GINGERBEAN FOR TECNO N3 CUSTOM ROM

Please note: the installation of custom roms can literally (i.e. practically) damage your device; henceeee, i'll say this quickly: lexsolutionz or any of its staff are not responsible for any damage resulting from any action carried out by you truly.

regardless....the pros(successes) are better than the cons (risks)...soooo...lets get modding cheesy
Nowwww, with that being said, you must follow these steps one by one
Guide to installation of Ginger-bean:
Prelude: STOP! ANSWER YES TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS B4 YOU PROCEED FUTHER!!!!!!
ask yourself the following:
a. Have you backed up all your data to your SD or PC? if not, you must do so immediately especially your contacts (goto contacts menu, import/export, backup to SD)
b. Have you done a nandroid backup of your present rom? easiest way out of a Brick? if not, you must go to google play and download "online nandroid backup". when youve done so, run online nandroid backup, you will need an internet connection to update the nandroid scripts. select clockworkmod mode, then click "start backup" (note shocked: have atlest 512MB on your SD card). the backup should take about 20 mins
c. do you have ADB driver for N3 installed? if no go here to find out how to do so:[url] http://www.nairaland.com/1261265/solution-boot-loop-bricked-techno#15537985[/url]
d. seriously know what your doing huh?

step 4- extract contents of tools_needed folder and install 7zip

step 5- use 7zip to extract the 10 split sys.yaffs2.img file (this can be done by copying them to the same folder the right clicking and selecting 7zip, extract archive)

step 6- boot your N3 into fast boot mode (this is done easily by removing the battery, and while holding volume-down button on plug in your usb cable, then wait till you see the TECNO logo displayed on the screen, wait for 5 second then release the volume-down button)

step 7 FLASHING THE TECNO:

At juncture you need to stop every other thing youve been doing while you wer doing this and concerntrate!!!

(Girl, allow that boy not to brick his phone o! and O boy, stop that Pinging O. Anyway, we have already said we'er not responsible for casualties)
[/i]were ready to flash...

At this point i'm right to guess we've all installed our ADB drivers using the [i]Android universal ADB installer
. if not go here to find out how to do so [url] http://www.nairaland.com/1261265/solution-boot-loop-bricked-techno#15537985[/url]
now, run Android AIO flasher.exe (found in tools needed folder)
next, in the AIO flasher window, the very first menu is what concerns us i.e. where its written fastboot flasher (Nandroid Restorer)(the others we shall explain in later tutorials)
click boot
click Select file(browse to where you saved the boot.img you downloaded above)
click erase
click flash

YOU MUST wait for the black window below to show "writing boot...OK" before you know its done

Congratulations your almost done!! cheesy

Simply repeat the same process for the sys.yaffs2.img file, only this time, we go:
click System
click Select file(browse to where you saved the sys.yaffs2.img you downloaded above)
click erase
click flash

once again
YOU MUST wait for the black window below to show "writing sys.yaffs2.img OK" before you know its done.
it should take about 50 seconds, depending on your system specs.

Lastly, unplug the usb cable,
now, while holding "volume-up" plug it back
keep holding volume up till you enter the Android 3e stock recovery menu.
using volume up and down to move
select "wipe cache", PRESS power button to select
when this is finished
select "wipe data/factory reset"

when this is done restart your phone
these last two steps are important..else you may have boot-loop

well..guess thats pretty much it. regarding the memory boost..i will post that momentarily.
feel free to post feedback here smiley
