Unable to flash new/seemingly any rom - Any help?

So a while back I rooted my desire, and played about with a few roms, then stuck with cyanogen for quite a while. This is the order of a few actions I took which I think may be where the problem occurred.
So from being rooted with cyanogen 7:
I decided to s-off the phone with alpharev
I then put a new splash screen on
Then decided I wanted a new sd card (I was told by a mate it will just go straight in no problems) So I bought an 8gb card stuck it in put my backed up data on the card and booted, all was fine.
I then thought about trying a few new roms that had appeared, and I tried flashing one only for the phone to hang forever on the splash screen.
I've been trying a few things to try to resolve it, stabbing in the dark, such as running unrevoked3 (maybe to root again, only for it to say the firmware is too new) I made my new sd card a gold card, like I did with the original.
None of these helped. has anyone any ideas or know how to sort this out???

What recovery do you have? Which ROM did hang?

Did you do a full wipe?
Does the rom you want to instal require a ext partition?

I wiped the cache, and dalvik cache, even did a factory reset in recovery. Im using clockwork recovery.
I tried InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_CM7_v20 and Reflex_S_2.0_LITE_GingerBread_Sense-2.1_GRI40_A2SD+
Maybe these need an ext partition? Would that be it? I'm not sure how to set that up yet.

yes those roms need ext partition, don't know about reflex bu have insertcoin myself, 1GB ext4.
1.go to recovery
2.press on partition sd,choose the size, then after it's finished convert it to ext3 in partition sd again below the option of making one, you can make ext4, but thats up to you. ext3 is needed..
Don't forget to backup your sd, you'll lose everything on it

The ROM you mentioned is an a2sd ROM. So yes, you'll need to partition your SD card if you want to use a a2sd rom.

Thanks for this I will get on it and let you know

I can't find an option in my clockwork to partition the sd. Just been searching a bit and seen it can be done through rom manager, that rebooted the phone and left me with the ! in a triangle and the small droid on the screen and when I press the power button it is in recovery it says installation aborted. Is there a guide for the Desire? I can't seem to find one....
Sorry found a guide on here. Will try to do it now.

Ok so I am really struggling to get anywhere with a few different guides to partition the card. Through rom manager it also says signature failed, although I have tried toggling the permissions. Major

Steveoh like i told, do it from recovery(easiest), when you rooted you were able to change the recovery(unrEVOked), do so and change it to Ra recovery
Still if you don't want to this program can help youhttp://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Download this and do it from you pc, although it's very easy to do from recovery, takes 5,6 minutes mostly waiting..

I have created a partition with the program you recommenced. How will I know that it is ext 3? And that my phone will use it?
found it!

[Q] Stuck on start HTC screen (start screen)

So i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
i rooted my phone yesterday and today tried install that rom i installed it with
http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/ guide after install it said it was succesfully installed and i tried reboot it and now i cannot open it normally.
I can go recovery mode by pressing power + volume down
Can some1 help me what should i do?

In most circumstances it is because your sd card is not properly formatted or you have flashed the wrong data table. I think it is probably becuase of the sd card, make sure you format with a fat 32 and a ext4 partition. You can do this very easily with your recovery program or with gparted. If this fails I would flash a simple rooted rom to get the phone up and running and then read the forum. I assure you that is is not as complicated as it all seems

can some1 give me link for guide to format with a fat 32 and a ext4 partition
or simple rooted rom to i can get my phone back to work?

This is a rooted stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833310
Download this, put it on your sd card and flash it exactly as you flashed your previous rom, this will get the phone working again. I would then simply download and install Clockwork Mod recovery or 4ext recovery, both these will sort you sd card out. You simply want a fat32 with a 1gb ext 3 partition. Once this has been done you can then look at installing more complex roms.
If you get stuck lt me know and I will try and help, I was in the same place a year ago!!!!

Sorry, use this rooted rom as the other link requires sd ext

.... because you're partitioning your SD-CARD.. and as far as I know that can be taken out of the phone no?
you can use gparted or minitool partition wizard (google the names). Most ROMs require a minimum of 512mb EXT Partition but 1GB is advisable. EXT3 is preferable, as the faster EXT4 is not compatible with all ROMS

u've asked for the link... i'gave u the link...
use a cardreader and boot not from ur smart, but from usb and do the same steps as in video described

[Q] Some questions about Desire and custom ROM's

Hi guys.
Well I managed to get root access to my phone which wasn't really hard. And I managed to s-off and backup my files successfully. Now I'd like to deal with the internal memory issue. The question I want to ask you is this one.
If I create 2 partitions with gparted, one fat32 and second ext4 (around 2 gb's), will the ext4 one be considered as internal memory too ?
Then I'd like to install a custom ROM. So the second question is, can all ROM's the internal memory that way. I mean the custom part from the SD card ?
If something is unclear just ask, cause English is not my primary language.
Thanks in advance.

It should be that every ROM has it's own requirements for doing that.

So not every ROM can use approximately 2 GB for internal memory ?
That's what you're saying ?

Yes, for example I use 3GB on my SuperNova ROM, but recommended is 2GB so now I am trying to repair that. If you get me.
Kapiras? xD

Euh, if you ask me I would say it's part of internal memory (when you remove it the apps on ext4 don't work anymore) but i'm not a dev so not sure though
you can see it as an extension to your internal storage capacity..
next, most of the systems to use your ext4 are already included in roms (A2SD, D2EXT) so you don't have to worry about that, they recognise the partition themselves
the only thing you should be aware of is that you pick the right HBoot (don't flash CM7 HBOOT A2SD on a STOCK HBOOT A2SD)
this is normally explained in most ROM posts but i guess with a 2GB part you should be fine for A LOT of different ROMs
extra: there is a nice pic near the end of THIS post what is shifted to the ext partition when you use a certain method
grtz

So like with an app A2SD when not rooted, you can move apps to SD, but when you remove it, part's of it remain in the memory on the SD card.
The link you gave me is for "AD2SDX Special Edition for Sebastiaan15 RunnyMede Desire ROM", exactly what I want to install.
So first I create partitions with gparted. Fully wipe my sd card.
Flash the rom, then flash that AD2SDX zip file.
And it should work fine ?
Thanks for answering mate.

well, with the last version of sebastian15 for CM7 there's no need to flash the AD2SDX zip file, now it comes as an option during install (you'll see )
thus, first you make 2 partitions 1 ext4 of min 1024MB (mine is that size but you can do more if you'd like) an the rest of the sdcard is fat32 .. (mine: 7GB)
then download the right rom (check HBOOT, i have CM7R2 so i can install AIO v1), with Hboot its version 5.3 and you still have to flash the AD2SDX zip if you want it (A2SD is good enough for me )
oh right, don't forget a full wipe

An external partition has nothing to do with hboot.

The only worse thing than people not helping are people helping wrong. This thread is a failure on so many levels that human vocabulary just can't cut it.

Then why don't you help me, or just point me in a right direction ?
Thanks for the answers.

Because information you seeks are essential to know before you attempt to root.

FYI, I have successfully rooted my phone.
And I have managed to install the desired ROM.

And one more question.
I have managed to make 2 partitions.
Fat32 (5,5 gb) and ext4 (2,2 gb), yet the phone recognizes only 5.5 as the SD memory. And the 2,2 are not usable ATM.
What should I do ?

Reading your last comment I can't imagine how could you possibly root it successfully on your own.

GTFO of my thread.

Zealotic, terepin is right in a way. You show no understanding of the ext partition, or flashing, or ROMs. It will never show up. Because it is a separate partition. You'll only ever see the fat32 partition in your phone under sd storage. You need to do some research before you attempt any of this.

[Q] What do I need to install Marange MIUI ROM?

Hey. I tried to install Marange MIUI, but got stuck on a boot-loop (HTC image was up for like 10 seconds, then the screen went black and repeated). So now I've restored my original ROM from a un-root .exe so it's like when I got it out of the box.
Now I want to give it another try, but want to know what I might have done wrong.
I downloaded the latest version of Marange MIUI, put the .zip on my SD card, made the partition in ext3 then installed MIUI through ClockworkRecovery. The installation went fine and when I re-booted my device it began the bootloop. I did wipe the cache and all that also, but it didn't work anyways. Also tried updating to the latest radio.
But now it's all back to square one, like when I bought it. Only thing I've done is to root it with unrevoked3.
Do I have to install anything special, like another ROM and then patch it with Marange MIUI?
Thankful for all help I can get, since I really want to run this ROM.
Also, sorry for noobing down this community.

The requirements are in the marange thread, right after the list of whats NOT working.

No, I'm s-on, according to HBOOT.
Well, first I formatted my SD-card through windows in FAT32. Then I downloaded MiniTool Partition Wizard and made a ~610MB partition in ext3 as a primary. It didn't have a driver letter on the partition, though. It's just called "*:" in MiniTool. Was I supposed to name the partition something, maybe?
If I need S-Off, how do I fix that?

Thanks alot for the help! Ran into a bit of a problem with the 4ext recovery though. When I partitioned the SD-card, I then later was without any free space on my SD-card. It was like 172mb used and 0mb free. Why did it do that? I can't really set any size for my FAT32 partition, only the 1st and second sd-ext and for the swap files. Do I really need 2 sd-ext? Noticed that it says "skip" on the top when partitioning, if I skip like the 1st sd-ext, do I make room for the FAT32 partition?

When u partition ur sdcard with 4ext, it really depends on what rom u are installing coz some require different partition sizes but most roms require this so follow this -
Boot into recovery then choose
tools/partition sdcard
Remove all partitions and start from scratch
1024
Skip
Skip
Ext4
All done
Just be sure to check rom thread first for sizes, but 9 times out of 10 this is whats required.

Tried that, but the screen has been stuck on the "MI xiaomi.com" screen for like a crapload of time. Way beyond 15 minutes.. Is it supposed to take this long? Never took more than 5 min with any other ROM :/

Dont think so, iv never used this rom. Did u do a full wipe before flashing? If it were me id boot recovery, goto
Wipe/format
Wipe dalvik
Wipe all partitions except sdcard
Then try reinstall the rom

Help rookie to root HTC Desire

Hello evryone.I got the Desire today and I would very much like to do root on my phone.I'm a total novice about all this and I'd like to ask someone for help.When I go in the boot menu (volume down+power) i have this:
-Revolutionary
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23

HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Can someone suggest where to find a tutorial step by step how to do root on my phone because I'm a total beginner?
Thanks.

Well it looks like all the hard parts have been taken care of already. The rest is a piece of cake
Revolutionary was used to s-off, which probably means that you have a custom recovery install as well.
Use volume down while in the bootloader to scroll down to RECOVERY. Then use power to select it. When the recovery boots up you should have either cwm (clockworkmod) or 4ext recovery installed. Tell me which one you have so that i can give you some more guidance.

I'm afraid that nothing of what you have said I do not have.When I select a recovery nothing happens,On the next screen I see icon of phone on the middle of the screen and two circular arrow.One point down and another point up,and then red tringle with an exclamation point in the middle.I tried several times and always the same.Is this serious problem?

Then you need to flash a recovery. Either through fastboot, or through the PB99img method.
Fastboot implies installing fastboot, adb and hboot drivers on your PC, downloading the recovery.img, and then using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
The PB99IMG.zip is a bit easier. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258

Yep, thats pretty much correct. You go into the bootloader, wait a couple seconds and it should find the PB99IMG.zip that you placed on the root of your sdcard automatically. Then you press volume up to confirm the install, and then reboot. Go back into the bootloader and select recovery and you should now have 4ext recovery.
Forget about the fastboot command. That is just another method of installing 4ext, but its a bit more work. Since youre using the PB99IMG method you dont have to do this.
Once youre in recovery you have a few options:
Boring option- You can simply flash a root zip which will give you root access on the stock rom
Fun option- You can pick out a custom rom from the development section and flash it. Custom roms come prerooted, and have so many other advantages over stock. (Performance, a2sd for gaining more space for apps, battery life, customization, etc.)

Well anything over android 4+ wont run ideally on the desire.
My favorite stable rom is milwild's redux. You need to do a couple things before flashing to optimize your space usage. First create a 1GB ext4 partition using this guide. Then go here and download the PB99IMG_oxygenr2 zip. This is an hboot and will change the layout of the internal partition to maximize the amount of space for apps and app data. After youve downloaded it, rename it to PB99IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sdcard. Then you go into the bootloader and install it the same way you did for 4ext. After that you go into 4ext, go to the wipe menu and choose "format all partitions (except sdcard)". Finally go to install zip from sdcard, select the rom i recommended above and flash it.

I have to admit that Gparted method for partitioning sd card somehow easiest for me.Again I have a few questions before I start my adventure installing milwild's redux ROM.

I did half the job, now the hard part remains.I installed 4EXT recovery and partitioned SD Card but not completely.I did everything like in the tutorial, but the internal memory is not increased.Here's a picture after finishing operations.
When I check the internal memory I have only 125MB.I repeated the operation three times, and the result is always the same.I Insert the CD with Gparted in the computer, boot and go to Gparted menu,delete SD Card and create first 6.4GB like fat32 primary partition.Then select second unalocated part of the SD card and create 1.1GB like ext4 primary partition.Complete operation and when i look into my SD card size is exactly same as in the Gparted (6.4GB) but internal memory is only 125MB.No idea what to do.

The storage that it shows in settings will not show the space on your ext partition. But don't worry, its working. You can download an app such as titanium backup which will show you the amount of space on your ext partition. If you're skeptical, try installing a few apps from the play store. If you're not getting any low memory errors you are good to go.
You flashed then oxygen r2 hboot right?

Try partitioning with 4ext. Also you should really switch to oxygenr2 hboot...with stock hboot you are wasting a ton of space on the system partition.

I have a big problem with partitioning SD Card.I tried through recovery 4ext and still not work.When I finish all process,these 1gb appears nowhere, still got 128MB internal memory.No matter what I do, or with gparted or 4ext always have 128mb of internal memory.Can I install MildWild MW-9.5.zip without expanding the internal memory?If not, can you explain to me how to do root to my phone?

You still don't understand what has been explained before
Your internal memory will not read 'internal + sd-ext' because that's just the way the script works.
As long as the sd-card has been correctly partitioned, the A2SD script should work automatically. (you probably didn't need to use 4EXT if you follow the gparted guide exactly, but doesn't matter now)
Keep apps on internal i.e. don't 'Move to SD', and it will trick the apps apks and dalvik cache to sd-ext. You internal memory (/data) will fill up with app data (e.g. just the saved games). Another way to check is to install another app like 'diskusage', it will allow you to browse your partitions.
What is limiting you is that you are still on stock hboot. You should change to OxygenR2 hboot as advised. Currently on stock hboot your /system size is 250MB, but you're using only around ~95MB, wasting over 150MB.
If you switch to OxygenR2 hboot, the system size is 100MB, you'll waste only 5MB, and the rest gets converted to extra internal memory...total 332MB instead of 147MB...i.e. more space for apps
You should now
-nandroid backup
-flash oxygenR2 hboot, either by PB99IMG.zip method as advised, or using fastboot (search for guides)
-reboot back into recovery, full wipe and nandroid restore.
If not, can you explain to me how to do root to my phone?

You don't need to root your phone any more. Any custom ROM will already be rooted.
