hey guys,
which is the best method to clean your phone before flashing a new rom, or maybe bringing your phone to the state it was just after flashing a new rom. i tried data factory reset, wipe cache , wipe dalvik with kernels we have here and i found remainents of zip files i had flashed after setting up my rom and using newer mods. i dont want to format system, preload all the time.
which is your perfect, effective method ? speedmod kernel and its recovery or phillz , then which version ?
thanks

why you dont want format system and preload before flashing rom?
what I do before flashing any rom is:
flash philz kernel
wipe data / cache / dalvkk cache
format / cache / system / data / preload
and then flash new rom
and thats it, with this procedure I have never faced any issue with any rom I have flashed.
usualy I use this method even befoe restoring my nandroid backup.
above methods I using with philz and speedmod, but i prefer philz when wiping and flashing and making backup, because it has nice cwm for doing that. but after I flash new rom I immediatly flash speedmod because it is the better than philz if you drive your new rom, and you are not in cwm at the moment
hope this helped

completely agree with you djoni, but when you are flashing continuously, experimenting a lot ...you know ...this and that,
isnt a data factory reset , wipe cache, wipe dalvik supposed to bring you to that condition just after booting up after a new rom flash ? why were there remanents from a mod i had flashed after using the rom for some time ?

How do I actually install this? I've flashed ROMs before and I assume I can flash this one through CWM but it doesn't say what base OS you need to have running on the phone in order to flash it.
What rom are you currently running? If you are running one of the ics asop roms then I think you are good to go

I Suggest if you come from Stock ROM
Flash a Kernel with CWM (CF-ROOT kernel with Addon, my Favorite) with Odin/Heimdall
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash latest CyanogenMod (be sure, you do it with full version)
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash the DarkKnight ICS
Have Fun !
I know it isn't the Best Way, but it surely will do if you like that !
Don't forget to thanks [if it useful was for you]

I was more asking which ROM to come from.
I ended up flashing 2.3.5 JVT and then this over the top of Semaphore kernel.
Hey guys
i want to know i need to wipe anything before or after flashing kernel or rom " Custom" - " Official " Roms ?
Clearing data and cache would ensure you have clean installation.
Yes, you should clear data/cache before you flash a new rom.
For kernels (data wipe/reset is not necessary) there's jbroid script, flash it before you install a new kernel.

It all depends though. If you change ROMs and they are pretty different you really should wipe data, cache, and dalvik. That's what every OP says on ROMs. Just read the OP.
hey guys today i had a bricked sgm and solved the brick problem and installed GB 2.3.6 and tried to flash CM 7 rom
but after the flashing i had a problem the homescreen wont show so i flashed GB 2.3.6 and now i'm stuck at a bootloop tried to flash the rom again and nothing
plz tell me how to fix this and i help me install a CM 10.1 rom
Probably you might not have wiped data before flashing. Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache before and after flashing.
Also make sure you've have downloaded the correct ROM meant for SGM.
To install CM10 follow this post.
now just flash a four package firmware through odin
it will refresh your data partition
then head to flashing cm7
as the person above me stated you should wipe data before and after flashing rom
Actually you need to wipe data/factory reset from clockworkmod.
It will delete all data on your phone contacts,videos,music so back up the files first

it will not wipe sdcard
so no loss of music and videos etc. Only apps would be lost
No notification panel, no task manager, no buttons in camera after flashing stock German jb rom on rooted stock ics(Indian rom) using pc Odin...what could have gone wrong?
Flash philz kernel.
Reboot into recovery and wipe data cache and dalvik.
You should be good.
If not wipe data cache dalvik system preload and .androidsecure in Philz and then ref lash ROM in PC Odin.
If you continue to have problems after that then post back.
Please hit thanks If this helped.

Is it necessary to flash philz kernel or should I just clear dalvik and data cache...then reflash ??

No, try first with cleaning cache and dalvik cache. Reboot and check again.
If cache cleaning doesn't help then you might try reflashing it.
You should flash philz before any wipes.
You said yoiure on rooted stock...as in stock kernel too, no?

why not do a clean install of JB by formatting system and data partitions
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.
