[Q] Correct order upgrading from GB to JB.

Hey!
So I have decided I can't wait any more and want to put the JB ROM on my device :victory:.
Currently I have Cocore 4.1 kernel + stock GB ROM.
I want to upgrade to the latest LQ4 from this thread.
What would be the right order to upgrade:
1) Install new kernel for JB (Does it matter if it has CWM or TWRP? Since the LQ4 on this thread is said to only be update-able with CWM, and I actually like TWRP better)
2) Enter recovery --> Full wipe / factory reset
3) Install ROM
Or
1) Enter recovery --> Full wipe / factory reset
2) Install ROM (remember I am currently using CoCore 4.1 for GB with TWRP)
3) Flash new Kernel for JB
If a full wipe / factory reset isn't needed, which wipes are needed?
Thanks again!

1. That thread is just for deodexing your JB ROM. It is not a ROM. There are just deodexed files from system/app and system/framework.
2. Non of above are the way of upgrading from GB to JB.
3. Use this.
4. Do factory reset after.
Thanks again shut_down! :good:

Oh, I thought the official JB ROM is already deodexed, no?
As for the wiping whats the difference between factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe?

Every stock is odexed. You deodex it to get posibilities of using more modified stuff.
Factory reset wipes all your apps, that you installed with Play store (or any other way), and all your data. Making your phone like it was when you bought it. Cache and dalvik chache do not touch any data, but sometimes when you change something it is suggested that you do it (like change some system app or somethig like that).
So you better backup your installed apps with Titanium Backup, backup your phonebook and things like that. Before you do factory reset, that you can restore it on JB later.
Thanks!
By using ODIN to upgrade, does it also wipe my current kernel to the stock one?
Meaning I can later put TZ, CoCore or watever I want the usual DD flash way (after rooting off course)?

Yes, Odin and stock JB firmware will overwrite old 2.3.6. kernel, and install new 3.x.x. And you can install any JB custom kernel with DD later when you root.
Thanks again mate!

Do a full wipe in recovery and sideload the ARHD

galaxy note from 4.4.1 to 4.0.4 downgrade

How to downgrade from KitKat to jelly bean 4.1.2 through recovery
You can only flash custom ROMs based on touchwiz ROMs through recovery like sweetrom or aryamod .... or use Odin to flash original Samsung firmware because you can't use recovery to flash original firmware.
Press thanks if I helped you.

Downgrading to JB is as easy as booting into recovery, wiping data, booting into download mode and flashing the stock rom
or booting into recovery and flash a custom TW rom or restore the backup if you made any before flashing Omni.
I have a non-rooted phone upgraded with what Samsung provided (several OTA, then Kies to 4.1.2, N7000XXLTC).
I'd like to downgrade to stock 4.0.4. My steps are:
1. wipe cache & data from Recovery (would a Factory Reset do both?);
2. use Odin to flash the ROM;
3. never do any sort of wipe again.
Is that correct?

Steps are correct... Use the recovery option to wipe data / factory reset ..instead of the settings menu.
Do I have to root my device to use PC Odin?

Yes you will need to get CWM.. flash raw or philz kernel and then reboot recovery, wipe and restore the backup.
Let me share my own experience
Whenever i wanna go back to jellybean from kitkat :
1. Do clean wipe
2. Flashing official gingerbread rom
3. And then installing jellybean..
I dont know why but whenever flashing jellybean after do a clean wipe it never works so what i do is flashing gingerbread first hehe

I'm on 4.4.4 DU Rom.. The phone got hanged after I enabled the allow mock location option. Then the phone got stuck at the Samsung Logo screen. I went to recovery and tried doing factory reset, but it failed with error as unable to mount /data. After that recovery mode is not available, but I can go in Download mode. So, i tried to install JB 4.1.2 - N7000XXLTA via Odin. But the process gets failed after 'NAND write start'!!!
Any solution???

[Q] nexus 6 cm12 trouble.

I have a nexus 6 running cm 12 which function perfectly well.
the device is unable to install the latest cm12 nightly.
It got downloaded completely and is ready to install but when I reboot the phone to install the latest nightly, it takes me to TWRP recovery.
I dont know why this is happening.
Can anybody please help me?
If you need any more information to solve the issue, let me know
I never do custom ROM OTA's, but don't you flash the nightly manually? If you're dirty flashing just wipe cache/dalvik and install the nightly

I always thought that I have to factory reset my device each time I need to flash a ROM.
Can I download the nightly update and flash it manually from recovery without factory resetting my device?

yes. if just updating a rom, you never have to factory reset, only when flashing a new different rom. and you dont ever have to wipe dalvik/art or cache, as when you flash the rom they automatically get wiped. so download the latest cm via your browser, boot into your recovery, then flash it in your recovery.
This is what I see when I tried to flash the downloaded nightly build from the cmupdator folder

Lolipop downgrade to custom kitkat

Hi guys i have a simple question. I really would like to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-ultimate-1-0-0-light-dark-t2779949. It is looking very well. Right now i have lolipop on my xperia. Can I flash this rom straight away from my lolipop or should i downgrade it first to stock kitkat rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-283-t2912254 (stock rom i'm talkin about).
Sorry for such a stupid question I just want to make sure cause i'm doing it for the very first time. I have rooted device without a recovery yet so should i begin with recovery and proceed to flash custom rom or to flash stock rom first. Thank you in advance for answer.
if your bootloader is locked.. yes, you can
note that you need to install recovery, wipe all (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) before flashing..
that means clean flash
but it's always nice to revert to stock before flashing custom or stock-based custom rom to make sure everything is in good shape
