How to make clean installation on SGS

Hi there,
I had 2.3.4 and it had error and decided to install 2.3.5 and now i have a same problem, could you please advise how to make CLEAN installation by deleting all old system files? I did factory reset and cache cleaning before and after installation but that not helps as i guess that not touch system files.
Please advise. Thank you.

go to advanced and then format system, that will clean all system files. You can the flash whatever, make sure you have a backup.

Nope, I dont have cwm recovery on my phone, how to install it?
And is that OK if i perform full system format and only then will install new ROM trough ODIN?
Thanks

I'd just flash a rom that comes with cwm. There's plenty, then yes, Odin flash whatever rom you like.

download JVS from a xda thread or samfirmware.com
flash it via odin1.7 or odin1.8 with repartition ticket
there is many guides floating aaround searching is a good way to start
cheers

well if you have recovery 2e (go into recovery mode and the writing should be blue and say the the top recovery 2e) it's as simple as downloading ROM manager from the market, clicking flash clockwork mod, restarting then booting into recovery. if you're in 3e you might have to use odin

Thank you all! I made root and advanced recovery where I formatted system, made delvik cache, etc, cleaned everything and installed again 2.3.5 but i still receive original error...after call i loose connection and see that error "Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." After i push "Force close" connection become available again...
That problem started when i installed 2.3, then i tried 2.3.4 and same error, now after system format on 2.3.5 same error..
Any ideas?

[Q] Restore to Factory Defaults

So I've got a Sprint-branded Optimus Black. Rooted the device via SuperOneClick, and installed Clock Work Recovery Mod. Unable to flash any rom, get error "error in /sdcard/<romname>.zip Error Status 1". Checked MD5s, all match.
So I decide to restore to factory defaults. I go to Settings, Privacy, Factory data reset. When I do this, the phone only restarts to Clockwork Recovery mod. It will only boot into CWM unless I "wipe cache partition". After this, I can boot into stock OS.
So what the hell is going on here? My goal is to get CM7 running on this device.
What do I need to do to get this going?
I didn't see any solutions in my forum search. I would appreciate some input.

Sprint-branded eh ?
are you talking about Black or Maquee ?
cuz they're both twin brother, but Marquee runs in CDMA
CMIIW

But though doesnt have anything to do with booting problems, he only wouldnt have network.
Your issue can be solved as follows.
As u said, u want CM7 on your device, download the nightly version, that you like.
boot to recovery, make full wipe (factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, wipe battery stats (both under advanced) ), go to install zip from SD card, choose zip, install it, reboot and enjoy
But as it seems, that your not that familiar with modding, flashing and so on, better first read some on those topics, in order to get the needed knowledge

I've already attempted to install CM7. My first post explains this. Let's review the situation:
* Rooted
* Installed CWM
* Attempted to install CM7, got status 1 error.
* Attempted to wipe phone, but it only boots into CWM.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I want to restore the phone to stock, and install CM7.
Anyone got a solution? If I can provide any other info that would be helpful, let me know.

where did you flash CM7 from ?
Rom Manager ? or Recovery ?
it boots into CWM,then, can you wipe it from CWM ?

Did u follow all my steps? Download (maybe try a different nightly version), Boot to CWM, Wipe EVERYTHING, as mentioned above, flash zip and everything should be fine

I've tried flashing cm7 both via rom manager, and directly in recovery. Same error (status 1).
It seems I am somehow unclear about my problem. Here are some images:
If I try to factory reset via Settings, Privacy, Factory Data Reset, the phone restarts, and boots into ClockworkRecovery Mod.
https://imgur.com/pFTh6
It will not boot to the Android OS until I perform "wipe cache partition".
If I try to flash cm7 (I've try five different nightlies) via CWM, I get this.

Again, I have full root. I have CWM installed. I have tried several versions of cm7, checked the MD5 on each one.

I've performed a full wipe from CWM, yes. I still get the same error.

Update ur cwm... u have version 3.x i think 4 or 5 should be normal... so go to rom manager, select install cwm and install latest version. It might also be, that ur phone isnt compatible with cm.
Is it really p970, or is it maquee, or p970h? Check it pls ;-)

If I go to Settings, About Phone, it is listed as Model # LG-LS855.
If I go to ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", it detects the phone as a "LG-LS855". Then it throws up an error that says:
"LG-LS855 does not have any officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
To which i can answer yes, or no.
So, how should I go about updating my CWM if Rom Manager tells me it isn't officially supported?

Just checked and my version is v5.0.2.6
Edit
I just checked your pics and it seems you have lg marquee and there are no nightlies availiable yet...
Check here:

Maybe google lg marquee cm7 and see if you can find a port... otherwise ur bound to stock rom i guess...

Interesting... Thanks for your help.
So since I have a Marquee, I'd like to remove the CWM I have installed and just stay on stock with root.
How do I remove CWM?

The best probably is, to simply flash a fresh version of your software via B2C, then noone will see it has ever been rooted.

[Newbie needs help 2] I Just installed temasek's KANG build

I'm new here and the first ROM I've tried installing was RC1 91 but after I finished the procedure, my phone doesn´t leave LG home screen and rebooting after 5 sec. What did I do wrong?
Steps:
- Root;
- Download the ROM;
- Copy in external memory;
- Power off the phone;
- Boot in recovery;
- Backup current ROM;
- Wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset;
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Finally, flash ROM and reboot.
And the restore isn´t work too.

Do you have p990 or p999?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA

P990 and i was running 2.3.4 V20l Euro Open

What recovery version do you have?, the CWM "touch" version HAS issues with flashing, try an older version , non touch, also its a lot better flashing from the external SD card than the internal memory (a.k.a. internal SD). (I use 5.0.2.7, you can grab it at Temasek thread, second post)
I had flashing issues and here is how they are throubleshoted:
1: Reflash, sometimes CWM (recovery) make bad flashes, reflash, sometimes it work.
2: Format everything, choose factory reset, then flash again, no need to wipe cache or dalvik because everything is wiped except recovery.
3: Use a script to get partition back to ext3, when a rom uses ext4 it automatically changes it BUT when you install a ext3 rom it does NOT reformat back to ext3, it leaves it in ext4 and thus doesnt work.
4: Try another rom, an older or a different rom, I had this issue with topogigi rom once and the modaco rom its 100% incompatible with my phone... dont ask why no one knows.
5: Use a different CMW version, this is no. 5 if you have a non touch version (mine for ej. has modded menus) but if you have the touch version it has issues with flashing, temasek had problems with his own roms...

you're missing one thing you should format/data factory reset first. of course the restore doesn't work because CM7 converts yours system to ext4. while stock rom the system is ext3.
you should try this script
Code:
http://etana.donka.hu/?dir=scripts
if you like you should full wipe or use nvflash recovery there is a thread there in development thread or from this one
Code:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
.
the difference between that script and nvflash is the method. vadonka scripts use CWM. and nvflash use the driver for your computer, if you use method nvflash you have already rom v10b.
after you already use nvflash / full wipe in vadonka script, you can flash cm7 again.
or if you like you can search in development section there is convert to ext3 back of course this method is delete your whole partition
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021549
did you backup your apps first like using titanium backup??
or maybe this method you can use recovery with nvflash but i think with this method you should have your boot.img backup first i haven't tried this method
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229407

Alive!
Thank you guys! I get to restart my phone via smartflash, and now I'm scared to flash ROMs via clockworkmod...Thus, I'll be a long time with this official ROM.

nah don't be affraid to flash roms, it has many great roms rather than stock LG. just backup your data at least and then flash any roms you want.
stock LG is crap, your hardware can't show its performance...

[Q] about rocket rom v7

hi
i am coming from RocketROM v3 ICS and i installed RocketROM v7 ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838
i did :
- boot in Recovery
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik only
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
but its still V3
what should i do?

After flashing the ROM, do another cache wipe ( or a factory reset if you're on a safe kernel ).
If it still shows V3 after you've done it - then it's probably rom glitch.

Perhaps you had a bad flash/download, try a new download and re-flash

It sounds like you are not fully rooted. With your existing setup, use Root Explorer to try to copy a small file into \system.
If this fails, and I think it might, you have lost root.
Use Odin to load a stock ROM and then re-root.
Check Rocket ROM thread for lots of similar cases.

i installed rocketrom v7. not i cant download any file bigger than 7mb through my mobile data network.. i am on vodafone australia. downloading on wifi is gud. it was working fine on darkyrom..any suggestion plz.

Please try to understand what I am saying! If you cannot copy a file into /system YOU ARE NOT ROOTED!
Please consult the MANY entries in the Rocket ROM thread about what to do - or just believe me when I say use ODIN to load a stock ROM and then re-root.

OK. It's clear that you are not fully rooted. Download and flash this ZIP version of SU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1128883&stc=1&d=1339657219
If this does not fix the problem, use Odin to flash a Stock ROM (NOT a custom one and NOT a Custom kernel) and then re-root as you did originally and install ROM of your choice.

I have faced similar kind of issues...but dere is no problem with the rom itself.....here is wat i did to fix it...
Wipe Cache nd Dalvik Cache....Flash The the zip given in the above post...Reboot into recovery....Flash jBroid kernel cleaning script....then again wipe cache and dalvik....flash Franco Kernel V6....wipe cache and dalvik and reboot into recovery not from "advanced" but through the key combination....Now do a full wipe...(data,cache,dalvik) and after dat flash the Rom.zip nd reboot....Now you should have a V7 in system about...if u again lose root just once again flash dat SU zip without any sort of wipe....(press the THANKS button if helped)

GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF

Hi,
I've just downloaded the latest ROM "GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF" for my Samsung Note GT-N7000. http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/roms/SweetJB/GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF.ziphttp://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/roms/SweetJB/GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF.zip Could anyone tell me how to install this ROM? Do I have to unzip this RAR-file first? And if so, what then? Could I make use of the program Odin3.
I still am quite new at this and I am always a bit uncertain when upgrading my phone. Again, I really could do with some good advice from one of you guys.
Thanks again!
Robert.

No need to unzip the file. it needs to be flashed using CWM recovery

Thank you for your swift reply.
My phone is rooted and therefor I think I have CWM installed. Also, I earlier installed the RAR-file: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN, I think I can remember that it was also done with the CWM recovery; It went all smoothly. I know that I didn't have to wipe my phone and/or reset it into factory settings at that time. Is that still the same with this installation? Because I found this video on the internet http://www.cursed4eva.com/multi-window-galaxy-note/, which seems to say otherwise, and now I'm having second thoughts. Are you known to a video that would make it more clearly for me in how to act?
I hope to hear from you soon again.
Thank you,
Robert.

Hi,
I just read these instructions, but I still have so many doubts that I could really do with some extra help. I am sorry, that I sound like a real amateur but that's because I really am in this matter.
Like i said, earlier (a few weeks ago), I've eventually (after so many of my questions having answered by you guys) succesfully rooted my phone by installing the RAR-file: CWM-SuperSU-v0.87. I also succesfully installed the Dutch ROM version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN and I also had to install the RAR-file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed.
Now, reading your instructions in the link that you gave me:
1) Make a backup of your current ROM
2) Download Sweet ROM Team V5 and Philz JB Kernel and place on sd or external sd card (remember where you put it)
3) Boot cwm recovery
4) Flash any Philz JB Kernel (after 3.1 cwm) - available here
5) Reboot Recovery
6) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik (IMPORTANT)
7) Mounts Storage and Format System, Format Data AND Format PreLoad (IMPORTANT)
8) Flash Sweet ROM Team V5 JB
9) Wait until it says Reboot then Reboot phone. First install will take some time as it is building cache
could I not "just start" from point 5, or would that just not work? I still have the the RAR-file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed installed on my ExternalSD-card and I've also placed the SweetRom on my ExternalSD-card...
Am I correct to presume I am losing all my data following this procedure?
Could you please link me to a video where I can watch the whole installation process as my guide?
Thank you again!
Robert,
Netherlands.

Fist take backup of apps , contacts, sms , call logs etc, Then Do follow instruction below
1) Reboot Recovery
2) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik (IMPORTANT)
3) Mounts Storage and Format System, Format Data AND Format PreLoad (IMPORTANT)
4) Flash Sweet ROM Team V5 JB
5) Wait until it says Reboot then Reboot phone. First install will take some time as it is building cache
