Trying to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402341
on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is rooted.
However every time I try to install via CWM Recovery, I get 'installation aborted', what would cause this?
sorry, i don't understand
Thanks for replying.
I've rooted my device and I want to install a custom ROM.
When I try to install it via CWM Recovery, it says the installation was interrupted.
How can I fix this?
Did you try downloading the ROM again and putting new copy on your sdcard? Possibly a corrupt download

Thanks, I'll try that.
Just to check,
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-milestone-2/
'AOKP maguro Milestone 2 '
which is a zip file
Is what I should be trying to install right?
Maybe clear cache or data? (At your own risk as i am not sure)
I used mah awesome Xperia Play R800i w/ CM7 to write this
What is your version of Clockwork Mod?
Did you make a full Wipe of you phone before flashing the new ROM?
Did you check the checksum of the ROM file?
if you use CMW you need safe zip file into sd card.
Check this also.
Is the bootloader unlocked on your phone? Having this in place is better incase your attempts soft brick the phone.

if you use things like app2sd and link to sd yes you can put apps to sd. also you can get custom roms that have apps to sd already enabled.
and that depends on what kind of brick. if you get a soft brick, you can try to fix with a ruu, usually as long as you can get to the bootloader you are ok but if you get a hard brick your f***ed. you would need a jtag- used for modifying software on the chip- and they don't come cheap and are not much use without the knowledge of how to use it.
with that in mind though, hard bricks are usually quite hard to do. only times ive ever really heard of it happening is when people flash the wrong radio files or bootloader files. since you have s-off (i assume by xtc clip) be warned that your phone wont give you any warnings if something is wrong or will kill it, radio and bootloader wise.
but. if you are only rooting the odds of you bricking are low, allowing you follow guides properly ect. hope this helps you keep informed
thanks for the fast reply
well i have hacked my psp
like when installing custom firmware you should not press anything or remove the battery and connect anything with it
if you did it gets brick without that there are 5% chance it will brick
so mostly what are the reasons which cause andriod to brick
thanks a lot for helping though
and also can you send me the best rooting method too
the plan.

well, most of the hard bricks come from flashing system stuff that is corrputed/for the wrong phone/ not built right. ect ect ect
with soft bricks it varys usually flashing stuff that then doesnt work is peoples most common mistake. alot of people think that theery brick there phone when they flash a new rom without deleting the caches ect and the get stuck in a boot loop.- a bootloop is where the phone gets stuck booting up an cannot get past it. easly recoverable
the best way to root for you is going to be by getting the clockworkmod recovery image, flashing it to your phone and then flashing the superuser script from the recovery.
so first download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 after youve downloaded this place it on the root (not int any folder) of your sd card.
then go to the bootloader (i assume you know how since you xtc clipped your device) and your phone should find the pg76img.zip then push the up button to flash it. that should be successful and the phone should reboot. after this go back to your bootloader, and scroll down (using the volume buttons) to recovery. select it and your phone should boot into clockworkmod recovery
now i suggest that you perform a nandroid backup. a nandroid backup is a complete copy of the system image, your rom/apps/contacts/txt messages, the lot. everything is copyied and saved as a backup, so if things go wrong you can always go back to it. i recommend you do a backup before you try anything, just so you can always roll back to it
so scroll down to backup and restore and select backup. make sure you have like 500mb of space on your sdcard just to be sure you have enough space.
after that you will want to go to here http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and download that. same plan again, put it on the root of your sdcard and then go back to recovery.
this time select install zip from sdcard. (or something like that) then select CHOOSE zip. then choose the superuserzip you downloaded and select flash it. when this is done reboot the phone and wait for it to boot fully. when its done go into your list of installed apps and when you see the superuser app you will know your definatly rooted
discliamer as with everyone else here i take no responsibility if this kills your phone, slays a dragon, turns into a wizard or blows up into a neutron star lol but if you follow this guide you should be fine. pretty noob proof.

do i need to format the sd card or its ok without it?
It should be fine without formatting if its the one that came with the phone also what do you mean use the charger? A. Make sure the phone has full battery and b. If you mean for transferring the data to the sdcard then yes of course

Remove the SD card while you turn off the phone. Then go into recovery, insert the SD card while the phone is on.

thanks a lot everyone i was able to root my phone and i can see the superuser app too
btw if i use a wrong app or not compatible custom rom or some other stuff will it cause my phone to brick
A hard brick is usually caused when you flash wrong bootloader or radio files.
A soft brick, usually caused by flashing wrong custom ROMs can be recovered easily.
Just read carefully before you do anything with your phone and you're good to go.

I installed this yesterday jb-takju.zip. I was originally on cm9 rc1. In the process I managed to wipe my entire directory, nandroid backups included. I tried to get cwm back via fastboot and was able to then flashed CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip to get root right after. Now besides losing all my data, I cant keep the cwm touch recovery on, it keeps going back to the default recovery screen when I try to boot into recovery from rom manager. So at this point I'm baffled, not used to not have an sd card.
How can I have avoided this? How does titanium backup work with dropbox I couldnt get that set up. Also should I be flashing a different version of JB?
I didn't loose all any data on sdcard but was losing car. I ended up using the xbigie version. That was decided,rooted....

You must mean the virtual sdcard which I dont even see in my directories.

Not acceptable, I already lost all my nandroid backups so I might as well use available JBs and start fresh
You're losing your cust recovery because there is a script you need to delete that auto installs default recovery on every reboot. It should be named the same as it was in ICS when the phone first came out. I'm look for the exact name now unless someone beats me to it.
Edit: /system/recovery-from-boot.p is the file. Rename or delete. Then it should stop reloading stock recovery. Just make sure you have CWM installed already and you're good to go.
Hi, guys and girls.
I know this question sounds stupid, and someone might say: "Duuuh, use the seach-function!" - Well, I have, but as a new member it's pretty hard finding the things that I need when there's so many sections and such.
Now for my question:
At Christmas I recieved a Samsung Galaxy Gio. The phone is cool, and I like it a lot. However, I do wanna use a custom ROM. Can anybody tell me (step by step, please) how to do so? I have read the "Big thread For New Users", but somehow I managed to get lost in all of the fine new words.
I have done it before on my HTC Touch Diamond, (but I dropped it and now it won't start again) but I really can't figure out how to do so this time - and it would be sad to ruin my new phone by doing stuff I don't know anything about.
So, could anybody please be nice and tell me how to install a custom ROM? And please keep in mind that I'm a huuuuge newbie
I'm using Android 2.3.6
Thanks in advice.
Dennis
P.S. Would I be able to "revert" everything back to how it is now? Is there a way to "unroot" (I know there is, just not how to), and can the default ROM from Samsung be found anywhere?
okay so first DON'T use Rom Manager because it bricks your gio.
if you want to flash a custom rom you need to flash clockwork recovery. after that download "ext4 formatter" and flash it with cwm recovery (install zip->choose zip). download a custom rom and flash it in the same way as "ext4 formatter". wipe data and restart your phone... (clockwork mod recovery, ext4 formatter and custom roms can be found in development section)
if you don't like all these custom roms you can install the stock rom by downloading a stock rom on sammmobile.com and flashing with odin.
Sorry for my bad englisch

Please keep in mind that I'm at huuuge newb. I don't know what half of the words you mentioned means. Could you please explain it a little more detailed?

You don't to be a delevoper if you want to flash your phone. It's really very easy if you read a few infos about this. One post above you have a list of things that you have to do but it's easy. You can do this in about 10 minutes. Very important is: you must know what you do. And do this ! Here you can view a lot of tutorials and links of roms, recorecys etc. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623393
Ok, so I guess this is what I'm gonna do:
1. Doing a hard reset of my phone (wipe).
2. Root my Gio using this guide.
3. Downloading and flashing a custom ROM (I'm very unsecure on this step, please give a detailed "guide").
4. After flashing (is flashing the same thing as installing?), I start up my Gio and I'm gonna do a hard reset.
Is this the way to do it?

1. Not needed to do before flashing but it doesn't hurt either
2. No need for ROOT if you plan flashing a custom rom. 100% of custom roms have root pre-installed.
3. Download the file, put it on your SD card (do not put it in any folder, just on your sdcard), go into recovery mode, chose install zip from sdcard, navigate to the file, chose it, chose Yes and wait for it to finish, do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition from CWM and you're done!
4. Yes, start it up (it takes quite long time to boot it for the first time) and you may do the hard reset but i have never done it and my Gio is still working perfectly. And yes flashing and installing is basically the same thing.
P.S I know how you feel exactly atm. When i got my gio and learned about flashing custom roms and rooting, I was scared as well but now i have installed many roms and now it is like a normal thing for me. Have fun and DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!
Don't forget to click thanks if it helped

The first two steps are right. after that you are downloading the clockwork mod recovery (also called cwm) and the ext4 formatter from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650. now you are entering the stock recovery. turn off your phone and restart it but hold the power and home button at boot. now flash the cwm zip file (in the thread is all explained how to do). restart the phone and enter the cwm recovery by holding power and home button at boot. go to "install zip" -> "choose zip" and choose the ext4 formatter zip file. okay now wipe data. download a custom rom and install it in cwm like the other zip files. wipe again data. now restart your phone.
and tadaaa it should work
ps: if you are from Germany (i think so because of your name) you can write me a pn if you need help and i can explain it in German

Hi,
Thanks for both of the answers - However, there is something that I'm confused about now. Jyrx, you say that I don't need to root if it's a custom ROM, because custom ROMs already have done a root. But emyaz tells me that it should be done. Aren't most ROMs from xda custom? Fx. this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062676 (CyanogenMod 10.1 [BETA 2.5]) - is this a custom ROM? If it is, I don't need to ROOT, right?
emyaz, unfortunately no - I'm Danish, and I know very little German

Yes, like I said every custom rom has root. I think what emyaz thinks is that root is essential and if you don't install a custom rom you should root your phone. And your example has root and it doesn't need to be rooted.
EDIT: On XDA yes, there are basically only custom roms. If a rom isn't a custom rom or doesn't have a root then it is most certainly said in the topic.
You need to root your device before you start flashing roms. But is it nessesary to flash an ext4 formatter. I didn't do it. I do not have any problems. Where do you need it for?
Ardee - Sent from my Gio using xda premium app
Now I'm confused. One says that I don't need to flash, but others says that I need to.
I didn't root my phone before flashing roms. And I also haven't used ext4 formatter and it is working fine. So I don't know about that really.
---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Well I think for safety, root it. If you don't probably nothing will happen but I'm not sure, but if you do then nothing bad will happen either.
Half of the people answering give the wrong answers.
- root
- install custom recovery
- backup
Flash ext4formatter (cleans all partitions and mounts as ext4, no wipes needed, only use this first time installing a rom or after using ODIN to restore to stock)
- install rom
-reboot

what i mean was that you need to root your device to install the cwm recovery. so the first step is to root your device and then install cwm recovery. sorry if i confused you
all custom roms are rooted...

great rom, minimal issues. philz advanced recovery is cwm with a good touch interface and more and very helpful options.
So yes, switch. All else is almost always solveable as long as your recovery is solid.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

6.0.4.9 is the latest.

Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

good to hear you got it sorted. CM just isn't happening yet. just watch the forum like a hawk like everyone else is...:cyclops:
If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2

Thank you for the fast help, the tablet is up and running, gone skip for know trying to use CM mod.
