So I was running out of space on my phone and it was getting bogged down a lot because it didn’t have available memory to run smoothly.

This was my main source of help on the rooting

Here’s the basic run down to get a sure thing:

  1. Make sure phone is not plugged into USB
  2. Turn off phone
  3. Turn on phone in recovery (Hold Power + Home at same time)
  4. Phone loads with simple green menu
  5. Go to Wipe >
    * wipe data/factory reset
    * wipe dalvik-cache
    * wipe sd:ext partition
    * wipe battery stats
    * wipe rotate settings
    (important for things to load right, especially if you had a custom ROM before)
  6. Go to Partition > Partition SD card (Swap = 0, Ext = 512MB, FAT32 = Remaining)
  7. Plug phone into computer via USB cable
  8. Go to USB-MS Toggle > Enable
  9. On PC: Drag your ROM .zip file on to SD card *
  10. On PC: If you want Live Wallpapers – drag that file on to SD card as well **
  11. On Phone: Disable USB
  12. Flash .zip from SD
  13. Reboot phone
  14. Before you do anything else – Press Menu > Settings > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > Clear Data (This gets the clock to show up on the home screen)
  15. Go to town on downloading apps and happiness

* Find a ROM that automatically enables Apps2sd if the SD card is partitioned.

* I use DamageControl 2.09.01 – Stable and fast 2.1 rom, especially when running apps from the SD card

** Live Wallpapers file
