Some help with my monte carlo please? :(

[Guest Shens]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping I could get some help here. :) Earlier today I decided to try and flash my Monte Carlo via the help of http://montecarlophone.co.uk/

I followed all of the instructions provided and made it to Clockwork Recovery mod - when I go to "choose zip from sdcard" and then select Skatie's ROM (v1.1), it attempts to install the package but then says "Installation Aborted". I can no longer do anything with my phone and I'm rather confused as to what to do next.

Thanks for reading. :)

What installation option of skatie have you tried? In case of installing through cwm, you have to use option2...

Option 1 is for tpt type of flash. It's all written in skatie topic so try reading it once again.

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

I did install TPT and I do have it by pressing Up/Menu/Power button. However, no matter what I do, it always says "Installation Aborted" when trying to install it.

And like a fool, I didn't make a backup of my old ROM so I'm a little stuck. Apologies, I'm really new to this. :(

[Guest C3C0]

I don't understand. You either use option 1 (tpt) or option 2 (cwm), not both.

[Guest Shens]

OK, sorry. I'll try to explain exactly what I did.

I used this site and followed its instructions with a custom ROM which is the Skatie one:

Obviously, this hasn't worked, hence my dilema.

Sounds like you have tried to flash option 1 Skatie through CWM. Put option 1 on SD Card and press power, menu and volume up. Should boot in Skatie

[Guest C3C0]

Try to follow the instructions in my original thread:

[Guest Shens]

I'm such a tool, option 1 failed because the actual download was corrupted. Option 2 is installing now.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your time. :)

Also take your time to checkout my other rom that's based on newer android. You might like it.

[Guest Shens]

Dakujem! If I'm honest, I had enough trouble updating once and I'm loving how fast everything is now with this rom.

I'll definitely give your other one a go in the future though. Thanks again.

[Guest C3C0]

No problem. If you're staying with skatie for now, I encourage you to use online kitchen to update to the latest 2.4 version (if you already didn't)
