Will this work?
Currently running AOKP ICS Rom
1. Do a Nandroid Backup
2. Full Wipe/ Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache/Delvik
4. Load the GB rom
5. Do a Nandroid backup of the GB rom
6. Repeat steps, 2 and 3
7. Load ICS Rom
Will I have problems doing this? Basically I'd like to run a different couple of roms without having to load all my stuff back on them.

There are multiple threads/posts about switching from GB to ICS.
There are also many threads/posts about switching from ICS to GB.
But this is a new thread switching back and forth, LOL
@OP, it will absolutely work if you perform correctly. And in case, it's not, keep reflashing until working.
Actually the thing to do would be:
Current ROM: GB Rom
1. Wipe device/factory wipe
2. wipe cache/delvik
3. Flash ICS Rom
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2
5. Restore ICS Nandroid
I forgot that modems aren't restored via Nandroid backups.

You were on GB ROM, you flashed ICS ROM in step 3 but what step 5 was for?
Why would you restore ICS Nandroid after flashing ICS ROM?
Logical thinking?
a. where does that ICS Nandoid come from?
b. when was it made?
c. restore Nandroid backup? do you understand what that is and what that for?

Hate to ask a dumb question but..
if I was to try a different ICS ROM say going from SHOstock's ICS ROM to task's AOKP 4.0.4 can I use the back up from SHOstock's and restore to AOKP?

Everything backed up by the Nandroid back up, apps, settings, layout, system files ect...
I'm Running Nandroid backup right now and realizing what I am asking is probably not doable seeing the two ROMs will have different launchers and such..
I take it that if I flash task's AOKP and decide to go back to SHOstock THEN I can use the backup I'm running now to restore... Correct??
you do know how a nandroid works right?
Not exactly, I always used TiPro to restore apps&data but never used Nandroid for a restore.. That's why I'm asking, just not quite sure what its limits are..

if you restore a complete nandroid, you are restoring the COMPLETE rom....wiping out the new rom.
you should never restore /system anything when going from one rom to another.
a nandroid is a complete system image. like a snapshot of your entire phone

I upgraded my sgs2 from unnamed 2.2.1 to SHOStock 2.1 and I was wondering how I could go back to UnNamed 2.2.1? I tried looking around, but I couldn't find a definite answer. Should I just boot into recovery and flash the unnamed zip? Or what should I do?
Thanks
Just do a full wipe and flash whatever ROM you want. I don't think it matters if you're coming from ICS.

that's right, but make sure the modem flashes as well.
You could just restore the nandroid backup, which you saved right before you flashed...

All modems that work with this device are interoperable. I'm still on UCKH7 with ICS.

Like the others said, if you don't have a nandroid backup, just do a full wipe & flash unnamed. I'm pretty sure it will flash the modem that unnamed comes with, but you wouldn't have to worry about modems anyway.

Just upgraded from 9.0. Question is, will all upgrades require a full wipe? Or is there a way to upgrade like the other roms, where u just flash zip.

Most minor updates don't require a full wipe. Normally the only ones that do require it are when the ROM is switching bases. For example moving from LP3 to LP7 or something similar.

First BACKUP!
Next try flashing 9.1 without a wipe, it should work fine but if it doesn't then a full wipe is required and if you don't want to wipe just restore your backup.

Hey guys, need a little help here.
I know this is a silly question but still I wanna make sure, nothing goes wrong
I'm on leaked JB XXLSJ firmware and I want to revert back to ICS 4.0.3...So i just simply need to flash back the 4.0.3 via odin, right?
Because i read it somewhere, few people downgrading from leaked JB to official ICS FW had bricked their phones.
So i just need to flash the .tar file via odin or I need to do something extra?

What most suggest is to use a kernel without brick bug just to be safe, though many say it only occurs when going 4.0.4
When I went from LSJ, I installed PhilZ kernel where theres a function for a clean rom wipe (PhilZ settings i think its called)
Then after that to be safe I did the full wipe, cache partition and manually format /system and /data (don't wipe SDCARD)
Then installed an ICS rom again, its always best to do a clean wipe just to make sure because there will be differences between JB and ICS.
I've gone back and forth from ICS and JB many times now and so far everything is ok:good:

You could click Thanks instead of writing Thanks
1)Download latest PhilZ Kernel
2)Boot to recovery
3)Flash PhilZ Kernel
4)Reboot to recovery
5)In Recovery - PhilZ settings - Clean wipe for rom install
6)Wipe data/factory reset
7)Wipe cache partition
8)Mounts and storage - Format /system , Format /data, Format /cache
9)Install your ICS rom

Dont be a fricking idiot, That will brick his device. You forgot to tell him install custom kernel after flashing rom.
Just go back into download mode and flash Siyah kernel (.tar) and then you will have custom kernel and ability to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Once this is done rom should boot fine.

Steps are like these..
--Go into download mode after flashing custom rom.
--put latest siyah kernel's .tar file into PDA and then flash.
--Wipe data/cache.

Actually sorry my bad and apologies. Must have not noticed he specifically wants 4.0.3 not 4.0.4.
No real need to stay on 4.0.3 though when you can get rid of bug by flashing cutsom kernel on 4.0.3.

Im stuck in recovery after trying to flash back to stock and getting stuck in hidden, how do I get out of this dummies guide please.

Ok, I purchased a Galaxy Note 2 (Verizon) that is already rooted and is running Jelly Bean's Build 4 by BeansTown106. Love it but want to get the latest and greatest Build 7 on it. I'm a bit confused as to what steps I need to take to do this. I know all the information I need has already been posted and I have been RTFF but I'm kind of lost as to what I have to do FIRST. I mean, it's already rooted so I'm not sure what I need to do first as most of the guides are for stock unrooted phones. I don't know if I have to go back to completely stock or what. Please keep in mind I am new to this regarding ROMs on phones so what may seem obvious to you may not be to me.
Sorry if this has been asked before but I did search and the only thing I found close to my question was from two years ago.
TL;DR
Bought phone already rooted with custom ROM, how do I "upgrade" to the newest version of the ROM?
THANKS!
Download rom, put it on root of sd card, boot into recovery, do a backup of ur current rom, wipe system and cache, install new rom, I wipe cache again and then reboot system. Done.

Okay so if you're unlocked do what INCREMENTAL said and if you're not unlocked do this:
1)Flash root66 to return to stock rooted.
2)once youre stock rooted follow this steps to unlock bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348 and then do what incremental posted.

Yes but if beans 4 uses the same install method as beans 1 you only have to flash it with Odin. You dont need unlocked bootloader for that.

quick tip
going from one rom to another as in going from Jbeans to Coolrom its mandatory you wipe data,cache, & davlik
going from rom to updated rom as in Jbeans 4 to Jbeans 7 its not necessary to wipe data, (ive never had issues)... might wipe cache and devlik but not data
ALSO
probably best to download titanium back up to backup all your apps

I wouldn't recommend not wiping unless the dev specifically says not to. Some people may not have problems, but most do and its more work in the end. If you don't wipe don't ask why something isn't working or why it's acting up. Beans thread is full of people asking how to fix problems that are only an issue because they didn't wipe.
Follow up question that I can't seem to find a concrete answer for...I am unlocked, running Beans 6 on VRALJB (never took the OTA) with perseus 31.2. If I want to flash a VRALL4 rom (say beans 7 or Eclipse) do I need to do anything beside the standard of putting the rom on the SD card, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache? In other words, does flashing the ROM upgrade me to the new baseband, or do I have to do that first?
Thanks

Updating the baseband is separate from the ROM. Place it on your SD card and install from Recovery.
So I would flash the VRALL4.modem.zip first and then whatever VRALL4 ROM I choose (after wiping, etc). I am guessing after flashing the modem I would NOT reboot before flashing the ROM, correct?

Try to flash the rom but make sure to have a backup inside your phone just in case it doesnt works, you can take the battery off and plug it back one and then restore the backup. If that doesnt work you can always return to vraljb stock, update and unlock.
