Hello,
I just got Galaxy S i9000 with outdated gingerbread DarkyROM installed. I am going to update it to one of JB 4.2.2 ROM so I was wondering if anyone could recap the proper process? Here is what I plan to do:
- update recovery
- nandroid backup in recovery
- full backup with Titanium Backup
- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
- flash new ROM
Is that it? Or have I forgotten something?
I would also greatly appreciate recommendation for a nice, stable ROM. It should be as much bugless as possible since I won't be able to update it for a while.
Thanks for help!
Back up ur efs (imei)
As for which ROM that's more tricky I'd say you would be best finding a ROM you like the look of and ask people posting on the thread their opinion

you need to go cm9 first through cwm flash the file twice it will bootloop first time then cm 10 then pick a rom one thing you should know some people experiencing loss of data connection on jb but hey if you dont try it you will never know ics is pretty stable good luck

Hello everybody! Currently I'm running teamhacksung's build 14 and even though it's really good I would like to try onecosmic's ICS port. I would like to know if it's possible to only flash it over build 14 without any wipe (and so without loosing data) or if a wipe is necessary. Just in case I want to go back to build 14 without many troubles..
Thank you very much in advance!
the easiest way to do this, is to make a nandroid backup(means backup everything in the CWM) before flashing onecosmic's rom.
then flash the onecosmic's ICS rom, but one thing might happen, as it happened to me. the google apps may not work, not even the market app.
the best way is to make a nandroid backup and then wipe every thing and then flash the onecosmic's rom.
You dont need a wipe before flashing but do it.
Ok! Done (to tell the truth with wipe to be sure). Thank you all!

Hello,
I recently flashed my Galaxy Note with a stock rom and i got it root and also got the CWK installed. Now I want to try to install the Android 4.0.
I read the instructions and it says:
1. Make sure you're on the latest CWM
2. MAKE A NANDROID
3. wipe data/factory reset in recovery
4. flash ROM
5. flash Gapps
6. reboot

All i can understand is 1, 3, 4 and 6. Can anyone elaborate or give me some links to "Make a Nandroid" for example or what a "Gapps" is?
Thanks in advanced,
Alexw
You should do some searching and some reading before u try 4.0 if u are not familiar with how to do a back up u should probably leave ics alone for now it has been harder for people to get back from ics to gb then it is to get Ics on your phone in th first place and to do a back up u boot in to cwm go back and restore and choose back up not much to it and gapps are google apps which would be provided in download links in the main page of the rom or already in rom

Nandroid = backup: boot into CWMR and hit Backup and restore/Backup
gapps = Google apps

Is it not possible to use a stock ROM with odin and check re-partition if I want to go back to GB?
Also I can't find a Gapps link at that topic. Can you recommend a other good Android 4 ROM?
Thanks,
Alexw

hi there
just that you know so far ICS roms for galaxy note come all from a leacked ICS version who is quite unstable....so you need hard work (if you are not confident with odin) to install ICS, hard work to use it and hard work to return to Gingerbread.....when you will be fed up...
i did it and now after 2 weeks of testing on ics i returned back happily to Gingerbread....but many of the folks around even bricked their note on ICs so i recommend a lot of care prior to do any ics stuff.....
if you accept an advice....wait for ICS rom ....when a proper ics with souces will be released for our note dev will work on it and it will be ok
for now install Leomar checkrom v6 who still is gingerbread and add from kitchen their huge ICS domination theme.........you will be happy and with no big worries.....

Alright, I'll wait then. Samsung delayed the release of the ROM for the Galaxy Note to April.
leaked ics roms is lots of trouble!
just stay away from that and wait for the official version.

1. Pretty Explanatory!
2. NANDROID Backup: It backs up your CURRENT system as it is. All the settings, applications, everything is backed up! If you ever experience any problems, you can restore to this backup through CWM Recovery menu or the CWM app. I really recommend you to make a backup of your stock ROM. Always create backups!
It is pretty easy to do so too. If you have the CWM app, just open it and create a backup through the backup option. Alternatively, open CWM Recovery, scroll to backup and restore, hit backup and your backup will be created!
3. Before jumping from one ROM to another, ALWAYS perform "wipe data/factory reset". It clears everything on your phone so you won't have any problem in installing the new ROM. Also, go to advanced and perform "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
4. Search for any ROM for your note. TeamRocket ROM, RoMow ROM are some good ICS ROMs. Download them, put the .zip file to the root of your sd card and select "install zip from sd card" option in CWM Recovery AFTER you do number 3.
5. Flash GAPPS. This is just a .zip file to download all the google apps to your phone (market, etc.). Google for it! But, apart from CMX ROMs, I never needed to do this. TeamRocket, RoMow, CheckROM etc include GAPPS by default.
6. Reboot your phone through the recovery menu.
7. Enjoy! XD
I was wondering how perfect of a restore a CWM restore is.
I was running a custom GB ROM (rocket rom to be exact) and it was running flawlessly. I then decided I might try this new CM9 ICS ROM.
So to be sure about the CM9 install, I figure I'd install from a stock GB Rom. So I first did a CWM backup of my current rocket rom and then I restored an older stock (rooted) ROM. It seemed to work fine. Then.... after reading about the (few) issues wit this new CM9 rom I decided I'd wait a bit longer until a few more of the quirks are worked out.
So I then restored back my Rocket rom backup and even doing the flash cache and davik cache also. But now I notice my once working Rocket ROM is experiencing a lot of SODs.
So now I'm wondering how perfect my restore was. I really don't have a lot of apps or wireless networks and can easily restore my contact list. For that reason, do you think it'll help if I do a factory reset wipe and then reinstall everytyhing....or even go so far as reinstall rocket rom and then reinstall everything else manually without any restores...would that be really the best clean install....or would any of this not make a difference at all and wiping/reinstall a toatl waste of time and my prob is actuaully something else....
Thanks
I could do with knowing the answer to these questions too.
It would be good to get a detailed idiots guide to CWM, do's and don't's etc.
Well a clean install will surely get you rid of the SODs. There is some app and its data that is conflicting with the system and crashes the whole phone. So if you are ready to clean install everything that will fix everything

sleep of death, its the device not waking up properly from sleep
Pus it doesnt include efs, so its not complete backup. Handy if yu stay n same rom version, but thats likely not.
Squicky clean install is always best. Even only app and data recovering thought titanium can mess things up. Make it laggy and nonfunctional etc, Blegh

1. Install abyssnote42
2. Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
3. Restore your rocketrom backup
That's what i do with my rocketrom v23 backup
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
its not perfect but its the best so far
all i can say is that cwm is the best and simple thing for me so far and if u get trouble some times while trying to shift from CM9 to normal ics or from gb to ics all I suggest is use redpill recovery from abbysnote

Yeah, mine does that from the clock on Dragon ICS 2.4 when charging it didn't use to, started since I started Dual Booting. 2.5 is out in the next hour or so according to the Dev page. Hope it fixes an otherwise awesome ROM.. Otherwise it's back to single booting and possibly on to Omega 12 until CheckROM is released..
Hello people from XDA,
I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered:
I have the Galaxy S GT i9000 and I really want to have jellybean 4.1 instead of gingerbread. I have run into a lot of problems when I tried to put custom ROM (I think it was the F4k ICS ROM) and a lot of problems when trying to root. I now sucessfully have it rooted on XXJVU 2.3.6
What I want to know: Is the Jellybean 4.1 for daily use? I use my phone for work and school, so I don't need a ROM that can't for example call or send SMS.
Does 3G and Wi-Fi work?
Will I run into problems starting up? When flashing the F4k ICS ROM I couldn't stop it from staying at the "Kernel semaphore" even after waiting 10 - 20 minutes.
Is it STABLE?
Do I have acces to Google Play
Do I have USB to computer access?
Do I NEED to make a backup with Titanium Backup, or isn't it neccessary? It really doesn't matter for me if I have to set my settings manually again.
I hope these can be answered. For as far as I searched, I couldn't find any answers related to my questions.
Thanks in advance,-
Hello
Yes you can use cm10 as daily.almost everything works
has ccaseder
everything you asked for should work if you set it all up correctly
To get to 4.0.4 - CM9 here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546&highlight=jw4. You can skip first steps if you have a rooted GB / CWM.
After that to go to CM10 (4.1.2) it's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526
Everything is working great in 4.1.2 CM10.
First you should backup EFS, save contact/sms/mms/call log with Go Backup (Titanium also as it can't hurt to have 2 backups).
Backup is needed as the phone will be wiped.
In my opinion CM10 is almost as 'stable'(in every way you could think off) as CM9. Some people still wait for a real stable, if you really don't want to encounter anything weird you could go for CM9 instead.
Helly Bean
Try Helly_Bean, smoother and faster than CM10 in my opinion and all works fine out of the box.

Well 4.1.2 is out now and yes it can be used as daily use. It is important to know that in order to have a good experience with jellybean you should go from gingerbread to ICS to JB in that order or you can loose your IMEI number and that is important. Don't forget to do a backup (nandroid) on your phone in the recovery menu. Yes you will have google play and usb . Read the op of the rom you want to install as now to go to 4.1.2 there is a couple of extra steps usually with a new partition layout (you might have to flash the same JB rom up to three time to get it to work properly). Good Luck JB is awesome and fast
Im using X-Bean 3.0 + Semaphore 2.4.4s on a daily base & its running smooth and stable here. I came from stock GB, rooted it and flashed the rom right away.
Had 2 flash it twice. After full wipe flash the rom.
First time phone reboots and wont pass the semaphore logo.
Take battery out and reboot into recovery mode, flash the rom again.
This time install will complete. Reboot & there u go. U can flash kernel after........
Hello guys!
I am running my S5830 with a 2.3.6 rooted stock ROM and would like to give a try to Jelly Bean. The problem is that I don't want to completely start from scratch if something goes wrong with Jelly Bean or I don't like it.
How I can fully backup the ROM, settings, and all the rest so that I can restore my current working system if I have to? I am using Link2SD in an external ext2 partition and am planning to save my current card and use a different one with Jelly Bean.
Also, what's currently the recommended Jelly Bean ROM to use with this phone?
Thank you very much for your help!

Use cwm recovery and do a backup. Remember: read the sticky threads.
Reboot into cwm recovery...go to backup and restore...choose restore...
This will backup each and everything minute settings that your phone is currently running with...including the links2sd...if ur a guy who flashes new roms very often,always keep a backup of a stable rom...u never know when u might end up with boot loops on a new rom...
Since ur new here,I should let u know that most of the questions have already been asked...I know searching can be a tough job...I remember when I was new here and dint know where to look...but ul get used to finding stuff...but do search before making a new thread...
