Hello,
First I want to say sorry because my english isn't on a high level.
I'm a SGS user for some months and I flashed it many times ago (MIUI, CM7, other custom roms...). Now I'm on "teamhacksung ICS 4.0" by... lets say 1-2months.
I was thinking of upgrading to the latest version of your ROM and wanted to use to try to leave my SGS as if it was just purchased.
I was wondering which is the most appropriate way to do it.
As much as I wanted (I started looking more than 1 hour ago) I have not enlighten.
I searched about clean "Stock ROMS" but I think that I will not be able go to into CWM and I will not be able to install again CM9 via .zip
So.. whats the solution???!!!!!! I'm getting crazy...
Thanks guys.
Do a factory reset and clear catched data
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
1. in CWM factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. advanced > wipe dalvik cache
4. mount & storage > format sdcard
5. install an Kernel cleaning script (like this one from lippo) under install zip (from an e.g. extern sdcard)
6. than flash a rom 2 a clean system
there you go

1. So with that, I won't lose "Root" and the "CWM" wich I have at my phone?
2. Doing that will clean completly the system?
3. It isn't better to first install a stock rom (eg JVT or JVU), install a kernel that makes me automatically "Root" and installs "CWM", and then install CM9?
I don't know wich "kernel" or "rom" I have at the moment under my CM9 (...maybe I'm confusing concepts...).
Thank you so much!

1. You will lose Root and CWM, cause you go back to stock.
2. No. To format "as from the store" you need to flash stock gingerbread - JVU, JVT, with repartition checked in Odin (it wipes also sd card);
3 After you install stock gb, flash a rooted kernel, like CF-Root or Semaphore and then flash ICS.
CM7 and Gingerbread(GB) are Android 2.3.x
CM9 and ICSSGS and other are Android 4.0.x
Make sure what you have. Cm9 is another build than ICSSGS.

At the moment I got: "teamhacksung's CM9 ALPHA (Build 16)"
- Wich stock rom do you recommend me for CM9 or ICSSGS then? I got JVT at the moment with modem JVT from "siky_dude" post but my conex isn't working propely...
How can I know wich is the most aproppiated stock for my phone? I'm from Spain and I'm Vodafone (I dont know if that matters).
Thank you again guys!

Well.. if you are on Vodafone in Europe, use XXJVU (don't forget to check repartition). You can find it on Sammobile.com or here on XDA. Flash that one. Then flash Semaphore 2.5.0 (not 2.5.0 BM).
After that you can copy on your phone the rom that you want. I am on ICSSGS. I found it the best (this is up to you).
For the modem, you have to try to see which one has the best reception in your area. In Romania, i use JVT and JVU. Both work fine.
After you flash ICS, you can also try KF1 and KB3 for modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548815
As a further reference, ICSSGS has a RC5 in testing, and in the next few days will be updated to 4.0.4 because Google has started releasing the sources.
Ok, I'm on a I9000, I flashed the latest (V4) rom unofficial CM10; nothing really magical, it works. The problem is that when I flash the latest Semaphore 2a, reboot the phone (I always do before a fix permissions), and it hangs on the logo of the kernel and I have to re-flash the rom.
My complete procedure:
- 3 full wipe (factory reset, data, datadata, and Dalvik Cache)
- Flash ROM,
- Apps
- Fix
- Reboot,
- Back in CWM
- Flash Kernel + Fix
- Reboot
= Hang!
Any ideas?
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Others have had this to. I don't think that semaphore is made for jb yet. I know that devil kernel supports jb and works really good, settings stick and its super stable. Your choice though

Hi there, as stated ICS RR V10 is installed with notecore v14 std kernel, the system crashed after trying to connect to the bluetooth headset: the screen switched to full brightness and because nothing was responding i pulled the battery. Since then no boot was sucessful (only until the android logo), cwm (5.5.0.4) was kind of slow when i booted into recovery, cache and dalvik cache got wiped - the flash of RR v10 itself was successful again but still the system doesn't boot (same behaviour, back get's prettry warm).
Before i do something stupid, i ask you guys what to do next:
-flash abyss 4.2 and try flashing again? ( + full wipe ?)
-flash notecore v14 and flash again?
Thanks for your input.

No need to flash Abyss kernel, you are already on safe kernel, try flashing some different kernel, Speedmod or different version of STD Notecore.
If that too doesn't help flash rom again.
its issue with your kernel, Notecore version 14. fix is coming, in meanwhile try speedmod indeed.

thanks for the input: tried notecore 13 std and speedcore k3-13 separatly, installed the rom and kernel again, situation didn't change, still hanging at the kernels boot animation (android/samsung logo + no sound ?)
out of despair i just redownload rr v10 and give the new file a shot.

Now, do not try anything, just download pre-rooted GB rom from dr.ketan's thread and flash using pc odin.

Updated in my signature, download it.
ok then I dont know, how a system crash is preventing bootup. Others had issue on v14. Maybe instal was not vlean to start with. Maybe emmc is corrupt, many maybes.
first, on safe kernel wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also fix permissions, Reboot. Fixed it? No continue:
perhaps starting new, cleanly could solve it. Like above you can start from gb, Just to check you dont get stuck at flashing it.
or you can start from save kernel recovery, On notecore or on speedmod. The install of rocketrom went good first time right? if not, then redownload rocketrom as instal file could be corrupt. Check md5s if it doesnt install.
You can format system from mounts, then data from mounts, then wipe cache and dalvik. Then install rocketrom, then instal kernel of choice, wipe cache and dalvik for fun again and reboot. All of course from safe kernel kernel recovery.
If this didnt fix it, start new from pc odin and flashing a gb rom. For this to succesfully boot, it maybe needed to format system/data before flashing from pc.

solved (partly - data lost)
problem got solved by installing the pre-rooted gb rom (dr. ketan) via odin 1.85, afterwards i installed abyss 4.2 (probably not necessary), rebooted into recovery (advanced), wiped cache data and dalvik and installed rr v10 again. Of course i lost all data, but at least the phone is up and running again.
thanks to dr. ketan for his effort and jeetu1981 for personal help
Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.
Reboot device.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
I apologize if this has been asked several times before but I want to be 100% sure I'm doing the right thing since my Note currently has brickbug. When I first got ICS via a Kies update, I had to do a stock wipe from Settings because apps were crashing and freezing. As far I can tell there hasn't been any permanent damage. I've since done another OTA update via WiFi.
I want to go from Stock ICS 4.0.4 to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean
Region - Open Germany
Baseband version - N7000XXLRK
Kernel version - 3.0.15-N7000XXLRK-CL811902
Can I simply download the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7 kernel http://www.mediafire.com/file/269h649de0bch14/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7-signed.zip onto my microsd card and flash from stock recovery?
Then can I use CWM to flash latest build of JB ParanoidAndroid from http://goo.im/devs/Utacka/n7000?
Also will this cause the Yellow Triangle?
what i did was flash hydracore kernel with mobile odin then flash paranoid android as described in its own thread.
also make a full wipe AFTER flashing hydracore from CWM

Flashing the PhilZ kernel via Stock Recovery wouldn't work? That seems to be the most simple method. Does HydraCore have advantages over PhilZ?
it should work too. i just write the method i used and of course it is not the only method to do it.

Ok, I have PhilZ on my Note now. But still have stock ICS. The ParanoidAndroid threads say "Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
So does that mean I can't just flash HydraCore and then flash ParanoidAndroid? Do I have to flash a CM9 ROM or other AOSP ROM before ParanoidAndroid? Also is PhilZ kernel compatible with ParanoidAndroid?

I did exactly the same recently (but I went from stock to another ROM which had the same message, not ParanoidAndroid) - ran philz then the kernel should be safe which means you should be safe to flash to another ROM. That brick message on the thread I assume only applies if you are running a stock ROM with the stock kernel. If you want to be sure check in Settings>About Phone>Kernel Version - see thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857556.

I apologize if this has been asked several times before but I want to be 100% sure I'm doing the right thing since my Note currently has brickbug. When I first got ICS via a Kies update, I had to do a stock wipe from Settings because apps were crashing and freezing. As far I can tell there hasn't been any permanent damage. I've since done another OTA update via WiFi.
I want to go from Stock ICS 4.0.4 to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean
Region - Open Germany
Baseband version - N7000XXLRK
Kernel version - 3.0.15-N7000XXLRK-CL811902
Can I simply download the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7 kernel http://www.mediafire.com/file/269h649de0bch14/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7-signed.zip onto my microsd card and flash from stock recovery?
Then can I use CWM to flash latest build of JB ParanoidAndroid from http://goo.im/devs/Utacka/n7000?
Also will this cause the Yellow Triangle?

My advice is dont use Philz kernel for flashing ICS to JB... becz i read somewhere no unique Philz kernel to supports for ICS and JB
I had done many time ICS to JB (like Kingdroid RAM to Paranoid JB, Paranoid JB to STOCK ICS etc. ) no issues...... because of I used Hydracore 4.3b kernel..
thanks

The Kernel version looks the same to me as it did before I went to PhilZ. I rebooted into recover to make sure CWM is on there, which it is. And I installed a custom boot animation to make sure that worked, and it did.
Sounds like I should go to HydraCore Kernel first since it's compatible with TW ICS and JB then flash ParanoidAndroid ROM.

Thanks, sounds like my best course of action is to flash HydraCore now and that way I can test various ICS/JB ROMs.
Since my original post I have:
Flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7-signed kernel in stock recovery to get original root and safe kernel.
Flashed GL_HYDRACORE_v5-4_STD kernel because I thought that's what I needed for PA.
Flashed pa_n7000-2.51-24OCT2012-192916 and followed instructions from Hydracore thread which said to flash kernel after done flashing new ROM and gapps. However - PA would not boot after that. I also tried pa_n7000-2.52-29OKT2012-101254-Utacka this way. Same problem.
So I decided to flash pa_n7000-2.51-24OCT2012-192916 this time but without changing the kernel. Booted fine this time and my phone flys now! Way faster than Stock ICS 4.0.4. It's nuts that official ROMs, by comparison, are so slow.
So I'm trying to understand how to know which kernels will work with which ROMs. So I've been reading the various stickies and this thread in particular - very carefully. And I see the part about "WARNING: Do NOT use the below listed kernels for any CM10 build dated October 3rd or newer because your system will not boot.". I assume this why I was having issues after flashing Hydracore immediately after PA? And if I'm understanding this right, I could use the new HydraCore v7 with this PA JB ROM I'm on now? Is that because of this new MALI driver?
I did an EFS Backup after I did the original PhilZ kernel install but I never did a Nandroid backup while I had stock ICS. Should I just do that on any functional ROM now to make sure I have a full working copy of something to get my phone restored if something goes haywire? Is that the idea?
Also a lot of people seem to recommend flashing ROMs using PC ODIN. Is this considered safer or less risky than using CWM?
ParanoidAndroid JB imilka build has been great - but I noticed a few annoying issues:
1. WiFi signal seemed a lot better in Stock ICS than it does with PA. My signal is always "Poor" in my bedroom and I'm not very far from the wireless router but when I'm in the living room - it's excellent. Is this to be expected or is there something I can do about that?
2. Audio issues - sometimes I have to play with the volume to get speaker phone working after hitting the on-screen toggle.
3. None of the Voice Input stuff works. It just says "Initializing" and then "I didn't catch that". Also described near the end of the PA thread but haven't seen anyone reply with a fix.
4. No timer/stopwatch built into clock app. Can someone recommend a good app?
5. When I change the Slider shortcuts under Settings->Interface->Lock screen, they don't save. It always go back to default - Camera, Google Search and Unlock options only.
6. Looking for a nicer clock widget. Can someone make a recommendation?
Just wanted to point out that I love that it automatically had the StraightTalk APN configured for me. I know you're probably thinking - yeah so? - but I'm relatively new to android ROMing - just been lurking for awhile - so it was a pleasant surprised.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and to flashing custom roms in particular. I have read a lot of stuff about the eMMC chipbug and how to avoid it. I want to install pa_n7000-2.53-05NOV2012-125144-Utacka from stock ICS 4.0.4 with this kernel: speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-Odin. Is it safe to flash the PA with the CWM of the speedmod kernel or should I go back to gingerbread as I have read on some other fora?
Thanks in advance!
yes its safe. speedmod is a safe kernel

So all I have to do is reboot in cwm recovery, and install PA from sd card, then install Gapps, then wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache and it should work 'without' risk?
yeah.. first wipe data /factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
format /system
then install zip from sd

And then it should be good to go or should I wipe again?
not until you face any app issues or so
want to be safe before flashing PA
hi guys
i m using rocket rom. now i want to flash PA 2.99
i m concerned about this warning...Make sure to run CM9/10 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! - You're warned!
what should i do..?
RR version ? It has a safe kernel so you are good to go. You can ignore that warning

YES it has one of philz safe kernels..
so what i think is its totally safe to flash a new rom if u have a safe kernel. Am i right???
what if i flash a kernel(safe one) which is not compatible with my currrent rom....is it risky or my device will just not boot or anything else.....??
