Copy a ROM to an SD card, put it in your phone, flash it in recovery.

I do not have any MicroSD cards..
Using a microSD card would be the easiest method to load a ROM; otherwise, you would have to load a ROM onto the internal memory and flash from there.

Just about to root and install a custom rom but have a few questions:
I know how to root by using paul's r6 method, and also how to install a rom but my question is, I have tried searching and cant find an answer:
I want to use A2SD+, have an 8Gb micro sd card installed, which i have backedup on my PC but how to i prepare this for A2SD+?
I also have an old radio, how do i update to the newest radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20? i have downloaded the file but not sure what to do
can anyone help?
cheers and sorry if this has been covered but i couldnt find it
Easy way:
Once you root, install ROM Manager from the Market and tell it to partition your SDCard.
Hard(er) way:
Use ADB. When I tried this I just got errors about it not being able to find the partitioning thing so someone else will have to help with that.
how to use ADB way? isn't this sub-forum wrong to ask these?
should be only for development questions

Great thanks, what about installing the new radio? do it first or root first, custom rom then new radio? what order?
»You go into recovery (start the phone with volume down and power held down)
Then do a nandroid backup, wipe the phone, and choose flash rom and radio. Your rom.zip should be on the root of the sd card. It's worth backing up the sd card too and repartition it into 0 swap; 512mb ext2 and the rest fat32 form recovery if you want to use apps2sd.
So back up sd and phone via windows and titanium backup
then boot into recovery
nandroid
partition
wipe / factory reset
install rom
install latest radio
reboot phone
restore sd card contents & restore via titanium«
ok thanks
so just by rooting it doesnt erase my data? e.g. contacts etc?

Hi guys, sorry for the newbie question but here I go. Just now I decided to flash a new ROM so I do what I normally did before I flash a new ROM (backup my sd card contents and do a nandroid backup). After I done those, I reformat my sd card using my laptop and place the ROM I wanted into the sd card. After I flash the ROM I get stuck in the HTC screen and my backup doesn't work but luckily I manage to revive my Desire. After that I notice that my previous partition that I made using gparted is gone and that's why the ROM didn't work at first. So, am I still able to recover my lost partition from my sd card or they are gone for good?
If you have a working nandroid backup, you can try to recreate your partitions first and restore then.
Windows laptop? The reformat using will have wiped your Ext partition. As said recreate fat32 and Ext using Gparted and restore nandroid (assuming under AmonRa or 4Ext recoveries you included sd-ext) or flash new Rom.

Looks like u didn't perform a full wipe... Via recovery...
Nd by full wipe I mean cleaning cache, dalvik cache, sd-ext, etc...
No need to format the sd card before flashing a new Rom....
help

I did the full wipe via recovery but I reformatted my sd card using my laptop and I think that's the problem since the process wipe out everything including the partitions I made before. And thanks for the answer, greatly appreciate

Yes, a windows laptop and unfortunately it has wiped my previous partition. I did manage to partition it again but I found out that my sd card size is reduced. So does the reformat process wipe out my old partition for good or I still can somehow recover back my lost partition?

Although I'm not an expert in partitioning but I can provide some info about this. Firstly, how you partition your sd card (gparted, rom manager or other methods)? And which partition you made (EXT3/4)?

The ext partition itself is gone, but if you re-partition using Gparted, copy your sd card backup from laptop onto sd card, then providing your nandroid included sd ext backup a restore should get you back to where you were.

Backup your SD card data, reformat the SD card. And restore the data, should work. However, the issue i was having with flashing ROMs was not due to SD card issues, but my actual data partition was corrupt and using CWM i formatted my entire data partition and everything flashed properly then.

HEY i tried re formatting the card but still sometimes it works other times it doesnt flash it makes no sense to me, sometimes i flash an 19505 rom and it works other times the same rom says installation aborted so then i install an 1337m rom and it works and 19505 ddoesnt i honestly am so confused why the hell is cwm doing this? Sometimes it flashes a rom and other times the same rom doesnt flash??? Can you tell me what you formatted from cwm so i can try that too
-_-

Back up your internal SD card and wipe the data partition completely. Youre having the exact same issues i was. its not the recovery, TWRP sucks imo

Unnessasary hate
Lol why you guys hating I got twrp and did what you said and all seems to be good I think twrp is better because in twrp there's a key important feature which is a file manager built in let's you move zips from sd card to internal or vice versa cwm doesn't have that

It has some nice features but for me, the only real functions for recovery are:
1) Wipe data/cache/dalvik and some other mounts.
2) Nandroid backup and restore.
Don't have any other needs, and CWM hasn't given me any troubles in ages, TWRP on the other hand... But if CWM had the file manager, it would make it that much better for me.

flash Philz 5.15.9 the SD card mount function work only on that recovery and you will be able to mount sd card to copy your rom to sd card and don't forget if you want to intsall kit kat after copy your rom to sd card after this you must to flash latest TWRP2.7.1 or latest CWM or latest PHILZ
Hi guys,
this morning i had to the brilliant idea to go from OMNI 4.4.4 LVM into ColorsOs (chinese version) 4.4.4(not lvm..)
i did a complete wipe and COLOROS worked
but since there were few things i didn't like i wanted to re install my Nadroid backup..
so i went in recovery wiped all and re installed nandroid backup but IT FAILED
Basically the things is UNABLE TO MOUNT INTERNAL SD
i can ADB mobile on windows but (if i remove external sd card) not partition is seen
there is a way i can solve? did i just brick my phone? or i can create this internal sd card?? I can go in recovery and use ADB
thanks for you help

LITTLE UPDATE
i USED my nandroid backup and from it i could install just the BIOS .. and i've got back my OMNI ROM but internal partition is only 2,9GB
so how can i get back all normal from this point? like REVERSE LVM or reinstall it ??
or jsut format partition..
thank you all !
Ok.. I solved it... Main problem seemed to be that I went from a lvm rom to a Not LVM... so I used 2 files to revert and recreate lvm.. In the end I've got my rom back to work
