Ok, I successfully unlocked bootlader
Now... the partitions thing..
Could anyone simplify steps for those 3 partitions I've to make?
My sdcard is 8gb class 2 (unfortunatelly)..
tnx in advance
OK Firstly try this..................>pm11img Download this and store on the root of your sd.
By that i mean don't change the file, don't open it or store it any file, just on the root of your sd.
This is accessible from HBOOT.
To access HBOOT, pull your battery out. reinsert battery and holding volume key down press power button.
It will now enter a new menu.
it will do a pm11img check, if it works it will update your hboot version and ask you to reboot. do it.
if this works you will have a pink *locked* appear right at the top
if this hasn't then we need to look into it more.
If this does work then we need you to install recovery.
You require 3 files >ADB Files
add this into a folder in your c:/ called Android. so it will look like c:/Android.
Unzip the file and 3 files appear.
This will help unlocking bootloader aswell.
Recovery
This program does the lot. backups restores wipes etc....everything...
To install this you need the 5.0.2.6 recovery file. >Recovery file at bottom
This post shows how to install recovery using adb cmds in cm prompt. there is a spelling mistake.
So here are the new lines.....you can copy the bold writing to cmd window to make it easier.
*Note, your phone needs to be plugged into your computer using charge option only*
line 1 is c:/Android/adb reboot bootloader
line 2 is c:/Android/fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once this is done, you may choose the recovery selection in HBOOT to load recovery up.
For EXT3 Creation you require Minitool partition wizard > MiniTool 7.1
use this to resize your sd.
You must make a copy of your sd card on your computer....
if this works fine then nothing will happen to your sd....if you do this wrong it will wipe your sd!
Set a space of 1gb max for ext usage and make primary.
Don't use cwm to make partitions like the other phone...this works and will stay this way till something new appears.
Once this is created it may come back with bad disk.....don't panic it does that!
If all this has been done right, then your set.
If you get stuck im around so i will respond!
the above steps will allow you to have the basics setup and ready for custom roms!
Hey BIGBEAREVO,
I tried your PH11IMG.ZIP(http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uma19r3pysr93dr).
But it was only detected and it didn't asked to update ?
Is there a problem with your image file ?

So, I can access to root using this method although it'll stay s-on?
Could someone confirm this?
On a completely non related topic, will the cwm I flash here allow me to flash custom roms as well? to be precise, the one here,

And @bigbearevo don't you think 472MB is just too darn large for a custom ROM. I mean cm7 barely crosses 100mb ever
Hay, I used the script data2sd-ext3 and that made my phone slow like a dead unit. However, i guess it is because my SD card is not a high speed card.
So i reinstalled everything without the data2sd script and it works well now.
I was able to root the phone and also partition was also done..but at the end i somehow messed up and now i ended up with the onle htc screen flashing quitely brilliant...also i accidentally deleted the original ROM...please help me...
Ignore my above post.i have Successfully partitioned my phone via ext3 script....but the apps keep on getting force closed....most of them..hoe can I restore them..also how can I fix this issue..
i cant help you mate if i don't know
what rom, what did u do... basically any information!
Install rom first, boot the phone and wait for it to fully setup, then reboot to recovery and flash data2whatever. Done.
Wasn't me............ ;-)
did u partiton them correctly? ie primary etc if you didn't you tend to get that msg
hi sorry if im asking a stupid question but im new to this, I followed your instructions and at the end i still see 120mb for internal storage. my sd card is 16gb and now shows 10gb. is the increased internal memory suposed to show or not? also when installing the busybox it said "instalation aborted" at then end, is it doing what its supoed to? if im doing something wrong could you please tell me how to increase the internal space I would greatly appreciate it. thanks for your great work
Do u have recovery installed...if not...then we need to get it installed and get you flashing a new rom again.
Best option is.....somewhere in here is recovery 5.0.2.6 with instructions to flash via adb cmds.
Do this according to post, trust it will work!
Once that's installed go get either iconic or sense 3.5. Flash either of these and presto .....working phone again.
Takes a few mins to flash recovery and upto ten minutes for a custom rom.
