BIGBEAREVO your IMAGE not WORKING

BigBearEvo said:
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 ?

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,
http://goo-inside.me/devs/benjamingwynn

And @bigbearevo don't you think 472MB is just too darn large for a custom ROM. I mean cm7 barely crosses 100mb ever

lmfao.....no offense, this just shows how much you don't know about custom roms. bens rom to be precise is using aroma, a bigger installer, and is mutli compatible on other devices. Hence the huge size of this rom. when cm7 get released on this handset it won't be less then 100mb!
all cwm recovery will flash roms, but 5.0.2.6 is safest and most easiest way to do it

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.

Same here, no idea why it runs so slow

You need to state the following clearly. What rom, how did U make partition, how did u flash it. Basically the main stuff u used and what u did before. It went wrong.

excellent tutorial! thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

just looking for some clarification as to when you do the data2sd process - after i install a custom rom? i have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev, i have flashed the recovery rom....

so i can now flash a custom rom and then got through the data2sd process??

thanks.

BigBearEvo · May 7, 2012

Install rom first, boot the phone and wait for it to fully setup, then reboot to recovery and flash data2whatever. Done.

Wasn't me............ ;-)

think there is a problem with the last step. i flashed data2whatever, seems to have installed. i partitioned sdcard using minitool, 8gb card -> 1.5gb ext3 and rest extended fat32.

when i look at settings / storage -> it shows as Total space 7.6GB...
