Ok i have Cm7 2.3.7 and i want to Test LeWa Port! 3.2.2.
How do i install this, Do i just do the usual Like format the phone Wipe Cache and all that Or not. Also if i did Flash to this Would i be able to Flash back to Cm7.
Thanks
Just flash it like any other rom... i.e.
Wipe all - Factory Reset
Format System
Wipe DALVIK Cache
Wipe Battery Stat
FLASH ROM
And yeah, u can flash back to ur cm7 any time.
Make sure that the new rom ur flashing doesn't require u to also flash a different kernel or radio.

Tittle says all!
Things you will need:
1) Copy of Cyanogen Mod 9 FOR S II..DUH!
2) External SD-CARD
4)Custom ROM that you want to Flash!
3) Patience!
How it Works:
Put CM9 on your SD-CARD.
Go into CWM Recovery! (If coming from a custom ROM that isn't booting)
{Otherwise flash stock ROM above 2.3.* and then flash CF-ROOT kernel and then follow the above step}
Select "WIPE DATA/Factory Reset"
Let it finish and Flash CM9 and don't WIPE DATA after flashing!
Boot! Hopefully it will boot and give you the startup screen!
Finish all the forms and such until you get homescreen!
Go into Recovery and Flash ROM without any sort of WIPING!
REBOOT!
CONGRATS! You Have saved your phone from a Field Trip to Samsung!
Don't Forget to click Thanks and flash my ROM first as it is the ROM I tested after flashing CM9! In order to do that just download my ROM and put it on the same SD-CARD and flash after CM9! LINK: DOWNLOAD and if you Just click on the Image in my Signature, it will take you to the whole thread for features and screenshots!
THANKS TO PHISTACHIO for encouraging me to write one more guide!
99.99% of the time a user has a boot loop is due to not cleaning cache or wiping data. Is a guide really necesary?
Also this guide is ONLY for CyanogenMod, you should edit the title to show that.

Thanks for that! But sometimes when you are flashing a your own ROM(junior devs) they mess with boot files and such that with wiping deletes those so this guide with help of CM9 fixes the problem! It does not mean it fixes CM9 or CM it fixes the issue with any custom roms.!
Will this work on a bootlooping stock rom?

Hi, I'm new here and recently got hold of the Samsung Galaxy Ace and was thinking about installing this custom ROM (RazrUIV3) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807
I have tried to understand the stickied thread at the top in regards to using ODIN to do so but I really have no idea what the thread means. I have however found a helpful youtube video to help me, but I would like to verify whether is it ok to do so:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlgZK7VsecA&feature=player_embedded
I see he followed most of the instructions on the page but only wiped the data and factory reset, what is this davlik cache? Thanks for taking time to read my question and apologies if my English is poor.

Sorry I couldn't watch the video because my bandwidth is very limited. I suggest you look at GadgetCheck's videos on flashing the SGAce. No offence to the aforementioned video uploader, though, I just think that GadgetCheck is really reliable and clear on his steps.

The Dalvik Cache is... to simplify just a special type of cache used by most .apk files.
Thanks for the help. I will have a look at Gadgets video. Is the ODIN method in the stickied thread the only way to install a rom? Or can it just be down via CWM?

Both are corrects, but with differences:
ODIN it's for flashing stock roms, and CMW it's for installing custom roms, over the already installed stock so, basically, you've to follow this steps:
1.- Flash any stock rom you want with odin and wipe (cache and partition)
2.- Copy in to your sdcard the CWM and the custom rom (from massive storage mode).*
3.- Run in recovery mode and install the new cwm. Reboot.*
4.- Run in recovery mode (again) and install your custom rom.
5.- Wipe (cache and partition) and reboot.
Now you're running your new custom rom.
* Thats only if the custom rom you want to install need it
I hope helped you
for razrui u need cwm 4 not 5

Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,
Regards,
AJ
I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.
yes, i sent from my phone using Xda Premium, so what?

If you are on an ics kernel, no need to flash a kernel again. If you want to flash CM, then you have to follow all the instructions. While switching between roms, wipe everything except the /data partition. Then install your new custom rom. There is no guarantee that the rom will boot. It is recommended to wipe everything but no harm in trying. It is much safer to backup contacts by going to contacts and export to sd card. For messages you can use Sms backup and restore on market. Use titanium backup for apps. Done!

I would not recommend to format /system. Otherwise you may get a getprop error. The updater-script should wipe /system automatically
Only wipe it if it's recommend in the thread of the rom :good:
follow this procedure bro...
1.Backup
So you dont want to lose data...then first backup your contacts,export it to memory card,
then backup messages using sms backup and restore,u can find that on the play store...
dont forget to make a nandroid backup..
2.Gather info about current device status and the rom u want to flash
then check whether the rom you want to flash requires a different kernel other than the one on your device right now...
if the android versions differ,definitely kernel has to be changed otherwise you can get stuck in a bootloop...
visit the rom thread,check whether there are some bugs associated with your device,download the fixes required if any...
here you might find links to the supported kernels,instructions on installing the rom i.e wipe cache,data,dalvik cache,system etc etc...
download the rom,copy it to your sdcard along with the fixes if any...
3.Start flashing
First flash the kernel...then enter recovery
wipe the partitions that were mentioned on the thread...
then select your rom and flash it..,then enter recovery again if u want to flash the fixes...
4.Restoring..
install titanium backup first,restore all your apps from the nandroid backup,then you can restore the contacts and messages...
you are done
i know its a long procedure,u can get really frustrated until you hit on a stable rom and kernel...but i dont think there is any shortcut to this..
Sometimes the updater-script in your new rom may have been set to delete data,system,cache,dalvik cache. So if u don't want them to delete u have to edit the updater-script.
