I want to install a ROM on my phone, but I just haven't had any luck.
My phone is rooted. I have bootstrap Recovery installed. I have dl'ed the ROM to the root of my SD and have followed the instructions of other posts. I cleared the Data and Cache and it will load up normal, no ROM. Any tips. Do I need to install the OTA update?

Did you mount system also along with data?

Yes you NEED to mount system and to be safe data as well, if you dont you might bootloop your phone.

I mounted the SD. Is that what you mean?

 

[Cloppy]

Sdcard is separate. There is an option to mount /system in the recovery.

Let me give that a try. THX

It says it is mounted. Do I need to unmount and remount it again?

No heres install directions

-bootstrap recovery
-reboot recovery
-MAKE A BACKUP!!!!!!!
-wipe cache
-wipe data/factory reset
-go to mounts and storage
-mount /system (it will read "unmount /system" when mounted)
-mount /data (it will read "unmount /data" when mounted)
-install zip from sdcard
-choose zip from sdcard
-choose your rom and install it
-reboot system now

And you should then have a succesful install

I really recomend squidly's rom, it has a nice theme and is faster than the rest.

When it is mounted it should say "unmount /system" then you install the zip

Help getting root for phone

I know this is the wrong place to post but don't know where else to post or ask. My wife was given a Samsung Instinct HD (SPH-M850) for our Sprint account. I would like to root it and can't find any info on how to root it or even where to find the files.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advanced,

I rooted my phone and when I did so,I lost the stock widgets, like the clock with the weather inside of it if you know what I mean. Is there any way to get it back , or do I have to go back to stock?
