[Q] Complete Wipe

Hi guys and gals.
Right, i have tried a few Roms, and been having minor issues on them, i want to do a complete wipe, and load the Rom freshly, before I report any problems to the dev.
I am currently on AuraxTSense, I have unRevoked, and before i installed this Rom, i did a factory reset, wipe dalvik, and personal data. Anything else i can do ?
Is this the best wiping I can do, or is there any more ?
Thanks

Well as the rom(AuraxtSense) is using a2sd+ do you have an ext-partition? In that case, in order to try a full wipe, you should do the following in the mentioned order when in recovery:
- make nandroid backup(in case anything goes wrong)
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe data
- wipe sd-ext
- flash rom zip file
- flash correct radio(if you haven't already done this)
BTW. i'm running AuraxtSense 7.6.1 without any problems at all

Ok I do have SD partitioned, and it was still giving me random reboots, i am back on leedroids latest now, and i will see how that goes, if its still doing the same i will try upit suggestions.
anohter question, if i format the sd card, is it still a ' goldcard ' or do i have to do the process over again?

I believe a goldcard doesnt loose its feature even on formatting ?
"once a goldcard, always a goldcard " ?
BTW whats wiping "cache partition" ?
before flashing each new rom with ap2sd+ do we have to format the sd card and partition it all over again ?
thanks

[Q] HTC Desire Freezing on Startup (HTC Logo)

Hi everyone !
I have a little issue with my HTC Desire, i've been trying to install APP2SD after i rooted it but something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the initial HTC Logo ! I still have access to HBoot and Clockwork Recovery ! I guess I should flash my phone again with the generic rom but I have no idea about how to do that ! Can you please help me ??

There is probably a easier fix.
What rom are you on now and how did you try to install APP2SD?

I am on the latest stock rom !
I used r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip on a Goldcard but i was unable to repartition my sd card using clockwork mod ... and now my phone won't start !

No idea what the zip exactly does but try wiping dalvik cache in recovery (under advanced). If that doesn't work, install Leedroid NoA2SD with a full wipe to get your phone booting again or partition your sd card with Gparted and then install Leedroid A2SD (or any other rom you like).

Can you help me out with a full reset ??
I was so stay on a stock rom ! I am currently downloading this one
First it says to partition the SD card, should I partition my normal SD Card of the Goldcard (and how to do that??), also, should i put the .zip file of the rom on the regular SD card or the gold card for the flash ??
Really thank you for you answers !

To do a full reset, boot in to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and cache. You can try rebooting after this but i don't think it will work.
To install a new rom:
Create the ext partition (i would do it on the normal card, don't know how goldcards are affected by partitioning). Use Gparted to partition, there should be enough info on how to do that if you search. Also copy all the stuff you want to keep to your pc before partitioning.
Copy your stuff and the rom back to the partition sd (fat partition)
Boot in to recovery
Wipe data/factory reset and cache
Install zip from sd
Wait and reboot.

It seems to be working fine ! Thanks a lot !
Another question and please sorry if I sound stupid ... but do I have to flash a new radio ? for now it seems like i'm receiving GSM network !

[Q] Revolutionary - Flashed - now boot problems

Hello
I've gone through Revolutionary to free my Desire from the shackles of Orange/T Mobile and HTC's software.
Everything worked fine at first. I got the Revolutionary recovery running, then flashed Cyanogenmod 7.
Cyanogenmod 7 was great, but it kept crashign when I tried opening the Cyanogenmod Settings.
I opened recovery, wiped everything clean and tried to re-flash it again.
It reflashed, but said it did not see an SD-Ext, but went through to the boot screen....
but the boot screen just kept looping over and over.....so I repeated the options listed above and flashed the MIUI Rom and again the boot screen keeps looping.
I went back into Revolutionary Recovery and now the options keep bringing me back to a black screen showing the word Revolutionary..... but wont let me flash again.
I'm stumped and could really use some advice on what to do next.
Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.

Another try - same problem
I went back into Revolutionary recovery and restored the backup (nandroid) and rebooted - this time it went back to Cyanogenmod 7's boot screen and the animation seems to be stuck on a loop.
- The blue android character skates over, the blue animated arrow-sircle spins around him and the Cyanogen logo - then it restarts the animation back to the skating android......again ......again....again....
Someone please help!!
Thanks

Did u flashed even the a2sd script? Did u have an ext partition?
Try a clean installation..Wipe data, cache, dalvik and under mounts and storage format also system and sd-ext(if u have the ext)...Then flash cm7, gapps and a2sd script (if u have the ext, following the instruction on cm7 thread)

I downloaded the Cyanogenmod 7 zip from the main site. As I just did as you suggested the following showed:
- wiping data -
formatting / data ...
formatting / cache ...
formatting / sd-ext ...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
formatting /sd card/android_secure...
Data wipe complete
- wiping cache -
formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
Formatting /sd-ext...
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of sd/ext.
Done.
Dalvik Cache wiped.
Where do I find the sd-ext or create an app2sd partition?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

As far as I know, one cannot partition its sd card with ckockworkmod recovery. You have to do it with gparted.
After creating the ext partition, don't forget to flash the a2sd patch from cyanogenmod thread here on xda.

The sd-ext partition is not striclty required..the rom work also with no ext..
Flash the cm zip again and the gapps, and it should boot..
later, if u need more space, u can create an sd-ext partition for app2sd...search some guide about it..even if u can simply partition ur sd card with the recovery (cwm 3.x only i think or amon ra), but u need to do a backup on ur pc of ur sdcard content, as the partitioning from the recovery will format ur sd card completely..after partioned and restored the content on ur sd card, u can flash the a2sd script on the cm 7 niglhtly thread and u are ok

Yep, it's more recommend to flash cm7 hboot instead of creating an ext partition.

I think he has used Revolutionary. It is possible to partition the SD card with Clockworkmod recovery. Even I did the same. May be you need to change the stock hboot to CM7r2 hboot partition table

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
it will explain how to make an ext partition

Thank you all for replying. I've got everything running sweet with cyanogenmod 7 and ext partition due to your help.

[Q] cant find Ultimate HD in CWM

Hello,
I have a lill Problem, yesterday i saw the new version of Ulitmate HD, so i thought i give it a try, i made my backups and stuff, placed the update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0 on my SD-Card and booted into CWM.
did the following steps
wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount and storage -> format /system
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
- advanced -> wipe battery stats
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and tried to install the FILE, mhh no file with the name update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0 on my SD card, or at least its not showing up in CWM, there was just a file update.zip. i thought maybe thats the ROM file so i tried to use it,
but it didnt work i get an error
E: Cant mount /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
soo i flashed the stock ROM again 4.1.B.1.13, rooted my phone again, xparts for cwm, downloaded Ulitmate HD again, and copied it on my SD Card..
Same Error again, i can only see the update.zip file in CWM not the update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0.
what is the problem ? did i miss sth ? it worked without any problems with the old ultimate version.
thx for the help

Sorry for the trouble, i just renamed the file to update.zip and it is working,
amazing ROM :good:

Unable to install Rom!

Hello everyone,
I am new here on Desire,
So I S-OFFed my desire,Flashed Custom CWM recovery,
My problem is,
Everytime i try to install a custom ROM,it shows me an error as "Installation aborted : status 0"..i tried to wipe /data,/system/cache,doing factory reset etc.none of them they helps.it always shows me this error.any solution?

Do the ROMs you are trying to install require an sdcard partition. Most do, and you'll need one anyway to install several apps.
- Flash 4EXT recovery.img using fastboot (better recovery, makes good partitions for desire unlike CWM)
- Backup and partition your sdcard using 4EXT recovery (max 2GB ext4 partition, no swap)
- Check md5sum of ROM.zip, to make sure you didnt get a bad download
- Full wipe and flash ROM.zip

Yh so like eddie said u will need to partition ur sdcard for that rom. Theres a good guide in desire general "how to partition sdcard correctly" follow that guide and then u can flash roms. The reason is that the desire has bad/low memory so the sdext partition is needed, definitly for sense roms.
