Hope this will help you...........
Instructions
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied. A guide in pictures
4. (optional) Wipe data+cache before rebooting. It may or may not work OK to not wipe data but it's propably best to wipe.A guide in pictures
5. If you skip step 4 because you are upgrading you MUST still clear the dalvik-cache because of JIT being enabled in RLS6.
My phone is rooted and I wanted to install a rom and theme. What steps do I have to take in order to do it? Thanks

The instructions are generally in the first post of the thread with the download. But typically you put the zip on your card, boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install zip from sd, then reboot.

If you are new to this and not know what booting into recovery is, then you will need to flash clockworkmod. Clockworkmod is used to do all the installing and wiping as k_nivesout mentioned
You can get the clockworkmods from http :// dougpiston . com/?page_id=85
Just rename the file to PB31IMG.zip and place it onto your sdcard, boot up into HBOOT and update when the system prompts you. (it will automatically find the file and ask you) The file has to be on the root of the sdcard, not in a folder.
once you flash the clockworkmod, then you can go into recovery and wipe data, cache, davlik and factory reset. then install your ROM (place the ROM.zip file on SD card and navigate to it)
make sure your rom matches the clockworkmod version you have, otherwise you will end up with amend script errors
Flashing tutorial
I'm about to install PARANOIDANDROID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818199&highlight=i747 to my samsung galaxy s3 (i747) but i'm not sure where I should place the downloaded rom and GAPPS zip files?
From my understanding, I need to follow these steps but if I wipe cache, delvik, data factory reset, and format system.. wouldn't that delete the rom file and gapps and then wouldn't know how to get them back to the phone..
1- Download ROM and Gapps to internal sd card
2- Boot phone into recovery
3- WIPE Cache/Delvik/Data factory reset> Mounts and Storage- format system
4- Flash ROM and Gapps
5- Let phone boot, set up google Play and reboot phone (To be done right, this whole process should take 10 - 15 minutes)
Nope, if you follow the instructions you should be fine.

Well, I simply downloaded the files from my computer and was going to transfer them to my phone via the micro usb cable..
Is it safe to place them in phone -> clockworkmod folder then follow the steps I posted above?
Thank you

Just put it in the root directory of your internal, it doesn't really matter where you put it though.... with CWM you can navigate through folders.

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.
