Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.
A few questions:

What did you try to flash and how did you try doing it (CWM, ODIN, ...)?
What 'issues'?

How far into the boot sequence does it get?
Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?
Have you tried seeing what is causing the boot-loop using adb?
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?

This is an action of last resort. Exhaust all other avenues first.

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

I don't know anything about adb and I'm not sure what I would be looking for. Is there a tutorial I can follow somewhere?
Thanks for any help!
This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Good luck.
Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.
Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

This fixed it. Never had to do it with any of my other devices. CM10 loaded quickly after that. Loving how fast JB is!

Thank you.
I flash the kernel but got a boot loop.
I have the firmware JW4 not get the JVU ... my model is i9000t, could you help me get the firmware that worked with your phone.
Thanks in advance.
sorry for my English.
solved!!!
Downloading the ROM file: I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar
Downloading the ODIN & PIT files: Flashprogram_Samsung_I9000__Pits.rar
Downloading the Drivers for the PC: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0.zip
Most importantly: KEEP YOUR PHONE FULL CHARGED OR AT-LEAST ABOVE 50% CHARGING LEVEL.
Once you are done with the prerequisites, you can move down to the installation procedure as below:
1. Unzip the ROM, ODIN and Drivers to their respective folders in case it requires any password, it will be “samfirmware.com”
2.Now, the first thing to be done is install the phone drivers on the PC which you are to use for flashing the ROM. To do this, navigate to SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0 folder and select the appropriate setup x86 or x64 based on the type of OS you are using on your PC.
Once this one has been installed, get your GT I9000 in the download mode by using the 3-Button combo. For that, first switch off the phone and wait for it to vibrate a little just to confirm that it is completely switched off. Then, press the three buttons: Power Key, Volume Down and Home Key and hold until you see a green android saying “Downloading”
3. Next, goto Flashprogram_Samsung_I9000__Pits folder and open I9003_Odin3 v1.82.exe (Don’t bother the I9003 in the file name. It is compatible for I9000 also)
4.Once ODIN has be opened, connect your phone to the PC while it is in download mode. Once connected, an “Added” remark will appear on the message window.
5. Next, click on the PIT button, navigate to the Flashprogram_Samsung_I9000__Pits folder and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
6. Then, click on the PDA button, navigate to the I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA folder and select the CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file.
7. Then, click on the PHONE button, navigate to the I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA folder and select the MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5 file.
8. Then, click on the CSC button, navigate to the I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA folder and select the GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5 file.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE FILE PROPERLY AS ABOVE AND DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE CONTINUING FURTHER.
9. Next, make sure that Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time have been check marked.
Once all the above steps are done, click on Start button and wait for the message window to show “All threads completed” and “Pass” displayed on the top left box.
10. Then, click on PDA button, navigate to Kernel_JVU_Fix_sdcard file, and clic on Start!

Basically I want to flash paranoid android on my atrix hd. There are some bugs like gps and camcorder not working. Theres a fix for the gps but I can't understand it. I need someone to help me with that fix, and explain how to install it. I'm on stock jellybean 4.1.1. I haven't rooted nor have I unlocked my bootloader. I've head of recoveries like safe strap but I have no idea what they are nor how they work. So my main request is for someone to help me decipher the following page for a gps fix as most of the things on that page are too complicated for me. Then, hopefully I'll be able to flash this onto it. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Thread in question : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293070
As of right now, there is no fix for the GPS or camcorder. If you flash an XT925 (Razr HD) ROM, you should have working GPS. That is, if you really need GPS, because the only time it doesn't work is when WiFi is off (if WiFi is on, but not connected to a network it still works fine). And we do not need Safestrap anymore, since we now have unlocked bootloaders.
To root your phone, unlock your bootloader, and flash a custom recovery:
REMEMBER THAT BY DOING THIS YOU WILL BE VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY WITH MOTOROLA
Plug your phone into your PC.
To root and unlock your bootloader, you'll need to download Myth Tools from here.
Download the V1.2 from either Dev-Host or Google Docs, it doesn't matter.
Extract the .zip using 7zip or WinRAR or a similar program.
Now go here and download from the first link (Dev-Host again).
Copy the cwm.img that you downloaded from the second link into "Myth Tools - AHD\tools" (you just extracted this is bullet #2) and overwrite the existing one.
Open the file named "MythTools_Launcher.exe", read the warning, type Y, then press enter. The launcher will close, open it again with the same file.
Press 1, then enter twice. Then click install. (If the launcher ever closes, just re-open it. If the command prompt stays open and issues a bunch of confusing commands, don't touch it, just wait.)
Press 6, then enter, and a browser window will open. Click "Download for Windows" (I'm assuming you're using Windows), then install it as you install any program.
Press 4, then enter twice. THIS WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY YOU MAY HAVE It will now root your phone, providing you, and apps that you allow, with full root access to your phone's filesystem. Don't touch it until it's done. Once the command prompt window closes or returns to the menu, continue this "guide."
Press 5, then enter twice. THIS WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY YOU MAY HAVE It will now unlock your bootloader, allowing you to flash a custom recovery, such as ClockworkMod (CWM), as well as custom ROMs through that custom recovery.
Congratulations, you have now rooted your phone, and unlocked your bootloader!
Back in the menu, press 3, then enter, then 1, and enter again. This will flash ClockworkMod recovery onto your phone (the absolute latest version that was built specifically for our device by mattlgroff, which we downloaded and overwrote earlier)
Congratulations, you now have ClockworkMod installed on your phone. Power your device completely down, then hold the power button and both volume buttons to boot into the custom recovery. If it brings you to a black screen with white text, (vol. down scrolls, vol. up selects) go down to "Recovery" and press volume up.
To flash another ROM (Paranoid Android in this case):
THIS IS ASSUMING YOU HAVE AN EXTERNAL SD CARD AVAILABLE AND CAN WRITE TO IT FROM YOUR PC, if you do not, let me know and I can type up new instructions.
Download the ROM and GAPPS from step 3 of this post. DO NOT EXTRACT THESE Once they have finished downloading (be sure your browser or download manager did not receive an error while downloading), move them from your PC to your external SD card.
Boot into your custom recovery, which we flashed above. In CWM (the screen the with grey background and Android Batman in the background) volume up/down both scroll and power selects, all menus loop from top to bottom and bottom to top.
Scroll down to "backup and restore" then select "backup to external sdcard". It will backup all your personal data to your sdcard to be restored to later if need be.
Scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and select it. Scroll to "Yes -- delete all user data" and select it, any "No" option will go back. (yes, this is tedious, but you will have to do this anytime you want to format, wipe, or flash anything).
You can now select "mounts and storage".
Scroll to "format /system" and select it. Scroll to "Yes - Format" and select it.
Now back in the "mounts and storage" screen, scroll down to "mount /system" and select it.
Now comes the fun part. Scroll to "+++++Go Back+++++" then "install zip from sdcard".
Select "choose zip from external sdcard" and navigate to the location where you moved the ROM and GAPPS zips to.
Select "pa_qinara-3.56-26MAY2013-185039.zip" the "Yes - ________". (the line is just me being lazy and tired)
You're now back at the main menu or the "choose zip from external sdcard" menu (if you're not in this menu, go to it). Navigate back to where the files are and select "pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130524-signed.zip" then "Yes - ________". (just me being tired again)
Now you're almost done. If you're not at the main menu, select "+++++Go Back+++++" until you are.
Select "wipe cache partition" then "Yes - ________". (still tired)
Back at the main menu, select "advanced" then "wipe dalvik cache" then "Yes - _______" (you don't get how tired I am) Now select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Now you're done flashing Paranoid Android! Select "reboot system now" and you're good to go.
Good luck, and enjoy Paranoid Android!
If you don't have an external SD card, let me know and I'll write up instructions for you. Whether you need it or not, I may add it tomorrow after school, it's getting kinda late and I'm really tired.
If I made any mistakes, please let me know!
OK I am a noob just got my first android device in April . You can download and install clock word mod ROM manager from the play store . You have to root your phone first . I have tried every ROM for the HD and I go back to clean ROM everytime , it is 4.1.2 and everything works . You don't need to unlock your boot loader to install safe strap and flash ROMs but you do have to root .

How are you going to give directions for safestrap and cwm.. Lol
But to op unlock your bootloader and install cwm then flash an xt925 rom and the gps will work.. Unfortunately no blue tooth audio or camcorder though. Only way those will work is with a 4.1 based rom.

I wasn't giving instructions for both just letting him know that safe strap will work without having to unlock the bootloader . Sorry if it seemed other wise .

ROMs with custom kernels such as CM, AOKP, and AOSPA will not work with Safestrap, and tru3gam3r wants to run AOSPA.

My bad I should have been more clear . If you want a ROM that has everything working then you can use safe strap and use one of the 4.1 ROMs without having to unlock the boot loader . Like I said I'm a noob sorry.
Since this is a noob thread.
I do want to say that you should always have a fully working nandroid backup that you created with clockwork mod. This way, if you are in a situation that you need that working rom you can always recover very quickly.(within maybe 5 mins)
I typically keep a "stock" nandroid backup on the external SD card for those times when I can't deal with any bugs and just need things to work...
In most threads, it always says in all caps to make your backup before flashing. This is important for these types of scenarios...as well as many other reasons...

Yeah, I had a stock nandroid, but it was from our old CWM that had weird dates/times so I was like "I have no idea what any of these are (I had around 7) and I don't feel like restoring each one, so I'll just delete them all. That sounds good." Luckily I haven't need to use it yet.
Hi all, I wrote a long-winded Tutorial to put Evervolv KitKat on a stock N1. I don't have a stock N1 (I stumbled all the way through this process and got done yesterday, was so excited I wrote this tutorial) and don't know how to get it back to stock, so I'm wondering if anyone who has one and has experience putting new ROMs on other devices would like to test this out and let me know if anything doesn't work as written. Please go ahead if you like and reply your updates! Once it's dialed I'll make it a thread in the N1 ROMs forum.
Here's the text:
How to put KitKat on a Nexus One (And have computing power & space to spare):
Things you'll need:
1. A Windows/Linux computer with internet connection, USB port, and terminal
2. A USB Cable
3. A Nexus One with the most recent stock gingerbread rom (Settings->about, look for Android 2.3.6 or GRK39F, else apply/google updates to get to that version)
Before you begin, note that you're playing with a generally safe form of fire, but when playing with fire, you may brick your phone. The maker of this guide and any sites you visit during the process assume no responsibility, the user assumes full responsibility for lost work and damaged or ruined phones. Your warranty will be voided about six times over. Save all your stuff somewhere, save apps with Titanium Backup (Google it) or something, and do a full Nandroid backup (Goog that too) before you begin. You will be fully wiping your phone and SD card multiple times. Make sure at every step of the process that your battery is at least half full. Running out of battery during an update can cause bricks. In this guide, “Boot” means standard boot, the way it normally turns on. Not hboot or fastboot or recovery.
I did part of this from a Windows7 computer on Cygwin and part on Ubuntu 12.04, each presented some annoyance but by far the greatest was due to my Linux ineptitude with PATH and Root. If you're trying the same, I've made an appendix for that.
It may help to have a brief conceptual overview of what you'll be doing in case you run into snags and have to step out of the walkthrough. Your N1 has a few basic parts: Internal memory that is chopped into 3 partitions: One for the system files (System) , one for the files that they will need to make during the first bootup and use in order to operate, along with your apps and their created files (Data) and one for temporary files that your OS and apps can regenerate (Cache). Somewhere in there it also has space for a Radio (that also includes some critical power functions, flashing a new radio is the easiest way to brick an N1 but we won't), as well as a Recovery partition and an Hboot&Fastboot partition. We will be messing with Recovery and Hboot. The virtual machine that turns all the friendly pseudo-english computer code into 1s and 0s for the processor to deal with is called Dalvik, named after a town in Iceland where some old dev's family is from. It has its own Cache (the VM, not the town, as there are no longer any fish in Iceland ). It's SOP to wipe Cache & Dalvik before and after applying any updates, and wipe Data (Factory reset) before applying most updates. Sometimes when my phone bogs I reboot to recovery and wipe caches just for funsies. This makes it take longer to boot the phone and to use each app just the first time after that, while the files are created fresh. The phone also should have an SD-Card. You should have or buy an 8+MB, Class 10 SD card. The class relates to read/write speed, anything less than 10 will noticeably slow your Nexus One's operation. Why?
Because we're going to put some of your operating system on the SD card. We're going to use a special recovery system (aka recovery ROM) called “4ext” to partition your SD card. Mine is 16GB, partitioned to 14GB for storage and 2GB to use as fake internal memory, where my system's Data and Cache live. The KitKat System files that normally live on internal memory's System partition are too big for a normal N1, so we'll use a special Hboot called BlackRose to repartition your internal memory so you can fit KitKat, and then after you first boot it up we'll use an app called Mounts2SD to install a startup script so that every other time you boot it up after that, it will know to find Data and Cache on the SD card. In order to install BlackRose, you'll need to be running CyanogenMod Rom as your main OS, and in order to do that you'll need ClockWorkMod Recovery ROM. So the installation order will be: ClockworkMod recovery->Cyanogen7OS (Gingerbread based)->4ext recovery to partition SD card->BlackRoseHboot to repartition internal memory->Evervolv KitKat-based N1 ROM-> run Mounts2sd for startup scripts ->reboot to your new life among the anatomically modern cyborgs (and then you're on your own for getting all your apps and music and contacts and stuff back on the phone from wherever you saved it).
Ready? Here we go!
1. Install the Android SDK on your computer.
1. Get the appropriate version here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Unzip it.
3. Run the setup.exe (if using windows)
4. When asked which packages to install, choose “Android SDK Tools”, “SDK Platform Android 2.1″, and “Usb Driver package” (If you use eclipse, check that last link for instructions on using the ADT plugin (Not the same ADT that cuts your paycheck, much less inept))
5. Make sure the USB drivers installed properly (windows).
1. Go to printers and devices in the control panel, or device manager
2. If you see an android device with no warnings, you're golden. If it has warnings, right click it and go properties->update driver (driver can be found in your android sdk directory where you unzipped the sdk bundle, in \usb_driver).
6. Boot up your N1 and plug it in to the computer. If the computer recognizes it and they play nice, you're set with the sdk. To extra check, open terminal and cd to the sdk's platform-tools folder that should contain the adb utility. Type #adb devices and see if it comes up with a message telling you that it's running a daemon on a port like 5037, and then lists something like HT9CPP800063 device. This is your phone, it's telling you you're beyond connected. You've got the sdk working. Else have your friend Google help you get the SDK properly installed.
2. Root the phone so it will let you dig in.
1. Put your N1 in USB debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging)
2. In the terminal, in the platform-tools folder, type #adb reboot bootloader. (((My phone has a power hardware issue and will not reboot while plugged in ever to any mode ever at all ever, if yours does too you can unplug (first type #adb kill-server to make it ok to unplug) the usb cable, power down, wait five seconds, and hold the trackball and power button to power back up into the bootloader, then plug in again. There was a lot of unplugging, waiting fifteen seconds, booting while holding buttons, plugging in, adb devices -ing that I will omit henceforth due to low likelihood that you have the same problem.)))
3. Using the onscreen directions on the phone and the hard buttons, navigate to fastboot mode. It may be unresponsive and throw some not-found messages for five seconds before it lets you do anything.
4. In the terminal on your computer, in the platform-tools folder, type #fastboot devices to see if your devices is connected (it should come up with the same HT#XXX###### number).
5. This step will gain Root access, unlock the bootloader, and WIPE ALL YOUR ****. Now type #fastboot oem-unlock . You may have to accept the warranty voiding. If for whatever reason it doesn't work, use this method http://code.google.com/p/bexboot/, and unzip the files to the platform-tools folder.
6. Using the phone buttons, reboot. Your little lock logo during the bootup should be unlocked now.
7. Power down and boot again for good measure. Re-enable usb debugging in the phone app dev settings.
3. Get ClockworkMod Recovery.
1. Download koush's ClockworkMod Recovery from : recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img and put it in the platform-tools folder.
2. To make sure the file is not corrupted and will not brick your goods, check the md5sum. This is the result of a complicated equation that easily reveals even a single flipped bit in the file by vastly changing the output. Google how to do this, in windows you'll need to download a tool like winmd5free. The output for this particular file should be: md5: 45716c8d51ed2375873f01f0b14b2184 If it's anything else don't use it.
3. Reboot to the bootloader again, either by #adb reboot bootloader or by powering up while holding the trackball, and navigate to fastboot.
4. Verify that you're connected with #fastboot devices
5. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery by typing #fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
6. It should give a success message. Reboot to recovery from the fastboot menu. It should be a sweet new blue and white ClockWorkMod recovery. Power down and reboot to recovery by holding volume up as you power up, just for good measure.
4. Get CyanogenMod7 ROM.
1. On your computer, go to http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=passion&type=stable and download the latest stable CM7 zip. Put it in the platform-tools folder.
2. Check its md5 as you did in part 3.
3. Do #adb-devices, which should give you that serial again, and the word recovery.
4. Place the zip file on the root of your SD card by doing #adb push cm-7.2.0-passion.zip /sdcard/
5. If that last step failed, try running #adb shell mount /sdcard or #adb kill-server then #adb devices then #adb shell mount /sdcard, then try the push again. Or mount the sdcard through the recovery menu before running that push command. Or use your computer's file system to drag and drop the .zip to the root (lowest) folder of the sd card.
6. Using the recovery menu, in backup and restore options, backup your current ROM.
7. In the format menu, do a wipe data/factory reset. Wipe the cache and dalvik cache while you're at it.
8. Back in the main recovery menu, do install zip → choose zip from sd card.
9. Select that CM7 zip file.
10. Return to the main menu and reboot the system. It should come up with a totally different looking leaner meaner version of Gingerbread, that gives you more control and speed and saves battery. But even with this system, given modern app sizes, you'll soon run out of room on the internal memory if you stop now. And besides, you're having too much fun.
5. Get 4EXT recovery
1. Go to 4ext.net and download the free .apk file: http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk Congratulations if you're about to install your first not market app (apps are now .apk, not just something you get from the store's GUI.). Save it in platform-tools. Or, to be really nice to Max, you can just buy the app in the play store and skip the next two steps.
2. Enable USB debugging, plug in and #adb-devices.
3. # adb install 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk. You should get back a success message in a fistful of seconds.
4. At this point you may need to back out to regular settings, turn on wifi, and hook up to your wifi router.
5. Open the 4ext recovery updater app. Go to settings. Allow superuser permissions and everything else. It should detect Nexus One, connect to the internet, and boot you back to the main menu.
6. Go to online install. They're all release candidates and no stable versions, so just go with the newest one. Select install.
7. Wait for it to finish and then reboot to recovery, either by # adb reboot recovery or manually. You should have a beautiful new touchscreen recovery.
6. Partition your SD Card
1. In recovery, go to tools->partition sd card->remove all partitions and start from scratch.
2. For the first Ext partition, where you'll be keeping a good chunk of your OS, The consensus online is not to go above either 1.5GB or 2GB. I'm working fine with 2GB aka 2048MB.
3. You can skip the 2nd Ext partition.
4. The internet says Swap size should be 0.
5. Internet says File system should be ext4. This should do the partitioning, the rest of your SD card will still be great for storage as before.
7. Repartition internal memory using BlackRose:
1. I have never used BlackRose on Windows, but here goes: go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270589 and download this zip archive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1016437&d=1334971685; It has windows and linux files. The site also has a manual in case this walkthrough lets you down.
2. Unzip it into a folder in your platform-tools. Execute it with a ./ in linux or a .exe in win. It should say waiting for devices.
3. Reboot your phone manually. BlackRose should hijack the startup, install itself, and quit. Boot your phone up again.
4. Blackrose is rumored to have an interactive guide to partitioning, but it didn't work for me and at least some other genius on the internet, but being an industrious Austrian, he figured out the fix: Run Blackrose in Editor mode. Type resize as prompted.
5. The post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540366 on Evervolv KitKat implies that 250MB for System works with enough space for Gapps (Google does not allow their standard apps like Play Store to be included with Mod roms anymore, so you will need to install them from recovery too, but they distribute them bundled so it's not hard.), and some commenter said 260MB, but that didn't work for me long enough to run startup scripts and move some of it off. So I had to redo it and I went with 265MB for System and 10MB for Cache, which is working fine. Give it a name, I went with Kat.
6. BlackRose will shut down, but it will leave a golden turd in the form of a file called hboot_brcust.nb0 probably in the folder called “other.” That's what you want.
7. Put that file in the same folder as the Blackrose utilities fastboot-l and fastboot-w if it's not already there. Then boot your phone into fastboot again, via adb or manually. I think. Maybe try this from being standard booted up if the next part doesn't work.
8. Run # fastboot-l flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0 . Windozers should use fastboot-w instead. Blackroot will wait for the device again.
9. Reboot your phone into the bootloader manually, by holding the trackball while powering up. The image should install on this boot, resizing your phone's internal memory partitions.
10. Run # fastboot -w. Your Bootloader should be loaded up, with the 1st line saying something about BlackRose and the 2nd line saying 265/10/161. This is how you know it worked. That 265 is where it's at for KitKat. Your main OS had been destroyed, but your Recovery ROM should still work.
8. Install Evervolv KitKat.
1. Go here http://evervolv.com/devices/passion and download the latest stable release. At press time that's the 4.0.0p4.2 version. Save it to platform-tools.
2. Reboot to Recovery from the menu in the BlackRose bootloader.
3. Do # adb devices. Then do # adb push ev_passion-4.0.0p4.2-perdo-squished.zip /sdcard/ . If it doesn't work, try using the touch recovery menu to toggle mount USB, then push, then unmount. Or mount USB, use the computer's file system to move the file to the root of the sd card, then unmount USB. Or try as root if you're using linux.
4. From the main recovery menu, select install zip from SD card → choose zip → select the ev_passion-4... zip. Wait up, it could take a while.
5. Success!! Right? Right. #adb kill-server, you can unplug now and won't need to plug back in! Reboot the phone, you're getting perilously close! This boot could take five plus minutes, or just one, but be patient.
9. Install Gapps.
1. You are such a lucky dog. Gapps bundled updates are available through the Evervolv toolbox. So you can get Play Store and everything else will come easy. Go to settings → wifi, turn it on, hook it up to your wifi router.
2. Back up to settings, and go Evervolv Toolbox → Updates and swipe over to the Gapps section. Tapp the most recent Gapps-kk zip. Tap the down arrow to download.
3. Reboot manually to recovery.
4. From the main recovery menu, select install zip from SD card → choose zip → select the gapps-kk... zip. This could also take a sec.
5. Reboot again! You're almost done! When it's all loaded up, Play Store should now be installed, as well as various google options that you can enable through the Evervolv settings.
10. Install Mounts2sd.
1. Go to the Play Store and get Mounts2sd.
2. Hit the top right corner for application settings. You'll need to install a startup script. Agree, give it permanent superuser status.
3. Reboot.
4. Go back into Mounts2sd, and go to the Tool menu (Wrench). Note that boxes aren't checked unless they're green-checked.
5. Enable the Cache to move cache partition to data or sd-ext. Storage threshold is up to you. Make sureApplications, Libraries, Data, and Media are all checked. Dalvik should stay unchecked, System apps can too.
6. Reboot again.
11. You're done!!! Or at least we're done. You still have to restore your apps and put all that music back on and figure out how to resync your contacts and... Good Luck.
12. If you want to get extra tricky, it's believed to be possible to leave app data on the real internal memory by default, and use Titanium Backup to move the data of most of your apps to the SD-ext, thereby leaving the data of your favorite apps on real internal memory. Use at your own risk.
ENJOY!!
Appendix 1:
Linux PATH env: I put all my android stuff in a file called androidy, so my path to my platform-tools was /androidy/adt/sdk/platform-tools, and my blackrose was in there too. So to set my PATH, I used: $ export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/sean/androidy/adt/sdk/platform-tools:/home/sean/androidy/adt/sdk/platform-tools/blackrose_120421/binary"
In order to make sure that while using it as root (as was necessary for some fastbot operations), I referenced the same PATH instead of the messed up root PATH, I used sudo env PATH = $PATH a few times.
Appendix 2:
The only actual bug I've noticed in a few days with this ROM is that my Chrome bookmarks don't add shortcuts to the homescreen when I tell them to from within Chrome. The widget-adder (longpress homescreen) has a bookmark option though, so if you bookmark it you can put it on the homescreen from there.
Huge Thanks to everyone involved with ClockworkMod, Cyanogen, 4Ext, BlackRose, and Evervolv!

Wooooh, Amazing book ! Everything is soo.... deep. In my opinion, tutorials should be only few lines.
Some mistakes :
Why installing CM7 and then backing up ? (You can install non market apps without CM7, and when flashing CM7 you erase all user data)
Why using m2sd if the rom has a built-in feature called a2sd ?
Why installing CWM then 4EXT recovery ? (TWRP is a touch one, and you can flash recovery once you have root access)
"You should have or buy an 8+MB, Class 10 SD card" ? typo ?
In my mind, big steps should be :
1) Backup SD, and SMS and Apps
2) Root
3) Install recovery (TWRP is advised by evervolv, but CWMRecovery is OK)
4) Partition SD
5) Install Blackrose (using 260mB system)
6) Flash ROM
7) Flash GAPS
8) A2SD Y N Y
Notes :
About SD-Ext size, i recommend reading this post from his creator : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
A2SD is an old version of INT2EXT+
Using terminal is not friendly for beginners. Avoid it at maximum.
Provide a link for a MD5 sum checker.
I don't know if it works with actual stock rom, but when i rooted my n1, i used SuperOneClick. Plug, Click, Wait, Smile. (I still have it if needed)

This tutorial doesn't need to exist at all. All the information is available elsewhere on the internet, I did nothing original. Its only value is that it puts all the information in full detail in one place so you don't have to look in the forums for elaboration on each line of a more concise tutorial. Hopefully with info this detailed, someone with more chops than me could script it.

I had already installed CM7 when I thought to write this, Marian (my 3rd source) seems pretty skilled as he is the only one who could make BlackRose work for me so I trusted his advice that it was the easiet procedure he found. Have you put TWRP Recovery on from stock after unlocking the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)? And have you successfully repartitioned SD (fat32 &ext4) from TWRP? If so and you want to quickly write up the steps, I'd gladly replace my steps 3-6, that would save people a lot of time and doing.

4EXT is also touch, CWM cannot repartition SD. If you can go stock to TWRP this might be the best option. Or if not, stock to 4ext.

Don't you have to use terminal to use the built in A2SD? At any rate, it didn't work for me (I'm kind of a beginner), Mounts2SD's GUI seemed a little more beginner friendly. Also I certainly wouldn't have been able to make BlackRose work

I don't know if it works with actual stock rom, but when i rooted my n1, i used SuperOneClick. Plug, Click, Wait, Smile. (I still have it if needed)

I once used SuperOneClick on another phone, it looked like it struggled and finally worked with a DDoS style attack, it seemed simpler to just do it the way the manufacturer intended (if that's even a thing). But I suppose if it works with one click it really is simpler as seen by the user. Anyone have a report on whether it worked from stock N1?

I had already installed CM7 when I thought to write this, Marian (my 3rd source) seems pretty skilled as he is the only one who could make BlackRose work for me so I trusted his advice that it was the easiet procedure he found. Have you put TWRP Recovery on from stock after unlocking the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)? And have you successfully repartitioned SD (fat32 &ext4) from TWRP? If so and you want to quickly write up the steps, I'd gladly replace my steps 3-6, that would save people a lot of time and doing.

On my first flash, i was pretty beginner, so i followed a tutorial ; ) . And they used CWM. But flashing a recovery procedure from .img file doesn't differ with the recovery. TWRP allows you to partition SDCard. I did it last week (on HTC wildfire S, TWRP 2.6 as for N1).
Flashing step is the same -> just replace img file name. You can get it Here (From official TWRP Website)
Procedure from TWRP Website said:
Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fasboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. This method requires that you have the drivers installed that come with the HTC Sync software that are available here. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.

6. Partition your SD Card
1. In recovery, Tap Advanced
2. Tap Partition SD Card
3. Set 2048 (MB max) on EXT Size and 0 on Swap Size
4. Tap EXT4 then swipe to start partitioning

3. Reboot your phone manually. BlackRose should hijack the startup, install itself, and quit. Boot your phone up again.

Backrose is a custom Bootloader-> it replaces your HBoot/Fastboot
You don't need to reboot your phone to install blackrose. You just need your phone in ADB over USB, then the win setup will install blackrose.
Once done, run setup again, your phone will automaticaly go to HBoot, then choose 1, and 1 again.
Then enter "resize", "260" and "8".
In case that the installer don't work correctly, you can get flashable HBOOT from [Provide a nb0 (texasice recommend 260/8/168) AND MD5 Checksum]
While googling to find some infos (I don't remember me unlocking my bootloader) I found this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Flashing_Guide
Apperently SuperOneClick does not even need unlocked bootloader on 2.3.3 or previous ...
Isn't what we are trying to write down ?
There are many links pointing to this forum aswell.
Hello!
This thread is to teach you how to flash TWRP, along with a custom ROM on your T-Mobile Galaxy S5 WITHOUT root!
DISCLAIMER:
Read the whole thread at least one before trying!
Anything you do to your device is your own decision. I am not forcing you to do this. If you screw something up during the process, that isn't my fault.
Custom ROMs can sometimes be unstable. PLEASE make sure you are downloading the correct file for your device model.
Tampering with your device's firmware, including custom recoveries, ROMs, or rooting your device WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Flashing a custom ROM WILL DELETE YOUR DATA. Consider backing up your apps, photos, videos, files, etc. online or to an external storage.
Before we start, we need to download a few things.
*Do not download anything with Safari! Safari unzips zip files, but we want them to stay zipped. DO NOT RE-ZIP THE FILE YOURSELF!!! It will not be zipped in the correct format!*
1. Odin v3.12.3: (Odin)
2. The TWRP recovery tar file: (TWRP)
3. Your custom ROM zip file. (There are many ROMs out there, but Lineage is a pretty good one: (Lineage OS klte) Choose the most recent release.) IMPORTANT: Make sure you download this to your phone's internal/external storage to an easily accessible location.
4. A GApps package. This is required if you want to be able to download apps from the Google Play Store. Go to the Open GApps page and choose ARM, and Android 7.1. You shouldn't need anything more that micro. IMPORTANT: This file also goes onto your phone's internal/external storage.
5. Your device drivers. Most of the time, Windows will automatically install the required drivers once you put in the device, but in the case this doesn't happen, try googling your devices model number and "windows drivers." Follow the process to install.
Alright, with that out of the way, let's install TWRP.
1. With your phone unplugged, boot into "Download mode." Power off your device. Then hold down the Power, Home, and Vol- buttons until you see a warning pop up.
2. Accept the warning by clicking Vol+.
3. Run the Odin exe file we downloaded earlier. (You may have to unzip the file first.)
4. Go to Options and disable auto reboot. Go back to the Log tab.
5. Plug your device into the computer. You should see Odin say "ADDED!" on the side.
6. Click "AP" and locate the TWRP recovery tar file we downloaded earlier.
7. Once you select the file, click "Start."
8. When finished, it should say "PASS" at the top. This is where you unplug your phone and remove the battery.
9. Wait 10 seconds before putting the battery back in.
10. Try booting into recovery by holding down the Power, Home, and Vol+ buttons. If it reads "Team Win Recovery Project" at the top, then congrats! You've successfully flashed TWRP! If it says at the top "stock recovery," try the whole process again from step #1.
Now we can flash your custom ROM!
1. This is where we wipe your phone's data. Click on "Wipe." Then Swipe to factory reset.
2. After you have wiped your device, click on "Install"
3. Now navigate to the ROM zip file and select it.
4. Click on "Add more zips"
5. Navigate to the GApps zip file and select it.
6. Swipe to install. This can take some time, so grab a cup of coffee and maybe check out my Youtube channel?
7. The moment of truth: click on Reboot, then System. The first boot can take a minute. If it doesn't show up after 5 minutes, remove the battery and try wiping and flashing again.
CONGRATULATIONS!! You've installed a custom ROM! Enjoy! :laugh:
EXTRA:
If you want to enable root on your Lineage OS device, you must flash an additional file first.
1. Go to this link and download the first su (arm) file and save it to an easily accessible location.
2. Boot into recovery mode once again by powering off your device, then pressing and holding Power, Home, and Vol+ until TWRP appears.
3. Click on install.
4. Select the su zip file we downloaded earlier.
5. Swipe to install.
6. Once it is installed, boot back into system.
7. Navigate to developer options in settings.
8. Scroll down to"Root Access" and change it to either Apps, or Apps and ADB.
Awesome, now you have root!
Thanks for the help:

I did not work for me, when I go recovery mode it shows:
Could not do normal boot
Odin mode.
I'm definitely not an pro at this, so can anyone help me please
Worked perfectly on the latest stock OTA!
Doesn't work for me. When I reboot in recovery ode, instead of TWRP loading I get a generic Android Recovery screen with a few options - reboot system now, reboot to bootloaded, apply update from ADB apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, mount /system, view recovery logs, power off. Now sure how to proceed....

We’re you sure to unplug and remove the battery? This is essential to ensure the phone powers down. If you just power down the phone will reset the recovery to avoid TWRP. You have to remove any power source to force a shutdown before it can reset. Please feel free to respond and I’ll be happy to help to the best of my abilities!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It worked perfectly in my SM-G900MD, and it's easier than the method suggested by the Lineage OS page itself. :good:
Thanks, these steps worked just fine on an SM-G900T, and were very easy to follow.
Thank you! This worked beautifully.
Only thing that didn't work the first time is, is that it told me to download the Gapps Android 8.1 file instead of 7.1.
I hear people talking of unlocking the bootloader in order to install a custom ROM. Why haven't you mentioned that in this article?
Had the "FAIL! (Auth)" problem with flashing TWRP with Odin.
It seems that after I have disabled Reactivation Lock (the standard feature that requires activation of the phone with Samsung account) it helped to succeed flashing TWRP.
Hi All,
Thanks for a great and useful guide. Whilst it says this can be achieved without root, which is fantastic... It doesn't mention anything about tripping Knox or not?? I assume this will trip the Knox counter, won't it ?? Or do this method bypass that ??
Thanks, Lister
adult supervision needed for Samsung S5 Lineage 17 install
Hi, I'm good with adb and fastboot, running Linux with the commandline Odin4. I can get the phone to the warning screen about the danger of installing other Roms. How do I proceed? What are the commandline options to use to flash the LineageOS 17 with odin4 ? The Odin4 help file isn't very helpful.
Could not do normal boot
I am not an expert at this and I am having the same issue as The Verg
I have a message at the top "Could not do normal boot" same as him
I've been at this for 2 days now I'm just about at my ends wit
My phone is a Samsung S5 Active model SM-G870W
and I can easily rooted it or reinstall the stock file and put it back to original
and I've done that hump time but this TWRP file I just can't install it
to update this phone to a more recent software and basically install
an S8 or S9 software in it (mind you version 9 Pie would be OK0
and make this old phone a real beast.
I read somewhere about the OEM button which does not exist on this phone
whatever explanation they are giving to unlock it and make the button appear
all of a sudden is bs in my book.
Now please help me with this phone and the other guy by the same token
Is there another way I can get into this phone and wipe it clean and
boot it with thru the abd file or access the sd card or the internal
storage of the phone.
How can I add a picture of my phone to this thread
