These are the steps i followed:
- flashed XXLPH onto my phone
- flashed CF-Root
- took out my SD card
- put the two parts on my phones SD card
- performed data, cache, dalvik wipe for good measure
- installed part 1
- rebooted, phone did the "android is upgrading" stuff and loaded properly
- restarted into CWM right after phone booted up successfully
- installed part 2
- rebooted
I am noticing multiple issues that were said to be resolved/do not occur when flashed properly but I can't figure out what I did wrong. Could someone point me in the right direction/let me know how they did it?

Hi so i have CM7 on my SGS2 i want to install cm9 on it but i want to erase everything.
i made a backup of all my apps using titanium backup just in case.

its says this.
If you're a bloody noob and getting confused by following simple instructions, go down and read about using the noob-proof ODIN method.
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:
- READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.p...sked_Questions
- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)
- make sure you're running a proper working CWM like the one from CM7
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Flash GApps zip
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)
- Reboot
- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!
Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:
- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache
- Reboot
Using the noob-proof ODIN method:
- Download CM9 Resurrection Edition
- Download GApps and put it onto your internal sdcard
- Open Odin
- Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA
- Boot your phone into download mode
- Connect your device via usb to your computer
- Wait till Odin has fully recognized your phone
- Hit the start button and wait till the flash process is finished
- Device boots automatically into recovery
- Flash GApps, wipe cache and dalvik-cache
- Reboot into CM9
- Follow above steps to update CM9 to lastest available version (Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9)
should i do the noob list?
will it erase all my phone and make a clean install? (thats what i want)

Yes, do only this, and yes it will wipe everyone.
Do nothing, from clock work mod format data, system, cache, now flash from internal SD card. Don't have to do anything.
And do not restore anything from cm7. No titanium backups/restores

so i actually installed it but i still have all the folders from CM7 like program and games folders and all the attachments i downloaded from emails and stuff.
how do i erase them all?
Just to be sure, you are ok with whole sd format? Easiest way imo is just doing the full wipe from recovery and just install the zip. You could also format sd from there so pictures and everything deletes

already told you read again, unless you are talking about the left overs, for that wipe the internal storage.
so what i did was, i erased everything manually from the sd card, but i have noticed that the phone is using the external SD card to save eeeeverything from pictures to App data and the internal memory is empty.
what do i do?

Hi there,
I've recently decided to do a bit of a clean up and upgrade my ROM from Omega v36 to v39. However from the Official site, I noticed it went from Omega I9300 XXELLA to Omega I9300 XXEMA1. I didn't think this would be a problem as they were both for the GS3 I9300 which is what mine is.
I followed these steps posted on a site:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe the cache partition
3. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik and batt stats.
3.5 Do factory reset to wipe my data. <---This I did myself as I wanted a fresh install.
4. Go back to mounts and storage and format system, then data, then cache.
5. Go back and install the rom zip file from the sd card.
6. Reboot.
It seemed to install OK as it took me through the Omega setup but didn't really say install complete...just went to the main CMW menu which I then proceeded to reboot as mentioned in step 6.
It comes up with Samsung Galaxy GSIII like normal but after it turns black, comes up with it again with a red symbol near top left and then takes me back to CMW. I deleted the old version of Omega off my phone and now I'm confused with what to do.
Can I do anything with Odin? I can still access the download mode.
Someone, anyone, please help me.
Thank you for your time.
AW: [Q] Flashing Omega rom gone wrong!
Remove SD-Card... Format it on a PC with FAT only put Omega on it. Boot into recovery. To be safe use cwm 5.xxx wipe evereything..
Turn off Device.. Put sd Card into the Slot and boot into recovery.. Install omega...

Hey i think you have a bad download of v39 (corrupted file) so the new rom didnt install properly, but the problem is you formatted your old system and rom, so now you need to download it again (now its omega v40 XXEMA2), make sure of the md5, put it on your external sdcard (make sure its FAT formatted). and then install it again.

When you say Format it on a PC with FAT...does it matter if its FAT32 formatted?

What do you mean by "make sure of the md5"? Also, like I asked the other guy...does it matter if it is FAT32 and not FAT? Downloading Omega v40 XXEMA2 now
Do you know what MD5 means ??? if not google .
FAT 32 not FAT 16 .

Fixed Thanks for everyone's help. Turns out it was just a corrupted file the v39. I've now installed v40. Woop!
Okay, so my phone wasn't sending messages all of a sudden. I have a P769 on jelly bean rooted. I restarted it and it got stuck in a bootloop over and over again after countless battery removals. I used CWM and tried to restore my backup of JB rooted, and all I got was a bunch of force closes. So I restored to my 10G rooted on ICS. All of my Google apps were gone and I went to take a picture and it said my internal memory was full and wouldn't read my SD card. I did factory resets and nothing works. I'm not sure what else to try.. any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I finally got JB to load and it would scan my SD card, then reboot itself while it was still up and running? I could see my backlights on my buttons flashing. So I took out my SD card, same thing. I wiped the cache and reformatted my SD card and now i'm getting an error message saying that my UIDs are inconsistent and it won't let me do a thing on the phone. My phone was fine 12 hours ago.. I haven't downloaded a thing or accessed anything at all.

I know the UID inconsistent error from my previous phone. Wipe data. Solves the problem.

How did you 'reformatted sdcard' ? Are you talking about internal memory(built in) or external memory (microsd)?
If you have some fresh backup system like 20x STOCK or whatever. (you can download it from XDA)
After this actions it will totally format your phone. You will no longer have system, apps, files that were on internal memory. It's kind of format C: on computer! So make sure you have backup on your external sdcard (microsd) and make sure to don't format your external sdcard.
I did it few times when I was messing around with custom ROMs so it's safe. I'm owner of P760 but don't think so if it will cause some problems.
1.Then you can go into CWM and mounts and storage and format following:
/cache
/data
/system
/sdcard - it is INTERNAL MEMORY (built in)
2.and then Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
3. backup and restore -> restore from external sdcard -> choose your backup

I've wiped the data like the previous answer, and I also tried this.. I went into CWM and formatted all of this and wiped the dalvik cache, then tried to restore from external sdcard, which I tried my JB and ICS and neither worked. Right now I am on my JB and it just gets stuck at the T-Mobile 4G logo.
EDIT: I tried formatting everything and restoring from my external sdcard and my phone won't recognize my sdcard anymore. It says there are no files on it, but I try it on another phone and I can see the files.
I've had something along these lines before on my Huawei Honor. I never did work out what was wrong. I asked on xda and it was suggested that the partitions on the phone had resized/gone corrupt.
I'm not saying this is what has happened in your case. The sudden force closes and then no boot is what my Honor did.
Can you get software update mode to come on? Switch off, hold volume up and plug in usb from pc.

Yes I had the same problem when I upgraded from ics to jb. Never figured out what happened but I copied all my files to the computer then I formatted my external sd. After the format I just copied all the stuff back on the card. Also cwm doesn't work for the second partition. Good luck.

I've read some other posts where this has caused a certain amount of controversy but no post seemed to actually answer the question..
Using the Wipe data\Factory reset in ClockWorkMod Recovery has started to wipe the ENTIRE device
(excluding the external SD card)
I have flashed dozens of custom ROMs in the past and what normally happens is my external SD card contents remains safe, this still happens, no problem there, and all my personal documents such as music, pictures, videos and all other files that are not part of the actual ROM itself remain safe too.
BUT
Yesterday, i flashed a certain ROM designed to resemble the S4 (with leaked 4.2.2). Its performance was shockingly bad and other reasons caused me to flash a new ROM which i had used in the past - but when i wiped data/factory reset through CWM - ALL MY INTERNAL SD CONTENTS WHERE GONE
Things i did notice with the 4.2.2 ROM before re-flashing were that:
-When i connected it to the computer (via USB) my device was seen as i9500 (the S4)
-Also, it had created a "0\" folderto store the system ROM.
-I also noticed, wehn re-flashing, it took longer to wipe data than usual..
NOTE: I DID NOT USE THE FACTORY RESET THROUGH ANDROID SETTINGS - THIS, I KNOW, WILL WIPE THE ENTIRE INTERNAL SD, PERSONAL FILES AND ALL. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH CWM.
Because obviously the 4.2.2 ROM wiped my entire Internal SD i had no ROM packages left on it to flash and because obviously i didnt know this until i wiped/reset it involved me having to use ODIN to reflash a STOCK ROM just to be able to boot up and transfer files (ROM packages) from PC to phone - which obviously then meant i had to reflash CWM aswell before i could install the new ROM.
Final Note:
The problem i have, is that i have to do the above EVERYTIME i want to flash a different ROM (i flashed 3 last night).
For some reason when i wipe through CWM my internal SD card is COMPLETELY WIPED!
The question is......Why???
Could the 4.2.2 ROM have re-partitioned my internal SD card and now CWM thinks the ENTIRE thing is data to wipe?
This is the only reasoning i could put to why it wont leave MY FILES alone...
If this IS the case, how do i get it back to normal??
I'm told, on numerous websites in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS that selecting 're-partition' in ODIN is bad and is just a ticket for a free paperwieght (the phone!).
Thank you to ANYONE who can help with this......

Thanks for your help, however the info you suggested does not solve my query..
The info you've provided assumes that the data is stored somewhere else, ie. 0\
Although my device did create a 0\ location when wiping the data, no personal data was in this location.
When i flashed back to stock using Odin, i could see that my phones internal storage was only 1.0-1.5GB used.
Before i started this i only had about 900mb left on my device!
So its not that my data is hiding somewhere.....its gone, and everything on my hones internal storgare is wiped everytime i "wipe data/factory reset" through CWM.
Hello!
For some reason I am having some major trouble when I'm trying to install UltimaAOSP v1.1.1 [Valhalla] on my i9300. I have been running UltimaRom v15 for a long time now, but it has been acting up lately (the photo sphere function in the camera crashes every time it's launched and the "system UI" crashes when i try to enable the GPS), so I decided to try out UltimaAOSP.
I have followed the install instructions exactly, wipe data/factory reset and unmount cache. I have tried with and without installing GApps.
PROBLEM: When i restart the phone I can barely get past the sim password screen before stuff starts crashing (contextprovider, phone and one more that i can't remember), and It just keeps crashing over and over so I can't really do anything. When It's left alone for 30 seconds or so it restarts the phone and everything starts crashing again.
"Extra" stuff i have tried:
- Wiping cache partition
- Clearing dalvik cache
- Moving the .zip-file to the internal sd card and external sd card
- Installing V1.1, got exactly the same error(s)
I am currently using CWM 6.0.4.6
Please help? This Is driving me nuts!

Try a full wipe format in mounts and storage format the following: format/system, format/cache, format /preload, format /data, warning this will leave you without any rom so make sure you have one ready to flash on your Ext SD.
Because you are not fully wiping it is leaving files behind which interferer with your new installation (short explanation)
Also I would recommend Philz recovery which does all this for you (it as a option to wipe to install a new rom) :good:
