[GUIDE] Revert back to RFS | Convert to EXT4 - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Nothing more, nothing less. Let's head straight into the Guide.
Back to RFS:
Flash your Gio back to Stock with ODIN
When phone reboots, quickly hold home button
You'll then install the CSC, but it fails on data.
When phone reboots again, quickly hold home button
Now you're in Stock Recovery
Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Reboot
Now you're back to RFS
Reboot to Recovery, and then CSC will install again
Reboot and now you're complete
Convert to EXT4:
(WARNING: This will wipe SYSTEM and all your DATA, so please install a ROM after you've done this)
Download ext4-formatter.zip
Copy it to the root of your SD Card
Reboot into Recovery
Select install zip
Select ext4-formatter.zip & install it
Reboot
Now you're converted to EXT4!

Do I need a kernel with ext4 support?
I am using stock 2.3.6 rom and flashed this kernel before
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469203
There are three new apps, spare parts, D?S manager and Tweaks.
However, tweaks didn't work and it said "U need CF-root support "
Now I have returned to stock kernel
How come?

you need to flash cf-root kernel in order to work with tbe tweaks.

I also tried with a CF-Root kernel, but it can't format into ext4 too.

you need custom recovery aswell.

thanks a lot sir

Hello there,
First of all: Thanks for making this great tutorial.
Second: I am experiencing difficulties with the downloading part. I get to a black screen which has yellow letters which display: "Downloading..."
It is however not making any progress, not even after about half an hour. Do you have any idea which could cause this / solve this?
Thanks in advance!
~Nerdy~

What kind of gio do you owned?

ROM manager don't want to start new ROM

THIS POST IS COPY/PASTE FROM "DESIRE ANDROID DEVELOPMENT"...I THINK THIS IS RIGHT PLACE FOR THIS POST PERHAPS...
Hi there got some problems with ROM manager (latest version from Market)...
I put new LeeDroid on my SD card and when start ROM manager goes to "Install rom from sd card" RM asked me for directory and I "tell" him where the ROM is...when I tap on LeeDroid (.zip) ask me for ROM Pre-installation and I tick both options - OK - press Reboot into Clockwork Recovery and continue the installation. I press OK and nothing happened then
Then tried with untick both options - same thing...
Then I try Reboot into Recovery options and nothing happened again
Then download CyanogenMod 6.1.1. from ROM manager - same thing...nothing happened
But when I Reboot into Recovery mod (Hot reboot app) reboot was successfull and I was making System backup....
What is going wrong there
Please help me
Clockwork mode is 2.5.0.7.
P.S.
Sorry if my english is poor
If the ROM Manager is giving you problems, just install your ROM from the recovery menu
Ok...I'll try now
It's going on......and finished
What now?? Nothing happened after that....I have to put the battery out or what?
I was put the battery out and then start device...i'm in AlphaRev Recovery now and when press "Reboot system now" nothing happened??
You mean you have installed Leedroid from your SD card in Recovery?
Once successfully installed, you don't need to pull out your battery, you just need to find the option in your recovery to restart OR boot up your system.

What now?? There's no any menu....
I put back Recovery from Nand backup and press "reboot system now" but there is just black screen on device and nothin' happened..
PLEASE HELP ANYONE!
Finally
Reboot to fastbot was my option and then reboot
you should be selecting [choose .zip from card], then navigate to whatever you named your Leedroid zip.
After this installs and completes, select the option to reboot system, and you're good to go.

E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
But how?? I was recover once today successfully...what's goin' wrong?
md5 mismatch could mean that the recovery is corrupted?
try turning signature verification off in your recovery to try to fix your signature verification failed problem.
OR try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114
But I have to ask, when you did you make that backup of that stock 2.2?

[Q] Which Clockworkmod to Install?

On the sticky thread there is a link for cwm thread, however I'm not quite sure which filesystem to choose, I'm going to install through recovery, seems safer for me. I want to install cwm for 2 purposes, first I'm planning to backup my stock rom so that I can always flash it back if I need my warranty and second I'm planning to flash cm9 to my phone. I'm not quite sure what is the diffrence between rfs and ext4 is Currently I'm on 2.2.1 stock rom.
Actually I found the proper version of CWM to install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
But I can't apply it, when I enter recovery mode the options I have are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace parition
Pheraps I should rename the zip file I downloaded to update.zip? I can't select any other zip from the sd card and if I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" it searches for update.zip and fails to find it.

First you have to root and format to ext4, before installing CWM.
Download mode, remove battery, insert battery, press power, home, volume down, at the same time.

Phone doesn't reboot
Hi,
I hope anybody reads this.
I downloaded the .tar.md5 files and proceeded with the instructions.
Though Odin tells me that it's flashing the telephone this is the last message of the log "<1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting."
And nothing happens afterwards. I can only see that the phone switches on again, but the screen stays dark.
Can you help me with anything? I already spent hours because i just tried to get a custom recovery on the phone because I couldn't install CyanogenMod from the SD card.

So first I flashed the stock firmware back again to be safe that at least it's still working. That was successful.
Ok I forgot to install the GB bootloader, I didn't mention this. But from the links of the first page none is working anymore.
Can you provide me one?
Also now I can't get into the stock recovery anymore with "T + Power".

[Q] Help needed, soft bricked i8150 Galaxy Wonder

Hey guys..
May need some help here as I've currently soft bricked my mum's device while trying to update to CM11 (2014-01-05: CM-11.0 20140105-UNOFFICIAL) from CM10 (2013-10-23: CM10 Final Release) for i8150 Samsung Galaxy Wonder. Below are the details how did I bricked it, what I've done and etc. Hope some one could help me.
What have I done to soft bricked it
Tried to update to CM11 from CM10 while still using CWM 6.0.1.2. Flashed CWM 6.0.4.5-ancora after that using ODIN but stuck at bootloop no matter what I do.
View attachment 2495891
What I've done trying to unbricked it
1. Reflashing back to stock rom (ODIN shows FAILED for some reason)
2. Reflashing between CM10 & CM11 (installing gapps for each version as well)
3. Installing different ROM version.
4. Taking the battery out for 1 whole night
5. Wiping delvick, restore factory settings / wupe user data, format data, format cache, format system, wipe cache partition
The situation now
Able to go into recovery & download mode, all buttons working
Not sure if this helps but when I try to charge the phone, the battery will show as below without any charging status. After 2 minutes the phone will be powered on automatically.

Appreciate if someone could look into this for me as I feel really bad bricking my mum's phone leaving her phoneless to work.

Also, if you want to install new ROM, do this step :
Go to CWM
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and select "format /system". This is extremely important!!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)
install the ROM (from the external sd)

The important thing with the situation like this is to stay calm first Happens to me once b4, bootloop after reboot by deleting one .apk file and when i flashed stock ROM (5x i think) , i got stuck at samsung logo. Download mode only shoes the icon, no menu's and restarts after a few seconds. What I did, flash CWM 6.0.4.5 via odin. After that, reboot to CWM and did the following: credit to @arsradu

Note: Do this steps before flashing stock ROM in CWM:
Select "wipe data / factory reset"
Go to "mounts & storage" and select "format /system". This is extremely important!!
Under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)

Thanks.. Will give it a go and see whether this works or not later tonight.. :fingers-crossed:
UPDATE: completed reflashing to stock rom already. But currently no usb ports can detect the phone. Real headache lol~
Could be as simple as trying a different USB cable....they DO wear out / become loose over time. Very common problem over on the S2 forum, and both phones have the same connector.......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM

I've tried connecting to 3 different PCs running on both Win8 and Win7 with 4 cables, all not working somehow.
Have you disabled firewalls and/or antivirus before connection.....also ended any kies processes in task manager.....

Thanks for your reply. Yes all disabled, luckily I managed to find an old laptop running on Win7 and successfully rolled back to Touchwiz.
Now the phone boots normally but I could not re-flash it to CM10.1 any more, it will get stuck at the bootlop again. :crying:
