I'm a bit far from my PC to check but i hope this is helpful.

But if I'm correct k2 is 2.8MB while k3 is 3.1MB so I'm guessing it's just a 100kb difference.

Hope this helps

I think you are right. boot.img is exactly 3.00MB. So the image can be 3.00MB or less, all above will fail.

It seems to be possible to repartition the desire, also the boot partition! So maybe we get this nasty k3 thing fixed.

I tried the ROM but I'm not able to flash the k3 kernel, only k2.

What do you think about using "/dev/block/mtdblock5 427.6M", maybe combined with storage on the "SD-Card" for installing gaps on it, opengaps purely fails (I think because internal system is only 5MB without sd-partition).

I hope my researches are helpful :)
[Desire Android Development] V3ctorX:
*i feel like a fat kid with candy dancing, *

I read through the threads and it seems the desires lifespan just got increased, so based on the above information it should be relatively possible to make a 4-6MB boot partition and also increase the recovery partition likewise.

Looking forward to this.
[Desire Android Development] V3ctorX:

[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
I checked all of the links, but only the first one might contain a little hope for Desire folks. But I could be wrong because this thread is from 2010 and who knows if the underlying concepts still work with the current Android generation.

The mods from the other links are about resizing partition layout for system, cache and data, only. That's nothing useful for our core problem..

Alright, let's take it step by step, to see what can be achieved, and what not. [emoji6]

Fastboot Works on Win10

If it can be useful, I upload here a .reg file to enable fastboot on Win10.

It works in Win8 and Win8.1

I can't upload as .reg, then you need to rename it as .reg:

It's content is:

This would mean 10MB for recovery and 10MB for Kernel.

with that recovery loaded I am able to flash the recovery ( adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-bravo-twrp-k2.img ) without error.

But this will not lead in a bootable recovery :(

In the Motorola Xoom - Forum there was a similar repartitioning done.

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997)

They are able to boot ROMs with a modified recovery.img and a modified boot.img too.

Mabe that is another way to get further...
[Desire Android Development] mcsty:
I followed carefully all steps and finally I installed kernel v2, but it can't boot. It freeze at startup and keeps showing the splash logo.

What can I try/check?

Repartitioning internal memory to be able to install kernel v3?

SDcard manufacturer for compatibility with kernel?

Something else?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Nice idea, but when you do "fastboot boot" it is only temporary and not persistent.

I think I did it, here is a shrinked k3 boot.img: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24566454284189894

Enjoy, please let me know if it works.. ;)

fyi [MENTION=1009113]mcsty[/MENTION]
[Desire Android Development] chrrh:
The idea with the modified recovery was, to do the first repartitioning with the temporary modified filesystem and after that boot the new layout with an kernel modified the same.

Unlikely the boot- and recovery-partition is not changable from running recovery :(

The only way possible seems to be a hacked hboot with different sizes for boot and recovery.

But anyway, your new kernel is booting fine :good:.

So desire is working again with latest android :)
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
You should be aware that hboot does not include all partitions. It is only for system / cache / data. There is no known way to me to repartition boot, radio or recovery partition.

However, I am relieved tó hear that my shrinked k3 is kind of working. You might have noticed that after flashing it, WiFi won't connect. This is because in the first place I didn't give you the kernel module with the wifi driver (bcmdhd.ko).

I have attached it here. Extract it from the archive and replace the one being present in the ROM under system/lib/modules with this one and it should work. Enjoy.. ;)

Here comes another goodie. "Gello Browser" kanged by CM devs (based on Chromium, but without Google bits): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24566454284190282

I have compiled BeanStalk 6.17 -- but unfortunately it has become very slow, and is not worth to be published as official successor. I don't know what really happened lately.. it might be that using the shrinked k3 has introduced this.. or maybe something else in my "legacy" codebase.

However, I hope that you can still enjoy BS 6.14 with fitted k3 for a while..!

Have a good time Desire folks!

[Desire Android Development] Spezi_Ist_Spitze!:
wuhhhuuu!!!
[Desire Android Development] Spezi_Ist_Spitze!:
Or not :(

Can't get BeanStalk. Gave it already couple of shot's. I never ever got a bootscreen (besides the green htc on white background).

Figuered out that while I'm using my 'old'/flashed recovery (twrp 2.7.10) I can wipe without errors.

When I'm in the twrp-marshmallow recovery and I do the wipe I get following error message:

E: Unable to wipe '/data' -- unkown file system 'auto'
Updating partition details
E: Unable to mount '/data'

Any ideas? :eek:

EDIT:

While I'm in twrp 2.7.10: data partition is yaffs2

In twrp 2.8.70 (marshmallow): data partition is swap with 0MB

Tried to format it ext4 in twrp 2.7.10 -> still swap in twrp 2.8 (marshmallow)

Formating in twrp 2.8.70 to ext4 looks better... let's see... flashing unconditionally

EDIT2:

Still no luck. Stucking in a bootloop... Tried all the hint's described in the first thread... Couple of more hints?

Tried Beanstalk 6.14 & 6.17, both boot.img (shrinked & not) and gave around 6 shot's in total. hboot is alphayelly lollipop and everything worked like expacted

And just to be sure, here is my sd-card layout:

...and just realizing that partition 3 (was swap!) changed the file system. But it's not mountable in the computer! :rolleyes:

I don't understand what your problem is. You say you wanted to try custom roms. Then why do you have to deal with rooting and debloating.

[Xperia Z1 General] optimumpro:
I am not questioning why you wanted to try custom. My point was you didn't need to bother with rooting to go to custom. All you needed was to unlock bootloader (for which you need no root) and then install any pre-rooted custom rom...

Well it is a though situation with the Z1. I dont want to unlock the bootloader as it will remove the DRM keys and I cant make a backup of the DRM keys without being rooted. One solution could be going back to KK 4.4.4, root with available method then install bootloader and flash new rooted LP 5.1.1 ROM. But to much work setting everything up again so the Kingroot method is the most convenient then replacing with SuperSu. I guess though I am not convinced yet about Kingroot as I am skeptic about what info it sends to China, how it is used and what it installs in root aswell as if it injects any code to for say Google Play Services to gain control even if uninstalled.

Rather just stick to stock at this point and pray kingroot is not evil.
[Xperia Z1 General] EQ2000:
But have you tried to replace it with SuperSu? I reckon there is a thread in this section with a former version of Kingroot and a script that uninstalls Kingroot and installs SuperSu as IIRC the later versions of Kingroot has "uninstall protection" in the way that it may remove the root altogether and/or prevent normal function of SuperSu.
