Guest Echo30 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I've been away from my i8000 for a while, and as such haven't been keeping up with the Android stuff. I had the first beta release working just fine way back when, but now the only guides I see are talking about installing a virtual machine, partitions, etc. I'm in no way knowledgeable about stuff like that (makes cruising sites like this and xda a challenge at times), so I'm wondering is there a "for dummies" install procedure at all? I could probably get the virtual machine thing down, but I don't even know what a partition is. Not to mention I just finally got My Storage back so I really don't wanna eff it up again. Many thanks. -edit- It was actually the Alpha release now that I think of it. By the time the full Beta came out, my My Storage was turfed and I had gotten another phone.

Guest Speedfrog Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 go to the main thread page 289 last post and there is a update between page 290-320, the name of the update will be something with froyo.iso or fr.iso or somehting with .iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Echo30 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks guys for the replies very much vernon_ Instructions talk about creating partitions on My Storage. Very far out of my knowledge base, but thank you for the link speedfrog I took a look through, very convoluted, I was hoping there was some sort of tutorial. Will look again later though, try to make some sense of it all. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speedfrog Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 This is the easiest way to install android. just do what he said 1.First download this and unrar it to the root of My Storage as is. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LMDVA130 2.make sure you have at least 1,2 GB free space on My Storage and copy the file fs.iso from here to the \iso folder. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5LAOKBYI 3.start haret.exe from the root of My Storage & enjoy the new Froyo. anything you didnt understand? also download the update that someone posted between the pages 290 and 320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do we use the o2b3update from page 293 post 5849 or the one on page 294 post 5877? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speedfrog Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 no, there is a .iso file between the pages that you shall copy to the /iso folder. Dont use the o2b3update, just look for the fr/froyo.iso file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hovensy Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 yes, and the you extract the files and put it in the /iso folder hi speedfrog.. does this mean that I will overwrite the first .iso file with the updated one? do I have to download and install both .iso? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speedfrog Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 no, you only need the latest .iso file (Im not 100% sure so if this doesnt work, install first with the old .iso file and then with the new .iso file, but most likely it will work to use the new one.) ------- Over 2000 posts :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GUCCI OMNIA Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) thank you o.p. for starting this topic! I really want to get android on my omnia i8000 but am waiting until it is simple enough that i can do it. i think it is still to technically advanced for me to get it almost bug-free, but hopefully this thread will show a fool-proof method in the near future. thank you!

Guest lol = ^_^ Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Installing Android on the O2 is much, MUCH, faster when you use the Froyo bundle by ritchietos. It is also much faster than an ISO installation... And the filesize is A LOT smaller :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Echo30 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Ok since this is "for dummies", I'll post the solution I discovered to my above question. The files are zipped using a program called "7 zip". Just google that and you can download software to unpack it. Then you'll be left with the "fs.iso" file to put into the iso folder. Just if anyone else is curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
