How to flash bionix to my phone... step by step - T-Mobile LG G2x

I wanna put a rom on my phone but I'm having issues. I tried doing it through rom manager app.. and it didn't work. I downloaded the rom to my SD card, wiped the dalvik cache, etc.... when I hit the final button and it rebooted my phone it just wiped it to factory so if someone can walk me through dummy style ill love it. I have rooted the phone for the record.

[Q] i need some help (noob) here

Well, i rooted my phone and that work then i wanted to install rom tryed that and used. An app called ROM manger and installed cyanogenmod 7 that happend but it kept doing the same thing with the andriod dude on the skateboard going around on the screen... did something to the phone with the clockwork recovery thing and then that was gone now the htc white screen boots up but just sits like that what can i do to fix this.... help please pretty big nooob i was dumb for doing this and didnt know what i was doing hopefully i can get my phone up and runing thanks
nobody can help?
Its better to flash a rom manually. And defenitely need to make a backup before you flash anything.
You also need to download titanium backup. It back ups your apps.
Now you need to boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, go to mounts and storage, then format cache boot. And dalvik cache. Then you go to install from sd card and install the rom from there(which means you have to put the rom file on the root of your sd.) Download from the comp and do it.
You need to wipe everything before you flash a rom.
And please read before doing anything.

i know how to wipe the data, cache but i cant find the format cache boot and how do you put the rom on the root of the sd card sorry im a big noob at this :/
To format, you must go into mounts and storage and its in there. And since your on stock rom, you need to plug your phone into your comp via USB cable. A screen pops up on your phone, and set it to disk drive. Something should pop up on your comp, click on open files to view in folder, (if your on windows), then drag and drop. Don't drop into any folder. Just drop into main one. You obviously have to download the rom you want. There located in the developement section of this forum. I tried to explain as noobish as I can... I was once in your place.

for those who are sufferring similar problems (i got this a few times myself) go back to the bootloader (vol. down+power) do a factory reset and cache wipe, then reinstall and it should load fine.

First install recovery from here
cwm recovery is a poweful tool to backup,restore,flash roms,also helps in formatting,partitioning,wiping cache from sd card
To install custom Rom -
Now firstly download any Rom that you like
Now put it in root of your sd card
just take out the battery and reinsert it
Now hold power key and volume down key for few seconds
You will get cwm recovery now select wipe data partition,wipe cache
Now select install from sd card select the file and select yes
Wait for some time to get it install
Reboot and now your new Rom is install
to backup a rom simply select backup and restore, then select backup in cwm recovery
For info about roms,themes,developments,tricks see this thread every thing about htc explorer
explorer also has working cm9 you can try it from here

Or else if you want to skip all the tedium......an ideal rom would be NEXTGEN 1.2
it's better because the development is still active and no problems....no overlays and bugs.....also the tutorial is noob friendly....An ideal replacement to A BUG FREE CM9
After rooting, you get (near)complete control over your device for your warranty. You can do almost everything your device(and your experience level) can handle.
If you want to play very safe, you can just try the new root only apps in market.
If you don't like the way Sense looks, you can use UOT Kitchen to cook a custom theme for your phone.
If you want to tinker with your phone's performance, you can use a variety of scripts and flashable zips for Explorer.
If you run out of internal memory and want to extend it, you can use Link2SD.
If those tweaks don't cut your hunger to customize, you can try using new ROMs. And yes, you can use CyanogenMod 9.

4. i read that partition can also be done with recovery menu.. is that true. if yes. how to do that.. i read partition for s2e(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859691- here) what about link2sd.. can we partion for link2sd by(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29724634&postcount=3 ) with that can we do.. will it work for cm9.1.
5. i read instruction for for flashing cm9.1 rom. there are two different methods which one to follow.
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Htc Explorer/Pico, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible! (metioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29938916) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33608084&postcount=2897).

Guide
Hey there
1. The battery life depends on how you use your phone. If you’re connected to a 3G network all day while playing or watching videos, the battery won’t last that long. For casual everyday use, the battery is great. I didn’t charge it for 2 days once
2. Yes, you can flash through yannou’s recovery but it would be ideal if you flash CWM recovery since it’s recommended. If you partition your sd card, it will be automatically formatted so its best if you back up your data, partition the sd card and then copy all the files. You can partition using CWM and then install Link2sd which, when opened, it will prompt you with the file system of your sd ext. Choose ext3 and reboot. The partition itself isn’t needed for cm9.1 but you can you a2sd scripts if you’re partitioned.
3. To flash it, download the rom and gapps. Put them in the sdcard. Then boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, go to advanced -> wipe dalvik. Then install zip from sd card and find the rom. After you flash the rom, flash the gapps and reboot. Give it a few minutes since the first boot takes some time. And there you go

No, no, stick with yannou's! Official cwm sometimes give's mounting issues with our phone, and sometimes if you drain fully your battery you'll get in to adventure.
Yes flashing process is the same, basikly everything is the same as cwm
Install ROM Manager on your phone and the first option should be to install Clockworkmod Recovery. Follow the instructions on screen. I'd use yannou's recovery though.
Yes, the instructions are the same for yannou's recovery.
And yes, I've used cm9.1 for over 2 months. I'm using HTC sense 4.0a rom by derefas right now

Nothing serious with this matter. Almost all recovery will work with this ROM. But my opinion is use TWRP recovery, it provide lot of feature also its provide touch support and ext partition support also....

3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashing?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 ROM zip file to SD card.

its depends upon Ur need man. If Ur going to use internal memory increasing script u must have an 2nd partition in Ur SD card. ext2/3/4 is depend upon the memory script and ROM Ur going to use..
My Suggestion:
Try m2sd script with ext4 partition its work like a charm.. but i read from some post ext4 will damage SD sooner. but perform better. i am always need performance. but i am sure that till now no damage or performance issue occurred in my SD card as well as phone.
before or after partition is ur choice when u need partition u do it. But some ROM need 2nd partition while flashing be careful on that but cm9.1 doesn't need any support from sd card

3.install ROM zip then install GAPPS zip.
4.Then reboot..
5.wait until u get the home screen.. first boot take some time so be patient
6.After that leave Ur phone for a minute then once again restart Ur phone.
7. final but important click thanks to the Developer and other who help u to install the ROM successfully..
this instruction is for clean installation this will never lead Ur device to problem

thanq u all.. but i have some clarification about partiton only.. can anybody give me guide about partitons for CM9.1 . which is best, simple and error free, wheather to go partition then flashing or flashing then partition.. and plz give me guide thru recovery.. and where its pre or post flashing.. pls do needful..
edit :
im unable to figure it out abot s2e scripts, int2sd scripts.. so please tell me actually what are those and how the linked with ext2/3/4 partitioms..
Its simple if ur using recovery for partition u will lose all the data in SD card. So use mini partition wizard tool for make partition.. after or before flashing is does not matter if u going to add memory script then partition memory card... then add the rom zip then flash it..

As much as i remember, Older builds of CM9.1 had battery drain problems. It has been rectified in the latest builds (Aleast have been rectified in build 10 and 11)
I say you go for CM9.1 Build 11 by ayushrox. I am using it right now. I run my phone with extensive Music usage for 1 and half to 2 days. I have once kept my phone running without charge for 3 days. Right now as i type, i am off the charger for 12 hours, still i have 55% battery remaining, this is good for me, as i use an always on internet.
I never used CWM. I use a different recovery (i dont know its name), and i flash using it successfully.
I use Link2SD with a partition i made BEFORE the installation. I use Minitool Partition Wizard to create partitions. It is for Windows.
I always ask people to do a clean install. This would eradicate any issues in the future.

I never used Mount2SD and never will, cos link2sd works well for me.
Here is what i did:
1. Partition microSD with format ext2. (I used Minitool Partition Wizard for this. A freeware program for Windows)
2. Insert it in the phone, download Link2SD from Play Store.
3. Open Link2SD, it will prompt you to select your partition type. Select ext2.
4. Link2SD will create a mount script and ask you to restart the phone. Do so.
5. After restart, go back to Link2SD, press menu button to open menu.
6. Open "Settings". Make sure "Auto link" is ticked.
7. Exit Link2SD, do a restart.
Thats it! now whenever i install an app, Link2SD sends it to the partition automatically.
Sometimes you may get a phone memory full notification. In that case power off your phone and on it again.
EDIT: all this was done with CM9.1 previously installed.
So what are steps to install cm9.1.
Is it necessary to clear dalvik cache.

[Q] I finally rooted my HTC explorer, what now?

what made me root my explorer was the fact of the low internal memory and i after i found out i could use a partition on my sd card to use as internal memory i started to search for more info.
But its too confusing what ROM do i use if i need one how to setup the partitions etc.
what do they mean to wipe everything before inserting a new rom do they mean the phone the sd card.
I could use some help lol
thx in advance
brigas
Partition your sd card and create ext 2/3/4 partition using mini partition tool in computer.
Wiping everything means to format everything thing like cache partition, dalvik cache, system, boot, data partition SD ext ..... In recovery.
Don't format SD card.
Here you can select ROMs, scripts, kernels and tutorials for much more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754876
Hit "THANKS". If this helped.
yeah i am currently checking that thread i used one of the links to root my phone. but now i kinda nervous on doing the next steps. i already did a backup of my sd card and my rom i think with the ClockworkMod recovery, So correct me if im wrong the next steps are:
Delete data from sd card and partition it into 4 partitions. with that partition mini tool
do a factory reset on the phone( i suppose is how u wipe everything)
and then use recovery to put the new Rom of my choosing.
is this right?
Follow this for creating ext partition.
Create only Only one ext partition.
http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/
For flashing ROM, follow the instructions given on the thread of the ROM.
Basic method is
Reboot into recovery.
Format/wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache in advance(menu)
Format SD ext, system, boot, in mounts and storage.
Now select install zip from SD card/chose zip from SD card/navigate to your ROM's directory/select it and yes to confirm.
Wait. After it says install from SD card completed. Reboot the phone.
You are done.
First boot of every ROM may take a little long. Wait and don't panic.
Some ROMs needs mounting ext, data,cache etc. Check the thread for that. I hope it'll help to get started.

I Am using flyROM v3 here. But I suggest not to go with it as it lags and have random reboots.
I suggest use jaggy ROM by jaggy/danceoff.
If you've rooted your phone using jaggy's tutorial, you are already on "yannou's recovery". This recovery is perfect. No issues At all but you can change it to TWRP for touch support and some more features. But I suggest be on yannou's recovery.(because some are having problems with TWRP flashing sense 4 ROMs )

You'll get some sense about working in recovery.

cool guys i did it. thx for all the help, i sucessfully Put jaggy ROM working. Now that i understand the process involved should i try and a better rom v4? what apps are cool for rooted phones?
Now after getting some sense about flashing. You can try other ROMs as well. Just wipe everything and flash.
Use titanium backup, root explorer, must have apps for rooted one.
Hit "THANKS". It encourages me.
Try
Cm 9,1 build11 man
or
cm9 Xperia fusion (Looks great)
This is best for u start with lag less Rome

thanx buddy i done wid this now can u tell me how to flash custom roms
Flashing ROM is pretty much easy .
Take a backup of data first , as you'll lose data on internal memory.
If you have flashable zip then put zip file in SD card, reboot into TWRP or CWM, wipe cache and data.
flash zip file from SD card, and wipe dalvik cache. Done.
One thing don't say thanks on post, just press thanks button if i help you
