Problems flashing Cyanogenmod - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
My girlfriend got my old Desire and I flashed Oxygen and Oxygen hboot on it some time ago. Now I want her to have Cyanogenmod (because of some errors with Oxygen). I know I can't just flash Cyanogenmod without deleting a few apps from the zip file, if I want it to work with the Oxygen hboot.
I deleted unnecessary apps so the file is about 66MB in size. I deleted the data/factory reset and wiped the cache (as told in the tutorial), I flashed and it gets stuck at the HTC bootscreen.
How do I flash it WITH the Oxygen Hboot?

Best you open the zip in 7zip or something. Then check whether the expanded size of the sytem folder is less than the oxygen 100 MB. For Ex Oxygen 2.3.2 system folder is 61.5MB which when expanded fills around 96MB.

It its. About 10 MB to big. I don't know what to remove. I really don't need LatinIME (keyboard) and the launcher, but I need it to start. I just need to install titanium backup.
EDIT: i also tried flashing cyanogenmod without factory reset and just wiping cache and Delvik cache. It worked, but I couldn't ass a google accout, even though I flash google apps too.

Is it so hard to flash different hboot?
I think that you can survive without that 20-30MB...

if u dont want, or know how to use fastboot just download the PB99IMG version of the hboot, rename it to just PB99IMG.zip, put it on ur sdcard and boot into bootloader (volume down +power) then ur bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask to update bootloader? volume up for yes then it will ask to reboot? volume down for no. then just enter recovery, full wipe and install the rom. simple

This is one and the easiest way how you can do it, but I prefer flashing via fastboot. I also recommend format of all partitions before flashing. Trust me it's less problem than stripping of rom.

Alright. I will do that instead then.

Of course, but I do that even before flashing, cause a few times I got problems with recovery not working so I had to flash it also.

Installed the hboot and flashed Cyanogenmod. Works so far.

Of course it works. If you like CM7 you can check out my Sony Xperia themed rom, maybe you'll like it more...

I think you have both cm7 and cm9 versions on Cyanogenmod site.
I personaly have a Desire so I made a few roms for it, so if I ever have a G II (which I doubt cause I'm not a big fan of Samsung, actually I hate it )...
The rom I suggested you I made based on cm 7.2.0.1, the latest stable version, but it is modded a little bit.

That means the ROM is designed to run with the CM7 hboot - the hboot is a separate thing you may want to flash.
Note that you don't have to do this - ROMs will work fine with the stock hboot, but the custom one will give you more space for apps in the /data partition.
Some roms works only with custom Hboot like CM7 Hboot or Oxygen Hboot, if the rom doesn't need CM7 Hboot stay with stock Hboot

What's the rom in question?
Fr_78: not quite. As stated above you if you are running stock hboot you will be able to use cm7 roms as well.
The difference is in the partition layout, and as the cm7 hboot has a smaller system partition you won't be able to run a sense rom with it. However you will be able to do it the other way around(cm7 rom on std hboot), as there will just be loads of free(and unusable) space on the system partition.
Have been wondering this myself... I am using baadnewz's GS 2.1 ROMs lately in A2SD+... I have been wanting to switch to the CM7 version due it being apparently faster and lighter on internal memory. Have not got around to flashing CM7 HBoot yet, but if I run on stock HBoot, will I still see the advantages in speed and memory??
PS, I am not S-Off yet, either...that was to be part of the CM7 HBoot procedure...
If it's space you want for apps, try using StarBurst or SuperNova ROM, which both use Data2SD. LeeDroid, MIUI also support Data2SD (but you'll need to flash the A2SD killer first, then install Data2SD afterwards). No need to flash custom HBoot, IMO.
It's the one from Robocik rcmix1.0 but with cm i have memory problems but they say its faster...dunno what to do..

The rom sits in the /system partition, and all of that partition is ringfenced according to your partition table, so it can't be used for other things. So even if the rom is smaller, unless you change the hboot, you don't get more free internal memory (/data partition).
how can i have both of them?cm7 and stock?

In fact you may have 2. Just download the appropriate pb99img.zip and put them in SD , with the roms you want to use (one for each partition table). So each time you want to change, just rename it and boot into hboot, then flash the other ROM and voila!
Havent actually tested, but in theory it should work

I don't think that I am ever going to try... See there is not much space on my SD to have two .zip of full roms ready to be installed, 2 different pb99img.zip and 2 full nandroid backups. Not to talk about titanium backups and my explorer
It is just too much complicated to do all that , just to say that you "dual boot" two different hboot roms...

New Cm7 hboot

I made a nandroid backup of a Rom before I upgraded my hboot to alpharev r2.
Is it ok to go back to this old Rom with the new hboot? I'm suspecting it is considering they tell you to backup before doing it, just not entirely sure??

Yes it is, hboot just changes the partition table, as long ad the rom you want to use fits with the hboot you flashed it's all good!
CM7 Android 2.3.4
Good day to everyone!
It is possibly too early to speculate, but does the new CM7 HBOOT means that the next version of CM7 will take up more /system partition space? Or is it just a "to be sure" move?

Well I heard that on Oxygen rom, they were having difficulty "shrinking" the size of the system files, that's why there is a new bootloader. You can prob say that for CM7 as well. As software develops, it gets bigger as any piece of software, so you have to upgrade the space available at some point.
r2
Hey,
I have the old hboot cm7 version...
IS the new one the r2 ?
And, can I just update the new hboot without backing up or flashing everything new?
Btw, the rom I use is made for cm7 hboot

You would have to backup. If you bothered to look you would notice that the /system partition has grown by 15MB and the /data partition has shrunk by 15MB. So I would backup if I was you cause most likely if will mess up.
I see that the Cache is now 5megs... will that effect things like Market when it tries downloading a 30meg APK file?

You have to activate a2sd+ to download things from market. Or maybe there exits a "market download fix" for the rom you use. If you want to radio, you cannot do it with recovery, you have to do it over fastboot.

[Q] Stuck after installing cyanogenmod

Hello guys (and girls)
I have a really big issue here.... I used alpharevX to s-OFF my Wildfire, after succeeding I rooted my phone, also worked. Downloaded clockworkmod and then I'd try to install cyanogenmod 7.0.0. but the picture with the android on the skateboard was in a loop for a few hours.. (lol). I'd tryed some things in recovery mode, but now everytime I reboot, I'm stuck in the hboot! Have I bricked my phone now?
I have vodafone
If you could help me, I would appreciate it big time!
Nope. Not bricked.
Guess u didn't make a factory reset / data wipe before installing cm7.
And lol. How did u wait for hours. I would have just pulled out the battery.
Make factory reset and data wipe and reinstall cm7. Hope it solves
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Tried factory reset, but when I reboot, still in hboot
Try flashing a different rom?
And why the heck did you get CM7 7.0.0, we're on 7.0.3 in stable builds
Even didn't get u clearly. Maybe are u talking about android picture in recovery mode.
If so, u should use trackpad to select options in recovery. Pressing power button will give u back options and sometimes that picture. Re-pressing the power button gets rid of that picture.

He's right.
You should download 7.0.3
In other things, you should wipe everything and have a factory reset of data.
Then go to partitions menu and manually format /system /boot....
and then try installing the CM7 zip.
See if that helps.

[Q] about [ROM] [20/08] Pre-rooted Stock Gingerbread (3.14.405.1) from teppic74

Hello there Dudes!
First i want to send you my compliments for your GREAT and helpfull sites/ forum about all rootings & stuff
A past few Days i had such no idea about rooting etc. You helped me sooo much, i just want to say thank you...
And NOW?!?!
I'm coming from FROYO_2.2.2 with 5.11.xx now i have the OFFICIAL GB 2.3.3 with 5.17.xx
I HAVE ROOT! I HAVE S-OFF!
I have a new Hboot and CWM flashed!!!
Everything works fine.
But I still have problems with the internal Memory. A few aps and im out of space This is why i now had part my sd with des RomManager Tool. 512 to ext and 256 to cache.
But the Stock-Install don't mount the ext.part.
Now i have read, i had to do it BEVORE install ROM. Right? Not a big Problem, but i want to stay Stock as possible. So this ROM seems to be perfekt.
It shouldn't be any problem with GSM/HSDPA/EDGE and all the european NetworkStuff?!?
By the way: Provider is O2 (but i think it doesn't matter)
BUT:
Now I have a little problem to download the file from mirror placed in the entry-post. Is it a fault of my network or did you move the files to another server?
Can you give me an alternate adress?
I can't post in the developer forms.
THX a LOT
PS: Just another little Q i didn't find an answer:
Must a system be installed on the device, to flash a new ROM with an RUU executive? Or will it work too if the Desire in Bootmenu, only?
Hi,
I Didn't need to activate a2sd before installing rom.
I use Cyanogenmod, but i thing it should work on stock rom too.
Search for “darktremor“.

Have you installed a2sd addon from Teppic's thread?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
No, I hadn't install the ap2sd from teppic yet, because the downlink seems to be broken too.
But, it doesn't matter. I want to wipe my phone, because of other (i hope) software errors I had on phone since a long time.
For example the international storage have after install the GB update from 2.2 to 2.3 only ~110 to 120 MB free. This can't be right, can it?
So, now I want to try to do a new installation with min 3 wipes/ factory reset before.
This is why the question is: can I install a RUU file over USB, when there is not longer a system on phone? I think I have to make it from Cmw-Recovery with an zip?
So, my greatest wish is. Please give me a funktional downlink to the system of teppic!
Thanks so far!
Edit: now I realized the post from conch
UPDATE:
Plugged in a new 8GB µSD (C4) and partition it with CWM-Recovery to 1024MB ext and 256MB Swap.
This should be enough
Now coming up a new Question. What is the ext-part now of format? ext-2/3/4? I don't have seen any option to change this in recovery? Is the AmonRa better with this? I read, there you can have a format of your choice.
So, now I only have to get the rom of teppic
EDIT: New thinking way...
1. Can the errors be solved by a damaged kernel? The ROM's dosn't inklude Kernel, does it?
How can completely change/erase the Kernel and flash a new one? Like the Same as flash an ROM or Radio?
2. When i flash an lower ROM (2.1/2.2) coming from a newer/higher (like 2.3.3 with Radio_5.17.xx) do i have to change the Radio too? Maybe for an 2.2 the 5.11.xx? Or will 2.2.x & 2.1 also work with an higher Radio (like 5.17.xx)
Thanks a lot!

I had now installed the Stock GB Rom. From the official developer update RUU.
A few wipes, before install, seems to be cleaned my system. No I have ~125MB free space on phone!
I installed the CWMR 5.0 again and also the SU 3.x from teppic. Everything looks fine and working.
Just again the same little problem that the diskspace for my apps will be totaly full soon... What did the think about this little storage??? Arrrgglll!
Before installing ROM i changed the partition on SD to 1024MB ext-3 without swap.
And noew I have installed the ap2sd from teppic74 too. In recovery, everything looks fine. The install-procedure runs to end and show no errors.
But I still have 125MB and can't find any ap2sd app or something
Do i have to mount the ext-3 in any way, or did I miss something other?
Best regards and many thanks to all the people answered me! And not much less all the people who created this forum!
1) a2sd is not an app but a script. Besides ls I don't think there is a way except observing how your /data partition behaves. Frankly, I think adb is little over your head now. If not, search Droidzone's guide.
2) exactly what are you doing? You have a ruu installed now and you flash a2sd over it, or you installed Teppic's ROM?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
Exactly I installed the developer RUU. Then flash it over adb with the ClockworkMod-Recovery and than install the v3.x SU from teppic with flashing from CWMR. Make new boot to check if SU works. Seems to be fine.
Then installed the ap2sd, from teppic, again with CWMR. Looks fine. But I don't think it was success. Because I've seen a screenshot in another thread, from an HTC desire, where you can see, the phone storage is more than 1GB. But I don't find this post again:/
Now I go on, first install the "Rom Manager".
So pls my friends tell me what I did wrong. Because the great internal storage with ap2sd+ was the main reason to make my phone root.

A2sd+ doesn't change the reported internal memory. That screen shot is from something else. I have a root memory faq in my signature which will explain how it works

Trickdroid help

i switched from mimicry to trickdroid recently and i cant get past the white htc screen. i already posted about this and ive been getting help but i noticed that it was in a ONE S section and so im guessing theres going to be some problems later. anyway, i already flashed boot.img and everything. nothing seems to work. my phones been turning off randomly lately as well. what should i do? un-root and re-root? or flash the PC10IMG.zip? any help would be appreciated. i dont NEED trickdroid but i hear its one of the best right now. i loved mimicry but the battery would go from 100 to 20, back up to 60? something was off.
Problem flashing trickdroid may be you have the wrong bootloader, you will need the desire z one as it has a larger system partition required for that ROM. You shouldn't need to fastboot flash a kernel unless you used the HTC dev bootloader method to gain root. If you rooted properly with gfree than you can just flash the new bootloader via fastboot, see here for more details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27796375
If you want see post 30 in that thread for a pc10img.zip that may be easier for you but fastboot is always safer.
As for the issues with the battery I doubt its mimicry, and I also doubt you will have a faster phone with trick droid, maybe prettier if you want sense though.

i have a g2, so should i flash the desire one through fastboot. because the link in post 30 has one that has g2 and DZ. i have a tmobile g2.
my phone has been running on andromadus audacity beta 5 since this morning without any problems. i havent been doing backups because i dont have anything valuable on the phone yet.

Okay so i switched my hboot to the DZ one and its working! i just have one more question, i had to partition my sd card and enable swap to make it run smoother. so i did that, flashed cwm, went to partition sd, 128, 256, and it was done. then i noticed everything on my sd card was gone and new folders appeared. it seemed more organized but everything was gone. was this supposed to happen?
Yeah that will happen, think of a format as a super wipe. If you use 4ext recovery you may be able to add/change swap or ext partition but always backup first

okay, thank you so much. you actually got it to work for me. now im having trouble with the tweaks haha. i dont really need tweaks anyways. at first i flashed the tweaks and it got stuck at the htc desire HD screen. so i superwiped, and flashed the trickdroid rom again. do i have to partition sd and run swap_enabler script again? or will i never have to run it again because i already did it once.
Don't need to repartition sd card, it will stay as is untill you reformat it. I don't use trick droid but if it doesn't have swap built in by defult you need to run the enable script at any reflash
