hi, i wanna ask...if i wanna flash to another devoid.Franco ROM (previously using void.echo) do i still need to dl the Terminal Emulator & Custom Recovery Tool Image and its Flash Image then run the Terminal Emulator & key in the codes then only start flashing another ROM?
i've did tat at the first time i flashed to a void.echo ROM now i wanted to flash to devoid.franco, do i still need to repeat all that step again? or i just enter the "power button, volume down button and home button" mode then wipe then flash will be good?..need advice thanks..
Just wipe and flash..
thanks for quick reply!
another question...how do i know that i already have the ext partition?...after i wipe everything included wipe ext..do i still need to create again?
Wiping doesn't remove partition..
On Mike mod
can we install franco kernel on mike mod 6.5.2
If your from void#echo previously, do these:
1. Backup all your user apps+contacts via Titanium Backup and all SMS via SMS backup
(they're all available free in the market)
2. Turn off phone. Reboot to recovery (hold power button+home+vol down)
3. Wipe user data, .android secure, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, and wipe ext.
4. Since your on void#echo already, you don't need to partition your sdcard.
5. Download devoid.franco, use usb-toggle on the recovery menu and copy it from pc to your phone while on the recovery and flash it.
6. Reboot (first boot might take a while)
7. Configure settings, Install titanium backup and sms restore app, Then restore all apps+settings+SMS. Enjoy~
8. Well if you know already what your doing and want some further improvements (completely optional, just do a nandroid backup incase) :
8.1 Reboot to recovery
8.2 Flash the latest kernel version from franco's thread
8.3 Reboot
8.4 Flash the ZRAM module
8.5 Reboot and Enjoy your phone
Thanks Kira.Lawliet!
hmm...i actually partition my sdcard again...yea..i flash before saw your reply ._.
will it harm? i partition my sdcard again....n flash to devoid.franco
You have to partition only if you want apps2sd. Else let it be. You can easily remove the ext partition by partitioning with 0mb ext partition in recovery.

definitely you can. just flash your device with mik_os mod first. then flash the franco kernel (v15 now) and lastly flash the ZRAM initializer.
just make sure you wipe the cache and dalvik cache first before you're flashing.
flashing
Ok guys just remember that rom flashing requires you to follow rom partition conditions while kernel flashing may not need to recreate partitions. In my case, I'm using Nessy Hypnos2 and been running with much fluidity after flashing FrancoKernel 14.2. But I did wipe all just to make sure there wont be any conflicts. HYPNOS2 + FRANCOKERNEL 14.2 is like coffee and cream, a perfect match like newlyweds.

Just an idea to restore large data.
An idea is coming to my mind where we can use recovery instead of titanium backup to restore large amount of data.
The idea is to backup only data, android.secure folder and ext via amonRa recovery.
Now, if you are changing roms, you can try to do this thing.
After installation of the rom, restore this backup via recovery.
(If you have ext, flash dt apps2sd first and then restore.)
Don't wipe anything after restore and reboot.
See how it goes.
If all goes well, this may be a good alternative to titanium where a whole bunch of data is required to be restored.
I will also attempt this shortly.
Another important thing.
Just two hours back I flashed cm 6.6.1, flashed gapps, flashed Franco kernel 40, flashed dt apps2sd in that order without rebooting and everything went well after first reboot. I had rom, gapps, kernel and ext everything working fine. So I think there is no need to reboot in between in this case.

Nice trick, but you can only restore all apps or none. You cant select which apps you would like to restore and if any of the data gets corrupt you will lose all apps.
Hows 6.6.1 treating you ? I am using 6.5.7 which is great in terms of performance and battery.

Often, while changing roms, we think of having our current apps on the new rom.
As for 6.6.1, its going very fine. Previously I had uninstalled it due to wifi problem, but I hadn't checked it with Franco kernel.
With Franco gb kernel its all fine.

Did you try with app2sd script ?
I've once tried this but with data2sd, it didn't work. (or maybe the script doesnt succeeded at first place).
Anyway, thanks for reminding this
i believe this may also work with cwm (make a backup, wipe the usual stuff, flash the new rom, restore data.img in advanced restore). please confirm this
I think it should work. We will have to select all three data/android secure /ext one by one.

It works!
Just used this method to upgrade from mike's os beta6.5.6 to beta6.5.8 with Darktremor's A2SD.
-Booted in the cwm recovery and did a compleat backup
-Wiped everything, data/cache/dalvkin..everything
-Flashed os (didny reboot as recomended)
-Flashed new kernel
-Rebooted to check if the OS was loading (think you can skip this)
-Back to custom recovery-> backup and restore -> advance restore -> restor data and sd-ext
-Rebooted to check if the os was loading (think you can skip this)
-Back to custom recovery -> flash darktremor 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 reboot (realy took long 5min+ to load)
Tryd this a couple of times ( hence the many reboots to check if everything was ok) at the end didnt manage to make it boot with darktremor's 2.7.5.2-1 had to go with the relative new beta.
just my 2cents
Yes it works fine - with Advanced Restore
Hello,
To Switch ROMS
I have tried this twice - 1st do a nandroid backup
Wipe data/ Factory reset/ wipe cahe/ Dalvik Cache
Flash new ROM - Reboot for assurance really
Advanced Restore/choose backup/ restore data then restore cache/ reboot X 2
I find this easier than Ti Backup/ and more comprehensive.
I do not recommend ROM Manager for anything other than flashing recoveries
Thanks for reading this far
I've installed clockworkmod on my phone, however I am cautious about installing a rom that requires a different kernel as I'm unsure how to return to stock kernel for a different rom.
How do you return to the original kernel?
You can download a flashable zip for the stock kernel (sorry I dont have a link atm) and you can install a rom which has the stock kernel included. You can also backup your rom in recovery (make sure you have enough space on your sd card, I recommend about 2Gb because a backup can easily be more or less 1.5 Gb) and restore again if you dont want the custom rom anymore. The backup will include the kernel. Always make sure you use the wipe data button in recovery before you install a rom or restore a backup! Also check if the kernel for CDMA or GSM, Idk which one you have, because installing the wrong one may brick your device

process to flashing a new ROM... follow this religiously and 99% of the time you will have no issues.
wipe data twice
wipe cache twice
(no need to wipe dalvik cache when you wipe data, because dalvik cache is in the /data/ directory, so when you wipe data, you are wiping dalvik cache)
format system through recovery or do what i have always been doing and flash a .zip that formats system, data, cache, all that for you in one move.
the synergy superwipe.zip is a great tool to use, so is virus' infectedwipe tool. either of those.
also, i haven't been using clockwork mod for a while, but if it is able to backup your boot.img separately, back it up. your kernel is packaged in your boot.img so if you flash a completely stock ROM, and back up your boot.img, you have effectively backed up and saved a copy of the stock kernel.
hope that helps.
I am noob in s2 kitchen, I want install this rom..
I'm on Androidhouse 2.3.6, and kernel: [email protected] #101, baseband I9100XXKP1, ROM version: TurkbeyRom v30
Tutorial or help me pleasse
here are the steps for the instalation mate..you find them in the faq on the resurrection remix thread with all the files you need..hope this is enough
The steps on the OP are very clear but apparently some users miss some things or can't get a properly installation so, here are the extended steps (personally i'm always use this method):
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install the Main ROM
In recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue
When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot
When you boot again into the system the data will be enable and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this before)
This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.
Enjoy!!!

Remember always to take a backup before flashing any rom.
Good Luck.
I've recently downloaded the Stable version of CM and I don't know how to install it, after installing it will I lose my data? App game datas?
Thanks a lot
True. When you install a new rom you should wipe data. Otherwise it crashes on startup. You can back up the data that

So how do I install it?
I've looked into the other installation guides but those are for CM10.2 (Andorid 4.3) so I think its different installation method from 10.1, but I cant find a tutorial
C'mon...Read the first page of the CM10 thread & follow the installation instructions. Doesn't take a MENSA member to get it done
If you have used titanium backup root hayz to backup game data. Want to install a new ROM to install it into RECOVERY. If the rom you download it tails. ZIP Remember to wipe data + cache + dakvil before.
My device GT-i9100G
note: im always start all my flash from stock ROM (meaning stock JB 4.1.2)
my usual method, all can be done in the phone, no need odin if youre already stock;
-download all related file, CM10.1.3, CM GApps, Blazing kernel v8 (if you dont want your binary counter to change)...put them in external SD
-boot into recovery, select apply update from external storage, select file blazing kernel v8, let it finish and reboot normally
-then reboot into recovery again and install your Cm10.1.3 and GApps by navigating to your external SD (sorry cant remember the path)
-after finish installing both above file, let it reboot...if bootloop, reboot back into recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik, and then reboot
now your CM10.1.3 is ready~

hii,
My device is currently running on miui 8.5.4.0 global stable,i want to flash los 14.1,and planned some steps in order to revert back to miui safely.please correct me if i am wrong.
1.boot into twrp recovery.
2.Take full backup of current working rom including system.
3.clear data/system/cache/dalvik.
4.flash firmware-los rom-gapps-reboot.
Steps to revert back:-
1.boot into twrp recovery.
2.clear data/system/cache/dalvik.
3.restore full miui backup including system.
4.flash lazy flasher zip to disable dm-verity and forced encryption.
5.reboot.
i have just learnt basics completely but i had some doubts so i posted the entire procedure i thought to do.
thanks.
After taking backup first go to Wipe menu and "Format Data" , type yes and reboot recovery, it will remove encryption - then you can wipe data/system/cache etc..
/system wipe is never necessary .. You can skip that

doesn't it mess up with firmware flash of custom rom?does a custom rom contains a system partition of its own to be flashed?or it just replaces or moves required system files to system partition of stock rom? help me to clear my concept!

Every ROM does contains its own system ..
When you flash any ROM (a full fledged ROM not OTAs) , the previous system is replaced by the later one ..

You'll have to understand what Format Exactly we are here talking about .. When you go to TWRP/wipe , you are provided with 2 options , Format and Advanced wipe .
The format option is set to "wipe" the partitions, /data /cache /dalvik , that is generally what we require in order to flash ROMs , the wipe Option is hence the same as format , but I think the guy above is talking about Full fledged Wipe that includes the "internal storage" as well which can be selected by twrp/wipe/advanced wipe

thanks.one more question.
why dont i need to disable dm-verity and forced encryption after flashing custom rom?why kernel doesn't trigger it,because in that case there is a modification in system partition and dm-verity feature of kernel should prevent the rom from booting.
The "kernel" itself also gets replaced by a modified kernel .. But then again , I'm not sure as to why DM verity doesn't kick in , better ask the Developers (Y)

when you want to revert back you dont need to wipe anything or flash disable dm verify, just restore your previous nandroid backup and thats all
