Hi,
Im on 2.1 .435 roooted with busybox installed.
i downloaded a CM7.0.0-RC1-3.ZIP (74MB) from a link followed on this forum.
I created a folder called "xrecovery" and "backup" on SD card
I went into xrecovery menu and made a backup
I then did a factory wipe, wiped cache partition,wiped Dalvik cache, wiped battery stats.
I then chose to install custom ROM from SD Card (this is where the problem arose), after selecting the CM7 ROM ZIP folder, i selecting install.
A few seconds later i get an error message saying installation aborted ,"ERROR E:SD CARD/(then gives the location of the cm7.zip file in sd card)
could i have downloaded the wrong CM7.ZIP file? or did i put the CM7.zip file on the wrong place on the SD Card? the error occurs when custom zip file is installing.
Pls advice.
Unzip your file and there you have update.zip this is the one you should flash in recovery, then reboot and then flash gapps.
P.s wrong forum section!

I unzipped it but there is no "update.zip" and "gapps" there.
Then you have the wrong file.
Only cm7 working for x10 is jerpeleas cm7 rom.

hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

reboot into clockwork mod and select install zip from sd card...the rest is self explanitory

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

I have done all of the above, may be the zip file got corrupted. Anyway, i will try again this weekend. thanks
How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube
Have you wiped cache/dalvink cache/android secure and the rest from the wipe menu?

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

Do I need to install that new recovery? Or is the one you posted a link to OK?
There is a new recovery that's been in the development forum for a few weeks that says it's for gingerbread.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.
Is it possible to get the SMS widget back? The simple one from Market sucks...
Do I need to partition the SD-card?? The directions made no mention of this.
how to enable 3G mode only in this rom ?
Good work, very useful.
I have the updated cwm unlocked fresh sbf1.83. I can get to apply update but no file to flash says says up date zip not found. I can see it in atro manager though. How do I flash it.

You have to "Install Zip from SD card"... then use the menus to navigate to where you stored it.
no such line on cwm 0630-1029
I do not have that option it was on the old cwm but cant seem to find in on the new one? only have update zip wipe cach and reset
You need to update to the newer CWM. If you haven't unlocked you can get it in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143&highlight=cmw+recovery
If you've already unlocked you'd want the latest/greatest available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541&highlight=cmw+recovery
I have the newest installed from 6/30

No option list to choose zip from sd card is listed

Try renaming it to update.zip, because when you choose get to apply update its searching for a file named update.zip.
Plus the new CWM supports internal SD card.
Fixed Thank You
I had to reflash 2 in order to bring all the options up.
How do I switch to another ROM using CWM or ROM manager. I am using CM7 and would like to explore other ROMs. Need HELP tnx

You tend to find the first post of each Rom thread will give you detailed flashing instructions.

Firstly here's a video demonstrating how to flash a rom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVwiiSStuSQ
Installation Instructions:
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Might need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache (read the devs instructions)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let it flash)
and next time search for the threads instead of creating a new one, because the admins will most probably delete it lol.
Reboot, Enjoy!
Thanks thanks!

no problem!
I get some directory error that I can't copy and paste, but it has to do with the sdcard folder.
I wiped cache/dalvik before trying to install via clockwork 4.0.0.4.
Anyone have an idea what the issue is?
Many thanks, and happy browsing.

Just giving a quick bump because I still cant get this to work.
Do I need to factory reset as well? If so, this is new to me, and I think it may be wise to include these details in the Kernel thread, as not everyone is 100% on these sorts of things.
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
So when you boot into CWM recovery do you see the kernel .zip on your sd card?
Steps for installing pershoot's kernel.
Place file in root of SD card
Boot into CWM Recovery
select install zip from SD
choose kernel zip file
select yes
reboot
No need to wipe anything, should be a quick boot up.
