I'm looking to install a Desire HD rom on my Desire and it requires an SD-EXT partition.I tried partitioning through Rom Manager but,even tho i have it ,it says that i don't have clockwork mod recovery installed.What should i do? is it safe to overwrite the clockworkmod recovery installation through ROM manager? And is it possible to partition the sd card directly via recovery?
Clockwork Mod doesn't have partitioning in it, you'd need to use AmonRA to partition in recovery - it's the reason why I went to AmonRA as I have a 1GB partition for the RCmixHD ROM (which is awesome btw)
Thanks for the answer.
How do i flash amonRA over clockworkmod? do i use unrevoked again?
Using ROM Manager with clockworkmod I was able to partition my sd card. I also flashed desire hd rom on my desire. The partitioning process using rom manager is a bit wierd.. my 8gb class 10 sd card partitioned without hiccups, the 2 gb class 4 card did get through
Yeah but my problem is that ROm Manager doesn't let me partition my sd card because it says that i don't have clockworkmod installed even tho i have it...

Did you root your phone with unrevoked? If so then it must work via ROM manager otherwise it wont.
The directions to work on ROM Manager are this ones:
Keep in mind that first inside ROM Manager you need to select the option Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and after that go to the SD partition option otherwise it wont work. And also remember you need to have the PREMIUM version otherwise it might not work
Now if you want to have more than a 512 mb you can use gparted. It is a livecd which means that can work on linux, mac or windows just reboot with the cd inside and is quite straightforward to use. Hope this helps.
i had this problem and here's what i did at the top of Rom Manager, it says Flash clockworkmod recovery. select it and select HTC Desire. then go to partition SD Card and select 512MB for Desire HD Roms. and a swap file of 32mb and it would simply boot into recovery and do the job. hope this helps
Hi,
I've got my phone at Insertcoin ( IDK what version ), but for speed improvements I would like to go to Cyanogenmod, but.....
1. I am S-ON.
2. I have Amon Ra recovery.
I've seen several s-off things for cyanogenmod. But I don't prefer to go S-OFF, is it possible to stay S-ON and have cyanogenmod?
And Amon Ra recovery... I prefer it for partitioning SD cards... I have seen already steps from the wiki with Amon Ra
Amon_Ra's Recovery process
1.Download the latest version of CyanogenMod. Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
2.Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card. Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
3.Boot into Amon_Ra's Recovery.
4.Once you enter Amon_Ra's Recovery, scroll up & down with the trackball, and the trackball button to select.
5.Select Wipe, then Wipe data/factory reset
6.Select Flash zip from sdcard.
7.Select the CyanogenMod update.zip. Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 6 & 7 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
8.Once the installation has finished, select Reboot system. The HTC Desire (GSM) now should boot into CyanogenMod.
So its possible with Amon Ra, but do i really need to go S-OFF?
that sounds all good to me far as am concerned you only have to go s-off if you want to change the memory partions using alpharel tables.
And that means?
I just want Cyanogenmod with the ability to set apps to the SD card ( just so I have more then 150 MB ( thats stock )
( And I'm also on Insertcoin already! )

Cyanogenmod doesn't officially support the A2SD+ implemented on Insertcoin ROM. But it is possible to do so by flashing a script. There is a link provided at the bottom of the original post (or the 2nd post I cant remember) on the Cyanogen thread.
As for the S-Off I think you really do not need to do it if you are not ready to change partition tables. The only disadvantage is that you are going to waste system space that can be allocated to your apps since Cyanogenmod requires a lot less system space than Sense roms. But since you are going to do A2SD+ and move everything to the SD, I don't think you'll have problems with running out of space.
You don't need to go s-off.. There is an easy way to send apps to your sd card with cyanogen, download an app called s2e from Android market and follow the instructions. Its the simplest way to achieve the result. I have this installed, I have heaps of apps installed and I have tonnes of internal space left.

So, just stay Son , wipe, flash cyanogenmod, flash gapps, and how to do the app2sd then?
And where can i get that app2sd mentioned by timaaaaa?
Like I said just go to Android market and search for s2e

Ok, so the steps I have to take
- Wipe my phone with Amon Ra
- Wipe my partition and SD card
- Flash CM7
- Flash Gapps
- Reboot
- Install S2E ( from market )
- Let it install the script
- flash CM7 again.
( Is this right? )
( Do all the steps work with Amon Ra? )
Does S2E work with a ext 2 partition?

Make sure you backup your apps using titanium.
Do all your wipes etc.
Flash cyanogen.
After you flash cyanogen, let it boot once, do the phone setup but skip google account setup. Once you've done that reboot into recovery and flash gapps. Now boot again and do the google account setup.
Go to settings/cyanogen settings/applications and make sure your app download target is set to internal.
Now download s2e, open it and check the boxes you want to move to the ext. You will be prompted to reboot so do that and it will install the script.
Download titanium again from market.
Use titanium to restore your apps.
There is no need to flash cyanogen again.
Yes do your wipes and flashes via recovery.

Oh and s2e uses ext4 type partition
Let me know how you go
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
S2E will create the ext partition? Or do I have to create it myself?
( And still the question: )
Is this still possible with Amon Ra recovery?
You will need to partition it yourself, use gparted. I've never used Amon recovery but I think its safe to say you can wipe/flash using it.

I you were using Insertcoin before then you should have ext3 or ext4 already..

I have a ext 2 already... Is ut possible to use this partition for cm7? Dont want to empty my SD card again....
Cyanogen itself doesn't require an ext.. But I think you will need ext4 for the s2e. Just dump your files from the sd to your PC.. Format it, partition it, and dump them back on.

I can create ext with amon ra, but on what step?
Before you flash the rom
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Your steps:
Make sure you backup your apps using titanium.
Do all your wipes etc.
So here must the partitioning? And then how much ext and how much swap? And it is really not possible with a ext2? Otherwise do via amon ra, create ext with ... ext and ... swap, and then upgrade ext2 to ext3 and then to ext4?
Flash cyanogen.
After you flash cyanogen, let it boot once, do the phone setup but skip google account setup. Once you've done that reboot into recovery and flash gapps. Now boot again and do the google account setup.

Anywhere up to 2gb will work ok, and at least 1gb. Zero swap. I've never partitioned via recovery, I just used gparted which allows you to choose ext4 straight away. But if the process you mentioned is how you do it via recovery then I guess you do it that way.. If you don't want to use gparted.

Guys, I accidentaly formatted the data and all the SD card from my Desire using the 4EXT Recovery. I didn't even make a Nandroid backup. Now, I haven't any custom ROM, so my phone boots directly into the bootloader menu.
Tried with flashing with the Android Flasher but failed in some processes during the flash. What should I do now, how to install a new rom ( because I don't know how to connect with the PC) or maybe back to stock?!?!. ...NEED HELP QUICKLY, GUYS!!!
In 4ext recovery you have option to mount as USB storage, use it to copy rom to sd and then install it as zip from sd card.

Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.

As it is mentioned on their site that TWRP 2.8.1.1 supports install from external SD card but on my Xiaomi Redmi 1s I am unable to do that. external memory card is not read in Recovery mode.
At first u need to root your device then push CWM recovery to it coz stock recovery gives md5 error if tried to flash TWRP. After booting to CWM, select TWRP file from recovery and flash it.
