Hi,
This is my second time flashing a rom. I own a rogers captivate and I rooted and flashed to Darky's v7.0 (2.2 Froyo) NO WIPE.
I want to change the rom to Doc's ROM JPY V6.2 CE.
All i know is that I have to copy the .zip folder in sd card folder and flash it using rom manager. Do I have to do the same to flash with this one?
I have read all over the forum and I read that I am supposed to flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash again to a different rom(any other rom). Someone also told me that if I have a NO WIPE version of rom installed then I don't need to flash back to 2.1. Is this true? Can someone please confirm this?
1. Should i just download the rom and just flash through rom manager(if yes, then skip q#2) or change to stock 2.1 first?
2. If i have to change back to stock 2.1, i think I have to use something called ODIN. Can someone explain me the process please? and I dont know where to get stock rogers 2.1 rom. I looked all over the forum.
3. I do not want to overclock my phone cpu. The main post on DOC's rom says that I have to flash a kernel through CWM after first boot. I dont know what CWM means or how to use it. Any instructions?
4. Should I install the Wipe version or the NON-wipe version? and what is the difference? I like changing roms once in a while and I might change it again but I dont know which one I should use.
5. Is this a 2.1 eclair rom or 2.2 froyo? How do i figure it out without installing?
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these questions.
Thanks a lot.
I have always just booted into recovery mode with CWM and flash the zip that way as it works for any rom i have tried so far. I have rom manager but never used it to load a rom since CWM works flawlessly everytime for me.
The simple answer is if your changing ROMs (i.e. Cognition to Perception) - should flash back to stock then load the new ROM.
If your just updating an existing ROM and it has the "no-wipe" version? Then you should be able to run the *.zip provided following the instructions given (most likely through ROM Manager/CWM)
Hi guys recently rooted and installed CWM.
But I have no idea where to start on roms. I have kk9 stock rom, does this mean I have to kk9 based roms or can I just install any I want?
Also is there any recommended cwm guides to make sure I don't brick my note?
you can flash all CWM flashable roms you are not limited to kk9 only roms.
actually using it is very easy but dont a guide for it.
Hey I got Motorola Milestone with MIUI rom and android verision 2.2.1
hmm I wanna flash to the rom "ho!no! mod cm7.2.0 ICS edition" and just wanted to ask if I have to do something before I: "Copy zip file in sd\OpenRecovery\updates\ folder. Reboot in Recovery and apply update!"
like they siad in the HOW TO INSTALL Instructions, I mean like wipes or changing to Stock Rom or installing 2.3.7 stock rom?? Just to make sure I do it right xDD

Hello, I'm sorry .. I've searched a lot before opening this thread but I didn't find what I need.
First: I downloaded a new stock firmware for my region (Egypt - April 2012) but I couldn't flash it because I'm using Ubuntu Linux. Stock needs Odin, and Odin needs ****ty Windows!
Second: No way to flash stock firmware directly from Linux for our SGM. Heimdall isn't compatible, Running Odin via Wine/VM can brick my phone because the USB Drivers in Linux different from the others in Windows, I can't buy Odin for Mobile (and I don't know if it support our device), CWM recovery cannot flash stock ROMs (but it can flash stock-based modded ROMs).
Finally: I discovered that I can use the same way of modding (Stock-Based ROMs) to Make it CWM Flashable so I can use it without passing with windows. The problem that I can't find a Guide to put my foot in the start of the way!
All Modding Guides are for Custom ROMs (or For other Models Stock ROMs).
Should I use a Kitchen Like dsixda to ease the process? Should I replace the Kernel? Is there some files must be changed??
Regards,
Anass Ahmed.

Hi. First of all u must extract a stock rom from system.rfs and keep boot.img .... Next, u should use dsixda kitchen to make a flashable zip: (i think you are able to configure it)
And just select working folder and build your rom i think u don't need to edit kernel... But, sorry for question: why u don't use a custom rom?? Or try minimod x that is a stock rom very fast?? Just my opinion hope i helped you... Give me news about it!!

I said that I want to use it for my region (Egypt). Many of Stock-Based ROMs here don't include Arabic language and if included it have wrong letter connecting and some other issues. So I decided to flash stock for my region then modify it to suite my needs and simulate stock based ROMs here.
Thank you for your help!

Don't you have a friend who has a Windows PC? If I were you, I would ask a friend to let me use his/her Windows PC for 15 mins to flash the latest egypt stock rom rather than messing the whole package, deodexing it and what not..
with the help of make ISO extract system.rfs then copy it the content to a working directory copy boot.img and create a flashable.zip

OK, I can mount System.rfs by "mount" command. then I will copy it to "stock_based" directory, and start dsixda kitchen to Deodex it, Root it, install busybox and so on.
Where do I copy boot.img to? How to make it flashable.zip? via dsixda kitchen?
Sorry for my bad English .. and Thanks for your helping.

note:- you cannot flash any stock rom over cm7, miui rom it will not boot
download emanon rom extract it to somewhere delete the system folder of emanon rom and copy there the system folder of the stock rom. replace the boot.img of emanon rom with the stock one
go to meta-inf and delete all the three cert files if available and flash with cwm recovery
if you want to create update package manually go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633025

I know, I will use MoRe 1.4.
this information Exactly what I need, and this topic is very important for me. Why didn't you add it to your signature?!
Why do I delete cert files, will the kitchen add them or what?
Another Question: do I need to deodex Stock or MoRe before beginning the process? and why don't you write a tutorial for customising Stock ROMs and adding some cool stuff (toggles, transparency, battery icons and so on)??
Thank you very much.

cert files contains the md5sum of the package which have been changed by doing all this that's why we are deleting it kitchen will not install cert files they will be installed while signing packages
remember more rom is related with nothing
odex apks are great due to ram consumption, but deodex apks can be installed just be copying (odexed needs to be flashed) choice is yours
I didn't written any tut about adding stuff to rom because I myself don't how to add
