when you want to switch roms, do you backup the rom, then flash back to 2.1 and then flash the new bb, rom and so like that?

no that would be pointless....

then flash new rom in xrec
Allright. Just wondering. Thank you.

This is the first time I install a non-stock kernel(Overstock). Do I have to go back to the stock froyo kernel to flash other roms?
And I've never done any type of wiping before flashing but I'm thinking of doing it this time.
If I wipe the user data and DAVILK, does it erase things on your SD like pictures and videos or apps backed up by Titanium Backup?
You can flash any 2.2, or 2.2.1 rom without flashing a different kernel. If you want to flash a 2.1 rom, will need to flash a 2.1 kernel before you flash the rom. There really no need to wipe anything if your just flashing a kernel, but if you want, just wipe cache partition, and dalvik cache and you will be good. No need for a factory reset. Hope this helps.

I was getting ready to flash another rom so I will wipe data too.
My question has to do more with flashing a 2.2.1 rom(possibly Eugene's Ginger clone 3) from Bionix 1.3.1 with overstock. Is it ok to do it without reverting back to stock kernel?
Nice avatar btw
As long as its a 2.2 kernel you will be fine. It doesn't have to be a stock 2.2 kernel.

as i was searching the android dev section, i saw a 2.2 rom that caught my eye. its the Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-Fishmanmod Final. however im running Bionix 1.3.1 on a Bali kernel, can i just flash it over my rom? or i have to odin back to stock rom, then flash the new frankie-fishmanmod rom? i want to stay with 2.2's is i have given up on gb roms already.
You can just flash it. Odin to stock is cleaner

Use Titanium Backup to back up your files.

yup! after you have backed up all your apps and what not. in CWM i suggest you make a backup there too just in case you have a bad flash or just to have as a back up.
after that just flash like you normally would and then reinstall titanium backup and restore your apps! have fun!
thanks a lot sir. downloading.... ^_^
what would be the things that i have to wipe? still the same as any other rom?
1. factory reset
2. wipe data/cache
3. flash the file
4. cache partition
5. wipe dalvic

also try to backup your text messages with any app from market if you still need your sms
You can back up your texts and APNs in Titanium too.
is ferakernel possible for stock rom?
i made a nanodroid recovery for my feralab rom.
i want to change my phone to stock to give it to my brother for a while.
but, i dont want to change my kernel and lose my recovery
so, is it possible to have ferakernel for stock 2.3.3 rom?
i have unlocked bootloader
i dont have to do all these if i can wipe user data from feralab rom, is that possible? (meaning as if u just newly installed the rom) like master reset
then i can just give my phone without doing any major changes
Yeah I think you can flash it!!!!

Why you open another thread, when your question is related to previous about Ferarom???
If you just want to wipe your data, you can do it with your Xrecovery or try option in your phone Settings/privacy/Factory data reset. First try phone option, and then check if you wipe your data with that. If not, try to wipe with Xrecovery.

hello, i have a question
i had a galaxy S and i remember that to pass from cyanogen to stock sammy, was obligate to flash ( before) the stock rom and then restore backups
In the s3 is the same? or the passage is like other roms?
Any help guys?
Define backup. Nandroid? You should not have to but it cannot hurt.

Usualy if you want to go from stock to CM9 you place CM9 rom and gapps on the internal sd card. Wipe cache and dalcik cache, data/factory reset, format system and then flash both zip files straight in a row without rebooting.
Go from CM9 to stock, reset the flash counter with Triangle Away and wipe and format as above. Go in downloadmode and flash stock rom with Odin.
If this is what you mean.
If you restore a nandroid backup you are still rooted and not have clean stock.
but if i restore a nandroid over a cm10 ( obv after a full wipe), will it works? oe i always need to reflash a stock rom?
It will work mate. No worries

story: I was running the original android 4.0.3 everything was ok until I tried to instal busybox and somehow I lost the root so I said why I dont upgrade to the latest version and that what I did but the version I installed (4.0.4 nordic countries) have problems with Bluetooth , camera and video player so I want to downgrade to an older version
Q : is it okay to downgrade
if not I think I can wait for JB if samsung is going to release that any time soon

Yes, of course it's possible, otherwise people would be stuck if they update and don't like what they flashed.

If your having all those issues your probably flashing an incompatible rom or kernel version.
Go to sammoble.com, grab your stock 4.0.4 rom, flash it in ODIN, flash Siyak kernel and then reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

Why not? Surely you made backups of apps/appdata or even a nandroid backup before installing new rom?
If you made app/app data backup simply restore after wiping/flashing new rom.
If you made a nandroid backup simply use app extractor to extract/install apps/appdata to new rom.
You can also backup/restore SMS with SMS Backup from store and your contacts will auto sync when you enter googole account.
If you go back and forth between roms you will keep on running into issues. Plus flashing stock roms in ODIN wipes your apps/app data anyway so its not as if using the wipe data/factory reset in CWM is going to lose your apps as you will have already lost them.

What he meant was that if you flash a rom with Odin, you don't have to do the wipes manually through CWM again.
TB is a good app (and the most used by people as far as I know) to back up your USER apps (don't back up system apps). After flashing you can restore them, even with your app data included.

the problems i was having is because i didn't wipe thnx anyway
Hello guys. I am currently using Slimbean RC1 and I made a backup of my rooted stock 4.0.4 with Siyah kernel so that when I restore my backup anytime in future then will not have any super brick risks. But I have a confusion. Do I need to do a full wipe in CWM before restoring backup? Or it will wipe automatically?
