Just got an att samsung captivate cellphone:
its rooted,
has miui rom:
model i897
ver 2.3.7
kernel: 2.6.35.12-gdf10700
build: MIUI-1.10.28
loader says its: CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
I want to install a newer rom and possibly ICS, but I'm scare to do so since I'm not sure if I will damage it in the process. What I need help in is to know from you guys if I have to remove any software already in it to jump into a new rom.
Thanks!

You should be able to flash right to TeamHacksung's ICS just fine I believe miui is based off CM. You have to flash it twice. Just flash first thru cwm then in the advanced menu reboot to recovery & flash again. Make sure you have ics, gapps 7.1, gapps fixer & cm settings alpha build all on your internal card. I would also wipe data and dalvic cache before the flash & after.

Yep you can jump directly to TeamHackSung's ICS build 14. Just flash the .zip and you're ready to go.
Enjoy your cappy!
Here's the download link:

Did you buy the captiate with MIUI on it or did you put it on? If you put it on then you should know it's too easy to flash and re-flash and flash again
I am using the ICSSGS not by teamhacksung btw

These are the correct instruction for your case, taken from the OP of the Rom.
DON'T flash FROM ANY SAMSUNG ICS OR ROMS BASED ON SAMSUNG KERNELS (my CM9, AOSP, etc)
Flash any stock GB rom with odin / or any GB kernel, and reboot into recovery once again before flashing this
Install Rom: http://d-h.st/sGz 171.14 MB
Install HYBRID Gapps: http://tjohansson.is-a-geek.com/file...0511-fixed.zip
Wipe caches, factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom than CM9
Hope that helps mate!
Yyyyyy no so what i must do?

You have to gain root once you have flashed a GB Rom via PC Odin.
Then you can proceed to flash Paranoid.
Have I lost full root????

You don't have full root, that is certain. The only way you're gonna regain it is by
going back to rooted GB, then back to ICS.

I have a nandroid backup of rocket rom v22 where I was fully rooted before. If I restore back into it, what's the best method of getting back to PA and still be fully rooted - I have mobile odin pro BTW if that's any use?

Do not do restores through a partially working Recovery, you might mess up your phone.
Do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
After you are done injecting the CWMR, go to Paranoid thread and follow the instructions.
OMFG i'm an idiot
Well durrrr, just realised I hadn't checked the option for mounting system as writable - I am fully rooted on what is easily the best ROM I've used EVER!!!
Thanks a lot for the replys - this is a much better place thanks to people like you

Do you have vcf backup of contacts? I personally have my contacts on google contacts, so whenever I flash a new ROM, contacts restore by syncing google account.

It's been a long time since I was last seen here, I've been busy working and studying, but now that it's vacation I'd very much like to update my ROM.
Currently I'm on Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP5-CL295568
And my ROM is ICS Stunner Beta 5.0 (yes, a pretty old one)
CWM: v5.0.2.7
So, the question is.. How do I get from that ROM, to a new, updated one?
I've been looking around but there are no specific guides on how to do this.. And I rooted mine back when I was on 2.3.4.
Honestly, I have no idea what I should get back to before putting a new ROM over it.
It'd be great if any of you could help me out describing how it's done! I would really appreciate the effort.
Thank you in advance, and hopefully I'll be able to get the best out of my Note again after this!
Use PC Odin to flash a stock gingerbread ROM, then root and install clockworkmod recovery, download and place whatever ROM you'd like to flash on your external sd card or internal memory, lastly boot into recovery (hold volume up + home + power buttons) and factory rest, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache then flash the ROM and reboot.

Can I go directly from a GB ROM to a ICS/JB ROM? Or do I need to flash some ICS update first?

You can go directly from a rooted GB ROM to a ICS ROM. I wont recommend JB rom as of now as its a preview and not a daily driver.
No flashing of ICS repacks. Forget them. They are now history
Alright thank you.
By the way, I'm on the LP5 Kernel from Stunner ROM, which had alot of bricks when you flashed stuff.
Is this still an issue? If so.. How do I work around it? Because I don't want to brick it obviously.
Bump .
Nobody has an answer for me? Please?

I just explained to you the "100% safe way" to go from a stock ics rom to a custom rom in my last post. Stock gingerbread first through pc odin, root, install clockworkmod recovery, flash custom ics/jb rom of choice.

Follow these instructions.
If you have CWM installed and your device have full root.
Reboot into CWM Recovery
Install a safe kernel (hardcore, notecore, cf root, franco etc) or flash abyss 4.2 redpill recovery.
Reboot recovery
Now full wipe for a clean install.(cache/dalvik /data)
Flash rom
Reboot system
Done.

So I wouldn't even need to go back to GB if I follow your instructions sahilarora2003?
And you install a kernel just by flashing a .zip file right?
+1 I would hold off on the Jelly.....nothing exciting now. Give it a little more time....like another 3-5 updates I flashed CM10 and lasted 10mins before I came back to ICS. :good:

Hi Guys,
Can someone guide / help me on how to upgrade my N7000 unit to JB and still rooted.
I'm still using GingerBread ROM with AbyssNote Kernel and already Rooted. Also installed with CWM
I want to know the step in upgrading it to Custom JB ROMs (MKalter JB, RocketRom)
Any suggestion will greatly appreciated.
Kindly refer on the images regarding details of my beloved SG Note
Thanks
You can not go from gingerbread to jb.
You need to download an ics rom ,like rocket with root and cwm. Do full wipe. Flash ics rom.
If that's cool download eybees jb
Full wipe and flash that .if root has gone open up SU and update the binary. The app will do this .just press on it .
Do not try skipping the ics . You will brick your phone ! Hope I helped

who says you can't go from gb to jb
i was on rooted stock gb and i flashed leaked stock jb over it and everything is working fine..
why do you think that ics has to be flashed ?
infact i did ask here at xda before flashing and nobody told me to flash ics over gb first

Same here. I downgraded to GB yesterday to SIM unlock my phone and went back directly to JB the second it was done.
Safe kernel is the only thing that matters, Rom base has nothing to do with it.

Downloading the RocketRom V1 JB (by Eybee1970 -Thanks!)
Currently, I'm using the AbbysNote 4.2 Kernel I just need to follow this steps below and everything will be fine. Right?
copy ROM on your USB-storage
boot in Recovery
FullWipe (also when coming from other Sammy-JB-ROM!)
Format SYSTEM!!!
flash ROM (it will reboot automatically in most cases)
after initial setup, open Super SU-app and you have to update SU-bin (app will do that for you if necessary!)
*FullWipe - clear cache, clear Dalvik, format system, factory restore?
Thank You..

I'm going to flash cm10 on a friend's i9070..
I'm planning to do this:
-Flash "root.zip" with stock recovery
-Install universal kernel flash
-Use above app to flash cocore
-Make a cwm backup just in case (with cocore's cwm recovery)
-Do wipes and flash cm10 and gapps with cwm
Do I have to unlock bootloader or do any other extra procedure?

You do need a custom kernel and recovery to flash a rom! Just 2 other little things: make sure your friend is running jellybean and not gingerbread, and flash cm10.1 or cm10.2 because cm10 has been abandoned from a long time..

That is just for CM. And do not install 10, flash 10.1. 10 is abandoned. You can wipe dalvik cache after you install CM, you will get custom recovery.
You can go back to stock JB by restoring nandroid backup - the thing you told that you do not need. :laugh: Or with flashing stock Firmware with Odin.
Let me check if I'm ok:
-Flash root.zip to use titanium backup and save all installed user apps and data
-Flash CM10.1, CM10.2 or roms based on any of these (searched in youtube for roms and JellyMOD 4.0 seems to work OK)
-Turn off, turn on in custom recovery and do wipes
-Reboot and everything should work
