I am currently using mik_os 6.5(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and Clockwork Mod recovery. I tried to install 6.5.2 on top of it (wiping cache and dalvik cache) but it gets stuck on the lg logo. After going through the first post, I even formatted /system but that didn't help either.
Finally, I flashed 6.5 and it is working fine. Any pointers would be helpful.
1) mounts and storage/ wipe cache
2) mounts and storage/ wipe system
3) wipe cache partition
4) wipe data or factory reset
5) install zip from sd card
And blowww!! You have 6.5.2 flashed ;-)

Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mount and storage-format system
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot!
just remeber to backup all ur app using titanium and restore after a fresh install and whnever u update no need to wipe anything just flash over the old version until unless mention by the dev
I didn't want to do a factory reset, however; I still went for it after doing a nandroid backup.
I followed all the steps mentioned by sshbz, but it still got stuck at the boot logo (the one with website address written).
Finally, thanks to the Nandroid backup, I reverted back to 6.5 without having to go through titanium restore.
For 6.5.2, the rom link is given in post 1 and mik_os had also posted a fix for clockword mod users.
I have tried the below
1. Install only the rom
2. Install rom and then the fix
Neither worked. I think I would have to wait for the next update now unless someone can make this work for me.

I tried searching and didn't find much help on my issue, if I missed it somewhere I apologize in advance. I am sorta new to all this but I'm starting to pick up on it. So here's my issue, hopefully someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or need to do to fix...
I downloaded the Bionix v 1.3.1. It's on the sdcard. I go into CWM Recovery, install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, scroll to bionix, select, and click yes to confirm I want to install. I get this:
-- Installing: SDCARD:bionix-v-1.3.1.zip
Finding update package...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/
mmcblk0p1)
(Device or resource busy)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:bionix-v-1.3.1.zip
Installation aborted
That's about where I'm lost? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
First, did you go into CWM Recovery and click on "Wipe data/factory reset"? When you are flashing a custom ROM, you would need to do that first, then you select install zip from sdcard (from the phone, not the external sd card), then wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, & finally Fix Permissions under the Advanced menu.
I believe you have rooted the phone with Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root, right? Well there are tutorials somewhere here on XDA that tells you how to flash. Hope this helps!
Also, when installing a custom ROM, you always have to put the zip file inside a folder called DCIM in your phone memory, not the microsd card, so you know where to install the custom roms.

Bionix 1.3.1 does not require you to wipe data,cache or dalvik.
It wipes when you flash it.
You don't put the ROM in DCIM,just the root of internal SD.
Had same problem, flash axura and stay on it for a couple days, then wipe battery stats and flash bionix and it should work

That's what I was thinking about Bionix . I have it on the root of the SD.
I'm going to try Nabeel's method with Axura for now.
Thanks for the help guys, I'll update this if I can get it to work.
BTT
Ok, well I tried flashing Axura instead from CWM, still get the exact same mount errors that I detailed in the first post. How the F do I get past the mount issue?!?! Ugh back to search and more searching I guess...
Ok finally ODIN'd back to 2.1 and that made everything so much smoother. I'm on bionix 1.3.1 now and wow its awesome

Can someone give me FULL instructions for flashing this coming from Miui AOSP, without Odin? From flashing the Rom to installing the google apps (dont know how to)... I havent flashed a WHILE. Thanks guys
im assuming you have rom manager installed for this and the rom you want installed (trigger redux) is at the root of your micro sd .... once you have those done follow the steps
1. in rom manager hit flash clockworkmod recovery then pick vibrantmtd then pick 3.x.x because we are on gingerbread
2. hit install rom from sd card and find the rom's zip folder and select it afterwords something else will pop up with 3 0ptions, put a check on all 3 (backup rom, wipe data and cache and dalvik cache) then hit install
BY SELECTING WIPE DATA AND CACHE YOUR APPS AND STUFF WILL BE GONE WHEN THE NEW ROM BOOTS UP SO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS BACKED UP
IF WIPE DATA AND CACHE IS NOT SELECTED THERE IS ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO use ODIN!!
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-backup-reinstall/tw.nicky.AppBackupReinstall
this link has an app that backs up all your apps to your sd card or you can use titanium back up to back up everything
I went from Muiu to redux and what I did is this: (might be overkill but its what I did and everything worked great)
1. Reboot into recovery
2. clear data/factor reset
3. mounts and storage > format system, format data, format cache
4. install zip from sd card > trigger redux
5. install zip from sd card > gapps
6. advanced > wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions
7. reboot
8. let rom boot up and sit for 10 mins and reboot
9. enjoy
That is the correct way ...Guy above ...

3. Just wipe dalvik cache and cache for safety...

Do a clean wipe on everything ie factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik/wipe everything than flash the ron. In your case cm7 than go to advanced in clockworkmod select reboot recovery than flash gapps then after all is done boot into recovery and flash Franco's kernel. I recommend wiping everything besides factory reset than reboot. Look at sweetnsours signature he uses 6.6.1 with the .35 family tree kernel. Anymore questions just PM me

here i am with my signature
Thanks now i am not confuse!!
I am preparing to flash mik's 6.6.1 (CM7.1-RC1) - GB 2.3.5 from Froyo.
Please clarify whether it is necessary/must to format the SD card in Clockworkmod Recovery according with the steps stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038338&page=6, i.e.:
Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
mount and storage-format system
go to mount and storage-format sd card
advanced-partition sd card-choose 512 mb (preferable)or 1024 mb (it automatically creates ext 4 partition, class 6/4 is preferred)
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot
Please note that I had already re-arrange my SD-card partition (1GB is assigned for EXT4, and the rest is FAT32) by MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. As far as I understand wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache have already deleted everything in the phone and SD-card (even whatever stores in FAT32 partition.
Many thanks!!!
Hi Guys i have a few question on Flashing. I have been reading a lot from this site but i still have a few doubts before i can flash without question.
I own a I9100G and i flashed supermatos kernel using Odian as a result i got CWM, using recovery mode of this cwm i installed super Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374135) (zip) from sd card.
My questions
1)If now i wnt to go back to a completely stock ROM do i need to use Odian only or i can use CWM?
2)Flashing custom ROM using CWM do i always need to wipe data/factory reset and in mount & storage always select format /system partision?
3)Once during flashing I did make a backup using CWM and wanted to flash a new Custom ROM so i wipe data/factory reset and also chose format/system partision and when i went to chose the zip from sd card to my surprise neither was the zip there nor was my previous backup. why did this happen?
I knw they are a lot of noob questions but i need to clear them to flash more comfortably

ODIN

No just follow the roms instructions

You formatted the sd card .
You can always copy the clockwork mod folder to your external sd card or PC .

Hi!
- I have LG G2 mini D620r with stock 5.0.2 Android. Phone has unlocked bootloader, is rooted and TWRP 3.0.2 recovery is flashed.
Few days ago I installed CM13 just to try it and then returned to stock OS. Before flashing custom ROM i used to wipe dalvik, system, data and cache partitions. Now my question is what would happen if I add interal memory partition to list of 4 aforementioned partitions? I know that it would delete all the data in internal memory (and that's what I want to do, because I want my phone to be like it was before it was used for the first time), but would it be able to boot up to OS? I don't won't to flash a kdz file or something like that.
- Also, I can't seem to enter recovery through button combination. I tried all combinations I could find on the internet. When holding volume down + power button for a few seconds i gat an option to hard reset the phone. Only way to get into TWRP is to use QuickBoot app. Anyone having any ideas what could I do?
Triggering a hard reset with a custom recovery installed boots into that recovery.
Wiping internal memory will wipe everything under /sdcard. Not the external one. The built-in one.
To do a complete factory reset, in recovery choose /data and format it as ext4. Don't simply wipe it, or it will leave everything under /sdcard there, while a format will delete them.

Well you just keep on helping!
Thanks.
Just to be clear these are the steps:
TWRP> Wipe> Advanced Wipe> select partitions: Dalvik, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, System
After that I go to:
TWRP> Wipe> Format Data> type yes
Is that correct procedure?
After all this has been done will my phone boot up to stock Android 5.0.2 or would I have to flash some kdz or custom ROM?
Where can I find option to format /data partition as ext4?
1. Yes your steps are correct.
2. Your phone will not boot up to Android because you don't have ANYTHING on your phone. You just wiped the rom that was running on it. There are a few threads that have flashable stock Android that you can use. Worst case scenario you can always flash kdz. HERE under Custom Rom>lollipop you will see links to [stock] zips.
3. Pretty sure formatting data will format it by default to ext4.
