Evening all,
unrevoked, Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, currently on auraxtsense 7.5.2
Trying to update to latest version of this rom 7.8.1, or Supervillain or any other rom and it doesn't work?
Get in to recovery, select required rom, it flashes very quickly but then cancels with an I/O error?
Any advice please?
Cheers
Done my friends fine, but can't do my own?!
got a similar problem - but I can't flash 7.9 ... can flash 7.8.1
any other roms - I can't ...
P.S. Trying to unroot and root again...

Did you wipe data and cache?
Try downloading that ROM again, maybe .zip is corrupted or something.

Exactly what I was going to recommend do wipe data and cache before.
I dont know the ROM you use but usually custom roms have their own app where you can flash updates without needing to go to recovery mod, I do not know if that is the case of your ROM but you better check it.
Before any changes, Nandroid and Titanium Backup, then full wipe of data, cache, dalvik.
Have downloaded roms from both Swedish and US servers for AuraxT, and have taken Supervillan 4 times now?
Could the sd card be causing the problem? It's a Sandisk 8GB class 6.

Well, it could... I have "noname" 32 GB Class4 card which used to give me erorr when flashing... I don't remember what erorr it was but it might be the same...
That mine sdcard is defective. I can't even copy image correctly on it... Will burn it soon
So, try flashing with another sdcard

When I have Rooted my HTC Desire and I am ready to Flash a new ROM I see I have to Back Up my original ROM to the Root of an SD Card and Download the new Rom to here also. Can I do this on my Original SD Card or do I need to purchase a new one. Chris
You should do that on your SD card and then put it on your computer
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
No you do not. Your backup will be named differently.
Make sure you do you wipes of caches, and Delvik cache (advanced) before flashing.
Also, it is wise to install Rom Manager, and flash your recovery before you flash your new ROM.
Oh, and seeings you have a Desire, it is advisable to make a Gold Card of your sd in case you wish to go back to stock, or problems arise. Do this first before flashing.
Do NOT install the piece of crap that is ROM Manager. It's a waste of time.
Learn to use the custom recovery properly (be it CWM or AmonRA) and you'll find it simple as anything

I see somebody has had some bad experiences.
Personally, I use it to flash my recovery. As for a ROM, I always copy directly to the SD.
But, everybody is entitled to their opinion. And in this forum, there are LOTS of them
Hi,
I have rooted my HTC desire and have S-OFF enabled.
Now I wanted to installed sandvold's ICS rom, but I dont have a clue where to start and I am not attempting to do anything in fear of brick.
I have backuped my phone using titanium backup. Installed Rom Manager.
Now I'm just unsure about installing the rom. I read you needed to install a radio.zip, but I cant see anything like that in the ICS rom.
Also not sure about the micro SD situation, as I'm sure you need a partition for it, so not sure where to start with that.
Basically, I just need a guide to help me with installing this rom and taking all the precautions along the way.
Thanks!
By guide, I dont neccessarily mean for you to make a guide, just a link to one if there is one you know of.
Thanks again.
Okay... umm ditch rom manager would be my first suggestion.
Then check my sig and install 4ext recovery. There is an app on page1 of thread to install it. Its better than rom manager.
Then use 4ext recovery to create a new nandbackup of your current rom.
Then copy ALL contents of your sd card to your computer.
Then use 4ext recovery to create an EXT partition on your sdcard. This will wipe everything on the SD.
Put all your files back to the sd card and the zip file of the rom you wish to flash. And flash the ROM.
About the radio, don't touch the radio for now. Unless you are running froyo you don't need to mess with it yet. But if needed my sig would point you to where the radio files are.
Whats your current radio version anyway?

Hey everyone.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M With Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread that I got from Bell Aliant Along With a Motorola Xoom Wifi Canadian That I bought at Wal-Mart one day.
I am intrested in flashing Custom Roms onto My Samsung Galaxy Gio Gt-S5660M. I have Rooted and Installed ClockworkMod on my Samsung Galaxy Gio Gt-S5660M. I have recently been looking up stuff on how to install them onto my Samsung Galaxy Gio Gt-S5660M. I recently attempted to install Android 4.0.3 Ice cream Sandwich onto it. and I realized that I installed the wrong one because it was for the S5660M Model Not the GT-S5660M, Resulting into a boot failure. as the screen would fade out to black when booting to the Operating System. I was still able to access the Recovery mode (I never Had ClockworkMod Installed at that time) and the Custom ROM Download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power button) but it would fail to connect to my PC (Windows 7 Home Premium & Ubuntu Linux 64-bit) So Later on I told my dad about it and he sent it to bell Aliant to get it fixed. And now I would like to know how I can install a custom ROM and If I ever come across this problem again, how can i solve it without taking it to Bell Aliant to get fixed (Since it's a software related issue)
Thank You For reading and I hope to hear a reply for someone.
When you flash a rom it is very important to do a backup before hand. You sound like your new to this so your in the right place. Whenever you do a back up and you run into a problem like the one you ran in to, it's very simple to restore back to its original state. Also, most companies won't cover software issues once they figure out your rooted. So you might run in to a problem with your company. My advice is to read read read read and ask as many questions as possible before doing anything to your phone you aren't sure about.

hold the power button, the volume down button, and the HOME button at the same time, when the phone is off. then use a tutorial on how to flash roms with ODIN, download a rom from sammobile.com
Here's some ROM's that I am interested in installing:

Would I install them something like this?:
1. Download & Place this rom on your root sdcard
2. Go to recovery mode
3. Install zip from sdcard, install rom (cwm) | Install menu, install rom (RZR)
4. Wait till installation completed
5. Reboot
7. Reboot & Play
also about Rom Manager, I read this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706999
but I can't get the "GT-s5660m" Option to show up on it. Maybe it's the M on the end of it
After the installation is finished, you need to do a factory reset, then reboot.
Otherwise you cant boot.
And for cm9 it may be required to have atleast a gingerbrea2.3.x rom

I have Android 2.3.4 on it will that work?
Also how can I backup my Stock rom on it as well.
I noticed a backup and restore option in Clockworkmod as well (I have Version 5.0.2.6) Will that work incase I mess up again?
First of all, do not use ROM Manager to install CWM, you will brick the device doing so.
The nandroid backup function in CWM should work, but having a working Odin install with your Odin-flashable stock ROM backup is always a nice plus.
While I don't have one personally, there have been reports on here of the same USB jig (a micro USB connector with the appropriate resistor between pins 4 and 5) used on the Galaxy S Vibrant working on the Gio as well. This is if it doesn't want to go into download mode anymore.
These are a few gotchas with flashing ROMs on the Gio I can think of right now:
-Don't flash the Euro baseband on the 5660M and vice versa. (The AMSS image in Odin tar files)
-Be sure to have your partitions in the appropriate file system format, and CWM to go with it. I'm talking about ext4 and Samsung's stock, and proprietary RFS format.
If you have the usual MUGK3 stock ROM all Canadian 5660Ms have been delivered with, install CWM (via Odin, or with root and the dd command), format to ext4 and install the latest CM9 nightly zip file. Nothing more to it really.

I am not going to use ROM Manager to begin with. as my device is not listed.
I used the recovery to install Clockworkmod (CWM)
Also I noticed that some ROMs are strictly for S5660M Not the GT-S5660M.
If I want to Install a Rom That For the GT-S5660 Does it Matter if it has the "M" in the name of my model? as in GT-S5660M
Also is it possible to flash zip files with odin?
Or has the ROM only have to be in tar format?
One last thing
Well, Before I start flashing (Because I'm pretty close to knowing now)
I am going to post 5 final questions before I begin:
1) Does it matter about my Model code for a ROM?
EX: ROM Made for the S5660 or GT-S5660 And I want to Install it on my GT-S5660M
2) If I Come across the problem I had earlier that caused me to take it to bell to get it fixed, Will the Nandroid Backup & Restore fix it?
3) Is it possible to mess up installing a ROM that the phone is inaccessible to the Recovery & ROM Flasher?
4)If I forget to Factory reset my phone while installing a ROM, can I go back to the recovery and factory reset and reboot?
5)If I Choose to install this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
Can I install it on my GT-S5660M since I have Android 2.3.4?
If I Choose the Other 2 I mentioned:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1659450
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1708383
Does it Matter what version of Android I have?
Once These questions are answered I will begin Installing Custom ROMs onto my GT-S5660M

1 .zip files that you flash via recovery can be flashed easily, thats fine
Just watch out with odin roms like gioprio, they contain a baseband and you will have no service, but can easily be solved by flashing a m model baseband
2 I think not
3 no, unless you do it terribly wrong
Flashed 20+ roms and nothing bricked
4 yes.
Make sure partitions are ext4.. This can be done with ext4formatter zip or installing for example cm7 rom first, than cm9.
Just stay on gingerbread, android 2.3 or higher
2.3.3 or 2.3.4 doesnt make a difference

So you're saying that I should install Cm7 and then CM9?
Would It matter if I choose CM7 or CM7.2?
and you're also saying I should install a ROM that has Android 2.3.X instead of one with Android 4.0.X?
OH! I forgot to ask one last question:
Where can I get a Stock ROM For my GT-S5660M?
Can I get it off my phone or would I have to download it off a website?
Yea I know I may asking a lot of questions, I just want to know how I can install a ROM properly without bricking it.
as for the last 2 ROMs i mentioned earlier, the process is the same eh?
I just need the most information that I can get.
Hi there.
There is a compiled list of all ROMs for the 5660 and 5660m Gio in the development area.
the Stock Rom for 5660M (The GT is nothing to worry about) is this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385874
There are a few other custom roms made only for the 5660M.
You can absolutely use a rom that is s5560, but note:
If you are selecting a Rom that is flashed using odin, always open the .tar using winzip or 7zip and just check for a file called amss ... this is the broadband file which would cause you to lose your phone signal. if you want to use the ROM, remove that amss file.
is you are flashing a rom through clockwordmod, these don't change the broadband.
so you can freely use any of those ones, such as cm7, 7.1, 7.2 9 or other based on stock roms.
Cyanogenmod (cm) requires the internal file system to be ext4, where as most Rom based on stock can use either rfs (stock file system) or some do support ext4 internal for a bit of increased speed.

About this Ext4formatter.zip that voetbalremco mentioned, where can I get it to, would I do this before installing the rom or after installing the ROM?
I know that I need to wipe cache partition, factory reset, and wipe Dalvik cache.
Would I do all of this first or after installation?
Like I said earlier I'm sorry for asking a lot of questions, I just need to most information I can get. lol

Exformatter.zip
You use it before installing, same thing with the wipes.
By the way, this ext4formatter is a one time event.
Once it is done, its done.
The wiping is every time before you install a different rom.

Want to sell my desire but don't want to sell the sdcard however the it won't boot without the sdcard, so what rom will work without sdcard? Running chromium atm thanks

Any gingerbread ROM would work

I still flash using recovery and sdcard tho right? Not fastboot or whatever?
Yes you need to flash a custom rom from sd card, but you can remove it afterwards and see if it still works. Your results will vary depending on the rom.
However I don't recommend selling it with a custom rom unless the buyer knows what they're doing. Also if the rom requires an an sdcard partition and buyer has clue they may blame you. Better to flash stock 2.3.3 RUU and let them root etc if they want to.
Either way, you might as well buy an sd card as they should be very cheap and the phone is useless without it, partition it for them if necessary
Just install the stable CM7.2, delete the superuser and that's it. I think.. )
