[Q] Steps to Install Oxygen

Hi
I'm wanting to put my first custom ROM on my Desire but having trouble putting all the steps together, so far I have rooted it and installed ClockworkMod, made a backup and got S-Off with AplhaRev, but I'm a bit confused but the next steps.
I want to flash Oxygen v2.0 I downloaded the zip and moved to the SD card, but from what I understand I would be wise to first flash the Oxygen HBOOT to get the most app space possible? Now my understanding of this is that it rewrites the partition table, and therefor renders any ROM currently on the phone (in my case the Stock ROM) useless, am I right here?
So assuming the Stock is now useless what order do the next steps have to come in, I have been looking at the Oxygen FAQ does it go something like this:
1) Install Oxygen HBOOT like described in FAQ
2) reboot into ClockworkMod
3) "apply sdcard:update.zip" (having renamed oxygen rom to update.zip)
4) (not sure if reboot necessary, but get back to ClockworkMod) "wipe data/factory reset"
5) "wipe cache partition"
6) reboot to fastboot
7) flash recommended radio like described in FAQ
8) reboot into Oxygen
Is this right or part right? The main parts i was concerned about was flashing HBOOT before Oxygen while the Stock ROM is still on, and the radio after Oxygen?
Thanks for the help.
Scott.

I would do the radio before flashing the rom (don't know if it matters but sounds better to me). In your case also before changing hboot I guess.
Then install hboot according to FAQ.
Boot in recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset and cache.
Flash rom.
Make sure to check the md5 when flashing hboot and don't interrupt the radio flashing. And you are the only one responsible for what happens to your phone, no one else.

Thanks heaps for the reassurance that i was doing the right things in almost the right order. I followed the order you suggested and now Oxygen is running smoothly

First radio or rom doesn't matter...
Much fun anyway! :-D

And it's not 'apply sdcard:update.zip', select 'flash ROM from SD card' or similar

I selected "apply sdcard:update.zip", instead of install zip from SD, and after a few hours I started getting force closes from all the Google apps.
would this have caused that? i have re wiped then re flashed using "install zip from SD card", should this hopefully fix my issues?

[Q]Slightly Urgent - Samsung Galaxy S won't start after Clockwork mod?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S that has been updated to Gingerbread via Kies.
I decided i would try my hand at installing the Cyanogen mod as listed here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
I followed the exact instructions and the Heimdall Suite to install speedmod + clockwork kernel in the link they provided. The phone now just sits on the first boot screen "Galaxy S GT-I9000" and doesn't move. What am i missing here?
How do i place the zip files on the root of the SD card?
Or at the very least how do i just get the phone to work again? Where did i go wrong?
Edit, if i take the battery out and put it back in i can get the phone to start in recovery mode with clockwork, but it still won't boot. it just freezes

If you plug your phone into your PC, is it seen as a storage device? If so, copy the ROM.zip you are trying to flash to your SD and then select Flash zip from SD option in Recovery.
If your PC doesn't see the phone, use an SD card reader or another device to copy the zip to the card. Depending on the ROM you might need to have the gapps zip on there too so that you can flash that at the same time as the ROM.
Edit: From the wiki:
Method via Recovery
1.Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
2.Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
3.Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
4.Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
5.Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
6.Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
7.Select Install zip from sdcard.
8.Select Choose zip from sdcard.
9.Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
10.Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Samsung Galaxy S should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Turns out the wiki link to clockworkmod was out of date. Which was why the phone wasn't booting. reflashed it with the latest kernal for clockworkmod and now everything runs fine!

CWM 5.0.2.7 ignoring ext partition?
Hi everybody. I have installed CWM v5.0.2.7 on my SONIC U8650 smartphone. I'm having a slight problem with this recovery (same occurred with previous version 4.0.1.4). It's not saving the ext partition that I have on the sd card. When I perform a backup through CWM, it skips the saving of sdext as this partition is not being found. Also, with previous CWM version 4.0.1.4, there was an option to manually mount the partition (just in case it is not found at the time of backup) in the "Mounts and storage" option. This option is no longer present in CWM 5.0.2.7 so I can't manually mount the partition (whether this would let CWM recognize the partition and make a proper backup of it). In the end I'm not able to have sdext fully backed up (I resorted at doing a manual backup on my notebook with LINUX with partimage) along with all the other partitions such as /system, /data, /cache etc etc. I therefore wonder if this is a bug and if there's a way to get around this.
I have another smartphone with CWM v5.0.2.3 installed and on this one the backup of the sd-ext partition does work (and it is ext4, not ext3). I wonder if on this 5.0.2.7 version for SONIC, ext3 partitions would be recognized or not.
P.S.: The CWM 5.0.2.7 I installed was taken from here. And this is the installation guide. Is this the same CWM as the one posted here?
EDIT: I have flashed even this version posted here and still the same problem.... it desn't backup my sd-ext partition. It does backup boot_image, recovery_image, system, data, android_secure, cache but not sd-ext (no sd-ext found).

Hi dude:
If you wanna sd-ext on your sd card you must follow (exactly) this easy steps.
1- Full format in FAT32 your SD card with Mini Partition 7 (windows) or gparted (linux); per example: Primary FAT32
2- put your sd card into your phone and get into recovery menu.
---go to "mounts and storage" and format this parts:
---/boot
---/cache
---/data
---/sdcard
---/system
3- Go to the beggining of recovery menu and select:
..."wipe data/factory reset"...(say YES)
..."wipe cache partition"...(say YES)
Go to ...advanced ..."wipe Dalvik Cache"...(say YES)
...go back...
5- Go to...advanced...partition SD card (say 512Mb to ext and64Mb to swap)
...go back...
...go to...mounts & storage... mount USB storage...
... conect the phone via USB and pass your favourite ROM to the cellular
6- select "unmount"
7- Go to "Go Back"
8- Select "install zip from sdcard"... "chose zip from sdcard" and select your ROM
10- Say YES and wait untill your ROm is installed
Congratz, now you have your U8650 with custom ROM and ext partition with swap
P.S. I know the steps are some tedious think but, it works at 110% man

Please help! Huawei u8652 (At&t Fusion)
Am stuck here with an At&t fusion which a friend purchased a not long ago. He set it up with a lock pattern but unfortunately his colleague took it up and tried more than 5times. Now the phone is asking for the gmail account used to set it up. Which he did not change when he got it. I would like you to give a step by step guide to get the cwm on it in other to flash it with custom rom. The menu can't be accessed so I thought your method would be the best.

Sorry for the late reply and many thanks for the tip. I have been using the SONIC so far without the need to restore the system which works fine, so it was not urgent and therefore I kept it as it was, never tried again to overcome the problem. Only a question: does this procedure (different from the one I used) let the system correctly generate the backup of /sdext partition in CWM? Because I don't see why it would work with this procedure and not with my current sdext partition, which I created using gparted on a linux notebook.

Easy as pie, thank you.

I've been having similar problems with creating/saving the partitions. I used a procedure like yours and managed to get the partitions created.
But your write hits it on the head......thanks.

Do a full wife before you install new ROM.
For installation, first, make sure you got your ROM and the correct Gapps on your External SD Card.
After that, enter CWM and:
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)
install ROM (from the external sd)
install Gapps (from the external sd)
reboot your phone
Please, note that every step of this tutorial is mandatory! Credit to Arsradu

select "wipe data / factory reset" i did that but i this line
.
.
.
1." go to "mounts & storage" and format /system."
2. under the same menu, format /sdcard not there.

Hi
I have a Galaxy i9000 with Gingerbread XWJVI
I have CWM recovery 2.5.1.2
ROM Manager 5.5.3.7 (if I select "New start with recovery" it end with ...verification failed...)
If I restart in Manual mode (loud+start+menu)
then problem with...no space left on device.... message after wiping cache, data/factory reset and trying to "apply update from sdcard"
Sorry but I do not know where to find this:
...go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
....under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)
I suppose mnt/sdcard but I do not see any /system and what do you mean with format ?
What am I doing wrong ?
thanks

I cant flash rom

I did not update since i buy. It is 2.3.6 gt8160.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-cyanogemod-13-sergeyl-t3277418 i like this rom, i want to install but i am not sure about steps. I tried a lot of things but now it is staying on a screen in recovery mode.
Fİrstly i need root.
so i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27610432&postcount=31
are there any ways because i couldnot manage with this.. After
3) Switch off the phone and enter to download mode ("Vol Down + Home + Power").
Wait until the driver will be installed and Odin will recognize the phone!
it stays in downlading please dont turn off targe.t
After root, i want to install CWM because i know it from my previous phone. i used it. to install it, i will use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
is it correct? after root , i should do this.
and after those 2 installations, i can flash rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-cyanogemod-13-sergeyl-t3277418
with those steps. RighT?
1. Download CM13 and GAPPS files
2. Copy the zips in the external memory card
3. Boot in CWM or TWRP recovery
4. For CWM: Select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" - "Wipe cache" - "Wipe Dalvik"
5. Choose "Install Zip from external storage"
6. Select CM13 file
7. Choose "Install Zip from external storage"
8. Select GAPPS file
9. Go back to the root of the CWM, and select "reboot system now"
10. Done! First boot takes a while, be patient
11. Ignore message about SD card after CM13 first boot:
Formatting SDcard as internal storage will ruin it (don't format / encrypt)
Please give me suggestions if i am doing wrong.
