Hi friends,
I have used both the ports of CM7 and they both are masterpieces but i now want to move to stock rom DDKQ5. I will be doing a wipe data factory reset + wipe dalvik cache and battery stats and then go to mount and storage and format system. After all these steps i will be installing the DDKQ5 (5 package version). The reason i am writing here is just to make sure i dont brick my device as well many others can use this thread as a discussion of migrating between roms. Let the discussion begin.......
If it's a five package version, you can migrate from any rom to the stock one...

hi,
first off, apologies is this has already been discussed..
i have a sgs2 and have rooted it and installed miui, and then recently installed cyanogen 7.
im having signal problems and my data signal is also poor.
i also find my memory is cluttered with old app data.
i would like to completely remove all data off my phone and install a clean and reliable rom (any recommendations of the best one?). i would also like to update my kernel and firmware to the most reliable one.
can you please advise me on how to do so.
once again apologies if this is already been covered.
thanks

Always use data wipe/factory reset option in CWR.
iv decided i want to go back to stock rom. what is the correct proccess?
Yeah just do data/reset or if u unsure ucan use
Moun then format data cache n system
check the sgs2 forums as there are some guides available and even some odin one-click restores which accomplish the task.
back up any data to pc/external sd and when you do a factory data reset in the rom chose format usb storage as that will clean off any other remnants you may be seeing.
Hello!
Today I just wanted to revert back to the newest MIUI weekly (with the stock kernel). It's just suits best for my daily usage. Before that, I've used bunch of Custom ROM's, used Siyah kernel and done some OC.
Now, my question is: Together with the usual things like:
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik cache
Is it good idea to also format partitions under CWM recovery (/system, /data or some others) to get as fresh, clean install as possible (just don't want to have any traces of ROM's, kernels or settings I had before). Didn't find any clear answers about that so that's why I'm posting it here.
Thanks!
I've done it a couple of times, had no problems. Just be sure to have the MIUI (Or whatever ROM you want to use) zip on the SD card.
Hi!
Yes, I do have the MIUI ROM zip on my device. So, to get as fresh install as possible, should I format all those partitions ? (/system, /data, /boot, /cache)?

For best result, install stock ROM & then hard reset . After that you install whatever you want .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks sendhiloo7! I will do it then
Couple questions I have.
What is the correct procedure for flashing ROMS? Heard you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache, where do you go to wipe dalvik cache?
Do you always have to flash a ROM twice?
When flashing zips for ROM fixes, do you have to re-install base ROM then the ROM fix? EX - Running AOKP Milestone 5.2, there is a problem with the Internal storage mounting. Downloaded a fix off jokersaxs website. In CWM I cleared the cache, flashed the ROM twice and the Internal memory still can not be found.
Thank you for the Help!

1) Depends on what you are flashing. Before flashing the file you will want to read up on it first. Usually there are guidelines in the OP. If you are not sure than best to ask first and make sure you have a backup created. It is a good idea to wipe cache/dalvik several times before flashing. This can be done via your recovery (in CWM dalvik is located under "Advanced" menu) or there are zip files you can flash which will do the wiping for you. I usually do both.
2) No. But with certain roms it is recommended to help prevent issues. Usually if it is needed it will be stated somewhere in the thread.
3) Should not have to but here again it depends on the type of file/fix and if it is necessary should be listed in the OP. Usually just the fix can be flashed otherwise it would be easier for the dev to post an updated rom version to flash.
Hi all,
for now I'm still on a GS2, but I am considering buying a GNote your rom and I like a lot. So I plan to install it on my S2 to go to.
A question: I am in CM9 for now, with your rom (which is based on CM9) can I do the update with the available Nightly of CM9 ?
Or maybe I did not understand (which should not wonder ) and it can not work like that?
Thank you in advance for the answer.
If you are on PARANOIDANDROID v1.0 and update to a nightly from CM9. You will then be on CM9 not PARANOIDANDROID.
Even tho it is based on CM9 it is two different things.
Updates that get put in to CM9 nightlys will be put in to PARANOIDANDROID when they want and their rom will be updated, so will there thread and the OTA updater.
To sum up, if you flash a CM9 Nightly then you will lose your PARANOIDANDROID rom.
Also make sure you use the extended steps to install a new rom.
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):
1.Reboot into recovery
2.Wipe Data / Factory Reset
3.Wipe Cache Partition
4.Install the Main ROM
5.In recovery go to Advanced
6.Wipe Dalvik Cache
7.Fix Permissions
8.Wipe Cache Partition
9.Reboot
10.If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue
11.When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot
12.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)
13.This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.
14.Enjoy!!!
Thank's all.
Still Confused....

Anyways, followed the following instruction which said to (i think)
boot into cwm
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
then i tried to install the file that i get from mediafire using install zip from sdcard
Find the file (in the download folder is where i saved it) but as soon as it starts to install it, stops ..calling out to an error (something 7)
Could someone see if i did it correctly or there is some other issue?
