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

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.

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”.

Does it make any difference to select "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" in Clockworkmod Recovery before selecting "Install zip from sd card" or afterwards? I'd like to install CM 10 along with the GApps. In several tutorials I have found both answers.
Yes it do... First wipe then install...
Happy new year
Paulius
Thanks a lot!
Then I can follow the Cyanogenmod-Wiki.
Happy new year, too.
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
Over the years many people have written guides for installing custom ROM's, and most of then have different steps. I understand certain devices, and custom ROM's need specific install steps. I'm looking for a general consensus on what is currently the best steps and/or order when installing a new custom ROM. Here a few sets of steps that Ive found online. Please let me know which one you think is the best set of instructions for most people.

EXTRA NOTES/TIPS found online:
Depending on your situation (see below), you may also need to wipe your data and/or cache. So when should you wipe your data and cache? Here are a few general guidelines:
-If you're flashing a ROM different than the one you're currently running, you should wipe data and cache. Essentially, this performs a factory reset on your phone, and you will lose all your data.
-If you're flashing a new version of a ROM you're already running, we recommend wiping your data and cache—but you should be able to get away with just wiping the cache, meaning you get to keep all your apps and settings.
