Okey Dokey, Did that. I watched the install and there were errors:fireboss: redownload all links above, it is possible that something went wrong with the download process and a bit is missing somewhere.
-copy the rom of your choice to your SDCard (Team Komin recommends Andromeda3, but any will work)
-put the phone into download mode and flash ursa minor tar file using Odin3 1.7
-let it run though it's operation until it boots normally.
-remove the usb cord, press and hold 3 buttons to reboot into recovery
-select zip from SDCard- Andromeda3.zip
E:Can't Mount /dev/block/st110 file exists came up 4 times, maybe more as it scrolled off the screen a bit.
Error Mounting /datadata/1 came up at least once
So I did it again remember your video that said if you get the errors do it again.
After the reboot, Ursa Minor screen for about 10 seconds, the animation screen ran and finally the Giorgio Armani screen. Thirty seconds after the Armani screen appears the phone vibrates once, 5 seconds later it vibrates twice. Forty five seconds after Armani appears the screen goes black (even with me touching it), 15 seconds after that the phone goes through the vibrate once, 5 seconds later vibrate twice cycle. Every thirty second after that the vibrate cycle repeats, The screen stays black but touching the buttons on the bottom makes them light up. I pulled the battery, waited and restarted but I get the same cycle. Droid Explorer connects when I attach the USB cable and I can look around. Now what?
OK after catching a post back in the original thread I went to a Mobile Tech Video - actually a 3 part video - on how to install a ROM. IT was a bit OBE but after watching it I did the following:
Used Super One Click to Root the phone when needed. Decided later I could probably have used AIO toolbox; maybe next time,
Using Odin One Click Restored the stock ROM
Did a Master Clear
Using AIO Toolbox I chose Flash Custom Rom and selected Andromeda 3
Installation went smooth as glass, Ursa Minor did her thing and the phone up and ready to go.
Thanks to Adam and everyone who helped for their help and patience. I don;t recall beating myself up like this doing the Windows phones but perhaps I have selective memory. Perhaps I learned something. . . .or not I never know
Now to donate to the folks whose tools allowed me to get this done
