I wanted someone to look over what i am doing as i'm not 100% if this is correct.
I currently have the wolfbreak rom CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 with Camcorder installed.
The battery life is really horrible and it was recommend that a "reflash to the latest 2.1 ROM" would possible fix this problem. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264 - under trouble shooting)
Since i have busybox and xRecovery installed already, if i want to reflash back to the 2.1 ROM do I simply:
1) Download the Rogers branded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
In xRecovery
2) do a Factory Reset
3) Wipe Cache Partition,
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Wipe Battery Stats
6) Using xRecovery, install Custom Zip and choose the rogers branded file
Am I missing any steps inbetween that i need to bring myself back to the original ROM?
If this is wrong, could someone link me to the instructions. I've tried searching but I couldn't find something like this answered
Thanks for all your help in advance.
I think, you need Flash tool .2.8 for flashing the Stock Rom
Download the Flash tool .2.8
Download the Stock Rom (rogers)
Flash it !

I'm currently using this this ROM and would like to switch to this ROM. using xRecovery 0.3, but I do not know the first step. Do I have to go back to the generic x10 ROM or can I just factory reset in xRecovery and use another ROM?
Also, how do I update to the recently released xRecovery 1.0? is there an easy "Push bewton to update" thing?
Please tell me if I need to give any more information. Thank you.
no you don't have to go to generic X10 rom, just follow the steps in the rom's own thread:
Fresh Install: (aka coming from another rom or going from A to B or C)
Prerequisite - If you would like to retain your current apps, I suggest backing them up and restoring them using this method
1. In xrecovery, perform a full back up
2. In xrecovery, factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats
3. In xrecovery, install custom zip and choose wpx10.zip
4. When finished, reboot
5. DO NOT RESTORE DATA IN XRECOVERY!!
enjoy
it's a fresh install so backup your contacts, sms & apps before flashing
about updating your xrecovery to version 1.0.0 I suggest you wait a bit because it's in its early stages & still not working on all custom roms, you must wait for the cookers to release compatible versions

And if I were to return to the current ROM i'm using, do I have to install xRecovery again? The thread didn't say it comes with xRecovery, so I'm a bit worried.

All of custom roms come with xrecovery so I think this one shouldn't be an exception, but just to double check in your pc go to the zip file of the rom & take a look at system/bin do you see xrecovery.tar & xrecovery.apk or something like that?
Hi,
I'm started to read about roms and Glossary's
Currently now I'm running Trigger 3.2 that based on FROYO.
I.
As far as I understand (and correct me if I wrong) if I want to switch to another ROM (for ex. Project V) (NOT CM7 based rom) all I need to do is:
1. Copy the rom I want to phone (internal \ sd)
2. Ti backup
3. Full backup from CWR
4. wipe data\factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. wipe delvik cache
7. Install Zip from SDCard
Is this method cover ALL 2.2 \ 2.2.1 based roms?
II.
Is buying JIG from Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...0497761183?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20b651b39f) is recommended (Just to be on the "safe" side)
III.
If I want to try 2.3.X based rom...:
A. If I already moved to any of 2.3.X based rom the steps are exactly like in (I.)
B. If I came from 2.3 based:
1. flash with odin to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087)
2. install GB Bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990)
3. boot into CWR and continue like in (I.)
IV.
About CWR - I know that this is a part of Rom Manager, and it have versions too , BUT after\before I flash new rom (2.2-2.3.X) is it recommended to install\upgrade to the lasted version and make "Flash Clockmod Recovery" (all roms came with any version of CWR)
Is those 4 Q\A are correct? (special I\II\IV)
Thanks.
Can someone help and direct me?
Thanks,.
for the 2.2 roms yes u are right, thats a very good step list!
As fo gingerbread i use cm7 so my instructions are different but ill tell u how i install cm7.
Odin to stock
Then root with eclair method of installing update package, recovery will turn from blue to green.
GEt rom manager premium as its the easiest way to do cm7.
Then go into Rom manager premium flash clockwork recovery and choose vibrantMtd and choose 3X NOT 2x. Then go to download roms and choose cm7 nightlies.
For ur very first cm7 nightlie always choose all three wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom!
when u update ur cm7 nightlie again u only have to wipe dalvik and backup rom.
Hope that helps
what about flashing from say miui to a jvp based rom? i know they are both gingerbread roms but miui has a cm7 base so im not sure of any extra steps i need to take in order to flash

A week back I had installed a custom rom, Revolution ICS hd, based in the official ICS....
I flashed a stock extended kernel, for the rom to work.
Nw a few days back, I restored to my stock rom, using backup and restore in the CWM recovery and then restored my originally backed up rom.
Nw I want to install the same rom(Revolution ICS), so my questions are as follows
1- Should I backup my stock rom again ?
2- Should I follow the same procedure mentioned by the developer to install the rom?
3- will I have to flash the stock extended kernel again ?
4- any thing to keep in mind, while reinstalling a custom rom over a stock rom ?
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:-
Phone- Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman
Bootloader Unlocked-Yes
Kernel- Stock Extended
Rooted-of course.
Help me and I will thank You
of course you will need to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache), install rom, then install gapps that suitable to your rom. if you flash without wipe, you (may) face bugs that shoudn't you face in that rom. cheers, and good luck mate.
Hi, newbie here. I have trouble with wifi. My phone is Xperia P
I installed aospa rom, at the beginning everything was fine but few hours later I couldnt turn wifi on. I didint know what to do, so I just factory reset the phone. Same thing happened.
Then I installed Blur Line (CM 11) rom, same thing happened again.
On advanced setting it says Mac adress unavailable (idk if this is related with problem)
I searched google and xda for possible solutions.
solution 1 is installing sqlite editor and changing "wifi_display_on" value to 0
this didnt work because it was already 0
solution 2: settings/wi-fi/advanced/wi-fi region code
this didnt work too. I select Turkey (I live in Turkey) but whenever I exit settings and turn back none of the region is selected.
solution 3: copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin file to somewhere
it is on motorola atrix hd thread, so idk if this can work for my phone too. I downloaded it but havent tried yet
Do you think it can work for my phone, or is there any "wifi fix file" for Xperia P
What sould I do now? Should I install another rom (slimkat, pacman, miui v5) or is there any solution for fixing wifi?
Thanks for replies.

My phone was on stock rom, rooted and cwm installed.
First I unlock bootloader via flashtool, then I flash the boot.img via flashtool
I flash the rom and gapps with cwm (wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset) but then I flash the rom with twrp (wipe data, cache etc) again.
i dont know if I wipe some important data
formerly I installed some stock base roms via cwm, and I didnt wipe anything extra this time
I backuped TA partition before unlock bootloader. Is wifi work if I relock bootloader and flash stock rom & kernel

Seems like some kernel modules are missing.
This is a sure method-procedure that I follow for flashing a new ROM on my and on my friends' XP.
1)flash stock JB firmware(ftf) using flashtool.
2)flash boot.img from the ROM you want to flash, using flashtool.
3)reboot in twrp using power button during boot up.
4)wipe data, cache, dalvik.
5)flash ROM + gapps and reboot.
