You're not supposed to use any other apps2sd with cyanogenmod, it says that plainly in the instructions.
I think the easiest thing is to wipe and reflash.

i went to the menu that says restore to factory / wipe and its still not booting. what exactly do i need to do / download. thanks. (sorry for bein dumb)
You need to wipe your ext partition now. Search this forum for the instructions. Then you need to go back to the CyanogenMod thread and memorize all the warnings he has posted.
You better start reading carefully before you brick your phone. There are multiple warnings saying DO NOT USE ANY OTHER APPS2SD METHOD. Just about all roms now are auto when it comes to apps2sd.
i wiped the phone and took out the sd and it still doesnt boot. do i need to root agian? ughhhh

i searched for "wipe ext partition" and cant find anything. can you point me in the right direction?
and thank you guys so much
go into parted from the recovery console.
use "print" to show your partitions, write down the start and stop locations
use "rm 2" replacing my 2 with your ext partition number but most likely it's 2 anyways
then remake the partition using the start and stop locations from the "print" results.
type "quit" or "exit" (i forget which one.
now type "upgrade_fs"
now type reboot recovery and reflash the rom
mmmmmmmmm yummy, a big ol' bowel of booty loops, the prize in the box is an android
thanks guys! with your help she is up and running
but one more question. since i have the new cyan build and you guys say apps2sd is built in how do i activate it? i have an icon at the top saying memory is low.
last question i promise thank you!!!!

All you need in order to get the apps to automatically be moved to the SD card, is to have an existing ext3 partition.
As someone said earlier, use Cyan's recovery (which hopefully you flashed to, right?) and use the Parted application to create an ext2 partition. You will then go back to the normal recovery console and run the script "upgrade_fs", which will upgrade the filesystem from ext2 to ext3.
I'm looking to update my Inc. to 2.2 but the ROMs suggest upgrading to radio 2.x. I'm pretty new to this and a little confused by the instructions.
The instructions I'm following are these
How to flash the 2.x radio.
Rooted
1. Download PB31IMG.zip and place it in the root of you SDCARD. Make sure the FS is FAT32, otherwise PB13IMG.zip will not flash.
1a. Link has been updated so you no longer have to apply the VZW exchange OTA.
2. Now go to the bootloader.
2a. Run 'adb reboot oem-42' if powered up or hold Power + Volume Down if your phone is off.
3. It should automatically start loading PB31IMG.zip. Then accept it when it asks you to load it or not (pretty sure Vol Up).
4. You are now completely stock. You should remove PB31IMG from your SDCARD now.
5. Download dinc_ota.zip, rename it to update.zip and place it in the root of your SDCARD.
6. Now boot into recovery and apply the zip.
6a. adb reboot recovery if powered up or Power + Volume Down then select Recovery.
6b. Now hit Power + Volume Up to bring up the Recovery menu.
6c. Now select apply update.zip
7. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Baseband version and verify that it's 2.05.00.06.11.
8. Now download and run Unrevoked 3 to reroot and install ClockworkMod recovery.
9. Now you can go ahead and do a Full Wipe then install the Stock Froyo rom.

I'm actually lost right away with making sure the FS is Fat32, what is the FS and how do I check this
After that I assume I'm rebooting in Bootloader, is there a difference between that and bootin in recovery?
I guess I'm just looking for a walkthrough in lay mans terms.
Maybe format size? When you hook the drive up to the pc, go to my computer, locate the sd card, right click and then format. It gives you an option to format in FAT32, make sure its checked. Then format.
Place the PB31IMG.zip at the root of the sd card.
Go into bootloader and the file will be checked by the phone then ask you if you want to update. Yes.
Reboot.
Enjoy.

FS == File System. htc_woe_is_me is spot on with what to do.
I believe if you're going to use the 2.15x radio ... you need to make sure you are S-Off using hte Unr3voked Forever tool.
If you're using the 2.05x radio, you should be fine without going S-Off
Okay, lets start with the basics. Fs is file system. There are different types of file systems. Fat32 and ntfs are common. You format your SD card as fat32, cause that is what's best for your phone. The SD card that came with your phone should be good to go. Before you follow these instructions you must be sure to accompolish a few things.
1)First you must be rooted. Unrevoked has the one stop root tool.
2)Next you must perform the unrevoked forever tool. This tool will grant you nand access allowing your radio to be updated..
have you performed these steps?
I Dont want to flood you with instructions if you aren't fully ready yet

Macs are for people that just "want things to work*". If you wish to tinker (ie. learn and have fun), get a PC.
If you REALLY want to get into tinkering/hacking**/learning, skip windows and go straight to Linux. It won't be easy, but you will learn skills that are incredibly valuable***.
* - By that, I mean people that want their computers to hold their hand and think for them.
** - Search for computer hacking on wikipedia before you make any bad assumptions (sorry, I still can't post links).

That was the stupidest post I've ever read in my entire life. You're paid too much whatever you do.
I think you can format it thru disk utility. My mac knowledge is very little though, try Googling it?

qmmartman711 was correct: Go to your utilities folder and open the Disk Utility app. Click on the disk that you want to reformat (it will appear in the left pane). In the right pane there will be options (First Aid, Erase, RAID, Restore). Click on the Erase tab/button. From there you'll see an Entry near the middle of the window that says 'Format' with a drop down list. If it already says MS-DOS(FAT) you're in good shape. Fill in the name you want the volume to have and press Erase.
BTW: In response to an earlier quote about Mac/PC/Linux. Macs are at their core BSD/Unix you can drop down to a shell any time and do whatever you want.
So I formatted it to FAT32 and placed the file in the root of my sd card, the problem is when I run bootloader it doesn't automatically do anything. Both the directions I'm following and the guys in this post say it should automatically open the file but thats not happening.
Any thoughts?
any ideas?

I agree for the most part I build PC's and only recommend them because It brings in money. I personally use a Mac. I agree that PC's give you more bottom level access but 90 percent of what you can do on a PC you can do with MAC. Dont hate on us MAC users!

It's not the fact that he hated on Mac users, it's just the specifics of what he wrote. But we digress.
Once you get onto the boot loader (get to boot loader by simultaneously pressing the power and volume up button) and wait a little bit it should ask for confirmation to update phone. Just press volume up button to confirm and there you sucesfully updated your phone.

I just realized that my phone is no long reading my SD Card, I think after reformatting it, it started with the problems. That might be why it's not picking up the update.
Not I can't put anything on my SD Card when I plug it into my computer, I get a Mac error code -8003. Looks like I ruined my SD Card? Guess I'll pick up a new one, load my back up onto it and just go back to stock.
Why don't you format the card from your phone? That way it will definitely be recognizeable.

That didn't even cross my mind. That worked as easily as you'd expect. I think I'll be restoring it to stock, since I can't figure out the radio thing. With SkyRaider 2.5.2 I tend to have times when 3G just doesn't work at all, and my internet is dead. I'm going to assume that has something to do with the radio upgrade. So I'll just downgrade back to 2.1 and wait it out.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Sorry you had to revert back to stock. Some people claim their radio updates give them better service. Some say less Service... Haha, I have the same service. But anyway, let me know if you wanna try again, skyraider and cm6 are awesome roms, and I'd hate for you to miss out!

There is more to it than just getting into recovery. This guy walks you through it. If you are already rooted there's another file you have to do first PB something.

If I've come to understand the term "push" correctly I am to use "Root Explorer" to copy the .apk (which I dropped into my sd card via drag and drop on my desktop) into /systems/app and then install from there.
I've done this method with r/w on and after I hit install it says "application not installed"
If I understand "flashing" correctly I've booted into recovery and then went to "install zip from sd card" and then I chose the zip which I downloaded from the original thread.

I swear all I need is to learn it once (if explained thoroughly) and I'll be able to do it myself from that point on.
Once again, thanks.
it seems a lot of people are having the same problem in that thread... your best bet is to ask one of them if they fixed it for their own phones
side note: when people say push... some times your really have to push it you cant just copy it... you would plug in your phone> adb push file... theres a huge thread if you wanna learn more about adb...
It may or may not work on "sense" roms. I'm running it on CM and I pushed it through ADB. I suppose I may go back to stock rom and try it during the weekend. I wouldn't post/linked to it if it did not work for me (like people that link to Gingerbread keyboard)

when you go into recovery, go to advanced (i think) and then click on mounts or something like that. then your going to click on mount/system. once you've done that, flask the .zip file and reboot, and you're good to go. its working perfectly on my mt4g. im going to remove it though because im not that thrilled with it, but it is an excellent player and with some future developement can become the best one out there, just not my cup of tea right now. btw, the recovery instrctions above is assuming you are using clockwork recovery, which you should be sonce its the only one available at the moment. any problems, let me know i'll walk you through it

Hi folks, i'm looking for 2 days a way to solve my DHD problem:
It can't boot anymore. It pop up the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, play the boot sound and, start this step again, and again, and again...
So I'm googling a LOT about how to solve this, if exist a way to restore the original rom. Because i'm thinking that was the problem, my original rom is gone.
That happens when i try to install 3 softwares from appbrain, my device got freeze and i hit the power button to reset. So, after that, my device is gone.
So i came here, to ask you folks: There is a way to recover the original rom ? Without send to warranty (because it spend something like 1 month here).
I'm not a mobile hacker or something, i'm just trying to be happy with my device.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english!!
Perhaps try booting to the bootloader, by holding Power + Volume down button. From there, you should be able to do a factory reset, which may or may not fix your problem. Worth a shot at least, imo
And if it does not work when you do a factory reset, you can use a rom.zip from HTC RUU to restore your phone.
Now the important thing is to know which HTC rom you are running. If it is unbranded, 1.72.405.3 is a sure shot. Download the RUU.exe from Stock roms thread in android development subforum, and run it. When the window pops up, open run prompt, and type: "%TEMP%". Then search for rom.zip, copy it to your desktop, rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it to your SD card (I hope that you have a card reader). Then just reboot to bootloader as tmh described, and watch the magic happen
Then if your phone is branded, you can still use the same technique to make PD98IMG.zip, but you have to get the RUU that matches your branding. There are lots of RUUs in android development subforum, just search.
Hi guys,
thanks a lot for quik reply!
I perform the procedure indicated by tmh, but without lucky ;\
I think it is unbranded. I buy it at Portugal and i'm using at Brazil right now.
I'll perform your tip jkoljo.
I'll post a repply to let people know if it works or not.
Thanks a lot!!
Hope the advice the last guy gave helps , a factory re set may work fine and fix the issue. Iv had 3 dhd since the day of release , the second one I had wouldn't switch on, had it replaced by Vodafone . Not sure weather or not they will give you a new one . Hope u get it fixed

You probably found the correct RUU, now proceed to %TEMP% and copy rom.zip to desktop.
You can find RUUs here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
I am not completely sure if those zip files are actual rom.zips, you can check that. Open up the zip, and if it has a long list of hboot, system, android-info.txt etc, then it is rom.zip and you can just go ahead and rename it to PD98IMG.zip.

Hi again,
i keep a little hope that i can restore my phone, so i found a possible solution:
OTA update.
At "showthread.php?t=667728&page=2", i found a guy with the same problem i think, here is the quote:
Kinma said:
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!

You are welcome.
What happened was that after a reboot of the phone the phone started rebooting in the boot sequence, i.e. a boot loop.
I tried a lot of things and nothing worked.
Finally I suspected that the problem might be with the SD card. I had a backup, so I had no problem doing a factory reset.
Then I booted the phone without the SD card.
The phone booted fine.
That way I was certain that the problem was with the SD card.
I had 2 partitions on the SD card, an EXT3 part and the rest was a normal Fat part.
I could still read the card, so I made a backup of all the data on the card.
Then I reformatted the card using windows.
The phone booted fine with an empty, reformatted, SD card.
Since I use Apps 2 SD, I had to recreate the EXT3 partition.
If your rom does not use this, you do not have to do this.
After recreating the EXT partition, put back all files that I want on my SD card.
My advice would be to do a factory reset and after that boot the phone without the SD card.
If the phone boots, you know the problem is with the card.
Hope that helps; good luck!

Thank you for reading even if you cant help

rocking out with my android powered ics sense-ation XE B-)
Thanks for the reply, I Have already tryed to download the HSPL and fell at the first hurdle... I think I am right that I need the HSPL before I flash anything? but when I downloaded the HSPL4 put the phone into mode were there is the red green blue and white screen (sorry dont know the correct term for it) and at the bottom I seen in a video where it says "serial" it is supposed to change to "usb" when connected to my computer? Well this didnt happen for me... SOOO, Im LOST!!
There are some windows mobile builds with built in Android. I would look out for them. It would make things a lot easier till your able to get an idea of whats going on. There is a site called http://www.cellphonerepair.net/ The one in VA when I called a few years ago said they could root my phone and install Android on it for $50. There is also a guy on facebook that can do it but charges a arm and a leg. I guess if your really pressed and want it really bad you could always go that route. I would watch the video's though on youtube. In fact watch them a couple times before trying to do anything. Here's a good nand how to while this one might be better if you want a sd build. There are also how to guide's available on ebay for purchase that range from just a dollar or two all the way to about $20. I think having a look at this would be your best bet. There is also a section for "easy android" that may shed some light on some of your questions you may run into. Maybe you might find looking at the youtube video's and reading a little more informative and then feel a little more confident in giving it another go. I know I had to do it that way and I already had a lot of experience from rooting and installing android on the touch pro 2.
Hi, I wouldnt really mind paying for it to be done properly but Im from the UK not US so I dont think that link would be much use. Thanks anyway.
Ok. I have just successfully flashed HSPL4 onto my device. And I am ready for the next stage. I have read this is the MAGLDR. How do I go about getting this onto my device?

Just a note to point out that hspl4 can install 2.08.0000 2.08.hspl 2.10.0000 2.10.hspl 3.03.0000 and 3.03.hspl, so simply "flashing hspl4" is a bit of an open statemnt with no facts.
My point is that magldr will ONLY work if you chose 2.08.hspl, anything else and magldr wont start.
Hi again, I need some more help if anyone can understand my nooby efforts of explaining what I am up to Gettin tired of the same screen now and beginning to want to through the phone off the wall. I have getting to what I think from watchin endless amounts of videos the end of the process. But I am lost on how to get the actual android rom onto the phone. Currently this is were I am up to...
a black screen which reads
aMAGLDR V1.13
Build: Feb 1 2011 03:45:07
by cotulla 2011
Boot menu:
1. Boot WPH
2. Boot AD SD
3. Boot AD NAND
4. UDB MassStg
5.USB Flasher
6.USB TTY
7.AD Hardreset
8.AD Recovery
9.Tetris
10.Services
11.Reset
12.PowerDown
This is were I am up to I have tryed to download android roms but dont think I am going the right way about storing them on my computer so they can be put onto the phone? I might be totaly wrong. PLEASEE HELLPP!
have you flashed cwm(clockwork, cwm, cwr, recovery - its called many things)
cos you cant flash teh rom from magldr itself.
so, assuming you havent, , first pick a rom, , for example typhoon. It requires a 150meg partition, , it says so in post 1 or 2, , all roms will tell you this, its important. Dont just think 'oh ill set it to 400meg and then all roms will fit', because you lose any unused space.
SO, from teh magldr screen, choose 'usb flasher', , , , get and run the nand toolkit, , on teh left chooser 150, in cache set to 5, then click magldr repartition.. This will install cwm AND set up teh partitions.
Reboot
in magldr choose 8 - ad recovery
this will start cwm
(put your rom.zip onto the sd card, anywhere, , if you have a card reader use that, if you dont, in cwm choose mounts - mount sd card - dont use teh magldr mass storage option cos it doesnt work)
then, in cwm choose install zip from sd card - choose zip - browse to teh zip file,
done.
When putting the Android ROM of your choice on your SD card it should be in a zip file and look something kind of like this:
H:\typhoonROM.zip it shouldn't be in a folder like H:\hd2roms\typhoonROM.zip
This is the default location when I plug in my SD card to my computer but yours could be E:\, G:\, J:\ etc..
I dont know if this is just a load of rubbish but I downloaded this... is it the right thing?

Yep (it shouldn't be unzipped by the way). Now just follow this guide from installing CWM onwards and you should be good to go, assuming you have done everything to this point correctly (HSPL2.08, Radio 2.xx.50.xx, MAGLDR). Note that you will have to adjust the step where it says to flash the correct partition size to the one required for your ROM of choice. The easiest way is probably to use the HD2 Toolkit rather than flashing one of the ones provided, but if you want to you can download one of the CWMs at the bottom of the guide I linked and edit the flash.cfg.
Hi, Thanks for the reply, I have had a look at the guide you posted and it looks better than some of the videos I have been watching on youtube but I dont think I have done the radio bit I have forgot anyway I can tell or anyway I can start over again if I have missed it out?

it only unzips them if you double click them, , ,dont double click them, download the zip and move/copy it to sd card, dont click it.
Does that mean I will have to download the file again? :S

I personally use 7Zip instead (it's easier and it's free) so I don't quite know, but in 7Zip you don't need to re-compress the contents or anything. That guide is indeed very good and detailed, and to check if you have the right radio, just reboot the device. In the bottom right of the screen (or maybe bottom left, you'll be able to tell when you see it) there's some text. The line next to the R is your radio version. It should be 2.xx.50.xx for you to proceed. If not, then you need to change it.

no because even if you did unzip it, the original zip will still be there and intact wherever you downloaded it to. (unless you chose 'open' instead of 'save' when you clicked the download link, which would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, you have no idea what a file is, and your AV software stands a much better chance of catching baddies when you save them rather than open them directly from the web.)
