There's all these MIUI apps in the marketplace. I'd need someone to help me with the ROM Installation, though I'd like to learn how to do it on my own. I don't know when I need to update Clockwork, or why I need to, or what commands to execute in it (like clearing stuff.)
MIUI looks great, my cousin keeps talking it up. I have a ton of questions about it, most of which can be answered if I install it and mess around. Is there anywhere I can learn about it? I've looked around http://miuiandroid.com/ but haven't found anything specific.
If anyone can help me install it, we can talk on Google Talk. As for any questions, my main one is how do I edit it? Can I put only three buttons on the bottom bar, like Stock Android?
Anyway, I'm excited to put a new ROM on my phone. Can anyone help?
your best bet is to start in the forum of your device. See of miui is available for it
Does your phone even have a MIUI rom availabe?
In case of your cellphone being supported, it's just flashing over stock or CM7.
If it's available for your phone, it should be on Miui.us
You need to check first if your phone is supproted. Look in the ROM section on miuiandroid.
Then basically what you need to do, is root your phone and install clock work recovery (there will be guides in your phones forums.
Once you have done that you want to create a nandroid backup (you do that by selecting 'backup' in clock work recovery.
Once thats done you will want to wip data, cache, dalvik and battery stats.
Then from clock work click install from zip, point it to your sd card where you have downloaded the MIUI rom) and install it!
Pretty much that simple.

How do I know if my clockwork recovery is up to date? My phone already has been rooted, and my phone is supported by MIUI.
Check out Rom Manager, it will let you know if your CWM is up to date.

What is Rom Manager? Is it in CWM or is it an app for the phone? Or maybe a website
Here is very detailed information on how to install MIUI (or cm or whatever) on a HTC HD2. I don't know which phone you have, so you probably won't have to do steps 1 (HSPL) and 2 (Radio rom), but the other steps should be the same. Just make sure you use the right files for your phone.
The miui website provides install information for every phone too

It's an app for the phone. Helps you install the correct CWM and latest version for your phone as well as download miui, CM7, and many other roms.

I always did that manually through some magic that I never understood as my friend walked me through it. So this app makes it easy? Will it install it from in the app itself?
And once CWM is updated, I just head into it and open the file, right?

yes this app makes it easier. It will update your phone to the latest CWM and also you can download the rom the app.
Once, the CWM is updated. Reboot. And then reboot into recovery (CWM), nandroid (backup your current rom), and then go ahead and wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, also battery stats. and flash the new rom (install from zip option in CWM).

Don't wipe battery stats unless you have a full battery and plan on calibrating it properly. It will destroy your battery life.
I see people give this advice all the time, and it's not good advice. Wiping battery stats shouldn't be a part of your wiping routine unless you calibrate each time.

Thanks for the info. I only mentioned it since he was coming to a new rom. I usually wipe my battery stats when I'm switching roms.

Okay so please excuse my less than impressive samsungness lol however I have a bit of a quandry I have 2 htc sensations and recovery installation was a deadset breeze with fastboot, same with xoom and what have you.. this phone is a bit different and I think i have 2.
1. I installed rom manager and installed one to the recovery but it would never show up so I tried,
2. Installing a kernel with cwm
Now I have 2 and they're different versions
Can I get rid of one, ie mainly the kernel one and leave the actual recovery one alone? Am I mistaken?
I tried to use the recovery one to install a kernel but i didn't get a boot just black screened me.. Is there still 2 versions ie a samsung style kernel and a aosp one?
I feel like a fish out of water on this phone.. Im not a total noob with root achieved obviously and running miui 1.10.28 official build
Anyone can shed some light that would be awesome
Sent from my mind control device
EDIT: Miui should come with a kernel with cwm recovery, so you shouldn't need to get it independently.
Reflash stock rom kernel as cwm is built into the kernel
In samsung land the recovery is built into the kernel rather than being a serperate partition like in htc land.
Uninstalled rom manager, flash cf root kernel for your rom version.
It will install cmw manager (like rom manager but for cf root kernels) and give you root.

Cheers for a reply mate
Okay so I think now I only have one.. Volup home and power give me cwm5 and adb reboot recovery gives me cwm5 were as before they were different... Bizarre as that sounds
As for kernels what are good cm7/aosp ones that will work with miui? I'm keen for a bit of a flash around get to know this device a bit better and undervolt/better overclocking.. As the kernel with miui only has increments of 0.2ghz meaning its hard to find your max threshold before she reboots/bootloops lol
Does this device have fastboot, or strictly cwm/odin as main methods? Just for clarity
Edit: and does anyone have a cwm zip of extended controls for 1.10.28?

Alright, we will start with a story - I am a fairly experienced root user. I had a fascinate, droid x, and now I have a thunderbolt. I had all three rooted and never had problems until now.
I have root access as well as a custom ROM on my thunderbolt. (I am currently using liquid 3.2).
The problem is that when I try to flash any other rom (I tried two: CM7.2 by ThunderShed and Infected by Virus) they do not work at all. I flash data, davik, and all that stuff. Infected gets stuck on HTC logo and CM7 gets further but freezes on startup after initial setup shows up.
My friend recomended flashing all different radios and I did that, but still having an issue. (I have 1.48.... and 0.0178... on now).
A few things.....check the md5 when you download. Wiping........wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then go advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then go format/mount and format /system. Then install the .zip. If that doesn't do it, I have no idea, never had a problem flashing ROMs, only have problems once I start messing with them on my own.
I had to change to different recovery
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
First, the roms do flash - just not boot up after. Both go through the process fairly well. Like I said - the only that actually works is Liquid 3.2, both Infected and CM 7.2 flash just get stuck at a different stage when booting up.
I'm going to download yet another rom and see whether that does it.
The recovery that I have is 5.0.2.1. I was going to install touch recovery and see if that was more reliable. I'll post later and see whether it was just the two roms possibly being bad (both downloaded from RootzWiki and not XDA).
Run superwipe after you wipe everything, then flash your rom.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
Try flashing a stock kernel first.
I also had the droid, droidX, droidx2, incredible2, thunderbolt, and now the galaxy tab. Also fairly familiar with rooting and flashing, and I had the same problem and couldn't figure it out. My clockwork was out of date. Updated, and everything was right in the world again. Check your Recovery. I didn't think if the update during flash took that it was my recovery but I was wrong.
flashing problem...
did you make sure usb debugging is on, and allow mock locations and non market downloads, and try deleting the current infected rom and re-download it just to make sure it was a clean download...i love the infected roms, especially eternity with darkhorsetheme. if that doesn't do it idk man. best of luck and try to get a hold of a developer maybe
Thank you guys!
Alright, so first off - I made sure my recovery was up to date.
I did wipe format /system and that caused infected to load, but after about an hour of using it - it froze and then when I pulled the battery, it wouldn't go past HTC logo.
I did load CM 7.1 and that works well.
I'll keep digging at it and see if I can figure it out. Thank you everyone!
Did you ever find a solution? I am having the same problem. I have tried 3 roms. It starts the boot screen and then after a minute it reboots into recovery.
It's the recovery folks.

Using super wipe fixed this issue for me. Even after triple wiping dalvik didn't work, super wipe did. :good:
So I unlocked the bootloader using the Htc dev unlock method I have hboot1.5 then flashed clockwork mod recovery and flashed the newt one s rc3 rom and the boot image all I get is bootloops over and over lock screen comes up with battery icon and everything but the lock ring and then reboots I tried to restore a nandroid if my stock rom all it does is go to the white screen with the green Htc letters and then it goes black and nothing, I can get into recovery but not fast boot USB I even tried flashing other Roms and the rooted stock Rom but to no avail it doesn't work. I really don't know what to do to get it back to normal I would be very gratefully if any of you could help me with this
Did you originally flash through fastboot?
If you didn't, and now can't get fastboot to work, your best option is to flash whatever ROM you were originally coming from (sounds like stock) and flash that.
I know you said you tried it, but that really is your best bet. I'd try it again, wiping data a few times and doing a reset.

I tried to flash back my nandroid of my stock rooted rom 7 times wiped dalvick everything
I flashes by holding volume down and power till fast boot screen came up then selected recovery and flashed through revolutionary like I do on my og evo
Okay.
If you don't boot the recovery through fastboot, the kernel won't stick. So if you were just flashing through recovery without booting the recovery through fastboot, you probably still are running a stock GB kernel.
I would download a stock Rom and flash that. Do a factory data reset before flashing the Rom and wipe cache. That should work, assuming that you are still running a stock kernel. From the way you've explained things I would think you are.

Unlocking the phone on hboot 1.5 via HTC, leaves you with S-ON. You can still flash any ROM you want, but it is a little bit different than OGEvo. You can't just flash through recovery, especially if you're switching from GB to ICS. This may also be while your nandroid failed... Although I'm not sure because I've never had to run a nandroid and I've never created one outside of fastboot.
So, I would try...
Downloading a stock Rom.
Wipe data/Factory Reset.
Flash Rom (like you've been trying to)
That should work.
Then I'd check out how to properly flash a ROM in the stickies, there are a couple different methods, but you can't do it on your 3D like you did on your OG unless you get S-OFF.

ok folks got a problem here and i have searched and searched and tried and tried with no luck i have an at&t unlocked note i717 i have rooted it using the method stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223 i have installed a wide vairety of custom roms as wellas recoveries the phone constently reboots i have pulled the phone apart and cleaned the power button flashed different kernels etc no matter what i do it still reboots all the time. also the battery will have a full charge and once it autoreboots the battery shows it has being dead now the phone sticks in a boot loop i am by no means new to the android game i have even built my own rom many moons ago for the SGS II but this has me stumped any help and i would be greatful
P.S. the only way it does not give me these issues is to treat it as a brick and restore to stock gingerbread
How old is the actual battery? Is it bulging at all? Might want to try a fresh battery. The battery with a full charge but is dead after reboot is a sign of bad battery.

Sounds like you have done your reading, but I have to ask, how clean are you?
Personally, I wipe 3 times
Flash rom 2 times
Gapps 1 time
Wipe davlik and cache
Wait 10
Reboot again and do your thing

That is a given i have learned from past experience that wiping just once sometimes just is not good enough. strangely enough i returned the phone to stock unrooted. from there i install hybrid rom and did not have any issues the battery said it was a full charge the phone stayed on did not reboot untill today this afternoon i went and logged into facebook and the second it logged in bang there was the reboot. before that i made calls and went tot he play store etc etc with no hiccups this is really got me stumped
Wiping data and cache is not always good enough. You should also format your system partition. If not you will have system files from the previous ROM on your phone even though you do a full wipe.
Your issue may be with the way you are rooting your phone. Install your factory ROM using odin. Then use odin to flash CWM or TWRP recovery. Then flash a superuser version using recovery. The tutorial you spoke of mentioned kernels and you may be flashing a kernel for gingerbread on a JB ROM. This would definitely mess your phone up. Stay away from the kernels mentioned in this thread as the info is ANCIENT. After rooting (actually you don't even need to install superuser to flash a custom ROM) install your custom ROM. And only flash kernels recommended for that particular ROM.
Agoatamers words are always solid. I myself dont like to flash alternate kernals as they often seem to invite more maintainence. If it doesnt work with kernal built with, then I dont use.

I have been in this game for a while now and i have flashed more androids than i can count this phone is not the first note that I have flashed but it is the only one that i have seen this issue with as far as flashing kernels i did not use the kernels in that post untill i had returned to stock with GB then i used them the way you mentioned above is the way this phones was flashed several times I have tried many different roms without flashing kernels and then as last result tried a few defferent kernels as well to see if the kernel was an issue as i have had issues with kernels in the past on the SGS2 doing this with crappy kernels, although they were an easy fix flashing siyah pretty much fixed that issue. here is an update on the phone situation. i have been running hbrid rom for almost 24 hours with no reboot (fingers crossed, knock on wood ) the only thing i have done different I did switch batteries due to being out and my primary batt died and used my back up so i do believe it very well may have been the battery, the battery is not bulging as of yet but that does not mean anything as the battery could still be bad so we will see again fingers crossed i will kep this updated for at least 48 hours as long as there is no more problems i will mark this as solved via the battery replacement
