Hey, I want to try MIUI in safestrap by:
Installing MIUI in CWM recovery.
Making an exact copy of the contents of / (Except sdcard & sdcard-ext) to my computer.
Flash Stock fw from RSD lite.
Root & install Safestrap.
Create new rom slot in safestrap, Install anything.
Replace all the contents in /, with the contents that I previusly copied from MIUI...
Would this work? Does anyone think this could work.
Why does SS doesn't support MIUI?
ive installed miui with safesrap following these instructions. It worked perfectly.
Navigate to and enter the “safe boot menu”.
Select “Enable Safe System”. This will take a couple of minutes to run as it backs up some files (similar to what we did previously, but for different reasons). This backup that is being made is part of why this recovery is called Safestrap as you can actually disable safe system later to boot into your normal stock ROM without flashing or restoring anything manually.
Caution: This will erase all of your user applications and settings. Files (pictures, documents, downloaded files etc.) on your internal sd card as well as you external sd card will still remain.
In the main menu of the Safestrap recovery, navigate to and select “wipe data/factory reset” – then confirm and let that run (5 minutes or so).
Navigate to and select “wipe cache partition” – then confirm (this is done pretty quickly).
Next, navigate and enter the “advanced” menu
Select “Wipe Dalvik Cache” – then confirm (again, this is pretty quick)
Navigate to and enter the “mounts and storage” menu
Select “format /system” – then confirm. This formats the 2nd system partition that was created when you first installed the Safestrap recovery. Your original ROM’s system files are left untouched (again…this is why it’s called Safestrap).
Use the *****Go Back***** link at the bottom of the screen to get back to the main menu and select “Install zip from sdcard”
Now select “choose zip from sdcard” and navigate to the location on your external sd card where you placed your ROM zip file and select it using your power button. Then confirm the install when prompted
Again, use the *****Go Back***** link at the bottom of the screen to get back to the main menu and select “reboot system now”.

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.

I understood it as if he were asking if it were necessary and if so how it is possible.

Install instructions are correct. That are the steps you normally should do.
Baseband I dont know but I personally wouldn't care about 72 or 77. Both should work with cm9.

is it going to format memory card before partition...
if not how to roll back to pre partition state, incase none of that space is used and no backup....
is their an option like unmounting....
I am sorry for making this thread but this is specific to my needs only. I have gone through many threads but none resolve my purpose.
I will start my issue:
10days earlier I have rooted my MMX A116 CHD and installed following ROM Colossus S5 without any problem and I was happily using until played to increase the internal phone memory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mic...-rom-colossus-s5-theme-rom-v5-0-1006-t2999766
Yday I have played with my CHD phone and tried following process:
metroholic.com/repartition-the-internal-storage-myphone-rio/
Steps:
1. Once you installed the m|p Rio Repartition app, open it. You need to grant superuser for it to work.
2. Select and tap the button “2.5gb internal / 21mb phone (sagad)“. This will now start to repartition the internal storage.
3. The app will ask you to reboot to recovery – just press OK and proceed. If not, tap on the Boot to Recovery… button and then continue.
4. Your phone will reboot again to CWM Recovery console. Again, use your volume rocker to navigate to the option you want and the power button to select it.
5. Go down to “wipe data/factory reset” then press the power button to select it.
6. Then select “Yes – Wipe all user data“. Then wait for it to complete.
7. Then go down and select “wipe cache partition“, and select “Yes – Wipe Cache“… then wait again.
8. After that, navigate down and select “advanced“.
9. Select “wipe dalvik cache” and select “Yes – Wipe Dalvik Cache“.
10. Restore(But not possible and returned unsuccessul errors in restore.)
After this I have rebooted my phone and tried to go to again in CWM recovery but not available anymore. As all my apps are in SD card and every backups are also in that only.
After phone is ON, I have observed that the Phone storage is changed to 2.5GB now but at the cost of removal/hiding of External/Internal SD cards.
I can see few system built apps are there like Phonebook, Messaging etc. but Chrome, Gmail short cuts are seen but when I tap on them, it returns errors like App isn't installed. Gmail is just starting and asking for Google Play services and it is also on SD card.
I tried to install apps but not installing and returning error: Application cannot be installed in the default installation location.
Just one software - Titanium Backup utility is there but I don't know how will be useful it? It has also my all backup.
I can't see any files or folder or drives in file manager. Even I connect to pc and not able to see any drive but just able to names of drives. When I try to open it, it returns the error messages.
Pl advise how to fix my this situation. I am stuck up since last evening and not able to use my phone as SMART Phone now.
Its easy... Use spflash tool .. Flash stockrom but check bot mbr1 and mbr2.. That should solve it XD
My vk800x has the problem that the system language cannot be saved, a sim card changes it from english to japanese, every time I switch it on.
As there seems to be no way to fix this problem, I now have a the correct ROM to clean install Android.
I want to clean install, without saving anything. I found instructions, how to wipe, but no instructions for a noob how to install ist, I guess I put the whole zip-file (Unzip first, or not?) on an external micro sd and install it from there? But how?
PS
Is this wiping clean instruction correct?
Select “wipe data/factory reset
Select “yes”
Go to “mounts and storage”
Select “format /boot”
Select “yes”
Select “format /system”
Select “yes”
Back out of that menu to the main one again and select “advanced”
Select “Wipe Dalvik Cache”
Select “yes”
Thank You
