Noob questions. Every time I flash a new rom I become narotic, and I first disable any lagfix, then go to cwm, and factory reset, cache, dalvik, and batt stats all wiped. I'm assuming I don't need to do this if it's a full wipe rom? Can I even skip the lagfix part or is that always necessary?
Also if I'm upgrading a version of a rom, ex, apex 6.4 to 6.5 or any other situation same as this, can I just flash it without doing any prep before hand?

if it's a full wipe ROM than yes, the ROM does all the wiping for you. And if the OP states for you to disable lagfix before flashing than i do so.. also if your just doing an update you can usually just flash over one another. But its always good to check with the ROM dev and see if he suggests any special wipes or whatnot.

You can still do whatever your used to and are comfortable with. BUT this is what I do before flashing any rom.
I go to market and make sure all apps are updated.
Next I go to titanium backup and backup all user apps and system apps with data (I NEVER RESTORE THE SYSTEM APPS OR DATA THOUGH)
Next I boot into recovery and perform a backup (which saves almost Evey aspect of my rom I am on before flashing
I boot back up and then reboot into recovery again.
Then I install whatever rom I am flashing at the time.
I DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING OTHER THAN CACHE WHILE IN RECOVERY AND BEFORE FLASHING THE ROM.
I have NOT had more than 1-2 issues flashing anything since I started using froyo, so that includes any froyo rom, the gingerbread rom that first was made, then Continuum and on my second cappy the same except I also have flashed CM7 on it.
The one or two times I had issues ALL I ever did was boot into recovery and run restore from the previous rom I was on. Then reflash the rom I was trying to get on to. I really have have had NO ISSUES NOT wiping anything other than cache.
I look at it this way, if it works the first time I flash a rom I am golden and do not need to reset up everything. If I have a issue then I CAN start from scratch with a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvich cache IF NEED BE. At least then I am ON the rom I was trying g to go on in the first place.
Then after all seems good I will restore my user apps and some user apps with data with Titanium Backup. So MOST of the time I have changed roms and all is working with no issues in 10 to 15 minutes.
Again this is HOW AND WHY I do it that way. A NANDROID BACKUP and TITANIUM BACKUP are your BEST FRIENDS in these cases.

6.5 is a wipe version which would take care of wiping caches. You dont need to disable lagfix. But as someone said always keep a nandroid backup
Also you may want to post these queries in ROM thread for quicker response
I always disable lagfixes just for good measure. Most roms do a full wipe so there's no need for any of the other stuff.
it seems like every rom I install these days restart randomly.
Whats causing this ?
Bad flash probably, with all sure respect sound like user error, try completely clean fresh install

How can everyone be flashing wrong? Most people post that they have the reboot problem. Maybe its an overclocking thing or lock screen issue. Its a bad problem with most roms it looks like.

Well people without the problem aren't going to post are they? And, again, with due respect, a lot of people simply don't know what they are doing or don't read install instructions properly

I don't have this problem on cm7. Try a fresh install of JVR or something, and that includes a repartition and factory reset (which are basically the same thing ).

I know not all users do this, but whenever I flash a new ROM, I generally like to wipe data/dbdata/cache and dalvik from the phone. Then flash the ROM, do a full factory reset and wipe the internal SD card as well. I've never experienced any random reboots personally after following this proceedure.
It means I have to backup and restore apps using Titanium Backup, and copy over all my music again, but I like knowing I've got the cleanest possible installation

While I respect the cajones your flashing procedure requires, and agree that it will ensure a perfect ROM flash, every time....it still strikes me a little like doing the dishes by lighting the kitchen on fire.
Unless a new ROM specifically calls for a /data wipe aka factory reset I would propose this less extreme method to the OP which should still solve their reboot problems in most cases:
1) Go into Recovery
2) Clear the Dalvik cache
3) Clear or Format the /cache
4) Format the /system directory (this will not wipe your apps or data, it will just clear the system files that are most likely to cause conflicts with the new ROMK, hence reboots)
5) Flash the new ROM
6) Flash new gapps (optional but usually saves hassles down the line)
7) Fix Permissions
8) Reboot
That should fix you up 9 times out of 10. If you are still seeing reboots, then do a factory reset from recovery to clear out all your apps, reflash your current ROM and then reinstall your non-system apps from either the market or Titanium backup one by one (without data if at all possible). Try to stagger the reinstall so you can try and isolate if the reboot problem is due to a specific app (doubtful since normally an app will fc, not reboot the entire system, but it is possible).
Any questions, let me know, and good luck.

I agree, but when I've had problems (or when I'm installing a completely different ROM), I like to use the procedure I mentioned. It gets rid of any old stuff that might be left behind from a mixture of old ROM's, kernels, themes and apps. I thought trying it might help solve the OP's problem

In 14 hours ive experienced one reboot, but the yesterday I had like 10 reboots.
I usually factory reset etc and most roms clean everything before installing anyways.
And to keep my apps etc when I format the /system directory I guess I should pick the no wipe rom package ?
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.

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.
When applying an update to a ROM, is a data wipe always required, or can I simply flash boot.img and the .zip over top of the existing installation?
More specific to my situation, I'm using Albinoman's CM11 ROM; if anyone has flashed the December 10 update without wiping data, did it fix the black browser issue or would I need to do a wipe? I'd post this on the ROM's thread, but I don't have ten posts yet.
EDIT: Wiped only Dalvik and flashed the update, works smoothly and the black browser bug is fixed.

I have found clean wipes the best but use the recovery option to reload certain data etc or back up apps and reinstall clean.
Basically, i back up contacts, calendars, sms etc anyway these days. Makes for an easy transfer of data when needed.

If you are updating the same ROM... Usually you don't need to wipe... Anything more than dalvik cache and cache
However... EVERYONE will ask you and then suggest a full wipe if you have any issues...

download the rom
transfer to internal storage
boot 2 TWRP(2.6.3.3)
wipe-- advanced wipe-- wipe dalvik cache, system, data, cache
install
choose rom
swipe to flash
finished.
btw, very unlikely that a hardbrick can occur unless ur on low charge nd the phone conks off in the middle of installation

Well i will need to search properly. But a wipe is usually recommended when you are installing a new rom. It is NECESSARY when you are switching roms which have a different base. Like Stock Android based ROMs like Cyanogenmod to Sense based ROMs like ARHD or vice versa.
P.S. If you think that i helped you, please hit the thanks button
