So I was just installing cm11 via this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9305 and I seemed to get every glitch in the book unfortunately and hours later I'm still stuck. Then I read from someone I don't need to use adb! Is this correct? Can I just drag and drop the cm and gapps zip files in Windows onto my phones external sd card in normal Android mode then install via cwm from the card?
I'm just confused to why it gives the hard way to do it if you can do it the easy way? If you see what I mean? Also it's it best to install via internal or external card?
Thanks.

Correct, no need adb to install cm, place the zips wherever you like int. or ext. sd (doesnt matter which one, both do same thing) and boot into recovery flash it and done! its not that it just gives the hard way, its just you that found the hard way instead of the easy way at that moment

yes annoying that it was given as the best way to me allot of other ones seem to say use adb as well. I guess its the posh way maybe more safe too... I did it the easy way in the end got a nightly... Had some crashes hopefully no more... Stuff like trebuchet and themes and some apps not updating first time. Fingers crossed it's only minor stuff...I assume I didn't need to do any dalvik cache wiping or anything like that. I think I just did partition cache and data factory reset in cwm.

well in some cases if you get too many fc´s or other bothering things its good to do a wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik, i do it once a week to clean up the caches and old stuff etc. you should do it too

Is anyone else having issues with Market on the ADP 1.51 (CRB43) builds?
When I attempted to download an update to an existing app (GV) it downloads but when it tried to install "Installation error Insufficient storage available"
I have apps2sd and I've removed the stock ringtones from the build giving me only 89% of used space in /system directory and I have about 600mb free on my ext2 partition. Insufficient storage my a$$!
Anyone else have issues with this "Insufficient storage" error?
Do you have the cache etc all running off the SD? Apps is only one step, where it installs the apps to the SD. However unless the cache and so is moved, its like having firefox installed on one drive, but storing your browsing stuff on your main drive still. So youll run out of room unless its all on the SD.

Yeah. Cache is also on SD. Just to be certain, I cleared the cache. Same issue.
I'm assuming your using the app to put things on the sd. I used lucids script to do it to mine. I wonder if something did not get linked over. Tried using a file manager to see what's on the internal?

After clearing the cache and discovering that it didn't work (just for the heck of it I also cleared the cache directory on SD) I tried a wipe and everything downloads again. I fastboot flash my data.img and I'm back to the same issues. Not sure what the problem is but I'm considering a wipe. I already backed everything up by backup pro. I just loathing the fact that Market will loose all the apps that I had installed already (they will all say FREE instead of INSTALLED or UPDATE AVAILABLE). Is there a file for market that marks what has been downloaded/installed?
The tip Id recommend. Try Lucids script for moving the data and cache before doing anything. Since if your ready to wipe, cant hurt to try and see if it does it.
Next do the pre tip I did personally. I used atrackdog, Hit menu and do export, it saves to a .txt file. Open that file and you will know which apps YOU had on there vs everything in the my downloads.
I wish I could help more as far as cache and why its not working fully. Ive had my share of struggles and always lucked out.. which is why I hope the 1st option works for you.

Here is the answer!! i have the same problem, i tried to get out the sd card, and it worked(app installs succcesfully)!!
THE PROBLEM IS: EXT2 PARTITION (android do that.. wrong) the ext partition was causing the problem in the installation
1. download minitool partition wizard(or use a working partition tool)!
2. in recovery(volume down and boot phone into recovery) a, go into usb mode(mount and storage/usb mode) (if you have old recovery, download the 4.0...... i cant remember but the newest what you can find)
you have seen 2 partition and its crap!
3. creat 1 partition FAT32 PRIMARY! and format the SD card! (with all storage) this is all you need on your droid!!!(and your music, pictures and apps too)
4. after that, take rom on the SD and install it.
AND APP INSTALLATIoN WORKS!
Not the same phone but for what it's worth this does not appear to be hardware specific. This problem for me was caused by the Google app sync. As soon as it got too many apps in the install queue, it breaks and thinks the drive is full. I was able to fix it by going into recovery and clearing the cache again on my LG P999.
Hello out there!
I sure hope someone can help me with this! I have rendered my phone completely useless. I have been working on this thing for the past 7 straight hours.
I upgraded to the 5.08 radio and then the MIUI_Au_1.1.28_R4_N1_EN-signed.zip
Everything was working beautifully until I decided to do a Nandroid restore. I guess I did not truly understand the function of this. After a reboot, I was back at square one.
I rebooted again into the recovery mode and then wiped and reinstalled the new rom. Now the new rom is giving me an error. I cannot get any network connectivity from it. I wipe and reinstall several more times and get the same effect.
This is when I get the idea to format and partition the SDcard from within the recovery menu. This was clearly not the best choice.
I cannot get the phone to restore back to factory anymore. The SDcard is empty. I have even taken it out. When it boots up it still boots into some non-working version of the new MIUI rom. No network connectivity. Where is it storing this? I have wiped everything possible. Played with partitions. I have tried hard resetting in the limited interface and in the Recovery console.
At this point, I cannot work on this any longer. My next idea is to put the micro SD card in another device and put original stock image on it. Is it possible that the new rom installed a kernel and that is what I am seeing? I figure if I can install a different rom from the SD card I might just be ok.
Any input into this mess would be greatly appreciated. Because I still have access to the Recovery console I know this is not the end for my phone.
Someone please tell me they know what is going on!
I would be happy to elaborate any more points regarding this issue.
It seems to me that I am not able to delete something because the new rom keeps coming up. Where is it booting from if I wiped everything?
I am at my witts end!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses!

If you can enter the recovery mode, you just have to enable the SDCard to browse it from your computer. From there you can push in the sdcard whatever zip you wish. Remember to wipe cache and data.
If you can't enter the recovery mode, go in fastboot and flash it again.
And of course, the ROM is booting from /system partition on internal Flash memory in the device, which you can't wipe without knowing fastboot/adb commands - which obviously isn't the case. Wiping SD card won't do anything, and wiping user data isn't going to help you either.
As already mentioned above, since your recovery is working - get into it, mount the USB-MS, connect to PC, copy a ROM of your choice to the SD card, unmount, flash it, enjoy. I suggest RTFM before doing things.
Gratitude!
Thank you for your replies!
I have been putting off doing this upgrade for some time and have been living with limited functionality on the phone due to the amount of time and research I would have to put in to make sure I cross all my t's and dot all my i's.
I was never able to get the MS-USB toggle to work. Windows XP would not show I had put a new drive in when I used it.
I remedied the situation by getting a microSD to SD adapter so that I could put the new rom on the SD card. I used the original microSD card at first and installed the MIUI again. This caused me the same results of rebooting a few times before it went into the rom. When it got in I had no network connectivity.
I decided I would try this brand new microSD card and put the EvIL rom 1.26 on it instead.
I wiped and installed the Evil rom on the new card and Walla!
I have Evil rom now working with network functionality. There must have been some kind of hidden garbage on the old microSD that was keeping me down.
8 hours into the project, I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE MY PHONE UP AND RUNNING!!!!
I hope others may find this post useful!
Many Blessings & Thanks!

Hi,
I was happily using my blue-dot NC with CM7 Nightly-177, as suddenly it started to boot ONLY to recovery (CWM 3.2.0.1).
I had used the NC, then put into a neoprene type cover, and put all in a soft bag, and carried it in the car and when I wanted to power the NC on, I was in recovery..
SDCard was intact, could read and copy the contents in my PC.
Tried everything including trying to install CM7 from the sdcard anew multiple times.
It boots from the sdcard, I wipe data, I wipe cache, I wipe dalvik cache, I find and install zip, I install gapps, everything goes OK.. I power down, take the sdcard out. I powerup.. I have the green logo, then the recovery...
What could I be doing wrong?
I'm really pissed off, and thanks for any help.
I wouldn't have wiped data. (I hope you have a backup.) Since it will boot into recovery off the eMMC, put a nightly on a non booting SD card and try again and only wipe Davlik. Normally when updating with ROM Manager that is all you need to wipe. You also might want to flash the gaaps .zip again if you find the market missing after you get back into CM7.
Seemed like you flashed ROM manager into eMMC.

Well, I had asked the same question at androidtablets.net, few days ago, and I was told do take this route, wiping the data and all.
BTW, I have a backup yes..

Yes, multiple times with different zips..
It is always, the green Cyanogen logo, says loading, a little flicker, and the amber menu..
That is very odd. Possibly you have a corrupted image on your card. Have you tried creating the bootable image all over again?
Dumb question..... is it fully charged?

It is even on the mains.
I have tried creating the bootable drive more than once. The image is the one that I have used for the first time..(1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer)
I will try reverting to stock, and then install once more. If not, I will try to boot from the sdcrad (double boot).
Either I am missing some very basic step, or it is really odd..

Patruns, now I have a nook color e-reader ver 1.2..
Before trying once more I want to check with you which image, which nightly, and which gapps should I use, and maybe from where to download..
I have a 4 GB Sandisk sdcard.
Do you want to install CM7 to the internal memory (eMMC) or just running it off the uSD?
You have to know what you want to do first.

Of course I would like to install to emmc..
I assume you have a brand-new (or like brand-new) v.1.2 NC and you don't want to deal with its partitions.
1. I never try that 3.2.0.1 from eyeballer, but it should be good. Just make sure you not get the corrupted one during download
2. Get the Win32DiskImager old version, r0.15 or something
3. Create flashable uSD (i'm sure you know how to)
Make sure it's good (there should be 4 files in the boot uSD)
4. Get the stable CM7 7.1 and the latest Gapps (0811 or 0821)
5. Drop both in the uSD
6. Fire the NC up.
7. It should get into the CwM R, from there
a. format /system
b. format /data
c. format /cache
Note: I didn't format /boot when doing mine.
d. install CM7 first
e. then install Gapp
8. perform wipe data/factory reset
9. after done, remove the uSD before reboot system.
Give it some times during the first boot.
If after 10' and still not up, then force reboot.
Keep fingers crossed.
Hi there. I just got my Galaxy S3, and as such don't need my S1 anymore. I am going to sell it, but before I do so I should clean the SD. I see a lot of format options in "mounts and storage" in CWM, but I don't know which does the job and which does not. I want all the files that are stored on it to be off the thing, and make it almost as if it were fresh from the factory (or in my case, fresh from the factory, but only after having put Android ICS on it). Can anyone tell me which parts I should format?

Format all parts then flash ics rom.

If you do that he won't have a system to boot from! But you could do that and then flash a stock Rom with Odin, that would be best to sell it, only a small percentage of people run custom Roms
I'm assuming you're already on ICS?
I find the best way is to simply format from the settings menu (Backup & reset-->Factory data reset). On the following screen which tells you that your google account and apps etc will be erased, if you scroll to the bottom there is an option to also erase SD card (music, photos etc). That should clear everything.
I decided to dust off the Touchpad that was on CM9. I was trying to catch up and installed TpToolBox, and upgraded CWM. I did a bunch of fixing in Toolbox and now all I can access is /sdcard/0/clockworkmod folder which is empty. All my data is still there as when I mount the touchpad it shows up in windows.
I have been trying to read about what to do and found some stuff that I don`t know how to comprehend. I am a bit behind on the changes from cm9 to cm11 but understand there is a media storage difference.
So can someone please help me to get back to whatever I need to do to flash a CM11 rom. I can easily back up the data I have and go from there. I am sure there is a link out there but I don`t even know where to begin...
TYIA
I would like to know that as well. Thanks for info.

having just used it myself, this is what i understand happens
if you did the 'complete data reset' then it should be obvious that your entire touchpad is wiped
if you did just the install android, it will repartition the data into the new media partition, and the last 4.5gb into the legacy data partition, this is the partition that's going to mounted as 'external_sd' and will be where all your old data is stored
if you had over 4.5gb of data before the repartition, i'm not sure what happens, but my guess would be that the toolbox is smart enough to make the data partition to whatever amount of data is used and the leftover amount as the media
so now, after this, the /sd_card/ is part of the new media partition
go up one directory, and you should find the /external_sd/ and that should be where all your old stuff is

My data is there but only accessible in webOS or when mounted in toolbox. I cannot go up any directories. It sticks me in one and I try to mount others but nothing happens.
did you actually install cm11? if not, what exactly did u do?
it sounds like you started the install, but did not complete it, if that's the case, just do the install android again, it should see that you have the correct partition sizes and thus, will not do any repartitioning
then just continue with the install

Nope. Once I was done all that I went back into CWM and this is where I am at...
so what did you do with the toolbox (which options did u select)?
honestly, it sounds like you should just run the android install
