[Q] superoneclick root and then custom rom

i have a motorola milestone , just rooted my phone using the superoneclick method and it was smooth , thnx to the video by unlcker
and then i followed theor method to load a custom rom, HER IS MY PROBLEM
...
after opening the rom manager i flashed the clockworkmod recovery , and then as the video says reboot into recovery , i do tht n then ...
A WHITE COLOUR TRIANGLE ON THE SCREEN WITH A YELLOW EXCLAIMATION MARK
plz temme wht do i do nw , i have even copied the custom rom i wanted to load on the sd card so wht to do next .. detail steps will b helpful
and one more thing - in the video they use nexus one so the options in the recovery mode for both cells is different ( i reached her after pressing the volume up and camera button )

When you see the triangle with the exclamation sign, press the volume up and the camera button the same time.
You should see the recovery menu after.

i knw tht , thts wht ive written , i manage to get to tht stage but then after tht wht do i do , cuz the procedure in the video is different
in the recovery menu the options tht come are not the same as the options i got on the milestone , they use google nexus one in the vid

question is hw do i install custom rom nw

sometimes clockwork doens't flash the first time. do it again and see what happens. Otherwise, google for ways to flash using USB.
Some phones are just plain funky. My Droid, for example, simply wouldn't update properly to CM 6.1.2 via ROM Manager. I couldn't install anything using maps because the API wasn't there on the flash and I couldn't move it move it to flash (remounting r/w did work even though mount showed it mounted r/w). I had to reboot into recovery and manually wipe data and cache 3 times and then apply the new ROM.

when it reboots into recovery mode , there isnt ne option to take a back up .. cuz in the video it says first do tht step followed by installin the update zip file then clearing factory settings ..

if cw doesn't flash the first time, just nav to the bottom of the screen in ROM Manager and select "flash alternate" recovery and then re-flash clockwork after you've got a success. The process should take about 3-5 seconds before you get a "success". you may have to do it a few times for it to stick.
also, there is the possibility that you are not *PROPERLY* rooted and that your recovery replacement system is kicking in and causing the recovery to get replaced with the stock recovery.

When you get to the Open Recovery, what does it say on the 1st 3 lines?
From what you're describing, I think the vulnerable recovery sbf isn't installed on your phone.
I had the same issues. Here is what you can do:
- make sure you have the Motorola drivers installed;
- make sure RSDLite is detecting your phone properly;
- at the end of the process RSD should say FINISHED;
- if RSDLite shows a message saying 'Power on the phone', restart the phone back in bootloader mode (this is what worked in my case).
I installed Androidiani OpenRecovery, it's easier this way:

you've got it mixed up ... you perform a backup, then do a "factory reset" then flash the update.
backup is under "nandroid" in CW recovery. Just click "nandroid" then "backup". It will take a few minutes at least.
the BEST method of installing a ROM is to (after you've performed a backup) go to "partitions" then format /system, /data and /cache a FEW times each. then back out using the power button to the main menu. click "advanced" and click "wipe dalvik cache". then install your ROM from the sdcard.
that will get you the most reliable results.

aaaah you have a milestone, not a Droid. my bad -- i just saw you talking about ROM Manager and saw the posts on clockwork and went into auto-pilot. yeah s0ulreaver is right -- you need openrecovery, not clockwork, for the milestone.
and that is flashed most reliably using the SBF method.

ull need to remember ive rooted my phone using superoneclick method
in the rom manager i flashed clockworkmod recovery
then it says successfully downloaded clockworkmod recovery!
then then i reboot into recovery
i get 4 options
1. reboot system now
2. apply sd card : update.zip
3. wipedata/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command ( i get this also written )
in the vid it says take a backup , but i dnt c ne option of taking the backup .. ???

Since you're on the milestone, not the Droid, you can't use rom manager to flash clockwork recovery. As you have just found out, it doesn't work with the milestone. You need to flash OpenRecovery via sbf to get a custom recovery so you can backup and flash a custom rom.

This has nothing to do with rooting your phone.

you don't need rsd to root your phone (obviously since you're already rooted), but you do need it to flash openrecovery, which is the recovery you need to make a backup and flash a custom ROM.

k then can u gimme in steps how do i do tht , plz

gladly follow this thread: [How-to] OpenRecovery,Root,Nandroid & other features
(--thanks to s0ulreaver for the link posted earlier in this thread--)
Start at the first how-to section in RED that reads: "How to enter the G.O.T. or the Androidiani OpenRecovery Menu"
Follow the instructions through Step 3 (flashing the openrecovery zip file).
*Any issues following that how-to should be posted in THAT thread.
hope that will do it for you

k after flashing the open recovery then whts the next step , suppose i wanna load a custom rom from cyanogen mod .. how do i do tht ?
cuz basically i need 2.2 on my cell

It depends for each rom. Read the instructions that come with it.
Some are flashed as 'updates' (e.g. Cronos), some come as an Androiniani backup (most that I've seen).
Read the instructions. Most of the time you must copy the rom on the SD card in a specific folder \mnt\sd\androidiani\backup\ etc. then go in OpenRecovery, Androidiani menu and Restore from there.
I could get into a tons of details and specifics, reading and following the rom's instructions is the solution.

[Q] cant boot CWM

i installed gingerxperia that doesent work stuck on bootanimation. but when im going to install gingerdx im trying to boot up clockworkmod but i pressed back button and then it stucks on SE logo. anyone knows!?

U should do a full wipe and factory reset. Go to advanced, and do a battery stat wipe and a dalvik cache wipe. If it doesn't works, then u bricked your phone. Read a thread about unbrick the X8. Here's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
Press THANKS if i helped
magyarlovag

m
i unbricked my phone with PCC. im back to 2.1 but. thanks anyways...

Don't Give Up
It has happened to me, just flash the x15 Basebands needed for custom Roms, without the x15 Baseband, a custom rom will just make your phone bootloop.
Use latest Flashtool.
Hope that helps.
(If you are unsure which X8 you have, just remove the battery and look at the sticker beneath it. In any case, if you flash the wrong one you will just lose 3G until you flash the right one, so no worries)

[Q] Infinite boot. Cant access recovery mode and reset any settings!

Ok so here is what happened: I tried updating my Samsung galaxy s version 4.2.2 jellybean, semaphore custom rom version 9 to the next version. The update was successful only that it produced an error after completion saying the process "android.process.acore" has stopped. So i had to resort to the previous version through recovery mode. However after the the applications were calibrated and the phone was supposed to start, it did not! The boot animation kept on going. So i thought of restoring my phone to the back up that i had created when i was using ICS 4.0.4 however to my greatest misfortune i did not realize that i had deleted the zip file of the ICS version. Now my phone upon power on only displays the picture of the kernel version of the back up version of ICS. I cannot access recovery mode. I tried hard reset as well as described in one of the links but in vain! The download mode works fine. Is there anyway i can make my phone work? Please Help!!

if u can boot into download mode, then u should be fine, so dont worry, if u know how to flash thru odin then its easy way to retrieve back ur fone, if u dont, read here, all da file n tutorial already been given
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
n make sure u read carefully n follow carefully. n if u success, dont jump direct to 4.2 from firmware, flash, 4.0 first, twice, n then flash 4.1/4.2, da safest method, no need to repartition or format ur internalsd.
but, really, i always say this here, flas at ur OWN RISK

Re-installing OS -- Help Needed

Hello,
I am on latest stock firmware, and want to completely erase my phone and install a fresh copy of latest OS.
Now, I am not at all feeling comfortable in flashing myself as I am having limited knowledge and I fear I will end up screwing phone.
If I visit Samsung service center, they just reset the phone... when told to install fresh copy of OS.
So, what to tell them so they understand that I want all old OS related things to be deleted and install a fresh copy of OS. Also what I have to see to make sure they are indeed doing what I am saying... what will screen display ?
Sum pointers plz.

Pointers:
1. Install a philz kernel.
2. Wipe all the partitions after that.
3. Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com or Dr Ketans thread from XDA (this thread also has instructions/how-to for how to flash using odin)
4. Use odin to flash stock rom in download mode.
Before you proceed and make any mistake read about all the above and understand the risk associated.

LOL. ok ill try not to laugh
goto settings about phone. check your version ... there may not be a update.
restart your phone "hold volume up and the menu button" when u get to factory recovery. use the "wipe/factory reset" that is as close as your going to get, (without using a custom rom). once done. u can goto the same "settings / about phone" and check "software update". if there is an update, you can download and apply it from there.
also check you have enough battery life before doing this.

Cant I just go to settings and under backuo & reset --> factory data reset.
Is the this the same as the method u suggested above ?

First of all make sure wat u want to do, if updated stock firmware is wat u want then reset your phone and then update it if there is any.. this is the safe mode.
Now the other option u got is root it, install cmw, install kernel, n lastly custom ROM it will allow you to change CPU frequency and much more.. choose any custom ROM its olwAys better in the most criterias. But if you wanna stick to the stock ROM. . Just reset it.

yes, almost the same, except. none of the files will be in use. if you use the restart method.
actually i think if you do the FACTORY reset from the phone while its booted. it will just restart and do the same "recovery" method? right?
sorry been a while since i did booted WIPE.
@ sushantp606
judging from the responses and stuff here. I am thinking this user is not at the stage to consider the stuff you posted, they are only after a basic wipe and update of the rom.

The problem is everybody always speak abt wipe... I don't wana wipe, I wana install fresh clean copy of latest official OS.

What Do you mean by "keeps restarting" Bro, Is it stuck on the bootanimation?

If your phone doesn't get pass boot animation and reboots, then there's only one way to fix it. Your personal files and data would be gone but I'm sure it's backed up with your google account. Watch this and follow the instructions. Installing a stock firmware using ODIN. Hope it helped

Are you currently using a stock rom or a custom rom? Anyway you can solve this problem by just flashing back the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode (hold power+ Home button) and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace. Just flash them from the recovery mode (choose "install zip from sdcard" and then select the zip file from sdcard).

The Apocalypse you are referring to is the custom rom that is installed in your phone. When you bought you phone, you had Samsung's version of Froyo/ Gingerbread installed in your phone. That rom is called stock rom. Custom roms are build by developers using cyanogen mod sources. Now you keep having restarts and since clearing data and cache from CWM didn't solve it, I suggest you install another rom. Now this is where you have to make a choice. You can either install a stock rom (stable, nice battery backup, etc) or a custom rom (fast, performance oriented, customizable, etc). Before you do install another rom, backup all app data using Titanium Backup. If you choose Stock rom, then follow my previous post on how to install stock rom on your phone. Now if you choose custom rom, then first we need to update CWM 4 to CWM 5.
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Download the CWM 5 zip file to SD Card and reboot your phone to recovery mode (Power off then hold Home+ Power button). Now choose "Install zip from SD Card" and choose the zip file. Done! You have successfully installed CWM 5. Now time for you to install a new custom rom. Refer the following guide for all the custom roms for our device,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
For time being use any Gingerbread roms. Download it to SD Card and then reboot to recovery mode. Now choose Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache, Wipe battery stats, Mounts & Storage> Format /system. Now select "Install zip from SD Card" and choose your rom zip file. Reboot and you can use your new rom. Whenever you want to install any new custom rom, just follow the same procedure. Now as for the low internal memory problem, we might have a solution. But the catch is it requires a rom with init.d support (something all custom roms have and stock roms doesn't ) and an ext partition on SD Card. First backup all the SD Card data. Now go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod zip from CWM. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT

Wrong section mates!!
First of all, read the forum rules in order to post your questions correctly...
There's a great Q&A Thread please use it to ask for help, this the General Thread, we must all contribute to maintaining our forum in order.
Next time, post it in the correct section, thank you for understanding it
Follow @mahithm instructions to flash a fresh STOCK rom and the next tine DON'T USE CWM 4x, it's outdated, there are several recovery systems based on CWM 5x, they're the most stable for a daily usage and they're required to flash most of the custom roms
