Hello,
Sorry for this noob question but..
Is it safe to flash CM9 from paranoid ROM ?
Yes, they both use the same kernel and have emmc erase command disabled.

Nothing special needs to be done; backup, flash paranoid wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache and reboot.

Not sure about this particular case, but I'll tell you my approach is to *always* do a full wipe + format partitions and internal sdcard before flashing *any* ROM. This way I'm sure there's nothing old left (app data, config etc.). Using this approach I've been running many ROMs without most of the bugs users report (using XXLSA now), I think it's worth the time to reinstall and reconfig everything. If you don't need to keep old data and config:
1) Wipe data & cache
2) Wipe dalvik cache
3) Format /system & /preload
4) Format internal sdcard (make sure you save anything you need before)
5) Flash ROM
6) Wipe cache again
7) Wipe dalvik cache again
8) Reboot
(Not sure if 6 and 7 are needed, but I prefer to be a bit paranoid in this case.)

I think it depends on which custom rom u r currently on & which one you are gonna flash..for ex: flashing Ultimate v5 XXLSA over Alliance v1 XXLS7 may not work..

I agree with you. If you perform a full wipe before to install a new rom, the probabilities of occur in some rom's issue (like FC or just a "simple" weird lag) are low. Tested personally.
It always better/advised to perform a full wipe.
In the end, you could do a nandroid backup of your last used rom, wipe everything, install the new rom, and then try to restore the data partition only. If you get some errors or general issue, you can easily full wipe everything again, and reinstall the new rom again... at least, you tried

What does the OP states? Flashing ROMs is STILL a dangerous business.
Read the OP for the ROM you are installing

leaks always require full wipe for it to function properly.
Hi,
I am trying to figure out (tried searching the forums), why doesn't the phone gives me any notification when battery fully charged.
Running stock, with no cwm recovery, no root. (Just restored it yesterday with odin. Previous rom: CM10.1 (May 18th) nighly)
I tried a couple of times deliberately charge at 90%... and an hour later... no sign of notification...
turn the screen on... lock screen shows charged.
Any insight?
Detail:
Stock 4.1.2
N7000XXLSO
Kernel: 3.0.31-1042383
Build: JZO54K.N7000ZSLO2
ensure clean installation [wipe everything (system, preload, data, cache, dalvik cache)]; then flash the official firmware
PS: don't wipe on stock kernel - BRICK CAUTION; always wipe on custom safe kernel with emmc erase disabled

Tried manually wipe everything in cwm, still doesn't work
Anyways, I installed an third party app (noLed) as workaround.
Thanks for the help anyways.
Hellooo, I just installed Philz stock Kernel And Now i want to install Rom ANd Before installing it wipe data cache?
and Also Now i must install stock rom or can i install parandroid or such kinds?
or For parandroid its needed to flash siayh or dimiranx kernels?
If you have flashed PhilZ the device is rooted (you have rooted the phone by the PhilZ kernel method right? You'll notice a super user icon in your app drawer) and yes you can install ROMs like paranoid android. And yes before installing the ROM you have to wipe data and cache, which will delete all your data like contacts, apps, etc. So better take a nandroid backup or a backup using Titanium backup and then wipe data, cache and flash the ROM. And by the way siyah and dorimanx kernels are not available for the N7000. So DO NOT flash any such custom kernels which are not meant for the N7000, that can ruin the device. Hit thanks if i helped.
Before installing Paranoid Android, do the following wipes:
Data Wipe/Factory reset
Wipe cache
Mounts and storage => Wipe /system and wipe /preload
Advanced wipe dalvik cache
This will nearly guarantee you a safe and working install.
Dude I swear I have read all your recent threads and posts.
If you don't read the forum stickies your going to kill your device. Talking about siyah kernel are you kidding?
READ THE STICKIES and then post if you don't understand. Or your phone may become a brick.

I tried to revert back to old Samsung 4.1.2 from Paranoid Android and messed my N7000 up...
Got Paranoid Android (P.A) back but it is now stuck in a boot loop ...
Install CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.2 and I can now see all the files on SD and internal memory
I tried to re-install P.A but only selected the wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache options, never Wipe data/Factory
Is it safe to do a Wipe data/Factory reset, then and then wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and then re-install P.A???
If you are on a cm kernel then it's safe. You will need to wipe data to get out of boot loop.

I have a Galaxy S GT-i9000 with a baseband of I9000ZWJV4 and MIUI software.
I would like to remove the existing MIUI software and do a clean install of the latest Jelly Bean OS.
The more how-to guides I read, the more confused I get.
I would like to know if I do ;
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
does this clean my phone of the MIUI software now installed on my phone?
Why does some programming guides say to use a pit file and some do not.
Some guides use PIT, PDA, Phone and CSC files and some do not.
Can I just "Wipe" my phone and install 4.3 Jelly Bean
or do I have to install and upgrade,
2.1 Eclair
2.3 Gingerbread
4.0 ICS
4.3 JellyBean
in that order?
When programming, does the Rom and gapps .zip files go on the phone' sd-card?
I would appreciate it very much if someone would help me install
4.3 Jelly Bean or the latest Jelly Bean on my Galaxy S GT-i9000.
Also what is the most popular Rom for the Galaxy S GT-i9000.
Thank You
No, just install lastest version of official gingerbread, find the cf root compatibile version, then go in recovery wipe data and install your jellybean(except slimbean, its buggy when installing from stock) (when flashing, it will reboot! Dont panic just use vol up+power+home, release when Samsung show up, you will booted in recovery, flash ROM again and reboot) you are done
To install jellybean firmware..
You will need to root the phone first. install cwm recovery, reboot into recovery mode wipe data/factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik cache format data format data data format cache format system & flash zip files.
Reboot & enjoy...
