[Q] Desire keeps locking up...

Hi all.....
I have a rooted desire that is S-OFF,
I have flashed lot of ROMS (Im using CM7 partition)
and the phone just keeps locking and needs battery pulling,
mainly when i receive calls..??
Any suggestions or ideas I can try people???
Thanks for any help offered!!!!

1. give us more detail
2. boot into recovery, go to:
\mounts & storage
>format boot
>format system
>format data
>format cache
>format sd-ext
3. Reflash your ROM.
4. Does not work? Defenestrate your phone.

Thanks for reply,yes i always do a clean fresh install ,so i format SD and wipe Dalvik etc,im now thinking it could possibly be the radio as its not one of the latest....
But because im S-OFF i cant flash it in the normal way,If i flash back from Cm7r2 partition to the standard HBoot one, will i be able to flash the radio ZIP via Recovery again??
Many thanks..

or you could just flash the .img via fastboot.. it's much safer, there links to radios on my guide.. but it's unlikely it'd be the radio.. could give it a try though I suppose..

Troubles flashing Cool3D AceS v6

Hi all,
For some reason I still can't post in the dev section, but I do have 10 posts.
Anyway, here's the thing: I have troubles flashing Cool3D AceS v6 ROM on my Desire.
Now, I'm not a super experienced with flashing ROMs and hacking Android, but i managed to root it of course, s-off it, make the 1GB EXT4. I have a stock hboot. Currently I'm using InsertCoin 2.1+3.0 ROM.
Here are the reqs for the Cool3D AceS v6:
CM7 Hboot 130MB System, 5MB Cache, 302MB Data.
CM7 r2 Hboot 145MB System, 5MB Cache, 287MB Data.
DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data.
STOCK Hboot 250MB System, 40MB Cache, 147MB Data.
The problem is this: i do a full wipe, flash rom, it actually does boot, but I can't see any widget, and they're all force closing. Also, it says I have 0 space available.
So, what did I do wrong?
Did I have to allign the EXT4 partition, like the dev says? Do I have to flash different hboot? Do I have to flash the latest radio?
EDIT: posted this in the official threat. Feel free to lock this one.
Thx

Did you flash stock_hboot.zip directly after install? You find it on the first post of coolext´s thread

Hi
I have a similar problem like yours. I have installed plenty of custom ROMs including Oxygen, CM7.1, almost all Sense and MIUI XJ Rom, but i cant seem to be able to install the ICS ROM by SAndvold. I always get stuck in a bootloop.
Any help will be appreciated with 'thanks' ;p
Didnt want to start a new thread as ppl get angry about it here.

Always do a full wipe when flashing ROMs specially when you are moving from one ROM to another. It is recommended that you align you EXT as well because from my understanding, that's the difference between a laggy rom and a smooth one.
via xda app

How exactly to you align EXT partition?

Check the first page of the ROM you are flashing. There's a link provided to get a flashable zip to align your ext It's just above the change log section.
Another method is using 4EXT Recovery. It aligns the ext partitions when it creates it.

Hi. I use 4ext recovery and it tells me that my fat32 n ext partitions are perfectly aligned.... I always do full wipe all partition except sdcard. The ONLY rom I have trouble flashing is the. Sndvold ICS. If any one has the same problem, please let me know.... Thanks.

FIXED [Q] Stucked on boot after HBOOT change

Hi,
I am not new at flashing and modding but got stucked and need some expert help
Here is what I have done:
1. had hboot cm7r2 and Runnymede AIO ROM - Working great but decided to sell Desire
2. Changed HBOOT to Alfarev Sense, partitioned to ext3
3. Installed Leedroid 3.0.8. Sense ROM
4. Rebooted - after that can not go further than boot screen
I repeated procedure few time but still on boot screen
Any ideas ?!

Why don't you try the STOCK partition table because it has a bigger system partition size

Probably the best choice for you would be to restore stock HTC rom.
Just sayin...

did you format all partitions? aligned ext3?

Sounds like you did not wipe cache after changing Hboot and did not wipe anything when changing Rom. If you did that, the Leedroid Rom does not fit into Sense Hboot, so you have to change to Stock Hboot:
Wipe everything, flash hboot (do not forget to reboot bootloader and wipe cache afterwards) and then flash ROM again.

Cannot get rid of MildWild rom

Hey Guys,
I downloaded MildWild 3.0 w/ Xperia Arc Launcher found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353861
This rom installs using my sd partition I believe, because I have a 1gb partition, and when it loaded up I had 800+ mb free.
This morning I downloaded the Cm7r2 version of Alex-V: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872464
I wiped my data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and installed that rom, but when it booted up it was MildWild again, so I did the same steps and tried again, with the same results.
I figured that there was something on the sd ext partition that was booting MildWild so I downloaded the "data2ext/whatever 387mb Hboot version" version of that same Alex-V rom.
This time it booted into a loading screen that said Android, instead of MildWild, but it just kept looping, and after leaving it for 15 minutes I just pulled the battery.
Now I decided to just wipe out my ext partition and sd card in full, so I went into the settings > storage > unmount sd card > wipe sd card
Booted into CWM, installed the Alex Cm7r2 rom again, AND IT BOOTED INTO MILDWILD! lol...
I have no idea what's going on, any info is very much appreciated.

Reflash recovery or try a different one and wipe again.

Do a full wipe.
if in 4ext....format all partitions (except SD card)
Else wipe/format system, data, cache, SD-ext.
formatting ur SD card will not wipe SD-Ext.

Thanks for your post.
I'm using CWM 4.0 and I don't see any option to wipe sd-ext, but it seems to do it when I do the wipe data / factory reset.
I can only see the 4ext remote that costs 2.50 or something in the market, is that the one you're referring to?

there is a free app 4ext recovery updater

Thanks, got it off their site ( for anyone else it's on http://4ext.net/ )

ok, so when I opened that app it just had the same options as I have in CWM, no sd-ext wipe, just factory reset/cache/dalvik and battery. When I chose all of them it asked me to boot into recovery to do them, and it just booted up CWM again lol

you need to flash 4ext recovery first via app
just confirmation are you s-off?

Flashing recovery doesn't require S-Off'ed.

for 4ext: Flash the latest recovery (classic or touch) from the updater app. touch recovery is a good one to start with.

Thank you everyone for the help. I installed 4ext and flashed it ( I am s-off'd btw ) and I was able to wipe all partitions (except sd card) and it worked. I'm not sure what I was missing in CWM, because I definitely formatted the ext. As long as it works I'm happy tho, thanks again!

Your initial problem seems to be that you were not wiping /system/.
Your problem with the Alex 387MB version was that the /system/ partition was too big for your hboot.
When swapping between 2 different ROMS you always need to:
1) Check that the new ROM will fit on your hboot
2) Wipe all partitions except SD from recvovery.

[Q] How to update from Gingervillan to Sandvold

Hi,
I am new to flashing and it is a long time ago when I flashed Gingervillan.
Current state of my phone is: S-on, hboot is 0.093.0001 and I have root. I do not know which version of recovery is installed.
What I did up to now to prepare the Sandvold flash is backing up with nandroid. My first question is: Can I go back with this nandroid back to my Gingervillan system regardless what Iam doing with partitioning, hboot or flashing another recovery?
The second question is: I read, that the sandvold image can cope with all hboot versions. Nevertheless I would like to install CM7r2 since it is much smaller. So I have to S-off first. Am I right?
Third question is: Which kind of recovery do I need to flash the sandvold ROM? I have tried to flash Sandvolds ROM with the recovery I have currently installed but it did not work.
Fourth question: Do I need to partition my SDcard newly to benefit from Apps2SD? I now have very rare space and had to move my Dalvik cache to SD.
Thanks for your help.

A nandroid won't restore hboot, recovery, and won't undo your sd-partition. It just restores boot, system, cache, data, sd-ext.
S-off with revolutionary, then install 4ext recovery and partition your sd-card.
