[Q] how do i get miui?

[kendall316]

hey guys, im trying to flash the miui 1.6.24 rom onto my 2.2 fascinate. ive tried twice now and everytime i i try and flash, it starts the download for about 5 seconds, then just keeps rebooting the phone and says cant mount and does a countdown from 20 then reboots and repeats. i have had to odin back to stock 3 times already from this. any ideas why this is not working? and how can i get it to work? Thanks in advance

Have you read how to flsh to the cm7 & miui thread. Make sure you have the correct kernal, gapps and recovery. I think that is why you maybe getting stuck. Be sure to read how to get back to other roms if you choose to go back.

no i cant find that thread. the only one i can find is the how to go from cm7 or miui to another rom. but im trying to do the opposite

 

[kendall316]

it just keeps saying "waiting for SD Card to mount" and counts down. then just keeps repeating

Can anybody help me?

I came from Nameless v4.1 and have a thread in Q and A that answers this but I'll tell ya how, it's basically the same steps since I odined back to stock.

Make sure that you have Andmer's latest miui build on the root of your SD card. Then assuming you already use the latest recovery (I had time's blue recovery) , wipe the big 3 (data, cache, delvik) > install from SD card > choose the miui rom > have a little patience > profit.

For me it did the count down 4 times before it actually mounted and finished the install. I don't know if the size of the SD card effects it in any way, concidering I'm only using a 4g, but it may take awhile. Again these are the steps I took and I haven't had any problems other than the one's already stated.

Yeah when it was doing the countdown I let it go before for about a half hour and it still list kept doing it and I had to Odin back to stock again. I didn't have the rom on the root of the SD card, I had it in a folder entitled root that I put all my roms on. I don't know if that would really make a difference

 

[DrkGhst87]

To be honest I'm not entirely sure. I've always put it on the root of the sd card. I guess at this point it wouldn't hurt to try. And again I'm not sure if the size of the card comes into play considering I'm using just a 4g card and not my stock 16g. Maybe someone else with more experience and overall know how can chime in to help. Sorry if I couldn't be of any help.

Maybe a bad d/l ?
I just switched to cm7 from miui then back and had no issues
Try redownloading

Yeah I'm not using the stock card either. I'm using a 2gb Samsung and a 8gb sandisk. And I don't think its a bad download cuz I've tried doing it with all 3 versions of miui and it did it to all of them and the new cm7 and the cm7/miui kernel. I could get the old cm7 but when trying to flash the new one I get the countdown

 

[kendall316]

I just tried again and let it do the countdown for a half hour so it tried about 40 times to mount the card. Any other suggestions?

I'm also needing a bit of advice on how to install MIUI on my Fascinate...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139400&highlight=AOSP+Gingerbread

Trying to install that. Downloaded the packages, but not sure what to do from there. I was going to load them into ODIN, but realized they aren't regular tar.gz packages...can I just load it with ROM Manager or what? I'm currently on 2.2.1, "Super Clean version 2.9 - EB01/EC16 Froyo leak root+Froyo Clockworkmodwith MALWARE protection".


Not to hijack, but seems we have similar questions.

You need to load in CWM, ROM manager is not compatible with the newer roms

Yeah trying to load MIUI 1.7.1 also and keep getting the error 7. Do we have to do it through odin?! cleared data, cache and dalvik, still no go. Did putting it in root make a difference? why cant it just work like the other roms lol! Sorry for taking your Thread away kendall316!

Thanks in advance if anyone figures it out! if i do, will post it.
