[Q] S5300 Custom ROM installation - General Questions and Answers

Hello and thanks in advance for any answer.
I have the Galaxy Pocket S5300 with firmware XXLF5.
To increase performance and get rid of that crappy preinstalled apps, i wanted to install a custom ROM (well - tbh ANY custom ROM would do, but i just found that one below).
i refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31218395#post31218395 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865053
The point is: i rooted my phone, i installed CWM, i can start CWM, i got the MAK-DROID zip on the card (same directory as the update.zip) - so that should be allright - but i cannot install it, because CWM keeps telling me, it fails mounting /sdcard.
i read somewhere else, that the new version of CWM can install custom ROMs from other locations but /sdcard, too, but the one provided in the second link seems to be an old one - and i am not experienced enough to just get a current CWM and modify it to fit the S5300.
Can anyone help me ?

Noone has any idea what's causing this?

Hi..first of all i would like to tell you that the cwm for galaxy pocket is still under development..as the restore and reboot is not working..so i recommend u not to flash any rom till we get a permanent cwm

And the new cwm's do have a option to flash/backup roms from extrenal sd..but they are for other modals..so stick to your cwm for pocket..it gonna be a touch recovery.

I really want only TouchWiz, without installing other roms ...
here is the tw4.apk..
http://www.multiupload.com/6RAYLWNPCU
download the tw4.apk, copy/move the downloaded file to ur external card of ur phone.
then go to recovery mode, install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>select ur .zip file>choose "yes"..
FINISH
I think the 4.5 Version is also pretty stable!

[Q] Change Back-Up Rom From/To Cm Media Mod 1.6

I Currently Have Cyanogen(Media)Mod 1.6 installed. I have backed it up through Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.8. I also backed up CyanogenMod 7.2 Rc5.5. Can I restore CyanogenMod 7.2 Rc5.5 without any problems? The Reason I am asking is because Cyanogen(Media)Mod 1.6 has reversed Internal Memory with Sd-Ext, compared to CyanogenMod 7.2 Rc5.5.
Please reply!
Best regards

That is why I asked in the first place whether this is possible, due to the difference in storage!!! I do not want to brick my phone! Has anybody tried this?
So you did not try this! When I try, I will report back!
well....dude tell me ur region nd yup the pda and the csc version ...may b i can find a stock rom for u....
well do tel me the prefixes...i mean like for india we have dd as a prefix in frmware... nd xx for europe....
I have all the stock Froyo and Gingerbread roms (XX: Europe), I have ODIN and OPS, and I know how to install Clockwork Mod as well as all the custom roms!
I am already on CyanogenMediaMod 1.6 and before I was on CyanogenMod 7.2 RC5.5, both roms with backup on my phone!!!
I am asking, can I do a direct restore from Cyanogen(Media)Mod 1.6 to CyanogenMod RC5.5 without wiping data, formatting etc!
Has anyone tried this?
well......
alrite..
i must say i havnt tried such a case yet..howevr u can try just by formatting memory card from cwm recovery....
nd as u r asking that can u do something without wiping data or formatting etc..so for ur info dude...after installing new rom all data gets erased and most people recomment wiping nd formatting data b4 installong new rom...
Yeah you can do that easily
Restore will restore your phone to the state it wad on that date...

It worked. I had my doubts due to the difference of the roms concerning internal memory/sd-ext.
Clockworkmod is very powerful! Now Im very impressed!
Thank you!

CREDITS​
Before we begin tech stuff
Finally after lot of itch, I was able to use one of the available ROM from Canvas2 and bang my head for weeks to make it work on
Lava Iris 501, its a beta release and apart from Hardware fixes, every Credit goes to "captain_nemo"
Without him been able to make it work on Micromax Canvas 2 (A110) I couldn't have made it for Lava Iris 501.
Apart from captain_nemo, "SuperDroid-BOND" came as a SANTA much before x-mas to Solve a major issue
and his kind helping tweak made me use this ROM as day-to-day ROM.
He is very kind and people like him makes XDA a much better place for newbies too.
Lastly another user "imsurazz" is one who has kept reminding me about making the ROM available to XDA users
and his beta testing friendly team, He kept on PM'ing me, and frankly speaking I liked it, although I was not online most of the days
but his efforts caught me to upload it for the sake of MTK 6577 devices and friends on Lava Iris 501.
He too really deserves many thanks.
Reserved For Screenshots,
Hunting for backed up folder
Coming Here in a day or two,
Reserved for Future Updates
Certainly if this ROM gets responses

Good work dude.. Good to see 4.2.2 for iris 501.. Even i have worked on android 4.2.2 a bit and got almost fully functional ROM but there is some problem with the compass and camera sensor.. Though camera is working but the pictures taken are too dark.. And i'm not able to figure out what problem is.. If you have any idea then please let me know as well.. Autofocus is working fine..

I don't think thats so easy to use everything from Iris501 and flash it on 455 that easily. I am sure hardware specs would be different for both
models and it will certainly lead to BOOTLOOP or even BRICK.

Did you flash a 4.2 kernel?.... If yes then try wiping everything and flash the ROM again...
Hit Thanks if it Helped....
---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------
If you flashed a 4.2 ROM over a 4.1 ROM you need to upgrade the kernel too
First download a 4.2 kernel
Then flash it through recovery
Then flash the Note 3 ROM
Hit Thanks if it Helped....
