Best advice so far, it's no biggie to partition your SD card via your PC which does away with the risk entirely. If you want to trust Clockwork or any other partitioner on your phone fair enough but the risk of partitioning the wrong disk is presen wether through bugs or user error.
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
So right it was mentioned here before by they jkoljo are one and the same, as you pointed out. Rom Manager is the graphical interface but it is all done in cwm.
[Desire HD Android Development] baltazar.nilsson:
Anyone who knows if this issue exist in the erlier clockwork versions??

Like 2.5.1.3?? Cause I partitioned my phone in that version and it went ok, except the phone can´t seem to find the ext partition...

But I formated the SD on my computer first and then did the partition..
[Desire HD Android Development] UpInTheAir:
I formatted & created fat32 & ext3 a few times today using 2.5.1.3. I did it as always through cwm recovery, not ROM manager.
[Desire HD Android Development] onlytaxz:
just got my dhd back from htc today. they replaced the board.
[Desire HD Android Development] Sybregunne:
It seems for bricked phones you need to open it, remove the board and connect it to a JTAG box. You can then wipe the whole NAND and flash a new ROM via JTAG and a PC

Honestly since the earliest DHD's sold were in Late 2010 (November here in SG) and it is still early 2011 the best bet would be to send it for warranty (which is generally one year from purchase date) Less hassle. and no voided warranty since they cannot turn on the phone to check if you've been messing around with it.
[Desire HD Android Development] vikkoo:
Success!

Today I used 3.0.2.6 to partition my SD and it worked fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] unhallowedone:
Well I'm guessing I will see that in the near future, my phone is gone since over a week and I had to make a change of phone on warranty, because "it just won't start anymore". Gotta admit: even if you guys manage to partition the SD using 3.0.2.6 I am too shocked to ever use the tool for this again :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
Well, I don´t understand where´s the source of 3.0.2.6 because looking into the code seems that they went directly from 3.0.2.5 --> 3.0.2.7

i have used ROM Manager to Partition SD card, and like everyone else, my DHD is bricked. i used LeeDroid ROM, with Root and S off only. i am going to the company i bought the device from, and tell them that the device won't start at all. i hope they either fix it or replace it. thank you very much. peace out.

if any solution comes out, PLEASE contact me

[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
Do not ever use ROM MANAGER to partition a SD card, why do people read this and do it anyways?????? Boggles my mind!!
[Desire HD Android Development] Android_Asim:
because my friend i did NOT read and then partitioned, i did it without reading. there should have been some warning in the newest CWM.

one more thing, it seems that developers (with ALL do respect) are trying to fix the issue when you are trying to make a partition. my question is: why don't you guys think of a way to Un-Brick the DHDs that are bricked due to this issue??

"qhsusb_dload" should mean something.......
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
My comment were not meant for you and I am sorry if u felt picked on, my thoughts are with you and sympathy as it sucks to be in your predicament...my comments are for those people that are considering even using the latest Rom Manager we still seem to be getting bricked devices!!... so stay away from this practice to any others reading this and considering doing this...NO NO NO...
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
As far as I know the problem is that the CM recovery had a terrible bug. But not ROM manager. It has nothing to do with Rom Manager, does it?

So the critcs should be in the direction of getting a free-of-bugs & well tested recovery, not in criticising Rom Manager.
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
They are one and the same rom manager is the grapihical interface for cwm. Do not use either one. If you think it is okay to use either one they u will end up with a brick. Good luck.
[Desire HD Android Development] Android_Asim:
i handed my phone to my company with the warantee. they made me wait for 2 hrs then the guy came up to me and asked what did i do to the phone. i said nothing, i woke up this morning and found it this way. he said we will keep it for 2 days to see how to fix it......................
[Desire HD Android Development] zepp3lin:
Bro, both CWM and Rom manager came from the same Dev. By using rom manager meaning its graphical interface and later will still boot into CWM. Rom manager is just a face cover to CWM.

Has anyone tried the reset using the resisters and the usb connection? Did it work? I found several references to it in other threads, but none idicated success or failure on the desire/inspire.
[Desire HD Android Development] Android_Asim:
what do you mean resisters? can u explain???
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
I think this is not the correct thread to talk about "resistors". Please, consider openning a specific thread and keep this only for it´s purpose: the problems with ClockworkMod.
[Desire HD Android Development] boufa:
I disagree. It was mentioned in an earlier post as a possible solution to the direct side effects of center and this specific issue. On a similar device they had success with the method. So it is 100% related to the conversation at hand.

For those who ate searching for answers on this issue, the resistor fix does not seem to work on our devices. I have to imagine that there is a way into the deep level memory in order to reinstall the bootloader that is deleted via this gem bug. I however could not find it.
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
OK. Thanks for the details. I didn´t know there was a method involving resistors to this issue. No problem, then. I hope you could find a good solution.
[Desire HD Android Development] Android_Asim:
yo guys wussup

they have just replaced my old phone for a new one, FOR FREEEEEE

the only real solution would be to hand it over to you carrier, and wait 1-2 weeks so that they figure out the phone is beyond repair, and they will replace it for you. they will not figure out it was rooted, but they will ask A LOT OF QUESTIONS to put the blame on you. always say, i did nothing, by itself it has stopped working, and now i want you to fix it for me.

for @jkolyo

@jkolio, mate, I have a little ot question 4 ya.

Before flashing a rom, I always do format from mounts and storage (system,data,cache) I don't trust in full wipe tool:D than I do wipe data factory reset to remount the partition...my question is: recoveries 3.0.x.x. are able to recognize ext4?? I'll try to explain myself better...doing fromat from mounts and storage ensure us a complete and clean installation even if we are using an ext4 element (a kernel for example)??? Or we NEED a script wich makes recovery able to recognize ext4'??? What's the difference between ext3 and 4?? It's just a matter of journaling? Or..what elese??? Thanks mate, I trust u...and I'm waiting for your precious answer:)

Best wishes
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
The recovery has native support for ext4. The filesystems are cross compatible, so you can actually mount the other one as other. Do not worry about it, ROM chefs usually take care of filesystem for you.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
thanks mate:D your suggestions are always useful:D

Ok i just installed leedroid rom and then followed his instructions to partition sd card, i downloaded rom manager from market today then went to partition sd card, my phone is now bricked, wish i knew what i know now. Never try this, i bought this phone second hand so i hope its still in warrant and i get away with it.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
It should definitely be under warranty. In Europe, there is a mandatory 2 year warranty period on such devices regardless of whether you are the first owner or not. The only thing to watch out is that the device should not have signs of excessive physical abuse or water damage.
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
What version of ROM Manager and Revery caused the brick? Do you remeber? I mean, a recently downloaded ROM Manager musn have this bug fixed.
[Desire HD Android Development] Siru5:
Hi All,

This just happened to myself. Sadly.

Not sure yet if my phone is bricked as I do see there are numerous reports of peoples phones coming back alive after waiting and this and that. I've done as many of the short term stuff to get it working again, but alas nothing. So I'm now on the waiting with the battery out for the last bit of hope that it will work again.

I followed LeeDrOiD's install, but had the issue of not being able to download anything from the market. So decided to add the A2SD+, which is when I clicked the partition SD card in Rom Manager. Just before clicking that though I did plug it in to mains(power). Clicked the format, it restarted, started the process, was all happy, i came back and it was off.

My details.

Phone: HTC Desire HD

Rom Manager: V3xxxxxx (I dont clearly remember the full version number. unfortunately could not update from the market as it was not working, default one that is in LeeDrOiD's? if that makes any sense)

CWM: V3.0.2.6 (That was the flashed version)

SD Card: 16GB Kingston

ROM: LeeDrOiD V3.0.3

Rooted with Visionary+ r14.

Radio S-OFF.

Hope this helps in some way to identify the problem.

Thanks for any advice in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hmm, so LeeDroid ROM comes with ROM Manager that has the ability to brick a device..? Not cool. You should send a PM to Lee, so that he knows to update his software.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mash23:
Lees 3.0.3 still contains the Rom manager 3.0.2.6 I think but it has been updated to newest (4.3.1.0 if I'm not mistaken) in Rom version 3.1.0.

Weird I think it was the CWM that were below 3.0.2.6 that bricked the devices not Rom Manager itself :(
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
Can u explain me better @jkolio..why he has bricked his phone? With 3.0.2.6 the problem has been fixed am I right???

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well it seems that old ROM Manager has the ability to write bad stuff into the phone without real fault in the ClockworkMod itself. I have never seen this issue before, though.
[Desire HD Android Development] stuart0001:
I think the issue is the old ROM manager will install the dreaded 3.0.2.5 cwm as it thinks that is the newest.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
I have 4.3.0.1 rom manager version..probably is the latest...is it dangerous? Can u mention what (in your opinion) are the dangerous rom manager version?

However...not format your sd card through recovery is always the best way to avoid this kind of issue right?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I consider 3.x versions dangerous. But to be honest, I lost my trust in more advanced functions of cwm.. And the more you dig, the more bugs you find in cwm.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
When u say 3.x,x,x, u mean recovery not rom manager right?;-)

So my habits are good..I've never trust in rom manager;-) I always do all stuff in recovery and format my sd card with my laptop..I only use rom manager to update recovery...any other suggestion mate?

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You asked about rom manager version, so I answered. I am not talking about cwm versions. Just format via PC and it should be fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
ok;) thanks mate:D;)
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
Summarizing from the last 2 pages:

+ duarab said that used an up-to-date ROM Manager downloaded from Market and bricked his phone

+ Siru5 said that used ROM Manager v3.x & CWM V3.0.2.6 and bricked his phone

As duarab doesn´t know/remeber his CWM version, we only have ONE testimony stating that the culprit of the bricks is the ROM Manager, not the CWM.

With a lot of respect, this isn´t enought for me. I still trust in the fact that CWM is the piece that makes all the job (so the bug shuold is there), and that: 1.- it doesn´t matter the version of ROM Manager you have (because this is only a front-end), and 2.- If you upgrade to v3.0.2.6 you will be safe.

Other testimonies will be wellcomed.
[Desire HD Android Development] Siru5:
elreymon I pretty much agree with all that you said.

Im not exactly sure though how ROM Manager interfaces with CWM if at all really, other than telling the phone to reboot into a specific mode of CWM. If there are other parameters passed from ROM Manager to CWM then it stands that those could be the culprit of the brick. Possibly the combination of them could cause it.

You mention that if one upgrades to v3.0.2.6 of CWM I take it, then they would be safe. The problem with that statement is that I was running v3.0.2.6 of CWM and it still happened.

So if someone could possibly explain the relationship between ROM Manager and CWM a little more, for a definite rule out of the combination of them being the problem.

EDIT: My phone is still in for repairs, they havent given any details yet on what they are going to do.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
I'm sorry for ure phone;-( but we don't have a real problem here for two reasons: first of all, it's just completely unuseful partitioning SD card in desirehd..we have a lot of internal memory..it's just enough..ain't no any kind of advantage doing things like this...second, never never format your SD card when it still inside the dhd...always do it with ure laptop..it's better and safer both for ure dhd and its SD card..however..we still have more than one brik..so if @jkolio could ask @koush about this issues...

[Desire HD Android Development] Siru5:
Im still new to the scene, but i thought that A2SD+ made the phone quicker? which i what i was trying to accomplish when doing the formating.

Also on a UP though, They have fix my phone, will be picking it up later. not sure if they have replaced it or what, but will add that here once i've gotten it.
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
Siru5 I totally agree with you. It would be great to know the relation (=interfaces) between ROM Manager & CWM.

In the other hand I´d like @koush to give some kind of indication or information to the community in that way.

We can discuss the usefull of formatting the SD card in the DHD, but this is not the main point. I mean, the problem here is the bug (and the risk that comes with it). If the formattion option exists, then it must work without causing the device brick.
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
I thought this too when I first got my DHD, and I set up an sd-ext partition as well as a swap partition, but the information I'd read was based on older Android phones. (This was last year when the DHD first came out.)

A2SD+ uses a partition on your SD card as an extension to the phone's internal memory. It moves apps there to free up internal memory. I'm not an expert on flash memory, but it's very unlikely that your SD card will be faster than the internal flash memory, so A2SD+ will probably make your phone slower, not faster. Also, the DHD has loads of internal memory, so unless you're installing a very large number of apps, you should have plenty of space and there's no need to use A2SD+. Why have lots of internal memory and not use it?

On older phones with less internal memory, such as the original Desire, A2SD+ is much more useful.

I know some people like A2SD+, but I think that they are mainly those who have really large numbers of apps installed. I don't really want to get into a debate about the benefits of A2SD+, although of course if there are any technical errors in what I've posted, I hope someone will correct them. I just thought it might be helpful to explain a bit. :)

I just had this happen to me this morning. I flashed the radio the day it came out and never had issues until now. Now my 3G is just stuck in a constant upload and I'm unable to download any data at all. I have my mobile data turned off for now until I figure out wtf it is..

I was streaming Pandora at the time it cut out. Hopefully it's just a glitch or a bad app or something..

All of these issues make me think mistakenly not flashing the new radio wasn't such a bad idea...

I'm currently running BAMF v.1.5 and I forgot/goofed up updating the radio. Everything seems to be working OK although I'm not in an LTE area right now and I only did it last night. If the radio leaks are anything like the old Droid 1 leaks, when the actual OTA is launched it often has a completely different radio than the leaks. I'll be waiting to upgrade the radio until I hear that these types of problems are rare.

Sorry mods, for creating a double topic.

I previously asked the same question on 16th march 2011. but it was completely get UN-answered. So asking again.

Hello all,

I want to mount my 500 gb and 1tb NTFS formatted hard disk into Adam. I have tried almost all available ROMS, which states that they support ntfs, but couldnt get success in mounting it, like Beast ROM.

I asked the same question in Beast rom thread in Development, and the reply i got by josh4trunk was

su

mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

but this command does nothing to me.

I am not a techno geek like most of you (instead i am Doctor).

so i dont understand much of the linux commands.

Can anyone tell me in a simplified way, how to mount NTFS and in which ROM i can do it?

P.S. - Please dont say that adam cant mount more than 128 gb hard disk, like it was said previously in Beast rom discussion thread.

I want quote that -

Perf-Update by StephenH Did Mount the NTFS hard disk - both 500 gb and 1 tb.

but it screwed other things like media scanning etc.

at present i m using this tweak only. and i cant enzoy the other ROMS built by you. because i am unable to mount ntfs in them.

so please help.

thanks

gscript made my work easy. i tested only in Beast v2.2.

others searching the same, this is the exact command for mounting -

mount -t ntfs -o umask=000 /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

and to unmount -

umount /usbdisk

- use gscript for easiness.
