[Q] MIUI rom update

hello...
Iam running miui 1.7.22. and looking to update to miui 1.8.5.
been search a litle around and are still litle unsecure on how to do this.
Do i just boot into aMAGLDR and go into boot ad sd and pick the rom from the SD card and install ?
just like i did when first installed miui 1.7.22.
Or have i forgoten some steps i need to do?
thanks for all the help ...

Yup that is ok
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

if you don't use clockworkmod it's ok. if you use cwm go into the recovery and chose install zip from sd.

And just btw you can back up your data using MIUI backup first, then restore everything when you have updated your ROM. If you're using CMR I believe you can just update the ROM without losing your data, but that depends on which MIUI ROM (I think the stock one can only be flashed using magdlr, so if you're using a SD version it must be from the forums?) you're using and it's better to check the individual threads for that particular ROM.

oh i forgot to say that.
Iam not running from sdcard. iam using [ROM] HTC HD2 Leo MIUI.us Presents MIUI 1.8.5 Fastest Version Yet Pure English [AOSP]
called runing from nand?
Likewei92: backup part isnt that importent realy. since its okay to reinstall eveything. Just helps me learn it bether
Thank for the respons to. .

[ROM] COUNTACH (based on B540, root, OC, supercharger, no FPS limit)

This rom is based on the official firmware B540, so android's version is 2.3.5. This is a rooted version of the B512 fw with many tweaks and improvements.
To install this rom you firstly need to upgrade to the official 2.3.5 fw (be careful: update to B512, not to B540). Then you need root permissions and the CWM recovery.
These are the links where you can find the HOW-TOs:
update to stock 2.3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326525
root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326525
recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276
DOWNLOAD: COUNTACH ALPHA2
even if the rom is named as alpha (because it is new and iy needs more tests), it is really stable and optimized for every-day usage.

Hi,
thank you for this work!
Anyway I have to ask you something about your custom rom.
Does your Rom have the quick settings widget in the status bar?
Did you fix the accelerometer problem? For example if you try to move on the street view (of Google Maps) with the compass mode, you understand that the accelerometer has a problem.
Can you explain what problems you solved from the stock 512 Gingerbread 2.3.5 rom from Huawei?
Thank you in advance,
regards,
kalo

the rom doesn't have the quick setting widget...but the current release is only the aplha0.
i have just tried with an app called "accelerometer test" if the accelerometer works but seems that it doesn't.
from stock B512 i have not solved any problem because, using it for a month, i have not found any kind of problem. mainly i have edited the build.prop and i have added some scripts to improve performance.

yes, you must upgrade to official 2.3.5 (B512) because basebands are different.
ps: this is not my 1st rom, i made 2 roms for O1

I know well your work,cause i own an O1 p500,,,,,but i don't use anyone cause i didn't wanted to change baseband with lgtool and i stay with mik's rom....and btw for O1 there are plenty of good roms to use.......
PS...i made a lot of changes on 3 weeks which i own u8800 pro and i made a really fast and fully functional stock rom 2.2.2,,,,i delete about 14 system apps ,edited build.prop,created init.d folder,some other modds and a little theming,,,,and i like it very much ........maybe i create a thread and a video to saw people how good stock rom can be made......
As you understand it's very difficult for me to change baseband,as i still couldn't found a way to downgrade again if i don't like the new baseband.......and i want to have my fm radio not loose it.....
Someone must cook a rom for .32 kernel(old baseband)

you need the boot.img from your phone (get it using the pink screen mode) and the stock update.app (the bigger one).
then extract the update.appusing dsixda kitchen, copy the system.img from working folder to original update and cook your rom.

2.9.29 is obsolete / new 2.9.29.1 Release at MiuiPortugal
I am not that active here at XDA mostly because I am moderator/tweaker/modder at MiuiPortugal
The 2.9.29 pointed at the first post on this thread was still related to the first RC's I compiled based on Geno's Miui (just like CrazyGamer)... With some help from turkish, russian and chinese miui members, I was able to get things working "almost" properly with 2.9.29.1, as I state on the official thread...
But future releases might improve performance and stability...
Kind regards

As i saw your official thread is not in english so maybe you could start new thread here on xda with change log and we could help you out with testing.

I have to remove the battery and reboot, only to find it has removed CWM recovery so I cant get back in to the phone again.

You can check yourself. Unzip rom file and look system folder's size, it is system partition size, i suggest to add 5 or 10 mb too for bad sector. Sorry for my English.
By the way, it doesn't work for me (v3.5.17), always restarting. I could'nt access desktop.

I tried. I used 280 system partition. If you have class 10 sd card you can use your sd card's ext partition as internal memory with this script: initrd_patcher_v2.zip. Everything is fine. v3.5.17 didn't worked because i think it's a bug. Because every older and newer version worked for me but 3.5.17 didn't worked. Sorry for my english.
