[GUIDE][SCRIPT] Install/Restore 4.1/4.2 ROMs without Odin
- Thread starter AntaresOne
- Start date
How do I know if it is mounted?
If it says unmount - it is mounted. If it says mount it is unmounted.
As I know, baseband is not changing with flashing ROM. It should only change when you flash firmware with Odin.
Yes, the same. On 4.3 and 4.4 ROMs preload partition is swap. 4.1 stock/stock-based and 4.2 ROMs cannot boot when preload partition is swap instead of ext#, just flash this to restore them
Flashable zip updated to v2, no more need to see first if system is mounted. Just flash it to go!

20If you want to install or restore a CM10.1-based or stock-based ROM while you are on CM10.2/11 based ROM without using Odin you are into right place.
Automatic process with Recovery-flashable zip:
- Download Format-Preload-RecoveryModeV2.zip and put it into sdcard
- Reboot device in recovery and install the zip, no need to reboot after flashing
- Now you can install or restore any CM10.1-based ROM!!
Semi-automatic process with Linux/Windows script - needs ADB
To use only if Automatic process doesn't work for you
- Reboot device in recovery and connect to USB
- Download Format zip depending on your OS. Then:
Manual process with ADB
To use only if either Automatic and Semi-automatic don't work for you
- Boot device into recovery mode, connect it to USB
- Open ADB and type in order:
Code:[B]adb devices[/B] (to be sure that device is recognized, you see some numbers followed by "recovery" word) [B]adb shell su parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs (now wait 2 sec and confirm with Y) 9 ext2[/B]
Little explanation: Preload partition is used as swap partition from CM10.2 and up in our device, without formatting it (format /preload when is a swap partition doesn't work in CWM, at least for me. Parted can't format in ext4, so we need to format in ext2) you get bootloop when you install/restore a 10.1 ROM.8There is one more way too without using pc and adb..
Boot into recovery and format /system.(optional)
Now install any CM10.1 ROM on top of CM10.2.
Then go to advance option in CWM recovery and choose "reboot recovery".
Now when phone reboots into recovery, go to mount and storage and format /preload and /data.
Now reboot.
The rom will boot up normally.
I was on carbon ROM and successfully booted the MIUI using the following method..
Thanks to @Toni5830 for letting me know this method..33
