My Photon is rooted, unlocked, CWM 5.0.2.8, Running CM 7 NIGHTLY 7/22. I wanted to switch to MIUI 2.7.27 Official Port for the Photon. Downloaded the Zip and GAPPS for the ROM, Nandroid Backup, Cleared Data/Factory Reset, Formated /Data, /System, /Cache, Cleared Delvik Cache and The Flashed The MIUI zip TWICE... went REALLY fast only showed MIUI Logo froze and then said rom completed. Flashed The Gapps and Rebooted... it stayed on the Motorola logo with Unlocked on the top for a whole day... i really want to switch to the MIUI Rom.... what am i doing wrong?
miui uses an installer that requires a rom to be installed on the phone. you wiped the system. don't wipe anything before installing. you can do that in the installer.
there are three files to flash. base, options then themes. it's a great rom. you'll enjoy it.

So I download it from miui.us now what's the install process... its only one zip...
Bump... Anyone?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
The zip on miui.us is only the ROM. You should be able to flash it but you have the wrong version of cwm. You need to have either jokers recovery v3, twrp, or cwm 5.0.2.7. 5.0.2.8 is from ROMmanager and doesn't work for any ics roms

Why don't you flash a rom that you can flash from CWM and then flash MIUI?
You could reinstall CM7 or AOKP.
Once installed run the MIUI installer (without wiping anything before starting the installer), and then install Gapps. You should then be good to go.
Also, I think you should spend some more time reading about what you're doing. It seems that you may be on the edge of not knowing what you're doing. I'd suggest (at a minimum) the first 3 posts in the MIUI thread should be understood in detail before doing this again.
In the stated version of cwm or do I need the old one

I'm not sure. I run AOKP. I think if you've got jokers revision 3 of CWM that you're fine.
I'm on 5.0.2.7-photon3. I think you're one release newer, but make sure it's joker's version and you should be alright.
Check out qbking77 on YouTube. He has install vids for most of our roms.

I wouldn't use that. Watch QBKing77's video. He'll walk you through it. I'd put CM7 back on and go from there.
His directions are awesome. That was a good idea!

So if im coming from GingerBlur V4.5, how exactly would i do this? Would i open this up and click "Flash CWM recovery" and go from there? Im just curious if this will wipe my phone and reinstall Gingerblur (if i choose), or just another ROM i have stored, or do you have to get the ROMs from the app?
And are all ROMs compatible? Or do they have to be compatible w/ this version of CWM? Sorry for the newb questions...

I think the CWM it installs is for unlocked phones only. So you'd have to unlock your phone first, I believe, in order to flash ROM Manager's CWM.
As for installing all ROMs, it's CWM. So it should be able to install anything. After all, the ROMs are really just pre-boot install scripts, for the most part. The free version of ROM manager has the option to install zips from the internal SD only (as per comments in this thread). It also lists a subset of ROMs, but it looks like it throws an error right now.
cant fastboot flash recovery partition after Rom mngr recovery install
tried to flash back to tenfars recovery after flashing cwm thru rom manager..failed. should i reflash pudding and then try..? or...?
If you install recovery through ROM Manager, the full wipe option does not actually wipe anything. You can still do a wipe by utilizing the -w command via moto-fastboot then install via recovery.

Title says it all but a picture says so much more
this is a port of a port that from where i found it says Credit goes to Elitemovil for originally making it.
I just took the job of making it work on the Photon.
This was made to work with Yays 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7 Deodexed SBF
To use on a stock phone
Flash in CWM or Bootstrap
Use Root explorer and rename the systemui.odex file to systemui.odex.bak (it's in the System/app folder) then reboot.
ty iaccax and mr_wrong_0 for finding that out.
Make sure to wipe Dalvik Cache
Will be along first boot

I know its not designed for it, but would it work on a stock OTA 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_6? Just want to verify that it wont cause something crazy to happen, im stock rom rooted and locked, btw. Looks great!
i dont know if it will work or not maybe someone else does or you can make a backup first and try. No luck then just restore it.

I haven't flashed in a new build in a while, but you need to flash twice I think. Flash, reboot in recovery, and then flash again.

try reading the forums more sir!
remember this. wipe wipe wipe.
you must wipe the SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE before flashing any rom! wipe wipe wipe! then flash twice if necessary.
i highly recommend NOT using the rom manager CWM. everyone reports it doesn't work properly. use the 5.0.2.7-photon3 or Jokers CWM! the recovery might be the reason. most likely.
i use this version and it works perfectly. it's the standard non-touch version.

Hello,
I was on the Neutrino 2.8GT and everything works fine,
then i saw the 2.9, and of cores installed it, the first boot was successfully, but then i saw that i forget to install the Sync zip,
so i returned to the Recovery and installed the Sync zip and the Theme chooser zip, then i restarted my phone and now i stuck on the
boot loop.
i tried to enter to the recovery, but when i select the Android Recovery I am just getting the Black screen and nothing happens,
what should I do ?
maybe install the SBF file, if so is someone have a link that actually works ?
thank you.
Theme Chooser hasn't been added yet. Some ported it but its not a guarantee.

Hi,
My daughter has the HP touchpad, I've already loaded CM7 using moboot method so she keeps webos. I can see now that many stable versions of CM9 exist and want to upgrade to one of the many ROMs available. Can I do this straight from clockwork mod or do I need to flash additional zip files in order for it to work properly. I have searched lots of forums and some are suggesting to use acme installer 2 but I have titanium backup so cannot see the point in this method. Any help is much appreciated.

Look for a video from reverend kyle on youtube, its a pretty good explanation and tells you the files you need. The CM9 build will be outdated in the video so just use the latest gapps and CM9 build. Everything else will be the same. Basically you'll need to use you computer and ACMEInstaller2. If you ever want to install CM10 you'll want to use ACMEInstaller3.
Many thanks for the responses, I will see how I get on.

Might want to consider what was posted above, skip cm9, use acme uninstaller to start clean, then acmeinstaller3 and put one of the jellybean builds on.
JB takes up more system space, which acmeinstaller3 provides
