ok, trying to install my first rom here on a freshly rooted V. Heres what I've done
Used gingerbreak to unlock the phone (check)
flashed in a recovery (check)
used CWM to make a back up (check... thank God)
wiped out cache, Dakvuj Cache, /boot, /cache, /data, /system (check)
installed cm-7.2.0-p500 direct from cyanogen (fail)
When I try to install it, I get this back:
Luckily, I just hit the back button, and restored the back up I made without a problem... but, whats going on here. What am I doing wrong to get this installed?
Oh, not sure if it makes a difference but the restore I'm using is aospCWMod-VM670-20110531.img
When I put flashed the restore into the phone, it didn't like the file name, i had to rename it to 1_restore.img (guess it has to have restore in the name??).
two more questions while I'm at it I guess... with this CM7 do I need an app2sd or something like that... and, should I partition the SD card before or after installing the rom (or doesn't it make a difference)?
Thanks for any quick responses to this, I'd really like to get this working. Although I'd be more than happy to sacrifice time for answers that are pretty clear for a complete noobie to understand lol. (IE: no abbreviations that I probably won't understand anyways lol).
