Hello,
I am thinking of upgrading to 2.29.405.5 from 2.29.405.2.
My device came non-branded when I bought it.
The only thing i've done is that I 've rooted it.
What are the steps that I should follow to upgrade?
Should I update using the update available through my device(via WiFi) or download to my pc and then transfer it via usb?
I am thinking of buying an 8GB card, is there any way to copy all the content from the old to the new one, without having to unistall sth? (I haven't used app2sd or apps like that).
Also, to get this right, what app2sd does actually? Allows me to use a partition of my sd card as an extra space to install apks, as the space available in the device?
Thank you for your time!
If you are rooted never use the OTA updates. Either use a RUU and root again or flash a .405.5 based custom rom. If you never used A2SD+ (the one with ext partition) you can just copy all files from one card to the other. (make sure you also copy the hidden files).
Here you can find some more info about A2SD
Thank you for your reply!
I've checked my files and found that I have downloaded this:
"RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed"
It should be from a link found at the forums here..
Should I install this one? I don't have to unroot?
A RUU will unroot your phone, but why not flash a custom rom?
If you want to stay close to the stock rom just flash Leedroid
I thought I 've read somewhere in the forums, that upgrading a rooted device will cause a brick. Is that correct? Or this happens via OTA updates?
Is Leedroid similar to sense style?
I am not familiar to all this, but I am willing to try, as long as my device will not be bricked!
Also does Leedroid support greek localization?
Upgrading via OTA causes problems for some people. But since you wanna flash the ROM using RUU, it won't cause any problems, you have to root it again, as said before.
Leedroid IS a sense rom, check out the Desire android developement sub-forum.
For greek localization - if the Eλληνικά is for Hellenic, then yes, LeeDroid supports it .
Yes Eλληνικά is for Hellenic
I visited the Leedroid site and saw that there are some problems at the versions 2.3a-c..
Is 2.3d a more stable one?
I know that, anything isn't perferct, but leaving original rom for a custom one and having problems with it doesn't sound good to me.. :-S
With Leedroid will I be able to use market and all the applications I used?
In example, I have already backed up, my apks with Titanium backup and my SMS with SMS Backup&Restore, will I be able to restore EVERYTHING with these 2 applications to the Leedroim rom?
For the above question I 've found here this: "Not booting / Stuck after boot animation – Allow the phone time to boot after flashing. Sometimes it can take up to 5 minutes. Also don’t restore system settings using Titanium. It can cause faults (unless you want to take the risk, ONLY restore items in GREEN colour font)"
I have stopped to follow the Leedroid thread, but most of the issues are user related and not rom. So if you do a full wipe and only restore data apps (the green once) with titanium you should not have any issues.
With the Leedroid you will be able to do anything the 405.5 stock sense can do plus a bit extra.
Yes titanium is good to back up your apps, no idea about sms backup since it's not important to me. Also you home screen settings will be gone and you need to re-enter your email accounts (maybe you can also backup email accounts with titanium). However, this would also happen if you use a RUU.
If you want to flash leedroid, I assume you are rooted with unrevoked and have Clockworkmod as recovery image?
If yes:
Download this
Put it on the sd card (not in any folder)
Boot in to recovery
Nandroid (backup)
Wipe data/factory reset (this will wipe all data on the phone, the sd remains untouched), wipe cache and under advanced wipe dalvik cache
Select "install zip form sd" chose Leedroid and let it install.
This will install the noA2SD version, if you want more space for apps look in to making a ext partition on your sd card and use this file instead.
2.3d is a stable one. And some functions are working better for me as on the stock 2.2!!!
So far, no problems/freezes etc.
Market is installed, I can assure you can use it.
Titanium backup is working too (however not tried SMS backup - but it should work)
I only backup the apps that I use(d) + the data for it and the so-called "green colored settings" and TI always restored it without problems.
Thank you both for your replies!
You really encourage me to try leedroid
What is the choice at titanium backup batch processes that will backup up the applications installed with their data?
Also, I 've been reading about this so called "radio", if I 've understood well, this is responsible for the call, sms, mms recieving and sending or I am completely wrong?
If I install leedroid (the no-a2sd version) shouldn't I install a radio as well?
When should I do that? Which one? (the latest found here -> 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 ?)
To see if I am pretty sure of what I am going to do exactly:
* Download this -> trying to, getting a (5xx) error :S
* Put it on the sd card (not in any folder) ->with the name it comes? Or renaming it to "update.zip"?
* Boot in to recovery -> holding vol (-) button untill it boots to recovery, right?
* Nandroid (backup) - > select it through the choices available there..
* Wipe data/factory reset (this will wipe all data on the phone, the sd remains untouched), wipe cache and under advanced wipe dalvik cache -> select it through the choices available there..
* Select "install zip form sd" chose Leedroid and let it install.
After selecting install, what should I expect? (waiting time,etc.)
The batch process is backup all user apps + system data, and there you should uncheck the "red ones". You notice that it has the largest number on the right.
You can update the radio whenever you want, but I did after installing LeeDroid (the same way you install as the custom ROM) and no error. I am using the radio in my signature, but used 5.11.05.27 before, so I recommend to stick with that for a while.
1. The noa2sd file : LD2.3dNoa2sd
2. You don't have to rename it. Works with any name.
3. Yes
4. Yes, it is stored under backup & restore under Clockworkmod
5. correct
After install you should expect the device to rebuild the system/cache etc. - for me it took 5 mins approx, then it boots up to the home screen if everything is working correctly
Ok, so updating the radio is to be done after installing the Leedroid rom!
At last (after some tries to get the download working I started dling the file).
I might give it a try today
Will reply here, if I need any help!
Thank you very much for your help!
Careful when updating radio, this is one off the things that can brick your phone. Check md5 and don't interrupt the the process. If you don't feel comfortable updating radio, it's not essential.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Could you explain me what is the radio? :-S
By wiping data and installing a new rom, won't it be needed to update the radio? :S
Wouldn't it be deleted by the wiping process? If no, then why to update it?
As I see now the version of radio I have is:
32.49.00.32U_52.11.05.27
PS: I've already upgraded to 2.29.405.5.
As you said earlier, the radio
is responsible for the call, sms, mms recieving and sending
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
So basically it controlls the mobile network transmitter, bluetooth, wifi, etc.
And no, it won't get deleted when you do a full wipe!
Your radio is alright - I had the same when installing LD 2.3d and it will work on it 100%, so no update needed!
I really thought that it would delete everything along with the radio.. :S I still have much to learn
I finally downloaded the leedroid rom
Hello again,
I bought an 8GB class 6 microSD today.
And thinking of creating the partitions so that I can use the SD as internal memory.
Is that right?
Is there any tutorial I can read to understand this feature?
What should I do to create the partitions needed?
Thank you.
Read the first post of the ROM thread, it tells you what you need to have setup.
Then Google videos on GPartEd and use that to partition your SD card. Or just search the forum as it's been covered loads already
I know that it has been covered already. I just asked links because I am not 100% sure of what I am looking for. :S
Will look and reply here. Thank you.
Is this thread helpful for what I exactly need? :S
Also, I 've connected my mobile to the PC via USB and the icon at the "My Computer" window looks disabled. I double click on it but it says "Insert a disk at this unit...".
Could somebody please help me to prepare my 8GB microsd for the ext partitions...I haven't done this again and I am new to this..
Also any link to a tutorial would be appreciated.
Thank you!
So it's a little different from just selling it to a stranger because I don't want to just wipe everything clean. (as in return it to factory state, unrooted etc.)
I have CM10 running on the phone and I want to keep it rooted and running CM10, I just want to wipe all traces of my Google accounts and apps/data/messages/settings + also get rid of things like nandroid backup, media files, pics etc on the "sd card" directory.
If I select 'factory data reset' under settings - backup & reset in CM10, will it
1) keep CM10/root?
2) erase everything on the SD including nandroid backup, other files on the SD etc.
Thanks.

1) CM10 will be kept, but root may not be working then you only have to flash the su.zip again from recovery
2) SD card should not be affected so basically just delete the data you want to delete from it using any file manager app
Actually I like to do such things from recovery so considering you want the phone as clean as possible, then you may follow the following steps if you wish:
1) Do Full wipe from recovery
2) Install CM10
3) Install Gapps (I assume your family member will definitely need Play Store at least )
4) Install su.zip for root
5) Reboot and do not enter your google account in the startup wizard, just skip it.
Then you should have a rooted CM10 with Gapps and ready for your family member Gmail account
You're making it more complicated than needed.
1. Plug the phone to usb (or use a file manager app)
2. Delete all the folders that you don't want (or cut them for your phone to your computer to back up pictures or whatever it may be)
3. Go into recovery and wipe: dalvik, factory, cache
4. Optional: re flash rom (to latest cm), with kernel.
5. Done.

Oh yeah and I forgot flash gapps. You won't need to flash su.zip because superuser.apk is already included with cm10 as well as every other custom rom.
All superuser is a apk. Hence su.zip flashes superuser.apk into /system/apps/

Go into mounts and storage and mount system and data before you choose a zip from sd card
Also the links to jb v3 have been removed due to rule brakes - I suggest you base your guide on another rom

Go into mounts and storage and mount system and data before you choose a zip from sd card
Also the links to jb v3 have been removed due to rule brakes - I suggest you base your guide on another rom

Well, I myself flashed the zip without mounting system and data. Would you please care to tell what does this mount system and data do? Anyways thanks, I will edit my post.
Also why have the links been removed?

Mount system allows cwm to write to the system folder of your phone
Some versions of cwm when cwm is flashed have system already mounted which is probably why you got away with it
If system is not mounted the zip will still appear to of flashed but nothing will of changed

the thing is in 'permanent' cwm kernels(like savie) /system won't be auto mounted therefore you'll have to mount it manually for successfull flash as cwm can't write onto an un mounted partition . The problem doesn't seem to exist with temporary cwms.
CWM Rom Manager
Hey I would just like to know! I used this then after some reading I would like to install the rom manager from Play Store. I tried it but it seems that my Galaxy Y is not supported then it asked me if I already installed one. Is it ok to also use rom manager with this method?
I already change my ROM feom stocm to cm7, then i decide to partition my memory
But sadly after i did the partition steps you provided here, i lost 2gb from my sd and i check the link2SD storage info and found 2nd partition not mount. I click cleanup 2nd partirion too but i receive error message /data/sdext2 mount not found. I tried to mount it in CWM but nothing happens, what should i do? My internal is already full now

Tired of searching for a complete Guide to Flash JellyBlastv3 on your GT-S5360?
Well, I have something for you::::
Read On....
Warning: The Below Steps are only for Samsung Galaxy Y, GT-S5360
Performing any of the steps shall Void the Warranty of Your Device.
I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your Device or emotional loss or anything.
You are solely responsible for you actions.
The Following procedure has been tested by me and it is working correctly.
Warnings and Important Tips:
1. The process may and will erase all your data present on the device. Better backup your contacts, Messages, Calendar entries, Notes Etc. You may use Super Backup, Go Backup or SMS Backup & Restore. There are several other apps in the Market. I would recommend to backup using multiple apps.
2. A Computer should be within reach with internet. Also have a USB Cable. Wi-Fi is recommended.
3. Make sure the system is running Stock ROM and Stock Kernel.
4. Also make sure you are running latest version of android available. On Galaxy Y, it is 2.3.6
5. If not, you can update, by going into settings>about phone>software update. Sign in with Samsung Account. 6. Before proceeding further, make sure that the phone is fully charged (Recommended 70% at least). High Chances of damage are there if the device runs out of juice during flashing.
7. Proceed with caution. Avoid confusion. Follow the steps! Never Jump to next step before completing first!
8. Within Procedures if you think the battery is not enough (>70%), you can charge it before proceeding to next procedure. The Phone can’t be charged within an ongoing procedure.
9. Enable the USB Debugging option. Go to Settings>Development>USB Debugging. Check it every time.
10. It took me considerable time to type the detailed steps to make it easy for even a beginner. Be Generous.
DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON! :laugh:
I. Root
Rooting is a process by which you can get root access or administrator privileges to your Android phone and can flash tweaks, custom ROMs, custom kernels, install additional applications which requires root, use firewall etc.
Root will void your phone’s warranty but it doesn’t matter you can get it back! (Google unroot)
1. Download the the update.zip file to your SD Card (not in any folder). I have attached it with the post.
2. Switch off your phone & boot into recovery mode.
3. Press Vol Up + Power Key + Home button together at the same time to boot in recovery mode.
4. Touch screen is disabled here.
5. Use volume keys for scrolling & home button for selection.
6. Select Apply update from SD card.
7. Select update.zip (which you have downloaded).
8. When it shows Installed from SD Card complete written.
9. Select reboot system now.
10. Your phone will restart & first boot may take 5 minutes. (Mine took a few seconds!)
11. Check for an application Superuser and open it.
12. Go to Menu > Preferences > SU Binaries> Update binaries.
13. SU Binaries will update. (You need active data connection or Wi-Fi)
14. When it get updated, restart your phone.
You’re done! Your phone is now rooted.
Warning: Do not delete Superuser or you will lose your root!
II. Flash ClockWorkMod
ClockWorkMod is a Custom Recovery which lets you Flash Custom ROM, Kernels etc.
Note: This is temporary. Every time you need CWM, you have to flash it again. (For your convinience, keep it in the SD)
Instructions:
1. Enable USB Debugging by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging.
2. Download the CWM Recovery.zip file and Place that file on the root directory of your SD card. (Attached)
3. Switch off your phone .Then boot into recovery mode, (hold Volume up button + Home button + Power button).
6. Select "apply update from SD card ", find the zip file you copied to your SD card earlier.
Once done, it will give you the option to reboot your phone, reboot and you're done!
You got CWM installed, you can now flash custom ROMs.
III. Backup Stock ROM
In case, if anything happens to your device while flashing Custom ROM, backup of Stock ROM serves as a contingency plan. The Backup can be used to recover damaged device via Odin. (Now don’t ask me what’s Odin)
It can also be used to return to the Original State if ever you wish to revert back.
1. Boot into CWM by Flashing CWM again.
2. Go to Backup/Restore
3. Select Backup Current ROM. It will take a while and then it’s Done! The size of the Backup File depends upon the no. of apps installed. Generally should be around 200-400 MB.
IV. Flash Custom ROM (JellyBlastv3 by Avijit Ghosh)
DOWNLOADS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679563
INSTALLATION GUIDE:
1. Make sure that you're on Stock kernel. Stock = Factory version.
2. Remove a2sd or data2sd and format your 2nd partition if you have it.
3. Place the above file to your SD Card (NOT IN ANY FOLDER!!!)
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Flash Clockwork mode.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Wipe cache partition.
8. Go to Advanced options and Wipe Dalvik cache.
9. Go to mounts and storage->select mount/system and mount/data.
10.Now choose: Install zip from sd card.
11. Choose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose yes.
12. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.
It will be installed. Now reboot your phone. First boot will take time. Be patient.
V. Install OTA
Over The Air Updates are the updates that are released after the ROM to fix bugs and problems or to make minor changes.
Important: Apply the OTA Updates in serial-wise manner to avoid bricking.
1. Download OTA 1, OTA 2, OTA 3, OTA 4.1 and OTA 5 and place them in your SD Card.
2. Boot into CWM, Select “Install .zip from SD ” and select OTA 1. After Completion, Device will Reboot.

5. You can check for updates in OTA updater.
VI. Partitioning SD Card
On SGY GT-S5360, the Internal Memory is too low (190 MB). Every time you try to update the apps or try to Install new apps, you get the annoying message saying “ Internal Memory Full, delete some apps”. This is where Link2sd comes to the rescue!
There are also Similar apps available on the Market, but here we will be using Link2SD.
There are several ways to partition SD card, but here we will be using CWM.
Note: You need a rooted device, well doesn’t matter we have already rooted.
Note: This method will erase all your data on SD, so better backup it
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. Select Advanced options.
3. Select Partition SD Card.
4. Choose the partition size. (1024 recommended)
5. Choose the Swap size. (0 M)
6. Select “Yes”. It will take a while and then you are done! Reboot your phone.
7. Open Link2SD (or Download it from the Market). A pop-up will appear, choose ext3 (ext4 is fastest but ext3 is most compatible). Then Reboot.
8. Open Link2SD, Go to settings , then tick Auto Link.
9. Below in Auto Link settings click on all the three- Link App file, Link Dalvik Cache, Link library files.
10. Also set the Default location to external.
11. You are done. You can also link some of the existing user apps to the partition.
Now all your user applications will be linked to the SD Card, saving your precious internal memory space
Also Don’t forget to Grant Link2SD superuser permissions.
YOU ARE DONE! RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & ENJOY!!
NOW DON’T BE SELFISH! PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
The ROM has been made available by Dev Avijit Ghosh. Do not forget to thank the developer for his effort.

Somebody didn't mount system before flashing a zip in cwm did they
Failing to mount system = nothing will change
I have never flashed a ROM before, but there's a first time for everything and I'm about to take the plunge.
What I have now:
-a rooted V500
-TWRP 2.6.3.2
-a 32 gig sd card with a back-up on it made with TWRP
-Mahdi and Gapps are on the sd card.
What I want:
-flash Mahdi, try it out a bit, be able to go back to current stock with all my settings.
Questions:
1.After flashing Mahdi, if want to go back to the backed-up stock, will everything be again exactly like it is now, every single setting?
2. Can I do the same once I have Mahdi; that is customize it , make another back-up with TWRP and go back to Mahdi again whenever I want, keeping every setting?
3. So basically Q1+Q2 together; can I just use the back-ups to go back and forth between different ROM's keeping all the settings?
4. Is it possible to keep apps and/or app settings going from one ROM to another, or should I just install everything new and manually apply all settings?
5. In the Mahdi installation instructions it says:
" Copy GApps and ROM ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash Mahdi-Rom zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot"
Should I really flash mahdi+gapps and then do a wipe?
Shouldn't it be the other way around; first do a wipe and then flash?
6. in TWRP, how do I actually flash? Do I use the "install" button for that?
Too late for answers, I took the plunge.
