have you made any backup before formatting your system?
If you have made a Nandroid Backup, then its easy to recover the ROM. But if you haven't made, then Mount USB storage in CWM recovery, and connect your phone to computer via USB cable. Then transfer the ROM zip file to SD card. And then you are able to flash the ROM. Be sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats.

You were using a Custom ROM before aren't you? If yes, then probably you should know which ROM you used before.
Anyways you can search in the device-specific forum over here :

Interestingly enough, I was working on the stock ROM that the phone was on.It's a new device I was using.And I just got introduced to the ClockWorkMod thingy, which was just a zip file that I chose thru the Reboot Recovery Screen. I was just mucking around with the options on the CWM, when I unwittingly chose to Format System (No goddamn idea why !!!! )
But I will search for a suitable ROM. Will revert back in case of any issues....THNX !!!
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

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.

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 )
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
I've modified EBR1 & EBR2 to increase the partition size as follows--
/system = 1 gb
/cache = 200 mb
/data = 4 gb
But, i'm unable to flash it, as neither I could create scatter file to flash it with sp flash tool, nor I could make a flashable zip to flash via recovery.
Please, give suggestions, what /system size would be better to suit our development needs.
Also, please tell me how could I create a modified scatter file to flash these EBR files via sp flash tools or please help me, to create a recovery flashable zip file.
Also, I'm trying to increase /recovery partition size.
I'll upload EBR files very soon with above mentioned sizes.
Thank you all, specially Dr. Avi for his roms, and lets be a team to make our Xolo Q3000 much better.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, I've come up with the CWM flashable zip, with the partition size as follows-
/system = 1.5 gb
/cache = 200 mb
/data = 5.0 gb
Download link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9c3NsdJ2PscWVRQTk5adGNLUE0/view?usp=sharing
Mod with 1gb /system, 200mb /cache & 4gb data partition:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9c3NsdJ2PscMVowbWJtMVFsMnM/view?usp=sharing
Procedure:
1) Place zip in your sd card, don't keep any data on phone storage.
2) Reboot to recovery(TWRP v2.8.4.0 rev1 recovery is prefered)
3) Back up your current rom to sd card
4) Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik cache, android secure & emmc also.
5) Install downloaded zip file
6) Reboot
It will be a bootloop, don't panic, remove battery to power off, place it back and go to recovery by pressing vol up + power button.
7) Now, you may see some error related to cache/ recovery.....
8) Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik cache, android secure & emmc also. Error will disappear.....
9) Restore your previous rom or flash a new custom rom
x) Reboot
In case if, there is bootloop or any problem, don't panic, go to recovery and again format /system, /data, /cache and flash custom rom.
Now, we don't have to think of /system partition size to port ROMs.
It's an outcome of lot of hardwork, so please be gentle, even if you face any problem while re-partitioning & I'm here to see u, whatever ur problem is.......................
Special thanx to:
Keanu_ritz & Tirta.agung for their guide,
Digyvijaykumar123 for CWM flashable zip &
Dr. Avi for his co-operation & appreciation.
If you appreciate my work, just press thanks button.
Flash at ur own risk, I'll not be responsible for bricked devices............................

Very good initiative.
Thanks.
1 gb system partition is more than enough for development.
u can get recovery flashble zip from this link. just replace EBR files.
U dont need separate scatter file for flashing for the first time.
After flashing u need to create new scatter file using mtkdroid tools which has to be used for further flashing.
Also this link is useful.

I've already mentioned, it would be a boot loop, but you don't have to worry.
read the procedure carefully and follow the steps, you will get the partitions same as in screenshots.

Hi guys.
I am a noob in this, but i have done my research and did what i was told.
i have an I9100 and i have rooted it.
when installing CM12.1 (tried 3 diffirent versions) i am always getting status 6 installation aborted.
can the problem be with the kernels? i tried 3 diffirent kernels for I9100.
Please help
Much appreciated.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
If you are certain that the ROMs you are flashing are for the I9100 specifically(not another model), then you may be able to use jrummy's root browser to unzip the ROM zip that you are trying to flash, after unzipping, find the META.INF folder and open it then edit the updater script in that file, then using jrummy's root browser compress everything back into a flashable zip, when it prompts you asking which compression level you want to use, select "best", after its zipped, make sure it's placed on your extsdcard(do NOT put it on internal sdcard). When you get in recovery, go to the advanced options and select the option that lets you wipe individual partitions, wipe the system partition and the data partition(DO NOT WIPE ANY OF THE OTHER PARTITIONS), after wiping the system and data partitions you flash the ROM and see what happens.
If you need help understanding all that, you can ask in the forum linked below.

I hope this helps, good luck.

When coming from jelly bean or kit kat to lollipop you have to format system and data partition before flashing. Did you do that, you didn't mention in your last two posts that you did that.

No, those are the normal wipes, I'm talking about the format options. Which recovery do you have? CWM or TWRP?
If CWM, boot to CWM, then choose the mounts and storage option in recovery, in that menu you will see the option to format partitions, format system and data partitions, don't format any other partitions or you'll cause more problems. After they are formatted go back to main menu in recovery then continue into flashing your ROM and Gapps. If it doesn't work after that then there are probably things like your modem or bootloader that need to be updated, if that is the case then it means you need to flash any stock updates that came after Jelly bean for your device(to flash stock updates you have to be unroofed and have an unmodified system partition) and then flash your custom ROM, but you need to check that because some devices can't be rooted after certain updates have been taken, it varies from device to device.
If you have TWRP then you'll see an option saying format or wipe in TWRP, choose that option and find where you wipe system and data(again, do not format any other partitions). Then after format is done go flash the ROM.

Sorry, the format options are in the mounts and storage option in recovery, i misspoke earlier, it has been a while since i used CWM, I use TWRP because of some things i do. Try doing the format system and data and then installing your ROM and see if it works.

Yesterday I started with trying to load a new Custom Rom for the 1st time on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110.
I used Odin to root it and also to program the Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.1.1. That worked fine.
Now I see that it's better to work with TWRP, but I don't know how to remove the CWM.
Is there any manual or something to do that?
Or can someone give me a working manual which include a custom ROM an also the Gapps etc. that I can load using Clockworkmod Recovery?
So, what I need is: A manual how to program a custom ROM onto my Galaxy Tab2 P5110 and I also need to know which Custom Rom will work.
Thanks in advance.

You can install twrp using odin just like you did for cwm. To install a rom download the zip, boot into twrp, wipe system data cache and dalvik cache, select Install and browse to the rom zip. Any rom you find in the tab 2 forum that is for espressowifi should work on your device.

Yes you can overwrite cwm. Just put the rom somewhere you can find it from the twrp menu (internal storage or sd card). Also I forgot to mention that if you want play store you will have to flash a gapps package after flashing the rom.

When switching from a rom to another you ahould first wipe system data etc. Otherwise you will probably have problems like bootloop and apps crashing. The thread in the link you posted explains how to root a device (that is to add a few files extra in the rom you are using).
