i currently have Megatron v1 rom in my p500
i installed the custom recovery thing and installed the rom and after that i flashed mik_os kernal..
phone is working great from some time now but now i m thinking of updating to franco's as megatron is pretty outdated now + i m getting a new memory card..
so i dont know from where to start ?
pls guide me ?
Hey,
1 : Dload Rom an Kernel .
2 : create backup !!
2.5 : reboot in recovery !!
3 : clear cache , all
4 : create partition as per req
5 : toggle usb
6 : copy rom an kernel , then flash from sd !!
If I missed anything , sorry :!
So i straightaway put in the new memory card and restart into custom recovery and follow the steps u mentioned ??
Some questions/doubts i have.
As i have partioned this current memory card... what files does it hold ?? (Hope i wont face any prob after removing this card)
And should i flash the rom first or the kernal ??
And in francos topic he has menrioned that data2sd thing is not stable yet ??
So what kind of problems are we talking about and is franco's kernal and rom stable altogether ??
I dont like my fone to be stuck after eveylry 5 mins or so .... pls reply...
Nd thanks in advance..

Just put in the new card, reboot into recovery, create the ext partition (the card will be formatted afterwards), wipe everything Franco says in his first post, then toggle USB mode, connect to PC, paste the rom and kernel, exit USB mode, flash the rom, reboot. Then power off, enter custom recovery, flash the kernel, wipe caches, reboot.
Install SetCPU, set 729max - 480min with smartass and set it on boot.
Rest assured, Franco's devoid is a very stable build... you will really be amazed by your phone afterwards. If you want, afterwards you can install all sapps or just the essestial gapps (you can find links in the ROM thread - in the last 2-3 pages).
Thanks for the reply..
One ques remains abt data2sd thing (which is step 1 in his topic)
What steps shud i follow to install that ? Or is it already a part of the rom ?? If not where cn i dl it ? Is it gud ??
Nd i heard there is an altermative (apps2sd) ??
Which one do u recommend ?
Apps2sd is used in megatron rom rite ??
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Oh, sorry... I forgot about that!
Neither app2sd nor data2sd is included in the rom, but you can easily flash them in recovery. You will need to enable them afterwards (there's a market app and also a command for the terminal emulator).
Use Darktremor's app2sd, not ungaze's data2sd (since from what I've read, it's pretty buggy with Franco's ROM&kernel).
I don't know what is used in Megatron, but you can find out all you want about app2sd here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087.
Thanks a lot dude !

sorry i m new
done
hey one last thing
the link u gave to the app2sd topic
it says ***OUTDated*** right in the topic name
so just wanna ask should i install the latest version found here
or is that outdated version only compatible to our phones ??
I apologize, I was in a hurry and provided you with an old link...
The latest versions of Darktremor's app2sd are supported by Franco's rom, so install whichever you like from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926015.
Oh, and from what I've read, Franco also supports ext4 partitions (although I recommend having an SDHC 6 or above card).
ok
so here goes ?
1) Download rom kernal and app2sd image
2) boot in custom recovery (i have RA_thunderg-1.1.0-GNM)
3) Wipe everything (everything rite ?? all the options ?)
4) partition my new sd card (swap: 0, ext: 512, ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.)
5) Flash the app2sd image file (gonna flash the last stable build.. not latest beta)
6) after its completed straightaway flash franco.devoid rom file
7) after its completed i reboot < chk out the new rom for a moment
8) reboot into recovery again and then flash the kernal
9) Wipe cache (not sure how to do this ??)
10) install set cpu through the link u gave ?
and please afterwards how to make sure the app2sd is working as u said earlier i need to fill in a command or install an app ??
oh before wipe i will create a backup too
what kind of backup do u recommend ?? as there are 5-6 options i guess ??
and should i wipe before or after partioning my sd card ?

I think there is only one option for backup, that's nandroid backup.
Which is there in CWM.

It aso shows options like nand backup, nand+android secure, nand + ext
and then at last they say google something..
So pls suggest ?
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
You have amon RA, so a simple nand backup will be fine. And after that you can wipe, then partition. I installed DT apps2sd (the beta 4) after flashing the ROM and kernel and it works great. So I guess it's fine.
Lets say I don't want to flash any app2sd or d2sd on my phone and I want only the native a2sd which comes with the ROM. Do I need to create any partitions? Or can I simply skip that step?

Okay i read his entire thread almost at least 100 pages, I searched countless times for a dummies installation guide
My old andriod dell venue broke so, Okay i got mad and threw it lol, anyways i read reviews about the Samsung Galaxy S2 so got it, I decided i want ICS and i choose his as it looks more favorable among the others.
My Model number is GT-I9100
Andriod version 2.3.4
Can some one please take the time to tell me what is the correct steps to take to make my phone capable of installing this Rom
I seen his instructions
Install the Main ROM 1.4 (important: dont install siyah kernel yet )
install aokp gapps
Reboot
and the Faq Link
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install the Main ROM
Install the Gapps for AOKP
In recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
This will be my first time doing this so can someone please dummy this down for me cause the install rom is greek to me, Do i need to put the rom somewhere, is there pre steps i must do before my phone will accept this
Thank you in advance to any one that helps
Hey,
Im assuming that you still have a factory standard phone so you will first need to root it. If you search google there is loads of guides on how to do this.
then you need to download and install CWM recovery (clockworkmod) again another google search
then you can proceed to the rom installation instructions
download the ROM (zip file ... dont unzip) and stick it somewhere on your SD card
turn your phone off then boot in to recovery by holding volume up, menu key and power button then do factory reset etc and then install zip from sd card (the zip being the ROM)
Please press the thanks button on this reply if you found it helpful

First step you need to do is root the phone. I used the guide here after following what the guy was doing a few times in the video.
Then BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER as soon as you have root. An app called HC-KTool on the android market can do this. Be sure to verify your backup too and copy the efs.img to your PC for safe keeping.
Get titanium backup and batch backup all user apps and system data. Copy the folder on your internal SD onto your PC also.
Boot into CWM and make a backup here too.
Now you are ready to flash a ROM - Resurrection Remix ICS 1.4 here contains links and FAQ.
As it's your first ROM install you should follow the full installation guide in the FAQ. I stayed with the stock kernel as had problem with siyah and theroux.
Hello!
My GT-i9100T is my first android phone, I've been using for two months and I love it. This afternoon I decided to root my phone (I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM on this phone before) using this method, and I downloaded all the files and followed all instructions. When I selected 'apply update from external storage' it took a little while and gave me this error: 'E:unable to mount /sdcard (No such file or Directory)'.
I searched online but I couldn't find anything helpful but I did factory reset my phone and yet it still didn't work. Can anyone help me?

i think u should have put the files in ur internal sdcard not external, please check by doing so and see
ps - alternatively u can put the file's in ur cache folder and select 2 install the same from cache in recovery and see
Thanks for the swift reply!
I don't have an external SD card and I've never used one.
EDIT: I can't do that because the cache folder is inaccessible.

then try the alternative ie cache folder option and see, since the cwm .zip does require an extsd since thats the one giving u the error while updating if i am correct

You need a physical external sdcard in order for this to work.
If you're in need of root just flash a CF-Root kernel..

Use install, don't use the update option. There's no need to do a wipe if your just updating.

It's not true, now you can update with ota also with cwm 5.0.2.6. The problem is link2sd: if you want ota updates you must use native a2sd (moving app to sd in settings) and also you can't modify any system file, like gps.conf and any others

BUMP!!!
me too! I have been able to update prior to the last update. But now, I can't. I've read in some post that you should delete the .Zip that contains 0 bytes. Yet again its not the solution. The error is: "E:Error in /sdcard/LEWA/ota/download/LeWa_OTA_Cooper_12.05.25-12.06.01_71a5ab.zip(Status 7)"
P.S. I dont want to flash the whole rom. I just want the update. Please help.
Uninstall Link2sd and do not alter any settings. Download OTA from first page flash it with CWM. No need to wipe. It works for me. Hope this help you.
Hey guys,
Just got a 16gb Nook Tablet.
We want to root this tablet and install a custom rom so we get can get access Google Play, Youtube, etc.
Can you help out? If there's already a thread, please help link it?
We want to install the ROM on the tablet itself, not running it from a micro SD card.
Thanks
Link in my sig. You'll need a small sd for the initial root/recovery install, but that's it.

Thanks, studying that link now.
Can you elaborate on the followings?
Download the CWM_SD_flash_and_exe from here and unzip them into a folder.
Zip them to a folder on the desktop/laptop or the SD card
Your instructions show how to root. The next step would be installing a custom ROM.
What ROM do you suggest? I like something clean, stable, and fast. And how do I go about installing the ROM?

While I agree with the above, make sure you're on the right recovery for the ROM you intend to install. The instructions don't cover all of the bases in terms of the most recent recoveries released, but you can find them usually in the ROM thread itself.
Yes, I can spend weeks reading the thousands of posts on here.
But if you know of a thread, that have easy steps by steps to root and install a custom rom, you can point newbies like me to such threads.
Now, that's being helpful.

There isn't such a thread to my knowledge, but you've seen my post on rooting, the next step is selecting a rom. That's really up to you. From there, the installation instructions of that rom are usually in the first 2 posts of the thread. Commands given are usually issued in the recovery.
Make sure you're on the right recovery. Jellybean will not install on a CWM recovery under 6.x. Most rom threads will include links.

Actually I think that is what anyone should do before installing a custom ROM. Spend lots of time reading, that, is. Not thousands of threds, but maybe 100 (?) that seem to deal with what I want to do. There are things you can do with the device to have it running well before you take the step of installing a new ROM internally so you can take your time! Stickies are always a good place to start.

liquidzoo, your root instructions look to be straightforward.
can you answer a few more questions?
it looks like your method install the CMW recovery? and you said that JB ROM will not install on CWM recovery?
also, which custom ROM would you recommend? i am just looking for a ROM that's fast, clean, and stable. doesn't need to come with lots of fancy features or tweaks.
thanks much
A jb rom will definitely install on CWM recovery, but you need version 6.x. A flashable 6.x cwm recovery can be found, among other places, in the AOKP thread in my sig.
Which rom I prefer may be different than a rom you like. I suggest trying them out for yourself and picking your favorite.

I was on TEAM-B SD card bootable ROM . I am coming after a long time.I am following your instructions liquidzoo.
in your instruction , installing that "update.zip" Roots the device right ?
After that you asked to download the recovery image from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958 ,but its really confusing in that thread.
Instead can i use this (http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip ) recovery file to flash , after running the "update.zip" to install the latest CWM ?
Also how to perform nandroid backup?
Edit :
Flashed 6.0.1.5 CWM . Nook Tablet is rooted now.
1.) How to get into CWM now ? While booting , i tried to boot with "Power+Vol Up" , is this the way or how ? also After doing all these , i can format the SD card and use it to load the ROM and for normal purpose right ? Or we need the SD card to boot into CWM everytime ?
OK found how to go into CMW.
But please let me know if this is the correct method
Power+N > while booting , release power button > Goes into CYANOBOOT > Select Internal eMMC Recovery to go into CMW right ? ,
From here , we can install the ROM`s ? Also can i now format the SD card which i created for Root and installing CWM ?
Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, that is the correct recovery.
The way to boot into recovery with cyanoboot is to power on, hold the n at the cyanoboot screen and select boot emmc recovery.
From that recovery, yes you can install any rom. If you install a multi-touch rom (will be marked as such, and there is usually a 2 and 5/10 touch download) you will have to upgrade the firmware. I did it this way (if you're interested):
Download the rom you want to internal or external sd.
Download the proper rom from imafanof.wordpress.com as well. Follow the installation instructions on that website to upgrade the firmware Don't panic when the touch screen doesn't work, that means the upgrade worked. Just reboot to recovery and flash your new rom (don't forget gapps, which should be linked in the rom post as well)
If you don't want to upgrade the firmware, that's okay too. Just flash a 2 touch rom.
Yes, you can format the sd card now if you need, or keep it around and buy a new one so you have one you know will boot, just in case.
Hope that helps.

I am trying to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217
I download the rom , gapps , everything and even booted in CMW , luckily before wiping things , i just checked whether the ROMS on SD card are available via CMW , unfortunetly , it says , SD Card cant be mounted. I tried to mount via advanced option , still it says the same. So i rebooted normally to see if the rooted ROM sees the SD Card , it detects when i insert the card , but doesnt show anything , either under the "settings" > SD CARD option , nor in ES file explorer. Tried another SD card too , didnt work.
Can you help me?
edit :
When i checked the application , and clicking "On SD CARD" , it shows ES explorer and ADW launcher. but the sd card inside is cleanly formatted one.
did i mess with rooting process ?
Once in CWM, remove then reinsert SD card. Then see if the files are showing up. That has happened to several people over time.
