ooopppsss sooorrryy my bad!! :) now i just realized :)

do i need to flash with bravo recovey?
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Read the first post completely please. I have explained everything there in as much detail as possible. Also, if you are using the stock ROM, I wouldn't really recommend this because the Stock ROM is much "heavier" and needs far more space.

I tried to make mtd partition and follow every step!!!Now my wildfire don't boot!!!Just stuck on te startup screen!!!I tried to restore the old rom and again stuck!!!I trie to return back to stock with RUU exe but its tell me USB connection between PC ana phone not establish??? PLASE HELP!!!:(:(:(
[Wildfire Android Development] saadislam:
You need to flash the boot file after flashing any rom.. otherwise it wont boot. It will also stuck if the system size is smaller than the required size for the rom.
[Wildfire Android Development] turbo_jaboka:
My previous ROM was Rem_Puzzle.With the busybox df command i see that the rom used 188072 and cache is only 27 used from 40.So i set the numbers for mtb 200 30.I think that the is becose is sense based rom.I read the warning so i decided to try and nothing is happen.Then try with CM7 and stuck again.So i will try one more time and will see what will hapen :)

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I still see only startup screen.Wait about 20 min already.The numbers are mtd 250 40 like the original.How long reboots after this ????
[Wildfire Android Development] saadislam:
Check your .txt file. There should not be any extra space or extra line. Flash recovery file then format system, cache and data. Now go to advanced and reboot recovery. Now flash your rom. Then flash boot file and reboot.
[Wildfire Android Development] saadislam:
If you want to return to stock, flash recovery via fastboot method. You can get the recovery from wildfire index. Extract and copy the .img file to fastboot folder. Open folder in cmd and type ' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ' it will say something like sending recovery, writing recovery and lastly all done. Now format system, cache and data to get stock partitions.
[Wildfire Android Development] turbo_jaboka:
If i see you man i will buy you a very big beer :D finaly everything is normal. :) Thanks.
[Wildfire Android Development] saadislam:
Glad to see that you got it working.
[Wildfire Android Development] HipHopBlond:
I don't know why's the dude complaining... I got it working from the first time with no problems a month ago... You just gotta be careful and read between the lines ;)

Well time passed, a new update for for the Cyanogenmod got out (yes I'm still sticking to CM7) I installed it and forgot the most important thing from this thread:

"When you flash a new ROM/Restore a Nandroid Backup, you WILL lose the new settings ("partially"). To overcome this, after flashing your new ROM, flash the bravo-boot-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip attachment immediately after flashing the ROM/Restoring the backup before restarting your device. This will again give you the new partitions. If you fail to do this step, you will be stuck on the White HTC Screen."

With big red letters and ****... I mean... how could somebody miss it!? Luckily I had my **** backed up, so I restored it, got the bravo-boot-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip installed the update all over again, installed the bravo-boot, rebooted (took it damn 10 minutes with the new update), but I was pass the HTC white screen WITH the new update.

Moral of the story: READ BETWEEN THE DAMN LINES!

Thank you 3xeno for the tutorial and for explaining evereything perfectly!

I'm really low on cash atm so I can't donate you any money, but please be kind enough to accept this potato as a sighn of how thankful I am :p

[Wildfire Android Development] atomicmak:
I am new to this and i have CM latest nightly installed. I was thinking to completely wipe everything and install one stable to test one more.

Now I did once this MTD and wish to start from 0 to do again say if i want to try CM9 for just test and do the mtd as per that what should I do ?

Which steps to follow to reset mtd ? wipe everything and install cm9?

Please help.
[Wildfire Android Development] saadislam:
If you want to return to stock, you will have to reflash recovery via fastboot. Just download the recivery from wildfire index and flash it via fastboot.

Alternatively, you can use 'mtd 200 10' for cm9.
[Wildfire Android Development] T3nd3rB33£:
you need to reinstall cwm, if you go to 3xeno's complete guide in dev section you'll find instructions on how to do this by fastboot or by pc49img which you put on root of your sd card, boot your phone into hboot by powering off then holding vol down then power button, after hboot has found and img it will ask if you want to install. Press vol up to confirm
[Wildfire Android Development] T3nd3rB33£:
My bad. Don't know how I didn't see your reply :)
[Wildfire Android Development] mohamed.qadiqadi:
CM9

will this work with cm9?
[Wildfire Android Development] lo2ay:
yeah it works for CM9, but the system partition will be bigger. I use 190 for system and 10 for cache.

What should be the ideal MTD partiton for the Wildfire "CM 7.2 Stable" ?

[mtd 140 5] was working well with "CM Nightly"but i think for "CM 7.2 Stable" system partition should be bigger.

What it should be ?Anybody tried that ?

Any suggestions ?
[Wildfire Android Development] thyl_:
Mine is 130 15 and is working well (CM 7.2 estable)
[Wildfire Android Development] titochan:
wfs compatibility..??

will this work 4 the wfs..??

And I am thinking of using this method to increase the cache partition(currently 35Mb-stock rom) to more than 50Mb..

this should let me install currently incompatible apps and games from the google play store(as they compare cache required with system cache to check compatibility and current maximum cache size on play store is 50Mb)...

Direct me in the right direction pls...
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
It depends on the size of the ROM you are running on your device.

Do you have rooted device ?

Please read the first post carefully.
[Wildfire Android Development] titochan:
yep unlocked bootloader,rooted,cwm installed..everything..just confirming since its written for htc wildfire..

i am gonna try it anyways and update the results..till then :good:..
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
Okay,install FreeSpace from the market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.freespace&hl=en

Check the space used by system and cache.

Increase the cache partition keeping that in mind.

System space should be "Size of the ROM +atleast 10MB buffer"
[Wildfire Android Development] titochan:
thanks !! also hit u one..
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
CM 7.2 Stable is running well with [mtd 140 15].

I would suggest that you keep the system partition 140MB,I have never tried lower than that.Though "thyl_" says( #312) he is using [mtd 130 15].Guess that's the lowest limit.

ok.

i have unlocked bootloader with htcdev.com software.

now i have hboot version 1.02.0000

that says UNLOCKED S-0N.

This will not work? :(

and i assume that's not possible to downgrade this hboot :(
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
Haven't looked into the other suggestions - I've done it long ago with the method in my sig and it still works fine on the 7.2 stable ;)

Swyped from my HTC Wildfire (Buzz)

--- EDIT ---

Well I guess I should leave to post when in a hurry - just been confused by all those links to other threads LOL - actually I've used the method described in this thread here. So what exactly "didn't work"? Can you be more specific about errors?

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

I'm afraid that won't work. As said before you can''t do custom partitions without s-off.

Regarding the downgrade I have no idea.
[Wildfire Android Development] marcellen:
I'm just not able to do it... phone goes into boot loop..

There must be something wrong with my phone, maybe depending my HBOOT?
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
nah, I don't think it has to do with your HBOOT (same here).

What CWM version are you using? The tutorial says "Preferably a version in which you know Nandroid Restore works without issues". Furthermore "Do not use ROM Manager to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. Use HBoot" - did you do so?

Have you been careful not to leave any chars in the mtdpartmap.txt file (Windows line breaks etc.) just "mtd" followed by the two numbers?

Did you do the calculations for the partitions right?

Did you carefully follow all steps in "Step 2" in the right order including to reboot Recovery/CWM between flashing the first file and restoring the nandroid backup?

I'm not yet fully convinced but I recently did expect some trouble with wiping in CWM - it probably helps to retry the procedure or install a different version (what I've also done when I've had a different problem - custom mtds just worked like a charm and still do)

HTH :fingers-crossed:
[Wildfire Android Development] marcellen:
What CWM version are you using? The tutorial says "Preferably a version in which you know Nandroid Restore works without issues". Furthermore "Do not use ROM Manager to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. Use HBoot" - did you do so?

-> I'm using CM7.2 and CM9 (unofficial). CM9 is giving more quickly the boot loop, but CM7.2 is also having the issue after a few second/minutes of the startup.

Have you been careful not to leave any chars in the mtdpartmap.txt file (Windows line breaks etc.) just "mtd" followed by the two numbers?

-> Yes.

Did you do the calculations for the partitions right?

-> I used 200 20 as setup.

Did you carefully follow all steps in "Step 2" in the right order including to reboot Recovery/CWM between flashing the first file and restoring the nandroid backup?

-> Here is something strange, I can't get rid of recovery ClockWorkMod v4.0.1.4, whenever I try to update it, and reboot recovery, it goes to that older recovery.

I'm not yet fully convinced but I recently did expect some trouble with wiping in CWM - it probably helps to retry the procedure or install a different version (what I've also done when I've had a different problem - custom mtds just worked like a charm and still do)

-> Maybe I could try then with an older CWM... when I have time to reset everything I will give a try.

Thanks for the help so far!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
you haven't answered that one... ;) (no I'm not a bean counter but following tuts explicitly in all the details did help me a lot in the past LOL)

just out of curiosity: did you try to install a new version with ROMmanager? That doesn't work - same goes with flashing. Look into the complete wildfire index thread where it says "6: Custom Recoveries" - and "How to Install a new Clockworkmod Recovery Image?" (I used method 3 - but remember to delete/move the file from your SD Card's root afterwards)
[Wildfire Android Development] marcellen:
Furthermore "Do not use ROM Manager to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. Use HBoot" - did you do so?

-> Yes, I did also that one..

The other question, I will try now and let you know !
[Wildfire Android Development] marcellen:
I tried with method 3) to flash recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip, but I got v4.0.1.4 instead !!
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
Yes, that reminds me that I wanted to go deeper into that: You downloaded the ready PC49IMG.zip? Because the same happened to me and I'd assume that's just by accident: someone wanted to upload the 5.0.2.0 but took the wrong file (because they're all named the same instead of the img files).

For me it didn't matter as I did this update only to install a different one. But that seems to be exactly the version you had before - so all you have to do is: open the PC49IMG.zip file, delete the .img file and put the original 5.0.2.0 in there (Not sure if you have to rename it to "recovery.img" though - maybe).

Sorry I forgot about that :D
[Wildfire Android Development] marcellen:
%$&$%%ç$%$%ç$%$$ it was a wrong file, with your suggestion it worked !!! The recovery is now updated.

But still problem with MTD partition though..
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
glad that worked

you could try to flash a fresh 7.2 stable first instead of restoring your nandroid backup - just to make sure, it hasn't to do with the ext partition or s2e. If this doesn't help: I'm afraid to run out of ideas (besides retrying again). If it works without reboots: try to make a partial restore of data only ;) (if not you should go with backing up your apps with TB and do a fresh SD partition & install of s2e)
[Wildfire Android Development] dcamanni:
Thanks, everything was done successfully. I have CM7.1 and CWM 5.0.2.8, and configured as MTD 200 20
[Wildfire Android Development] NeXT1001:
I have questions. Can i try do this if i have CWM 5.0.2.8 and ICS ROM (aokp milestone 6)?
[Wildfire Android Development] Wasimk32:
Yes of course.Aokp takes 183MB on sysytem,and you can have cache value of your choice,I use 190 20 on aokp.
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
it means if you want to revert your custom mtd partitions you have to do this procedure

Why don't you try to search one of the CM9 threads to find out...

Or just look into the OP (e.g. of ErwinP.'s port):

MTD partion size

With tiny gapps, /system takes 181 mb -> I use 200 mb to be confortable

With tiny gapps /cache takes 1.2 mb

(BTW: If you search this thread for e.g. "custom mtd" you get a bunch of posts with ppl's settings)

Really, if you don't want to or can't read or don't understand what you're doing - why do you try out things? Do you like Russian Roulette also? :confused:

Looking into your posts it turns out that you might have problems to understand even any basics. But instead of trying to learn, to understand how things work, you seem to try out all the stuff you stumble against - just to mess up any- or everything in the end. Then you come back with your problem, not letting us know what exactly your problem is. Furthermore you seem to not to respond to any questions of other members to understand your problem. Instead you open new threads for the same problem in another section of the forum - you mess up your phone, you mess up the forum, you're not willing to learn, you ignore questions and suggestions. You shouldn't be too surprised if nobody is willing to help you anymore.

If you're not able to understand anything you're doing with your phone you should stay away from that. You'd probably feel better and it would free up the time of all the voluntary forum members for helping people who are a bit more thankful and value the help they get in here (and accept the fact, that this is not a user help desk but a place where you can kindly ask for help but shouldn't expect to get help for every problem - or poop or missing socks...)

Regarding your problem - a perfect example for things mentioned above: If the custom mtd partitions didn't work for you could you please tell us, how it came to your mind to revert to stock - why did you do that? Just for fun? Because you thought you should give us yet another challenge?

Regarding a solution for your problem: it's all in the forums here - just use the search. I'm not willing to do it for you (anymore) - besides giving you a last hint: if you still can boot into recovery your phone is not bricked (although I'm not sure if that wasn't just better for you and us).

Have a nice weekend - good luck!

#eventcom lol welcome to groundhog days. very good comments, exactly what needed to be said.

this will be my 1st and last post on this issue. no links will be provided as im out of spoons for feeding today.

10 easy,childproof steps for mtds

1.you need the 2 bravo files, A.bravo recovery B.bravo boot files.

2.using a file manager (esfile) create a new file (not a folder) on the root of your sdcard named mtdpartmap.txt with your values needed example - 240 40 nothing else but these 2 values.

3.boot into cwm recovery (not rom manager) wipe system/factory restore. wipe cache, (from advanced) wipe dalvikcache,(from mounts and storage) format system,data,cache.

4.flash bravo recovery file.

5.format system,data,cache again (from mounts and storage)

6.reboot recovery (from advanced menu)

7.restore your nandroid/ flash rom

8.flash bravo boot file

9.reboot

10. now leave your phone alone,its clear you dont have a clue!
