Hi,
I'm noob that got Vibrant phone (from EBAY) that already ROOTED & ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (I don't how...)
With :
KERNEL : 2.6.32.9
BASEBAND : T959UVKB1
BUILD : BIONIX-V 1.3.1
SUPERUSER V2.3.6
SU BINARY V2.3.1-EF
VOODOO LAGFIX
In recovery I see :
ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (ALL IN RED)
apply sdcard update.zip
wipe data \ factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
voodoo
+++++Go Back+++++
I don't have any backups so I want to install ROM MANAGER from market, I read HERE that if i want to upgrade I need to go go back to stock (I'm really don't know how this version get to the phone and somehow the ROM MANAGER not there...)
Do I must go back to stock or I can download ROM MANAGER, Install it and make something like "Upgrade" - I don't know what is the voodoo lagfix and do I need to uninstall it if I want to:
1. install ROM MANAGER and preform Backup & Restore (most important how to verify my backup OK )
2. Move to Trigger 3.2
Can some guide me with simple steps about how to start (I know that I'm not starting for 0 ether in the phone and ether in my knowledge)
Thanks.
Download Trigger
Install titanium backup, backup all of your apps
Move to internal, /sdcard
Reboot to red recovery
Make a backup
Wipe
Flash, instal from sd
Reboot
Wait
Reboot
Restore
Reboot
this says it all

This says it all, but since you are a noob
by wipe, he means to wipe everything (data(factory reset), cache, delvik cache(thats on the advanced options)
As for the titanium backup if you dont know how to use it, just youtube it or go over the threads here
Finally when doing the flash, make sure the trigger 3.2 file is on the sd card
And NO you dont have to go back to stock
1. Do all this without using the Rom Manager?!?!?!? - If I want to install it just download & Install, no any pre-requisit ?
2. when you say Wipe - you mean to "wipe data \ factory reset" or "wipe cache partition" ?
3. Flash, instal from sd = "install zip from sdcard" ?
4. Wait = how much time
5. Restore = Restore what?
Can you direct me to step by step guide for this or input some details?
Thanks alot

Hi,
I checked your guide and even see the video and I have Q, about the "Rom Manager", I saw In your video that you Use it...
Someone told me that my current ClockWorldMod Recovery is old and I should upgrade it... (I couldn't find in the net \ this forum how to upgrade my current version...).
Someone told me:
1. download from market
2. install it with ROOT
3. click "Flash Clockwork Recovery" and boot to recovery
4. Re-install Packages - I DON'T HAVE THIS OPTION NOW
and from there like in your guide: backup,make all the Wipe, place rom on sd and choose "install zip from sd card"
1. Is it true and should work?
2. should I follow those steps (in this order)
3. should I make a backup before and after I download and "Flash Clockwork Recovery"
4. If I follow this orders should I see the "Re-install Packages" that I don't see now and should I need to use it ?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to "understand" (as much as can) what I'm doing.
Thanks Again
Earlier I was sending you messages from my phone while waiting for an appointment... let me try again...
You have the red voodoo recovery. You do not need anything else. Ignore Rom Manager and all that, you really do not need it, because your ROM replaced this recovery with the stock one. You are good.
Just download the rom
make backups
go flash the rom
enjoy
If you have a specific question or want a better explanation, just let me know.

1. Do all this without using the Rom Manager?!?!?!? - If I want to install it just download & Install, no any pre-requisit ? No, you have a recovery that allows you to make backups and flash roms already. Because of this, you can use the step by step guide I gave in post 2 and just be merry.
2. when you say Wipe - you mean to "wipe data \ factory reset" or "wipe cache partition" ?
Yes, and dalvik in advanced like another pointed out.
3. Flash, instal from sd = "install zip from sdcard" ?
Yes
4. Wait = how much time
After you flash the rom, let it just sit for about 10 minutes, then reboot, don't mess with the phone.
5. Restore = Restore what?Your apps if you backed them up... restore your launcher, contacts if you dont use google.. whatever you want to restore, just not system apps (green system apps like wifi and bookmarks should be okay though, exception to the rule for 2.2 > 2.2)
Can you direct me to step by step guide for this or input some details?
Thanks alot

when you say: "your ROM replaced this recovery with the stock one." do you mean that after install the new rom I need to make ROOT again? (sorry for my noob)
I make all install (without SIM on the phone).
after the reboot I saw the Android and after few scondes he say to inset sim....
Do I was have to install the new rom with the SIM in it?
PLEASE HELP? (for now I don't know what to do so I'll wait the 15 min)...
ANY SUPPORT? - is it OK?
thanks.
1. Install the ROM with a SIM card in...or if you didn't, insert it like it asks you to.
2. ROM Manager IS clockwork recovery. It is that menu you went into to flash the rom (can be green or red depending on your kernel installed). You don't need ROM Manager because whoever had the phone before you already installed ROM Manager at some point and hence, you have the Clockwork Recovery now as you saw.
3. After you install the new ROM, the boot up will take a long time. It is setting up all the system and configuring the operating system. After it finally boots, leave your phone for 10 minutes and just don't touch it. This gives it time to do a lot of configuration stuff it needs to do when it first starts up. After the 10 minutes are up, restart it. It will now start a lot quicker (like normal) and when its up, you can use it anyway you want. Hence, some first things to do would be to restore your contacts, programs (if you backed them up, settings, etc)
3. I really recommend you read a little bit more before you do flashing like this next time because if people here are not nice and don't lead you by the nose (or if you follow a step wrong), you can **** your phone. The procedure is easy. It is fairly foolproof but it is still advised that you have basic knowledge of what you are doing.
There are a lot of sticky threads on the forums that explain what things are. I recommend you have a look.
Thanks It look like everything is OK now (I read about 15 post before done this...)
Now my Phone Setting look like this:
FW : 2.2
Build : FROYO.UVKB5
KERNEL : 2.6.32.9
TRIGGER VERSION : 3.2- FINAL
BTW:
I'm still see "ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (ALL IN RED)"
1. Does my CWR was needed to be updated too - because its not ?
2. Should I update my kernel too ? - Is there any guide fort this?
Thanks.
SomeOne
I just want to be sure that everything is OK, and find out why my CWR didn't upgrade as well...
Thanks.
OMG!!!!!! Just follow the instructions! It's not rocket science; geez. I know of most noobs who wouldn't even ask this many questions even AFTER the guide/tutorial/step-by-step instructions are in front of them. I give you my word that you WILL NOT brick your Vibrant just by trial and error.

I don't understand why you are so set on the CWR upgrading.... and just an FYI, the red recovery (.3) is a higher version than via Rom Manager (.2).
Be happy. Move on to something else now that YOUR PHONE IS FINE
(meant in the nicest way possible, hard to understand text via Internet).
hi, i wanna ask...if i wanna flash to another devoid.Franco ROM (previously using void.echo) do i still need to dl the Terminal Emulator & Custom Recovery Tool Image and its Flash Image then run the Terminal Emulator & key in the codes then only start flashing another ROM?
i've did tat at the first time i flashed to a void.echo ROM now i wanted to flash to devoid.franco, do i still need to repeat all that step again? or i just enter the "power button, volume down button and home button" mode then wipe then flash will be good?..need advice thanks..
Just wipe and flash..
thanks for quick reply!
another question...how do i know that i already have the ext partition?...after i wipe everything included wipe ext..do i still need to create again?
Wiping doesn't remove partition..
On Mike mod
can we install franco kernel on mike mod 6.5.2
If your from void#echo previously, do these:
1. Backup all your user apps+contacts via Titanium Backup and all SMS via SMS backup
(they're all available free in the market)
2. Turn off phone. Reboot to recovery (hold power button+home+vol down)
3. Wipe user data, .android secure, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, and wipe ext.
4. Since your on void#echo already, you don't need to partition your sdcard.
5. Download devoid.franco, use usb-toggle on the recovery menu and copy it from pc to your phone while on the recovery and flash it.
6. Reboot (first boot might take a while)
7. Configure settings, Install titanium backup and sms restore app, Then restore all apps+settings+SMS. Enjoy~
8. Well if you know already what your doing and want some further improvements (completely optional, just do a nandroid backup incase) :
8.1 Reboot to recovery
8.2 Flash the latest kernel version from franco's thread
8.3 Reboot
8.4 Flash the ZRAM module
8.5 Reboot and Enjoy your phone
Thanks Kira.Lawliet!
hmm...i actually partition my sdcard again...yea..i flash before saw your reply ._.
will it harm? i partition my sdcard again....n flash to devoid.franco
You have to partition only if you want apps2sd. Else let it be. You can easily remove the ext partition by partitioning with 0mb ext partition in recovery.

definitely you can. just flash your device with mik_os mod first. then flash the franco kernel (v15 now) and lastly flash the ZRAM initializer.
just make sure you wipe the cache and dalvik cache first before you're flashing.
flashing
Ok guys just remember that rom flashing requires you to follow rom partition conditions while kernel flashing may not need to recreate partitions. In my case, I'm using Nessy Hypnos2 and been running with much fluidity after flashing FrancoKernel 14.2. But I did wipe all just to make sure there wont be any conflicts. HYPNOS2 + FRANCOKERNEL 14.2 is like coffee and cream, a perfect match like newlyweds.
Hi! I want to install a Custom ROM on my X8
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101691
But, when I download the file, it's an update...
Since I have Android, the Costum ROMs I always intall them from "Backup and Restore"
Sorry for by a NOOB, but, really I want to install that ROM, but I dont know how...
Somebody help me? I dont know if I explaind good....
THX
Have you rooted your device? If not, search the web for how to root your X8.
Yeah man, my X8 it's rooted... but I don't know what direct relation is beteween root and intalling the ROM with xRecovery...
My question again, in other way
When I download the CROM, the only file that I have is a "Update.zip", so, this is an update from the main crom? or I install it with "Install custom rom" on my Eclair? (the ROM it's GingerBread)
THX
(CROM = CUSTOM ROM)
The update.zip file is the ROM. Make sure you back up anything you want to restore to the new ROM (apps, SMS/MMS, etc.) before booting into xRecovery. Also, once in xRecovery, back up your current ROM before flashing the new one.
Okay, so, I have to install this "Update.zip" on my Eclair (2.1) using the option of xRecovery called "Install update.zip from SD Card"?
After, make the full-wipe and reboot?

NO !!! First you need to download and install a Busybox. Its an app which could be download from Anrdoid Market. When AM install it, open the app and click INSTALL BUSYBOX (it ask for root perms- you need to click allow). Then Boot your xRecovery and click Apply Update from sdcard. When its ready do full wipe and then boot your phone with new rom
Sorry, I am new to all of this. I recently just rooted my t959 and it is running on 2.2. I've been looking for tuts on how to update to Slim Bean 4.1.2, but haven't found any. I also don't understand the OP instructions.
Upgrading Slim Bean
Unless we specify otherwise in changelog
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip. If you were with SlimBean 2.7 or newer you are done, all your addons will be backed up.
If you are on an earlier SlimBean version then 2.7 please flash also all the addons you need. Reboot.
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files.

Would anyone be kind enough to post a step by step or a link on how to update it?
Much thanks.

Since SlimBean is based off CyanogenMod 9/10 and needs alot of the kernel/firmware flashes, you must flash CM 10 or 9 before flashign Slim Bean.
The easiest way to do this is through ClockworkMod Recovery and the easiest way to get ClockworkMod installed is through ROM Manager.
1. Download ROM Manager through Play Store
2. Open up ROM Manager and select the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
3. Download CyanogenMod 10 and the latest Slim Bean which should be version 2.8
4. Reboot into recovery through the option in ROM Manager
5. Clear data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
6. Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card > Pick CyanogenMod 10 FIRST
7. Let it flash all the way through and then reboot your phone when you are back at the recovery menu
8. Boot into CyanogenMod 10 ROM and play around to make sure everything is working and good
9. Go into Play Store and install ROM Manager again
10. This time, just boot into recovery. No need to reflash ClockworkMod since you already have it.
11. Clear data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
12. Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card > Pick SlimBeanT959 rom this time
13. Reboot into SlimBean to make sure everything works. If so, go back into recovery and flash the Slim Gapps and whatever else you may want to use.
Good luck and enjoy SlimBean.

I've recently downloaded the Stable version of CM and I don't know how to install it, after installing it will I lose my data? App game datas?
Thanks a lot
True. When you install a new rom you should wipe data. Otherwise it crashes on startup. You can back up the data that

So how do I install it?
I've looked into the other installation guides but those are for CM10.2 (Andorid 4.3) so I think its different installation method from 10.1, but I cant find a tutorial
C'mon...Read the first page of the CM10 thread & follow the installation instructions. Doesn't take a MENSA member to get it done
If you have used titanium backup root hayz to backup game data. Want to install a new ROM to install it into RECOVERY. If the rom you download it tails. ZIP Remember to wipe data + cache + dakvil before.
My device GT-i9100G
note: im always start all my flash from stock ROM (meaning stock JB 4.1.2)
my usual method, all can be done in the phone, no need odin if youre already stock;
-download all related file, CM10.1.3, CM GApps, Blazing kernel v8 (if you dont want your binary counter to change)...put them in external SD
-boot into recovery, select apply update from external storage, select file blazing kernel v8, let it finish and reboot normally
-then reboot into recovery again and install your Cm10.1.3 and GApps by navigating to your external SD (sorry cant remember the path)
-after finish installing both above file, let it reboot...if bootloop, reboot back into recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik, and then reboot
now your CM10.1.3 is ready~
-hit thanks if my post helps you-
