[Q] switching from darky's rom 10.2 to cm7

hey guyz i am using darky's rom 10.2 and now i have to change my rom to cm7.1, so please tell me that can i just simply wipe my factory data and cache and flash the update file of cm through recovery or do i have to flash some different kernel??? please help me, thanks in advance
my "about phone" shows
firmware version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9000xxjvq
kernel version; 2.6.35.7-i9000xxjvq-CL281085 [email protected] #DarkCore_2.9.2_JVQ
Build number: Darkyrom jvq v10.2
recovery: cwm dark core recovery v3.0.2.8x

1. put update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip to your intSDcard's root.
2. go to CWM and do a Nandroid backup.
3. wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache + (dalvik cache)
4. install .zip from sdcard = update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
5. if you want market, gmail etc. flash gapps.
There you go.
Edit: here is quoted instructions
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S (or coming from another ROM)?
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon

Two recoveries
Now i have tried installing cwm through rom manager and successfully installed it, now if I go into the recovery mode through rom manager it shows the new recovery but if I go into the recovery mode through the combo (volume up button home button and power button) it goes back into the old recovery ie dark core recovery, so that means I have two recoveries in my sgs? Please help, thanks in advance

Because you're on Darky's ROM, you already have CWM. You don't need to install new one through ROMManager.
Only thing you have to do now, is wipe and flash.

With Darkcore there is no need to install the CWM Recovery through the Rom Manager. Anyway ist seems installing CWM with Rommanger does not work with the SGS. (I didn't try because i always got it with a Custom kernel but i read it a few times). Instead you have to flash a Kernel which includes the CWM Recovery
To the installation of the CM7-Rom. I usually flash a Samsung Stockrom before flashing a Custom Rom. It seems to be the "cleaner" way. But if you go after Erakko's Instructions you will get CM7 as well I think it's on you which way you will prefer.

I Cleaner install would help to make the transition easier...
go back to stock, then to cm7....for a much cleaner install....cause switching between custom firmwares leads to a few bugs at times.

Sorry but getting confused on what is a Nandroid back up, is it the back up option on the CWM or on the darkcore recovery?

It's a CWM-backup.

Nandroid restore table:
BACKUP -> ACTIVE = RESULT
Samsung -> CM =
Samsung -> Samsung =
CM -> CM =
CM -> Samsung =

[Q] Slim ICS problem! Bootloop, tried everything!

So the other day I tried to flash Slim ICS on to my i9000 but I failed. There's like three methods you can try between if the first one doesn't succeed... Non of them worked for me. I still got the same boot loop on every method, every time. What am I supposed to do? Can someone please be so kind and write me a step by step tutorial of how to install Slim ICS. Worth mentioning is I'm on Darky's gingerbread rom JVQ v10.2 RES.

You flashed ICS Kernel first? Tried to install the Rom twice? First to install Kernel and second to install Rom?

Step 1. Boot into CWM recovery.
Step 2. Wipe data/Factory reset.
Step 3. Mounts and storage> Format / System.
Step 4. Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache & Wipe Battery stats.
Step 5. Install from SD card...
i. Flash Base_3.6.zip
ii. Flash Base_3.6.zip again
iv. Flash 3.6_I9000_Essentials.zip
v. Flash any other .zips you require like face unlock
**Step 6. Flash an alternative kernel like Siyah or NEAK, SOD reports from users of stock kernel. I flashed Siyah from the beginning when I updated to 3.6 so can't comment.**
Reboot.
Happy days!
**EDIT: SORRY don't flash Siyah or NEAK because they are GT-I9100 kernels!! Ma bad!

I tried to install the rom twice without any luck. I haven't tried to install ICS kernel first though. Do you recommend one?

I've followed step 1-5 with no luck whatsoever. I haven't tried step 6. I will probably end up in a boot loop after step 5 so how do I install the kernel? Should I put the kernel on the SD card together with the rom and the essentials and flash the kernel before the reboot after step 5?

You could flash your I9000 with another ICS via Odin and then try??
PLEASE NOTE I edited my post above, blasted Tapatalk.

OMG! I'm panicking! I just cannot get it to work... I've tried everything! Done all the methods recommended. Flashed semaphore ICS 1.1.1 and it still won't work! The only taste of this "well spoken of" rom I can get is through slim ICS v2.6, it doesn't boot loop but when booted I can't seem to get any 3g or signal. So not even that works. I WANT THIS ROM SO BADLY! Please someone help me!

Follow a thread like Team ICSSGS for dummies or ICS333 to get ICS on your phone then follow steps below (from Slim website).
From another ICS ROM
1. Download my latest Base + Essentials (from downloads page download zip not md5)
2. Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
3. Flash Base*** AND Essentials, Reboot to system.
*** - If the base flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash base before flashing essentials.
You can also clear cache & dalvik cache,clear nstools & init'd (advanced menu). You should clear cache & dalvik cache, nstools & init'd before flashing semaphore. Also once in ROM it is best not to actually use nsTools but rather use semaphore app.
No need to clear battery. My battery is as good as ever and I've never done this and I've flashed a lot of different ROMS.
if you are coming from gingerbread you will need to flash a modem.

Just download Hydracore, go back to recovery and flash it... Then go advanced options and reboot recovery.. After that wipe everything again and flash the new rom... Stay away from franco kernel that's way outdated and doesn't work with anything

i tried flashing hydracore and it took for me 10mins plus at the screen and still at the same place.

you tried to flash hydracore, and its not installing ?
may be try to flash back the stock ICS using odin and then flash Philz kernel to gain root
.boot into recovery and go to mounts & storage.
format / sytem
format / data
then try to install your TMT rom

If TMT is installed, Or even part installed then it wont boot with Hydracore kernel, The main thing is just having the kernel installed cause its safe, So, In recovery (with Hydracore installed)
Do all the necessary wipes, Flash the ROM, Then flash the kernel (Philz kernel)
then it should boot
If not, follow the above post to revert back to stock ICS / GB with odin, and then start the whole procedure again :good:

[Q] General Questions with my N7000! Please Help!

Hello all... After reading here and there and in other forums, I have a series of questions that I would really appreciate if anyone can answer based on facts...
I currently have a Galaxy Note N7000 with this settings:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version:
3.0.15-n7000XXLPY-CL474507
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Fri May 4 04:49:06 KST 2012
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPY
I want to install the 4.1.2 leaked version (already downloaded it) BUT I have some questions:
1.- I have read in different sites that I just need to do it with ODIN, no wipe required; and in other sites I have read that after installing, a wipe is required. Which one is it?
2.- According to many sites, by wiping I am at risk of hard bricking my note because of the death bug found in ics kernels. Should I still wipe?
3.- If after testing 4.1.2 I decide to roll back to I.C.S.... Again I should do that via Odin... but again I should wipe right? At risk again of bricking?
4.- This leaked version DOES NOT accept the s-pen functions at all right? so basically my spen would just be useless...
5.- THe recovery that is installed in the phone is the basic recovery that came with the phone, I havent changed it... I have read that installing some recovery files is dangerous. Which recovery is recommended?
6.- My note is NOT rooted... Does this affect my possibility of updating with this leaked firmware?
7.- and final... Do you guys recommend that I update or should I wait for the official firmware?
Sorry for the long post, but I need advice from the best ...
Greetings from Venezuela

1. you can install that without wipes using PC odin. but its a matter of luck. if it gets stuck in a boot look then you will need to do a factory reset and for that to be safe you need to install a safe kernel Philz XXLSA (i guess thats what you downloaded)
get it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
can be flashed using stock recovery and external SD
2. No, Always install a safe kernel and perform wipe
3. You may have to wipe this time for a proper boot as it might enter a boot loop. Same procedure, install Philz and do a factory reset. Its better to do a nandroid backup of ICS rom if you wish to return back to ICS. this way all your settings apps and customizations will be restored.
4. Incorrect. Spen is fully functional on JB leaks TW based.
5. Philz works perfectly with JB TW roms. Recovery is not dangerous. Its what you perform on it without proper reading is dangerous
6. No, PC odin can successfully flash a JB TW rom on to a non rooted Phone. But if it enters a boot loop install Philz kernel to do a reset from recovery
7. Its a long wait and no one knows when its gonna come. so if me, i would do it and i have been on all the JB TW roms available till now.
I would say, do it, do it the right way and you will enjoy the phone.
You can root your current ICS phone using the Philz kernel PhilZ-cwm6-XXLPY-XEN-v2.7 and then do a backup from recovery to be able to revert back with no problems.

Thank you so much for your reply... will do it today

Bienvenidos

Dude, another question... When you say JB TW version... What do you mean by TW...? I downloaded the one from sammobile PDA N7000XXLSA CSC N7000OXALSA... Is this a good one?

Yes. TW is TouchWiz, samsung Roms

You rock! Thank you so much... I will start doing this right now... Hope it doesnt die on me... I'm going to flash the PhilZ file and then work through the JB update... Crossing fingers...

anything, just update the post

Quick question... First: flash PhilZ... Then Wipe and then Odin? or do I go with Odin and then Wipe Data/Cache

first flash Philz, boot into recovery do a backup, then Odin, install Philz for XXLSA then wipe

Ok problems!!!! Flashed Philz (link you gave me) and when reboots, it doesnt get past the NOTE logo... I entered Recovery to do a backup and gonna go wo download mode with ODIN to update to JB and then do wipe from Philz... I-m scared beyond my pants if that makes sense at all...

Your current ROM is XXLPY right ?, which kernel did you install ? If you installed an ICS kernel , your phone should boot anyway, but if you installed a JB kernel then it wont

Yeah my bad... I installed a JB PhilZ kernel... I did a backup and flashed via ODIN the leaked 4.1.2... It loaded fine... , now my question is... Should I still update to the JB kernel for my version of JB? or do I stay with the one I installed... another question... should I still wipe?

OK. Main thing first. Now that you have backed up your rom, and the backup contains a JB kernel and ICS rom, so in future if you choose to restore the backup, dont be surprised if the phone does not boot. Later change the kernel to ICS
Which kernel did you install, update to your version of the kernel.
If the phone is fine, dont do a wipe. You can do it when you face some issues like Force close of apps or something not working as it should

I get it... will update the Philz to the right vkernel... Everything is working beautifully... Thank you for your support and patience!

N-7000 always messes up after flashing rom

Hi Guys!
Okay, so I have a problem here. Everytime, I try to flash a rom onto my Galaxy Note, it either gets stuck in a bootloop or most functions don't work (quick functions, WiFi, home button etc.) This is starting to get pretty annoying as I hate stock android and love CyanogenMod. I even tried the new CyanogenMod quick install using the computer client and android app.
I'm not sure if you need to know this but I am running CyanogenMod 10.2 (not fully functioning as problems above occur).
Andoird Version:- 4.3.1
Baseband Version:- N7000XXLT3
Kernel Version:- 3.0.64-CM-gd6f2f4a
Build Number:- cm_n7000-uderdebug 4.3.1 JLS361 28760a496f dev-keys
How do I fix this guys? Really need a solution!
Thanks in advance,
Rohan

sometimes repeated hard reboot (5-6 times) helps till ROM is properly setup.

Cheers man i'll try this and get back to you

Between each flash of a new ROM you should perform a full wipe before flashing in recovery:
in mounts and storage:
-format /system
-format /preload
-format /data
also you can format cache and dalvik cache(in advanced I believe).
-flash zip (or stock ROM with odin)
-flash gapps if needed
If you don't do those wipes then you will have many bugs, performance issues, battery issues, bootloops, random reboots etc.
