Hi,
It's probably many people who have been asking the same thing, sorry if it's already a thread out there.
But I'm totally new to this. I now want to root my phone and use a custom ROM and maybe a other kernal too, whatever kernal is for
Which ROM is the best out there? And I have no idea of how to root my phone and install a custom ROM, maybe some advices?
Thanks.
/Sorry if I don't have the best english
If you want to root your phone and you're on Froyo (Android 2.2) use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
If you're on Gingerbread (Android 2.3) , you can use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
You can flash custom ROMs by installing them in ClockworkMod Recovery mode. This is a special menu which allows you to flash custom ROMs and kernels and make backups of your rom.
You can enter recovery mode with either:
1. ROM Manager, select reboot into recovery.
2. While phone is on, press power button and then select reboot and then recovery. (Basically the same as 1)
3. While phone is off, boot with holding the power button and volume down button until the second lg logo with the blueish background appears.
Flashing: (In recovery mode)
1. Make a backup (Titanium Backup or NANDroid)
2. Wipe Everything
Wipe data/factory reset (this won't erase your root)
Wipe cache
Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache.
Wipe Battery Stats
3. Go to install zip from sdcard. (you have to put the rom you wish to install on the sd card)
4. Again install zip from sdcard (install Google apps, can be found in the CyanogenMod wiki) (same way as installing rom)
5. (optional) install zip from sd card and flash kernel. (same way as installing rom)
6. Done, reboot phone.
The best rom is just a matter of taste actually. It just depends on what you want, some prefer CyanogenMod and others just want an improved stock rom. So all you gotta do is read and make up your own mind. Also when you flash a kernel you have to make sure that the kernel in question is compatible with your rom, because there are many kernels in the dev section and they all work either with stock-based ROMs (Horsepower Kernel) or custom ROMs (Ironkernel, Vadonkas KANG kernel).
My opinion is to use the combination:

Nvm, I misread it It was in the recovery mode.
I got a problem now, I have installed the custom RM and kernel, but the problem now is that I can't connect the phone to the computer via USB to put files in my phone. Do I need some new drivers or something?
Edit: When I try to use the camera it just wsays that I need to use my SD card. It might be something else that wrong, just with the SD card?
Edit2: it seems that I can only get acces to the SD card from the computer by the recovery mode?
try to shut down the device and boot instead of rebooting(if you did that) some sdcards have problems with a reboot and do not get recognized.

Are u talking about the internal sd or a external sd? For use the internal sd (the data partition of the device's memory) there is an option in the settings. I don't remember now I'm using a Miui based rom. For the usb connection u must have the driver of the device, u can take it in the lg web site

I actually meant the internal, cuz I don't have a external card. Where can I find that setting? It's so many settings so I get confuesed when I try to look for other settings All program that seems to need the internal SD card seems to say it, the camera, ROM manager and other apps.
And I have a sall problem with spotify, it won't start at all. Is this normal with this ROM?
i have a question, if lets say i flashed cyanogen mod 7.1 stable on my lg optimus 2x and i want to flash, for example temasek kang cyanogen mod, can i just download the .zip files and copy it over to the phone and flash. is there such thing as downgrading in android like in symbian, im also a newbie, also another question, the rom files or .zip in clockworkmod on internal storage, can they be deleted after flashing the files on the phone

1. Yep, just copy it to your phone, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card.
2. Downgrading is possible, make sure to wipe.
3. After flashing you can safely remove the zip file from your phone
thx for the quick reply, could you elaborate more on the part of downgrading, does that mean i cant just simply flash another rom
also on the first page you recommended CM7.2 Temasek KANG rom and Vadonkas KANG kernel, how do you install that, do i just flash the cm 7.2 temasek kang rom, or do i have to flash the kernel, and which one comes first
also what is the kernel for, as i noticed when i flashed cyanogen mod 7.1 stable, the kernel was automatically changed

Downgrading
You flash the rom you want over the one you have right now, just wipe everything. (you can always restore it later with a backup) For example when you have a CM KANG an you want to go back to a nightly just flash it over the KANG.
First you flash the KANG rom and then you flash the kernel. If you do it the other way around you erase the kernel flash because as you know every rom comes with a standard kernel. (More information, look at my first post in this thread)
The main goal of flashing a custom kernel is increasing the performance and have the ability to overclock and to undervolt. The standard kernel which comes with CM stable doesn't allow you to overclock your CPU to for example 1.5Ghz. Standard kernel only clocks to 1Ghz.
Simple question: If I root my phone when it's on "stock' (i.e. as it comes out the box when it turns up soon), and then upgrade to the LG Official latest release via their website.. will I have to root the phone again?

1:
Google "SuperOneClick" - http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2.
Set your phone to "development mode", or whatever it is in english, under your program settings and plug it into your PC with the program running.
It should be as simple as clicking "Root" with the newest version of the program.
2:
Download "Rom Manager" from the market and install "ClockWorkMod" through that program.
3 - preparation:
- Turn off your phone and hold down the "Volume Down" button + the "Power" button untill you see the LG logo shift into, what resembles a loading screen.
- In ClockWorkMod, you navigate up and down with the volume buttons and the power button selects an option.
- Go to "Backup and Restore" and back up your system. This is a so-called Nandroid backup.
- plug your P990 into your PC and copy that backup file. It's most likely on your external SD-Card.
_____________________________________________
- Find a suitable ROM, I use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
At the bottom of the fist post, you can find download links.
The Google Apps: http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#5xfvkc2nlfk5v
You need that file to install the marketplace. It'll be called something in the vein of "gapps-gb-20111214-237-signed".
The ROM itself: http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#3edh9d36u710w
The file will have a name in the vein of "cm7kang-O2x-P204-38"
_____________________________________________
4:
Now that you have your ROM/Google Apps (GAAPS) and a backup file, you're ready to get started.
Copy the ROM and GAAPS ZIP files to your SD-card. Then turn it off and enter ClockWorkMod by way of "Volume Down/Power" buttons.
5:
Back in ClockWorkMod, navigate to "install zip from sdcard" ---> "choose zip from sdcard/choose zip from internal sd card" and make sure you can find your files before proceeding.
6:
- Assuming everything is ok, choose "wipe data/factory reset" in the main menu of ClockWorkMod.
-Once done, choose "install zip from sdcard" and install your ROM.
-repeat the process for the Google Apps file.
Once done, choose "wipe cache partition" in the main menu along with "wipe dalvik cache" under the "advanced" option.
After that, choose to turn off the phone and turn it on to boot your new ROM for the first time.
Prepare to troubleshoot a bunch, you're probably used to a bunch of stuff that are'nt to be taken for granted
Feel free to ask me questions and criticism is welcome, considering this is just a short guide; and my rooting experiences started this saturday.
I've got an i9000, and I've followed the instructions on the site..
Enter CWN
Wipe data
Format /system
Then mounted /system.
Then install the zip and get this error:
"E:Error in /sdcard/Slim-I9000-2.8.0-OFFICIAL.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"Installation aborted."
"Can't mount /emmc/"
I took out my removable sdcard before doing the install so that accounts for the last message.
I had this problem with 2.7 as well.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Someone wrote something about installing 2.6 first after doing the data wipe and system format since it reconfigures the directory structure. Not sure if this is true. Any help?
i've got the same problem. i mounted system,SD data but i received the error status 7 and an error on file install.sh. now i search possibile solutions

I did have luck installing the SlimBean 2.6.0 zip file first, then the gapps.zip. Then upgraded to 2.7.0 doing a cache and dalvik cache wipe. No problems... but still can't seem to get 2.8.0 to work. Though 2.7.0 works quite nicely it seems.
I think there's an update app that is supposed to let you do it from the phone itself, but I'm not sure if that's working properly yet.
yes, i have no problems on old version. Now i'm writing through my galaxy s with cyanogenmod 10 and i want to try again slim ROM.
Had the same problem, it was working with 2.7 just fine, tried to update to 2.8 and it didn't work, read there that updating semaphore kernel would work.
Installed semaphore kernel 2.4.4s (via heimdall) and got bootloop.
Tried to flash stock (xxjvu) via heimdall; everything went smoot but
100%
PARAM upload successful
Ending session...

phone never booted, now I can't get to download or recovery mode, phone just stays off, no lights, nothing, I think is bricked.
Just ordered a usb jig via amazon LOL
If you came from another rom then slim 2.6 or 2.7 you have to flash 3 times

i flashed again the slim bean 2.8.0 for my i9000. I come back from cm10 thus i did wipe data/factory and format system. I mounted the system partition but i have got the same story. Error status 7......problem with install.sh and all aborted.
Is this a problem with the partition layout of cm10 after the cm nightly available from 26 september?
How can i install the slim bean 2.8.0 on my galaxy s?
edit: i can't install slim 2.8.0

How to install Slim 2.8
Yes! that error is a normal step of the installation!
When you install the zip of 2.8, you get the error. Then install it again and you will reboot. Power off your phone and restart CWM, then install again the zip! after this, you can install the extras!
If you are coming from any rom apart from slim bean 2.6 and 2.7 you will need to flash it 3 times although I think the advice is to flash 2.6 and then flash 2.8 rather than flashing 2.8 directly. I am currently on 2.5 and I'll updated to 2.8 on saturday but will do it step by step 2.6 > 2.8.

What's not clear to me is when they say flash 3 times, do they mean just try installing the 2.8.0 zip 3 times? Or do a wipe cache/dalvik cache between each try? Or reboot between tries?
I've got 2.7.0 running fine but it gives me an error on the 2.8.0 flash even if I try 5 times, and that's trying both with and without cache wipes between attempts.
I went from CM10 to slim bean 2.8. All I did was factory reset, wipe + cache and dalvik cache (I didn't mount system or anything like that).
ROM installed normally, no errors and no reboots. Been using it fine for the last few hours now.

I solved the issue in this way. we assume that it is correct to try mountind the system partition but if the error continues then it isn't the solution!
The slim bean team, cunningly, modified the file "Slim-I9000-2.8.0-OFFICIAL.zip"! they changed at 2012-10-25 00:07:28 thus, all those who download the file yesterday, they have the error status 7 etc...
You redownload the slim rom and then to follow the standard procedure:
- enter in recovery
- wipe data/factory
- format system (in mount and storage menu)
- install zip from sd (or external) card
- install slim gapps
- install optional gapps
- enjoy

You are correct. Just re-downloaded the 2.8.0 zip, SREC update and Gapps update files and everything installed nicely over 2.7.0 with just a cache/dalvik cache wipe.
Nice!
very good. i like very much this ROM. fast and with many RAM.392 mb ! it already includes the semaphore kernel 2.4.4s.excellent.

Restore the backup you made in step 2, install newest official CWM via ROM Manager (download it from play store if you don't already have it) then boot back into CWM and install CM again.
---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Also I honestly don't see any real benefit to this thread when installing official CWM solves the status 7 issue and allows for OTA updating of CM instead of having to wait for the OP of this thread to upload a fix every single day...

I was afraid you were gonna say that! You can still boot into CWM though right? If you can, and your computer has an SD slot, just take out your external SD card and put it into an adapter and put the fixed version from this thread on that, then you can just install it from the external SD in CWM.

from CWM you can install via sideload ...
or harder way- reflash stock, root it, download rom manager, install newest cwm via it, copy files, flash in recovery

Hi all,
First I must point out I'm a bit of a noob at this flashing kernels/roms etc. I want to install Jelly Bean Mini Project | Android 4.1.2 on my xperia x8.
I rooted it ages ago with superoneclick. I got the rom here in the download section of this post and got the kernel here. Not sure how to proceed do i unzip the rom folder called "X8_JBMP-Release4"? I need a tutorial on what programs to use etc. step by step would be handy. I did look did look am continuing to look. Thanks in advance and sorry.
first of all you have installed nAa's jb kernel right?
---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
if not, download Flashtool from here
then do the following steps
1. go here and find the "Flashing custom kernel" step
2. Flash the kernel, beforehand, be sure to have the proper drivers installed, go to the flashtool directory, drivers, execute the .exe file then choose drivers for x8, fastboot and flashmode
3. You are ready to flash a kernel, just follow the instructions on the thread I pointed out to you
4. No need to unzip the ROM file as it is a flashable zip, after flashing the kernel power up your device and click the back button a couple of times
5. You are now in the CWM recovery, go to mounts and storage and select: format /system, /data, /cache and then back to the CWM main menu, select Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition, and to the advanced option, wipe dalvik cache
6. Now you have just performed a full wipe, go to install zip from sd card, find the ROM zip file you just downloaded and install it
7. Then install the GAPPS needed to work with JBMP

Bootloader is unlocked sorry didn't mention. Titanium back up installed but not sure if that is the backup you are asking about.

titanium backup is good. :thumbup: you can also enter cwm and make a backup there. otherwise, follow mass's instructions. don't forget to format system cache data in cwm after flashing kernel and before flashing rom. have fun with jb. :thumbup:

first of all you have installed nAa's jb kernel right?

if not, download Flashtool from here
then do the following steps
1. go here and find the "Flashing custom kernel" step
2. Flash the kernel, beforehand, be sure to have the proper drivers installed, go to the flashtool directory, drivers, execute the .exe file then choose drivers for x8, fastboot and flashmode
3. You are ready to flash a kernel, just follow the instructions on the thread I pointed out to you
4. No need to unzip the ROM file as it is a flashable zip, after flashing the kernel power up your device and click the back button a couple of times
5. You are now in the CWM recovery, go to mounts and storage and select: format /system, /data, /cache and then back to the CWM main menu, select Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition, and to the advanced option, wipe dalvik cache
6. Now you have just performed a full wipe, go to install zip from sd card, find the ROM zip file you just downloaded and install it
7. Then install the GAPPS needed to work with JBMP

one more noob question
I was wondering about unlocking this phone from the network it is on. Should I get the code and do it first of will I still be able to do it if I wish after the upgrade. Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks for all the other help I have an idea of what to do now.
Sucess!!
Thanks a million guys got it up and running jellybean. First flash of kernel was just sticking on CWM recovery screen no buttons working. flashed back to a stock 2.1 (rom not my original one) and flashed the new kernel again and all went fine. Thank you so much for all this help and thanks to the folks who worked in the release of jellybean. I just need to figure out how to store apps on sd card. time for research.
Option to move apps to sd card is Greyed out in settings/apps section. Any ideas how i might get my apps to move to sd card?
U can odex to get more space..find it in android development, made by TeamMex..

maybe the ROM is missing the 10apps2sd module in the init.d...
you can download App managers from the play store

Looking around on web it seems apps cant be moved after 4.0. Don't know why google did that it was one of the features I most wanted. I guess I could go to something earlier but I like jelly bean :crying:

try a clean flash. i'm on 4.1 and i cam move apps fine. though i don't use the native app2sd.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Will a reflash do it? do I need to flash back to a stock rom first? Or is there something I need to do to let a2sd work like give it a partition somehow?

just format system cache amd data after a full wipe (wipe cache amd dalvik too) and reflash rom.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Thanks for the reply. I will try it in a couple of days as I'm busy with work and will post back here with the result.
moving apps
I booted into CWM recovery and used the advanced section to create a 1gb partition left swap size setting at 0 and that fixed the issue. I guess if I wasnt a noob I would have made a partition on the card in the beginning. Apps can now be moved except those that dont allow movement but I am using link2sd for those. Its cool to see jellybean on this phone. I get quite a few hangs/crashes using the browser, bluetooth earpiece connects fine but I cant hear calls on it and the countdown timer is erratic closing by itself quite often. Maybe there are some settings I need to tweak to get the best performance? Thanks again for all the help and replies by the way.
Hello
I have the problem that I cannot update my i9000 from CyanogenMod 10.1.3 to 10.2.0. After the update, Cyanogenmod doesn’t start anymore. It gets stuck at the boot animation: The blue CyanogenMod-mascot within the round rotating arrow. I waited 15min for it to start, then I left the phone for 2h and it still didn’t start.
I did the update as follows:
First, I tried to update with the automatic updater from CyanogenMod, but that didn’t work. It aborted and restarted CyanogenMod 10.1.3.
So I tried it manually with ClockworkMod (v6.0.3.6):
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
This message was shown: E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik cache wiped.
- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip
It aborted and the following message was shown:
This ROM uses an incompatible partition layout
Your /data will be wiped upon installation
Run this update.zip again to confirm install
- Did it again: install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-RC1-galaxysmtd.zip
Now the zip-file was installed completely.
- reboot system now
The result was that the phone got stuck at the boot animation.
Remarks:
- I didn’t do a backup of apps and data, because I didn’t have important data on the phone.
- I didn’t have root-rights in CM 10.1.3.
I tried it again with the stable version of CM 10.2.0. I didn’t have to install the zip twice anymore, but the phone still gets stuck at the boot animation. Wiping cache and dalvik cache again didn’t make it start.
I can still boot into ClockworkMod and it was also possible to go back to CM 10.1.3. Just CM 10.2 doesn’t start up.
What do I have to do to make CM 10.2 start up?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards

@Tomy_Delmar
Tomy, CyanogenMod is already custom ROM, there is always root access on it
Try it this way:
download Gapps for CM10.2x (Android 4.3.x) and paste them on your external SD card
put the card in your phone
run it in recovery mode
wipe cache and dalvik cache
flash Gapps for 4.3
wipe again cache and dalvik cache.
reboot
Post if it worked.

As the partition layout is different in cm10.2, you should flash it at least 2 times and wait for system to be stable for about 15-20 minutes
Tetakpatak and Rohitdahiya, thanks for the reply and advice!
In my previous post, I forgot to mention that I installed CyanogenMod without the Gapps. I’d like to try if an android-phone without the Gapps is still useful. Somehow I don’t like the data-collecting-mania of Google.
I tried again the update from CM 10.1.3 to 10.2:
- I downloaded cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip again and copied it to the internal SD-card of the phone.
- Restarted the phone into ClockworkMod recovery.
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
- install zip -> choose zip from sdcard -> cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
(Did it twice. Don’t know if necessary.)
Didn’t install Gapps.
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- reboot system now
Unfortunately CM still gets stuck at the boot animation. The arrow has been rotating for over an hour now.
To my knowledge the Gapps are not mandatorily required to install CM. I could install CM 10.1.3 without the Gapps without any problems.
Could a full-wipe solve my problem?
ClockworkMod -> mounts and storage -> format /system …?
I have never done this before.
Or is there something else I can do?
Regards
Tomy

First of all, don't forget to quote the user whom you want to contact, because he don't get any notification until you quote. I was just checking around the questions and thus I saw this.
Sometimes, there is requirement of g-apps for the core system to be working ( Not sure in case of cm10.2). Try with g-apps (you may choose light package).
In my opinion, it should work. If not, try from the start ( flashing gingerbread with Odin with repartition ticked, then its root and finally cm10.2 from recovery)
Also make sure your handset is i9000 and you are using cm10.2 for the same.
And finally, All the best
CM doesn't neccesarily need Gapps to boot up. In fact most custom roms don't - they are still usable, just that everything Google-related doesn't work.
Its a bit odd seeing as how you've pretty much done what I would have done if I was installing CM to a Galaxy S. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work.
As far as I know as well, formatting /system is more of a last-resort method, not something you'd immediately do.
However, I had a similar problem installing a rom onto my tablet - different device, I know, but try this anyway and see if you get anywhere:
1.) Go back into recovery if its still bootlooping
2.) Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (and this is after you've flashed the CM10.2 zip twice like you did)
3.) Reboot device without flashing Gapps - this is to see if it boots up.
Let us know what happens.

Tomy, now it is getting clear- of course, I tought you already had Gapps on your CM10.1.3 installed so in such case they would definitely need to be updated to 4.3
Yes, the ROM shouold work perfectly fine also without Gapps
Your workflow sounds correct, but just to make sure: after first attempt to flash CM10.2 build, there should be a warning that all your data will be wiped, right? After that you must again choose the option "install zip" and install CM10.2. It will work this time.
If it doesn't work, download again the CM10.2 zip as it may be corrupted file. BTW, I didn't like that build for several reasons and returned to RC version.
If nothing helps, flash back your CM10.1.3 and restore your nandroid backup if important files were there. If the downgrade won't work for different partition of the /system, use my unbricking guide and revert to stock, then to CM10.1.3, then to CM10.2.
Keep step by step on the guide if you use it, it has important points to control before flashing. Flashing with re-partition needs always a PIT file, or with other words: without that file re-partition option mustn't be checked. Doing it simply by clicking the re-partition (like @Rohitdahiya adviced you to) without a PIT file checked under "PIT" would brick your i9000.

When I tried to flash CM 10.2 the first time – at that time RC1 was the newest version – I was asked to flash it a second time, which I did. To be precise, the following message was shown:
This ROM uses an incompatible partition layout
You /data will be wiped upon installation
Run this update.zip again to confirm install
This message hasn’t been shown again since then. I flashed CM 10.1.3 again and tried to flash 10.2 a second time, but the message wasn’t shown again.
Going back to CM 10.1.3 worked without any problem.
------------------------------------------
Now I have CM 10.2 on my phone and it starts normally
I flashed Stock-Android 2.3.6 with Odin (v1.82). Tetakpatak, thank you for the excellent guide and the video! As written in the guide, I used "s1_odin_20100512.pit" as PIT-file.
(I executed Odin on an old computer with Windows XP 32bit, as the guide says Odin 1.82 works better with Win XP.)
Then I installed CM 10.2 over Stock-Android 2.3.6. I followed the official instructions:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd?setlang=en
(I executed Heimdall on my new computer with Windows 7. Heimdall 1.4RC2 doesn’t work on Win XP. If one executes Odin and Heimdall on the same PC, I could imagine this could lead to confusion, because Odin needs the Samsung-USB-drivers and Heimdall needs WinUSB. I’m not sure if this really leads to problems. But one should keep that in mind.)
I didn’t flash CM 10.1.3 before 10.2, because I didn’t need to restore a nandroid backup previously made with CM 10.1.3. There were no important data on the phone.
Many thanks to all who gave me advice and helped my solving the problem!

HELP MEEE
I put on TWRP 2.6.3.0 on my Nexus 5 (I used towerlroot succesfully) and i tried wiping as you should, i noticed i loaded an old twrp so i quickly powerd off my Nexus5. When i loaded, every app had a "Google play services has stopped" error and some would force close. I reloaded TWRP and tried to flash cyanogenmod and gapps, succelfully they installed. Now cyanogenmod is stuck in the boot animation and i dont know to update TWRP, HELPP PLEASSE!!!!

This is the forum for the original Galaxy S, not the Nexus 5, sorry mate
However I think your problem can be fixed by doing a full data/cache wipe so it might be worth a shot
Flash Boot.Img. This might solve the bootloop!
I think, You just need to flash the boot.img (available in the Cynogen Bundle Zip Folder) after installing Cynogen Mod. Me too got stuck on the animation part for a long time. Then I found out this:
CyanogenMod builds for endeavoru currently do NOT support any bootloader version number below: HBOOT 1.28. As the device is S-ON (security-on bootloader), for a working installation you must extract the boot.img from the installer zip and run fastboot flash boot boot.img from fastboot mode.
