I want to go from Gingerbread to CyanogenMod

Hello,
Since i heard and readed alot about the cyanogenMod, i wanted to flash my phone to this Rom.After folowing a vid on youtube and some research. I found out that i can't flash to cyanogenMod from android 2.3.3. So my question:
How can i do this?
Grtz

I just think you can flash it with CWM, as with other ROMs.

But then there is the risk that my phone bricks? witch dont happen if u use nv flash
and if u use nvflash i get an error, and thats because im on 2.3.4
failed executing command 14 nv error 0x120000

no your phone will not brick when you really need to be unlucky, all people in here is using cwm to flash with, i think nvflash is only if you want to flash stock rom,

In CWM perform a factory reset, and to be sure, format /system /data /cache, wipe Dalvik cache, and finally flash CM7.
That had nothing to do with your installed version of android, be sure to have CWM 5.0.2.0 to have ext4 compatibility.

oke ill try that thank you for ur reactions

after trying to install cyanogenmod i have problims with prompting to test.
i did everything it sayed but he still sayed no batch found. so im not sure everything works fine, so stuck at the kdb devices.
any tips ore other ways? ore good simpler guides ore movies?
cause the nvflash way is so mutch easyer!
Tnx allready

What batch are your talking about? In CWM you choose install a zip, select your zip file of CM7, you confirm and that's it... You do it from the phone don't you? CWM is not an external app on the computer... It's a special partition called recovery that you must flash either through ROM manager if you are rooted or through nvflash if not rooted yet (see trymhansen thread in dev section and forget movies and YouTube stuff...)..

why would you need nvflash? is it the special way to root the device?

Yes, GB is hard to root by classic exploits nvflash Burns directly recovery, and then you flash super user app...

I think your should read a little here too...

well ive do things to mod andoid to make a good usb connection, i saw it in a guide . it sayed if u didnt root yet follow this guide with cwm. so i did something wrong...
i just dont get what root means and how i make a nandroid backup.
thanx for the fast reactions

the problem is the ADB its hard to set up that didnt work out for me and i need it for superoneclick cause when i try this it gets stuck at step 7 it says waiting for device

I finally hot my adb set.. when i try super one click it stops at step 7, and sayed waiting for device.. I really tried every way !

Can close this 1 problem solved, returned to froyo and then to cyanogen.

You don't need flash player to view YouTube videos anywhere. Plus you won't find it on the Play Store while on JB.

You did before JB, but you're right, won't be in the market on JB.
OP - Do you know if it worked before it was handed down to you?
Perhaps a kernel update could fix this. You have Semaphore 2.4 and it's up to 2.6.6 for JB 4.1.2.

sorry for the delay, i was bussy, but now i'm here again jijiji.

again, i dont know a lot about this world, but i try to learn every moment, i could try to reflash my phone if this fix it, but what do you thing???

Semaphore is the kernel you're using. I would read on flashing before getting into it though.
The process is quite simple, you download the kernel (zip), put it on your sd card, go in recovery and flash it.

If you factory reset, you'll need to flash another ROM (or reflash your current one). Keep in mind that by doing this, you'll lose all your apps and data. You can back them up with a app called Titanium Backup. When doing the restore though, only restore apps and data, NO system app.

You'll need Odin one click KK4 with bootloaders, then flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85. From there, you can flash the ROM you want as per their instructions.

succesfull!!!!!!!!!!
i use odin one click and then use the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

Seems like it automatically starts install some rom images.
Try to delete all the rom image or backups (backup your SD first) that you have in your sd.
But first of all try to use QuickBoot app instead the RomManager app.
It's free and you find it in Play store.
Bye

..first check if you have the stock recovery yet like Xonar says..
..second, try to download again the recovery from RomManager's menu (don't know if ics OB is supported) and retry..
If nothing happens..maybe it's better if you flash the stock V20x with the CWM already injected and then install the flashable V30B that you can easily find in the developement section.

You’re welcome
You don’t have to search for stock recovery(probably you never find it )..I think Xonar want to know if you had already installed the Clockworkmod or not..because some time ago there where some problems to inject the CWM in the stock V30B rom.
(if you installed the V30B rom with smartflashtool you surely do not have the recovery and you must pass throught the V20x)
I wish had posted the link of the resources you need but I can’t ‘cause I am a new user too
If wrong something I hope that Xonar can correct me..
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Yea and stock recovery does factory reset when entering it and then just continues booting.

The only stock rom that I could download is the v10a. can I install CM10 from there?

Right, but you must be sure that it has the CWM injected..or you are again at the start point
So when you are in recovery after had flashed v10 with smartflashtool..flash the .zip of V30B...

if the kernel and mods are nothing then what ? xD especially kernel... kernel is everything. you know it could be the kernel also that caused u the problem. go read what kernel is. its the communication between software and hardware.
But ok you havent changed much

[Q] Xperia UI modifications help. [SOLVED]

Hi my name is John.
I had a account here before but it seems my account has been deleted.
when i had that account i had allot of info on how to install mods and such.
Now i have a new mobile Xperia V
I am wondering if some know where i can get a tutorial on how to flash my mobile and get mods in it.
I do not want to make my own mod just so u know so im wondering if there is a tutorial on it and if some knows a nice transparent look or something.
I really would like to get the bottom bar with transparent look and with pulsating lights on the icons like the back home and shortcut icons.
I hope some can tip me on some tutorials atleast but it would be even greater if some can say good UI styles to. I would be so thankful if some can help me. i really don't like the neutral look and lac of options in the stock versions..

- Root your phone
- Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- Install Xposed Installer
- Install Gravitybox and get more UI options you ever thought about
That will also help you to learn more about your device first. Afterwards you can still take your time and look around for some other mods that can be flashed or otherwise installed permanent.

Thanks.

So there's none here can help me ?

connect your phone to PC
enable USB debugging on the phone
unzipp the file attached
click on install.bat and follow the simple instructions
Well you must be using a ROM otherwise you could not root your phone. It is the stock ROM I assume. I hope 4.1.2.

You need a ROM that can be flashed via Recovery in the first place. All ROM developers will tell you in their opening thread about the requirements. Some require flashtool, mostly those that work with unlocked bootloaders. Some require a Recovery, usually those that work with locked bootloaders (these work with unlocked BL, too).

The file u attached is called CWM4XperiaT not CWM4XperiaV
and if you don't believe me that you can root with a FTF file then i can upload it so u can test yourself..
how i did it was used flashmod in flashtool and then sellected the ftf file called LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Nordic.ftf
after that i flashed a kernel with Fastboot called LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf
then i just used the tool root device in flashtool and then i got root..
now my problem is that i dont have any recovery like TWRP or CWM
ive done a new question thread asking for help on how to get it..

Install the CWM attached. Wow. Anyway, up to you.
