i know..but experimenting with them takes a lot of time...and i am kind of guy who like to have the most complete one in one try..sounds selfish eh?

in other words, i dont like messing around too much cuz i have other works to do(am a student btw) and i need one that i'll use for a long time without flashing over and over.

How about choosing the file manually ?

Are you flashing new rom? Why you are using update.zip? I though dont need to change the file name to update.zip?
Not sure about it, i have problem with rom manager before.
I found that i need to flash the clockwordmod everytime when i need to go into recovery or flash a rom.
Try reflash it before you start....give it a shot...good luck

Complicated. Maybe try to root again and reflash everything ?

Do you flash the wrong radio / ROM or something as it's kinda impossible to have unrevoked recognize as N1

Wait, you are saying you are trying to root your handset that is already rooted? I thought you only need to do it once and after that, all you need to do is flash the ROM.

I think samurai1337 should unroot back to stock and start over again, maybe ?

Download the Official RUU file at XDA, run the RUU file and you will have unrooted Eclair. Then, update to Froyo
Question is, can you root an already rooted Desire? I feel that is the cause of the problem.

Have you tried booting into recovery and try flashing a ROM from there? 
Clockworkmod comes in two parts, the recovery image itself and the front-end (ROM Manager). There's a possibility that the ROM manager part is broken while the recovery image is not. One way to determine this is to boot into the recovery console itself (not sure what the key combo for that on Desire, on the N1 it's volume down + power). Or if you have a terminal emulator installed and you have root, start the terminal emulator and type this:
?su
#reboot recovery

i flashed the battery % over then found out i dont have the H icon
only have 3g icon
so wondering am i on HSDPA or 3g
but doesn't affect anything else

ok speedtested
getting as high as 2.74 Mbps
is that ok or not?

I see. So we need to find a way to load an uncorrupted recovery image.
If you are familiar with 'fastboot', you can do this:-

1) Download Clockwork image here:-
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/re...5.0.1-bravo.img

2) Stash it somewhere where fastboot can locate it.

3) Boot the phone into the bootloader

4) start the command prompt on your PC and type 'fastboot devices' to make sure your phone is recognized by fastboot

5) Now we're gonna load the downloaded recovery image. type:-
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo.img

you should see something like 'downloading boot.img....'

6) If everything went fine the phone should be in recovery mode but not using the suspected corrupted recovery image on the phone. It's using the one you downloaded.

7) Check if the settings and backup folder issue is fixed.

And do this at your own risk. I dont have a Desire to test this method thoroughly. I'm running Amon RA on my N1, sometimes when I want to use some Clockwork functions, I just fastboot the image using the method above. This way, I dont need to flash and re-flash between the two recovery image.

For step 2, the easiest way is to move the downloaded recovery image into the directory where the fastboot binary is located. If you already have fastboot in your system PATH variable, you dont need to do this. Just execute the fastboot command in the directory where the recovery image was placed.

Step 4 is starting a command prompt ('Run.. cmd' on Windows or open a terminal on Linux). Is that DOS box thing where you can type text commands. So you'll have something like this:
C:\androidsdk\fastboot devices

if your device is recognized by fastboot it will reply with 'HTC xxxxxxxx', where 'xxxxxxx' is your device's serial number.

Someday you probably have to teach me how to do this, when the 2.2 OTA comes closer. So far no announcement from HTC SEA right? I will stick to LeeDroid for a while.

Just got word that Titanium Backup can back every setting, app, data, email, smses on you phone and apparently it can backup your mom too. Really kaaa?

If that's true, i'm gonna root crap out of my desire tonight. Really cannot tahan already. HTC, i'm gonna hate you forever for delaying OTA in Asia and forcing me to root.

What is the reason you unroot back? Not satisfied? I am getting impatient for the 2.2 OTA and thinking about rooting

Btw, for the official rooted FroYo, do we still need the EXT3 partition?

No. Problem due to GSC website accepting only Mozzila / IE / Chrome. Not even Fennex or Opera works. Tested even on the iPhone
You mean its only a problem, if you want to change to another custom ROM? Cause i am worried that the Rooted Froyo are not exactly stable.

Same reply I got
Case Mate Barely there ? You can check it out at this thread.

btw, i have 1 Case Mate Torque up for grab if you're interested

Hi Sifus, finally managed to root my desire and installed LeeDroid 1.7b. All seems to be fine and the system is quite stable too but I'm facing problem to create an ext partition. I used ROM Manager to create the partition and the phone rebooted to recovery mode but there is an error msg

--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

What should I do now... Please help....

In rom manager, tap flash clockworkmod recovery
