Hello ,
I have clockwork recovery. I downloaded ROM Manager then i press Partition SD card in ROM manager, choose ext size 256mb and swap size - 0 . Then OK . Phone reboots , but i dont partition SD card, just shows me android with exclamation mark . I can press any button and it brings me to clockwork recovery. But SD card is not partitioned. Why ?
Toggle signature verification in recovery. Can be found under install zip from sd. The use rom manager again.

i did that, but it didnt help.
Clear download cache in rom manager, flash clockworkMod again and try again. If that does not work you need to use Gparted, there have been many instructions on how to do that the last couple of days.
Best method is amon ra recovery.
Install custom image using unrevoked.
With rom manager you can make ext of max 512 mb.
With custom recovery you can do much more.without using pc.
Even i have installed hd rom using same method.
Earlier my card was not even flasing .zip from root.
Now every thing is just fine.

im doing 256mb with ROM manager but its still dont working
discovered a new solution .I disalbled toggle signature, but I noticed that after system reboot Toggle signature verification is turning back to enabled. So i pushed Toggle signature verification again and made it disabled and then just pushed restart recovery and now it made a partition .
I'm having a similar problem with my phone. I accidentally wipe all my partitions from my card and can't seem to create new ones. I tried with 4EXT and either have to wait half and hour with no results or have it tell me it worked but revert to no partitions once phone is rebooted.
Here's the weird part. I tried Gparted which has worked successfully for me in the past, but every time I create and apply my partitions my phone tells me my SD card is damaged and I have to format it again.
Any help or ideas?
Best solution for me was to remove the card and insert it into my Pc.
I then used Minitool Partition Wizard. :good:Bonus was that the data on my card was preserved!:good:

Thanks.
This is bull**** though. That program (like all the others) told me it worked, showed me my partitions (even my old ones from Gparted I'd made the day before) yet once in my phone there's nothing. No extra space.
yh mini tool is useless. what 4ext recovery have u installed? coz usually 4ext recovery partitons sdcards perfect and aligns them perfect.

It is strange. I'm not sure why it's being so stubborn. I am on the latest touch version. Where can I get reflash recovery from?
just click the 4ext recovery in my sig and download the updater app and just flash recovery from there

First of all, go back into recovery and wipe everything in the wipe menu except the SD card and then flash a 'rooted' stock rom (whether ODEX or DE-ODEXED is irrelevant). A link is in my signature. If you can successfully flash a stock rom then it is safe to assume that your current rom is corrupted somehow. Also, what radios & kernel are you using with your current rom? Are they compatible?
i almost feel like when the rom tries to read the sd card it restart..... i did switch sd card same problem

Try downloading and flashing the Synergy rom. It is almost the equivalent of the one you were trying to flash. Let us know if you are successful or not. Disregard my previous post for now, please.

It could be and that is why I always suggest a re-partitioning & re-Formatting of SD cards from time to time. Do you happen to have an ext4 partition set up on your card?

If you are unable to install any other roms, then yes, back up the contents of your card and then, especially if your recovery is amonRA v2.3, re-partition it while in recovery. You should see 'Partition SD card' in the recovery's menu. You will be asked to set a size for the SWAP, ext2 and FAT. If you want to simply have use of the entire card as a FAT, enter 0 for the SWAP & the ext2 partition. If you have lots of 3rd party apps and you plan on installing a rom like Synergy or it's equivalent, you may want to set up an ext3 partition. If you plan to use a Synergy-like rom, I 'suggest' you set up an ext3 partition in this manner:
0 for SWAP
either 1024 or 2048 for the ext2
the rest for FAT and after the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'. All of this is done from within recovery.
Afterwards, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything in it including the card. Then copy a freshly downloaded copy of the rom you want to use and then flash it.
i tried that.... now the sd card dont want to mount or format... and Synergy rom is doing the same thing it boots to the lock screen the reboots..
If it were me, at this point, I would run the RUU for your phone and then click on this link and follow my guide.

Baron, are you still S-OFF? If you are and if you don't think you need to re-flash your recovery, then I agree with HipKat that you need to flash the ruu. If your hboot version is 2.02/2. 10 then yes, flash the ruu with software 3.70.. If you have a Windows computer, you can download the exe version, connect your device to your pc and then run the exe. You can download either version from the link in my signature.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
i am still s-off... with h-boot v 2.10.0001
and im download exe version of RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15. 00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe now... get back to you soon
If the .exe version doesn't work, then give the PC36IMG version a try. I've used that one and it works well.
i run the app and its giving usb connection error at what state does my phone have to be it for this to work?? im in recovery mode right now... htc recovery..

i run it in hboot???
Yep. Make sure it's called PC36IMG.zip and when you boot to Hboot and it does it's scan and asks if you want to update, say yes.
Be ready to flash recovery right after that, btw, so you'll have to get the PC36IMG for recovery on your disk after Hboot Runs RUU. Just let it boot up, if it will and then try to connect to your computer, and swap out the PC36IMG's
i flashed the ruu then Amon_RA-supersonic-v2.3 recovery and it just does the same thing boots to look screen after a few secs it reboots. and sometimes it get stuck at a black screen and green blinking light.. then i have to pull the battery...

So I had official Desire gingerbread I rooted it with http://revolutionary.io/
Created fat32 partition and two ext4 partitions and no metter what ROM I install it stucks at splash screen.

Read the OP of the respective ROM. The required partitions are stated there, but usually 1 fat32 and 1 ext is necessary.

go to mounts and storage and format everything apart from sdcard. Then try to reflash a ROM
I unrooted it but its still have Alpharev hboot, I tryed agien after bravo_downgare.img I hope it works, if it works I'll root it agien.
Ok I'm back at working gingerbread, I'm rooting right now. After that I'll create one fat32 partition and two ext4 for this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103410
I hope it works this time.
Any ideas why it didn't work in first place?
After rooting I have HBOOT 6.93.1002
delete your partition and start over with gparted
create your both partition with gparted and then wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache through recovery and after you have done this steps flash your desired rom
I did it all and when I choose install zip from sd it say's E: can't mount /sdcard
I'm back on original gingerbread becouse I tryed 5 different romds from Sensation based to Android stock roms and all of them stuck in slpash screen. Why?

Yes I did wipe everything.

I made my ext 4 partitions with gparted live. As it didin't work I even tryed "create partitions" in recovery. Still stuck at splash screen. If I connect it to PC it constantly sound like I would connect it and disconnect it from PC.
did you created ext 2, ext 3?
did you create ext 2 & ext 3?
maybe the special requirement for the ROM that you wanted to flash is that you need ext 4, but I think you have to have ext 2 & ext 3 partition, like normal.
it is rather uncommon to me (I've only been here not very long) to see a ROM that requires two ext 4 partitions.

Every rom is particular
Normally its required 1 (ONE), and not 2, ext3 partition
2 ext partitions are a problem if not used properly
Re-do everything if u still cant boot ur phone

As far as I understand for this ROM i need two ext partitions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103410
"Remember, in order for data2ext to work properly you need fat+ext+ext where your 2nd ext is 1/3 of your first ext"
What kind of ext partitions should I make ext 3?
I just understood why I'm stuck at splash screen - it's cuz I dont have root access. I use http://revolutionary.io/ but It just give me S-Off and not Root access.
How can I get root accesss?
The root permissions are inside the rom..as u going to install a custom rom, every custom rom have root access..

Flash a simple rom and see if it works..try cyanogenmod nyghtly in the dev thread..it doesnt require ext partition..follow the instruction on the first post of the thread

May be a motherboard fault, or a broken ext partition. Do you use an ext partition?
yes, i have ext3 1gb... i try to partition sd card again via clockworkmod, it says done but nothing change. data inside it exist still. and problem continues.

Partition it again using the guide in my sig.
Clockworkmod recovery cant partition very well so that could be ur problem like abaaaabbbb63 says, change ur recovery to 4ext recovery and then partition ur sdcard with abaaaabbbb63 guide.
thanks for all, i tried format my sd card in linux with gparted but it always gave error. in windows, i can see the files inside it but cannot copy or open them. i tried to format in windows but it says "windows unable to format the card". evetually, i bought new card, format it and it worked. now, my broken card is 32 gb class 10 samsung, i dont want to throw it. how can i fix it? any suggestions?

Hi.
Ever since ive rooted my desire ive been using clockworkmod recovery and I'm kind of getting bored of it. Don't get me wrong, its stable and Its never given me any problems, but i change want some change lol.
Does anyone have any recommendations for recoveries? I'm thinking of switching to either cwm touch, 4ext, or twrp.
Also when I switch, do I need to somehow delete my current recovery, or is it OK to just flash it through fastboot without deleting the old one?
Thanks

4ext recovery is highly regarded around here, it's good for partitioning sd card properly among other things. see my sig, you can install it through the 4ext app.
to change recoveries you need s-off. when you change, it automatically overwrite the previous one. i think it's only possible to have only one recovery at a time (you only need one working one!)
4ext all the way. Best for Desire.

4Ext
I've recently switched from Clockworkmod to 4Ext and have found it quite good.
4Ext has tons of options and can be themed, the only problem I've had with it is the occasional issue where when you boot into recovery it comes up as read-only on /system.
This issue is easily resolved by deleting the 4Ext folder off your SD-Card and rebooting into recovery.
Apart from that - it's rock solid and much nicer to use than Clockworkmod....
thanks guys,
i just flashed it and its pretty cool.
I noticed that when i went to info it showed my ext partition as ext2, when i am sure that i partitioned it as ext4(using gparted)
Anyone else have this problem?

that's strange, not seen that before. you can backup your sd card to PC, then repartition from scratch as ext4. i've converted ext3 to ext4 before using 4EXT, don't think it can do ext2 to ext4?
you can't restore a backup to a different file type afaik. in other words, if you have apps on ext2 at the moment, don't think they'll be happy if they're restored to ext4.
if you're flashing a brand new rom, not really a problem, you'll need to full wipe anyway, so you'll have a fresh new ext4 partition to fill.

yeah its weird. I think i'll just leave it for now as it doesnt seem to be causing any issues.
Also i got this message on the second boot into recovery saying that i changed by hboot (even though i didnt) and that i should wipe my system partition. I decided not to, and my rom booted properly, so is that message normal?
One more thing, when i boot into recovery it takes about 15 seconds to prepare the boot. Is this normal too?
15 seconds isn't normal....
That sounds like the read-only /system partition message that I've got a few times..
Resolved by deleting the 4EXT folder from SD-CARD and it was fine on the next boot into recovery. (only 2 or 3 seconds)
Thanks that fixed it.
