[Q] How to install Service Pack of PCFighters Rom?

Hi guys,
I am pretty new when talking about flashing android on my LG GT540. I managed to flash up to PCFighters latest CyanogenMod 7 (AOSP).
Right now I got only the basic version without the service packs. I get this version via the recovery modus of my phone and a custom rom on the sd. Unfortunately I have no clue how to install the patches ore a single boot file. I looked up for houres without luck. :-(
Can someone give me a hint. Don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks a lot!

erm advice you not use pcfighters rom for awhile as all this small patches will be inclueded on his next release and this is under active development and might be unstable at times.

With all service pack an latest boot.img this rom are very stabile. No fc, reboots, ets...
@topic you need to put sp on sd card and install via recovery. Latest boot.img shuld be installed via fastboot.

1. put SP 1 on SD card
2. install via recorey > install zip from SD > choose zip and install it
3. wipe data/factory reset in recovery
4. reboot and do the same with SP 2
---
5. either fastboot (know how to use it?)
or
5. put the boot.img on your SD card into: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/update
then in recovery select advanced restore and navigate to the boot.img
then wipe data/factory reset
and in recovery > advanced > wipe dalvik cache
nothing should go wrong if you do these steps
edit:
but like bs828 already said this rom is in development and so it'll get more updates than others but if you want to install it though you can do of course.

Dont have stable recovery or restore. Seems ruined recovery partition. Help!

I read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702
and I was eager to try to have Android 4.1 on Defy. Amazing that this guys put it on the defy.
I read the FAQ where it says;
Your phone has to be roooted.
► If this is the first time that you install custom rom (if you have stock froyo) you'll have to do some other things before this procedure. Please search the forum.
► Download all the files that you need and put them on the sdcard.
► Charge your phone until you have 80-100% battery.
► Make a backup of your apps and a nandroid backup of your rom (everything you have on your phone will be deleted).
It was rooted I have stock froyo, it doesnt say what to do before the procedure. I Imagine that it means that I need a Kernel for 2.3 or above.
I made a backup of apps with Titanium and I installed System recovery apk ( defy-recovery-1218-0326). I think this is Clockworkmod recovery... but not really sure, very nooby.I reboot the phone and back it up.
then I re read the part that says that i have other things before installing 4.1, so I decided to download CM9 kernel and sndinitdefy2.0 apk. I run the apk. After it booted in development mode i change the 2nd init with the recovery menu. then reboot again.
After that the screen only showed the Motorola Logo with a black screen.
I screwed up. So I decided to install RSD lite 5.6 to flash the original Froyo rom again to see if it works.
It did, I flashed it back, then I installed all over again, but when trying to install defy-recovery 1218 it fails.
so I looked for sndinitdefy and found the 2.3 version which i installed.
So now, I have stock froyo working again and sndinitdefy 2.3 installed, but dont know if its ok.
When I boot in developer mode, the screen says:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Android System recovery 3e
Android system recovery utility (which is unreachable with the volume keys.)
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
and then at the botom
e: cant open /cache/recovery/command
e: cant open/cache/recovery/caller.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I cant even recovery my aplication data because its not on the recovery menu.
Also in the FAQ it says go stable recovery. I dont know how to do that or what to install or to do.
1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to Install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash CM9 Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS).
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip.
6) Flash Gapps and Battery fix for red lens.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart.
2- it doesnt have advanced to wipe dalvik.
3-I have defy but red lens. it says to flash cm9 kernel, i imagine that i have to do it from install zip from sdcard and have the file on the phones root.
Anyway, my recovery screen is not ok and im not sure what to do. Can anybody help!?
narrowing the stuff.
I have Android 2.2 and a red lens defy with a faulty recovery menu sndinitdefy 2.3 and i want to install Android 4.1. Also I want to be able to go back if there is any trouble. please let me know how to go forward from here.
Also it would be great if I have the backup/restore menu in the recovery so I can restore my apps, but dont know how to do that.
Or maybe I should flash the CM9 kernel with RDS lite as i did with 2.2... but then again, i dont know if that is a fixed SBF or what, i dont want to screw my phone...
Thanks!
Ok, problem solved! I had to wait for the blue led to enter sndinitdefy2.3. I was entering elsewhere, To the Normal recovery I think.
installed from Custom Recovery instead of Stable Recovery. Stable Recovery was not available,but it worked perfectly for me, now running Android 4.1 and its AWESOME.

Dont turning on after install custom rom

Hi, after installing custom firmware (i tried 2 different) my A500 don't turning on. What do I wrong?:
1 downgrading to offical 3.0.1
2.install root
3CWM 1.7 >>1.7.3
4 v8 bootloader (first time didn't do that)
5 download to SD firmware and gapps
6 install firmware and then without rebooting(can this be the problem?) Install gapps
After rebooting device don't turning on only power button lighting. First time downgrade helps, but the second only flash recover((
What do I wrong and how to install custom rom without killing device?
P.s I need only 3g modem support, may be there is the way to install patch on offical firmware?
Sorry for English)

When you install a custom Rom, you have to wipe the original Data first. This is done in the CWM recovery which you installed.
When you boot to CWM Recovery, you have a menu item "Wipes"
In Wipes;
1. Data/Factory Reset (don't worry, it skips your photos and such)
2. Cache
3. Dalvik Cache
Wait, you're not finished.
Go back to the previous menu, and select "Mounts and Storage".
1. Format System
2. Format Flexrom
Now, go back to the previous menu, and select Install Zip from SD (or similar)
Install the Rom.zip you downloaded.
This should get you going. Note that it usually takes about 15 minutes for this process, so make sure you have a charged battery.
Also, just so you know, if you are running a stock rooted rom, there is an app called PPP in the 500 Apps and Themes forum, which allows you to use a USB Modem. So check it out.

You dont have to buy a new phone! Flash the original stock firmware using odin.. follow this guide by marcussmith2626.

Yes install the kernel that way.. then install your kitkat Rom through cwm recovery like i said in the steps

Restore to stock ROM without PC

Is there any way to restore the stock color os without using pc?

Are you on a custom rom with custom recovery ( r2x2, twrp, etc ... ) ?

AID to all

If you are in a custom recovery, then flash the stock recovery first. Keep the latest firmware of Color OS (ozip) from Realme's website downloaded into your SD Card. Steps:
1. Now boot to stock recovery.
2. Wipe internal storage from there.
3. Then tap on 'Apply Update from Storage'.
4. Select SD Card and select the ozip file downloaded and click confirm.
Yes, and your phone will boot up into the stock OS and thereafter if you wish, you can relock the bootloader and apply to exit in depth test to get future OTA updates.... Hope it helps !!!!!!

by following this mathod can i go back to color os 5.0 (i have locked bootloader)

You Can Try

If you already have a locked bootloader and installed pie-beta update already, then this process of downgrading might not work. However, you can try it. If that doesn't work you may have to install TWRP once again and clear the 'Internal Storage' in the Advanced wipe section again to remove your current version of Color OS, and then repeat the above mentioned process. Be careful !!! Do a full backup of your files and all personal info once again.
