Is this a new version? Can this one actually partition my SD card?
"the only good bug is a dead bug"

i just compiled it from source today so it should be latest give if they updated it today(source is from yesterday)

So how do i go about installing this? install zip from recovery? do i have to do anything such wiping? thanks so much.

Nope, doesn't stick.
"the only good bug is a dead bug"

only way I know is to use unrevoked to change recovery. It involves restoring using the original 2.1 ruu and unrevoking again. DO NOT USE THE 2.2 froyo ruu or you'll never root again.
Before you plug your phone in for unrevoked, start unrevoked and one of the options let you select a custom recovery. Select your custom recovery and then plug your phone into the pc. If you don't do it that way you'll wind up with 2.5 again.
Remember use the original htc rom for the aria. Not the 2.2 rom.

Doesn't 3.x have problems flashing certain things?

Where do you get the source?

cwm 3.0 cannot flash anything that uses amend based update scripts. The must be based on edify. Other than that its fine. And cwm is built everytime you build cm7.

So its completely safe to upgrade?

when can we expect it to be signed cuz i have tried and like the new features and a little change in interface

it doesnt matter if its signed as explained earlier in the thread the only way to have it stick is to restore your phone to stock unrooted 2.1(NOT 2.2) and use unrevoked with an alternate recovery.img

Yes, 3.x zips must use the new edify method. The old update script method does not work.

i just felt like building a newer clockworkmod for our device instead of having an old one

[Q] updating clockworkmod recovery

Hello All. Is there some way to update clockwork mod recovery? I have an older version 3.something and i know there is a new version 5.something. I can log into the 5.something version with rom manager but I would like to be able to go directly into it. When i hold down power + vol down i go to 3.something even though my rom manager is updated to 5.something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

would you happen to have the link for the new one? the only ones i could find are part of the super one click which contains 3.something. also i tried flashing the one from ROM manager but it doesn't seem to overwrite the current version. I can only get into the new version via rom manager..which doesn't help if i need to restore or do backups of newer cyanogenmods.

You can install the slimdroid port using CWM if you want to install the full version from Lenovo you will need to make sure you have the stock recovery installed. It is tricky but it works. Do a quick search and make sure you understand how the bootable sdcards work. The A1 is almost unbrickable but it can get scary at times as long as you have a boot sdcard you will be fine.
I have been running it for a couple of days it works well the battery drains a bit faster but much better than stock. CM7 is very nice too you can't go wrong with either one.

SlimDroid v7.20 ONLY STOCK RECOVERY

Good to know the other versions all worked on CWM looks like you will need to install the stock recovery before continuing.

Well, I flash someone's rom with cwm and its very unstable it doesn't have wifi , gapps, and usb mass storage but it has usb debugging, I was thinking to change the files of the recovery to cwm using adb and do a fresh install of gb, is that ok?

The first thing you are going to want to do if you want to go back to stock and that is probably best and then go from there is download the following.
http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/A107W0_A234_001_015_2643_US.zip

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip
If you have a 16gb device grab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23471133&postcount=409
First flash CWM 5.0.2.7 (you can use the newer one later if you want to but use this one for this)
Then if you have the 16GB model flash stock-mbr.zip and reboot into CWM. (if you have a 2GB device this will hose it the device don't do it)
Then flash the ram disk followed by the 2643 OTA.
If you have an issue installing CWM grab a bootable sdcard there are instructions in the ICS threads and use that to flash CWM.
The A1 is almost unbrickable unless you have a hardware problem you should be able to get it working again.

I inatall the alimdroid but the space for install apps is very reduce and the apps can't move tp th sd card is there any form to change that?

If that's correct you're in the right forum!
Check out the link that warren sent to you so that you can get the phone onto Gingerbread bootloaders, which you'll need to flash any Gingerbread and more recent ROM (GB, ICS, JB). Make sure you also check out the wiki for a lot of our guides.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V

Thanks guys, upgrade to GB 2.3.6 and rooted. Quick question Rom manager don't have cmw recovery for this phone, which recovery does this phone use and how do you boot into bootloader/recovery manually on Galaxy S 4G?
Sorry this is my first using Samsung phone.

I think you should keep away from Rom manager as it is not compatible on our phone, here check this out.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Flashing_a_kernel .flash the gingerbread kernel and you are good.. and this also it may help you with some trouble ahead... http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V .once you have custom kernel you can check some custom GB roms and ICS. head over to development section and you

Depending on the kernel the recovery will either be CWM or TWRP. The easiest way to reboot recovery, if your on a ROM that doesn't support it from the power menu, is to download Quickboot from market. The other way is to power phone down then hold both volume rockers then press and holder power. Once the splash screen changes or gets brighter let go of power only. Either way works. For your own good delete the ROM manager app now.

An extra bit of helpful information - if you decide you want to restore your back up that you made, do from from the kernel/recovery you made the back up with.

You can always use the one click back to stock in lumins sig if u fork it up

[Q] Issue with samsung galaxy sgh t959v upgrade to JB

HI Gurus,
I own the samsung galaxy sgh t959v running on official tmobile stock gigerbread 2.3.6. Recently, I've tried to update it to run on JellyBean(4.1.1) trying to follow the below tutorial.
First you need the ODIN files(to go back to stock) : goo.gl/An7S (scroll down for where it says download and download the 4 files in there )
put this file in your sd card with the other one . if you dont have this file then you wont be able to use recovery mod :goo.gl/FuHFJ
Then you need to root your phone : goo.gl/oW4WO
USE THIS LINK (FOR ROOT)IF NOT FIRST ONE WORKING : dl.dropbox.com/u/13517705/SGH-
Then you gotta update your phone to CM-7 (gingerbread)(2.3.7) : goo.gl/rjFRj
then , you need chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi
and finally , you need to install panaroid android(JB)(4.1.1): goo.gl/Frl3z
gapps : goo.gl/jN55d

I am not able to boot up to download mode either so that I can re-flash the basic stock version.
tried installing chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi as well but no luck.
I've tried everything from trying to wipe out the data/factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

You flashed vibrant (SGH-T959) ROM and recovery and not SGS 4G (SGH-T959V).
These are 2 completely different devices.
I hope you haven't bricked your phone.
Try the one-click back to stock - specifically section 2...
and if it works, flash only ROMs appearing in this forum development section.
Good luck!

It works

You can flash any of the ROMs listed in these SGS4G forums. However, make sure you read the instructions carefully for each ROM, as some require you to have already been on an ICS ROM due to file system changes. Do not flash anything for the Vibrant or any other phone or you will have serious problems. Good luck!

Antonx basic with a twist or bhundvens blastoff v2.5 are two good ones to use

If you don't care for GPS - I'd go with one of our great aries 4.2.2 ROMs.
till this fuctionality is added,
If you want a GPS on your daily driver, you'll have to flash an ICS ROM, such as
AOKP, CM9, HebMIUI, Ultragen....
