Never had problems in the past flashing radios.

Tried removing the SIM card, Flashed the radio ROM once again, Booted, Turned it off, Put the SIM card back, Turn it on. but the result is the same. Not working.

And no, I didn't use any theme.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Funny..Multiquote in XDA seems broken!

Thanks, guys..

I'll patch it up and see if it works.

I have to say though that by first impressions, Lee seems to have done the exact same thing I did 5 days ago.. The ext4.ko is still a seperate module, and loading it followed by mount was causing Bootloops. Still I'll check by flashing..

Building SB now.. So will revert in some time.

Thank you both

Couttstech kernel "couttstech-2.6.32.33_OC1190_BFS_DEADLINE_SLQB" is almost working.

Wifi = Works

BT = Works

3G/H = Works

All settings in setcpu work

Quadrant Work as it should

Camera/Streaming video/sd card playback of videos are still white screen with audio:(...

Well it almost worked.

@droidzone I was curious so I re made my ext4 partion today and tried to flash Leedroid 3.03 but I cab confirm it causes boot loops so didn't work

Sent from my Ginger Desire
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I expected that. Sibere thinks an additional module might be dependant..

The one Lee posted is the same as the one I built...I've been experimenting with the placement of insmod/modprobe thinking that might be the issue, but nothing seems to work, so probably the module itself is faulty..

for your info guys, got data2sd (EXT3) working manually on SN but didn't have enough time to test a boot script yet.

[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Well Done Sibere :D

I'm currently testing various roms and there is nothing like good stable rom with data2sd.
[Desire Android Development] AP0ll0UK:
I'm looking for a new stable rom, coming from RcMix HD and getting a bit tired of having to clean down my phone due to lack of storage.

This rom looks like it's worth a go because of Data2SD [I've got a class 10 8GB SD] but am I likely to come up against any stability issues?
[Desire Android Development] venomrat:
You may want to take a look at the Starburst Rom also by droidzone.

As stated, this is an alpha and there will be bugs.

Starburst has been pretty stable for me.
[Desire Android Development] tebs:
I agree. I tried RCMixHD with Data2SD and found it very unstable. I have been using Starburst 1.3.3.5 for about a month now without any major issues. I have tried it with 2 different SD cards; 16Gb TakeMS C6 and 16Gb SanDisk C2. The Sandisk is nearly twice as fast with R/W speeds of 16/6Mb/s with SD speed boost. The TakeMS card was poor in comparison in the desire and my PC. Disappointed with the TakeMS card as I bought it specifically for the Starburst Data2SD rom. The company I bought if from Lowpricememory wont give me a refund for it despite its poor performance. So if you are in the UK be careful with this company! Cant comment on any other cards.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
I remember reading awhile back that among GB ROMs, only GingerVillain was the one that had camera working fine. Maybe GV's kernel can solve the camera problem.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Aosp kernel will not solve issue. You can get the camera back if you del the init.d script and re flash stock kernel.

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.

I am S-ON and i did curse for a while ;) but i managed to remove the titanium backup using adb.exe :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You needn't have cursed it. I've already uploaded a flashable zip for removing ti

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
DroidZone,

I know you want to keep this rom as stock as possible, but when you and Sibere will finish with the Data2SD, is there possibility for some graphical (maybe optional) tweaks as TV screen on and off animation or reboot menu etc? It's quite nice feature.

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] aca85:
@ dz : I've flashed it,works nicely :) stable as your Starburst rom,a bit lag sometimes,when fastly going from one app to another.

Main thing,i've flashed Cutts kernel : couttstech-2.6.32_OC1190_HAVS_CFS_DEADLINE_SLQB and it works fantastic! :) no bugs ,i have not tested all,cuz i dont have time,but BT,wifi,3g,cam,vid,vid steam,all work fine :)
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
says device not found?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Are you GSM or CDMA? I didn't think to ask and linked you the GSM. Otherwise, try this one and put it on your SD. Boot to recovery and flash it.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661319&stc=1&d=1311251519

Again, that's for a GSM only. Different file required for CDSM.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
gsm here, so i use the first one you linked right?
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Ok I'm using the oneclick flashable zip, and it keeps telling me "adb server is out of date *killing" haha...
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Yup, the one click flashable can be done from windows with the phone connected.

That's ok it did that with me too, it still worked.
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
Hi,

Another newbie here. I´ve currently got rscmix rom on my desire. I seen this supernova rom and thought it looked worth a try. Can anyone offer a comparison between the two? The reason I ask is I don´t really like transferring all the stuff off my sd card setting up the apps screens etc. I´m sure all this could be backed up but thats just something else I need to learn and I could transfer all the stuff in the same time. by the way I have a class 6 sd card for performance comparison (I love using big words!)

Also I think I need to change my hboot? (not exactly sure what that is) does doing this wipe any data etc. oh and I already have fat32 I think and ext4.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
How do we know if 4ext was flashed successfully as our permanent recovery?

I ran the batch file from one click, but when I boot into HBOOT, then choose BOOTLOADER and then RECOVERY, I still get the "red triangle" screen?

Is it supposed to go straight into 4ext once I select RECOVERY if it was successful?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Hi colinmc8 and welcome. Afraid I don't know anything about the RCMix rom being a starburst/supernova convert, but I can help. You need a stock hboot. You need to download mybackup pro and do a full backup. That will preserve sms/mms/contacts/home layout etc. Install Titanium backup and use that to backup all your apps.

Also, boot to recovery and do a nandroid backup before you do anything. Once all that is done, take a copy of your sd card to your PC. Now, no matter what happens, you can go back to where you are now.

If you are S-Off and on stock hboot (find out by turning off phone, hold down down volume button and power on) you can now put the rom only on your sd card, boot in to recovery, wipe the phone (you can try not wiping it it may work and keep your settings) flash the rom, let it boot, go through all wizards without filling anything out then reboot again. Check free space when it comes back up, you should have a GB.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution , yup, it should have gone straight in to 4extrecovery. Something has gone wrong, I've not seen a red triangle. I would download the second link I put up, drop that on your sd and try flashing it from recovery.

Duh, except you cant get to recovery can you? can you boot your phone at all?

Booce
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
I tried flashing the zip from 4extrecovery (which I ran thru using the update.zip fake flash version of 4ext), but I get this:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

LOL...

Is it because I was flashing it with 4extrecovery? lol.
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
Thanks for the quick reply, something I forgot to ask, I stated reading throught the thread, thought it was in beta then saw the date, april...is it still in beta, is the camera working?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution ,Lol I would imagine so. I have to warn you, I'm getting out of my depth here. It wasn't this hard for me. Not sure how to advise you to proceed. I'd update CWM to 2.7.0.1 if you can, then try flashing 4extrecovery from the CWM recovery.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
colinmc8 nah, droidzone has worked like a dog this week and used the official files for the build that came out 1st August. Camera works fine, as does everyhting else I have tested (sms/mms/vpn/cifs/internet/market/camera/gps/latitude). It's all good as far as I can see.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
I think I'll unroot my phone and root from scratch... :)

I've always gotten this red triangle every single time I enter RECOVERY, and I have to manually boot CWM's "update.zip". I'm guessing I should have been taken into CWM recovery as soon as I choose RECOVERY from the HBOOT. Something must have went wrong over a year ago haha... Hence why SuperNova ain't working for me.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution, sure sounds like something went bad way back when. Do you have rom manager installed on your phone? Can you boot up normally and run rom manager? If so, you can try reflashing the recovery from there. Otherwise, I think you're right, unroot and start from scratch.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Yeah I think I'll unroot and start from scratch. Since as long as I can remember, whenever I entered RECOVERY thru HBOOT, I would get the eery "red triangle", along with the words "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" in yellow...

I always assumed this was normal, but it appears like it's definitely not LOL.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
LOL. yeah definately not normal. A red triangle on my phone would have had me ****ting a brick! Unroot the sucker and start from scratch and enjoy a fully working phone ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That's because all this time you were on HTC recovery, from where you had been using fake flash to load a temporary recovery..

Are you open to the suggestion of doing an S-off? It's quite safe (safer than rooting anyway), and everything would be easier!
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution, droidzone is right. If I were you, I'd get hold of a copy of unrevoked and let that do the business recovery wise for you. It's what I used an it was simple.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
So is it safe for me to ignore that /cache/recovery/command error message then? I won't have to unroot and start from the very beginning?

I tried permanently flashing 4extrecovery, but it failed miserably. Is that a cause for concern?

Yes, I think I might S-Off. What is the quickest and most painless way? My Hboot is still 0.80.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Get over to unrevoked's website and it will show you exactly what to do. You'll need some drivers but all the links and instructions are on unrevoked's site.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
I'm downloading the the "reflash_package.exe" file for our Desires from the unrevoked website as I type this. Is that what you mean by a "copy of Unrevoked"? ;)

Here's hoping this will solve all of my many issues lol :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Yeah that's the puppy. I think you'll be pleased with the results :-) No more temporary recovery loading for you.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
i just finished flashing using unrevoked and when i go to recovery, its still cwm 2.5.0.1 :(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well that gives only root, but that should suffice

Swyped with my HTC Desire on Supernova Extreme Rom - Gingerbread goodness with Unlimited Internal Memory!

Ignore the typos, swype isn't perfect.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well did you choose the alternate recovery from unrevoked's menu?

Swyped with my HTC Desire on Supernova Extreme Rom - Gingerbread goodness with Unlimited Internal Memory!

Ignore the typos, swype isn't perfect.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
carlo0810, I think that's the version it gave me. It should be good enough to run the 4extrecovery flash though. Unrevoked is supposed to replace recovery with a custom recovery image rather than just root, at least as far as their docs claim ;-)

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
yup replaced the image with recovery from one of the zips on 4ext thread...then unrevoked said running root an then your firmware too new...i unchecked the disable secutiry/...
[Desire Android Development] booce:
carlo0810, If I were you, I'd hit my phone up with an older froyo RUU to get it stock unrooted. Then I'd unrevoke it. Then I'd 4extrecovery flash it. Part your card (if it's not already).Flash your radio. Then I'd SuperNova it. That should see you right.

(Ahhh, so easy to say, several hours work to do :-) )

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
any ruu will work?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Not the august gingerbread one whatever you do! Any of the older wwe RUU for froyo should be ok.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hang on, an RUU isnt needed! You didnt answer me if you're ok with S-offing it.. You can get it ready in minutes not hours.. :)
[Desire Android Development] P0yraz:
and guys by the way I am from Iran, how about our language does it shows our characters on phone or should I find some other files for it?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Heh, listen to droidzone, he knows way more than me.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
I'm up for it :) I just dunno how to S-Off it though... Too many different methods around the place lol...

If you could kindly explain how to do it? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Sure..Just dont deviate from instructions :)

Do you have another sdcard which has only fat32?
[Desire Android Development] atuladhikari:
droidzone Next time when u put up a new ROM, instead f writing instuctions...

Use Flow Chart, that would make things a lot simpler for the guys...
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
I'm also not sure if I should RUU or not... I flashed SuperNova from scratch, booted it, ran Unrevoked, but one of the steps includes rebooting. I get the pink LED of death after a reboot... So even perma-flashing recovery with Unrevoked is a no go for me... :(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Maybe you can find time to make one for the thread? I'll gladly add it and add credits.. :)
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Damn it. Left my spare SD card in New Zealand lol... :( Didn't think I'd need it...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No problem.

Is your phone recognized by windows? Are the htc drivers installed?
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Yes. I just installed the drivers earlier this evening.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
ok with s-off as well as long as its faster, dont wanna go thru unrooting and rooting again

--btw, im still on HBOOT .80, since i read that revolutionary is for hboot .93...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ok, do the following:

Gparted->Delete the ext partition, and format it as one big Fat32 partition

Goto this site: http://revolutionary.io/

Download the software for windows, input your device serial number and get the key for your device

With the sdcard containing one fat32 partition only, install any other rooted rom without a2sd/data2sd-Teppic's Rom or the older StarBurst Standard/Lite should be fine

After booting after Rom installation, connect your cable to pc in windows, and run the revolution exe file downloaded in step2.

Input the key and allow the process to finish (At this point you get S-OFF)

When it's over, do one of the following:

Go to the folder where fastboot.exe is present, unzip the .img file of 4ext recovery into it, and execute this command in fastboot mode (Power off, then power on by pressing Back + Power button)

fastboot flash recovery 4extrecovery_name.img

2. Or you can put the PB99IMG.zip from 4ext thread, put it in root folder of sdcard and boot with Vol- and POwer button (like you do to enter recovery

3. When asked to update, choose yes. (At this point you get 4Ext recovery permanently flashed)

4. Install Rom and reboot (As for S-off users)

Congrats (in advance), that's it.

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Though steps seem longer, it's simpler and faster!
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Alright I'm gonna give this a whirl. Do you have a quick link to a non-A2SD/D2SD rom? Haha.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
False alarm. Managed to find Teppic's stock ROM thread :)
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
my hboot is .80, this wont work with me right?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
droidzone, I downloaded 2.0.1.1 again and created a new sd card. 4gb. 1 3gb fat32, 1 1gb ext4. Put the rom on the fat32. Wiped the phone, installed the rom and I still get the pink led. Where should I be downloading the fixed version from?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You're getting the pink LED on first boot? What did you wipe?
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
They're at droidzone's SuperNova download links page :) Same links as the old files, but if you notice, the file names are different.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
So far its been about 5 mins.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
+1. My HBOOT is v0.80. Same as it has always been since the day I took it out of the box :)

Will this revolutionary method still work for us?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Now I'm doubtful! :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Wouldn't a wwe RUU replace the hboot?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Describe more please.

Did you do a "Wipe data/factory reset" or did you do a selective wipe? Your cache should have been included in the wipe
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Sorry droidzone, "Wipe data/factory reset" only.
[Desire Android Development] duryard:
Hi. Thinking of giving this a whirl as Current rom is a bit laggy for me.

I am S-OFF CM7 r2 Hboot -6.93.1002.

Do I need to revert to stock hboot which was (I think) 0.83 PVT4 or something like that
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It should.. Fine, unroot it and then reroot it with unrevoked, choose the 4ext recovery this time, and dont untick the box to disable security
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Haha... Is there a simple way of upgrading HBOOT to 0.93?

I might revert back to my LeeDroid backup for now. Nearly 1am here in Melb and I have work tomorrow morning haha...

I'll be keeping a very close eye on this thread (not giving up hope yet!!), so please, if you have any other solutions, fire away!! :P
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, usually cache is part of that formatting. Wipe cache too, then another wipe data/factory reset and try again
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Good news, a wipe of the cache and a reboot, and I'm now past the why so serious and on the the Android screen of the script. Thanks droidzone.

And it's up ! Nice one.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution, I think if you wwe RUU http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869048 that then unrevoke it, you'll be on HBOOT 0.93.001 like me.

I think. No guarantees :-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Good. Remember I save all settings to cache, so the same thing can happen in reverse. If you ever wipe cache, you will lose data2sd and get stuck at the pink LED!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Correct, you can RUU the WWE 2.29.405 RUU and get that hboot

If you have a Class 2/Class 10 card, you might still experience lag. Yes, you need bravo hboot
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Alright. Downloading the RUU now :) I guess the steps will be:

1) Unroot with RUU

2) Root with Unrevoked

3) S-Off the way droidzone specified a few pages earlier

4) Wipe and flash SuperNova WITHOUT flashing Data2SD zip (because hopefully I should be S-Off by then)

Sound right? Haha :P
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Actually, if I root with Unrevoked, will I still need to flash a non-A2SD ROM before running the revolutionary.exe file? I'm assuming rooting with Unrevoked will leave me with a non-A2SD rooted ROM? :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution, if you RUU, then root with unrevoked, you should go for S-off too. Once you've rooted and S_offed, flash 4extrecovery and radio then you can go straight to Supernova.

One reboot after first and you'll have loads of space.

Damn, the list of software you need to do this from stock is getting quite extensive! Might be worth making a bundle and hosting it, as versions and links change all the time. Another thing for my to do list!

Right, off for some real life

Booce
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Haha cheers for all your help, Booce. See you here tomorrow no doubt haha.

Same goes to you too, droidzone. Appreciate the patient and assistance!! Hopefully S-Offing will sort out my problems ;)

Have a little problem there matey

My phone was second hand and rooted when I got it so not sure where to go from here to back to stock.

I did the s-off and cm r2 thing but a bit stumped now where to go to downgrade back to bravo hboot???

Oh and I think it was 0.93 pvt4 thingy

Can I Just do http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Go to http://alpharev.nl/

Download Bravo stock hboot from there and install:

fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img

You have to do it in fastboot mode (Back+Power)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You dont need to root with unrevoked!

Revolution will both root and S-off it for you. After that, as described, flash the recovery from fastboot, partition correctly and flash rom and reboot. Simple!
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
HAHA cheers for clearing that up for me. Saved me a fair bit of time :P

So I can just run Revolution directly right after RUUing, and then I'll be rooted and S-Offed? :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well strictly speaking you will not be rooted but S-off. But then you can flash the custom recovery, which is the definition of Rooting. At that point you will still have stock rom, so apps wont get root rights. But when you subsequently flash any rooted rom, you will be "Rooted". But the first step implies the rest, so yes.. he he :D
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
By the way, I just realised something that I should have clarified with you guys.

When partitioning with Gparted, Are both the Fat32 and Ext4 partition to be PRIMARY? Or should Fat32 be PRIMARY and the Ext4 partition be LOGICAL? Because I think I've been formatting both as PRIMARY...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Both primary
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Haha damn... Thought I found out where I went wrong :P
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
just finished ruu and root, but unfortunately didnt read your post saying that revolutionary can root as well, used unrevoked, now have permanent 4ext as recovery, however im tryig to s-off now using revolutionary and it stuck at waiting for device...still on the ruu that was rooted by unrevoked

--caroline failed :(
