Guest madmerlin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 I'm trying to sample all of the different roms available however i keep coming across a problem wherby i get stuck. Currently i have r7 and am just trying to put r8 on. i have gone into Settings > Software tool > Application back up and got one of those on my sd card( just under 200mb and a .backup file) And when i try Settings > Software tool > Software Update and select the r8 zip, it reboots into recovery mode, has a progress bar acting normal for a few seconds then i presume crashes and it reboots normally. So i think im doing this all wrong anyway. But when i try to do as told in the r8 thread, when i boot into recover mode i just get the box and arrow with the little green guy ( this Photo minus the text ). From what i can gather i am then supposed to be able to use a menu, but i cannot seem to find one or activate one with button combinations. Help lol. I did try this first and then went onto paragraph 1, but now im stuck. Also when i put r7 on i pushed it from my computer.
Guest warriorscot Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 You need to follow the instructions given in the first post of the R8 it explains how you do it. And backing up the way you are doing it isn't what people are talking about when they talk about nandroid. What they are talking about is backing up with CWM which is a much more complete and flexible backup than the kind you do on the device. You need to install clockwork mod and then the R8 using clockwork or install the R8 directly with adb but without clockwork you won't be backing it up properly.

Install vega tools 3 on your pc then connect your vega to it and instaling cwm is just a buton push
