It's a random softbrick, no changes have been made for months, so I've not backed up for ages, I want to svae contacts and messages and app data.
Will odin wipe data, can it be repaired with CWM no wipe flash?
Long version.
I've been using ICS for 4 months.
I did a wipe and fresh install on the release of the official GB ICS.
I then used clockwork mod to changle toggles and clock, then triangle away.
Things were ok until a month ago when I hit the App to SD memory bug, which was fixed be removing apps back to internal.
Again been fine for about a month.
Then today, random lock on "Samsung Galaxy s II gt-9100" screen.
No changes have been made for ages, the only change was adding on{x} today.
Whats the best way to try and get this fixed? I want to save as much data as I can, I've not backed up for a few months, as I wasn't ,making any changes.
Should I just Just use odin and see what happens, or is there a better way, even if it is longer?
Can I put a no wipe flash on my SD and use CWM to try and repair? Is this a more complicated risk move? if so whats the risk.
I'd really like to keep as much as I can 'cos I've got the perfect setup for me (besides the boot lock...)
THanks folks.

Yeah, thanks for the help anyway.
I didn't know if using CWM to flash a different rom would work.
I was hoping a no wipe rom would fix the error was and keep my apps and data.
It didn't.
I used odin to flash a base > then CWM > then resurection.
I've lost loads of data :-(
But my phones sweet
lol, you win some and you loose some.
I really should know better, as a sys admin I bollock folks all the time for not doing backups. luckily I backed up messages recently, so should also have contacs there. Just all my save games, app data, is gone

I wanted to flash my wt19i with the AOSP ROM. Is wiping the user data necessary before flashing it? What will happen if i dont wipe the user data?
Yes. It is highly recommended, especially if coming from stock ROM.
Else there will be compability problems with certain files that can lead to force closes and/or freezing/restarting.
But u can still flash ROMs without Wiping user data right
Sure, but the risk of having problems with new rom is significantly higher.
Anyone know why always encounter error bad zip then installation aborted while installing exMIUI Using stock rom 4.0.4 rooted? Is it any relation with wiping data? Cache & dalvik ?

Clearing user data / factory reset is always a good idea when changing ROMs. Minimizes issues especially if the ROM you're flashing has an app you already have. Not clearing has been known to cause FCs in such cases and un+reinstalling doesn't help at times.
If you're concerned about apps already installed and don't wanna lose the settings or just simply don't want to reinstall them, backup using TB. Restore after flashing is done.

Based on my experience, yes, there are too many issues that can occur trying to preserve the data. Maybe an expert could do it, but even then, probably not worth the effort.

Not always necessary
It is not always necessary but it is recommended
For example I was coming from ex miui 4 and wanted real ics , so I just installed the zip over miui and it was running fine. Just wifi error but you can fix that easily
A few days ago i put on Siyah neweset 5.0.1 kernel on my S2 and overclocked but my performance hasn't increased much so i'm gonna put Ressurection Remix ROM now but the first step on the guide says to format my phone and i hate loseing my things, is there anyway to keep my stuff on the new ROM D: ? I'm not sure what to do QQ i don't wanna screw this up, also i'm gonna make a few backups, cuz 1 isn't enough.
Over clocking doesn't increase performance per se.
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your current apps. Use SMS backup+ for your texts and call lists.
Images, vids, music etc are unaffected by formatting via CWM.

If you want to switch to another ROM, I guess it's best to backup all your apps via Titanium Backup. As far as I remember, the list displays white apps, red ones and green ones. The red ones are system apps and you should backup them since they differ from ROM to ROM. The white ones are apps which you have installed on your phone (via Google Play...). The green entries are things like "Messages" "Phone call history" and stuff like that.. I guess you can backup them too.
You won't loose your contacts as long as they are stored on your googlemail-account. So no need to safe them.
Then just backup your current ROM via ClockworkMod (I guess one backup is enough :b - If you want to be 100% sure try to backup and right after it finished try to restore the backup. If it works (in 99,9% of all cases) you can just flash your new ROM - if it didn't work try to backup+restore again. As soon as you've got a working backup (I guess the first backup will be OK), flash the new ROM and restore the needed apps via Titanium Backup again. (Just download Titanium Backup right after flashing RR and you will be able to restore every single app again).
More and more ROM devs advise not to restore apps via Titanium Backup, but it always worked fine for me
Hope I helped you,

You dont need to format everything to install a Custom Rom. Just wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache(under advanced).

Don't be ridiculous.
What about something simple like "How to backup data before installing new rom?"
In any case you should have searched google or XDA first as there is plenty of topics on how to flash roms without losing data or how to backup all your apps/appdata etc.

I can't find the button to change tittle, it must be hidden under 3 layers of bedrock.
Anyway, i've been useing this rom since yesterday, it's awesome .. mostly
Some minor disadvantages, some things like Clock crash, won't update some things but that's normal.
My stock benchmark was 6800, now 6200 D:
Probably becouse the rom uses more RAM than stock.. Overall 8.7/10 <3
I'll keep testin.
EDIT: OH YEA! what were those "modems" it asked me when i was installing it?

not really new to this stuff, but i am when it comes to the note 2.
props to the guys that put CASUAL together, with little effort other than installing the drivers from the samsung website, a few tries and reboots, 3rd go and it only took maybe 3 minutes to do the work for me.
so, now i am looking for a way to debloat the rom that came with my phone, not ready to jump into the custom flashing yet, but i would like to remove a few things i never use that verizon drops into the rom.
from past experience deleting from the /system/app and /data directories caused issues with stability on my htc rezound.
also one other thought, with the lg enlighten, rebooting with /system as RW would bootloop the phone, the rezound didn't mind at all, how does the note 2 react to being RW?
any suggestions to debloating the current running rom are welcome, i have already had some for custom roms, but more input would be ok too.
Get titanium backup and remove those apps.
Then I'd make a backup and when you are ready to custom flash, get cleanrom. From the sounds of it that is what you are looking for.
that's what i had said before, but eventually i would like to flash a modded rom, but right now i am thinking about just debloating this one, for fun.
one thing that concerns me, has anyone flashed a rom the s-pen doesn't work on?
is that built into the mainboard or a rom specific thing?
wondering so i know to be careful of what i flash, love my s-pen lol

The S-pen is Samsung software that only works on Touchwiz (Samsung based Roms also known as TW) framework, said framework has yet to be ported to AOSP and most likely will not be. It is very rare for TW framework to be ported in a way that works on AOSP Roms.
The S-pen will work on all Roms no matter what but the special features, like pushing the button to make a screenshot, will be there on TW Roms but not AOSP Roms. With Vanilla Rootbox you can make the floating dot show up on the screen when using the S-pen and the other Roms have some implementation of that. If you want to replace some of the features on AOSP Roms you should look into getting GMD Spen Control from the market, also Plasma kernel has new S-pen features built in. It still won't be exactly the same as running a TW ROM but is close enough for me.
All of the custom TW Roms will have full S-pen support just like the stock ROM and in some cases have a little bit extra.

So is flashing a rom done from the sdcard as normal or is it different in any way from a standard flash, new to twrp.
Yup. Just put it on your SD card and flash. Wipe everything but your external card before you flash. lots more to it but that's the cliffnotes version.

You don't have to and you typically don't want to wipe your internal SD memory to flash a rom. From TWRP recovery you should do a Factory rest (which wipes data but not internal SD memory, the cache and the Dalvik cache). After flashing you should wipe cache and Dalvik cache again but not wipe data. To do that go into the Advanced wipe area to only wipe those 2 and not data again.

I corrected my post that yes you also want to wipe data but only from recovery.
What you don't want to do is use a file manager and delete data that way from internal memory. Nor do you normally want to reformat any internal or external memory from recovery.

ok so quick once over, same as the rez, but i only need to do a factory reset and wipe system, caches and flash?
so i can keep internal storage intact no issue?
what about boot?

Well I use the second options in TWRP, I can't remember what it is now, under the wipe menu that you have to type yes for that formats the internal memory to get rid of all the BS. It doesn't hurt as long as you know what you are doing. And as long as you only delete old folders that are no longer in use everything will be fine.
TWRP doesn't have any dangerous wipe options at the current moment.

You can use it to update TWRP and download ROMs but I wouldn't flash my Roms from it, you can flash from it but I personally wouldn't. There is also a app named ROM Manager you can flash Roms from but there are a lot of issues when using ROM Manager.
I personally use the Goo Manger app to keep up with my Roms updates.
In TWRP after you click the Wipe button and go to the Wipe sub menu I always click advanced wipe and go in and wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik, and System and then I back out to the Wipe sub menu and click the right hand button, you'll have to type yes for it to work, and that gets rid of all the BS folders and crap so you can start completely fresh. You don't have to do that if you don't want to, I personally like my phone being completely clean when flashing a new ROM.
Yes you can keep internal and boot intact.
All you have to do to go to a new ROM when you boot into TWRP is click Wipe and then slide the little slider in the Wipe sub menu, I believe it says swipe for Factory Reset. That is all you have to do to Clean Flash a ROM.
Something else fun about TWRP is that you can theme it. Here is a TWRP theme collection on XDA:

If you use Titanium to back up apps (which you can do together) and their data before flashing you can restore the apps and data all at once after the flash without having to install each one by one from Google play store. Be sure not to restore system apps or data (no need to back them up either) because it may affect the new rom.
The good part of not reformatting your internal or external memory from TWRP is that your photos, music, etc.will remain after the flash. Even if you choose factory wipe or wipe data in TWRP.

I used titanium backup root to debloat a little, so I am kind of good for now, but made a nandroid of this rooted, debloated stock rom.
I think I found a twrp update with that goo.im app, but I am sure there are more than 4 roms to choose from, I have seen jedi which seemed like what I would want, stock decked out with features and the multi app does all apps, so I am kind of ready to do my first flash.
From what I get from what both or all of you have told me, swipe to factory reset, wipe system and internal, leave boot and others alone.
I wanted to set twrp to save to my sdcard, but didn't see an option to do so.
And thanks for all the input guys.

All you need to do before flashing is the one Factory reset wipe on the first screen of the Wipe area. Just as TWRP advises on that screen. After the flash most go back to the Wipe area then the Advanced area and wipe only cache and Dalvik cache. Your first reboot will take a minute or 2 so be patient.
To save backup to the external card go to the Backup area and at the bottom where it says where it will backup press on it and then you can change the location. It just looks like a label and doesn't look like a button but it is. I would just backup the default checked items. Even that will be 3-4 gigs.

You should also back up the EFS in your first nandroid just in case you ever lose your IMEI or any of that good stuff. Then store that backup in a safe secure space. You won't have to back up the EFS again after the initial backup as long as you always keep that backup safe.

Well Spen with work on all the Roms, the only issue is that it doesn't have all the software features on AOSP as it does on TW. It will have all the same features as stock as long as it is a Touchwiz, TW, ROM. Moon ROM, Jedi, CleanRom (both versions), Beans, MeanBean, Goodness, etc. And you can still add a lot of your stock Spen features back with GND Spen Control.

I recently rooted/unlocked my Verizon GN2 using Casual, and I am interested in trying my first ROM. I saw the announcement of Jelly Wiz Rom MJ9 4.3 TW (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564495), and it looks fairly interesting, so I'd like to give it a go. Before I jump in, I want to be sure I've got my process correct. Pulling in information from that thread and the [GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II! thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207), here's what I think I have to do:
Make sure I've got a good backup
Download the ROM to my internal SD card
Power device off, then hold the Volume up/home/power buttons until I get into TWRP)
Select wipe, then wipe cache. (If I get force close or other issues, boot back to TWRP and wipe data)
Select install, then choose the ROM
Reboot
At this point, I should have the ROM up and running. However, there will be some problem with the modem and WiFi, so I need to fix that by doing the following:
Grab the "Recovery Flashable Modem and WiFi Parameters" from http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760974850
Boot into TWRP
Select install, then choose the Flashable Model and WiFi Parameters zip file
Reboot
Is this all correct? Have I missed anything?
Everything seems to be in good order. You almost always want to perform a full factory reset/data wipe when going between different Roms. I know it's a pain to restore everything back to your liking but you'll regret not wiping 9/10 times. Also, consider keeping the .zips on an external SD Card just in case of accidental internal storage wipe.
Titanium Backup should be my friend, right?

Thanks for the tips.
I've done a backup of all my apps (system and user) using Titanium, and I can do another before doing my reset/wipe. In theory, I should be able to restore the apps I want to recover, after I'm all done installing the ROM and the patch, right? So it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
Or am I being naive?
Well all of your Google apps back themselves up to the cloud, so you're good there. In my experience, it's best to only restore Market Apps, games etc... apps that aren't already synced with your google account. But I've always had pretty good luck with Titanium. I pretty much only ever backed up game progress, far too many hours into angry birds to lose it to a wipe.

That makes sense. Sounds like the smart thing to do is to grab all the apps I actually use, give them time to re-sync, and then use Titanium to restore everyone else's data.
