How to install baadnwz InsertCoin CM7/STOCK?

Hey,
So Im new to the whole rooting/custom ROM area after moving to android from iOS (Best decision ever.).
I've managed to root my HTC Desire using unrevoked, so its fully rooted. But I want to install the baadnwz InsertCoin CM7/STOCK ROM to my Desire. As my mate recommended it too me.
It's located here: (Im not allowed to post links... Just google:
Code:
baadnwz InsertCoin CM7/STOCK v45
I havent got a clue wheere to start tbh.. I would definetly prefer to keep all my apps/contacts/messages and not do a reinstall, if possible.
Thanks in advance!

1. Backup all apps&data with Titanium Backup/My Backup Root
2. Go to recovery and do a nandroid backup
3. Put ROM's zip to sdcard
4. In recovery, Wipe all userdata and wipe dalvik cache
5. Install ROM's zip
6. Boot up
7. Install app what you used to back up and restore all apps

Wow thansk for the quick reply!
I've got titanium backup, will it backup EVERYTHING? So I basically have the same phone, with a few added features of the Custom ROM?
Also, do I not need to use ROM Manager at all?

Before you flash the ROM:
From what I get it (and I just flashed successfully v45 twice), you need:
1. ext3/4 partition after your fat32 on the sdcard (can be done manually by gparted or by ClockWorkMod in the menus)
2. s-off (using alpharev's iso on a stock rom, and from what I understand, it is necessary for v45.)
3. CM7 partition table (fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img, fastboot reboot-bootloader, fastboot erase cache. You get the image file from alpharev's site)
4. Clockworkmod 3.2 (alpharev gives you 2.5, you need to flash a new one or fakeflash it)
Only after that you flash the ROM.

-If you use free titanium backup u need to back up all apps one by one
-Yep, same phone with extra features
-No need for Rom manager

Thanks Q, forgot to mention those things
And if you don't want to flash CM7 partition sizes, just download A2SD version of insertcoin

Hey guys,
I was trying to install this INSERT COIN ROM (I had one of the previous versions) without any progress for a couple of days, untill I ran on this thread.
So I saw that I needed CWM 3...
(My issue was that I was not able to increase the internal phone storage via the ext4 partition.)
Did a search in the forum and found a link on how to flash it via ROM manager. It all went well, but downgraded my CWM version to 2.5.0.7 i think... And on the same thread a guy posted that he did a image flash from a Terminal Emulator.... Soooo... I decided to give it a try... I did everything and nothing happened...
What I thought of doing next was flashing a simple ROM before doing everything all over again. I got into bootloader (power off button and volume down) and when in go to recovery it gets stuck on the startup screen.
I'm sory if it is not the right place to ask, but I do not know what to do... Phone loads normaly, but without recovery...
And I am helpless right now...
Please, anyone advise how to proceed.
Thanks so much.

1. Is your phone rooted?
2. Is your phone s-off?
3. What do you see on the recovery stuck screen? (Is it a phone with a red triangle on it?)

The phone is both rooted and S-OFF.
I see the splash screen of AlphaRev and nothing more... Nothing happens, but when I remove the battery, insert it again and start it the phone loads. There is just no RECOVERY option.

Once you press Power+Vol Down, instead of going to recovery, go to fastboot mode, connect device to usb, and on your computer:
fastboot flash recovery image-file-of-new-recovery.img
where "image-file-of-new-recovery.img" is the image of cwm-2.5 or cwm-3.2.
Good luck, cross fingers, and no warranty provided

Thank you so much! It worked!

Isn't it supposed to have more than 200MB of free internal memory?
I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Tried every way...

IMHO this is one of the best guides I've seen so far for flashing a desire from start to finish:

Thanks, man. I'll give it a try & give feedback.

Summarizing the stages: (SERVED WITHOUT WARRANTY!!!)
SD Card partition table (purposed): (8GB)
7 GB FAT32
1 GB ext3/4 (without journaling!)
Then you need:
1. Root (I assume you have, use unrevoked otherwise)
2. Backup all
3. flash a stock rom
4. Use alpharev's iso to s-off
5. Rewrite partition table (internal phone partitions, not sdcard): fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img , fastboot reboot-bootloader , fastboot erase cache
6. Wipe all
7. flash ClockWorkMod 3.2 or fakeflash it.
8. flash InsertCoin ROM itself.
9. recommend to flash a new radio (fastboot flash radio radio_image.img)
(Ofcourse, if you already done some of these, just skip)
Correct me if I missed a thing!

Depends what partition table layout you are using. I use CM7 and after flashing i have ~210MB free internal memory

Okay then... Why do you need an separate 1GB ext3? On the previous INSERTCOIN I was using it was for app2sd, so I guess that this version does not support that.
And if that is the case... I fill a lot more relieved and dumber because I did everything right.
So if that is the issue, then if you get low on space? Move them to SD or there is some other trick?
Sory once again for the dumb questions.

Yes, that ext3 is for app2sd.
If you are low on space how much exactly do you have free internal memory?

Well, I have about 200MB now on a freshly flashed ROM. But i thought that it would be more, since on the previous INSERTCOIN that I had was about twice as much.

Does that mean that your InsertCoin installation is complete?

Havent tried it yet but flashed it. Would it be possible to make an easier way to go back? Instead of having to select the return or ../ option. Anyways thanks for this.

Good suggestion. I added it. Version 3.0.3 has the capacitive keys working and the option to use the menu item -Return or the capacitive back key to backup a menu.

That shouldn't happen on this device. Check if you have a /etc/install-recovery.sh and if so delete it then reflash the recovery.

only way clockwork should come back is if you flash it in ROM Manager or overwriting it elsewhere.
also to the OP, have you thought about porting the Team Win Recovery?

TeamWin's official recovery currently doesn't support the ext3 filesystem, which we (the Inc2) use. Some of the unofficial ports for other devices do, but the ones that have added ext3 support (like the Tbolt port) seem to be dirty hacks at the moment. I was looking at porting it myself, but TeamWin said that they are adding support for a lot of additional devices, including the Inc2, so I'd be duplicating effort that's already ongoing

no. Cwm and amon ra nandroids are not interchangeable. I'm not going to try to mess with team-win. I like ra recovery and thats what I use. IMO it is the best recovery option out there for all devices. FYI you can use manual flash override option in rom manager to make it not require flashing clockwork to use most of the features of it.

Preferred means of flashing are in 2nd post. Flash_image can also be used to flash from android or recovery but hboot zip and fastboot are easiest methods.

How to Flash/Use Multirom(Noob friendly)

Okay these are the steps I took and put as simple as possible.Some steps may be skipped depending on if you have done them or not.These are written based off my setup and what i did.
Disclaimer:Me nor Tassadar or bigsupersquid are responsible for any damage done to your phone so use at your own risk.
Multirom Install:
1.Format through cwm your sd card to have an ext(Recommended 512 mb)
2.Download the two zips from bigsupersquid posted here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20626123#post20626123
3.Place them both onto your sd card.
4.Boot into cwm and flash the cwm zip you downloaded from squid's thread.
5.Now reboot your phone and then boot again into cwm(It should have blue text if it flashed correctly and the multirom option)
6.Now I highly recommend you make a backup of your current rom just in case anything goes wrong.(I made a copy of it onto my pc as well.)
7.Now flash the other zip titled "Multirom..." and wait for it to install.Now reboot to see if it boots.If boots then everything has been done correctly.
Rom on SD Card setup/install:
For this I have install on phone the latest build of cm for oV and will be using the same rom to setup on sd card just for test.
1.Now here Make another backup of your current rom through recovery(Will be used trust me)
2.Now flash the rom you want to use on sd card.(If using a 2.3 rom then the sd card crom msu also be 2.3 and vice versa for 2.2 roms).Reboot phone(a must so dalvik is created correctly).(Make sure to do the appropriate steps fro flash rom like wiping etc.)
3.Reboot back into recovery.Go to multirom and select "Create from current rom". (flash the multirom zip again if it says folder not found)(ROM on the sdcard is placed in /sd-ext/multirom/rom/).
4.After it finished you can go ahead and restore the backup you made in step 1. and the reboot after finished and wait until boot manager shows up.
5.Select boot from sd card and it should boot into the rom you chose to install to sd.(If it doesn't then you did one of the steps wrong).
6.That's it you now have multirom booting enjoy it !
MultiROM recovery menu description:
Active/deactive state is for recovery only, you can boot ROMs from backup in boot manager - that means its N-times boot rather than dual-boot.
When not active(boot from internal memory):
Activate (move from backup) - when you already have backup, this will move it to active folder (fast).
Activate (copy from backup) - same as above, but it copies it instead of moving
Create from current ROM - pretty self-explanatory
When active(boot from sdcard):
Deactivate (move to backup) - Moves current ROM to backup folder, so next boot will be from internal memory
Backup - Creates backup of current ROM
Erase current ROM - Deletes current rom, next boot will be from internal memory
Copy modules from int mem - Copies modules from ROM in internal memory to SDcard. Try this if WiFi does not work in SDcard ROM.

Well pros would be you can dual boot between roms.Cons would be not many different roms since most are based off cm7 lol

why would i want to switch on the go from roms? im not being a **** or anything just wondering why someone would want to do that.

If you flash the recovery image using flash_image while booted into android, I think it's safe to say just about zero.

Something was not working right because a couple people using the multi recovery couldnt get rzrecovery to install. Not sure if they got IHO installed or not. I have a feeling something is not allowing flash_image to work properly with that recovery.
I just wanted to see what the devs of this recovery thought.

Tetris from recovery is worth it by itself! havn't installed a second rom yet but this is cool anyways

Well for sure you need Linux. You also need a lot of space on your Drive.
Is it for Stock or Custom Rom (Like CM7)
Try checking this out: Build a custom kernel and [HOWTO] Build custom kernel, libraries and applications on your own
Make sure you're using the right/recommended toolchain but if you pulled directly from the AOSP repo then i guess that's not your problem.

thank you for cwm recovery for 5660m but when I try to clear dalvik cache it reset back to home screen

This customization is much appreciated however I still have two bugs:
1- I can’t mount the sd-ext (I’m using ext2 partition for link2sd); everything else were mounted correctly (cache, system, data and SD )
2- In the last step of backup I had an error when trying to generate the md5 sum (error while generating md5 sum!)
Any thoughts?
Thanks

1- Weird.. Try checking the original post and ask for help there or search your problem there
2- Did you try backing up just once or multiple times? Try backing up more than once. I had same problem even without my mods. But i tried what I said above and it works. If it still doesn't work ask in the original thread also and/or search on google

All right it seems like there's some Bugs with this modded cwm. I'll try to find the problem and fix it Thanks for posting bug

EDIT~
It seems when I Backup on my own phone (without any fix yet), it seems to work!? Keep in mind I also have no SD EXT.

Peteragent5,
I just tested Nandroid backup with your CWM and ArpegGioMod 0.8 and I also get "error while generating md5 sum!". I tried it multiple times.
You mentioned that it works on your phone, but were you testing it with an EXT4 base system or RFS?
Nandroid backup with your CWM on a Ext4 system worked fine for me, but not RFS.

Nandroid backup with your CWM on a Ext4 system worked fine for me, but not RFS.

I actually was testing on RFS lol
My backups work fine?

[Q] Many questions (CWM, ROMs)

Hi,
I'm new here and I'd like to install a new ROM on my Gio but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before trying something and bricking my phone. :angel:
ClockWorkMod
I installed CWM v5.2.0.6 (followed the instructions here). Is this ok, or do I need to install v5.0.2.7? And if I do need a newer version, is there a way to get an update or do I have to follow the same steps as before?
1.Download the CWM 5.0 v2 and copy to the Root (not in any folder) of your SD card
2. Put your phone in recovery Mode(press: Home button + Power button toghether)
3. In recovery mode, select the downloaded file from SD-card(Use Volume keys to navigate and home button for enter).
4. Search for the root gb updated.zip file on your SD-card
5. Run the update
6. Reboot

I tried creating a backup with the CWM version I have, but I get this error: "Can't mount /system".
CWM does create a folder in sdcard/ clockworkmod/ backup/ date, but it only contains the following files:
recovery.img and boot.img.
However, this post says I should actually have more files in the backup folder:
.android_secure.vfat.tar ,boot.img , cache.ext4.tar , data.ext4.tar , nandroid.md5 , recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.
Is this because of my CWM version? Or maybe because I still have the operating system that came with my device (+updates)?
What I really want to know is: can I rely on this backup, will it work?
ROMs
I want to install CM10.1.5 from here, but I have many questions and I don't really know where to look for answers. (Sorry, I really am a complete noob.)
What's the difference between androidarmv6 jenkins build and mardon build? And what's the difference between the 3 versions? Can I just install the Version with CM-Superuser and not worry about it?
Should the updates be installed via CWM - apply update from SDcard? What about the additions - CWM --> install zip from SDcard?
How can I install extras if they are "not CWM flashable"?
What happens to my apps when I install a new ROM? Do I have to install them all again? Is all data lost? Or will they all be restored from my google account and the SD card or something like that?
Finally, how can I use the ext2 partition in my SDcard to install apps? Is this function included in the ROM? Or do I need to install something else? a2sd darktremor? If yes, how (I find the instructions here confusing and overwhelming, and the post is old, so probably outdated)? Or should I use the "Link2SD" addition to the ROM?
I'm sorry for asking so much, but I'm feeling kind of lost.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?
I've continued trying to figure things out when I have time. I'll post what I find in this thread, in case someone else comes here looking for answers to similar doubts/problems.
In trying to understand what's going on with ClockWorkMod Recovery, I found this very useful link:
wwwDOTtechbiiDOTcom / cwm-recovery-cant-mount-system-error-solution-how-to/
(sorry for the DOTs and spaces, can't post outside links yet)
CWM Recovery – Can’t Mount System Error Solution [How To]
(...)
The error is an expected one and happens generally when you are trying to backup a stock ROM using the clock work mod recovery. Please, note that you can’t do a completed nandroid backup of a stock firmwares. So, just install any custom ROM and then you can backup and restore anytime.

If I understood correctly, the best (only?) way to return to stock ROM is to install Odin or similar firmware flashing tool and to get the stock firmware from sites like sammobile.com and sampro.pl. However, it also says that not all firmwares might be available and I haven't looked more into it all of this yet.

Did you root your phone yet?
That should solve the problem from the can't mount system, data, etc

Yes, I used the instructions there to root my phone and install CWM (v5.0.2.6), but that thread is 2 years old, so I'm afraid it won't be up to date in relation to certain things. For example, I did create an ext2 partition on my SD card using those instructions, but I found an easier way to move apps from my phone to the SDcard (using the link2SD app, available on Google Play). The information about ROMs is also not up to date.

If you want to install a custom rom just
-wipe data factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advance>wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sdcard
-reboot
NOTE: the zip is the rom

Thank you.
My main concern at the moment is how to restore my original ROM if something should go wrong, though. I've found some interesting information in this thread but I've been busy this week and I'll need to go back and read it all with more attention before I try something.

Download ODIN 4.42 and GIO ops and a sotckrom MD5 file then put it into the odin and put your phone into recovery mdoe and plug it into your computer. Then click start

Yes it is possible and you need ODIN 4.42, GiPS and a Stock Rom extracted out of the zip.
