Hello guys, couple days back I quit smoking so i had some spare time and I thought I could improve my 1st android phone. Well, I am smoking this very moment and I have a very nice paperweight on my desk.
ROM: t=1873652
I've tried installing the ROM, but it didn't work. I've done everything exactly as in the tutorial, but I got stuck.
So I got past these steps:
* Download the CWM for pocket from here
* Copy update.zip into your internal memory
* Go to recovery mode (Vol-up + Home + Power)
* Choose apply Update from SD card
* Select update.zip file
* Wipe data factory reset,
* Wipe Cache data
but then I tried installing the ROM itself from the SD card I got the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
I can't cancel the installation or boot my system, I don't have a data cable, although I have a card reader if that helps. My android was on the S5300XXLF5 stock firmware and I am using CWM v5.0.2.8. Oh and everytime I try to reboot the device from CWM menu it just freezes all I'm seeing is the console with the "Rebooting..." at the bottom of it.
What should I do now? I want to either get this ROM working or just getting my phone to work with any firmware - any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
update1
I get an error even before that, it pops up during "Data Factory Reset" procedure:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblklp2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
oh and BTW, CWM getting stuck in the "rebooting..." stage is a perk of this build apparently...
Where did you get your ROM? Did you download the Mak-Droid ROM?
Copy the zip file to your sdcard. After you get the CWM running, you proceed to installing your new ROM. Read the instructions carefully.
And if you are stuck in rebooting, if you read the instructions- it tells you to manually reboot by pressing the power button. After this reboot, it will go back to the original MOD the you reboot again.
This should work for you...
I had the same experience. Just manually reboot the phone.
It is stated on the instructions that the reboot option on CWM for galaxy pocket doesn't work as of now.

If you applied update.zip after that - 1)put the file on the root (I.e when you open my files the first page that appears)
2)reboot to cwm
3)wipe data/factory;wipe cache partition;and go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache
4)now go back and select install zip from sdcard
5)choose the file and select yes
6)wait installing....completed
7)reboot
Wait 2-5 min to load the rom and then enjoy..

Hi,
I've just downloaded ROM Manager & tried to partition my SD card but failed.
What I did:
In Rom Manager,
1. Partition SD Card. It asked to install something. I chose OK.
2. Ext Size 512MB
3. Swap Size 0MB
OK
Then the screen went black with a sign /!\ & the little grean Android guy.
I waited for a long long time, nothing happened.
I hit the power button & it show the following:
(I could move up & down with volume button, but hitting the power button didn't help, so I had to pull out the battery. The phone starts ok...)

My phone is running Froyo 2.2 OTA 2.10.405.2
& Rooted by Unrevoked 3.21.
The reason I rooted the phone mainly to get the apps to SD card.
There's a zip file called recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip in:
D:\clockworkmod\download\koush.tandtgaming.com\recoveries
Should I rename it to update.zip, then run Partition SD Card again?
How do I do that from here please?
Thanks,
D
Mate,
I had the same issue, I run "flash clockworkMod Recovery" the first option in Rom Manager, and then I ran the "Partition SD Card" option again, and everything worked ok.
Thanks

Same problem. I do not see my ROM backup and don't want to continue root till I have a copy. Any help?
Had the same issue but looks to be resolved no by following the steps. Can I ask what the swap file should be set to ? and how do I go about adding extra partitions that some of the new roms need ?
Guys, please help.
I had the phone rooted and a custom rom installed it was a copy of the stock virgin rom without the annoying programs, everything was working fine, but when I needed to change the number on my phone i tried the ## some number # and it didn't work, so I went to the menu and tried a reset to factory default, whe it booted all I get is a clockworkmod recovery console, i can navigate to the sd card where there is a backup of the original rom and info, it lets me restore but when i boot I still get the clockworkmod recovery console it will only boot into this console, when i try updating or intalling a new room it always fails, can anybody please help me?
not bricked
Your not fully bricked if you can get to the clockwork mod. What version of clockwork do you have... 3.0.2.4? have you tried plugging phone into computer and see if it connects via sd card adapter not usb (looking for errors dead sd card)
try wipe data and sd card If this doesnt work try these steps found by ldking93 on androidforums.com ( I can't post link yet do too xda spamming rules :-(
1. Put your SD Card into your computer.
2. Download CM7 from here.
3. Download the google apps (Market, etc...) from here
4. Put these both on your SD Card, still zipped. (DO NOT unzip these!)
5. Start up into recovery (Hold volume down, home, power. When you see the LG logo, release)
6. Click wipe cache partition (you will need to use the camera button to select)
7. Click Advanced>> Wipe Dalvik Cache
8. Hit the power button to go back to the main recovery screen
9. Click Mounts and storage, then format
A) data
B) cache
C) boot
D) system
10. Click install zip from SD card
11. Click asopCM7-VM670-20110601-signed.zip
12. Once it finishes (it may be a while, and you should see no errors. If you do, PM me and I will help you.) Click your GApps Zip.
13. Reboot your system. You will now be using clockwork mod 7 (aOSP CM7).
update
download cm7 and gapps (google apps) from cyanogenmod's website, and if it doesn't work try googleing "lg optimus v clockworkmod boot loop" and click on link by androidforums or androidcentral

Hi all
Got an issue that I just cant solve.
I have a desire, rooted, s-on. Was running leedroid 3.3.3, all was working well until couple of days ago when after a reboot all the content on the SD card seemed to disappear. Strange thing was, it could still be read when mounted.
So, after trying a few things I decided to reflash, so wiped cache, data and anything else I could do via recovery.
Copied the leedroid.zip file to my card, renamed update.zip but now when I try to apply it from recovery I get the below error:
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted.
Cant work this out.. people have suggested that I disable verification checking in recovery.. but I dont see that option in the recovery menu I can access?
I wonder if anyone could help me as I am phone-less
many thanks
Assuming you are using clockworkmod recovery, this option should be in "Advanced".

Hey!
When you're flashing a .zip rom use the "install zip from SD card" option, not "apply update .zip". The signature is different, so it wont work.
So just try and wipe cache, data, ext, system, dalvik and battery stats, and then install the zip from the sd without renaming it.
What recovery are you using? I suggest CWM for a clean experience.
Also i suggest to put your sd card in a computer and back-up the contents, than format it again in CWM. At lease fix the permissions.
Check the advanced menu for dalvik wipe, battery stats and fixing permissions.
I hope that helps. If not, write here and we will help you.
Cheers!
thanks for the replies.. i got it working late last night
the problem was that I didn't have the CWM recovery file update.zip on my card.. i had cleared everything and re partitioned the card, so the phone was blank and i only had the rom .zip file
so without the proper update.zip i was unable to get into recovery.
i could not find update.zip anywhere at all for download, but luckily i had an old copy in my dropbox from months ago that i was able to get on my card
then i was able to flash
so.. the lesson i learnt from this issue is always a keep a copy of update.zip
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

1. Which CWM version are you using
2. What ROM are you trying to flash
The first thing you should realize, is that formatting the /system means that Android no longer exist in your phone. Therefore you can no longer boot into your phone; boot into Recovery instead.
The second thing: Are you sure you're trying to flash a ROM explicitly made for the W? ROM from different devices most likely will not be able to run on the W. In fact, the error message "No space on this device" might very well mean that CWM tried to flash the ROM onto the wrong partition.

Hello,
I have a lill Problem, yesterday i saw the new version of Ulitmate HD, so i thought i give it a try, i made my backups and stuff, placed the update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0 on my SD-Card and booted into CWM.
did the following steps
wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount and storage -> format /system
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
- advanced -> wipe battery stats
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and tried to install the FILE, mhh no file with the name update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0 on my SD card, or at least its not showing up in CWM, there was just a file update.zip. i thought maybe thats the ROM file so i tried to use it,
but it didnt work i get an error
E: Cant mount /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
soo i flashed the stock ROM again 4.1.B.1.13, rooted my phone again, xparts for cwm, downloaded Ulitmate HD again, and copied it on my SD Card..
Same Error again, i can only see the update.zip file in CWM not the update_xperia_ultimate_hd_4.0.
what is the problem ? did i miss sth ? it worked without any problems with the old ultimate version.
thx for the help
Sorry for the trouble, i just renamed the file to update.zip and it is working,
amazing ROM :good:
