I have a problem on my Desire with Stock 2.2 SLCD und HBoot 0.93.

I have Rootet with the newest unrEVOked and flashed the new Superuser (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip) in Recovery.

Can anybody help me?

Request:

Is it possible to create an Hboot flash with these parameters?

149M /system

10 / cache

data the rest?

for the OpenDesire Lovers?

Or is there any method to make it work like this?
[Desire General] Ascenca83:
Hi

I tried the USB Method.

I got to step 3.

There I got the message: USB 1-6: Device not accepting adress 12, error -71.

So I waited 30min and nothing happened.

So I then tried to choose the "reboot" option in the bootloader, but the phone wouldnt boot into android but only to the bootloader again.

After a nandroid restore I can again boot the phone into android.

Everything was done with LeeDroid 2.2d and the Richard Trip V5_smartass kernel on it.

Does anybody know what the problem is with my phone?

Can I power off my phone now without having fear to brick it???

Hope someone can explain what I have to do now.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

i have flashed AlphaRev 1.5 HBOOT and it´s working fine.

But how can i partition my phone with bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img.

Can someboy please post a short instruction? Thank you!
[Desire General] K900:
Reboot your device while holding the volume down button, connect it to your pc, then on the pc run "fastboot flash hboot file.name.img". The fastboot tool is available in the SDK.

Whooo, succesfully s-offed my phone took five mins, using cd. Great work
[Desire General] VK7HSE:
For Australian Telstra users, I have good news! if you wish to use the current FroYo update, you can still use unrevoked & the current s-off to both root/s-off your HTC Desire.

The RUU available from HTC will do a full wipe so remember to backup your data!
[Desire General] 10lexik:
Hey guys !!

I was reading a topic in here about flashing hboot with alpharev and i tried flashing my hboot with the bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img with sdk tools (tutorials on this forum).

What a surprise when i re install defrost 6.0 and look at my free memory : 195 mo instead of 144 mo before flashing !!!

That's ****ing great and working ^^

Edit : i also (by an ubuntu linux) made my own partitions with gparted on my 16 Gb sdcard (1gb for an Ext3 , 1gb for swap, and rest for fat32 partition) and that's work great to !
[Desire General] graey:
S-offed, got data++, put launcherpro in /system/app and installed Flash 10.1 again, with all my other apps still got over 100mb free for apps now. I used to install flash when I needed it, as it always put my desire in complain-about-low-memory mode. Now I can just keep it there and still have enough room to install dozens of other apps.

Using DeFrost as ROM, no problem with S-offing and using data++, didn't have to reflash the ROM or anything.

Thanks!

EDIT: Oh, and for crying out loud, someone sticky this topic!
[Desire General] graey:
By the way, could you share a short howto for no-noobs for repartitioning? I've tried to find it in the thread but so far couldn't find it, and for me (using defrost) the sweet spot would be in between the N1 and the Data+ table, less system, decent cache, more data. Would be much appreciated! :)
[Desire General] 10lexik:

edit : i've just done it with in my ".txt" i set : "mtd 140 35" and got 260 mb free after defrost 6 installation ^^
[Desire General] slaffe:
Been waiting for 'Waiting for flashing to complete..' for 45 mins here now.

Phone is still at HTC screen. Do I have any other option than pull out the cable and remove the battery? And pray to god the phone is not bricked?

Edit: Removed the battery and put it back in. Phone booted as it should. Phew. S-off here too then!
[Desire General] graey:
Thanks, don't know how I could have missed that one :D
[Desire General] Mabili:
I have successfully flash the n1table.img bravo_alphaspl and use now Defrost but I'm still here with a question.

Can I safely format the sd card to fat32 to delete the SDExt partition now is no longer necessary to use a2sd or is the SDExt still necessary?
[Desire General] MrPontus:
it shows AlphaRev at the top.

so far I have not had any more problems after restoring my backup :)
[Desire General] 10lexik:
The A2SD does WORK WITH sd-ext mounting volume SO your EXT3 Formatted partition on your SD ^^

Personaly on my 16Gb i used on linux GPARTED and cut like this (ORDER OF PARTITIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT) :

1:/ I made a 13.5 Gb FAT32 primary partition

2:/ 1 Gb EXT3 primary partition

3:/ rest for a Primary Linux-Swap partition (not really required)

:D
[Desire General] ali_loly10:
i've done it a few days ago but i dont understant what could i use it for
[Desire General] ali_loly10:
except for changing that splash screen
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
You have full write access to all your nand partitions, including system, recovery, splash1 and radio. You can for example flash a new recovery via fastboot or us root explorer to modify files in system partition without rebooting to recovery or using update.zip files.

You can also modify the size of your partitions with the four versions of the release

[Desire General] vnvman:
Hey just out of curiosity...what if i flash a sense rom while i have N1 Table? Brick ftw? :D
[Desire General] 10lexik:
Like it's written on alpharev's site, for sense rom you need an other img to flash (data++ or sense) or you can make your own partitions thanx to this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321

Just flash the alpharev's img with sdk tools first and you're done to install what you want :D
[Desire General] vnvman:
I know it's not the right img, i was just wondering what would happen...afaik there isn't a sense rom small enough to fit in 145 mb, so i guess it simply won't boot :p

You shouldn't get bricked tho, cause the radio partition is big enough even for recovery flashing :rolleyes:
[Desire General] sfjuocekr:
ieftm could you maybe make a 145mb system with 2mb cache version? Or better yet a no cache version?

There is no benefit in having a cache partition for me and possibly others too as you can just bind mount cache to /data/cache and have the most available space for apps.
[Desire General] yrneh122:
Don't know much about what i can do with s-off, except custom flash screen. Wondering if it's worth the risk
[Desire General] :
You can delete/edit system files apparently without re-booting and using ADB.
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Little bit OT, I know, but how exactly do you do that?

Whenever I edit system apps while the system is running, I usually need to reboot before the changes take effect anyway.

-Moving system app updates from /data/app/ to /system/app/: Reboot needed

-Installing apps to /system/app/ in general: Reboot needed

-Replacing kernel modules: Reboot needed

Is there a way to get around rebooting? Because with the reboot, I might as well use ADB Shell via recovery...
[Desire General] erto90:
i'm still using the old,first release ( *** AlphaRev ***)

Have I to upgrade to newer? ( maybe N1Table HBOOT??) or nothing changes?
[Desire General] Peikko:
I already have installed alpharev the first version but I don't understand how to install the newer img (n1 table). is there a guide or something?

[Desire General] LuffyPSP:
guys, does the n1 custom MTD partition table going to work with MIUI rom?
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
There is no real explanation. Since it depends on which rom you use and also personal taste.

Rule of thumb is, if you use sense rom, you want the default layout.

If you use non sense rom like cyanogen or OD, you will know what is the best layout from rom discussion thread.

If you experiment a lot, you find a list of all layouts and their partition sizes at the alpharev.nl website

You see? There us no "the answer"... Except for sense bloatware users

Swyped with my S-OFF'd brain using teh internetz
[Desire General] vnvman:
100% sure it will :)
[Desire General] LuffyPSP:
i use OD and currently on the n1 layout. suddenly wanted to try MIUI cuz i got this weird stuck/lag behaviour on OD after a month of use(longest AOSP i've been). Prefer this rather than a2sd+..:D

Really? cool. Am flashing in a moment. So i just apply the nexified patch normally after flashing the rom correct?
[Desire General] vnvman:
I'm not sure i got ya...you mean that you wanna flash the N1Table again (you said you already have it?) after flashing the ROM? If so, you don't need it: just wipe and flash the ROM, it will fit the partitions by default.

Then, afaik MIUI has built in a2sd+, so it will still work with custom partitions, you're just gonna have more free space on phone storage, which is always handy ;)
[Desire General] LuffyPSP:
i always did that when i flash CM or OD, by applying the patch everytime i did a full wipe. i shouldnt?
[Desire General] jayk32:
O.K i S-off my phone & now if i boot into recovery can i still do it using Rom Manager? Or do i need the clockwork recovery img? I'm a little bit baffed :confused: Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance.

[Desire General] scaeac:
I can't boot RCMixHD 0.11 or other ROM transplanted from Desire HD under this HBOOT, but the another ROMs're OK.
[Desire General] elvis56:
Similar thing happened when i flashed Hboot through CD method. All steps went ok, phone went to the new Hboot but laptop screen still said waiting for flash to complete. All seemed ok as the Hboot was showing on my phone so i disconnected and reboot.

However it did not boot to my rom, only to the new Hboot(similar to what kipfel experienced). Restoring nandroid as I am typing this, hope it will be fine.

I was using psfmod as recovery, rom leedroid 2.2e, old hboot was 0.8. As I understand alpharev should replace the bootscreen but I seem to remember Leedroid has the bootscreen in a non standard location, maybe this is causing the problem?

UPDATE: nandroid seems to have restored just fine.
[Desire General] schiznik:
which partition table?

I've been looking at the different partition sizes, and none of them (seem) to suit whats in use at the moment on my phone (running teh latest Oxygen beta):

Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock3 250 87 163 35% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 148 67 81 45% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock4 40 35 5 87% /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 504 213 265 45% /sd-ext
/dev/block/vold/179:1 7260 5785 1475 80% /mnt/sdcard

Am I correct in thinking that the contents of /sd-ext and /data would need to fit into the resized /data partition?

Which partition table would (someone|anyone) recommend?
[Desire General] andrewsoong:
Sorry if this has been answered but it doesnt say on the first 10 ish pages nor on the website...

What are the benefits of doing this? I know it fully roots the Desire but what benefit does it gain? I thought the root methods before this meant you could flash custom roms anyway.

I know one main benefit is it's freed up a lot of internal memory for apps. Is that the main reason to do it? What else?
[Desire General] 10lexik:
I got a custom MTD partitions table (search the thread in here) over a N1 Table flashed hboot with 120 Mb for system and 35 mb for cache (the rest goes for data)

Yes 10 char
[Desire General] buzmay:
I had the same issue and got desperate after waiting 15 minutes. So I took off the battery and restarted the phone and I was s-off. Even though is not recommended to do this when you have this problem that I and now you are facing you need to realize that at some point sooner or later you must unplug the phone. Hope you get the same results as I did. So far that I know it hasn't been any bricks so don't panic.
[Desire General] Benderzoid:
Good morning together,

i have a question - i have done this procedure - and it seems to be working.

But...

These where my steps i done:

1.) Downloaded "alpharev.iso" and "bravo_alphaspl-sense.img" (deodexed Sense ROM)

2.) Mounted this at USB Device

3.) Boot from USB

4.) The Process runs automaticly

5.) HBOOT is successfully flashed from 0.80 to 0.93

This was all? Is the "bravo_alphaspl-sense.img" used by the Programm automaticly? What i have to do now to finish it - or is it right now?

Thanks for help ^^.
[Desire General] wrsg:
no it must be flashed seperately
[Desire General] Benderzoid:
Thank you for fast response :). Now it shows me "-AlphaRev Sense-" :). But hang's on splash-screen...
[Desire General] Benderzoid:
Phone bricked?

OK, i need help - i think my phone is broken.

What i've done:

1.) Flashed AlphaRev HBOOT via USB - all 3 Steps successfully done

2.) wiped all what i have found

3.) restart - hang's over 5 Min's at Splashscreen - turn battery out

4.) Flashed AlphaRev for deodexed ROM's (Sense)

5.) Restart hang's again - turn battery out

6.) Flashed ROM then Restart - hang's over 15Mins again - turn battery out

7.) wiped again all that i have found

8.) Try to flash HBOOT for deodexed Sense via SDK again - he said me "OKAY"

9.) reboot stucks over 15Mins again at Splashscreen

10.) I think my phone is broken

11.) Try to flash via recovery a new kernel and ROM - nothing changes

12.) Try first step again - hang's after step 3 and said me:

"Waiting for flashing to complete...

An unexpected error occurred. Error code 5. Press any key to shutdown."

13.) OK, try to manualy write an other HBOOT (not for deodexed Sense, i try the first one for Stock ROM's) via SDK fastboot flash

14.) Hang's again at Joker Splash-Screen...

What to do now? Send back to HTC? :o

I read something about unbricking a desire for a time - but can't find anything now...

Need help please.

EDIT: After three hours, my phone is safed! Re-Install of ROM don't help's me. My Phone don't Accepts the "bravo_alphaspl-sense.img", with Aurax T-Sense (deodexed) it don't work - stucks at Splashscreen.

Nandroid Restore to Factory ROM from HTC - works also not with "bravo_alphaspl-sense.img" - and "bravo_alphaspl.img" has bring me my phone back to life! After this, Reinstall my Aurax T-Sense and Titanium Backup Pro was helpful as well!

Thanks to all they wanted to help me :).
[Desire General] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Well that was a bit tense. After getting stuck on the HTC splash screen for 25 mins I pulled the battery but could only boot into Bootloader.

[Desire General] wrsg:
flashed the n1table to my desire, but i still think the amount of free space for apps is pathetic.

i have a HTC Magic that has approx 300mb space for apps.

can anyone explain this?

my only explanation is that the type of memory on the Magic is cheaper/slower therefore they were able to put more of it on the phone, whereas the Desires memory is faster/costlier.
[Desire General] najar360:
guys,

i need your advise. done perform patching n1table. and I already activate dark tremor script as below. dalvik cache to cache partition

su

a2sd check

a2sd zipalign

a2sd cachepart

and now, my cache left about 7mb only. is there any effect and is there anyway to reduce the size?i dont want to activate script to ext card.
[Desire General] 10lexik:
Maybe you should set your partitions manually with alpharev's one or with a homemade one to fit to what you want ;)
[Desire General] Number22:
The Magic probably has a lighter system (i.e. the ROM itself takes a lot less space) and a smaller /cache.

Anyways, if you really need that much on /data, I recommend a custom MTD layout and a customized ROM. I myself, for example, am currently on Defrost from which I removed apps and files that I don't need and use a custom MTD partition table that gives me 333mb on /data (and I still have 7mb free on /system and 4mb free on /cache -> if I wanted to push it, I could easily have 344mb on /data)

So, my point is, if you want the most from your phone, don't be afraid to roll your sleeves up and get messy. It certainly pays off :)
[Desire General] wrsg:
i don't mind getting a bit messy with changing the partition table, its just that when i try and do things like changing roms, things get REALLY messy :) i'm too lazy to deal with the crap when things like that happen.

[Desire General] mad-murdock:
After reading the last few pages I have to say this:

If you don't know exactly what you are doing, don't change the partition tables. And don't complain about your phone is broken. that is so silly.

On topic: after laying my hands on a couple of desires, I have reason to believe, that 30 minute step 3 issue is connected to the base rom you use.

I had never issues when doing s-off from leedroid. Never took more than three minutes. I now even flash leedroid to do the s-off, when the target rom is something different.

Those guys who had the 30 minute step three issue, what roms did you have installed?
