I really dont see a point in doing so if you plan to upgrade to ICS.
If you're experiencing problems, you should do it all once again, flash .42 or .58, root it, upgrade it to ICS, install CWM and back it up (nandroid backup), with all the bloatware and everything... just in case... afterwards, start modding, delete bloatware and do whatever you want. In case you screw something up, you can always return to stock rooted ICS (that you backed up) and try again
When i installed ICS i flashed .42 and then i upgraded to ICS... so not even .58 and certainly not .62; it seemed a bit cleaner not to upgrade to higher GB version before upgrading to ICS, since if i wanted to keep root on ICS, i wouldnt be able to erase user data.
Reinstall ROM.

You can reinstall ROM. Mount USB on CWM and copy your ROM.zip; Make a Full Wipe. Farctory Reset, Wipe partition cache, and Wipe Cache Dalvik. Next Install your ROM.

Yes. Some also recommend you back up your sdcard and erase it before flashing new rom.

Hey
I was on GingerReal1.4, and wanted to try out overclocking on CM7. Made a backup on CWM and then installed CM7, tried, happy and decided to go back.
Now when I try to restore the backup, most of my apps arent being detected and the launcher is back to touchwiz and I can't seem to find superuser also. I assumed this maybe because sd-ext is not being detected. So I tried installing a2sd-gui from my titanium backup, that seems to work and isn't showing me any problem. I also tried reinstalling the kernel, didn't work.
And Ive tried restoring about 5 times till now, same result.
Am I doing something wrong?? Any help would be rly rly awesome...
Thanks

Thanks a lot guys
Then logically the problem is in that backup.
yea, that's what I'm thinking, though I did not get any errors while doing the backup.
I read about someone else having a similar issue a long tym back in the galaxy s forum, and i dont see any suggestions or solutions there.
Anyway, given up for now, will take care of it some other tym...
Backing up all i got and switching to CM now.
Do let me know if something pop's up and you remember this issue of mine.
Thanks again
No.. The backup is not the problem. I have read somewhere that the problem lies with the bootloader.
When you upgrade to CM 7, it uses the 2.3.7 bootloader. And now you are trying to restore a backup associated with a 2.3.4 bootloader. The restore does not contain the bootloader. Thus you may experience a bootloop.
The only get around is to flash via odin.
Hit thanks if i helped.

The restore does restore boot .
It erases boot before restore and will restore .

What do you mean when you say you cant root anymore because you have CWM? Rooting and CWM are on separate tracks in this case, CWM does not stop you from rooting your phone. Are you saying you dont want to root?
Also, rooting is very simple, just change your kernel to cf-root(to be flashed via CWM, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158197 ) and you get added advantages like ext4, BLN, a2sd support etc.
PS: Read all you can before doing anything
hi guys,
i've tried looking for a solution, but have not found one.
After rooting, installing roms, themes etc, i have come to the conclusion, that my rooted s2 has become corrupt i.e. (either kernel or rom). The reason i know is that i have a fault with CWM and that is it won't detect sd cards. I have now tried 3 different microsd cards and none can be mounted, even though it shows "sd card mounted". Yet when i try to install a .zip file, nothing is found.
Rather than wasting time trying to figure out what the problem is, i'd like to restart ALL OVER again. That means actually getting the phone un-rooted, back to stock and then re-root and install custom roms again.
My question is how do i restart all over again?
If you can, boot into download mode and flash stock firmware with Odin.

thanks aiancalandorn, but that will NOT wipe the phone...i need total wipe...how do i go about doing that?
stock firmware is wipe version only.....it will wipe all data.
could u pls explain rohit how i do that? what software/method?
Sounds more likely that you're using CWM recovery incorrectly.

thanks for ur advice guys. For now, i have managed to setup checkrom+dk with ics 1.6 theme. i stopped using the phone last night approx 12 midnight - 100% fully charged. I've woken up and checked it at 10:45am....battery shows 99%, so thats hardly anything.
The only issue i have noticed with checkrom/dk is that there is a lag when pressing buttons or scrolling through applications...what do you guys recommend to fix this without putting a big drain on the battery?
Maybe there is already an answer to this, have been searching for a while.
And my phone has been off for 4-5 months but i wanna try again.
Its softbrick, boot loops but i have cwm 5.0.2.3 that i installed after that happend.
The thing is that i dont wanna lose my data so im wondering if its possible to update the firmware without loosing data?
and where can i get the 4.0 ics or atleast earlier versionens as a file to download then put in the memorycard ?
regards
edit: is there a way to backup everything atleast with cwm? i know there is backup and restore but i think that didnt backuped everything last time a tried.
Check out any of the custom rom threads, or if you want stock, check out intratech's thread, flash it and your bootloop will be gone. Good luck.
Edit: No, there's only the backup/restore option.

That backup will not do..
Next time while switching ROMs, don't forget to take backups of your apps through titanium backup! It's the most useful app!
extracting apps from nandroid backups is not advisable..when you switch roms.. so make app+data backups before switching roms.. and titanium backup is the best,as said above..
1)do cwm backup of current 4.0.4
2)in recovery use advance restore option to restore data.
3)make backup of apps with titanium backup
4)restore 404 backup(from step 1) and restore backup of apps from titanium backup(from step 3)

flash the 562 firmware with flashtool and then root (with doomlords rootkit for ICS 4.0.3 Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038) and then over the Air
you have then rooted 4.0.4

I will never understand why you advise people to do OTA update, when they can do clean flash, have clean phone, minimal chance of problems, and still able to root. I understand about .62, but now we don't have to mess with OTA's.

Erm, you can root it without unlocking BL.
I'm not blaming anyone, just asking. Its up to personal opinion, I just don't like OTA's

I'm fairly confident i am able to root my device, and follow every tutorial, however i'm stuck with these qeustions...
if i install CF-root first... without cwm and later, install the package that has CF-root + cwm combined.. will this conflict with the earlier installed cf-root without cwm?..
***update****
when 4.1 hits, i can update trough kies?.. or do i have to unroot for that, and remove cwm?.. how does this exactly work... ive read other places.. it wont do ota's now..
Also, what would happen if i mistakingly did the re-partition thing?..
CF-Root (for the SGS3, anyway - can't comment on other phones) always comes with CWM as it's CWM that actually installs SuperSU etc. on the phone

As your device is already rooted, I would suggest that, there are a few ROMs available on XDA that supports the OTA. you can install them to have OTA available. as in your phone currently OTA will not support because you have just rooted the phone, there are some changes to be done in the system after rooting the phone so that it will support OTA.
Long story short,,,
Install the ROM with OTA support. done... happy flashing...
No you can't get official OTA's now, but you can still download and flash official stock jellybean firmwares and flash them to your phone. Chances are they'll be on xda before you ever get an OTA anyway.
As for repartition in Odin, that will repartition your internal storage and wipe your data and may corrupt your filesystem which -may- be irreversible. Stay away unless told otherwise, some situations call for that to be used but only in emergencies and following strict instructions.
As for the guy above that is talking about OTA's, he is getting confused between official OTA's and custom ROM OTA's.
Some custom ROMs support OTA updating, but it will be a custom ROM.
