Dont forget to flash a gapp too that is for your google play.
I had no problem with CWM until now but I needed an ext4 partition for a rom (slimkat) and CWM failed.
I then installed 4ext and everything worked. (except the ROM on my phone hehe)
So if you need an ext4 partition for your rom, I would not recommend CWM based on my experience.

It's an HTC Sensation. I tried first with CWM and rom manager. But the partition was not recognized when installing (Slimkat) .
Then, I found this about creating partition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125513
Where you can read:
These two methods are the best ones to use. Other means could result in sd-card damaging, or other problems. Do not use:
ROM Manager, CWM Recovery, Windows Minitool Partition Wizard etc.

And for me it happened to be true
(The SD was not damaged, just the partition not working).

PM the OP for that version.. I guess the thread's already closed because there's no links.. And I also found that your device has no support (officially, at least) for CMW v6.x.x.x. Sorry man.

The "partition" you're talking about there is SD partition, right? To use that partition you must format the partition's file system to ext4, not fat32 (default SD file system). Maybe it "didn't work," just the in the wrong file system.

Yes, correct. The conclusion is that I was able to make a correct ext4 partition with 4ext recovery only, I thought it could be useful to the OP regarding his question about CWM.

Except that all phone partitions are ext4 by default. It's the phone partitions OP is concerned of, not SD partitions. I think..
Are you saying that some recoveries have different file systems other than ext4?

He asked if the steps to install kitkat are the same and more info about CWM. I just explain the problem I had when I did exactly what the OP wants to do, in the same situation.
It would crash during the install because there was no ext4 partitions on the sdcard. I don't know why, this part I don't understand. I never had to do something like that until now. So after investigating the matter I realised that I had to create an ext4 partition (1GB) on my SD card. (it had 1 Fat32 partition)
I tried with different tools. CWM included. They failed. I stepped upon the post I mentioned before. I installed 4ext. I created a 1GB ext4 partition on the SD Card. The install was successful and I enjoy my phone again with KitKat. (but in the end I removed Slimkat due to some bugs and installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073, which works perfectly so far)
That's all about my experience installing a kitkat based rom which is the OP goal. As mentioned before, I don't know why it needed this ext4 partition for the installation. My knowledge does not go that far, but the result is there.

since u flashed kitkat in ur htc sensation and u hav done it right, u can guide me to do so......
here is what i understood regarding the kitkat rom
i have to to do partition of my SD card (the link was helpful !!!)
CWM version does not do any help for kitkat rom (i guess !! am still confused about CWM recovery because the link for one v's CWM 6.0 is dead and in Kitkat rom's link it does not say anything or about the CWM version how to flash it )
my question is
after partition, did you completed the "using the ext partition" and then you flashed it using CWM and what version of CWM did you use ?
and my CWM version is 5.8 should i use it to flash kitkat (without getting bricked) ??
Sorry for asking so many question. My roms thread does not have the details that i generally find in other thread. I want to flash Kitkat so badly.
It does not matter if the rom works or not, still its worth a shot. just want to make sure i do everything right from my side without damaging my handset.

Sorry.. Even I don't understand the question anymore. But as far as I know, ext4 partitions on an SDcard is never related to flashing ROMs.. It is only used for Link2SD and such..
Yes, so, somehow it looks like during the installation, these Kitkat roms were expecting an ext4 partition on the SD Card.
If you look in Internet, you can find things like that for example:
(Damn, my xda noob account does not let me post links, search youtube and use this video ID: ?v=bUMhn6geaUM
They talk about this ext4 partition on the SD card, why they do it and what they use to do it. (Partition Magic)
Maybe if I had just removed my SD card , the install script would not have tried to use the SD card, but let's not add more confusion
As I said, CWM (I had 5.8) did not work to create a correct ext4 partition on my SD Card. (the install failed again)
The funny thing is I even paid 2$ for CWM xd
I replaced CWM by 4ext recovery. website: 4ext.net (install the 4EXT Recovery Updater)
Then I created the ext4 partition on the SD Card and both kitkat roms I tried were installed successfully.
(In 4ext recovery, install from zip, select your rom zip, go.)
btw, I backed up everything before (but I guess it's obvious) , once, I had to reinstall my backup from recovery because it would not boot.

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.

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 )

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

Now i plan to install the JaggyRom 4.0.3 on my HTC Explorer. Do you think its a good idea ?
I only have a 2GB SD Card , is there any requirement that i have to convert at least 1GB to ext partition before installing the ROM.
Any other things which you would suggest i take care of before proceeding ?
Thanks a lot
Give link to rom which you wan't to install.
Especially Jaggy 4.0.3 was GB with sense 3.5 I THINK, so you don't need 1gb ext, even 512 will do. If it's ICS with sense 4 you need 1gb ext.
My advice: Don't worry if first time it stucks on white htc screen, if this happens, just try wiping everything again and flash again.
And another thing you can download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lim1od8qrjdbblp you flash it before you flash the rom, it wipes everything by it self, I'm not sure how it works with sense 4, but for every athor rom it's fine.

sorry not allowed to post the links yet.

please edit the link
I think i shall try this one now, and once i get the knack of it , i'll buy myself a bigger memory card and try ICS
Please let me know if i should go forward with it.
Thanks for the help .
Uff ya, forgot about links restriction, with this one you don't need more than 512mb of ext. Just don't forget to flash 'wi-fi fix' after install and follow the instructions.
With this one you also can use the 'superwipe.zip' that I've posted in the previous post, instead of wiping everything manually, whichever suits you best.
Also if you wan't you can check out cm9, it's ICS and its stable, for it you don't need 1gb ext partition. Well that's it, have fun

i'll try the JaggyRom and tell you how it goes.
If you want to keep your Rom pure stock then flash the one by immortal_yash with ext support. It's smoother then jaggyrom 4.0.3 for me or you can flash cm9.1 build 14 . It's your choice so try and use the one which is best for you...

Also can i overclock my mobile (rather should i do it ? ) and also can the internal memory be used as RAM
Sorry the questions are pretty novice but then i am one

1. Make ext3 partition
2. Do not overclock... you can /rather will cause permanent damage
3.you don't need to use internal memory as ram ~if you do, it may reduce life of SD card

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
What i observed was that the phone started restarting after i had run the following command (to enable ext4 to be used as part of internal memory):
Code:
su
m2sd rmount enable
so i again ran
Code:
su
m2sd rmount disable
after which it stopped restarting. Any pointers what could be the reason for this ? I have a 2GB card, not sure which class , but since it came with the phone i believe it should be class 2 or class 4
Type in terminal emulatur 'm2sd status'
It will show what is enabled, answers will come.
And did you used superwipe.zip, or manually wiped everything. And normally it's better ext partition to be ext2 or ext3.

Well have you removed the sd card while the phone was on?.....If thats the case then you may have to reflash the rom....
Also download roms from xda itself because it is posted by the original devs themselves and you get better support.
Consider using jaggy 4.1 by me....

Okies , i'll try jaggy 4.1 ,
but are there any limitations of the memory card that i have to take care of ?
And will i loose the data again ?
Thanks.
Edit : Not sure if its releavant, but i can't connect to the memory card by using the "Disk Mode" from the mobile.
Can someone shed some light on the differences between JaggyRom and cm ??

This is the patched version of my CWM 6.0.3.2 to run on Bricked Data Partition Devices . It recognize the ext4 partition mmcblk1p2 on external as data partiton so wipe data and mount data are now fully functional without any errors . I used the similar partition table on CM10 Patch by ivendor so If you have done the preparation ( making a 1.5 GB mmcblk1p2 on external sd as ext4 ) you only need to install recovery and if not you must create the partition on external sd . This version is really stable and perfect for daily usage .

This is great stuff. Nice job man. I was really annoyed because i had to put my sdcard onto reader and then wipe with partition manager every time I wanted to reinstall the ROM
If anyone test this, post here.
I have only one minor advice, I think you should make .zip , .tar and just put links- For Odin: <link> , For flashing .zip: <link> because more thngs people have to do, more room for mistakes, it is easier for you to do it once.
Anyway great job.

Thanks ... I hope it solve your problems
I used internet cafe to upload the *.IMG file and ATM I have no good internet connection to re upload ... There are 2 chooses :
1- You should wait til I get a good net and upload zip version
2- You should do the steps and make zip ( choose base zip from my cwm 6.0.3.0 non bricked devices version ) and tar file then upload them ... I put in first post with full credits
there are few risk of bricked or ... if you do currectly risk is 0%
also I thing recovery should work fine because I got a really few errors so I must be really stable ! as stable as my previous cwm 6.0.3.0.

I can patch all custom kernels and ROMs to support eMMC bricked devices but I need some time because I am on exams
I didn't understand fully how this works? Do I need external card or this can be done with sdcard?
Is this mean that ROM needs to be installed on external card? What about internal memory? Can this be fixed, or it is lost forever?

hope you understand it:
Some users have already broken eMMC.
The problem is the data partition.
to get the roms working, one idea is to make a new data partition on the ext. sd. To be usable the roms need to be patched(the patch says to the rom / kernel that it has to look on ext. sd partition 2 for the data partition.
The next problem would be that a 'wipe data' in recovery or a flash would do something on the bricked data part. in internal sd. that wouldn't change anything(wipe data-after that no data is wiped).
This recovery solves the last mentioned problem
to your questions:
1) this is not a question
2) you need ext. card
3) no. (correct me if i'm wrong)
4) no question.
5) only one partition(data) of the int. card is lost forever
:victory:

I found this kinda funny.
Anyway, yes, we install ROM on the internal memory (/system and /cache partitions are working normally) but /data is on external SD card.
With 'normal' CWM trying to wipe /data throws some errors (khm....it is bricked) but with this one it is supposed to wipe /data on external, so I dont need to wipe it manually from my PC with partition manager (at least it should do that, havent tested yet) ...

Why you afraid of trying this ? thats my cwm only with changes partition table ! The worst thing can be happen is that your phone gona stock at recovery boot animation and will fixed by flashing my normal cwm 6.0.3.2 from odin
I 99% confrim that this will work !
Is there any pathed ROM to work with this recovery? I have a friend that got this problem a month ago. Phone is in the drawer

This will work on ALL ROMS .. only you need to have an EXT4 data partition on extsd at mmcblk1p2
...........
Some news : I'm going to merge both pathced and normal one into One
I don't understand, what is mmcblk1p2, how to create this?
TwinHeadedEagle said:

mmcblk1p2 is a partition on the extSD card, you have to create with a partitioning tool, it must be ext4, and you need a kernel to boot the rom from extSD, Ivendor provided a patch for his CM10 to work with data partition on extSD, refer to his thread, in the op he explained how to use it

Hope you understand this :
You must make a second partition on your external sd with ext4 format and at least 1.5GB size . you can use any partition tool ! then install this recovery , you can wipe data or fix permissions or mount data without any errors
Thanks
I have a friend with this problem, we installed the recovery and made the ext4 partition on sd but when installing a rom does not pass the logo.
What rom and kernel install? some patch?

Hi;
i am a noob in the android world and i need a help
i have a sammsung SGH-I857 with 2.2.2 android version & 2.6.332.9-perf karnel version which is rooted
I want to release the maximum possible space of internal phone memoir because it small (177MO ONLY) 89.30 MB of space it used.
I would move them to the SD card (8GB) or remove them if it's possible ,but I do not know how knowing that my phone has never been changed at the ROM or Kernel or Recovery or anything like that
I also read that before anything i should use a custom recovery and make a backup of my current set up, so in case something gets messed up, i can restore the backup and be as good as new!,then install a ROM that can do what I want if it's possible
the problem is that I can not find how I did lots of research, but I have not found those for SGH-I857
so if you could tel me how ,done please & thank you in advance

First, you need to install Mount2SD or Link2SD, it will link (replace) your apps to SDcard. You can find it Mount2SD here and then you need to partitioning your SDcard first, just follow this instruction and you also get Link2Sd from here. I guess these apps don't need custom ROM or kernel to work. But custom recovery, like CWM or TWRP is necessary needed to do full backup (Nandroid Backup) of your current stock ROM.
Well, for custom recovery you can try ROM Manager (It's free app on Play Store), it will help you to install CWM Recovery. Or you can try TWRP Manager (it's also free app on Play Store) to play with custom recovery by TWRP.
Good Luck.

hey , i have the same phone this is what i have done to gain 2go of app memory , root it with superoneclick , partition your sd using minitool partition wizard make one partition fat32 and another linuxswap make them both primary (ps: don't use your phone to partition) then instal link2sd and mount second partition fat32 ....linuxswap partition is the second partiotion for apps.... you are done ...just every time when you install a new app go to link2sd click on the app you want to move to second partition and then click create link. that's it

There is no current custom recovery solution for the Samsung DoubleTime (SGH-I857).
I am however trying to make this exist as well as a whole other ROM option that may allow Gingerbread to be ran on the device. So far the base of operations has been the thread in which Dardour has posted a link to above. That however seems to be broken.

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.

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

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.
