Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)

Do the following:
1. Obtain root, see item 1 in my signature and flash the latest CF-Root
2. Make a CWM backup after the phone rebooted
3. Download ARHD 7.0.0 and place it on the external sd card, copy importants folders/files from the internal sdcard to the external sd card.
4. In CWM: do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, in mounts and storage format system, cache and data.
5. Flash ARHD and choose full wipe and backup efs in Aroma, install the rom and tweaks you want and install.
6. Reboot and you`re done

Hello all, I am a noob. I tried to install my first rom, OpenOptimus 1.48, from this tread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653
I followed the instructions, wich said to get the file on the sd card then partition the card, then I get my phone able to boot in colckworkmod recovery but nothing else, file not found for install the rom because the partition is formated.. We are c urrently 2 noobs that this happened at the end of the posts on that tread.
So this is a kind of catch-22, now the compuiter wont recognize the usb, wich is the best method to get it working again now ? I am currently trying to get adb, if someone knows the treads to look for I'll be happy.
Thanks from Canada
Eh, the instructions do not say any such thing like to put something on SD card and then format/partition it. Anyway,
Either download the SDK, connect the phone via USB cable and do
Code:
adb push openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip /sdcard/openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip
and flash it from recovery like the instructions say,
or simply remove the SD card from phone and use a card reader to copy it there in PC.
Just mount usb storage from recovery and connect it to pc. The card will be recognized and then copy the zip file.

at the first page, instructions looks like that :
"
4.Go to Advanced>Partition SD Card
512 EXT(Do not create it if you do not want a2sd)
0 Swap
Remainder FAT32
5.Go into the main recovery menu and select "wipe data/factory reset"
6.Go to Mounts and storage>format /system
7.Go into the main recovery menu and select "install zip from sdcard"
8.Select "choose zip from sdcard"
"
So then I got the file on , then formated, so no more recovery . I have clockworkmod 3.1.0.0 installed.
I am trying to get ADB working, will try that. But looking at the instructions, is it me that is not understanding them well enough or are they written strangely ?
Thanks ;-)

Yes, the instructions do say that, but instead of blindly following them you should have realized that after partitioning the sd card all data would be deleted.
Anyway, the way to do this is after partitioning, select mount usb storage in recovery and connect it to ur pc(while still in recovery). The card will be recognized and you can copy the zip file. Then you can flash the zip.

I assumed he already tried that and it did not work (b/c of the "now the compuiter wont recognize the usb" part of the OP). Anyway, if not, then that is obviously the most easy way to get the file there.
Man I think your stock rom should still be working. Reboot and it should boot into your previous rom. And USB should work. Even in recovery u can mount sdcard.

I got a sd-adapter...
Well, no usb-mount while in recovery, adb is complicated to install and so I went to the store and got a micro-sd adapter and a new card with more capacity. Then no more complication to install the rom to the card & phone..
Thanks folks
Good afternoon,
I am having a big problem with my white Samsung Galaxy I9100 S2. I haven't sd card, but my internal memory is 11.5 GB. So I would like to install CWM. When I root via CF-root I have CWM 4. Everything is fine and I can to install zip via recovery boot.
But when I flash other kernel with CWM 5 (with blue text) I am getting an error when I try to install zip via recovery boot. Error says that E:can't mount /sdcard/.
So where is the problem? I have tried everything: about 10 different kernels, different roms, format internal memory, use ROM manager and so on. When the CWM is 5 it doesn't work, I get an error. But when the CWM is 4 everything is fine.
I am waiting your answers.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
MySelf
Still waiting your answers..
So basicly if you use CF-root everything is fine. Then what is the problem? Where did you get CWM 5 from?
The problem is that the CWM5 doesn't work. Read my first post.
CWM5 I got with a kernel from xda forum.
Again: the problem is that if I have CWM5 I'm getting error which is saying that E:can't mount /sdcard/ and I can't install zip in recovery mode.
Regards,
MySelf
Yes I can understand that. But why do you need CMW5?
If it comes with an other rom, I then can understand that you have no choice. But if CWM4 works, then there is no point in using CWM5.
Choose internal sdcard, not sdcard.

It comes with other rom and kernels. I would like to use other rom (not SGS2 stock) with other kernels and I can't, because I am getting error.

How to choose it? It is set by default I think, because I can't find anywhere where I could choose CWM usage internal sdcard, not sdcard.

In newer versions of CWM recovery, (such as 5.0.2.7 in Siyah kernel) after you select an option like "install zip from sdcard", there should be multiple options:
choose zip from sdcard
apply /sdcard/update.zip
toggle script asserts
choose zip from internal sdcard
On a stock ROM "from sdcard" refers to /sdcard/external_sd (i.e. a physical microSD) and "from internal sdcard" refers to /sdcard (i.e. internal storage).
Before installing zip try this:
go to mounts and storage
mount data (thats mean change it from mount /data to unmount /data)
and so on for system.
then install your zip file.

Evening all ive been using my test phone to try the many various roms etc but its built up a fair bit of junk in it ( see the attached screenshot for a list of all the folders )
What im wanting to know is there a way to completely flatten the SD partion that will get rid of everything there so when the new rom goes on it will be a totally fresh install. I followed these instructions ..
1st You have to know how to ROOT your phone
2nd You have to know how to open your phone in “Recovery Mode”
3rd You have to have d/l and copy the ROM’s .zip file in your SD card
If you don't know how to do those GO : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055 AND READ....
4th From “Recovery Mode”
A) Choose to “Wipe Data-Factory reset”
B) Then “Wipe cache Partition”
C) Then to “Advanced” “Wipe Dalvic cache”
D) Then if you like from “Mounts - Storage” “Format /cache - /Data - /System”
E) After this back to main and “Install zip from sdcard”
but there were still remmanants of crap left behind. Could i just select everything and hit delete then power down and install as above or is there another way to do it?
thanks in advance
On recovery mode you can go to mounts and storage >> format =) there format sd card or mmc (I got CM9 installed probably other driver names on your device)

Would that then format everything including the new rom zip file. If so How would I then get the zip file across so I could install it?
Format = wipe
Full wipe is format cache format system format data phone will now not boot no OS .
Flash stock rom via Odin
Flash CWM and Root via Odin .
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If you also format SD card all data is wiped .
Copy custom rom zip to sd card .
A step further would be to use one of the kernel cleaning tools on XDA .

Why all the instructions to flash ROMs writes that the new rom should be put on integrated Memory card, not the external SD card?
I tried to make a couple of flash ROMs from external SD card and everything went ok

Provided
One your CWM can access the external sd card not all versions can .
Two not all users have an external sd card .
Bit pointless in the above two cases for instructions to be wrong when putting the file on the internal sd card is never wrong .

Yeah, I thought it was something else in the game, thanks ...
Hi- I updated my rooted 2.3.4 Droid X2 about a week ago to CM7RC1 and have been enjoying it since. One thing that surprised me is that the upgrade appeared to have kept certain configurations that I had, such as the custom wallpaper I was using. I had followed the instructions on this site to the letter, which included wiping data and cache and dalvik cache. I would have thought performing those steps would have cleaned any custom configs/settings off the phone?
The reason I ask is that I'm still encountering some unique bugs I had before the upgrade. I'd really like to perform a true wipe and clean install of CM7RC1. I would presume that would include some type of format of my sd card, since there are so many android file structures on there. But I don't see how I could do that since I need the CM7RC1 and Google App zip installs (as well as the patched BSR apk) on the SD card. I'm not even sure I could boot to the BSR I now have on there if I formatted my SD card.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. Is there a way to do a real system reset with my existing CM7RC1 install? Will the power button + volume down technique really work, or will it keep my custom settings?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks again for any help!

This removes mods too, right?
Yes, if done properly it removes all MODs. It also Formats System and flashes a fresh CM7 build.
I honestly don't think a format of :internal end external sdcards are necessary. Just format the .android_secure folder if you want. What's important is wiping system data and app data. I understand that is what you did but I recommend doing a wipe of data, cache, and DALVIC (which is part of why you were experiencing bugs and the wallpaper was there) before sbfing. I do it again once I install a fresh rom as well just to be safe.

Its certainly not necessary but I think he said something in the first post about wanting to format it.

Hi
I am posting here as I am a restricted noob
it is a question about INT2EXT+ - the tool that allows your sd card to store apps etc
referring to the thread below and the instruction taken from that thread
provided that i have set up the correct partitions on my sd card - i then install the zip using the instructions below
Is that all i need to do then ?
does the newly created Ext4 partition automatically link to intermal phone /data ? do i need to do anything else at this point like run scripts or configure anything ?
using the freespace app from google play i can see no new partitions or increased spoace
