Used Hboot and unrevoked, dl. Rom manager and flashed with ClockwordMOD.
Now i need to partion SD card, choosing 512mb and 0mb for swap.
phone restartes and i get ! and an android, how long should i wait.
When pressing power it goes into Recovery and i can chose unmount ect.
but nothing happens....
"I will try toggle signature, read that in another thread, its now enabled, hope this will do it."
What should i do, think this is the last step before using Desire HD Rom.
Please help! thanks.
I think this is the third time in tow days that this question is asked.

No disable.
hmm i think it was, since i pressed it once and it said enable.
But anyway i will try, thanks.
Still the same, exclamation + an android
Last thing I know is to clear cache in rom manager and flash recovery again, also in rom manager. Then try again.

Thanks that did it....could see it formating!
That worked for me too, thanks...
Well I have been interested in creating an ext 3 partition on my SD card for a while, but shiied away from doing it because it all seemed too complicated. But this morning I read in one of LeeDroid's threads that I should try it through ROM Manager. I had the same result mentioned earlier in this thread - ! + Android.
So I when I saw that it could be fixed by clearing the cache in ROM Manager, etc, I tried that. Well that seemed to work but now when it tries to boot, it takes 10 minutes before I pull out the battery in frustration.
Have I "bricked" it or can I recover from here? I don't seem to be able to get back into recovery mode at all.
Please help!!!
Does your phone boot? If yes you can try to to clear the cache again and the reflash CWM from Rom Manager. Otherwise you can try to delete the update.zip (should only be a couple of Mb otherwise it's a rom) from the sd and replace it with this one.
And if you are already S-off, which i don't think you are nor recommend you to do, you can flash it via fastboot.
I should also have mentioned earlier that I am running a LeeDroid ROM v 2.2e. Since my last post, I re-formatted the SD card and restored my sd card copy to it, so all that data should be intact again.
It booted normally but I noticed that I had a message saying that the SD was "safe to remove". I tried to mount the sd card, but that didn't work. So I then thought I should clear all data. So I rebooted into Recovery mode, deleted all data including Dalvik. Then rebooted. Unfortunately it now goes into a loop. It gets through the old Telstra splash screen, then makes its Android noise, goes through all the checks and says "Success", then goes into the same loop again.
Any suggestions??
When I am in Recovery mode, I can see no reference to the "signature verification" functionality. Where can I find it?
By the way, I have now updated to the LeeDroid 2.3 ROM with the patch applied. Currently I have a blank SD formatted card. When I try to format ext 3 to 512mb as suggested by LeeDroid, I still get the ! + Android.
Thanks
Assuming you are using Clockwork Recovery, boot into recovery and select 'Install zip from SD card', then select 'Toggle signature verification' to turn off signature checking and flash your rom update zip.

Thanks for your advice, but I still ahven't resolved my issue.
I am trying to create an ext3 partition on my sd card using ROM Manager. This time I went into Recovery and yes I am using Clockwork, I toggled signature varification to 'disable', then rebooted. Next I opened ROM Manager and then 'Partition SD Card'. I set ext3 to 512mb and swap to 0mb and clicked OK.
The device rebooted and then hung with the exclamation mark and Android showing. I went into Recovery again by pressing back and on/off keys. The following error message was displayed:
"E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)
E;signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
I get the same message regardless of having the signature toggle set to 'enable' or 'disable'.
Any suggestions for what I should try next?
Thanks

You have several options here, you can first try reinstalling Rom Manager to see if that helps, if not, you could try using this tool to partition the sd card: MiniTool Partition Wizard, or use the Amon-Ra recovery - flash it with unrEVOked and use that to partition your sd card.
As an alternative, you can try using an Ubuntu live cd of GParted by either burning it to a cd or boot it from a usb stick: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.
Or, you use it from within Ubuntu (vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE&feature=related)
1) Connect your phone to your computer (or use an SD Card adapter...., in this case skip to 4)
2) Pull down the notification bar and mount the phone
3) Start Gparted
4) Gparted will search available drives. (Your phone should show up as a USB drive, and will be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1, etc..)
Warning: double-check you've not selected a hdd by mistake!
5) In the upper right corner, select the correct USB device for your phone. (i.e. check to make sure it is correct size for your SD card)
6) Right click on each partition and select 'unmount'
7) Right click on each partition and select 'delete'
If you know what you are doing, you can re-size the partitions and add a new 2nd partition formatted as ext2/3/4
8) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
9) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = fat32
Free Space Following = 512 (or whatever you want)
10) Click add
11) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
12) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = ext2/3/4 (recommend ext4)
Free Space Following = 0 (or ~32 if you want swap)
Click add
13) Click edit, then 'Apply All Operations' to write changes to disk
14) Quit GParted
15) Unmount your SD Card
16) Reboot your phone
Thanks for your suggestions. I downloaded MiniTool Partition Wizard, but for some reason the "Create" function on the tool bar was greyed out so I could not create a new partition. I'll keep trying though. Cheers.
Oks, let us know how you get on.

well, the latest on my happenings is that I took a bit more time to look at the MiniTool Partition app and was able to partition the sd card successfully. Because I was a bit apprehensive, I used a 2GB sd card for an initial trial and it took me a while to get it right, but I did it in the end.
Unfortunately (there's always one of them isn't there?), now when I connect my Desire to the USB and select "Disk Drive", it seems to connect as if it is "Charge Only" mode. I cannot see the sd card in MS Explorer! Also if I take the sd card out of the device and put it into the sd card slot in my laptop, I cannot read it with MS Explorer, but I can see it using the MiniTool Partition app.
I'll try it again tonight on my desktop to see if there is any difference.
I had your problem with the partition manager but I think you are making a basic mistake somewhere with rom manager. You need to boot into recovery and disable the signature verification as per instructions in this thread. Make sure it says 'disabled'. Then choose 'Reboot system now'. If you had rebooted, turned the phone off and booted again, the signature verification would have been enabled again. You must make sure you toggle and then boot the system immediately. I had your problems exactly but they were fixed by the toggle. The only other suggestion I can make is to clear the cache and the dalvick cache before you toggle and then boot and use rom manager.

Hi all
(This problem is fixed, plz go to #4 for more)
I am now using link2sd with CM7.2. Link2SD worked well with rooted stock ROM.
After I unlocked the bootloader and flashed 3rd-party ROMs, link2sd went crazy and this happens on both Arconium and CM7.2.
When I was trying to restore my apps from Titanium backup, link2sd should automatically link the apps to 2nd partition of the sd card (it is an ext3 partition), this works fine at the first few apps. However, when the restore progressed, link2sd would encounter errors with error message telling me "/data/sdext2 ..... " has a read-only file system. This would be "solved" temporarily but re-appears when I tried to restore apps in batch again.
Also, the internal storage sometimes fills up ridiculously. With no new apps in the internal storage, it would be filled up with only <4MB left. No space is freed even if I wiped cache and dalvik-cache in CWM.
Now I formatted the 2nd partition as FAT32 to see whether the problem would appear again.
These just sound very strange to me, it would be grateful if someone can help. Thanks.
With cm7 use "s2e"

Thanks for your information, does that mean I have to switch from link2sd to s2e? Is it okay to use link2sd with FAT32 partition? thanks
hi all, i just found a possible solution to this problem.
Just insert the SD card to computer and boot into GParted, because Windows only recognize the first partition, but Linux recognizes all (how crappy Windows is LOL)
And then check the 2nd partition, GParted will check and fix all the errors on the partition. After that insert the SD card back to the phone and this problem would not appear again.
Probably it is caused by a corrupted filesystem, maybe due to frequent IO on the partition, or unclean booting and shutdown.
Tried and tested

Hi, I tried your method as I'm having the same problem
but after about a minute of linking the internal applications that I normally have on my sd-ext partition, the same problem reappears.
I used the "Check" option on GParted to check and fix errors on my sd-card and it did it without a problem, however it did mess up on the first running of the program...
any ideas? I hate how Link2SD just dies now and then, it's absolutely vital for my phone!
Link2sd Read Only Error
I had this error from last 2 days, i searched a lot, but it solves only by updating super user.... now its working.

Bro, I've same problem with "read only" 2nd partition for my Galaxy Mini, and I want to fix it.
But can you tell me how to use Gparted? FYI I use windows 7 for my cpu. Should I have to use Gparted via CD?
Hi,
Every time the phone boots have a message "mount warning" and i must quick reboot the phone in order to see my linked apps, which could be the cause?
Thanks
Is there a solution for this in the meantime? Since Lineage OS 17.1 I have exactly the same problem, even though it is a new SD card.

Solved "read-only" problem.

Hi guys,
I'm facing a problem here, which is that my phone doesn't auto mount 2nd Part of SD Card for Link2SD (while booting) if I use GL2SD.
Link2SD is working fine, it auto mounts the 2nd Partition as well after every reboot.
But if I use GL2SD, when the 2nd part is mounted (obviously) via Link2SD for apps, I don't get any problems, but when I turn my phone on next time (call it a restart or reboot) i get the Mount Warning that 2nd part failed to mount while boot and is mount after the boot so your apps will not be shown.
And i choose that "recreate mount scrip option" and reboot and all apps appear.
But why is it happening?
Can't I mount using the second app if one app is using the mount option?
Also RAMExpander shows that device is busy while turning Swap Off.
And yes I tap the unmount button before turning GL2SD off, it's set to auto unmount on exit as well.
Why the usage of GL2SD is affecting the mount status of Link2SD?
Please help me.
