Ok, when it says "Reboot in to recovery" how do I do that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
first off make sure you have placed the new rom and gapps zip onto your ext sd...

to get into recovery, power off the phone then hold volume up, home and the power button, keep it held til a menu appears. i'll talk you through things using my phone aswell if needed but the instructions are quite straight forward :)

i'll be expecting you to come across one problem after the installation with finding your ext sd but will help you out with that aswell when its all installed and running again, save confusing you or you panicking when you cant find it like i did the 1st time round lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, so I go in to recovery (Which I'm guessing is still the stock one, and hasn't been changed since I rooted) and then do I boot in to clockwork recovery with the zip file like I did for when I rooted it? Or something else?

I realise this is probably straightforward, but I'm so scared I'm going to break something :(

Edit: Do I also have to do some sort of Nandroid backup thing? If so, how much memory will it take up, so I can make sure I have enough on my MicroSD?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
your probably find it will look different after rooting but its just a few extra options, that will be the clockwork recovery, usually it says it at the top of the screen, i use siyah kernel so mine will be slightly different but only some added options on mine otherwise the rest will be the same as yours

the nandroid is a safety thing, i would recommend doing it before flashing the new rom just incase anything goes wrong. the worst that will happen form now is a soft brick but i'll be able to help you through as much as possible so your end up with a fully working phone :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, and what's Nandroid backup, how do I do it, and how much free space do you recommend on my MicroSD for it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Yes with the CWM zip file you can make nandroid backup. It takes around 2gb space for me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
(I think I already posted this, but it's not showing)

But what is it, does it backup my current ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
It's literally 1 to 1 copy of your whole phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, so I boot in to recovery, choose to flash an update, choose the CWM file, make a nandroid backup, and then how do I flash CM9 and the Google Apps after that?

Also, I can't thank any posts as I've used my daily limit, sorry, you'll just have to accept me thanking in words ;D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
For CM9 follow instructions from their thread/webpage. Never had it so can't help you with this.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
once you have done your nandroid backup, thats when you want to follow the steps in the link for the installation :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Do I do the flashing straight away, or should I copy my Nandroid backup on to a PC first?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
You can copy it there if you want or to external card.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
So, I'm in "Android system recovery" what do I do here?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
what options do you have inside that? i always store my nandroid backup on a pc just to save space and know its safe still
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, so I chose "Apply update from external SD card" and chose ClowckWord Mod Recovery, I'm guessing that's what I was meant to do? I can always choose reboot and start over if you want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
all sounds fine so far, once that has installed it, reboot to recovery again and it should look different, with the options (in short)

-reboot

-install zip

-wipe data

-backup/

-mounts and storage

-advanced

there may be a few more but those are the usual ones your want to find
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
How do I flash it though? I'm in recovery mode, I just need to know what options to press, I will reboot and tell you the options I get in the stock recovery mode that appears:

Options:

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

edit: ninja'd
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Yes, 1st apply the CWM zip to get into CWM recovery.

Odoslané z GT-I9100 cez Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
MAKE SURE CWM IS INSTALLED FIRST AS MENTIONED IN ABOVE POST

do these in order and you should run fine

1. Reboot into recovery

2.Wipe Data / Factory Reset

3.Install the Main ROM

4.Hopefully your be prompted on screen, install gapps

DON'T LET IT REBOOT JUST YET

When you're back on recovery go to Advanced

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Fix Permissions

Wipe Cache Partition

Reboot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Wait.

I don't have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, I'm just using a temporary flash thing. So once I reboot, ClockWork is once again gone, and I have to load it up from the zip file each time. Did I miss something?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
CWM should be there all the time once you have installed it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Oh, I haven't installed it, where do I download it, and how do I install it? I'm using the thing from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 Which is just a temporary flash. Can someone tell me how to download the version that stays then? Or am I misunderstanding?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
After you apply the temporary CWM don't reboot obviously, but start with the CM9 installation steps.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, so once I'm in CWM I get these options:

Reboot System Now

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
have you got odin installed on your pc?

i can give you the links to how my phone is set up (using siyah kernel) and then you shud find that will install the CWM, unfortunately i've not used that method you used so not sure how your phone will be looking at the moment
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
I just posted up there what is happening :)

How do I install CM9 using this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
Thats what you were looking for :D now just follow the steps i gave you or the link (both the same i just changed aromer to gapps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Great! Just chose backup and restore, and then chose Backup. I guess that's the Nandroid backup thing, so it's doing that now.

Then I'll follow the steps in the link :D

Edit: My phone is fully charged, but is it alright to plug it in whilst it's doing this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
yeah that should be you nandroid, save that on your ext sd or you pc. then your good to go on with the rest to install the custom rom :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, is it normal that the loading bar isn't moving? It says that I have 1927MB free on my SD card. It just moved from backing up system to backing up data and it currently says this:

It should be in clockworkmod/backup folder.

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
personally i cant remember where it goes but easiest thing to do is check each folder (ignore anything that is related to your apps) it will probably say a file with todays date and time, rename it as nandroid backup so you dont accidently delete it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, with backup now on computer, I will proceed to flashing :D I'm guessing I just use the guide you (tigerphil) posted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
the guide or link, both the same just changed aromer to gapps :) that will give you a clean install so your not wasting memory on left over things. once you've done that i'll help you through restoring your apps and check if you can find your ext sd, it will more likely end up being moved but theres fixes for it, but will go through that when you have flashed everything and its rebooted and running :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Just a quick check before I start, since I'm using a zip file of clockwork recovery stored in my external sd card, will that get affected by the factory reset, or is the external sd unaffected?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
Anything on ext sd will get left alone when you do you wipes :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Great! time to start!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
So, I've done Wipe Data/Factory reset. How do I install the main ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
Hopefully it will all go fine, once your done and rebooted let me know and i'll give you the fix for your ext SD, if its needed, ext sd usually becomes emmc on some roms esp the CM roms and tell you how to restore your apps etc but its all easy enough :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Help! What do I click now? I've done the factory reset thing, but I don't know what to click next:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
you want to go into CWM and install zip for sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > find the rom and select to run it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Mine's on the external sd card. I thought that was what I was meant to do? Should I reboot the phone and put it on the internal one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
no you should still be able to find it, all mines on the ext sd aswell, if it says it can not be found, select choose zip from internal storage, your get a list come up, scroll to external and it will be there
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:

Sorry. Do you know how to get out of "mounts and storage" in ClockworkMod Recovery?

Edit: Got out myself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
you shouldn't need to go into mounts and stoarge

to start the installation your need to go install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (hopefully its there) if its not then do, install zip from sdcard > choose zip from internal sdcard > external_sd/ (should be there if not in the 1st place)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
So, when I click "Install zip from SD Card" I just get a picture of a box with an arrow pointing to an android.

Should I reboot and try again?

Edit: clicking on anything brings that icon up. I have not tried rebooting. Have I bricked it. I'm scared.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
i've never had that come up, you can see what happens if you click that box, if its likely to make any changes to the phone you be asked for confirmation 1st just dont press yes unless you know its your rom, no one else will be able to see whats going on with your phone except you so the risk of a brick will come in. if your rom is found and you know its the rom then you can confirm to install it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
I don't get it. I click anything and that comes up. I have to press the power button which brings me back to the main menu. If all files on my phone were deleted, would I be able to restore the Nandroid backup?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
have you tried pressing on the box and see if it opens up other options? things should still be in your phone, but incase things have gone missing then thats where the nandroid saves you, thats why basically every post on the forum advises the backup :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Clicking the icon does nothing

At the bottom of the screen on the clockwork recovery mod it says

ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5

--Wiping data...

Formatting /data

Formatting /cache

Formatting /sd-ext

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure

Data wipe complete.

No files found.

No files found.

Back menu button disabled

I guess I'd be able to restore with the default android recovery thing if something has gone wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerphil:
your be able to restore things easily either through CWM or odin so nothings lost, if you cant find the new rom i'd suggest restoring the nandroid so you got a running phone again and start fresh. took me a while to do my 1st root and custom rom, hit plenty of soft bricks etc in the past and theres always a way to fix things and get to where you want to be :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackfifield:
Ok, so if I reboot my phone, and can't get in to CWM I can do it through Odin, right? How would I flash it through that?

you can do anything that kies and your phone can do with odin but as the above post says, a screen shot if possible could be good so we can see what you have got. i know of a few people including myself that have saved their phones through odin, its always worth having it installed on your pc just incase its needed :)

You can't do anything from that screen except return to the main menu by pressing power or home.

Hmmm :/ I'm worried that it's wiped everything. I'm also scared to restart the phone, as surely if the CWM is stored on the external sd, then if it's wiped everything I won't be able to get back?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:

Is it saying you're out of storage space?

Try clearing your market data.

Settings>Apps>Play Store>Clear Data

This will change your market settings back to stock and remove your recent market searches...

But other than that you won't lose anything and it might remedy the situation.

I uploaded the screenshots via my Galaxy Nexus and just noticed it's not showing them.. in market it said: ERROR: "Insufficient storage available", i can install other apps but not the ROM Manager!

I should clear market data and cache but I'm not sure does it help because it just can't install this one application and I have 6 GB free memory, I gonna clear market data and then I try to install it again.

But Thanks anyway for the reply!.. :)

No, don't use any scripts. If they really save battery, then it will save only 2-3 hours. That means you will spend more time for searching and tweaking than for really using your phone juice. The only thing which can speed up or save your baterry is over/underclock.

So, I've noticed the ''beatsaudio'' logo on the back of my One S is slowly disappearing. Kinda small detail, but still not nice to see that after only a couple of months, the phone shows (small) quality error like this.

Who else has this?
[HTC One S] lykos:
My fiancee's is completely removed and mine just has the beats part removed.
[HTC One S] Senzune:
I removed it with a metal 3.5-6.5mm audio jack converter, on the grey version. Definitely not recommended on the black version. The grey version seems resistant to any kind of scratching, whereas the black version.. well, you know the issues with the black version.

[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
Sorry to hear that.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Mine either. Grey and it doesn't even scrape off. At least it's greyscale and not red. Odd, on my MT4G, the "non slip" back of the battery cover would scrape off with a fingernail but the paint on this logo seems impervious to removal.
[HTC One S] Senzune:
Not at all. A metal audio jack will do on the grey version without leaving any scratch. I used much force doing so, as well. Make sure to test it first: slightly try to scratch the back of the device with the jack. If you see a "scratch" appearing, wipe it of with your finger. It's only metal dust from the jack. (as long it's not a true gold jack or anything, just a regular lightweight metal.) If you don't see any real scratch as result (if you actually did get a scratch it would be barely noticeable, if not pushed too hard), it's pretty safe to scratch of the logo.
[HTC One S] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
I was thinking maybe some goo gone would do the trick. I once used a common household cleaner to clean my toaster and it wiped the Hamilton logo right off. I was like wtf but come to think of it, it may have been a mixture of ammonia/water or 409.

Sadly my phone has been dropped a few times before the otterbox so it’s got a few minor scratches on the edge and the plastic pieces themselves are pretty dinged up.
