FIRST INTRUCTIONS

S-ON NEW BASE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (NOOB FRIENDLY)

**note: you must be booted on previous version, i.e.. MeanROM 2.7-3.4**

1. Nandroid (why wouldn't you?)

2. Download 3.6

3. Download flash image gui

4. Open flash image gui and navigate to mean rom 3.6 zip

5. Make sure "kernel image" is selected

6. Make sure both caches are selected

7. Then hit "flash image"

8. You will be prompted to reboot

9. In twrp wipe as normal and flash 3.6

10. Reboot & Profit! ￼

You can follow these steps for future releases as well

SECOND INSTRUCTIONS

s-on installation

Note that with s-on, TWO things must be flashed separately: the ROM ZIP and the kernel inside that ZIP. Starting with MeanROM ICS 4.0, the built in kernel installer (thanks Haus) will take care of this without any extra work on your part: just flash with TWRP! Follow the instructions below, however, so you'll know what to expect because there are some pauses and an extra reboot involved whenever the kernel in the ROM is updated.

Boot to TWRP recovery (hold vol down and press power for 1 second while you continue holding vol down until you see the bootloader, then choose "recovery")

Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!

On first install of MeanROM ICS, do a full wipe (at least a factory reset)

Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...

If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall

In TWRP recovery, choose "Install" and locate the ROM ZIP you downloaded.

If the kernel you are currently running is the same as the one in the ROM (most of the time it will be), it'll flash quickly and you can click "Reboot System" and you're done.

If the kernel has changed (as it did in MeanROM ICS 4.0), it'll sit on "Installing kernel, please wait..." for up to 5 minutes! Please be patient: that's the kernel installer doing its thing.

After the 4-5 minute pause, the script will complete and say done. Click "Reboot System" in TWRP at this point.

When booting the first time, the "MeanROM" boot animation will freeze momentarily and the phone will reboot once more. This is normal: the kernel just got installed!

Once the additional reboot has been done, the phone will boot normally. Again, keep in mind that the extra reboot only happens when the kernel in the ROM is updated, so it won't happen every time!

If you use OTA Updater (built in to the ROM) to update, steps 6-11 above happen automagically but the same delay and extra reboot will still happen whenever there's a kernel update.

After the first boot on a fresh install, go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.
