http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...16940&page=1004

As for InsertCoin, have 2 version, is it CM7 R2 HBOOT(need S-OFF) &
STOCK HBOOT(don't need S-OFF)?

both http://revolutionary.io/ & http://alpharev.nl/ are 2 different way to S-OFF?

Added on September 28, 2011, 8:25 pmAs for InsertCoin 1.1.3 stated, now can't flash without S-OFF, but I can't get the tutorial with that...
The most terrible thing is, I can't understand the requirement to flash InsertCoin...

A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
mean I need flash to CM7 r2 hboot from alpharev.nl(required root?)? flashed a hboot mean S-OFF?
after flash hboot, i need partition my SD card into ext2/3/4 partition(each partition 1GB?)?

A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition

U can flash the stock version if u dont have s-off. Have u rooted or not?

My suggestion is to read and understand everything related to rooting stuffs. That's the main point.

You can disregard this suggestion but in the end you will suffer if something bad happen to the phone.



anyway,

If you still have Froyo (2.2), you still can use unrevok3d method. This the easiest method to root. Plus it will installed Clockworkmod recovery. *This still S-ON*

If you already updated to Gingerbread (2.3), use revolutionary tool. But this only give 'root' and S-OFF. This method you have to push 'recovery' via fastboot after getting S-OFF..

p/s: correct me if I'm wrong.

Haven't, I researching till end so that I won't be stuck in the progress...can u check my following instruction?

I'm going to InsertCoin 1.1.3 A2SD+ version, as it don't required S-OFF(too advance for me )
1) Root, via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
2) Unlock bootloader via http://revolutionary.io/ (I do this cause it is required as stated in http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/installation/, but, is this step considered S-OFF?)
3) check this downloaded zip file(http://www.multiupload.com/H1MUCCQB0W) by using md3sum (download at http://etree.org/md5com.html)
4) then follow "How do I flash InsertCoin ROM?" at http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/installation/

The InsertCoin ROM requirement is:
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
I don't understand what is "1 gB ext2/3/4 partition",
is it I need to make 3 partition on my SD card? which is ext2(1GB), ext3(1GB) and ext4(1GB)?
using this instruction(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7279872&postcount=3), Gparted method?

Added on September 28, 2011, 9:56 pmya,I'm still on Official Froyo 2.2, will root my phone soon via unrevoked method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044)

Why dont u whath this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
it explain everything.just follow the steps.
The insercoin rom need 1gb of ext partition of any type. u can create this using gparted or cwm. just watch the vid fromthe link.it explain everything.

wao,thanks,you gave me a very useful link
but bro,1 question...as I looking for InsertCoint A2SD+ version,it don't required S-OFF...
is it can can direct flash with the ROM after root my phone?
but it is also required 1GB extended partition, don't partition a SD card must required S-OFF?

wa bro, started to play custom rom ya?? hmmm i didnt S-off mine, if u wish to root insertcoin with custom hboot, s-off is a good idea.. be sure u know what u are doing.. im on my MIUI right now.. thinking which sense rom to flash.. XD

There is also a video to make ext partition using goarted on the link i gave.

with A2SD+ version, there is no S-OFF required and i don't see the point if u try to S-OFF. Anyway, no harm doing S-OFF, with S-OFF u may flash custom hboot which may be useful for ur next custom rom. Partitioning SD card doesnt required S-OFF, i do it using Amon RA 2.0.0, the clockmod recovery shd be able to do that, correct me if im wrong

surprise with your appearance
I'm too noob...just finish exam,research for many days dy, still not really understand with it. just follow instruction lo...
I'm looking for flash the ROM without S-OFF it, but still blur with the requirement...

Er i can recommend a rom with D2SD, without need to touch the S-off thingy, then u can use EXT4 as ur internal memory. downside is u must sacrify ur SD card space and need a good class SD card, at least class 4 above

1GB means make 1 external partition using ext 2/3 or 4 partition.. ext 2/3/4 are Linux Partition types, similar to like NTFS/FAT32 for Windows (that kind of stuff)

and no, 1 partition is enough but doing so will wipe your sd storage so backup on Desktop/Laptop/Notebook/Whatever.

No need gparted (they should really get rid of that shit), use a decent recovery and it's all good.

Look for 4Ext

and since you mentioned you don't want to S-OFF (too complicated for you??), skip revolutionary step.

Just root (use custom recovery - Look for 4EXT or CWM 3.0.0.5 [4ext is promisingly good - imo])
You can do most of the things on Recovery already. (like Phone wiping before Flash....Flash...make microsd partitions..)
of course can't S-OFF with Recovery though. but you will find Recovery useful once you will be flashing a fair bit to find a suitable ROM for your needs.

I think you should be alright.
Take note of the MISC: error after-flash though (Incase it happens which it tends to, sometimes - not to me but on 3rd root kena dunno caused by what...flash record too long, a lot of fastboot command-ing so...)
^ Anyway if you look around in xda (Dev Sec) SHOULD have a solution.

Happy Flashing. (And don't worry about bricking- it won't happen unless when it's putting fake-flash into your phone, suddenly power KO and you got no UPS/using laptop battery then GG.

Bro ShinnKQ, darowen is still new in flashing stuff.. lol.. previously i asked him to root his phone he dun wan listen, i can even do for him at that time. now he gotta start from scratch..

darowen, rooting need guts 1, hahaha.. dun care brick.. brick d get sensation XE

level up must gain from experience ma,last time bought Legend, don't even know what is Eclair and Froyo, then you ask me root, how dare I am...
I study a subject from my course just spend few days, this flashing stuff...spend me 1 week++

rooting is simple, just mayb u hvn do it before, this sunday bring ur laptop.. i show u how to do.. root it 1st, then dl a few rom then i show u how easy to flash a rom. way too easy compare to winmo 6.5

Woosh, rich It looks nice but I don't really believe in the improvements in terms of Audio, teaming up with Beats though.

Oo I see.
Our phone arh, if you don't root very hard to survive one.

The feeling of being restrained is very obvious...Lack of memory space lah....Junk softwares which you can't remove lah...

rooting guts haha.. Just think of the benefits mate, always think about the benefits...

Due to our phone's hardware-software limitations by default, I strongly suggest rooting. The advantage is good.

Of course, if someone gets a phone like Nexus...just get a good Launcher (Go Launcher/ADW) is good enough and no rooting is required (as it will have 1GB for you to use - or possibly more idk, but eitherway, beats 130mb no?)

so..yeah... Won't regret.

Oh speaking of which.

Recommend you guys this Recovery. Not sure about for S-ON though, but I feel this is a much better Recovery compared to picking either CWM or Amon Ra.

im aiming at htc ruby (amaze), spec make my saliva drop
agreed that rooting bring more benefit than stock rom.. now on MIUI, doesnt really like it very much. AOSD is not my type, sense is always my favourite. I m on D2SD rom, however, it lags over time.. shit

really can't survive without root or flash it...so little memory, now my phone just installed few app only

Design looks good, but spec is boring :/

SmartShot, BurstShot, SweepShot, ClearShot - Camera , good App can do all that.

Non Nvidia Chip can't play Nvidia games.

aside from that, all standard specs if you ask me. Still prefer Nexus for it's up-to-date software updates... =) 4.65 inch yo..Full HD too

Data2Whatever I heard it's fast on class 10 SD.

Do you think Ext 4 wears off microsd faster? (Shorten Lifespan that is)



lol @ Darowen, told you de, this phone you don't root, you are torturing yourself.
