[Q] Where to start?

Hi,
I just bought a Desire today.
its
S-OFF
rooted
running leedroid v2.3d
thats all I know.
Im downloading the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 Rom right now.
How do I get things right without messing up my phone?
pls someone guide me how to install this rom propely and what's the required files etc2
Im really confused right now.
read a bunch of stuff here and couldnt find an answer
hopefully someone would help me out
thanks!
edit:what's the MD5sum for?
it says as a requirement on the insercoin thread that its either a
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one should I use/download?
the ROM that I downloaded has a md5sum of MD5: b7e9f7e7dc60b79874920dfcde50ac76
please please anyone?

MD5 sum is to chceck if your download was uncorrupted. MD5 of downloaded file must be identical to the one provided in ROM thread ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUMS, if you flash for example corrupted hboot or radio it WILL brick your device
now, what you must do, since you are already rooted and S-OFFed:
1) make sure you have 1GB ext3/4 partition on your SD card, AFTER FAT32
if it is there, you are OK, if not use Gparted (bootable CD) to make one, mount SDcard in recovery and partition your SD
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
3) boot into recovery, wipe all, wipe dalvik and choose to flash downloaded insertcoin.zip
once it ends reboot, and after 15min it should boot up android, if not pull the battery cause smth didnt work out.
what could have gone wrong:
-your sd-ext wasnt done properly (double check or re-do)
-your recovery was outdated (report back here, i will help you updating it)

thanks for the response!
how do i check for the md5 of my downloaded file?
I have a clockworkmod v2.5.0.7
im downloading gparted now and will the files on to a disc after.
or can I use any partition master apps?like minitool or easeus partition?
please guide me how to partition it properly
its a 16gb kingston class 6
and how do i update my recovery just do be sure
edit: sorry for these noobie questions. I was really shocked how hard it is compared to flashing hd2s and defys
and yeah I have adb installed on my pc with the required files in it. the thing is I never used it. not even once sorry :0
anyway will try repartitioning my sd card now

you can check MD5 with program called HashTAB: once you install it, right click on file, choose properties and choose file hashes panel.
updating your recovery: find topic here on desire forums for clockwork mod 4.0.0.5 - if you download a .zip file you can use a fake-flash method which means booting into CWM 2.5.0.7 then choosing to flash CWM4.0.0.5.zip and this will launch new CWM, however you must do it every time you go into recovery.
if you want a permanent install of CWM 4.0.0.5 download its .img file, check MD5, put it into your androidSDK folder, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt (cmd) type:
cd X:/ANDROIDSDKLOCATION/tools [navigate to your SDK installation folder]
fastboot devices [this should give a serial number]
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img [.img file must be inside /tools folder]
and it will flash it permanently
you can find a video tutorial on how to partition SD in Desire Android Development sticky thread, its one of the first 3 or 4 threads, videos for noobs, all is there
also in thread tagged [TUT] you can find video on how to use ADB

I just partitioned my sd properly w/ gparted
downloaded the Desire_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-j_r0dd_mod.zip
what do you recomend?fake flash or flash it permanently?
and could you please clarify this
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, what should I place on the root of my SD card?the zip file or the .IMG file?then once I press vol+power I just wait then accept then it will install it?
then after that I just copy the nandroid backup onto my SD card and flash?
one more thing.
what's the best or recommended radio?
note:I cant connect to any data connection.either using 2g/wcdma,wdcma only or 2g only.
I dont know if it's the rom or what.hope its not a hardware issue though
My reception is always full by the way
note:here's what I did. placed the PB99IMG.zip on the sd then turned the device off then pressed vol down + power, a prompt asked for a update.I said yes then asked me to reboot. I answered no then went to clockwork recovery then flashed the insercoin rom after wiping cache and dalvik and factory data reset.rebooted the device and now im waiting for my phone to completely boot.
hope I made everything right

you gotta read more carefully dude
as i said, if you downloaded CWM.ZIP (ZIP FILE) FAKE-FLASH is the ONLY thing you can do with it. if you would have .IMG FILE permanent flasing from fastboot would be the only possibility. SOZ BOUT THAT !!! i just looked at this files, it is not flashable ZIP, this is an .img file packed into a .zip (LOL) unpack it, check MD5 Sum provided inside the .zip file and flash it using fastboot !!!
also some instructions taken from alpharev.nl (they are just under the table with hboots): You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
so rename the cm7r2.zip you have to PB99IMG.zip and put it on your SD (not in any folders) then go to bootloader with VolDown+Power, wait around 10 seconds and confirm flashing new HBOOT
after doing this, you cannot simply restore a NANDROID (if a ROM was made for stock hboot, it will not work on CM7 hboot this should be kinda obvious) you must flash a ROM designed form CM7 hboot so, for example InsertCoin CM7 (it is because on stock hboot system files are 250MB, and then on CM7 you have only 145mb, so restoring a NANDROID that had 250MB/system wont work, wont fit, wont boot)
i suggest you read full info available on www.alpharev.nl
best radio ? well i am an up-to-date geek so i always use the newest though you should be fine with any. if you encounter any problems though (with reception or wifi etc) you should consider upgrading your RADIO. however if you will change your HBOOT to CM7 (which is also treated as data++ by alpharev AND Ultimate Online Kitchen cause of the /cache size) you will be able to flash new radio ONLY from fastboot (it is also said on alpharev.nl :If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.)
about data connection.
go into settings > wireless > acces points (you gotta find it, i dunno how are these named in other laungauges) and set up your APN correctly (you should find correct settings for your mobile provider on thier website, or just google it)
closing remarks:
remember that if ANYONE was helpful to you, hit the 'thanks' button if you got any more questions, i am more than happy to help

thanks a lot bro!
Im now running on insertcoin w/o any probs.
many many thanks for your help.
PS:gave you a couple of thanks

[Q] HTC Desire - S-OFF/Root after ROM install with freezing!!!

Hi All,
I hope somebody can help me in case of following issue.
After some months I decided I try to install "not original ROM" to the phone.
After I read many instructions I started S-Off (Software: Alpharevx) root (Software: Unrevoked) - I didn't have any special problem with them based on the instructions.
After that I see following in Hboot menu of the phone:
"BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCHPANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
AUG 10 2010, 17:52:18"
I chose more ROMs to decide which is the best for me. I installed the first one, the phone restarted and it was frozen at the "HTC logo" (with white screen).
I thought the ROM is wrong, so I tried all, but I met same problem.
One time the system (android) loaded and started, but after the first restart it was also frozen at the "HTC logo". I installed back the original ROM, and it works well.
My questions: What did I do wrong or why it freeze always? I forgot one step, etc.?
Thank you for the help!

You probably forgot to partition SD Card, most ROM's requires ext2/3/4 partition usually 512MB+, though some needs 1gb+.
There is loads of partitioning guides, i advice to do it with gParted, if you're not comfortable with linux then try recovery from my signature, you'll do it with few clicks.
If you dont know how to flash recovery, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661317&stc=1&d=1311251519
Put it onto your sdcard (not any folders, just root of the SD), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" or PB99IMG if you have file extensions disabled in windows, and boot into bootloader. (hold vol- and power)
Will ask if you want to update, accept. Go into recovery and make an 1GB EXT3 partition, now flash the ROM you want.
Ofcourse full wipe/factory reset and dalvik cache wipe before you flash new ROM.

Yeah, I also like to use fastboot commander (requires java JDK) to wipe boot, system, userdata, cache and sd-ext.. it's a more extensive wipe than just wiping userdata/ factory reset and ROM's either always seem to work better or it's maybe just a placebo effect

I think the version of the RADIO is old.
I have a new, but I do not know how to install it.
I would like to ask for help.
What programs do i need and where can I download it.
Thank you very much.

use the links in the post above to get fastboot commander, and a newer radio (from official GB update) is in my signature.
Download fastboot commander, boot into fastboot mode, select radio, browse for the radio.img then flash radio. And you're done, it takes a few seconds and I have to remind you to check the md5 because you can brick your phone if it goes bad. so do not interrupt it.

Hi All,
Now my phone works well...

noob thoughts (and may help other noobs)

got a new desire (finally)
first thing i did was work out what version i had (yes i'm really noob!!)
Bravo is the 'normal' Desire which HAS a SIM card to work
BravoC is the CDMA Desire which is locked to a single provider and DOES NOT have a SIM card
Next i thought i'd flash a new ROM on my new Bravo
found the best guide IMO here:-
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...-android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method
I say this is the best guide as all can be done in windows without boot into linux shells and burning ISO's etc & there's a you tube vid to watch as you do it!
best guide here if you happy to burn images and linux shells also ROM types explained really well here too...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
I followed all steps apart from the last (optional ROM) with theunlockr guide.
then i used ROM MANGER App to install my 1st ROM - as this seemed the best and safest idea. This works well if you know what ROM type you want (refer to xda noob guide).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psmI8KmBNeY
WATCH this vid!!! helps you understand terms etc too.
All was well until I decided i wanted a ROM that requires HBOOT changes lol. so ROM MANAGER isnt the way to go although i still use it to update clockwork recovery.
HBOOT versions - jeez... a minefield...
CM7 Hboot 130MB System, 5MB Cache, 302MB Data
CM7r2 Hboot 145MB System, 5MB Cache, 287MB Data
DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data
STOCK Hboot 250MB System, 40MB Cache, 147MB Data
ALL AVAIL (and more) HERE :-
http://alpharev.nl/
being lazy (lol) and alpha rev needs a linux boot shell, burn an image blah blah i used flashbootcommander to flash HBOOT images straight from windows 7...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
You need java runtimes & a for recovery HBOOT image from here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
reboot your phone in HBOOT (vol down & press pwr) plug into PC, run the FastbootCommanderV.1.51.jar
click on HBOOT/SPL button and select the HBOOT you want to use
click on RECOVERY button and select the recovery-bravo-3.0.0.5-r3.img you downloaded from above link)
click on FLASH SPL
click on FLASH RECOVERY
reboot phone!
all was well with my CM7r2 flashed hboot (press vol & pwr and its there in PINK which you have currently installed) untill i found a rom that requires CM7 hboot, you will get an error in fastbootcommander if you try to flash cm7 over cm7r2 so to perform a downgrade flash 'bravo_downgrade.img' from alpharev! first then flash cm7
CLOCKWORK RECOVERY use/features here:-
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
the only prob i had with it was to remember to use the trackball thing on phone rather than volume/pwr button for navigation and then clicking it can be used to enter/launch the selection lol
anyways hope this is some help to other noobs - basically if you want easy ROM changes use ROMMANAGER, if you want newer xda ROMs then be happy with flashing HBOOT.
thanks to all here and the search button

Low Memory on Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition

Okay - i bet since my question is too easy to solve i will get facepalmed soon
So what am i using:
HTC DESIRE SLCD / S-OFF / Rooted / 32gb class 10 SD card (Samsung)
4EXT touch Recovery
Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition + ad2sdx-1.0-RC01
Whats my Problem:
Low internal memory even if there are 1,2 gb of free space ( apps start crashing / default browser wont open due to lack of internal memory... everything else works perfect)
The Problem doesnt appear instantly after flashing and installing.
So what i did:
1. looked in the FAQ from Runnymede Thread and used a cache cleaner
2. installing the ROM few more times
But it didn't help - thats why i am here
I guess i am making a mistake while installing the Rom
www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg
(cant post img or links because i am new here - tell me if it doesnt work)
because i cant select this option - i guess thats where I go wrong?
maybe its the wrong ROM I downloaded?
I cant help myself somehow.. thats why i am here
(i spent about 1 week trying everything that comes to my mind but it didnt help)
Thx 4 all work you have done and your support!
if this works out i am going to donate 10€

What is your hboot ? I guess it is stock hboot.
It should be at least CM7r2 in order ad2sdx to work properly as it needs a bigger data partition sise to mount as sd-ext. Your actual sd-ext will be mounted as data partition.
I can't open www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg to see what it is.

Yeah i have HBOOT 0.93.0001
okay gonna try fix that and then report my result

im having the same problem with my installation
i have the hboot from alpharev
the info is as follows
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot- 0.93.0001
micicrop-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.17.05.23
aug 10 2010 17:52:18
and i have the same exact issue, i set my ext4 to abt 1.6gb and i cant get access to it at all

Alpharev made several HBOOTs, if you want to use AD2SDX make sure you flashed Bravo CM7 r2, you'll find it on their homepage.
I guess you guys both are currently using Bravo Stock HBOOT.
You can find out which HBOOT you are using (just to make sure) go into fastboot mode and look for the text in the pink box above the "BRAVO PVT xyz..."

Ok here we go again
I flashed Bravo CM7 r2 from alpharev.nl yesterday et voila - i had the ad2sdx option in the aroma installer.
(I had a screenshot on the the link nobody can see where it was missing)
Now the phone is working about 12 hours without any memory problems - of course it needed some time to settle down in the beginning, but that was mentioned in the runnymede threads before.
But i am still asking myself if i did too much now because...
I flashed Runnymede V6.0.4.1 with ad2sdx
Afterwards I immediately flashed ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 (amarullz)
Then i went for the Sense 3.5 Kernel from Droidzone
I bet i just needed to flash Runnymede since it comes with its own kernel (?) and has build-in ad2sdx?
Thx guys
Btw. kevearc how are you doin?

ad2sdx: You flashed the same thing twice, if you ckeck ad2sdx in the AROMA Installer, it will already be flashed automatically.
Kernel: The ROM comes with a build in Kernel by Droidzone, but you can flash newer ones.

Ahh btw.
I am looking for the sticky notes widget from stock ROM from android 2.2.
Just the one where you can draw/write and delete.
I dont need any memo or synchronisation and stuff.
So i looked " htc desire stock rom zip " to get the apk
or for " htc desire sticky notes " but didnt get what i was looking for.
I also tried to start the RUU installer and get the ROM.zip out of my temp folder but i didnt find it ( either in normal temp or windows\temp ).
Any idea? or is there a secret database hidden ?

Look at my signature..!

ok i guess, could u guide me as to how to perform the same procudere on my phone as u did yours?
i think my problem is that i didnt flash the Bravo cm7 thingy, lol
at the top of my bootloader screen, mine just says Alpharev in purple text

@kevearc: That means you are using Alpharev Stock HBOOT, go to their site and flash CM7r2. Instructions are given there.
@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.
If you want to save time, just download the old Widget here

@WoH - thx :3
@kevearc
( only works with S-OFF !)
1. Download the Zip from Alpharev called PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Put it on your SD Card
4. Start Bootloader with Power + Vol down
5. messages comes with " do you want to flash this blabla " -> go for it
6. delete File
7. Check if everything worked in the Bootloader Menu
8. Better reflash your ROM (maybe it works without that but i wont guarantee)

When you have CID error, you cannot update with sdcard procedure.
You need to flash it in fastboot mode or the easier way is search for Fastboot Commander and use this to flash the hboot.

Did FbC / adb work before?
Maybe you could try to reinstall adb driver...

[Q] HTC Desire (Stock 2.2 Froyo) + put a custom rom on it

Hi,
I have an old HTC Desire and the memory is running low (Facebook app is getting too big ).
It's still running on 2.2 Froyo (stock) but I needed a gold card years ago (somehow I don't know why anymore, maybe because it was sim-locked) to install Froyo on it.
I know my Desire isn't rooted and all... haven't been following Android versions and I was wondering if I can put on some of the latest version on a Desire (Jelly bean, 4.2?) somehow.
I know years ago it was hard to root/put a custom rom on it. Now a days I read there are much easier methods. Can someone put me in the good direction?
Thanks!

This is what i would recommend. S-off and install a custom recovery using revolutionary, flash a 4.2 rom of your choice.
First download htc sync, then uninstall it so that it leaves only the necessary drivers behind. Then install these fastboot drivers. Also make sure that usb debugging is enabled on your phone. Then download a rom that you want to install from here and copy it to your sd card. Also if the rom doesnt come with gapps, make sure that you download and copy those as well.
Next download revolutionary from here and also fill out the information so that you can get the beta key. Plug your phone in, unzip the file and then run revolutionary.exe. Continue through all the steps and say yes to installing the recovery.
Now boot into hboot (turn phone off, then turn back on using volume down and power) and it should say s-off. From hboot select RECOVERY and it should open your newly installed clockworkmod recovery. Select wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. After that go to install zip from sdcard, choose the rom that you downloaded earlier and flash it. Do the same for the gapps. Then reboot and profit.

Thanks! I got some questions:
1) Will I need a goldcard? I made one years ago but don't know how to check if it is already goldcarded?
2) Which hboot should I choose when I want to get the beta key of revolutianary?
3) Also what serial number? That of my phone?
4) What do you mean by "Also check if the rom doesnt come with gapps"? Is the google play/store not a standard in the custom roms?
I'm going to follow the steps above I hope I can accomplish this withouth problems

Make a goldcard. (I never did and had no problems, but if you are getting CID errors with revolutionary make one)
Use the hboot version that you have on your phone. You said above that its the 0.93 version, so use that.
Roms usually don't come with the google apps (including the play store) because of copyright issues. You will need to flash the google apps package.

Nevermind
Also how do I get root? Or is this already done before I install a custom rom?
I installed this rom (cyanomod). I still having issues with internal memory. Any ideas? I didn't quite understand the wizard options for A2Ext+: where you needed to choose Data, Dalvic cache or both.

Custom ROMs come with root most of the time.
You need to partition your SD card. Look in the desire general section for the guide, probably on the first page.

Ok it worked. I found out using 4EXT. But then I wanted to restart. It is taking ages (I have a Transcend 8 GB micro sd class 6). It just keeps on the cyanomod loading screen.
EDIT: removed the sd card, now i had to go throught the install wizard for setting my phone.
EDIT 2: have mounted the sd card again, but can't install any app (not enough memory). When I look at the amount of memory I have i see 0.98 GB free
EDIT3: Reinstalled the rom. all works now.
