[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery issue - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to partition my sd card using ROM Manager but when the phone reboots into ClockworkMod recovery it does do anythnig and just sits at the menu
Ive installed the latest ClockworkMod recovery (v5.0.2.0) but when the phnes reboots its coming up saying ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
If i navigate through the menus i dont actually see any options for partitioning the sd card either?
Im guessing im not actually running v5.0.2.0, is there a way i can fix this?
Im running the ICS ROM on my HTC desire but memory is really low after installing only 3 or 4 apps (even when i transfer them to SDCARD) so i was hoping i could put apps on the sd-ext partition

That's because you used ROM Manager. If you read a bit in the desire section, you'd discover that this useless software causes tons of problems. Read some guides here, do s-off, install 4ext and partition your SD with gparted.

Unable to install Amon-Ra and EXT4 - after searching all over and tried everything

Wanted to replace ROM to HD but after 2 days, I'm still having problems.
First used Gparted to convert my SD card: 1GB ext4 + the rest is Fat32.
Did that, but after that, unable to install any rom.
So, I used partition minitool and converted to ext3 (there is no option there for ext4). After that, I was able to install HD roms. But, as many mentioned, for speed, I need ext4. so, tried with unrevoked to flash Amon-ra without success. Tried with terminal, also without success.
Few months ago, I rooted my desire with unrevoked and now it has clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1. I wanted amon-ra to convert to ext4 but in every way unable to flash it.
Please, I know that there are many threads about but after reading and trying almost every solution, still can't install roms when I make ext4 with Gparted and also unable to flash amon ra recovery.
I have desire with Hboot 0.80 factory unlocked. Used for past few months Leedroid but have time now to switch to another rom and struggling for 2 days now.
Thank for help.

You have to be much more specific. There are like 100 errors you can get when running unrevoked. Give us the error and we can help you further.
But the part what I don't get is why you want a ext4? Most roms use ext2, ext3 and ext4 and it makes really no noticiable difference in speed. So stick to ext3 and you should be fine.
unrevoked got stucked in rebooting (it writes it and just stuck there after flash).
Yesterday, I got sd card read only after doing ext4 with Gparted on 3 different HD roms. So, I formatted, checked for errors and fixed.
when I make an ext4 partition and trying to install rom, it says something about ext error line 6 on 3 different roms that I tried to install.
I wouldn'z bother so much but read that some HD roms need ext4.
And, no matter how I tried, I can't flash amon ra recovery.
also, does it ok that when I put it in recovery from off, the clockworkmod version is 2.5.0.1 and not 7 or 9 ?
I read a lot good things about amon-ra but really gave up after not doing any progress in 2 days.
for now, I installed RCMixHD rom.
You don't need EXT4 at all, EXT3 is fine
So after struggling with HD roms, I turned back and went back to leedroid 2.2a but with 1gb ext3 partition instead of 512mb ext2.
Now I have left only 25mb for apps without installing anything. How can I increase this storage?
Can you suggest if it worth switch to amon-ra recovery?
Which rom can you suggest for best stability, speed without loose htc sense ?
Do hd roms really much better vs usual like leedroid?
Thank you for the help.

Noob question related to Post # 5 ^
Can custom ROMs be interchanged among HTC phones? Ex: Desire HD Custom flashed onto a Desire?
Hope this helps?
Perhaps you could try with another sd card?
1) Put all the necessary files onto the new card.
2) Wipe everything.
3) Root it again using unrevoked, use clockworkmod.
4) Install rom manager and use it to partition sd card. its automatic.
5) Flash new rom, i'm using Oxygen rom froyo stable. It works very well.
You are still not very specific. What is your OS? What is the version of unrevoked that you use? Tell me the exact steps that you took. Every step of the way.
1. You have to installl HTC sync. Then after you installed it, remove it from your pc.
2. Load the drivers from the unrevoked site.
3. Disconnect your phone and run unrevoked, then select custom image.
4. Connect your phone and let it run.
I downloaded the latest unrevoked from their site. Tried to flash amon ra in windows xp after uninstalling htc sync. It started to flash and after that wrote 'waiting for rebooting '. The desire rebooted but nothing changed and unrevoked just stuck writing that line.
Few months ago as I bought the desire, I rooted it with unrevoked and put leedroid 2.2a. Since then, not changed anything. Recovery is clockworkmod 2.5.0.1
as I see it now, it more smooth after ext 3.
If I don't need ext 4 why few rom authors say that I need it?
S-on if it make any difference.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There are no roms that I know of that will say that your need ext4, only that it is supported.
After you uninstalled htc sync, did you install the unrevoked drivers?
Yes. I installed the drivers from unrevoked site.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
And you turned usb debugging on and selecter that it should be remembered?
Yes, of course. For now, I'm unable to do anything because the htc sync corrupted my xp + 7 dual boot hard drive and I'm restoring the pc.

I'm sorry, but that is impossible. HTC Sync, a lightweight Windows application cannot corrupt Windows OS, nor the hard disk. It isnt a virus!
After uninstalling it with revo uninstaller and restarted the pc, it stayed stuck in login to windows. I'm not happy neither to reinstall 2 operation systems + recover all data.
it probably corrupted the registry.
But this is not the point.

Recovery for slcd HTC desire

I looked for everywhere bit couldn't find any link to clockwork recovery 3.0(ext4 partitions) or ny other that I can use with unrevocked..to make or erase ext4 partitions
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Using a recovery to partition ext will only partition ext2/3 at best. To get 4 you can run some scripts or something that will upgrade the ext partition, or you can format it using something like Gparted or Easus.
I definitely recommend doing any partitioning with Gparted, cos I'm running Clockworkmod 3.0 on an SLCD desire (installed during rooting with Unrevoked) and the partitioning option never works. Neither does ROM Manager, whereas Gparted has never failed me once.
Keep ROM manager on your phone though, cos sometimes, 3.0 cant flash a zip cos of some edify script issue, so if this ever happens, go into ROM manager and tell it to flash clockworkmod, then ask it to boot into recovery. It will boot you into clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 as a one off, and flashing these zips in 2.5.0.7 always works.
After you flash the zip and reboot back to android, next time you try to use clockworkmod you'll be back to 3.0.
Here's the thread where you can get Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5:

You should avoid using Rom Manager. It doesn't work properly and causes more problems than what it solves.
In my opinion, use CWM 2.5.0.7 because it works and all scripts work with it. Until there is an official release for 3.0, it won't work properly.

This would be the ideal option, but I found that when using 2.5.0.7 creating backups failed, which is a pretty important feature!!
That's the only reason why I changed to 3.0.0.5.
Have you tried rebooting?

[Q] Can't boot my Desire with any ROM

Hi,
I am having some real problems with my Desire. I was using T-Mod (Leedroid) but thought I'd try out the RCMix ROM this arvo so I did all my backups and a Nandroid backup. I was using CWM 2.5.0.7 and this was fine before but I tried to flash RCMix on and it didn't work. I then tried to upgrade CWM to 3.2.0.8 unsuccessfully. I even tried upgrading from ext3 to ext4 and I formatted my 16GB SD card but that didn't help either.
I have not been able to upgrade anything yet and my phone will not even boot up stock. It is not letting me do any installs of zips, it says no files found and it won't let me do any Nandroid restores either.
So I am stuck with a useless phone that I can't even temporarily use because it won't boot past the Telstra boot screen. I can only get into bootloader and recovery. I have wiped everything but can't get anything to work. I am S-ON.
Can anybody help me? I'm at a loss and have been googling and trying things for hours upon hours tonight. It would be great just to even get back to stock....
Format your SD card (copy content to PC first!), go to fastboot and then try RUU from Telstra...
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using Tapatalk
The Telstra RUU didn't work because it's too old. I'm downloading the downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 right now, so I'll try that and see what happens.
Any ideas why CWM can't see the zip files on my sd card?
Corrupted data perhaps...? Try formating your sd (all partitions - if any ext3/4) and rebuild your partitions... It should work...by your intel, it must be an sd card problem, have you tried another one...?
Sent from my cool Desire
I tried formatting it a few times. I tried both ext3 and also ext4 but it still couldn't see the zip files. I also formatted the FAT32 part. I used Gparted to do it with the FAT32 partition at the left and ext3/4 on the right. I tried it at 2GB but it didn't like it so I tried 1.8GB and then it recognised the ext3/4 part but still can't see the zip files.
Just finished downloading the downgrade so will try that now.
Perhaps something is wrong with my sdcard..?
The downgrade failed but I've managed to flash RCMix on with a different 2GB sdcard. I have tried to use the other card again but CWM still can't find any files on it for some reason. Gparted is also not loading it anymore so perhaps that 16GB sdcard is dead. Looks like I'm going to need to buy a new 16GB sdcard so I can store my music on there again as 1GB is being used for the ext3 partition.
Does this sound about right, that the sdcard is dead?
I can still use and access it in windows, it just won't work on the phone.
I found that if the cards file system is on the way out cwm nicely wipes it for me. If after several formats its the same, it may well be a dead card
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yeah ok, I've formatted it numerous times and it still won't read any zips. I wasted so much time when all I had to do was use another sdcard....sucks so much.
Also how do I permanently upgrade CWM from 2.5.0.7? I have to keep fake flashing 3.2.0.8 at the moment.
I was thinking when I get my new sdcard that I'll try and do S-OFF. Is it worth it? Should I bother?
Oh god yeah. Fake flash has so many flaws. S-off and fastboot flash recovery.img. see fastboot faq in my signature
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok thanks, I'll try S-OFF and flash a new recovery.img when I get a new sdcard.
Which version of CWM is best to use? I was going to use 3.2.0.8 because that's what was said to use with RCMix.
I use 5.0.2.0 for some time now and I haven't had any problems at all.

Stuck in bootloop

Hello,
Today I attempted to root my HTC Desire. I used this site ( youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M ) to do so.
I installed several programs that required SU access to check if the rooting was succesful.
I downloaded SystemAppRemover to remove some of the originally installed pieces of software. Unfortunately that didn’t work out too well: some of the buttons on the Phone aren’t responding anymore. So I figured, let’s turn off the Phone and turn it back on.
Then the next program revealed itself: the Phone wont boot, its trapped in the booting proces. I read elsewhere online that I should try to revert to the original firmware, but I have no idea how to do that.
Can anybody advice on this please? I used android 2.3 before.
Thanks in advance,
Veldscholte

First backup is for saving a lot of troubles, like this one... Was it not worth to make it? You can flash any custom ROM or you can flash ruu-see bortak guide from stickies I'm on the phone limitation of resources ATM
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I see that you're running Runnymede 5.0.3. Looking through the ROM's thread, i've found that it requires that you have an EXT partition on the SD card and that your phone is S-OFF, both of which, i believe, your phone lacks. That might be the reason why it's stuck at the bootscreen.
Runny 5.0.3 ROM's thread said:
REQUIREMENTS:
- CM7r2 or stock HBOOT (from Alpharev)
- Must be S-OFF! (see S-OFF guide).
- A 1GB ext4 partition (see partition guide for 4EXT Recovery).
- A recovery with touch drivers: I recommend 4EXT Recovery. Optional but recommended.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Before installing ANY ROM, please read its thread carefully. Some ROMs require various types and sizes of EXT partitions, others require different HBOOTS etc. If you don't follow the instructions properly, you will get bootloops.
From my understanding, you are now running the stock HBOOT (250 MB of /system space). If your phone is network-free (unbranded), you should download the latest 2.2 stock RUU from HTC, install it on your phone and that'll solve all of your problems (use Search). You can root/S-OFF afterwards and install any ROM that your heart desires (making sure you follow instructions, this time).
If you read his first post and watched video, he is s-off with stock hboot as he used revolutionary to get root... i think he is missing only ext4 partition and touch recovery
First off. ALways do a Nandroid backup from within recovery. This would have given you the option to restore your original rom,"with S-Off".
Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200261
download and install from recovery,"Wipe data/factory reset & dalvik cache first"
please read Bortaks Guide before messing to much wth your phone.

Do not use recovery to format ext3 or ext4. This will only lead to errors.

Hello guys. Thanks for all the reply's. I'm sorry to say it, but I'm a beginner in this area. What is the best thing I can do now? How do I format all my partitions into ext4?
Click to expand...

Why do you want to format ALL of your partitions to EXT4? You phone needs a FAT32-partition as well.
So if the ROM you flashed or you want to flash needs an EXT4-partition, backup all important data on your SD card, boot into recovery and partition your SD card with FAT32-partition plus an EXT4-partition with 1 GB (I recommend 1 GB because it will be compatible with nearly every ROM you find here) and copy all data back on FAT32-partition.
You can do this operation either in recovery (worked always well for me) or with GParted. Just do not use software like MiniTool Partition Wizard or any other Windows software which "deals" with EXT-partitions, because these types are Linux-partition-types and I would not trust Windows there if you want to have the rewards of your SD card.

This is just not true. Recovery is an easy and very good way to partition your SD card and will work well nearly every time. I cannot remember any partitioning errors (can you name at least one anyway?) or rather problems caused by partition with recovery. As far as I remember, the causes were always crap software like Rom Manager or MiniTool Partition Wizard or something like that.

Apologies, what i should have said was," could possibly cause problems ". I have occasionally had problems with some fussy roms boot-looping after installation, but after reformatting in Gparted, they have worked," this could be coincidence though ". I fully agree with you on the likes of Rom Manager and MiniTools.

[Q] Problems and questions before rooting my HTC Desire

Hey all! I am a beginner and i want to root my HTC Desire to install VJ CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 Custom Rom. But i am having issues understanding some things before rooting. I am going for Unrevoked to root and flash CMW on my Desire. And then backup the stock Rom with CMW. I am having these issues:
1. The download link for the custom rom (VJ CM10.1 JB 4.2.2) of HTC Desire on this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704 gives two option for download. One is for 'Stock Hboot version' and the other is 'Sense/Data++'. How do i know if i have stock or sense/data++. Cause holding down volume and power button will only show the Hboot version e.g 0.75 or something. How do i know that i need my custom rom for stock or sense/data++? PS what is sense and data++?
2. Before flashing the custom rom i will backup my stock rom with CWM. And i think it would backup on the sd card? But after backing up when i will go for partitioning the sd card to have more internal memory and then install my VJ custom rom it will also delete my stock rom backup? right? So how do i store my stock rom backup before partitioning and formatting the sd card and then bring it back on the sd card to be later accessible by CWM?
3. If i will partition the sd card and run the a2sd script to move my apps to sd card, in which partition would it move to? And out of the two which partition would be available for me to use for like music, videos etc.
Any help would be highly appreciated! I am stuck on these issues

1. You have stock hboot. You have to change it to have anything else except the stock one. You haven't changed it, and won't be able to, due to being s-on.
2. After CWM is installed, do a backup, then boot back in the stock ROM, connect your phone to your pc, and move your backup from your sd to your pc (backup folder: clockworkmod/backup)
3. You clearly don't fully know how partitioning works. Check the guide in my sig. It explains a lot.
You solved it!
Thanx alot man! You solved my problem! Just one more qs. I read your full guide about partitioning the sd card and now is clear with everything. But there is one thing still troubling me. For suppose if i partition it with your guide ext3 or ext4 type whatever. Then if i partition my 4 gb card to 2048mb, a second partition of 2gb would be created as an internal memory? And the rest 2gb would be the first partition to be used as a normal sd card with default android folders? right?
Yep. The rest will remain FAT32 so it will act just like the SD did before.

Thanks alot! Now I am clear with everything!
The hoot defines how the internal memory is partitioned. A portion is set aside for the system, boot, user and I have probably forgotten one.
I have not run VJ's rom in a few months but I believe 1.5GB is the recommended maximum sd-ext partition for stability reasons on roms using a2sd.
