For me best way was to have 4.1 stock based ROM nandroid backup. Problem is that maybe there was leftover from GAPPS that make problems with setup wizard or something like that.
Download CoCore 8.2, some 4.1 stock based ROM, copy it to sd. Go to CWM, flash CoCore - reboot to recovery again - do factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, dalvik. Install ROM and see what happends. I did not have any IMEI problem when I was doing that.

I actually thought to flash 4.1 Through Odin so I do not need CoCore

What's meaning by GB? What about the Nandroid backup? Will I lost them after I Flash a stock ROM?
Hi I saw your message. I can help you, so I did something usefull today. XD
1 First of al you flash cyanogenmod 7.1 (GB=Gingerbread) don't forget to wipe dalvic cache and wipe cache partition and do factory reset.
than you go to follow site:from step 2 and furter
You have to scroll down till you see the discription
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cm9-cyanogenmod-9-for-galaxy-s/
succes
I think I had the same problem. Earlier versions of onecosmics change the device name. After this I couldn't downgrade back to CM7, had to reflash the whole phone in ODIN.
I would suggest installing a Samsung Gingerbread rom first using odin, you can flash JVS rom. Root it using CF-Root kernel. Then install CM7 using CMW, then follow the instructions on how to install ICS from CM7.

it doesnt matter if you flash jvt or jvs, basically its the bootloaders that matter and u need GB b/l (gingerbread). Here you go...
1. flash XXJVT using this link here http://androidflip.com/how-to-insta...ad-xxjvt-update-on-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/
2. root your firmware using this link http://androidflip.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-android-2-3-5-xxjvt/
3. go to recovery mode after rooting is done, then a) wipe data/factory reset, b)wipe cache partition, c) go to advanced>wipe dalvik cache, and flash your rom.
-----------------
not a noob, just a newb to xda. a thanks would be appreciated
Thank you for all your help!
But one more Q
My friend told me that flashing CM7.1 should be working with CWM 5 (sth like that).
Is it real?

you mean flashing cm7.1 through cwm5? i dont think there should be any issues with that, depends actually on what rom u were. if you were using cwm5 whilst on ICS rom, then i suggest flash a GB based ROM first, root it and then ul have cwm 3.0.0.5. then go ahead and flash cm7.1 (which i personally dont like)
cheers!

Since you are on Hydracore it is safe to wipe. But just to be sure just take a nandroid backup, by Booting in to recovery
Selecet Backup & restore--> Select Backup & do a nandroid backup Then just follow the installation procedure below
Keep both the ROM & Gapps file on your SD card
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Go to Advanced - > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Select Install Zip from SD Card--> Select either internal card or SD card (external sd ) based on where you kept the file-->Install the zip file of the ROM
Same way Select & install the Gapps package
Go Back & wipe Cache Partion & Dalvik Cache once again
Reboot & you are Paranoid...:good:
the best advice I can just offer you is to go to the respective Paranoid Android ROM thread and post this question there. There many people there as well willing to help you. Or you can wait for someone who has PA already on their device and perhaps they can give you some nice info on how to go about installing PA on your phone.
sorry, I can't do much help on you as I'm not using JB for now.
You can flash any custom rom if you are on safe kernel, hydracore is safe and you can simply boot into cwm recovery and flash the rom zip followed by gapps.

Yes you need to factory reset when coming from another rom that is not aosp based, i.e stock gb/ics.

I think you need to read instructions to the point before carrying them out. I had posted you the method for installation of PA which so far as I know is the correct one coming from any non AOSP based ROM. Pls. do follow the instructions. In case you are in doubt just ask for a reconfirmation.
Also any ROM developer will have the instructions posted in the OP thread, which you should definitely follow.
As others have told you, do a full wipe coming from a non AOSP based ROM..
By the Way if your problem is solved just change the OP title to Solved..
In regards to doing a full wipe: When doing the same process a couple of weeks back, coming from a stock ICS rom to PA i read you need to do a full wipe.
google brought me to this page: http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/
do you guys consider wipe/factory reset to be sufficient or is it a good idea to do this manual format of the /system/ /data/ and /cache/ partitions as per the above guide?
I was in a bit of doubt on that one at the time, so i did it anyway to be on the safe side and it all worked fine.
Paranoid android
Hey :laugh:
Someone can tell me what's the difference between the Paranoid rom from Imilka (PARANOIDANDROID 2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698) and the Paranoid rom from Utacka (PARANOIDANDROID 2.15 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713)????
To be sure
OK, just to be sure I want to make everything straight... So if a have Hydracore kernel and a non-AOSP rom (for example ClassicRom V5) I can flash ParanoidAndroid? Even without AOSP rom? Just having Hydracore kernel and non-AOSP rom I can install ParanoidAndroid safely? I just have to do a Full wipe, then flash paranoid, flash Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot and thats it? Thanks in advance for the answer

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!
Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe
It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.
I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.
Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.
But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?
Godofmosquitos said:

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?
I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!
If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework

[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.

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.

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?

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

So, i tried to install JB 4.1.2 - N7000XXLTA via Odin. But the process gets failed after 'NAND write start'!!!
Any solution???
