Root HTC Desire Rom install help!!!!

[SUroot]

These new sense roms that apparently work with cdma, for many do not.

It's best to forget this Rom for now. Get familiar with flashing simpler roms that are specifically for cdma. Get used to doing that properly first. You're trying to run before you can walk. Demanding help in caps is not the right way to go about it. Reading and practicing is what you must do.

exactly my thoughts after reading this

I have been installing roms to android forums for about a year.
Heres all of the steps I took to install this rom.
1) I went to the main website and notices these websites were down.
2) First I went to this website to download the ACTUAL ROM its self. -- cool3d-aces-v5-bravo.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download --
3) Then I went here to get the gsm-cdma patch -- Get Cool3D-AceS-v6-bravo-CDMA.zip on Wupload.com --
4) Then I went here to get the stock hboot ZIP -- Stock_hboot.zip --
5) Last i went here to get the Ext 4 converter patch -- alignment_cool_2.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download --
6) I transferred everything to my phone. KEEPING IT IN ZIP FILES!!!
Okay now to my phone...
1) I press VOL- and PWR and then go into recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0)
2) I wipe data/cache/dalvik
***(Starting here I did the steps in all different orders. But you get my point. I usually started with the rom first or the ext4 aligner first.)**
3)I installed the rom (cool3d-aces-v5-bravo.zip)*
4) I installed Alignment_cool.zip*
5)I installed Stock_hboot.zip
6) I installed gsm-cdma patch
7)reboot.
8) htc logo screen. Let sit for 30 minutes last time i tried... Nothing..
SO heres all my details. What have i done wrong guys?
Thanks for all the help and aggravation

 

[liamf1]

and sorry for the aggrivation***

 

[SUroot]

Those ext converter / alignment zips cause more trouble than they're worth. Use Gparted and then you never have to do anything with the partition again. You really need to skip that shIt

 

[liamf1]

Can you run me through those steps very quickly?

 

[SUroot]

Which steps? Using Gparted to partition the sd card? I put it all in the root memory faq dude

 

[liamf1]

Yes sir,
the g-parted editor.
can you post the f&q for me? The link?

 

[SUroot]

Nope, its already been posted in this thread.

This forum has a sticky post: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/503471-desire-all-things-root-guide.html. That post contains links to the FAQs and guides we refer to here. There are a couple of guides on how to use GParted linked there - I'd recommend SUroot's guide to setting up GParted on a virtual machine as the simple way to do it if you don't have linux.

A few of us also have links to this stuff in our signatures.

 

[liamf1]

May I ask if youre an admin? Cause I see you everywhere on here

 

[liamf1]

hadron, I use a bootable CD for g-parted, if that's okay?

 

[SUroot]

Hadron is a guide. A staff member to help people get the answers they need. I'm just a guy with a desire and a keyboard

 

[Hadron]

SUroot's being modest there (and I remember when you were a guide).

Bootable CD is fine - some people have some hassle setting them up, which is why the VMWare guide, but if you have/prefer that then no worries.

 

[SUroot]

The good thing about a vm is you can take screen shots of issues if you get stuck and not have to remember/print/write instructions whilst not booted into Windows

 

[liamf1]

Its still not working after changing the partitions to fat32 and ext4

 

[SUroot]

I'd probably recommend you post in the dev thread on xda then. Many.have found these cdma "patches" don't do much to live up to expectation. There's nothing more we can suggest really
