lol luckly i live in singapore
first of all, lets start with custom recovery
1. Download the custom recovery file from here and here
2. DO NOT rename them, and put them neatly inside the ROOT of the SD CARD (that means it should be at /sdcard/ on androids
3. next, get Terminal Emulator from the market. search it.
4. Get a nice keyboard to work on for a while. you need to type A LOT
5. get titanium backup and backup everything. menu > batch
6. reboot phone.
7. Turn on phone and go to terminal and type the following
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*there should be no error except at stage 5 there could be, but not always.
8. good. flash complete. now grab the megatron ROM and the lagfix. they both should be .zip . DONT OPEN IT.
9 put the two inside the root of SD card
10. go to terminal, write
su
*press enter*
reboot recovery
11. you should have a menu of things. go to flash zip or sth (you will know) w/ ur volume buttons
12. press menu and you will be able to choose the two zips. flash any of them first, and do the second afterwords.
13. YAY DONE
14. no need for bucks thanks. just press the thanks button down there. its free.
*PM or EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT FURTHER HELP*

Also, isnt 2.2.2 not rootable??
I think it has to be downgraded to 2.2 and then rooted..
Edit:
Sorry, My mistake.. Didnt realize 2.2.2 is rootable now..
2.2.2 it's now rootable
It says that "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh ": No such file or directory.
I'm sure that I placed both of the files on the root of my sdcard
Well, I guess the hardest part is getting the recovery. Well I share my method so, here we go.
What you need:
1. terminal emulator(download from market - free)
2. recovery installer(download here)
3. your ROM which is megatron(download here)
4. Touch-screen bug fix(download here)
5. Back-up all your SD contents to your PC.
-. optional: if your file explorer doesn't support unrar/unzipping, download one. but since you have a PC just use winrar.
when you have everything, lets start.
1. extract contents of "recovey_installer.rar" to the root(meaning the base) of your SDcard.(it contains 3 files, so you should also see 3 new files on your SD card).
2. open terminal emulator, enter these lines(press enter after each line):
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
just wait and this should reboot you directly to recovery.
3. now in recovery(remember: "vol + and - button" is "up and down" "menu button is ok/select" and "back button" is back) select options:
Partition sdcard > partition SD
4. when asked choose your desired partition size then choose swap size as 0. This should format your SD card.(initially this will leave you with an ext2 partition, if you want ext3 then upgrade it to ext3 and so on using the same menu)
5. when done, press back repeatedly and reboot.
6. now, move your ROM(megatron) and the touchscreen-lag-fix files to the root of your SD card.
7. open terminal again and enter these commands
Code:
su
reboot recovery
just wait and it should bring you back to recovery.
8. in recovery, choose option:
- flash zip menu
- to avoid hiccups just toggle the signature verification
- flash zip from sdcard
- first flash your rom(megatron), when done immediately flash touchscreen-bug-fix
- press back repeatedly then reboot.
9. enjoy

just ignore that error message. this line is only there for those with different phone models which has the mention file in the phone internal storage. so this shouldn't affect optimus one users.
@ungaze, i did your way . It took me to android system recovery .
Anyway it didnt ask me for partition sdcard. So should i just reboot my phone?
congratulations, you now have recovery. you should see some options.
press volume buttons to navigate up and down(menu button=select/ok). Choose the option:
- Partition sdcard
- Partition SD
If you want to explore your phone a bit more, you could just reboot your phone for now. Just remember, to go back to recovery you could open terminal and enter:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
or when phone is off, press and hold "power/lock button"+"home button"+"vol down button" until recovery menu shows up.
Alright , did that . My friend told me about nandroid how can i do that before i flash the other roms ?
theres a menu option "backup/restore" open it and choose "nand backup". when done, there should be a folder in your SD named "nand" copy the contents to a pc or somewhere safe as this will serve as your backup file.
Okay, i did a nandroid and ready to flash roms . Wish me well =)
Anyway why do i receive E:Bad boot message when i reboot recovery.
everyone has it. it's perfectly fine. good luck
Anyway, as I was nandroid-ing i saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5GWgjJT2zo in the end, it shows the guy having no reception?
edit: He didnt have it on at the first place anyway. Sorry for the inconvenience.
i didnt view the link but im guessing hes using amon_ra v1.1, the method i gave you installs amon_ra v1.2 which fixes most bugs with ext4 and nand recovery/backup
By toggl-ing signature verification do you mean to enable or disable it?
disable. this is really not necessary as the zips youre about to apply are surely signed. but in case you have problems in the future, just remember that disabling sig veryfication may fix the problem.
Thanks man, how do i donate to you?
Btw i just screw my phone. Stuck at android screen page ;(. How do i restore the nandroid backup? Should i wipe my phone first, then do nandroid restore?
Will it restore me my version 2.2.2?
When i nandroid it , my phone was on ver 2.2.2
Ungaze?

Hey plz tell me in detail how do i install custom rom (most stable with excellent performance) in my lg p500!!!
plz answer in detail including how do i wipe sd card and all
THnx in advandee
Have you rooted your phone?
Well I'll assume that you have an P500 with v2.2.2, Stock Rom Untouched.
Firstly you would want to root the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Download Gingerbreak
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled(Can be enabled through settings)
- Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- Place the app onto the root of your SD card
- Open the APK, press the root button
- Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
Congratulations the phone is rooted.

After rooting your phone, you must have 1) Recovery Installer
2) Terminal Emulator (Free from market)
3) The Custom Rom
I recommend FranciscoFranco's Rom as it contains excellent tweaks without hassle of flashing many files which may cause your phone to brick.
Recovery Installer, You can get it from: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11987571/quick/recovery_installer.rar
when you have everything, lets start
1. extract contents of "recovey_installer.rar" to the root(meaning the base) of your SDcard.(it contains 3 files, so you should also see 3 new files on your SD card).
2. open terminal emulator, enter these lines(press enter after each line):
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
just wait and this should reboot you directly to recovery.
3. now in recovery(remember: "vol + and - button" is "up and down" "menu button is ok/select" and "back button" is back)
Congratulations, Your Recovery Installer is installed.
Now, You can get FranciscoFranco's Rom which is called Devoid from
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049518
Download franco.devoid and the kernel.
Go to recovery boot
1.Select Wipe and Wipe everything and that includes data+factory settings, cache, system, .android-secure and sd-ext partition (if you had it already)
2. Select ext partition and choose either ext2/3/4 : 512mb,swap:0
3.Toggle usb connection and place devoid.franco and the kernel zip files onto your sd card.
4.Select flash and flash devoid.franco first then flash the kernel.You do not need to toggle signature verify as it should have signatured. If you are a ***** then carry on and toggle signature verify.
5.Reboot.

There's an option where it says "wipe" when you are in your recovery boot you should enter that category and wipe what the developer says.
Also there should be a guide of how to flash cm7 onto your phone in the thread itself
There shouldn't be any problem .
Do you mean you do not know how to enter recovery boot menu?
If so, open your terminal emulator and type
su
reboot recovery
It will reboot your phone to recovery boot.
Then wipe what the developer asks you to wipe,
make the partition on your sd card wether its ext2/3/4
Then flash it.

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF ANYTHING IS WRONG
I do not take any responsibility if you break your device, ask sony to make them easier to update.
Suggestions about roms and kernels are welcome.
1- REQUIREMENTS
Check in Settings -> About phone
there should be
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Android: 2.1.1.A.0.6
- Check out if you are root with Root Checker
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=related_apps
- If not, to root you can use this
[APP]SuperOneClick (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Before using it, in android start Settings from the app-menu. Tap Applications > Development > USB debugging. Accept warning-popup by tapping OK.
- Make backups of your things with some app like Titanium Backup or mybackup
- Install Busybox Installer from market and open it
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&feature=search_result
- Install a root file manager (so you can see and modify system files) like
Root Explorer
- Check if your hardware keyboard language layout is supported
Hardware Keyboards | Sony Ericsson Keyboards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982341
- if not, you will need to copy and send to that forum your language files
"I need to the following from you guys so we can make the hardware keyboard work:
your qwerty.kcm.bin and your qwerty.kl from your old Sony Ericsson Firmware (in /system/usr/) i need the entire folder with keyboard-config, keyboard-chars etc..
List your buttons and which button should have which character on blue/sym button and if you need capital letters as well which key should appear on blue/sym and shift button press
List you special signs, like underscore, plus,minus, etc .. even if you need a key frequently which is not on the default keyboard layout from sony we can still place it on a different button suitable for you
and last but not least any special requests, like numbers or so in the wrong place.
If you want to have an exact copy of your hardware keyboard as it is on your device (like the blue letters and number) please post a picture
As for many of you having troubles with "shift" key not working. Touch the text input window and hold you finger on it until a menu appears, choose android keyboard and NOT the HTC one I don't know why but "shift" key will work again"
2 Install a RECOVERY
[RECOVERY] ClockWorkMod Installer
Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257701
Usage from a Windows computer:
You need to set your phone in Debugging Mode.
Connect your phone to your computer
Open up install.bat and follow the instructions inside that.
Usage from a Linux computer:
Requires your phone to be ROOTed but there is now a ROOTer for Linux that can ROOT your phone if not already done. Can be found in this forum.
You need to set your phone in Debugging Mode
Connect your phone to your computer
Open up terminal
Go to the directory it is extracted to
Start the installer by typing "sh cwm-x10minipro.sh"
3 USE CWM to make a backup of everything:
-Power off phone
-When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' letters appear, press and release continuously the 'back' button.
Once you are in the CW recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' or camera button key to select, the 'back' key to go back.
- Make a backup of everything
- Reboot normally, connect the phone to the pc, and copy everything inside the sd card to the pc
4 WITH FULL BATTERY DELETE EVERYTHING AND INSTALL A NEW ROM USING CWM:
DO THE THINGS MARKED WITH *RED
When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' letters appear, press and release continuously the 'back' button.
Once you are in the CW recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' or camera button key to select, the 'back' key to go back.
We need to make a full wipe:
ADB root shell
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
*wipe data / factory reset
*wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
backup (also backs up ext partition and installed apps to sdcard)
restore (also restores ext partition and installed apps to sdcard)
restore from xRecovery (Use this in case you want to restore backups done with xRecovery)
advanced restore
mounts and storage
*UNMOUNT ALL OF THESE:
*mount / unmount /cache
*mount / unmount /data
*mount / unmount /sdcard
*mount / unmount /system
*mount / unmount /sd-ext
*mount / unmount /cache
*FORMAT ALL OF THESE:
*format /cache
*format /data
*format /sdcard (not really needed)
*format /system
*format /sd-ext
mount USB storage
advanced
reboot recovery
*wipe Dalvik Cache
wipe Battery Stats
report Error
key Test
*partition SD Card
*Ext Size 512MB (formatting as ext4)
*Swap Size (Set this to 0)
*Rest Size is for vfat
fix permissions
validate recovery
restore recovery
*power off
- After you power off, take the microsd card and put it in a card reader, and connect it to your computer.
(Or you could connect the phone by usb and from CWM go to mounts and storage -> mount sdcard)
- Put inside the big FAT32 partition, the rom-u-want-to-install.zip, it must be CWM compatible
Here you can get some info about some of the latests roms:
http://xperiaminicyanogen.wordpress.com
- go to CWM and do install zip from sdcard
leave it finish and reboot after a bit
SOME OTHER USEFUL LINKS
- Once you finish installing a new rom, you can use this app in Window$ to set up your Hardware Keyboard to your preferred supported language:
[APP] Hardware Keyboard Language Setter KeyboardSwitcher.zip
program so you can switch your Phone's Hardware Keyboard with just two clicks on the PC.

Awesome and mostly right!
But there is one thing I don't understand: if you managed to install xrecovery and know how to use it, why do you need cwm??? Either install that rom with xrec, or with cwm.
Anyway it's really good!
I read somewhere that clockwork recovery was better and more complete, and that it seems the way to go. Is that right? I wish there was an easier way to instal it. In other phones you can instal it from rom manager app, maybe in the future they support this phone also.

Oh, yea? Well thx, now i realized xrec is even better than I thought! So I have no reason why to install cwm ( i never did )
So theres not any benefit of running cwm over xrec?
If anything is wrong please correct it.
It works perfect for my taste is better than Xrecovery.
Who comes to Xrecovery that delete xrecovery.tar in system / bin

Thanks, that is a problem that both conflict. Best way would be to use cwm only, but I could not find an easier method. I will update the instructions. Maybe installing rom manager app by slade darkness and co?. it is not finished, but it lets you instal cwm
Finally, there is a new app to instal the recovery you want with just a click, seek it on the dev thread

Just bought a SE X10 mini pro. Rooted via the one click app.
Want to install CM7
tried all the apps (Rom manager(appstore and here from the forums), d4 recovery installer)
The auto-install apps don't really seem to do anything.
The 'Install xrecovery' options don't actually install it. Clockwork installs the old version 3.0.0.8 if anything (from the market rom manager).
The rom manager app from xda downloads and seemingly installs clockworkrecovery mod / says so in the notifications, but doesn't seem like it really does. I can't boot into it by pressing the back button at the SE writing (before or during)
I did manage to install xrecovery-mini 0.11 via a root file manager and boot into it, but the options didn't match the FAQ for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117713, so I ended up screwing up and reflashing via SEUS.
Could someone please point out what I was doing wrong (or how to flash the CM7 image and then the hotfixes via xrecovery-mini), or maybe if there's really point and click app that works to do the xrecovery/cm mod parts without me screwing things up.
gaah... Installed clockwork recovery mod 3.2.0.0 but when I try to install the CM7 rom it tells me off saying Amend scripting is no longer supported/switch back to edify scripting etc.
What exactly should I do to install the rom ?
(oooh wait, it says to use xrec , fail )
but it is old, the new cwm is with apk install! C:
sure, much more easy now. I updated it, I will try to post the links to rom manager and recovery installer apps
cwm recovery vs xrecovery
I tried installing xrecovery. I should say I succeeded in installing xrecovery, it installed, and worked fine except no bootscreen when I turn the phone on. All 3 green checks showed up, but nothing happens.
Phone is rooted
busybox installed via busybox installer which shows the phone is rooted and the version of busybox.
All files (changemon, busybox and the tar files) in /system/bin with permissions set to rwxrwxrwx.
Am trying to figure out how to instal cmw recovery instead of xrecovery... not much luck so far.
Advice appreciated!
Hello, 1st post criticize me! LOL
I'm trying to figure out the same...
I'm totally new here and I'm trying to install the CWM Recovery.
it says: "Download and instal the recovery installer apk by darknessys"
when I look the installer it is not compatible with stock roms.
which method should I use to install the CWM recovery?
Ummm download this http://www.4shared.com/file/KQf9bym2/AAIS.html
Extract aais.zip to /sdcard
goto terminal emulator and give following commands
su
cd /sdcard/aais
sh install.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
choose ur option and enter the number of the option
only for mini pro as of now!
So recovery installer apk by darknessys or rom manager apk, both can not be used on stock eclair rom? can anyone confirm this?
Edit- it seems that those apps don't support stock rom, that is weird, I thought they would work, try at least with darknessys recovery installer.
if not, the easiest way for now I guess would be to install xrecovery and then cwm.
So if someone knows how to easily install cwm on stock rom, please advise.
I don't know if what galvic suggests works or what it does, but you can take a look to the script.
Getting crazy

It depends on what Home Ui you are using. I think all the launcher has panel selection option where you can choose how many of them you want. Select as per your convince.

yup!! i have done that procedure but after installtion when i choose the reboot option the system gets stucked and until unless i restore my old backup its not working again that's the main problem
the theme is said to be working only on some roms....see this...
Dont Flash On Non Deodexed Rom(Stock Rom)
Dont Flash On Any 2.2.X Roms And 2.3.X Roms. Ty for your cooperation.
COMPATIBLE WITH : VOID/DEVOID & Open Optimus
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH: NESSY HYPNOS2
so that may be the problem....
check with the theme maker..
hit the thanks button if i have helped you...
and if you are using it for the right rom....then try once again after wiping cache,dalvik cache and sd card....backup first if you want...
hit the thanks button if i have helped you...
hmm may the rom might be a problem anyways thanks for the help... btwn what about home screen slides any solution to it??
btwn this is the rom which am using right now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242
the theme doesn't work on the rom you have (judging what the theme maker says)....and for home slides....use zeam launcher...and in preferences-workspace-set no. of home screens to 1 and select your default screen...
hit the thanks button if i have helped you

Boy,
You not need any application for it. Just press switch on/Off button for bin longer. There you can see reboot. Boot into recovery must be there. If reboot in recovery is not there then down load terminal emulator along with attached zip file. Extract zip in SD root. Install terminal emulator. And write following commands..
SU (press Enter) allow super user.
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak(press Enter)
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img(press Enter)
reboot recovery(press Enter)
Boot custom recovery from powered off is vol_down + home + power
After this you can easily boot into custom recovery. And flash whatever you want. But make sure those are compatible e with your device.

Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!
How to use ADB shell. Please back up your sd card before trying this
For all those not sure on how to install ADB shell and then the gingerbread ready xrecovery 0.3, Here is a simple tutorial on how to do it.
First download the xrecovery gingerbread ready zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571 Then
1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13430042&postcount=25 and put all the files into a folder in C drive, preferentially name the folder adb and extract the zip file into it.
(thanks doomlord for the link)
2. Connect phone to usb and computer and enable unknown sources and enable usb debugging.
3. Reboot into your current xrecovery
4. Go to start on the bottem left of your windows, then Run...
5. Type cmd and then press okay( run cmd )
6. Type cd \adb and press enter
7. Type adb.exe and press enter
8. Type adb shell and press enter
9. Type rm -r /sdcard and press enter
10. Type mkdir sdcard and press enter
11. Type chmod 777 sdcard and press enter
12. Now go to your phone and install custom zip x recovery gingerbread ready
13. Reboot and go back into your new xrecovery
This is for all those that have problems mounting recovery images all credits go to zdzihu and doomlord just providing a simpler way to install it
(btw this is a compilation of instructions from zdzihu's post and doomlord's post and i take absoulutely no credit for it)
good luck with that. All it does is erase, or make your old directory totally unavailable.
uh? it doesent erase anything all my files are still in my sd card just help to fix the cant mount image problem when ur flashing custom zip if your using like prerooted version of 2.3.3 doomlords etc.
my sdcard is coming up blank now in xrecovery....., and I can't connect with the usb either
### Plezzz BACK YOUR SD CARD OR ANY MOUNT/DRIVE UP BEFORE rm -rf /* ANYTHING. ###
All this is going to do is remove everything stored on your sdcard inclueing your security certs if u have passwords or screen locks. Also the only thing that xrec stores on your sd and backups zip an the logo.this will not remove any configs or xrec from the phone.
rm -r /sdcard/xrecovery <--- This Will Remove The Xrec data storeed on the phone but still this will not work .
and this is in the xrecovery install 1.0 see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
This is a dublepost
Great, thanx for tutorial?!
Weird im not a developer so i dun know why this is happening but my sd card is working perfectly and nothing has been erased. on ericwills rom for the past few hours and it is flying
For all those who dun want to mess around with adb shell, i suggest you to take a look at doomlords thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808 if your recovery has some problems mounting images
fyi depending on your computer, it may end up corrupting your sdcard as well.
what computer os are u using? do a full reformat of your sd card?
hi folks,
I installed a new Kernel on my Samsung Galaxy S plus. Its on CyanogenMod 10.1. I overclocked the default 1.4 GHz processor to 1.8 GHz. Mistakenly i set the options on the app as set on boot. Now after booting its freezing up.
I can boot in Recovery mode. Any idea how to push the stock kernel file to the SD card?
I don't have any backup ROMs or kernels on the phone. Neither is the Debugging mode on.
I don't want to do a factory reset now. Please help.
Using ADB i tried the push option
K:\ADB>adb.exe push Stock_Kernel.zip /sdcard/
this also showed that the file was pushed
1877 KB/s (3665845 bytes in 1.906s)
but there is no zip file on the sdcard
Is there anything i can do with Eclipse ?
Regards,
Anoop
[SOLVED] Phone freeze on Kernel overclocking
hi all,
This was resolved by Christopher83 whose Kernel i was testing.
Resolution steps:
1. Created a folder called ADB in my PC's K: drive
2. Copied these three files into that folder - 1. adb.exe, 2. AdbWinApi.dll and 3. AdbWinUsbApi.dll
3. Copied the stock kernel zip file there too
4. Rebooted the phone in Recovery mode
5. Connected the phone to PC(Windows) with USB cable once the Recovery screen came up
6. Waited till the two drives were seen in the Windows drive list
7. Executed the command window and typed the below in it after changing the directory to the ADB one
K:\ADB>adb.exe shell mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 /sdcard
K:\ADB>adb.exe shell ls -l /sdcard/ (to see the list of files)
K:\ADB>adb.exe push Stock_Kernel.zip /sdcard/
K:\ADB>adb.exe shell ls -l /sdcard/ (again to see the list of files and to confirm that the stock zip was copied)8. Disconnected the USB
(please try to do these steps a bit faster, my Recovery screen blanked out after 2 or 3 minutes of inactivity)
9. In the Recovery mode i did the following -
a) Install zip from sdcard
b)Choose zip file and then selected the stock kernel zip and flashed it10. Wiped cache and Dalvik and fixed permission
11. Rebooted and all was fine like before (after all the apps were automatically fixed)
thanks very much, Christopher
You're welcome!
Thank you too for your patience.
Probably you are using a Recovery that is not an ADC Team recovery (this is why you have a shutdown after 2-3 minutes)... provide to update it with the Fixed ones we published (CWM or TWRP)... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463347
In general if an OC kernel has been set to apply the OC/UV during boot (and these settings are not stable for your hardware), the easy way is to switch on the phone in recovery and flash the stock kernel that is NOT OC/UV... in this way the phone can start booting with standard frequencies/voltages... after booting, go in Performance settings and set newly the frequencies and set also the Set On Boot switch...
If you used an external app to set the OC parameters, with the stock kernel, open it and remove the Set On Boot option... in this way there is no stored values anymore... than you can reinstall OC kernel...
If you reinstall the OC kernel, I expect that the standard settings will be taken and used... an anyway be carefully with the settings... before set them on boot, be sure they do not give problems, to avoid a new booting freeze... remember that all the phones are different, so one can accept OC and UV, another not... that's life!!

Install Touch version of TWRP

d) Select install from SD Card
e) Select TWRP file and install

Hi,
sorry but I lost your message.
Yes the procedure is nearly correct... but:
a) Copy the TWRP Recovery zip file to SD card
b) Reboot in Recovery mode (from the rom menu)
c) Soft reboot to recovery mode again (just to be sure nothing strange will happen)
d) Select install from SD Card
e) Select TWRP file and install
f) Reboot to recovery and check the new one
g) Reboot to system...
I hope I understood your PM... if not write me back.
