hey guys,
i have one (very important to me) question.
I´m using MIUI ROMs on my HD2 and as you might know every week a newer version is comming out.
Yesterday i created a knew ext3 partition for my current ROM.
Can i flash the new ROM like an update or something else ? So i don´t have to create a new partition and install all apps again ?.... I am using of course MAGLDR and Clockwork Mod....
I would be glad to get an answer to this ...
Thanksss....
As long as it's just a newer version of the same rom, just go into CWM, go to backup/restore, and make a backup. Then flash the new rom, and then in CWM, go into backup/restore again, and do a custom restore, restoring only data and sd-ext.
Then the only difference you will notice is the new rom, not the loss of apps and data.
To update version of same MiUi Rom:
copy the new ZIP file to SD card.
reboot to recovery
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
DON'T WIPE DATA
Flash the new Zip file.
All your apps are there with the new ROM.

Hey,
I tried installing Android using cwm rec., everything goes well, but the android does not boot, it gets stuck on the booting screen, i tried several time, diff roms, still no results, can any one help me if im missing something? :S
make sure you are removing any leftover stuff from a previous rom on the SD card.
So in CWM, before you go to flash the rom, do a 'wipe data/factory reset' which should clear out the ext partition and the .androidsecure (or whatever its called) folder on the FAT32 partition.
I have done that, but it wont work, i've cleared cache too,
Btw how much time does it take on the first boot?
dont know, sorry, i've never used a sense rom, but i've seen posts referring to a good ten minutes or more, depending on the sd card and teh rom being installed, and how much stuff is moved to sd. Some roms just put just the app and dalvik folders there, some put much much more.
If it were me, i recon id be pulling teh battery at 10 mins.
do you have a 1gb partition on your sd card?
is the partition information for the rom correct?
are you using magldr or clk?
I have Tried wit a 2GB and a 1GB partition, I have Magldr 1.13, The Cwm size is also correct, 400mb for a 300mb rom.

You're absolutely sure the ROM you're trying to use is correct for the type of Android bootloader you have? (clk/magldr)
Did you check the MD5 sum of the rom.zip you downloaded? Maybe you got a bad download.
Did you wipe EVERYTHING? (full wipe, then in advanced, wipe dalvik and cache)
What method did you use to partition your sd card?
For now i Have followed the exact instructions from the DHD Desire rom, and it seems to work, I think the problem was wit the CWM recovery, I downloaded it from the Rom's page and it worked.
When I tried installing another Rom, I encountered the same prob, so I installed recovery again and it worked. Do I have to keep changing the recovery every time I put another Rom?

Yeah, some roms require different partition layouts, which are made when you flash CWM recovery.
If you are going from one rom to another and they both require the same partition layout, or if the new rom you're flashing requires a smaller system partition than your current rom, then you won't have to re-flash CWM. In that case, you'd just have to do a full wipe and then flash ur new rom.
The required/recommended CWM partition size is usually somewhere in the first few posts of the thread you download the rom from.

Greetings all,
I have the i9500 S4,
I was running Hassan Rom and everything was fine, yesterday i've tried to boot the OzcanRom, and kept getting the (process.media. and process.phone not working)
The phone was not working, and after multiple tries of rebooting the said rom, i decided ill go unroot it and install the stock official rom (as i need my mobile for work etc...)
What i did is wipe the dalvikcashe and the system files (which i think was wrong) and tried to flash the stock rom via Odin the old simple way.
Everything went fine, when my mobile turned on again, i kept getting the same messages:
(the proccess android.process.media... & the proccess android.process.acore... & the proccess android.process.phone... Unfortunately email has stopped...& the new message Unified Deamon (EUR) has stopped.
The mobile is useless, can't access anything, can't connect to USB media so i can backup the files, can't connect to WIFI as it restarts...
Please help me guys as soon as possible i really need my mobile for my work...
(Preferably without a full wipe, or if necessary offer a backup way for my gallery)
Should i try installing a different stock rom? as i chose one from SamMobile that was the closest to my region...
Perform a factory reset. You can do that from the recovery or from within android. Make sure to backup the files on your internal storage.

Thank you for the reply.
I can do that, but i can't backup the files as nothing on the phone is working, pressing the gallery button for example, leads to the (process.media not working) message.
Any other solutions? i don't understand, isn't flashing a stock rom supposed to solve all these issues? should i try flashing another version of the Roms (different region perhaps)?
It does solve it, but you need to factory reset.
What I would do:
- Flash a custom recovery.
- Do the wipe option prepare for new rom.
- Flash stock/custom rom.
That way your internal storage won't be wiped.

Great, Got me relieved when you said internal storage won't be wiped.
Thank you for the reply, i don't want to be a pain in the ***, but could you please explain a few things,
What i'm gonna do is, flash a custom recovery (please recommend one that has the wipe for new rom)
Then, Do the wipe option, which wipe option, the recovery i had had only 1 wipe option, how do i know its not the one that's gonna wipe my data)
Finally, ill flash the rom. (Do i need to root my device again then? to flash a custom rom, if yes, im just gonna go with stock rom and let my mobile work for a few days where i need it then root and install a custom rom again)
I really appreciate your help, and your prompt answers.

- You can use Philz recovery
- You know the wipe option when you see it. The one that say prepare for new rom. No custom rom will wipe your internal storage. That option is somewhere hidden.
- You don't need to root, just flash.
ps you will lose all your apps. It will not wipe your internal storage.

Hi Guys,
I have a bootloop and I think I need to reflash the official rom to get things working again. I have TWRP installed and dont want to lose that.
Where can I download and what are the instructions to flash the official rom so I dont lose TWRP? Thanks!

If you can still get into TWRP, there is no need to install a stock ROM. If you do, you will not only have to reinstall TWRP, but it will also encrypt your data partition. Just make sure that you perform a wipe to do a clean install of whichever ROM you choose. Also, if you haven't ever formatted the data partition, that will prevent from backing up or installing a custom ROM. If that is the case, make sure you copy any files you have saved because, unlike a wipe, formatting the data partition will delete EVERYTHING on that partition.
Hi ? all,

Bcz the old one has some issues.
Tell me what should I do (process )?

Boot to recovery (I reccomend orangefox) wipe cache, dalvik, data, system > flash rom > flash gapps (optional) > flash magisk (optional) if after reboot it ask for password you have to format data (i've noticed that if you flash magisk before booting the system the password isn't required). If you come from miui maybe you need to flash vbmeta before rom (i'm not sure but it doesn't hurt)

When you wipe system you delete the previous os (rom) installed then you flash the new os (rom). Wich rom do you want to install?

If you don't have SD Card then don't wipe Internal Storage. But Clean Flash always recommend.

Ok so if you want to reinstall your app and data after flashing the rom you can backup with titanium backup or migrate. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, system and data after this flash the rom (you can flash it from internal storage) after the rom without rebooting to the system flash gapps (optional) and magisk (I reccomend to flash magisk so you can restore the backup and it avoid to have the problem with password request). Reboot to system

Maybe you have wiped also internal storage or format data? If you wipe just cache, dalvik, data and system you must found the files in the download folder.
