Upgrading Darkys V8.0 to V10.1?

Hey guys i've read all the instructions and it seems fairly straightforward, flash with odin first to Ficeto and then use CWM to flash it to V10.1..
Problem is, I'm already on Darkys V8.0, I have no idea where to start? Do i need Ficeto, do I just backup all my **** and then flash it? Will I lose apps?
So lost.
Cheers boys!

Firstly wadever u do backup all ur wanted apps
Secondly disable lagfix before flashin new rom( nt sure if its right)
Thirdly dl ur new rom and put on sdcard not external
Fourly go into recovery mode install zip from sdcard than select the zip wait for it to install
When finish go in and restore all ur apps

I never enabled any lagfixes though?
and how do I backup my apps?

Also guys what is this JVH and JVK stuff?
Is Darkys Gingerbread V8.1 with Kernel 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #62)
appropriate to upgrade straight to V10.5 like the above user has said?
I've already read the rest about uploading to SDCARD then booting into CWM and flashing, just need to know the rest!
Thanks guys
Elmo

you can use titanium backup to backup all your apps and data.

V8.0 is bases on Froyo (Android 2.2.x), V10.1 on Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x). So DON'T flasg directly from 8.0 to 10.1. Flash any stock-firmware WITH bootloader first (I think the best way wouls be to use Ficeto's but I'm not quite sure it contains the bootloader). Them after installing the stock-ROM you have to root your phone (just flash another kernel) and finally flash 10.1 with CWM and you are done.

[Q] Upgrading from 2.2.1 to Onecosmics RC3.1

Hello,
I have Galaxy S 2.2.1 rooted (CF-root) with woring CWM, a Nandroid backup, and Onecosmics ICS goodys locked and loaded on my internal SD card. But still I can't find the b...courage to do a full wipe and flash ICS as if something goes wrong I will be without a descent smartphone for about 2-3 months.
My question is if I can flash straight from 2.2.1 or I should go through CM7 first.
One flash is simpler than 2 in my head..
I reckon that as the days go by I will do it and I want to make sure I do it the right way.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I, personally, went through a CM7 flash before going to OneCosmic's ICS, leaving Froyo. It took me about 10 minutes to do it, and in doing it this way, you stay close to OneCosmic's installation instructions.
1. Flash CM7
2. Reboot and test your phone (without installing apps & widgets)
3. Flash OneCosmic's ICS
Hope it might help!

I would recommend flashing JVU (using Odin) before cm7 as it contains the latest bootloaders, just to make sure everything works as it should

thanks!!!!

Yeah,
First I think you should install JVS with CF-Root and recovery.
Just register to samfirmware, where you can easily download the required files, also you'll find some tutorial. For CF-root, just google it, and you'll also find some tutorials, than just put the zip in your internal sd, and install it from recovery. Don't forget to remove your microSD before flashing, cause it can be damaged after.
If you did something wrong, you can still go back to stock JVS ( happened to me ) and start it over.

Dont worry, you can always Odin back to 2.x
Download mode through 3-button-combo > Odin (re-partition checked!)

Thank you for your insights, I will probably go to CM7 and then to ICS and if i get any issues I ll go back to 2.2.1 and then start from JVU.
I will let you know, soon I hope..

Going via CM7 should be the safest way. CM ROMS are the easiest and quickest ROMS to flash imo and you shouldn't have any problem. Once you do that without any problems, flashing ICS should be as easy.
Gluck!

So I tried to get CM7 over 2.2.1 with no success so I took the long road and upgraded to stock 2.3.4 via Odin, then flashed rooted CF root kernet, then upgraded to CM7 and finally (and after a lot of sweating) I got to Onecosmic's ICS which is great and really a major upgrade!
I think I have some donating to do........

So let me get this straight...

I recently upgraded my Note to official ICS (OTA) and I'm not liking it AT ALL! Now I really want to get far away from this update as possible and I'd like to switch to a CM9 nightly Rom. I've that now that I have upgraded to the official ICS Rom, I run the risk of super bricking my device. So now I ask you to help me make sure the following is correct so that I may move on from this wretched update:
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on original Samsung ICS
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on a original Samsung kernel??
Flash back to original Gingerbread Rom using odin BEFORE flashing to CM9
Flash to different kernel??
I've flashed millions of Roms but this one is scary and I just want to make sure haven't missed anything... Have I?
Thanks for you help!!
John J

Just flash a stock directly rootable GB rom, root and put CM9 on it. Then do a factory reset and you're good to go. Went that way few times already.

Thanks a lot man!! This is pretty much what I thought but I wanted to make ABSOLUTE sure! Cheers!

So is the super-brick BUG on the official ICS OTA?? OMG
And yeah go back to gingerbrear via odin, get root then flash any CM9 tru CWM no problems...

I'd like to do something similar to what the OP wants to do however I have rooted and installed CWM on an official/stock ICS rom. So if I wanted to flash back to a stock gingerbread rom would I need to remove CWM and/or un-root?

There is no need to unroot first. You can flash stock GB rom directly via Odin.

I've now flashed to GB but before I move on to a CM9 nightly, do you recommend I flash the CM9 kernel as well? Seems like it is not a prerequisite but I would like to make sure. Thanks.
John J

afaik, when flashing a CM9 Nightly, the eligible kernel is built in, so no need to flash anything but the ROM.
i'm on one of imilkas first CM9 port and it says [email protected] #1 under Kernel version in settings.

Yes. The correct kernel is included in the nightly.

Confused about upgrading CWM and installing a new rom

Hello dear XDA peeps
I need some help here or maybe I dont, thats why Im asking!
I rooted and followed all the guides a couple of months back, must be over half a year, and installed ICS Stunner 1.4.19. At that time that was simply the most interesting for my Note. These days when more stable ICS roms seem much more appealing. Altho Im thinking Im waiting for a stable working beta for JB
Since I havent done some ROM loving for quite a while Im quite confused where to begin, do I need to upgrade CWM Manager first? I have version 3.15. Or can I go straight on new ROMs? I spent some time reading about updating CWM today and it seems I have a really dangerous kernel version, 3.0.15-I9220ZLP5-CL295568 and if I understand the CWM Manager thread correctly thats part of the dangerous kernels. Which seems quite dangerous to update it since I cant find a safe version of CWM Manager to update to.
So the bottom question, do I need to update CWM Manager first to do anything safe or update the kernel first to perhaps an old safe rooted GB kernel? All the guides and stuff says the safest way is to first install an old safe GB kernel and then install a ICS or JB kernel (not at the moment tho) but is this the truth in my case?
Anyway, I really appreciate if you could give me some advice here
Thanx in advance

There is newer cf root that is 5.6. This is a safe rooted stock kernel by chainfire with CWM manager.
The devs suggest when installing TW ics custom rom it is recommended to install it while already in ics rom.
First install stock gingerbread rom, while in gingerbread rom do the wiping data,cache, and dalvik and then flash ics rom for clean installation. DO NOT WIPE IN STOCK ICS ROM, DANGEROUS. READ THE WARNING IN THE FORUM.
You can choose any tw custom rom you like.
If you want suggestion on what custom rom just ask i gave you one.

Ok, still not sure what do to first but it is safe to install a GB rom first? Updating CWM isn't that important? What I meant was that I still cant find a fitting version to install. Nearest version is: CF-Root-SGN_DD_ODD_LP8-v5.5-CWM5.zip but thats on the danger list so Im still confused about what version to download.. :/
Perhaps CF-Root-SGN_DD_ODD_LP8-v5.6-CWM5.zip is safe to install tho?
EDIT: I saw that I had cf-root version 5.2, it was CWM Manager that was version 3.15
EDIT: getting a new baseband comes with a rom, no need to install baseband seperatly? For example, getting Cassie's XtraLiteRom Version X LC1 295Mb is getting my baseband LC1 too?

You can flash the cassies custom rom directly over the stunner rom if you want to, just be sure to use ABYSS KERNEL for wiping.
Base band also known as modem. There are many flashable modem to choose so no problem what modem you Want.
If you want to install cassies latest custom rom you will get also the latest CWM recovery and manager.

Uhm ok.. so much information Im confused as usual
I cant find exactly abyss kernel. Can it be this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424/
And can I flash all roms via CWM or do I have to use PC ODIN?
EDIT: found the abyss note kernel, really slow downloading tho.

[Q] Rom Flashing sequence?? 4.04 -->4.22

Hi,
I would like to know the rom flashing sequence like if I got a P1000 4.04 CM 9, and i want to upgrade to CM11
then what path should I take?
Can I flash the 4.22 rom directly?
or 4.04 --> 4.1 --> 4.2
or need to back to 2.3 and flash to 4.2?
I searched some posts but I cannot find the answers
I know there is some sequence and if not follow, may brick the phone.

Since your cm9 could be of old mtd (prior to April 2012), you better restock, then flash overcome kernel or any cwm, then flash cm10 or any kernel that has TWRP recovery, then cm11.

There is no need to restock and no need to go step by step...
Which one of the available CM11 4.4.2 ROMs do you intend to use? I had pretty much all of them working at one point or another.
I ended up running the latest storm31 ROM in DALVIK mode with the PDROID patch.
ART or DALVIK is another question you will have to answer for yourself before you start.
Are you running on TWRP or Clockworkmod Recovery?
You should have Odin or Heimdall ready in case something goes wrong for a fast restore of a working boot image. That saves you from any possible need to restock.
