[JAN 25][ROM-ZIP]Stock Desire HD on EU HD2 [A2SD+][CWM][RMNET/PPP][Kernel:MDJ,Gauner]

Hi all,
This is not squashed ROM for EU HD2 which contains all files from the stock RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed. Yes of course some executables(akmd, reboot, vold), some libraries, some config files and kernel were replaced for Leo. The reason of why I do this is my wish to have Desire HD ROM on my EU HD2 which is closest to stock.
The ROM size is about 407M. I do not like squashed ROMs. We all have sdcards and I do not see any sense to make squashed ROM. Therefore this build uses the second partition of sdcard to store dalvik cache, data, system apps, framework. So size of this rom in NAND is 391Mb, and in sdcard is 16Mb. I recommend you to use 1024MB second partition, but not less.
My CWM installation script mounts the second partition of sdcard to /data, creates sysfiles directory and copies /system/etc/clockwidget, and /system/etc/slideshow and /system/etc/soundimage to this second partition into /data/sysfiles directory. After that the script creates symbolic links to these three directories in /system/etc direcory, and copies all other files of ROM to system partition in NAND. So we have 391Mb of files in NAND, and 16Mb of files in the second partition of sdcard.
The kernel mounts the second partition of sdcard to /data before the init.rc script will be run. Therefore android use this partition as internal storage, and we see free space of this partition as free phone storage in info.
The content:
- Full stock Desire HD RUU 1.72.405.3
- Last Gauner's kernel.
- Fixed mms.
- Fixed WiFi MAC.
- Fixed su.
- Fixed sql lib.
- Fixed first and external partition mounting.
- Percent battery.
- Rmnet is ON by default, if you would like to enable ppp you should create ppp file in /system directory and reboot your phone. To create the ppp file you should connect your phone to PC and run this command in a terminal:
adb shell touch /system/ppp
You should delete this file and reboot your phone if you would like to enable rmnet again:
adb shell rm -f /system/ppp
Not worked:
- 720p recording
- bluetooth MAC
Removed apps:
- Ereader. Use the attached archive if you would like to use ereader. Install it by CWM.
Link to ereader
"How to install" is in the readme file of the build. Please, read it! This ROM is only flashable using ClockworkMod. CWM v 1.2 is included into archive of this build. Note, system partition in NAND should be 399Mb.
CWM v 1.2 fix:
If you would like to use CWM backup and restore you should replace CWM initrd.gz file on this file. I fixed CWM to soppurting partition layout without userdata partition..
Update the previous version ROM:
If you would like to update the previous version you should not touch your sdcard. You should do this only: format NAND by task29, install magldr, flash new CWM partition layout, install new ROM.
Recommendations:
- I recommend to format NAND by task29 before install this ROM. After formatting will be done you should install magldr again. All tools are included into the archive.
- I recommend to calibrate G-Sensor. To do it go to Seetings->Display->G_Sensor calibration->, place your phone FACE-DOWN on level surface, press Calibrate button. After calibration will be finished press Ok button.
- If you would like to use the "backup second partition" feature in CWM, the second partition should be labeled as sd-ext.
- Sometimes magldr does copying of data with errors(lost data) in the "USB MassStg" mode, but you do not see these errors. Next you can see that the ROM installation was finished shortly. If it happens you should look into CWM log and you will see some errors of files extraction from archive. If you will copy this archive to sdcard again, but only by CWM or by other cardreader, you will not see these errors in CWM log. Therefore I recommend you to copy ROM zip to sdcard by CWM or by other cardreader.
- To get a CWM log you should do this:
a) Install the ROM
b) After the installation will be completed you should not reboot your phone! Go to "advanced" item of CWM menu.
c) Next select "Report Error" item. CWM will create the clockworkmod directory in root of sdcard.
d) Next copy the recovery.log file from the clockworkmod directory and attach this file to the thread. I will check it.
- The first loading(from the phone rebooting moment to appearance of the language choice screen) is long. Be patient, please.
- Please, setup only that you really need during the first boot. Desire ROM is syncing and configuring a lot of stuff during first boot if you have entered your google account. I recommend to setup all needed accounts after initial setup. And, please, let system sync and configure all stuff, next reboot your phone. After this work will be completed the ROM will be fast. I recommend:
a) disable the sync of accounts which are no needed for you, or change "Update schedule" of these accounts.
b) disable the "Back up my setting" for google account if it is no needed for you.
c) disable Automatic brightness and set Brightness to min value.
- Note, please, you can use CifsManager to mount cifs(samba(ms windows))/nfs network resources to your phone. This tool is available in the Market. It allows you to play music or watch movies from any shared resources which are available in your local network without copying this content to your phone. To use it your phone should be connected to local network by WiFi.
Currently I have 2Gb ext4 second partition on my Transcend 6-class sdcard. I can tell the system works properly and fast:

Performance:

Download:
EFP v.2 HD2 Desire HD stock (last Gauner's kernel)
Kernels: (only if you would like to replace a kernel of your already installed ROM to other kernel)
Gauner's kernel with ext4
MDJ's 10.3 kernel
MDJ's 10.4OC kernel
Updates:
Desire HD stock toolbar
Desire HD custom toolbar with percent battery
How to install kernels, updates or fixs:
1. You should have already ClockworkMod(zImage and initrd.gz) on sdcard. If you use ROM-ZIP builds I think you have it already.
2. Copy the update.zip file from an update or a fixs archive to sdcard root.
3. Reboot your phone, hold Power button to access the magldr menu.
4. Next select the "Boot AD SD" item. ClockworkMod will be loaded and you will see ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
5. Select the "apply update from sdcard" item.
6. Select "Yes".
7. After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item.

what working and not working ???

It would be nice to have the readme of each build at least posted in the first post, so we don't have to download everything to see if we need it
I am always looking for a PURE/Stock Desire HD build, with no frils and no EXTRA apps, for a TMOUS HD2. But with no readme , i'll wait for someone first.
Greetings Santroph

Did it Include CM Mod setting?

Ok, thats what I get for beeing unpacient, downloaded it, before even reading the thread hehehe
So it is what it says, only CWM versions of the sayd rom....
I don't need it synce I don;t use CWM, but, some people might like it. Thanks anyway.
Greetings Santroph.

Wel he did say that in the very first line of his post
But Until I get some sort of details on the builds and whats in it and whats not, I'll download MDJ's and let it sit on my sd card, cause I found CWM yesterday, and personally love it, especially with being able to take most NAND roms and convert them to CWM makes it ideal.

mms, volume, hd video???????

after i unlock phone its stuck at the htc logo
i have ext2 partition already
and i flashed the required partition size!

From the "How to instal" in readme file:
...Copy the CwMRec directory from the 2_step directory to root of sdcard.
After copying will be finished disconnect USB cable.
Go to "Services->BootSettings->AD SD Dir" in the magldr menu and select the CWMREC directory....
1. Perhaps you forgot to disconnect a USB cable safely.
2. You copied the content of the CwMRec directory to root of sdcard, but not the CwMRec directory. In this case the CwMRec directory not exists on sdcard, the zImage and initrd.gz files are placed in root of sdcard. You should skip the step of selecting directory for boot from SD or select the <.> .

This is a2sd+.
In case of A2SD the internal storage does not include external partition, you will see only size of free space in NAND. But in case A2SD+ you will see free space of the external partition as size of intrenal storage.

I am using Gauner's kernel build currently and I do not have any issues with root.

something is awfully wrong
the gauner version keeps giving me a bootloop

I think you forgot to disconnect a USB cable safely. Or you copied the content of the CwMRec directory to root of sdcard, but not the CwMRec directory.

[03.MAR.11][CWM] RAFDROID HD 3.2.1 LIGHT SQ | FULL DESHD ON EU HD2[Kern:Rfp 1.7 OC]

}
3.2.1
This build is the exact copy of my RAFDROID HD EXT
the difference is that some parts of the system are "squashed" to give you the possibility to NOT USE any Ext partition for data.
I dont like squashedfs, but someone requested an hd build with some free space on nand (about 50mb) because some one not install a lot of apps and prefer to not use sd ext partition.
This build is mainly for EU HD2 (512mb) users.
If you are an HD 1024mb user really you dont need this, and you can use my main HD build
FEATURES
All the main features of RAFDROID HD EXT plus:
- odexed back to save dalvik cache space
- free user space after first boot: 101mb
- App2SD enabled if you use and SD with an EXT partition
CHANGELOG
Code:
3.2.1 - 3 MAR 11
Fixed Market FC
3.2- 3 MAR11
Some improvements and fixes to radio/audio driver,
this "should" fix phone freeze in some setups, also if I was not able to replicate the issues
Tweaked for more battery life on some sd cards usage
Updated hosts file with last one
3.1 - Initial release
=== INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (CWR) - NEW USERS WITHOUT CWR INSTALLED OR WITH CWR BUT USING ANOTHER ROM ===
This process will erase everything on your nand. So, if you are already using a previous rom, backup everything!
Download PANASONIC SD FORMATTER and use it to format your card with FULL ERASE
You need to flash MAGDLR 1.13
You need to flash, via USB FLASHER magdlr option, this recovery partition layout, otherwise the build will not boot.
Download the FULL RAFDROID PACKAGE and copy the entire zip (not extracted!) on the SD CARD root.
Put the SD CARD in your phone and power it on and go in the MAGDLR menu (hold the power key while powering up)
Select BOOT AD RECOVERY
Click on INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD and then CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD
Select the FULL_RAFDROID_HD*******.zip that you downloaded before.
Select "Yes - Install........" and wait for installation then Go back with power button and select REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
First boot can take up to 20 minutes. If you are stuck on white screen with HTC logo just wait. If you hear boot sound more than one time, you had a bootlop and something has gone wrong. Delete everything, reformat your SD card, read again the instructions and try again.
When you see the lockscreen, give at least 5 minutes to settle. Then do all your settings and then reboot again
Enjoy.
Remember: if you want to avoid Data Corruption always choose SHUT OFF and not reboot!
=== INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (CWR) - UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RAFDROID VERSION (2.2 or greater) WITH ALREADY CWR INSTALLED===
Since the data storage method is different, you cannot upgrade from a different RAFDROID HD version. You have to install fresh. Anyway you will keep your data and apps installed.
============ CONFIG.TXT ============Used some ideas and code bits from Dandiest's init script.
You can create a config.txt file on the root of your sdcard to configure some things at boot.
Actually you can configure the following options
gps_zone=[your country]
check http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ for country codes (example: it for italy, us for usa.. and so on...)
ppp_mode=[1 or 0]
1 to enable PPP
0 to enable RMNET.
Default is 0
If wince=1 default ppp_mode will be 1
old_light_driver=[1 or 0]
0 to use the new light driver (working notification leds, button backlight control)
1 to use the old light driver (no notifications leds, buttons will go off after 10 seconds)
default is 0
auto_btn_backlight=[1 or 0]
1 to have the buttons backlight going off/on with the screen
0 to have the buttons backlight going off after 10 seconds from when the last button is pressed
default is 1
this work only if old_light_driver=0
wifi_mac_change=[1 or 0]
1 tells the system that you will need to change the wifi mac address to a custom one
0 tells the system that you will use the wifi mac address based on device hardware
custom_wifi_mac=yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy
here you have to write the wifi mac address you want.
This is needed, and will work, only if you specify wifi_mac_change=1
If you not write any mac address here, the default 00:11:22:33:44:55 will be used
Just an example on how a file could look:
Code:
gps_zone=it
ppp_mode=0
old_light_driver=0
auto_btn_backlight=1
The init script will also create an init.log file on your sd card at every boot. This will help you and me with debugging if something not works fine. If you have issues please always post your init.log file when reporting your problem.​
============ KERNEL ============
You can refer to my kernel thread for updates, changelog, and comments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940823
​============ SQUASHED FILE SYSTEM ============
App, Framework and most of Lib folders, are squashed.
Anyway you can push or delete any file from those folder because any file is simlinked.
Example: if you want to use a different framework-res.apk, you can copy it in the /system/framework folder. At this point the simlink will be removed and your new file will be stored on nand, not in the squashed filesystem. This means that more "new files" you push in the squashed folders, less nand space you will have.
Anyway please note that I left only about 13mb free on "system". This means you will not able to push more then 13mb files. If you like to change a lot of things.. this build and squashfs is not for you.
============ DOWNLOADS ============
You need to flash, via USB FLASHER magdlr option, this recovery partition layout, otherwise the build will not boot.

FAQ
Q: I have low quadrant score
A: This is normal. Nand is slower. Anyway during day usage you shold not notice big difference
Q: I have small freeze when installing apps
A: This happens with all Desire HD builds. I can't do nothing to avoid this
Q: I'm using App2SD but my internal memory keep decreasing at any app installed
A: Go in the application management and move the installed abb back in the phone. Some apps anyway keep some datas in internal mem.
Q: My phone sometimes freeze and I have to reboot.
A: Go in Settings -> Audio -> disable audible touch tones. this will solve the issue in most of the cases.
Q: Can you provide a different link or a mirror different from hotfile?
A: I'm sorry but the answer is "no". I pay hotfile every month and the downloads give me the possibility to pay it. I dont do this for money, but I also dont want to waste my money
Q: During/after boot a window appears with "System process not respoding". What I have to do?
A: This is caused from the new audio driver I used. The new audio driver has better phone stability and no robo voice. You have two choices: 1) Click on "wait" and all will be fine OR 2) download the "old_acdb_file.zip" and flash it via recovery. In this way you will not have the error anymore but you will start having robo voice on first call (you can avoid this disabling audible touch tones) and could happen that your phone freezes when receiving a call. It's your choiche. I preferred the "window error" one because for me is more important to have a working phone than an error window appearing at boot.
Q: I have robo voice when I make a call
A: To avoid this, disable "audible touch tones" from the "settings -> audio" menu. You will have no-more robo voice also if you reboot.
a) During the robo-voice call, enable the speaker, then disable it. You will have no more robo-voice until next reboot.
Q: I have very low audio during calls
A: During the call, enable the speaker, then disable it. You will have loud volume until next reboot.
Q: after boot I see only a white screen with a green htc logo
A: just wait. It can take fro 5 up to 20 minutes depending on your sd card. There are no issue. The build booted fine, it's just copying all the files to SD. This will happen only on first installation.
Q: I'm having high battery drain
A: Try reboot. Try disabling gps in location. As you can see from the screenshot I have 4mA with WIFI active! Also be careful. If during google account setup you choose to backup/restore all your data, the sync process will be dramatic heavy because it has to reinstall all your apps. It could need a couple of hours to settle. Also high battery drain could be caused by SD. try another one.
Q: It's really laggy!!!!
A: as all Desire HD builds this is BIG! This needs at least 10-15 minutes after boot to be usable. Then try to use it for 5-6 hours.. and do a couple of reboots.. you will see that the speed will improve. After 24 hours of use and 4-5 rebots this will be really fast.
Q: I have no GPS or the fix is really slow
A: Firs fixt can take up to 5 minutes. just wait.You can edit the config.txt gps_zone= to your country. See here for the right strings http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ if this not solves, try use QuickGps from the market to download a-gps data.
Q: It not boots
A: partition again and format again your sd card. follow the guide linked in the first post. post your init.log. check that you flashed the custom recovery linked in the instructions.
Q: I have no data/3G/HSDPA
A: probably you have to set your apn manually. google it for tips on how to do and what settings are need for your carrier
Q: How do I remove BOOTSOUND / How do I change bootanim
A: bootsound and bootanim are located in /system/customize/resource
Just delete android_audio.mp3 if you dont want sound
Q: I have wake up lag
A: It's an issue that devs are trying to solve. It's not related to the build itself. In the Q&A Forum there is a thread about this problem.
Q: My screen stays off after call
a) Maybe this can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946012 ATM very few people have this issue, so I wonder is related to sd card.
Q: My contacts pictures are low res after sync!
A: this is a google problem, read here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4147
Q: I have random reboots
A: Seems to be related to your phone, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941845 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898804

Hello Raf thank you very much for giving us this opportunity, just wondering which files should we use to revert back to stock framework and standard fonts and how to install them.
Thanks again for all your efforts

I always had problem with data on ext partition due to easy file corruption, so I'm trying this...thanks!

[GUIDE] How to Have 750 MB Internal Menory in SGY (dualboot mod)

WARNING: THIS MOD IS INTENDED FOR ADVANCED USER
this mod is difficult to applied. for an easier method, you can use my guide here about increasing internal memory without dualboot kernel. if you want a NEW-BETTER-FASTER-BUGLESS method to save your internal memory, you can use my akuro mod in this thread
anyway, this is only one of dualboot implementation based on irfanbagus's work. I actually doing this for fun. this mod is actually intended for rom development for any rom dev who want to develop a custom rom without a risk got a bootloop in his device. please feel free to discuss all stuff about dualboot mod or how to enhance it but don't ask about how to install it on your device. if you don't know how to install it, it means this mod doesn't suitable for you. don't worry. there's a lot of alternative method to save your internal memory space as I've stated above.
let's get straight on how we do this. first of all, in this mod the second ROM will installed on sdcard with modified partition size. we'll make bigger partition on data and system partition. please look into the picture below.

make 4 partition on your sdcard. all partition is primary. my recommended setting for all partition is. 6gb fat32 on first partition, 300mb ext3 on 2nd partition, 300mb ext3 for 3rd partition, and the rest ext3 for 4th partition. you can modify the the 1st and 4th size but don't change the 2nd and 3rd partition size.
2. >>>install irfan's dualboot kernel<<<
feel free to use any method to install the kernel. you can use mai77's, faqbly's method or odin to install the kernel.
3. >>>ROM preparation<<<
extract your custom rom. replace meta-inf folder with the one I've give to you. this script will install your rom to your sdcard partition. re-zip the rom, then copy it to your formatted sdcard (in the 1st partition of course). if these script didn't work check irfan's original post for detailed guide on modifying installer script here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598803
4. >>>dual boot setting and ROM installation<<<
create a blank file in sdcard named 'bootsdcard' then go to recovery mode. install your custom rom. wait till it finished then reboot. the first installation will take a longer than the usual. be patient.
finish. enjoy your 2nd rom with larger /data and /system partition
========
there are several possibilities on installing the new rom. in most cases, it have succesfully installed the rom (I've got no report on installation failure till this moment). but if the rom doesn't work, you'll need to modify the rom and the installer script.
DISCLAIMER:
1. DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
2. the succession rate is depend on your custom rom and your sdcard quality. do your best to modify it.
3. don't use a2sd or link2sd
4. don't install the app on sdcard when you use the 2nd rom.
5. it will get laggy if your sdcard is not fast enough. you'll need a faster one.
6. this mood will make your battery drains faster. please be cautious.

wow 750 internal mem?!!!!

seems like i need to buy a new sd card

what will happen
if my android in dualboot rom and active usb storage mode?

you can use usb storage mode just like as you use your first rom.

It is true. How make more free space?

1st partition, fat32, is used for regular use (store photos, music, etc)
2nd partition is system partition
3rd partition is cache partition
4th partition is data partition
you can increase the size of 4th partition to have larger size of data partition.

Plz give me repencics 3 modded meta-inf.zip file.

this mod need more complex step because of dual boot. you not only get bigger (or smaller, it is resizeable) internal storage, but you also got 2 different rom in one phone that you can select which one is active with easy way (no need re-flashing) and both working independent (no share data, apps, account). it's mix of data2sd, system2sd, and cache2sd.
in this case, kurotsugi want to make use data2sd capabilities.

No no it is working. But plz give me a solution, when i want to flash another rom by your process then what to do? Before flashing i have to do again flash the kernel and then format ext partition? I am using ddla1 firmware. When i install the dual boot kernel by odin or cwm method it getting boot loops.

before you install another 2nd rom you should reformat (or simply delete all files) in sdcard's data partition (the 4th partition). you don't need to install the kernel again.

Where i FOUND the files? I have MODIFIED REPENCIS ROM AND FLASHED. IT DOES NOT BOOTED. ONLY THE SCREEN STAY "GALAXY Y YOUNG GT-S5360" PLZ GIVE ME THE META-INF. ZIP FOR REPENCICS
In this pic there have in meta-INF folder of REPENCICS have some files. Which files in have to replace?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk

You said that my script is working, so I assume that you have already installed a 2nd rom (I think its repencis v3) and its working. now, you want to install another 2nd rom (a modified repencis v3) in your sdcard. am I right?
if you want to install another 2nd rom, please follow this guide:
1. reformat your 4th partition.
2. extract your rom.
3. replace folder meta-inf with the one from me.
4. rezip your file, put in your sdcard.
5. make bootsdcard file in your sdcard's root.
6. enter recovery mode.
7. install your rom, reboot
in any case if this guide didn't work, the probem may comes from your modification. I don't know what you've done to modify it but I think your modification makes the rom didn't work.

[TUTORIAL][Marvel/MarvelC] INT2EXT(+) (Stock + Custom ROM supported)

Hi everyone. This is my first (compilation) tutorial that I decided to make after reading a lot of tuts and not having them work for me until last night. Just to clarify, I'm running a MarvelC Wildfire S on a Sense-based ROM. Here are the steps to prep your phone for INT2EXT based off of multiple tutorials. Also, if you're on a stock/stock-based ROM, I recommend doing a factory reset of your phone before following these steps just to keep things clean.
In order to use INT2EXT, your phone must have:
1. d.init support
2. ext2/3/4 support
It must also be permanently rooted.
Credits: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459
Step 1: Preparing your SD card
Important Notes:
N1. If you are running a stock or stock-based ROM (i.e. using a stock kernel), your ROM only supports FAT32 and Ext2 for the second partition. DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SECOND PARTITION TO EXT4.
N2. You must be rooted (tutorial not included - plenty of working tutorials in this section).
N3. Do not mount your phone to follow these steps; use a microSD card reader.
Tools:
- Computer
- MicroSD adapter/reader
- Minitool Partition Pro Home Edition (http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html)
Make sure you read the important notes above before proceeding. If you have, proceed:
1. Boot up Windows.
2. Insert your MicroSD card into the adapter and attach the adapter to your computer.
3. Make a folder on your computer to back up the contents of your SD card.
4. Install Minitool Partition Pro Home Edition.
5. Run the Partition Wizard.
6. Look for your SD card along the bottom and find the FAT32 partition.
7. Right-click it and choose "Move/Resize Partition."
8. Change the value of the partition size until your "unallocated/free space" is around 750 - 1000 MB (this is how much internal memory I recommend)
9. Click OK.
10. Find the unallocated space on the new drive map, right-click on it, and click "Create."
11. Click "Yes" on the warning that pops up.
12. Choose Ext2, Ext3, or Ext4. Stock/stock-based ROM users, choose Ext2. I recommend Ext2 just to be safe for all other ROM users, in case your kernel doesn't support it. If you know for sure that your ROM supports Ext4, then Ext4 is fine as well.
13. Make sure it is a Primary Partition, not Logical.
14. Click OK.
15. Click the Apply button on the top left corner of the window.
16. Choose "Yes" to continue.
Let it finish. Then, step 1 is complete.
Credits: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
Step 2: Adding init.d Support
Tools:
- BusyBox app (make sure you use the normal install, NOT smart install)
- Terminal Emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm)
- Term-init from Ryuinferno (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426791)
1. Download Term-init.
2. Install BusyBox from Google Market/Play Store.
3. Install Terminal Emulator from Google Market/Play Store.
4. Place Term-init at the root of your SD card.
5. Launch Terminal Emulator.
6. Type: su
7. Grant SuperUser access if prompted.
8. Type: sh/sdcard/term-init.sh
9. Follow the on-screen instructions from the script that is run.
To check if it worked, reboot your phone twice and browse to your /data/ folder (using an app such as Root Browser or ES File Explorer). If it's working, you should find a Test.log in there. Congratulations, you now have init.d support and you're ready to set up INT2EXT.
Credits: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
Step 3: Flashing INT2EXT(+)
Requirements:
- init.d support
- sd-ext partition (ext2/3/4)
- 100 MB of internal memory for every 500 MB of external memory
Tools (choose ONE):
- INT2EXT: http://d-h.st/Fvz
- INT2EXT+ (recommended): http://d-h.st/Otj
NOTE: If you already have a A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT/M2SD script, you will need to remove it completely.
1. Download your chosen script above.
2. Place it at the root of your SD card.
3. Reboot into CWM (Recovery).
4. Select "Install zip from sd card"
5. Select "Choose zip from sd card"
6. Select "CronMod-****_signed"
7. Let the script run.
8. Select "Mounts and Storage" directory.
9. Select "format/sd-ext"
10. Reboot.
You should have INT2EXT on your system now (check your internal memory to make sure). If you have any problems or questions, look in the threads given at the credits before asking here. Also, here are a few other great tutorials on flashing INT2EXT if you can't get it to work following mine:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223190
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490607

A friend of mine has the Wildfire S and asked me to do something about the low storage. I will try this tutorial in a few days and I hope it will work It seems harder to do INT2EXT on that phone than it is on my old Desire ^^
Thank you!

It's not working for me. I ha a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i running Ace-I-Sure 12.0 ROM. Can you help me to finally extend the internal memory? Pleease!

I guess no problem with the init.d script? Because I already make it work in terminal. This command is just to run the term-init.sh.
And i made it worked already.
The problem is with the script i guess. I read here in comments someone also complains about status 0 error.

Thanks for the tutorial!
I know this is an old thread. But I had to resurrect my wife's old HTC WFS to use while one of our phones needed to be repaired. I couldn't find a good stable ROM to run. Ran through your tutorial and it was just fine.
I did run into a "System UIDs Inconsistent" error after the last step and ended up doing a factory reset and all was well! Tried a few other steps before that like "fix permissions" and clearing caches etc. but in the end needed a full factory reset.
Great job! Love that we can got back to these threads!
Thanks thanks thanks!

Stuck in bootloop after doing the term-init.sh

Problem with buttons and wifi
This trick works for me great, but my hardware buttons (home, context-menu, back and search) are not working good. Also my wifi cant find any network. Can someone help me with these issues please ?

I found the most easiest way, no need to make unit.d by yourself.
So here the step
1. Flash this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143410
2. Make SD card partition ext 2 with your CWM recovery. I choose 1024 mb
3. Flash cronmod file just like this tutorial tell you.
4. Reboot, and now you have internal storage about 800-900 mb.
That's it

[HOW TO] Format SDcard and flash clean system

Boys and girl(s) ....
In this tutorial we'll learn HOW TO "format ALL" from recovery and flash clean and fresh new ROM
This is very easy job to do.
But as I received many PMs how to do this and (if you remember) that question was question number one on PAC thread - I decided to write this tutorial.
It's written for absolute beginners (I hate word noobs) and it's totally safe to do.
The most important thing is - do not rush, read twice and if you aren't sure in some step ASK
So let's go...
For this we'll need...
1) Computer
2) Working recovery
3) USB cable
4) Kernel with recovery and ability to mount USB from recovery (we'll need to copy few files from PC)
my advice - ICS kernel Advanced Stock Kernel or ELITE-Nozomi v2
5) New ROM and kernel you would like to flash
6) Few minutes
Before we begin to format our SDcard make sure you backed up all your files, pictures and other stuff you wanna keep.
Copy flashable kernel (see above - "what we'll need") to your device.
This procedure isn't dangerous but you are doing this on your own risk.
I will help you if you stuck somewhere but XDA or I won't be responsible if you damage your device!
Restart device, hold vol up to enter recovery
First off all we have to backup our ROM (if anything goes wrong)
Go to backup and restore and select backup.
While you're waiting, prepare new ROM and both kernels on your PC.
Now flash kernel
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select Install zip from sdcard and find your kernel (Advanced Stock or ELITE kernel).
You are maybe wondering why I said ICS kernel...?
Because we have problems mounting USB from recovery in JB kernels (if you have one that work - great, use that one).
After you installed kernel, restart device to recovery.
be careful to restart to recovery, remember - now you have ICS kernel and JB ROM (I guess you use JB)
Mount SDcard
O.K, go to "mounts and storage" and select "mount USB storage"
If you see this screen
And "autostart" opened your device on your PC - that's good.
Open Xperia S folder on your PC, find folder clockworkmod - copy whole folder to your device.
If you have few backups you may open that folder (on PC) and delete folders with older dates -if you don't need that backup- copy that to test you have connection.
If copying went O.K you may proced
If not - find different kernel. (but if you flashed one of recommended you can't have any problems).
FORMAT ALL
Go to main screen (we are still in recovery) and select "mounts and storage" again.
And select, one by one
- format /system
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
DO NOT RESTART DEVICE!!!
Don't restar device or you'll stuck without ROM and kernel and you'll have to use fastboot.
Now we'll use our ROM and KERNEL on PC.
Mount USB storage again.
Copy ROM and kernel from PC.
Unmount and...
Go to main recovery screen.
Select "install zip from SDcard.
Now we need our kernel (with recovery) which will be our new kernel. (you have already prepared new kernel, if you are 100% sure your new ROM has recovery in it you can skip this part and flash ROM right away - but be sure you have ROM which have kernel with recovery)
Find your kernel and flash it.
Restart device and go to recovery again.
Almost done - flashing new ROM
O.K...hardest part is behind us now...
Select "install zip from SDcard"
Find ROM you copied from your PC and flash it.
Restart and you are done.
If you are lazy, like me, restart to recovery and continue to read...
*** additional info ***
Remember, we saved and copied backup, we made, to our device.
Now we can use it to restore data.
Restart device to recovery.
Go to "backup and restore" and select "advanced restore".
Now select "restore data".
After restore is finished you can restart your device and boot android.
If you restored data from your backup you'll have all your apps and accounts already set up.
If not -settings wizard will start - just like when you boot your device right from the box
In both case you'll see your SDcard is empty and you have nothing but your ROM...
If you aren't sure in what you are doing - ASK and READ twice
If this tutorial helped you - hit tnx :thumbup:

One question. If we'll backup from old ROM data,wont it bring back all data,folders and and and.Even from uninstalled app's,old rom. All things from what I need clean my SD? Aren't they backed up too?

Yes and No.
If you restore your data you will get back some stuff but only apps and accounts details.
You won't get photos, pictures and your files.
Only apps and their stuff.
The best way is to do all from the scratch.
New ROM and installation of all apps you need again.
That's why I said additional info - only if you are lazy
For example, I have 5-6Gb of zips, png's and all kind of a craps, so I usually format all but restore data couse my ROM is clean. (I always have one backup - eXistanZ v2 absolutely clean, only with basic apps and all accounts already set... So when I need clean ROM but.with root browsers and apps I need I just restore this)

Is that for both LB and UB? Can I flash same kernel for LB?

artttur said:

Well....no.
You can't flash custom kernels on locked bootloader.
In case you have LB you have to find kernel for LB (stock) with recovery and ability to mount SDcard.
You'll have to search a bit and find out which kernel can do that.
I believe Advance Stock for ICS will do the job.
If you can't flash kernel, flash ROM with kernel and proced like you flashed only kernel, it's basically same thing only you'll have to wait longer for RIM to flash

Please read OP again.
That's the purpose of this thread...
To format SDcard!
That's why I said : prepare files (ROM) on your PC and check "mount" - basically, check could you be able to copy ROM from PC to device once you format all your data.
This thread is written for you to know how to format all and start from a scratch, so it's kinda silly question when you said "is a format of sdcard good idea"!?!

I would gladly help mate but I really don't follow what's happening in XS forum.
Try to ask on few kernel threads and I'm sure developers or one of users will help you.
Just ask is there recovery able to mount sdcard in that boot.img and you'll find suitable kernel.
It doesn't even have to be for your ROM, you just need it to format card and flash suitable kernel.
For example, you can use ICS kernel but make sure you don't try to boot flashed ROM before you flashed new kernel, kernel for your ROM.

Sir, I have a sony xperia S LT26i and i want to flsh it with the existenz ultra v1.0 and doomKernel v06 freshly, for that i am following your instructions but i am stuck at the step of MOUNT SD card, I have installed the custom kernel and the recovery and i get the same scree as said by you in the instructions bt no folder opens on my PC when i mount the storage... so m stuck...
One more doubt, since xperia S does not support SD cards means it only has an internal storage of 32GB is formatting the SD card a good idea..?? Since all the data will b lost even the zip in which Existenz ROm is present...?
Sorry for the long post...plz do reply...

Hey @artttur
Did you also Format your Xperia S SD Card with a Locked Bootloader?
If yes, For the flashable kernel with recovery(in Step 4),Did you use the ics kernel which you have pasted in the above post?
Also, for Step 5, I read that we can directly flash the ROM which installs Kernel with recovery in it...How did you do?
Do you know of any such ROM?
Sorry, I asked for help in xperia s Development threads, I didnt get any reply!!
Thanks...

Sorry, I didn't noticed,that You are on LB. And no i haven't try it on my device with LB , becouse of kernel. On LB You can't flash any custom kernel.
And if You can/know how to use flashtool ,You can try to flash this => http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-jb-xperia-z2-style-rom-t2806247/post54271759 amazing ROM. Or do it as it is mentioned in this post.

How to format internal sd card in fat32?
Hi guys,
I'm having some problems with my girlfriend's Sony xperia S.
I'm tryn' to install a custom rom, so I unblock the device, rooted and installed cwm recovery v6.0.3.0.
All works fine until I try to "install zip from sdcard", cause when I select "choose zip from sdcard", it returns an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/".
By a long search on google I found that some old cwm can't read sdcard formatted in ntfs and they need a fat32 one.
The probelm is that I really don't know how can i format an internal sd card. Windows did not see it as a storage like other disks, partition wizard also can't see the disk and of course from cwm I can't do anything on sdcard cause it can't access it. Can some one help me? I spent the whole day looking for a solution.
Thanks

great thanks

Don't do that....
Is it possible that you can't write constructive post to achieve ten posts?
This is not the way...
You are spamming the thread and lifting old thread to top pushing new and important threads down...
