Hello im a galaxy s2 user
im using litening v6.1 right now it was really easy to install thourgh odin
the battery life in this rom is not really good even after calibartion so idownloaded check rom v5.5 today and i want to install it but there is no MD5 file like in litening so idont know what to do its says no wipe rom so i dont need wipe i still dont understand how to do it thanks
Why don't u use Leomar75 v2.7.1 revolution rom?
I use it with speedmod kernel and the battery lasted for 20hrs after a massive use.
This rom can be flashed through odin like what u did on litening rom!
Btw,suggest u to backup ur apps with titanium backup and than wipe ur phone b4 flashing it.
However ,I am confused that why can't u flash check rom through Odin- -

Ok can you send me a link please?
ihave all my SD CARD copied to my PC
i dont need backup
icopied the check rom to my root of SD CARD
now i need to go to recovery and just install it
cause it says no wipe rom
The right way to install the rom is that flash it through recovery but not Odin ! Sorry for that- -

For every rom ,no matter no-wipe rom or not, it is better to wipe cache b4 flashing it. If not ,it may cause system crash !
Happy flashing

No more questions, go to the q/a section... and no it doesn't wipe the sdcard.
Hey mate... I am a noob to when it comes to flashing, but no, it does not delete ur sd card. I also use CheckRom V5.5 with siyah 1.8 kernel... Battery life is insane, i have used my phone like crazy today, and it has been unplugged for 13 hours and i still got 50% battery life left. I didn't wipe my cache before flashing this rom, so i got some force close issues, so I'll do a full wipe to. U need to root ur phone at first if it's not rooted. Easiest thing for you is to revert to ur stock rom, flash hellcat kernel and u have rom manager/rooted permission... Xtract CheckRom from that exe file on ur pc and u get a zip/rar file, put it on ur sd card, flash with rom manager in rrcovery mode, and voila, u got s custom rom.

hai friends,
how to intall stock rom in a custem rom phone?
Hence the rule : always take a nand backup between different roms. If you go back a few pages in the general section you will find a nand backup of the stock rom.

ok
but if i want to remove completely(means remove recovery and rom)
what is the method for that purpose?
Is it done by lg kdz updator tool
Use kdz update only as a last resort! It can be dangerous.
For your problem, first restore the nand backup. Then in the development section, there is a thread by ciaox that has flashable zips of all recoveries, including the original recovery. You can flash this zip and your recovery will be restored to the stock one.

KDZ transfers data in realtime from your PC to your phone SO if something goes wrong with your PC (it crashes, freezes, power surge etc) you get a bricked device which can be unbricked in very rare cases.
It's easy to use but very very dangerous.

If you flash the zip 'Original_recovery_thunderg.zip' (or something similar) then yes your custom recovery will be removed and it will get reverted to stock recovery.

openOptimus is a very stable and fast ROM; I'm very pleased with it. Works very fine with francisco v13.3 kernel and the battery life is pretty good.
@zalman: did you wipe everything before installing the new rom? By that I mean data, cache, dalvik, system.
Hi: I've been enjoying using the CyanogenMod for a couple of months now and love it. Thanks to all who created it and continue to improve it.
I simply want to upgrade to the latest stable version. Here's what I "think" I need to do. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could verify the same.
1) put zipped flash onto root of SD Card
2) Backup phone using Titanium Backup
3) Power off phone and choose "recovery" shut-down option
4) Choose zipped flash from sdcard
5) Wait for flash to complete
The other options on the reboot menu include among other things: Wipe, Mounts, Other. I've read in other post that it's a good idea to wipe dalvick-cache. Should I do so - and am I missing anything else?
If there's already a thread out there that walks one through these steps, I was unable to find it - but would appreciate being pointed to the same.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Unless you are updating from a previous version of CM, you should always do a full wipe. Take backups of your sms, contacts, etc.

If you are goin' from froyo or other ROM you have to wipe ALL. It means Data (format system)/Cache/Dalvik Cache/BattStats . If you are goin' from earlier CM7 then wipe Cache/Dalvik cache/battstats.

Now then guys... i am thinking about rooting my phone to put jelly bean on my samsung galaxy s2 .... i was just wondering views on which is the best one to go for ( LINKS PLEASE ) and is it easy to do you know the usual questions you will have heard them before lol IM A NEWBIE !!!
Cheers People
Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-root-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpd-88120/
Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

What type of data? Music and photos are saved to the external SD card for me, and as for game save data, I believe that is externally backed up as well.

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

There should be no need to install it twice in a row. Try what was first suggested.. when in recovery, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM... reboot.

Bummer. Yeah flash another ROM if you have it on your SD card.. try to boot into something. If it was a bad DL of the omega rom it shouldn't flash, and the fact that your getting successful is weird
Next step is maybe pushing a files onto your phone via ADB and try to flash again. You got recovery so your not too bad off

Go into recovery and look for mounts and storage. Go into that and format data and cache. Come out of that and go into advanced and wipe cache there too. Reboot.
If that don't work reflash the rom and gapps. If that don't work flash stock with Odin. Standard stuff really. :thumbup:
