Hello,
I have been having real memory issues with my htc desire recently so i have decided to go down the root route. So far it has gone OK, a massive thanks the the forum members here. this site is great.
So far i have managed to complete the S-Off part, rooted, installed 4ext and busy box.
I followed the 4ext recovery guide and seemed to successfully make a backup so that i can move onto putting on a new rom and increasing my memory.
My question is about the following warning that 4ext has shown a couple of times:
you are currently in safe mode. that means that some of your internal partitions are not accessible. Please wipe all partitions and then reboot recovery!
I haven't done any partitioning (to my knowledge) so i'm not sure what this message means. My overall goal is to install a nice light Rom that allows me to have all my apps with no more memory issues. a nicer interface will be a bonus. Please can someone let me know if i need to do anything with the above message before i get into putting a new rom on my phone?
Also, if for any reason things go wrong or i just want to go back to my current state - i assume that when i start putting on a new rom, the backup i make with 4ext will be kept safe? should i take it off my phone and keep it somewhere safe?
Many thanks in advance for your help
