Partition SD Card:

2. When phone is off, press Home and Power buttons at the same time to start into recovery.
3. Select Partition sdcard.
4. Select Partition SD.
5. Press Home to confirm.
6. Use trackball to select minimum swap-size of 64 MB (I use 96 MB).
7. Press Home to set swap-size.
8. Press Home to set Ext-size of 512 MB. FAT32-size will be the remainder of the sd card.
9. Press Home to confirm and partition.
10. Press Home to confirm.
11. Exit.
Install ROM:
1. Download the cooked ROM
2. Save the ROM to sd card
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe Dalvik-cache
5. Wipe SD:ext partition
6. Flash ROM
7. Reboot
8. Let the rom take its time.
9. Open AutoKiller, click Menu, select/click Presets, select/click Optimal.
10. Open SupSetup and activate JIT.
11. Open TasKiller and set SupSetup and AutoKiller to ignore (not sure if this matters, but I don't want TasKiller to shutdown these 2 apps)
12. Configure phone settings, set up accounts, sync, etc.
13. Reboot.

do you have android SDK at all ? at some folder extracted? if so , you have to either cmd to that folder and then run fastboot command, or put it in path of windows, and then you can call it from any folder...

You, who have urukdroid installed on sd, please do this steps:[/COLOR]
1) Search for the (commented) Topic "Mount Partitions"
2) The third line under this Topic is commented. (with a #)
3) Uncomment it by erase the #.
4) Now change the line from "mount |____| /data noatime nosuid" (i forgot the middle-part) to "mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data noatime nosuid"
(if you use Urukdroid from sd card you have to change the line to "mount /dev/mmcblk2p3 /data")
5) Now search a Topic called "First Boot Logo" (or so) with only one line under it.
Warning: You just have to do this 2 following steps, if you dont have the A70 S or H

25) Boot your Archos into the normal Archos Android and connect it with your PC. (You can choose if you use Ubuntu or Windows for this, i used windows)
26) Open the file, named menu.lst.
--> If you do it on Windows, be sure you open it with Notepad ++ (can downloaded here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/release/5.9.2) and that you have enabled the UNIX line endings! (Edit>>EOL Conversation>>UNIX)
27) Add the line:
Code:
UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk1p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0
If you use Urukdroid from SD Card you have to change "/dev/mmcblk1p2" to "/dev/mmcblk2p2".
28) Save the file and "exit" your Archos safely and reboot your Archos.
29) Boot Up your Archos, now you should see a new Option, to choose, named "Urukdroid".
30) You now have Urukdroid running on the openAOS Boot Menu!

Editing the menu.lst
Editing the menu.lst
This Tutorial is for the more powerful users!
The menu.lst say to the openAOS Boot Menu, which OS are installed on the Device.
The Standart menu.lst, automatically created by the menu on first boot up, looks like:
Code:
Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1
Lets investigate a normal line:
Code:
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1
----1---|2|-----3----|-----4----|5
1) The first Part is the name, that is showed on the Boot Menu.
2) The second Part (empty here) is the Developer/producer of the Rom/OS/Image
3) The third Part is the name and directory of the Image File to Boot.
4) The fourth Part is the directory of the root of the Imaeg/Os.
5) The fifth Part is the SGX Overlay Version, you have to set :
"1" for a Linux/Debian OS/Image
"0" for a Android Os/Image
Editing the menu.lst on Windows
If you want to edit the menu.lst on Windows you have to use Notepad++ for this. (can downloaded here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download)
You have to be sure, that you have enabled the UNIX Line Endings!
(Edit >> EOL Conversation >> UNIX)
If its "grayed-out" its okey, if not just click on it.
The most maked fault
The most maked fault is this:
Code:
Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0 [BREAK]
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1 [BREAK]
Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0 [BREAK]
This menu.lst dont work!
It has to be:
Code:
Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init|0 [BREAK]
Angstrom||/rootfs.img|/sbin/init|1 [BREAK]
Ginger-bread||/openaos-gingerbread.img|/init|0 [BREAK]
[BREAK]
You have to add a empty line! (Not just press "Enter" once when you are on the end of the last (gingerbread here) line, you have do it twice!)
After that you have to be 2 lines below the last OS line!

Install Google-Apps on Cyanogen
These Instructions are about getting the Google-Applications on Cyanogen.
(Like: Market,Sync,Talk,Backup,..)​1) First install a Root File Explorer (I recommend this free one: https://market.android.com/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.TaskManager )
2) Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?5iu9zvrq0ns6w15
3) Extract all apks out of the zip.
4) Copy all extracted apks to /system/app and reboot your device.
5) When your device boots up you should get to the "Start Up Wizard".
6) Here you have to create or sign in to your Google-Account.
7) Now you have all Google-Apps on Cyanogen!

Great summary, thanks a bunch

after doing ur how to for Urukdroid it didn't work ; but i'm root now on the original firmware i dont know how or why super user is working... god damn it
with full read and write

Just as a note.
If you have a A70s/h you don't need step 24 in Uruk configuration as our Display is mounted correct.

I can't startup my urukdroid in A101. I have tried below two lines in my config.
I can see it will start to boot Urukdroid, but after that it will switch to ARCHOS animation screen and wait for a long time.
UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk2p2||/init|0
For this one, it will also start to boot Urukdroid at the first time, then it switch to ARCHOS animation screen and boot up android stock firmware.
UrukDroid|/dev/mmcblk2p2|/rootfs.img|/init|0

Your howto works fine, thank you very much.
But I have a problem - maybee simple.
On my Archos 101, after booting gingerbread (last bubu image) all stands upside down (bootmenu, afterwards the ADW screen). I just have checked all in the CM settings, so ADW become right, but some apps (like camera) won't follow and stay upside down .
What have I misdone?

The 101 will still have problems with the camera, etc. Display output is reversed, and the accelerometer has been reversed as well to cope with it. Eventually we'll get the display reversed instead of the accelerometer. Speaking of the camera, can you use it? I can't as the sdcard isn't mounted properly.

[Q] help flashing original wildfire rom

hi i am getting really frustrated. I'm trying to go back to my original wildfire rom i don't care if its not the telstra original i just need any original. i currently have cyanogenmod7.03 that i installed myself. how do i install the original rom i have booted into that special mode via holding volume down and power down. and i have downloaded some original roms from shippedroms.com and put them on my microsd on my wildfire. help would be appreciated greatly, i have read other threads regarding this but i don't know what to do. i have rooted my phone also.

RUU's from Shipped ROM's are EXE Files. Connect your Wildfire to your PC. and run the EXE File. That's it.
You will lose root though, if you flash an RUU.
Alternately, you can flash this ROM as well. It's stock 2,2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Short Guide for the second method:
- Download the ROM I listed above, and this attachment called update1.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Place both files on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery ("Special Mode" - As you say)
- Once in CWM (Clockworkmod), Select "Install Zip from SDCard")
- Then, select the update1.zip file you placed in Step 1
- Clockworkmod Recovery will reboot, and will start in v2.5.0.7, characterized by Green text
- Here, now select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, again select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- This time, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM.

ok ill have to try the second method because i have an iMac not a pc, and i was browsing through the clockworkmod recovery mode earlier on.

can i use the telstra rom i downloaded from specialroms.com instead of the one you linked me? then follow the second method?

i can't choose update.zip from install zip from sd card because its not a zip, when i click on it, it opens up with three more folders of meta inf, res and sbin. what should i do?

Don't select the option choose update.zip.
First, restart your phone in Clockworkmod:
- Then, select "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD"
- Here, select an option "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD"
This will open a tree structure on your sdcard to browse, then select the required Zip file.
I cannot comment on your specialroms.com ROM, because I haven't seen it at all. I have no idea what sort of a ROM you are talking about.
=====================================
Alternately, if you are ok with flashing an RUU, you can extract the ROM.zip from the EXE RUU on a Linux/Mac device using OpenRUU here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711296
Once you get the ROM.zip from the Telstra EXE RUU, then
- Rename the ROM.zip file to PC49IMG.zip
- Place on your sDCard
- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (ie - Select Volume down + power. Don't select anything after this). The bootloader will detect the ROM file and attempt to install it automatically.

i just converted the update folder to a zip file on my computer maybe this will work.

Dear God, don't mix the two up. I specifically inserted the line break between the two so you get what I mean. It seems you don't.
Follow ANY ONE OF THESE
FIRST METHOD (RUU)
- Download your Telstra RUU from Shipped ROM's.
- Extract the Rom.zip from the RUU using OpenRUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711296- Rename the ROM.zip file to PC49IMG.zip
- Place on your sDCard
- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (ie - Select Volume down + power. Don't select anything after this). The bootloader will detect the ROM file and attempt to install it automatically.
FIRST METHOD ENDS HERE
===========================
SECOND METHOD (SAFE FLASH FROYO)
- Download the the SAFE FLASH ROM, and this attachment called update1.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...3&d=1311319218
- Place both files on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
- Once in CWM (Clockworkmod), Select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- Then, select "Choose Zip from SDCArd"
- Then, select the update1.zip file you placed in Step 1
- Clockworkmod Recovery will reboot, and will start in v2.5.0.7, characterized by Green text
- Here, now select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, again select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- This time, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM.

No, I don't. Unless you clarify a lot more on what you did, and what problem you are facing, I will most certainly not be able to infer what you mean. The first zip you flash (update1.zip) is supposed to be like that. You should see Clockworkmod with Green Text, and v2.5.0.7 written below. If you see that, the first part is successful.

Yes, it is supposed to take just half a second. It will only give you Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7. It's the sole purpose of update1.zip.
But, since you have Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 (I wish I had known this earlier - I assumed you S-OFF'ed using Revolutionary and had the new version with orange text), you can skip a lot of steps.
Now, just simply follow these. (It's a re-written second method, if you will)
- Download the the Safe Flash ROM Zip file only. You don't need update1.zip
- Place the file on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
- Now, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- Then, select "Choose Zip from SDCard"
- Now, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM when rebooting is done

ok. followed the instructions exactly i selected safe buzz froyo.zip and it loaded for about 1second as if it was installing. then the clockwork mod menu appeared again and i rebooted the phone. but it loaded as cyanogen 7 so it didn't work. how long is it supposed to take to install? 1 second? do i need to do something to my microsd card? like make it a gold card or something? I've heard that word before.

No, you don't need a Goldcard for flashing the Safe Flash ROM. (You would have needed one only if you followed the RUU method).
ROM install should take a lot more time than 1 second. Also, it is surprising how Cyanogenmod 7 is loading. Did you not perform a 'Wipe Data' in Clockcowkrmod, as I have stated?
Also, check your ROM file size, make sure the file size matches, and see if you can catch the error message that comes on Clockworkmod when it reboots after 1 second when installing the ROM.

the rom file size is about 120mb. i did perform a wipe data before i attempted to install the rom. yes i will try and see what message comes on the screen in that one second of the rom loading. the phone doesn't reboot after i press install rom, it goes back to the clockwork menu then i hit reboot. i will try again.

[Q] Feedback to [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS) #213 on page 22

Am 10 postings away from being allowed to join the original discussion.
Have ICS 4.0.4 OTA upgrade to ...-P6800XXLQ1-...
Used the procedures and data from Attached Files of posting #213 by kable in #213 in

CWM installed well from recovery.
But CWM did not install root.zip!
Error message:
CWM Recovery v5.8.1.5
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
What could have gone wrong? What further details are needed to find a remedy? What else is needed to root successfully?

Updates:
I have found solutions after reading all posts related.
If you have just PC Odin an unrooted SGT 6800 into ICS, your SGT now cannot be rooted. What I have done thereafter is as follows:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
5. Once done, choose reboot.
Now you new ICS is rooted.

Which zip and which sdcard, that is the question.
Hi ronnieho,
thanks for your quick response and help. I am sure you will get me running. Please give me some more details which due to my lack of experience I feel to be missing.
Please let me explain this, then you will know which details still trouble me:
Last week I managed to root my ICS SGS2 following these instructions:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
It is in german, but based on the original thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
The german instruction was very specific about which zip to put into which (internal or external) sdcard.
The english XDA instructions are not that specific about these obviously very important details.
Would you please add these details to your instructions:
1. PC Odin CWM 5.5.0.4 into my 6800;
Does this mean, place CWM.zip into the external sdcard (i.e. /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard) of the 6800?
From the threads refered to in my first post I have CWM 5.8.1.5. May this work too? Or must it be CWM 5.5.0.4? Where can I get CWM 5.5.0.4?
2. set-up your 6800 into recovery mode ( press power & vol-up same times, release power button once your see active screen, then release vol-up button as well, you will be in CWM recovery mode;
Yes, this is how I get into recovery mode.
3. goto zip from sdcard; toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
goto _which_ zip from _which_ sdcard.
Rooting my SGS2 I used
- install zip from sdcard
Here _sdcard_ meant the external sdcard
And _zip_ meant CWM.zip.
Is this also true for your instruction step 3?
toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable;
Where/to what item should I apply these instructions?
4. then choose zip from internal sdcard; from there you should choose root.zip ( this root.zip was saved into your external sdcard in advance.)
So far I did not save any zip to the internal sdcard?
Should I have saved root.zip into the internal sdcard in step 1?
Which root.zip? Remember, I have CWM.zip and root.zip from the Attached Files of posting #213 by kable in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
Can I use these files or should I download different zip-files? From where?
Sure, I could simply try out my questions, but I am afraid to brick my Tab.
Another important detail may be that I did not use Odin to copy the zip files to the tap. In my successful rooting of the SGS2 I simply used the USB MTP connection and copied the zip-files like I copy video and audio files, and it worked. I would prefer to keep this copy practice also regarding the Tab7.7. Or must I copy with Odin? Why? Do I miss something if I copy in MTP mode? Does Odin do a different copy? Does Odin copy to different/specific sdcard locations?
I am confident that using your instruction will make the difference. Please give me the details which I feel to be missing.
Thanks!

Took the risk - Success, at last!
Since I did not get any more helpful answers, I had to reconsider the situation. Finally I decided to take the risk by using a best of
a) the xda-developers [GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112
, e.g. postings #1 by Jade Eyed Wolf, #213 by kable, #227 by ronnieho, #230 by mashkuov, etc.
b) aljee77 guide for the SGS2
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...-stock-ics-firmware-ohne-flashen-kernels.html
Trusting that the xda-developers zip-files, CWM.zip and root.zip, will be ok for the Tab7.7
and hoping that the aljee77 procedure will also work as well for my Tab7.7 as it has worked for my SGS2,
I took the risk and finally succeeded to root my Tab7.7.
My successful procedure (Thanks to aljee77 and mashkuov):
1. Data preparation (zip-files)
1.1 Downloaded CWM.zip and root.zip to my computer from mashkuov, post #230 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=23
1.2 Copy these zip files from my computer to respective sdcard in my tab.
I have the Samsung Kies drivers installed on my computer. But I do not use Odin. I connect the tab and the computer with the USB data cable and simply use the USB MTP connection. I simply copy the zip-files like I would copy video and audio files by simple Windows Explorer file-drag/drop between the the source/target location icons.
1.3 I copy CWM.zip into my _external_ SDCARD
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Card
on the tab: /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard)
1.4 I copy root.zip into my _internal_ SDCARD ( /sdcard/ ) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
(on the computer: GT-P6800/Tablet
on the tab: /sdcard/)
2. Temporary installation of CWM Recovery:
- Reboot to recovery:
2.1 Download and install LATEST SAMSUNG KIES (or stand-alone USB drivers if you can find them)
2.2 Transfer CWM.zip to the EXTERNAL CARD on Galaxy Tab 7.7 (already done in step 1.3)
2.3 Turn off the Galaxy Tab 7.7
2.4 Enter Recovery
- Hold Volume UP button + Power Button
- When TAB turns ON, RELEASE POWER BUTTON (Keep Holding Volume UP Button)
* Will Enter Recovery
2.5 In the following basic menu use Volume Up/Down to navigate and Power OFF to select/accept options!
- Choose apply update from external storage.
- Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appears.
* Now a temporary CWM is installed and activated.
* This CWM recovery is only a _temporary_ CWM and will be gone after reboot!
* see #217 by vegaman: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28300775&postcount=217
3. Install root
* Once the CWM recovery appears:
* _Touch-screen_ to navigate and to choose an option!
- install zip from sdcard (1st CWM menu)
- choose zip from internal sdcard (2nd CWM menu) <--- aljee77 procedure <--- :good:
- toggle signature verification & script asserts to disable <--- ronnieho #227 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112&page=22
- +++ GO BACK ++++ (from 2nd to 1st CWM menu)
- reboot system now (1st CWM menu)
* After reboot your tab will be rooted and temporary CWM will be gone.
4. Enjoy!
Now the tab is rooted! Temporary CWM is gone.
Now you can download Superuser App and Superuser Elite App (both by ChainsDD) from the market.
5. If you want a permanent CWM see #220 by Handymeister: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28319010&postcount=220
- after installing temporary CWM I flashed the root.zip with it.
- then reboot
- with root I flashed the CWM with Mobile Odin and that works fine and is now resistant again

[GUIDE] How to flash Android on the HTC HD2 (LEO) with MAGLDR for Noobs

Introduction
Hey guys, I recently flashed Android 4.0.4 on the SDCard of my HTC HD2 to revive it from the dead and it worked! Although, when I was working on it, it wasn't necessarily easy and the ressources were incredibly hard to find. So I am sharing this handy guide here to make it easier for any begginers that want to bring their HTC HD2 back from the dead. Since I am also a beginner there could be mistakes or complicated sections in my guide which I would be very glad if they get pointed out below in the comments!
Happy Flashing!
Dan6erbond
NOTE: Flashing Android to the internal storage (NAND Flash) is easier and runs smoother. The HTC HD2 unfortunately only has 512 MB of internal storage which makes it almost a must to do a NativeSD Flash if you are interested in installing apps on it. If you are going for the NativeSD Flash, make sure your SDCard is at least a class 6 for a usable experience and has a capacity of >= 8 GB. I recommend using a Version of Android older than 4.0.4 to get the smoothest experience.
Steps
Unlock Bootloader with HardSPL4
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Turn off any Anti-Virus Software in case your Anti-Virus Software blocks any of the programs you try to run or files you try to download.
2. Download the HardSPL4 Package and save it in an empty folder you've prepared for all the files you will need.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run HSPL4.exe
6. Read everything and click next.
NOTE: If you plan to use MAGLDR, make sure to select HSPL2.08 in the HSPL4.exe program.
7. Once the phone has rebooted you can turn it off for now.
8. Done!
Install the latest Radio
You need to install the latest Radio on your HTC HD2 to ensure that all your communication devices such as bluetooth and WiFi will work afterwards.
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Download the latest Radio available for your device (currently 2.15.50.14).
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run CustomRUU.exe from your Radio Folder.
6. Read all the instructions and click next.
7. You will see an Update button, click on it.
8. Wait till your phone reboots.
9. Done!
Flash MAGLDR to the Device
1. Download MAGLDR 1.13 to that folder created earlier.
2. Load into the Bootloader just like you did earlier.
3. Extract the contents of the MAGLDR ZIP folder and launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Make sure you are logged in as Administrator or launch the App as Administrator.
4. Tick the box labeled confirm and click next.
5. Repeat step 4.
6. Select update.
7. Verify the image being flashed say 2.00.000.0 and select next.
8. Read the process list and select next.
9. Once the process is done your phone will reboot.
10. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to the internal storage (NAND Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. 4GB should be enough for most Android ROMs.
1. Download any Android ROM you wish to install on the HTC HD2. Make sure that it's compatible with your device. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tytung which runs excellent on the internal storage as well as of an SDCard.
2. Copy the downloaded ZIP folder to your SDCard.
3. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
4. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option AD Recovery and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
5. Navigate to Update from SDCard and select it.
6. Select select ZIP file from SDCard and select the ZIP file that contains the ROM.
7. Select YES...
8. Your phone will now install the ROM and ask if you would like to Reboot. Select Yes and your phone will boot Android after showing a menu in which you do not have to do anything. The first boot might take a little longer.
9. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to an SDCard (NativeSD Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. I recommend at least 8GB Class 6 or higher SDCard for most Android ROMs to run smoothly and properly.
Install 4EXT Recovery
NOTE2: You might need to install the 4EXT Recovery on your device. Please comment below if you needed to but here is how it goes:
1. Download 4EXT Recovery and copy the ZIP file to an SDCard.
2. Insert the SDCard into your device and launch the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
3. Select Services.
4. Select Boot Settings.
5. Select AD SD Dir.
6. Select the ZIP file you just copied to the SDCard.
7. Go back to the MAGLDR Boot Menu and select Boot AD SD.
8. Done!
Install the Android ROM to the SDCard
1. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
2. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option Services and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
3. Select Boot Settings.
4. Select Boot Source.
5. Select Android from SD.
6. Navigate back to MAGLDR Boot Menu.
7. Select Boot AD Recovery.
8. Select advanced.
9. Select Partition SDCard.
10. Select remove all partitions and start from start.
11. Set the size of the EXT partition to the largest possible.
12. Set the size of the SWAP partition to 0MB.
13. Select Yes - I'm sure.
14. Wait for the progress to finish.
15. Reboot the device from the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
16. Hold the power button to get back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
17. Download the Android ROM you would like to use. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tyugen which works well from an SDCard as well as the internal storage.
18. Copy the downloaded ZIP file to the SDCard you are using.
19. Insert the SDCard into your device while it is off.
20. Boot back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
21. Select AD Recovery.
22. Select install from SDCard.
23. Select choose zip from SDCard.
24. Select your ROM.
25. Select YES...
26. Wait for the installation page to show up and then tap NEXT.
27. Select install to SD-EXT and then tap NEXT.
28. Select RMNET Connextion. I suggest deactivating the soft keys. Tap NEXT.
29. Once the installation is done tap NEXT and make sure that your device is set to reboot.
30. Done!
