tried that but it dosnt show the ext partition

How big does it show the 1st partition? And how big is your SD card?
Sent from my Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

my SD Card is 4GB
and it shows 3.37GB
i mentioned it wrong i had made 256MB partition ext2
hope you could help

I don't know if this will work. But you can try it.
Reboot into recovery,
Connect it by USB,
Go to mounts and storage
Unmount sd-ext (only if you see it)
Mount USB storage (don't press anything else now)
Check mini partition tool if it sees the 2nd partition.

Yes you can. But you need to be rooted to use it. You can use clockworkmod or mini partition tool (windows) to do it.

I'm not sure about this but you should be able to install any ruu that has a software number higher than yours. If it doesn't work, make a goldcard and try again.
You can overclock if you flash a custom overclockable kernel

[Q] can't mount sdcard in recovery after running unrevoked

Hi all.. I've got a horrible feeling this has probably been addressed before - but after doing some searching and finding what I think may be answers, I'm still unsure.
I've run Unrevoked to root my Desire.
Now - recovery mode will not mount the SD card.
The phone will mount the ext partition on my sd card.. (Android 2.2, stock HTC Desire).
I'm running Ubuntu.. has anyone got a quick fix method? The phone appears to be charging.
The partition order might be wrong. FAT, then ext is how it should be

if you haven't used Data2sd by partitioning the sd card, then you can just re-flash the rom and it should work fine.
put the rom in your sd card and re-flash it.

Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

No.

Why? Changing hboot is easy, and if you have a brain, you won't brick your phone.
Because I don't always have access to a computer, I know when I have changing it is a matter of a few seconds.

I always change hboot without computer.. Use the PB99IMG.zip method.. Don't forget to wipe all partitions except sd before and after..

Hboots are .Img files, meant to be flashed through adb. There are also .Zip files named PB99IMG.ZIP that contain that img file and that file has to be on sdcard.. (not in folder, just root of sdcard) and when you boot into bootloader it will say it has found an update and ask if you want to flash it.. (afterwards rename the file so it won't ask again next time..)
Also in recovery wipe before and after this process all partitions except sd..

Flash a recovery and partition your SD card. 4ext is the best one out there.

Pretty much for every ROM.
Make 1gb ext3/4 partition with 4ext recovery and you're set.

Will making a partition wipe the SD card using 4ext?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Yes, partitioning does destroy all your data.
Ok so I need to back up SD card to my netbook and then create 1 partition using 4ext and then just put all my data back on sdcard?? Am I right?? And the size of the partition 1gb??? Cheers

Right. Partition can be 1-1.5GB ext4 and rest fat32. Skip all other secondary partitions.

Not necessarily. You can use something like gparted on Linux (or Partition Magic on Windows) to resize your FAT32 partition non-destructively.

Just wipe card and put boot.img and mount with pc and then patch it and then copy ur rom..
U need to mount phone to patch..card reader may wont work so..

That's my problem though. I can mount the phone because the digitizer is unusable and it won't show up on the PC. I took the SD card from the HTC and put it in my tablet to then use goldcard helper to get cid.
Was hoping to not use the phone at all to get my goldcard on the go. Is there no other way?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I have a micro SD card reader now so I can connect it to the PC instead of the tablet now.
I though the goldcard was SD specific rather than phone specific?

Yeah I used it. Mounted USB storage no problem from the phone
Making the gold card I copied all the lines from boot.IMG to my SD card with hxd. Put my PH76DIAG.nbh on the phone for screen calibration and I'm getting "security fail!" "Update error" press power to reboot. I was afraid that was going to happen. Any ideas?
