How to install CyanogenMod over GOT

Hello,
i have GOT 2.2, and now i want to install teh latest Cyanogenmod.
However i dont know were to include "update-0.04-10.12.08-cm-6.1.0-Milestone-signed.zip".
In my sd card i have 2 folders:
OpenRecovery
OpenRecovery-CFG
Should i put somewhere inthere the files downloaded?
Or should i delete them, and download another Open Recovery?
Thank you so much for the help!

here => Openrecovery\updates
Then in the OR you have to choose the option apply update.zip
/Edit: did u flash the 2.2.1 kernel first or is this already included in this zip?

kernel is included in the zip
(i update to CM6 from 2.1)
but you can flash 2.2.1 got if you want (i don't know why you should do this, but you can ^^)

When you say flash you mean sbf? Yes I used sbf and then used the update zip and GOT open recovery.
Thus now I should not delete any folder and just copy the new zip file in updates? There are some other files in there, should I delete them?
And then just apply the update zip through the known way when stating phone? And will see there the updates and choose cynam.

Anyone please?
As i got really confused!
If i just delete the whole two folders and start from scratch would it be ok?
Or does the system need the Open Recovery Folders?

you can put the zip file into the folder"/OpenRecovery/updates"
then reboot your phone to recovery,choose "update.zip"
after that you can choose "update",find "update-0.04-10.12.08-cm-6.1.0-Milestone-signed.zip"
apply,then reboot.over

OK thanks when i apply the update this comes up:
Reboot System
Console
--- Stock Features---
Nandroid
Root Phone
---GOT Modding Menu---
Launch 2,1 Menu
Launch 2.2.1 Menu
Launch CM6 menu
---- Stock GOT Features Menu---
Miscellaneous
USB Mas Storage mode
Settings Menu
Wipe & Cleaning Menu
Open Recovery loader

ok found it it was in another menu!

So i suppose the same would happen for other ROMs as well?
For example MIUI?

MIUI is the same,but not every rom.
you should watch the notice carefully

and before and after your updating,
wipe is very important.
or mabe you can't pass the M picture

Well, with this Rom, I can't connect to google services.
Gmail is not in my applications and also I can't install it... market cannot load... when I press add account, it just goes to desktop...
Any ideas about what shall I do? Now I have nil contacts...

Messed up phone after trying to flash

I downloaded cog from rom manager than tried to install it. I remember from flashing rom on my other phone that I had to select reinstall packages a few times. Nothing really changed. I rebooted then went back to rom manager and clicked install rom from sd (not sure if that's exaclty how its worded) I saw the rom but backed out. I booted back into recovery and selected format sd, I'm guessing I shouldn't have done that, now I'm getting a signature error in cwm, also when I select download rom from sd in rom manager I no longer see my download folder. Help please, not sure if any of this make sence.

A little hard to follow, but I would just flash back to stock and go and download CM and place it on your root sd card and just flash through CWM.

I am stock, nothing flashed. The problem I'm having is after I selected format sd card in rom manager (not sure why I did that) I now no longer have a download folder, in other words, if I open root exploror and try and fine my download folder I wont because its not there.

Just download CM from the DEV section and place it on the root of your sd card. Then power off your phone and 3 button combo into cwm and flash that way.

Cwm tells me when I try and install anything that- E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: Signature verification failed, installation aborted. This is the exact message I get in cwm

How are you trying to install via cwm? Are you selecting the zip file or just clicked install update.zip? Just asking to make sure your doing it the right way.

Ffs it's the blind leading leading the blind.
Op you can't see the folder anymore because format means WIPE so your sdcard is empty now.
And 2 the signature error isn't because if that it's because you are on stock froyo which requires signed update zips. To get around this look here for the 3e recovery thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161102
You're welcome

At first I downloaded the rom from one of the dev pages, I than checked root explore/sdcard/download to make sure it downloaded fine, which it did. I than went to rom manager and booted into recovery, but I didn't see anything about installing from sdcard (which is what I see on my infuse) all I see is reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, and format internal sdcard. I selected reinstall packages because when I flashed my first rom on my infuse this step was required. Nothing happeded afterwards but the install didn't error out like its doing now. After nothing changed I than went back to rom manager and went to download rom, found the rom I wanted, selected download. After it downloaded I got an install prompt.I selected wipe data and cache (again, my infuse required this step) after that nothing seemed to change. I went back to rom manage and noticed a section that says install rom from sdcard, I opened that and say a download folder, opened the folder and saw the rom but I back out because I wasn't too sure about that process. I booted back into recovery and for some.dumb reason I clicked format internal and external sdcard. Now I'm getting this error message, and I have no downloads.

[Q] mod installing - i got stuck

Hi there,
I have rooted my i9003 phone and now I'd like to try installing this mod:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967297
but I have no bloody idea how to do this.
Notice - I have been looking through xda and google for more information, but failed
What to do with downloaded files? How to access system directory on the PC? Do I need just to swap the files?
Please help,
Thanks very much.
//i have got the rootexplorer

I think you move the zip file to your SD Card and enter CwM to install it? I don't really know. I'm a newb

Just to let everyone know, you need to download CwM, flash with odin (as PDA), then using your phone enter cmw app and choose to reboot with cmw.
Then you can apply the mod.

[update-MIUIv4-2.8.3]

[download]
MIUIv4-2.8.3
** recommended **
- please create "partition sd" with cwm before installing rom.
- don't use any 3rd apps for swap ram, i have included script on this rom.

Thanks,
thanks for the rom.
but can u let us know what is different in this rom from other MIUI roms

Nice to have updated miui of ics, just want to check why you stick with 2.8.3.... You should update it with latest available version...
Any way if get chance I will try today only...
Sent from my FIH-FB0 using xda app-developers app

I agree46ith vivekb.
I'll definetly try this ROM when I got bored with cm10
Miui 2.8.3 was my favorite ROM once up on a time. Still have a hope of getting JB based miui.
@GUNDUL46, @tanuj : did you guys got hands on miui JB...?

guys beware of while creating SD partition from CMW.... take backup before proceeding further as it make your SD card blank.... I lost everything on my mobile SD card .... now trying to recover it .................

be careful to partition your SD.
only use good quality of SD card.
with partition SD you have 3 parts.
1. mmcblk1p1 = fat32 normal external memory
2. mmcblk1p2 = ext4 to change internal memory on /data.
3. mmcblk1p3 = linux swap for swap ram
recommended apps swapper2 or mounts2sd.
if you use swapper2 please change swap partition to /dev/block/mmcblk1p3
only if you have partitioned SD card.

If you have create partition of SD please follow this step.
Choice between use swapper2 or mounts2sd. (download from market)
*.Swapper2 (only swap ram)
1. Install and open. Go to settings.
Look screenshot.
2. After change settings click on button and reboot.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

*.mount2sd (swap ram + sd-ext)
1. After install, open and configure busybox and install script.
2. Change settings (look screenshot).
3. Rebooting twice.

No download mode..No Charging light ...No CWM Recovery,...No installation of Rom by SUT...

Hi gundul46 I've just flash my friend phone (Axioo Vigo-FIH FBO) using SUTLR to ANDRO-ID-RC3 Rom, and then trying to instal this MIUIv4-2.8.3 rom from Recovery but it's always gave me error which says
E:Can't open /sdcard/MIUI_v4_2.8.3.zip (bad)
Installation aborted.
and when I try to open the zip file from PC it says that the zip file is corrupted
I've try to redownload the ROM but stil get the same result
thanks

The zip you have downloaded is not the good one.
Try redownloading it.

tried this rom~
okay i was hoping for a fix on recording with miui ics
i knew i had a separate app for taking pics (camera ics) and and an app for for recording vids (stock camera pulled from nexus s)
but i was counting more on unifying the two apps together...
so i thought i'd tried this one....
and now some notes regarding this rom
i flashed the 4.2 camera app into this rom and camera, recording and panorama works... sphere fcs... so that's something good
but then a bummer...
theme manager fcs.......
so i replaced the apk with a different one: the one pulled from miui 2.7.20 from comdevx's post
okay now i can apply themes and apply wallpapers...
the only glitch is that Settings > Sound: you get 4 choices for your changing your tones: ringtones, notifications, sms received, sms sent
ringtones took me to the select ringtone activity in themes. and notifications to notifications.....
BUT sms received and sent took me to NOTIFICATIONS... so you can't change those two (the default is FadeIn.ogg which i hate the most)
i'm guessing.... wrong intent?
so i see two workarounds:
1. edit the build.prop, then data-wipe your phone
2. push the specific .ogg file into /data/system/ringtones, though you have to name the file correctly (which idk) also wondering if that would screw your settings or brick your phone
haven't tried those two yet. the best hope is to find a good thememanager.apk that won't screw up when i open it and allow me to edit sms tones.
that's all i should say
