erm, i just rooted my htc desire using the guide and everything, and i confirmed that my app drawer has the superuser icon, but my phone just kept restarting...
i don't understand why..? can someone please help...?
 
erm, somehow i unplug my desire from my pc and now it's working, no more keep restarting...
is there any problem to my phone...?
 
thanks for the reply..
i am trying to flash my latest app2sd+ MIUI ROM now, i did all the Gparted and partition my sd card, then now carry on to flashing ROM procedure, i selected wipe all data/factory reset, then select the install zip from sdcard, but then it keeps telling installation aborted..? how come..?
 
erm, i try to reboot the system, and the phone went back to default, as in like factory reset, then i reboot into my recovery, now i can locate my ROM zip file.. and somehow it is installing already.... hope there is no problem...
 
yup, it installed successfully..

i hope you were not using rom manager
 
erm, one question here, i used app2sd+ ROM, and i downloaded quick system info to check if my EXT partition is working.. well, the total space is 0.98 GB and the free space is 0.90 GB, does it mean it is working.. if it is, then how come whenever i install my app, it is my internal memory which goes down and nothing has changed on the free space on the EXT partition..?
 
Internal.memory will.always go down. What Rom is it? Maybe.it doesn't move dalvik by default
 
Reading another thread, miui xj? This uses dark tremor a2sd. This does not move dalvik by default.

Read my root memory faq (link in my signature that shows once per page) and look for dark tremor in there. It tells you what to do

i have encountered some problems here again, i just can't get it...
firstly is that whenever i multitasked my phone, my phone will lag and go on restarting, i mentioned it before when i just finished my rooting process, and the phone keeps restarting, it is same as before, restarting for a few times (3-4) times, then only can boot into my normal andriod... Rastaman-FB mentioned about it is because of overheating... well, my phone is quite heat up when all these happen, so does it really means overheating problem, because i never encounter such problem before when i was using my unrooted stock sense ROM, or is it because of my ROM being an unstable one..?

another problem is, since i alpha rev S-off my phone, i cannot download app from market, it always says insufficient storage available for app and so cannot download... but i still have 150++ MB internal storage... i flashed Bravo Data++ partition by the way...

please help... >.<

if i were you i would make a back up of current rom
flash the hboot downgrader and RUU the device back to stock and see if it still does it when device is under load.
please create a new thread regarding your issues as you have a few and they need to be looked at properly rather than tagging onto the back of a thread

cheers
 
Ive never failed a SetCPU stress test. I could run a stress test and all will be fine. Load android forums via a web brwoser - reboot.

... erm, i am blurred.. you mean i SetCpu stress test doesnt mean anything..?
and do i load android forum and then reboot my phone..? what will that do to my phone..?
 
No.

I mean I have never managed to get a reboot using SetCPU stress test. Then I can do the simplest thing like loading a webpage and it would force my phone to reboot.

So Set CPU cant make my phone reboot but browser can = setCPU not worth taking seriously when talking about stress tests.

alright, that makes sense to me...
so.... how do i know whether my ROM is stable or not..?
well, the rebooting won't start in normal condition, just during me flashing my alphrev S-off, multitasking my phone while in plug with charger, where the phone's temperature got over 37 celcius... then it reboot for 3 times like that then back to normal... OMG.. sounds so scary now....
