    Hi I installed ROM manager on my desire. I then flashed the clockworkmod recovery from the app. I then selected to backup the current rom. It seemed to do its thing but when it tries to reboot it only gets to the htc screen then turns off and does this over and over again.
    I have taken the battery out but it does the same again once i put it back in again. I have also cleared it from hboot mode but its still doing the same thing. How do I get it to reboot???

    the file you need to flash with should be a zip file - i think the md5 is a hash of the download size (so you can verify that it downloaded correctly)

    Hi Micro I have managed to get Leedroid installed on the phone now and its up and running thankfully. I also had my apps backed up so there all restored now. Does Leedroid rom take up alot of internal memory as I seem to have alot less now than I had with stock rom(35mb left at present)? I have moved most of my apps to the sd card aswell were possible.

    to use the A2SD+ with Leedroid you need to have an EXT3 partition on your SD Card. You can use RomManager to do this, but it will format your SD card before doing it so take a backup of the contents of the SD card, do the partition using Rom Manager, and then restore the contents of the SD card.

    If you use RomManager to create a 512mb partition on your SD card then your internal memory usage on the phone should give you over 100mb free.

    Hi Nedd
    So can I create the partition now even after I have flashed leedroid on the phone? Also do i take everything off the sd card when i go into it in disk drive mode and then just paste it all back on again after?
    Thanks

    yeah you can create the partition now. once you have the partition made if you move the apps to your phone under Settings they will actually be moved to this new partition. its very neat.

    And yes, take a copy of everything off the SD card (in disk drive mode on your PC), make the partition, and then hook up to your PC in disk drive mode and copy it all back.

    I had this exact problem the first time I installed a custom ROM. takes a little getting use to how it works. But now I chop and change between ROMs every other week.

    Use RomManager to take a backup of your ROM before you try installing any other ROMs. then you will always have an option to go back if things go wrong, and they go wrong more than i would like.
