newbie problem?

Hi
Playing around with my rooted htc deisire i tried to flash the new RcMic HBOOT
After doing god knows what
i cant start my phone and keep having this message
Error in CACHE: recovery/log (No space left on device)
please help

Give us more information what you did before.
Did you full wipe/factory reset & wipe cache? What partitions do you have on SD Card, are you S-OFF?

yes
i am s-off
i did wipe cache/wipe factory reset
i tried to restore to my lee droid 2.4 but my phone keeps looping from the start

What partitions do you have on SD Card, which HBOOT you are using, which version of the ROM you flashed?

i flashed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
i have no partition
hboot 6-93.1002

Did you read first post?
It clearly says you need 1GB+ EXT2/3/4 partition on SD card. Thats why you getting errors and end up with bootloop.
Also if you have Stock HBOOT be sure to flash A2SD+ version, and CM7 version if you flashed CM7 HBOOT partition table.
Before flashing again be sure to perform Full Wipe/Factory reset and Cache wipe!

I cannot find rcmixs hboot. Only recommend one for this rom, which is cm7. You flashed this one? If, you cannot restore leedroid rom, because the /system partition of cm7 hboot is to small. If not, wright partition sizes of your hboot here.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

sorry guys cant really follow
what you are suggesting?
right now i cant flash anything

Reformat your SD Card, make FAT32 partition + 1GB EXT4 partition. (backup data if you have important files on SD)
Full wipe/Factory reset + Cache wipe.
Download RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip if you have Stock HBOOT or RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD_CM7Hboot.zip if you flashed CM7 HBOOT earlier and put it on SD Card.
Flash it, and wait... it takes a bit longer on first boot!
Enjoy.

if i dont want to flash rcmix and want to go back to my old lee droid rom, i have to do all these things you describe?

Yes you need, but just flash LeeDroid ROM instead of RcMix.
You need to do the rest tho because LeeDroid require 512MB+ EXT2/3/4 partition too for A2SD.
Btw. you need to repartition your SD card only once, then you just wipe and flash other ROM if you want, but EXT partition is mandatory!

repartitioning using which method?
g parted or through windows?
sorry for all the questions

GParted. With windows you cannot create an ext partition, because ext is a linux file system. But i would always use gparted or recovery of phone to partition sd card and never windows.

If U dont wanna use Gparted, then
use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" in windows. (freeware-use google)
Can make all partitions, with no problems!

thanks very much guys
just finished
everything as before
followed your direction and i am back to business

Will this work for partitioning htc desire in windows. Tried Gparted but for some reason it wasn't working for me on boot.

[Q] Revolutionary - Flashed - now boot problems

Hello
I've gone through Revolutionary to free my Desire from the shackles of Orange/T Mobile and HTC's software.
Everything worked fine at first. I got the Revolutionary recovery running, then flashed Cyanogenmod 7.
Cyanogenmod 7 was great, but it kept crashign when I tried opening the Cyanogenmod Settings.
I opened recovery, wiped everything clean and tried to re-flash it again.
It reflashed, but said it did not see an SD-Ext, but went through to the boot screen....
but the boot screen just kept looping over and over.....so I repeated the options listed above and flashed the MIUI Rom and again the boot screen keeps looping.
I went back into Revolutionary Recovery and now the options keep bringing me back to a black screen showing the word Revolutionary..... but wont let me flash again.
I'm stumped and could really use some advice on what to do next.
Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.

Another try - same problem
I went back into Revolutionary recovery and restored the backup (nandroid) and rebooted - this time it went back to Cyanogenmod 7's boot screen and the animation seems to be stuck on a loop.
- The blue android character skates over, the blue animated arrow-sircle spins around him and the Cyanogen logo - then it restarts the animation back to the skating android......again ......again....again....
Someone please help!!
Thanks

Did u flashed even the a2sd script? Did u have an ext partition?
Try a clean installation..Wipe data, cache, dalvik and under mounts and storage format also system and sd-ext(if u have the ext)...Then flash cm7, gapps and a2sd script (if u have the ext, following the instruction on cm7 thread)

I downloaded the Cyanogenmod 7 zip from the main site. As I just did as you suggested the following showed:
- wiping data -
formatting / data ...
formatting / cache ...
formatting / sd-ext ...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
formatting /sd card/android_secure...
Data wipe complete
- wiping cache -
formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
Formatting /sd-ext...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of sd/ext.
Done.
Dalvik Cache wiped.
Where do I find the sd-ext or create an app2sd partition?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

As far as I know, one cannot partition its sd card with ckockworkmod recovery. You have to do it with gparted.
After creating the ext partition, don't forget to flash the a2sd patch from cyanogenmod thread here on xda.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

The sd-ext partition is not striclty required..the rom work also with no ext..
Flash the cm zip again and the gapps, and it should boot..
later, if u need more space, u can create an sd-ext partition for app2sd...search some guide about it..even if u can simply partition ur sd card with the recovery (cwm 3.x only i think or amon ra), but u need to do a backup on ur pc of ur sdcard content, as the partitioning from the recovery will format ur sd card completely..after partioned and restored the content on ur sd card, u can flash the a2sd script on the cm 7 niglhtly thread and u are ok

Yep, it's more recommend to flash cm7 hboot instead of creating an ext partition.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

I think he has used Revolutionary. It is possible to partition the SD card with Clockworkmod recovery. Even I did the same. May be you need to change the stock hboot to CM7r2 hboot partition table

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
it will explain how to make an ext partition

Thank you all for replying. I've got everything running sweet with cyanogenmod 7 and ext partition due to your help.
Big up the xda community!!!

cm7 and cm7r2 hboot rom won't boot

Hi i am using my desire fir nearly 2 yrs and have flash many roms with all hboot. Now when i'm trying to flash a rom with either cm7 or cm7r2 hboot , the phone won't boot. I have fllow the instruction on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192984 but still the same. can anyone help me to sort it out.
Thanks in advance

What hboot you have now and what is the rom in question?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

I have the same problem..
I'm trying to use sebastian15's Runnymede 4.8 ROM.
Any ideas?
I flashed the CM7r2 hboot, wiped data, cache, dalvik, rebooted to recovery, flashed ROM, rebooted, now I'm stuck at HTC splash screen.

I guess you should partition your SD card: the most common is 1gb ext, rest is fat.

I already did that using gparted. 1gb ext4 and rest fat32

Set both partitions primary? Created first FAT and then EXT partition?
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App

ya both are Set primary partitions . I have created the fat partition first and then ext 4.

Same here guys,
CM7r2, 1GB EXT4, 7GBFAT32. Used Aurora 0.41, decided to change to insertacoin as aurora wasn't very stable and looked like partition wasn't working correctly. Pus, EXT4 partition is gone aswell
My sd card isnt readable on Recovery either (recognisable on pc though).
I've tried fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 - Still nothing. Card gives "unable to mount" message. Been at this for 8 hours now....
BUT, when i insert different sd card - seems fine...

OHHHHHH,
Finally looks like i'm all working.
I had to use my spare sd card to load Oxygen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971904
This enabled me to reformat my sd card (that was unrecognisable previously) on my phone - after rebooting the phone twice to recognise the card ( mounting and dismounting).
Card is now back to full capacity of 8GB. I've applied EXT4 1GB again, loaded Insertcoin and it's all GOOD!!!!
In terms of faulty EXT4 - performing fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 seemed to erase all the partitions and bring the card to factory state.
Hope some of you will find it useful.
Good luck to yall and MASSIVE thanks to those posting advice on this forum!!!

The case of vidrom is not the same as mine. see the first post it state clearly that i can't flash rom with cm7 or cm7r2 hboot. nothing to do with card can't recognise. I'm still searching for a solution.

Hey rajesh1108,
Have you tried flashing with Android Flasher ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
I found it to be the easiest way to getting around flashing.
I was once stuck with at boot load and basically redid everything from the beginning using a different guide. Try following this:

Sorry i cant be specific - i'm quite new to all this.
GOOD LUCK!

What rom are you trying to flash?
@vidrom:
Excuse me, but how should your post help the OP?

I solved my problem! Updated my recovery to a new version of Clockwork using ROM Manager.

i'm trying to flash runnymede 4.8.
Yorba which version of recovery are u using. how did u proceed. updated recovery and then flash hboot(cm7r2) and then flash your rom?

I would flash Hboot, recovery and then rom. Are you sure you wiped everything? Created an ext4 partition with at least 512 MB?

ya i have flash the same way you have mention and my ext 4 is 1gb

problems with Data++.

doi need to change my hboot to run data++ roms.??

Backup your sd-card. Boot this (on your PC), reformat your SD-Card and make sure you have:
FAT32 Partition XXGB (Primary)
EXT4 Partition 1024mb (Primary)
tutorial
flash this via fastboot, do a full wipe, reflash.
should do it, if it still doesn't work then I have no idea what may be wrong lol

1. Do a full wipe using 4ext recovery. Full wipe = "Wipe Dalvik Cache erase /data and /cache partitions.wipe the battery stats. There is an option for that in 4EXT menu .
2. Create two partition on your sd card - [xxGB fat32] + [1GB ext] use the partition menu in 4EXT recovery, backup data on sd card first!
3. Flash the .zip file :good:

no, you need to:
- nandroid backup (just in case)
- change hboot to maximise space. i think it will fit inside oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB system, download the rom to check system size or search the thread. download the hboot from alpharev.nl, and i recommend using fastboot commands to change hboot (guide here).
- you need to 'full wipe' when changing roms. in 4ext recovery there is a wipe all partitions except sd card option, this formats everything including system, data, sd-ext etc. wiping cache and data is not enough
- flash rom and reboot

How can i change hboot? I didnt understand that part. And why i need to change it? It sounds not very easy to change those roms and it's confusing a little bit.

follow the guide, i even found it for you
you don't have to change, but it uses the space more efficiently.
you are on stock hboot, so you have 250MB system size, but that mildwild rom system size is only ~95MB. this wastes 155MB empty on /system. by changing to oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB, you waste only 5MB. by switching to oxygenR2 your internal memory also goes up from 147MB to 332MB, allowing more space for apps :laugh:
so up to you if you want this extra space for apps. you might as well change it while switching roms so you don't have to worry about it later.
it's quite easy to change roms once you search how to do it. you are basically backing up, wiping the device and flashing a new rom.

Oh sorry, didnt see the guide.. But i can firstly change the rom and then think about changing hboot yes? And if not changing hboot, if partition sdcard, that gives internal storage too, no?

you can install the rom and change hboot afterwards yes, make sure you nandroid backup! but you might as well change hboot first because you have to full wipe when changing roms anyway. honestly it's not very difficult.
you created your sd card partition with 4ext recovery? i'd recommend it to be 1-1.5GB. the partition will automatically be used for apps and dalvik cache i believe, but you won't 'see' it as extra internal memory.
however, on stock hboot you will only have 147MB for app data, which can fill up quickly depending on how many apps you use. oxygenR2 hboot will be much more efficient use of internal memory. up to you.

yes, i created it with 4ext recovery and i made 1gb of my sd card for internal, i know that i cant see the storage except with titanium backup. I think i will try to flash that rom after full wipe without changing hboot.

Just flashed mildwild rom and it's awesome, much better than 4.2.2 jb with cyanogen 10.1 Thank u guys!
