Guest velvetkevorkian Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 I have searched around but didn't find much that was relevant to my situation. Apologies if there was something I missed. Hello! I've been trying to upgrade my Orange San Francisco to Android 2.3- I flashed it with 2.2 (Japanese Jellyfish ROM, IIRC) when I first got it last year with no problems, but trying to flash a 2.3 ROM has been a bit of a nightmare. To begin with, I booted into ClockworkMod (3.0.0.6), cleared the user data and cache and installed a ROM from the SD card (Swedish Snow rls 6). When formatting, it came up with a message stating "No app2sd partition found" - in retrospect, I wonder if this was the start of my issues? Anyway, I thought it wasn't an issue and flashed the ROM- it said it installed but when I go to reboot, it just displays the Android logo then switches off and repeats. I've tried with two different SD cards, with the same result. I also tried downloading the latest version of CWM and flashing that: I'm not entirely clear on how that should work- I zipped the CWM .img file into update.zip, put it on the SD card and tried to update it via CWM, but that came back with an error saying "Installation aborted"- is there a different method for that? Currently, the phone will boot into ClockworkMod (3.0.0.6) but when I try and install a ROM (tried Swedish Snow and CM7) it says it's installed then does the same. I've tried the first 3 methods from this thread: CWM doesn't seem to work, as above. FastBoot only detects the device when it enters CWM, and nothing seems to happen. Using a TPT image just gives me green text: "Error! Error! Error!" and hangs. Method 4 won't work as I can only boot to CWM and method 5 is obviously a last resort. I can still mount the SD card to computer via CWM. Can anyone suggest what I can do here, or what I need to work out? Thanks!
Guest velvetkevorkian Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Just repartition your sd in CWM OK, does it matter what size the partitions are? I have a 2gb card in at the moment, also an 8gb one kicking about.

Guest velvetkevorkian Posted April 5, 2012 Report Posted April 5, 2012 Got it sorted out, cheers! Looks like this was entirely of my own making- I could have sworn I had a gen2 device but apparently not. Moral of the story: double check before hand, don't be an idiot like me. Will do a gen1-gen2 conversion at a later date. Thanks for the assistance.
