Im currently running the supermagicv2r3 on my mt3g. can any one tell me how to flash the trojan_final.zip briefly. im running 32b. its hard to understand through all these post. i usually tube it. If its ne one out there i would appreciate it. oh and tell me what else i need to download. i already have the 1.3.2 recovery image by Amon Ra, and i downloaded trojan_final.zip
Eugene's trojan? I believe you have to flash over the 32A radio and recovery image through fastboot. If you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you don't do attempt it because you will brick your phone. This also belongs in general.
You should go here if you need further help that goes into more detail than the little tid bit that I have given you.

i kno what i am doing as far as. rooting my phone back to 1.5. downloading flash
rec plus the recovery image. flashing the rec image. rebooting the phone to rec image. then once i drag the rom onto my sd card. wiping factory reset and ext partition. then part sd: fat32 blah blah blah. and converting ext2 to ext3. but all these other words is like new to me. i kno what to do. juss not exactly
I don't want to give you false information. I would go check Eugene's thread to see if you need the 32A radio, but he removed everything because he has decided to move to another forum. I need confirmation on that. Do you know if it's for 32A or for 32B?
Also, do you know how to use fastboot/adb?

i just checked on his other forum that he is now at. apparently it's a 32B so you don't have to worry about fastboot. just wipe data/factory reset. Then wipe your ext and davlik. Then wipe data/factory reset again for good measure. Then flash the rom.
Or if you want a clean flash, repartition your sd card fat32+ext+swap, upgrade ext2 to ext3, repair file systems, wipe data/factory reset, then flash the rom.

I really appreciate that for real... so the second way is the best to go? and is there a fat32+ext+swap option in the newest recovery image by Amon Ra. which is recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img?
yeah it's the best way to go and it does have that option. You can even choose the values of how big you want your ext and swap. This recovery image is a lot better than his last one.

lol what exactly do u mean by values of ext and swap? and can i use the same flashrec i downloaded to use the supermagicv2r3 which is flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk. im sorry but these words with ext swap i dont really kno what they do i just follow instructions. but i wouldnt mind knowing the meaning
I don't know about the apk. Just go into your recovery image by pressing home and back. flash the rom from there.
ext is where your apps go for apps2sd. swap gives the phone virtual memory that is fed off the memory card to make up for the lack of ram that the phones we have. the original hero has 288MB and our phones that are google branded or 32B only have 192.

i just tried what u said to do but when i try to update the trojan_final.zip. it says download aborted (bad). i wipe data wipe ext and davlik , wipe again then i try to flash rom and it isnt working. and i also put the swap to 64 and left the ext at 512. would that be a problem?

boot to recovery
and select partition
partition sd
swap-size minimum 64 (use track balll to change numbers)
press home
ext2 size leave size as is and fat 32
press home to partition
ok then
select usb-ms toggle
copy trojan-final across to card
reboot phone to recovery
select
flash update
choose.zip
select zip and flash
be warned bluetooth does not work on 32b hero roms
when you get more used to rom updates you could try the 32a hack to get bluetooth working

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
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.
Hit "THANKS". If this helped.
thx a lot man. Finally an explanation i can follow, thanks a lot guy i really appreciate it.
And if you dont mind me asking, what ROM are u using or had best experience with?

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 )
Hit "THANKS". If this helped.

Have a look at this too.
You'll get some sense about working in recovery.
How to flash ROMs.
The method for flashing is almost the same for every ROM.

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

Heimdall or Odin install stock UCLB3 GB, or stock froyo..
Then format sd cards from Settings, then factory reset from Settings.
Optional... Connect phone to PC,mount drives and use a data wipe utility on both sd cards...

My personal choice is to format both SD cards on the computer.Takes a couple of minutes,but if using Windows uncheck the quick format option,after that in recovery go to mounts and storage and format cache,data,system and boot
Go here and get qksters clean wipes. I flash this before every flash and rarely have bad flashes or bugs related to dirty flashes

Or, from recovery you can format system, wipe caches, and clear data/factory reset. Then flash the ROM.
Either way, DO NOT format or erase your sdcards. Make sure your ROM install zip is copied to your internal sdcard before the steps above.

thanks for the replies well appreciated ill probably do this tomorrow
The clean wipes wont touch your sd cards internal or external. It will only delete ur current rom and such so make sure you have a cwm flashable rom in ur internal or external sd card before flashing clean wipes or that u can odin back to stock. I would reccoment a nandroid backup before doing anything.....like always

i got back my imei fixed through a local store. i tried everything which didn't work at that moment. now i have my imei and i used mtk droid tools to take a backup this time and tried the whole process again. i used sp flash tools and the zip method for increasing internal memory for installing color os rom. but it didn't work again.
the current status of my phone is that i am using stock rom which is rooted but all i wanted to ask is that did i mess up with my internal sd card which is actually not allowing me to install color os rom? or is it something else? because i did each and every step correctly each time.

so what do you think is the exact problem? the storage space space showing on my pc used to more before i tried to increase it.
and do you think this has been the problem which is not allowing me to install color os rom? please help me bro i am tired with the stock rom. I wonder flashing custom roms in mmx a52 was much more easier lol

I followed each step correctly..
i used 880mb partition file for that i did wipe data/factory reset>wipe cache>wipe system> wipe dalvik cache and then installed 880mb.zip
as memntioned in that thread i installed the rom zip directly after that and rebbot system. i was supposed to get the bootloop at first which i got and then i did wipe data/factory reset>wipe cache>wipe system> wipe dalvik cache again and installed rom again. but i am stuck in bootloop.
i was reading the reviews in color os thread and it was mentioned to unmount cache and sytem before flashing i did that too but no luck.
so please let me know if i did anything wrong because thiis is all i have been trying.

Figured out internal Sd card mount error clear solution.
Here's what i think you have done
You did a system partition with sptool and also tried zip like 507mb to 1gb or in between .
I had the same problem of lost internal sd card in file manager.
If you want it back or increase system partition try factory mode to format unmount error of internal sd card.
follow these steps.
1) take or keep a backup in sd card.
2) go into cwm recovery mode and flash 507mb partition zip or 1gb partition zip(507mb for undo partition and 1gb for partition)
3)To solve mount issue without external sd card go to factory mode after the flash.
select "Full test" option in it select memory it'll show 3 options
1 Format ext...
2 test pass
3 test fail
And it shows the space in yellow text in two sd card as 0 mb or any . Select the first option which will increase the space of internal sd.
After you'll just need to update or restore backup to successfully fix mount error for internal sd card either for partition or undo partition.
This worked for me when i just tried various format option to format the partition error.
