[Q] CM9 and TW simple flashing

Is there currently a simple safe TW rom out there that I can use CWM to flash between it and CM9 nightlies, I really need MHL support occassionally and need would really love to just restore a TW or CM9 nandroid without a bunch of hoops when I need the functionality.

Every TW Rom is safe if you flash it correctly and make a backup of it. Use abyss 4.2 kernel between flashes and every time you restore your backup. Not when you make the backup.

Thanks, thats the workflow I'm trying to avoid, so I dont have to worry about forgetting a step and screwing something up

Anyone have an update to this ? Would really like to be able to have a simple no-brainer flash restore between a TW rom and CM10, are there any safe roms to flash between yeat without using abyss in between ?

You can flash any stock gb over cm9 but will have to wipe. You can then flash cm9 back over gb also without the need for an alternative kernel. Is that what you mean?

Once on a safe kernel, you can switch roms easily and no need of abyss or GB downgrade.

how to flash cm10 or cm9 over ics rom?

how can i flash properly a cm9 or cm10 rom if i'm currently using kingdroid v7.1 and notecore kernel ???
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

If you mean notecore kernel.. It is safe to flash roms from there as it has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled and you can perform all the necessary wipes in order to flash the new rom

Notecore is safe but not any ics.kernel is safe to flash cm base ROM
Dont understand why op asking someone tried, why someone flash from ics when it can brick device. Just to try brick?

i'm sorry cause in a cm10 based thread i asked if it is safe to flash cm10 with notecore kernel and someone said that it's a safe kernel..So what do they mean by that? just finding a way how properly flash cm9 or cm10 if i'm on kdv7.1 ics and my kernel is notecore v13.. sorry for the misunderstanding....

i meant notekernel by gavin..

Notekernel is safe means you can safely wipe, flash CWM, can take nadroid backup/Restore on ICS ROM only.
Here in your case this safety have no concern. Notecore is TW based ICS kernel. You can't flash CM based ROM on any ICS based kernel/ROM.
To flash CM based ROM, get GB ROM/Kernel + CWM and flash CM based ROM using that.

Yes. Flash using pc odin, then root and install cwm, before flashing cm9.

That is 100% wrong,
you CAN flash CM{9,10} from a safe kernel, be it SpeedMod, franco or NoteCore, exactly the same way you can flash a TW rom from a CM kernel, as long as it's a safe kernel you can do whatever you want.
Now, if you flash NoteCore *after* you flash CM, your device won't boot, however you can always use the recovery to install a CM kernel or just a TW rom.
You do NOT need to flash a whole GB ROM, you can just flash the kernel and boot into it's recovery.
Also, you do NOT need a GB kernel or Abyss to flash anything as long as you have a safe kernel, aka SpeedMod, NoteCore, CM9/10, Thor, etc.
Your statement about flashing a whole GB ROM just to flash CM is misleading and wrong.
I still appreciate all your useful posts.
@PierreTech, it is 100% safe to wipe and install CM from NoteCore.
Steps :
0. Do a nandroid backup or a titanium backup. (optional really)
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Do a factory reset.
3. Install CM9/10/whatever.
4. If it doesn't include google apps, make sure you have the appropriate zip file and flash it too.

Hehe dr.ketan I gotta agree this guy... You can use notecore kernel to flash any ICS custom rom... Aosp or tw.. As when you flash the rom via cwm the rom will flash its own kernel... In the case of CM9/10 the proper kernel will be flashed along with the rom overwriting notecore/speedmod..
But I can not agree the tone he does make things clear.. He could just kindly say no dude this works this way or that...
I'm sure you know way more things than me or him but in this little thing they guy its right

I meant no disrespect to dr.ketan, without his great guide I wouldn't have been able to root my phone.

Oh, i really dont mind. It.is possible i may not knowing everything . My opinion was just based on Instruction on cm9 thread where it is mentioned that cm based rom shudn't flash on ics based rom, and that only thing i took into reference. I never have used any custom rom so may be not aware of fact, but this also be useful if such clearification to be made on installation instruction on op of cm rom thread, as really i m feeling awkward to go against developers instruction.
Just to edit :
@life.eq.null
You finds my statement to flash full rom misleading and wrong, but actually
I already used word 'GB ROM/Kernel' to flash.
That just means either rom or kernel. I never said you need to flash only ROM. I showing you one possibility, if someone on Non rootable GB ROM, then it will not be easy task to flash Full prerooted/rootable ROM to get CWM? in that case it is niether misleading nor 100% wrong.
Now here i am copying text written on CM9 thread installation instruction
Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now if my statement is 100% wrong. totally misleading then you should head up to developers of CM9, to edit instruction in more clear way. b'coz here ROM itself said to avoid, no instruction about to use safe kernel mentioned.
I am agree your information may be recent and experience based, even i can say may be better and useful to users who are on safe kernel. But that doesn't make older instruction wrong and misleading, when till now everybody following this instruction which is instructed by developer only.
Regards.

"Quote:

I think they only talk about the Kernel, not about the whole rom. I flashed many times a cm9 rom on a stock ics rom, but always AFTER flashing through CWM a safe cm9 kernel, or abyssnote4.2.
from ics stock, usually I boot to recovery, apply the cleaning script Sybr, flash my safe kernel (do not reboot, it will work now), do the 3 wipes, then flash new rom cm9 based. then reboot.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S+ Questions

A few days ago I had 2.3.6 and updated to [ROM][ICS][IMM76L] CyanogenMod 9 RC (Build 2).
I made a backup before this, with CWM6. If I want to have my original android, 2.3.6, all I have to do is to restore that backup with CWM6?
Second question: I want to install [JB][ROM][CM10]SmoothieJB™ Smooth,Stable, Fast ϟ - v2 08.12.12. The instalation tutorial says this:
Installation
• Take a full backup ( be sure to do this )
• Wipe data and cache.
• Flash Smoothie-v2.zip.
• Flash Gapps.
• Fix Permissions
• Reboot.
• Most important step : Enjoy!

This is for Ginger only or for me too?
What "Fix Permissions" means? When I installed CM9, I didn't have to do that.
And something else: What is the best ROM for this

Doesn't matter if GB,ICS or JB, all I want is to be fast, no lag. I don't care about gaming, I play sometimes small games, not GTA and games that need resources.

First Question - I don't know about this , but if you want to restore it , you need to full wipe first and then restore
Second Question - Just go the Advance panel at CWM and fix permission
Third Question - Try using CM9 by Acro or latest CM10 by Ivendor

I have CM9 by arco: [ROM][ICS][IMM76L] CyanogenMod 9 RC (Build 2)
CM10 by Ivendor is better for what I need?

For me CM9 is more stable than CM10 , but it's up to you , there many plenty ROM in the forum

Just restore it from backup with CWM6. You can do full wipe first if you want but I don't think it's necessary. The only thing I suggest you to do is do backup your existing CM9. From now you will have 2 backups: GB & CM9 just in case something goes wrong with restoring. I would not expect you to brick the phone with restoring the backup - I have done it 100 times already and nothing like this has never happened to me.

First question:
you should flash a gb rom first because on my old phone (galaxy ace) the stock samsung rom use another file system
and 3. question, i think cm10 is much smoother and more battery friendly than cm9 but just try yourself
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium

Re: 1st question - I tested this today on my own phone. If you want to restore either GB, ICS or JB you don't need to wipe anything and you don't need to instal any roms at first. All you need to do is restore backup. It is because recovery formats partitions and wipe all data before it restores from backup.

1st question: just restore the backup without Doping anything before
2nd one: the guide is for every Rom except smoothie JB then you have to only wipe cache and dalvik cache
Fix permissions is under advanced
3rd: if you want ics try cm by arco or biohazard and the castagnait kernel 7.5 extreme uv
And if you want JB try cm10 by ivendor or aokp Jb by crybert and the actual 2.6 diablo kernel
Hope i helped

[Q] Help with my Galaxy Note

Hi, I need help with my Galaxy Note. I just buy secondhand Galaxy Note, it has XXLS2 4.1.1 rom for now. I want flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom on it. My previous phone was HTC HD2, so I'm used to flashing without limitation So, I need your help to tell me if I'm thing good about it. So, firstly I must flash Philz kernel for my phone, to get root and recovery. But for my rom is only version 2.7... is it safe to flash? And next I can just do full wipe, reboot, and flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom, yes?

You won't be able to flash a aokp rom using philz 2.7 as it will not install and error 7.
-Install Philz and gain root and cwm
-Then place all the required files to flash the rom to storage.
-Then flash a different safe kernel like hydracore or cm kernel.
-Boot into recovery and do wipes and formats and flash. the rom. (while on a different kernel you might not be able to boot into the rom. Just recovery)

And version 2.7 is safe? Why there is no 3.99 version for this rom? But when I finally flash PA rom, I can stay with kernel included in this rom? Or I need to flash cm kernel second time? I'm going to make backup before flashing new rom, but I'm just wondering if I can normally recover this on PA rom or I need to flash stock philz kernel before restoring... So the "diffrent safe" kernel may be "Kernel_CM10.1_20130126_Nightly_CWM.zip", yes? It will work with aosp based pa rom? I'm going to flash 2.99 version...

Yes 2.7 is safe. Just that it cannot install some roms.
Because it's and old kernel.
Yes stay with the kernel included in the rom
Yes PA has a safe kernel and the backup can be restored.
Any kernel like hydracore or cm will do.
Also 2.99 PA might not to that's stable. So.. Your choice. You can use and older version like 2.57 as well

Actually Philz 2.7 is ICS/older JB, and therefore not subject to error 7. Good to wipe and Flash ROMs with. (It's safe too)

[Q] Galaxy note, Questions

I'm sorry if anyone has post this already, but I'm a new owner of a Galaxy Note, but the user that sold it to me, let it with alliance rom, but however, it drains too much batery and its full of things that I really dont need, like 1000 lockscreens and the most features I dont use, Also it wasnt with CWM but with TW (I think that it is what its called) and now, I am scared to turn this phone into a brick (He is like a brick but I dont want to actualy brick him )
So my questions are:
-Can I install any rom right now? Using the steps that are mentioned on the threads?
- What rom do you advise me to, I dont want too many things, I want as stock as possible, without the botlware, and with the main features of the note 2 if it is possible
Thanks by the help

Flash whichever ROM you choose.
If your on alliance kernel it should be a safe kernel.
Wipe system data cache dalvik preload androidsexure first then flash the zip of whatever rom
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
Read about brickbug on stock ICS ROMs first...
If you're on alliance JB (not ICS) the kernel is safe. If you want to be extra safe you can flash philz first.
If you are totally clueless use mobile Odin from play store.

My alliance rom is the last one and my kernel is this 3.0.31-593490 and i'm on android version 4.1.2 is it safe? do you think that ultimate rom would be better than alliance?

Ultimate is kind of same thing...lots of customizations...
I personally use eybee's stock decodexed and apply his mods...then use titanium backup pro to remove bloat ware I don't want...
An option too is to add xpericle tablet mod ...
Your kernel should be safe to wipe from so long as when you boot to recovery it is twrp

I would flash philz first personally...but that is preference...
Really you should just read all the ROM threads and choose the one you like best... it is personal preference...there aren't that many..
Just stick with a tw LSZ ROM if you want a Samsung based interfacw

And how can I flash philz? And what tw LSZ ROMS are you talking? I really dont understand those meanings and sorry if being annoying, but I really just dont want to ruin this phone

To flash philz you download the LSZ philz from the kernel thread.
You then reboot the phone and hold volume-up-power until it boots into recovery.
Hit install zip. Go to internal SD and then download folder and flash philz.
Now download the ROM and follow install instructions
TW ROMs are based on samsung stock interface. AOSP/AOKP/CM10.1 roms are based on a more pure Google android experience.
TW ROMs have many more features including the note2 features you want. Pure android based ROMs are faster but have less features.
Once you have philz installed you should follow the instructions in the Original post of that ROM thread
LSZ refers to the most recent Samsung official jelly bean release.
Ia glad to answer any question. PLEASE ASK THEM NO QUESTION THAT WILL STOP YOU FROM KILLING YOUR PHONE IS STUPID.
Before doing anything be sure to read the brick bug sticky thread so you understand how you can brick your phone.
Please hit thanks if I helped you.

And can I flash philz and still remain with the same rom or as I flash the philz I need to put a diferent rom? In the first time I just want to change my rom, so that its more easy to me, with the things that I have, the kernel and based on the rom that I have, what rom should I put in here now? I'll thank you if I get to know where is the button to hit

It's just the kernel you are flashing. It will not change the rom.
Phone will still boot and you can install a rom later after finalising one.

PhilZ TouchWiz based JB and ICS kernels
PhilZ-cwm6 Safe Stock Kernels
(developed by Phil3759)
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1901191
All PhilZ-cwm6 kernels can be found in this post.
Mirror download links are located in this post.
Latest: all kernels upgraded to v3.99 *new*
Is it this?
By the way, if I dont want to change the kernel ( I'm afraid that it can go wrong) What should be the rom that I put in my phone with this kernel that I'm using ?

When you flash a new ROM it flashes a new kernel.
Yes flash the LSz philz

There are a lot of them.. And all of them talk about CWM, but I dont have it, wont it affect it?
<< 13.03.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.88.2 with CWM 6.0.2.9 based recovery >>
XXLSZ-OXA (fixed for bootloop)
Is it this one that I need to flash?

assuming you are still on alliance.. yes thats the one

if you want a rom with good battery life and almost no bloatware at all, i would suggest using chasmodo's rom. but as mentioned above, choosing a rom depends on personal preferences.
