asks for sense back or something.
Yes, the CM7 HBOOT partition table is designed for the CyanogenMod usage. The stock ROMs and LeeDroid need another partition table and consequently another HBOOT.

Except Oxygen. If you go to Oxygen it should be fine.
Hi everyone !
I have just discovered today the insertCoin Rom and I'd like to git a try on my HTC Desire ! However I have few questions and doubt to clear out before doing anything I might regret
- It has come to my understanding that I should have a 1.0 gb ext partition on the SD card, is it okay if my sD card has an ext partition with more than one gigabyte !?
- I also think I should have a specific hboot (I am not even sure if I have the same understanding of hboot as the rest of you ), When i start my phone into hboot mode it says it is the 0.93 hboot version and when i go into the recovery it gives the ClockWorkmod Recovery v2.5.0.7 (my phone is rooted using unrevoked). so is my hboot okay or do I need to do something else before flashing the rom ??
- Is there anything else I need to check before flashing the rom ??
Sorry i U find my questions stupid but if been reading threads and documentations for 2 days and i'm afraid I might have understood soemthing in a wrong way ! Thank you all
For your ext partition its ok if you go over, but do not make it any more than 2gb. Your hboot sounds like stock to me, unless you have gone s-off and changed it. Just check the rom thread and see what type you need.. For example stock or CM7 or CM7r2. You might have already stumbled across it, but just in case you haven't, check this guide:

Thank you for your answer !
Now my phone is S-Off and I have CWM v.2.5.1.8 ! Am I good to go ?? I have downloaded "InsertCoin Sense 2.1 CM7 1.1.3", can I install it now ??
Dude, just use the search.
I'd you have read the rom thread and met the requirements for that particular rom then yes you can flash it.

Hello there,
I'm with the rom RunnyMede AIO V2.2
And it seems that the A2SD++ will work only with EXT4, I mean, I have no idea what partition I have because I made it through the CWM Recovery 3.0 [and I realized if I did it through the Recovery, Chances 99% it EXT3]
and probably that's the problem appears to me that partition is not exist.
I was looking for a solution without doing re-partition because I afraid to do the entire section of the partitions on that program to run in Boot through Windows.
And I found something in one of the Roms with Sense 3.5 on the developers forum, download ZIP file named "Alignment_Cool_2".
According to creator of the rom there, this ZIP file installation via Recovry, who passes the partition from EXT3 to EXT4.
Now my question if it's reliable? If not, is there another way? If so is it requires reinstalling the rom or formatting the partition? Or just what I have to do is install it without having to do anything else?
Thank For Answer!
Hi, im using 4ext recovery and backed up my fat32 partition and after that i created a ext4 Partition with 1.4 gb behind the fat32
Works great for the a2sd+ option

Should I have S-Off to install this recovery?
It is not required but it is always good to s-off the device. I made this with the stock hboot and did not have any Problem with that.

Anyway I did S-OFF and downloaded 4EXT Recovery, and now it's converting from EXT3 to EXT4, Thank you very much!
Ok. Hope that it works on your device too.
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App
Yes it worked!
but I have another question ^^
I understood that I should install cm7r2 hboot to install XD2SDX script.
so...
1. Is XD2SDX Better than A2SD++?
2. Is it good to install cm7r2 Hboot? If it is, how can I do that? is this dangerous for my device?
I think you get more space to install apps with that Script. But i use stock hboot and the normal a2sd script. It seems more stable... and i have after 50 installed apps 50mb free. I think thats enough.

By using the search you will find out everything you need to know about hboots.
Hey is there anyway to increase internal memory without flashing or using a2sp?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Assuming your device is already rooted, you could flash a different HBOOT than stock to give you more space to install apps. Look up Alpharev on XDA.
Allright then il look it up, thanks!

importantly, don't think it's been mentioned here yet...you need to be s-off to change hboot.
@OP not sure why you seem against flashing a different rom
if you do end up flashing a different rom, as above check which hboot is suitable. many also require an ext partition on your sd card, and have a2sd scripts or similar built in.
use gparted or 4ext recovery to partition your sd. (changing to 4ext recovery also requires s-off)

Currently my set up is a SD card with a 1GB EXT 4 partition. CM7R2 Hboot with MILDWILD ROM v4 installed.

I think the most space you can get without using a2sd is to flash the dGB ROM on a custom MTD. But i wouldn't take the downsides (it's slimmed down extremely), so i just use a2sd.
If you just want to keep your stock ROM, have a look at link2sd on the market. It's pretty much a2sd, but you have to do it manually.

If you do decide to partition your SD card, I second the idea of 4ext recovery. Here's a helpful guide for partitioning with 4ext: http://bit.ly/JuIzwb.
