I am trying to update RootBox room, currently in v2.5 to v2.7.
The information in here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806401) states this:
Coming from another Custom ROM:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset (This does not affect your Internal/External storage)
Format /System (This does not affect your Internal/External storage)
Flash ROM
Flash JB GAPPS
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot
However, if coming from the very same room, how should I proceed?
Just Flash the Rom directly?
Should I flash JB afterwards?
And... may I wipe caches?
Thank you!

Ok.
Updating from the same ROM with the same Android version (e.g Jellybean to Jellybean), the follow these steps
- boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- format /system (under mounts and storage)
- flash ROM
- flash Gapps
- reboot phone
Done.

Maybe I went to fast, but I did just this:
- Flash ROM.
- reboot
It worked, except for Gapps.
Then I rebooted to just install Gapps.
And..., it seems to work fine right now.
Would you recommend me to do the whole process described above?

Im currently using ver1.0 Pro but cannot seem to download any other versions after that.
I tried even Infinitum Project, i cant seem to get it pass the start screen.(meaning before the boot animation). Similar when flashing RR ver1.1 onwards
I think i cannot go anywhere after android 4.0.4. I am only able to flash back to v1.0 (Android 4.0.3).
what could be the problem? help?

oh sorry.
For the RR Pro 1.3
full wipe
installed rom
reboot.
Infinatium project,
Full wipe
installed rom
installed gapps
installed themed gapps
reboot.
I would usually just follow the instructions that are given.
sorry too I were configuring my cellphone, just flashed to the 1.3 and works fine...
sometimes my sd card give me problems and I remove from the device, maybe it's not your case...
and additional to the wipe, I wipe the dalvik cache, and then install the rom.
In the roms in wich I got troubles with the start screen or rebooting its because the baseband (LPQ in my case) and I'm serching foward about these thing...
sorry about my english, but its not my native languaje

Apart from asking the dev i suggest a full wipe and clean flash may cure the usual Kernel Panic .

when i installed v1.3, i would do a full wipe, (data, cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache)
but this time instead of pinic kernel, my phone wont even reach boot animation.

yeap it just clears the system data, then you can do a clean flash from there. that should do it
it just does not work for me. Still just cant get to the boot animation after flashing.

If you just relax for a minute , take a deep breath and start from the beginning. Listen to what people are telling you. Follow step by step from the beginning. Read what the developer says on flashing the rom and then it will work. Almost impossible not to get the rom working after that. It will all come together mate. Read a lot of posts. Good luck.

Hi,
I was using stock firmware up until yesterday I flashed to v5.2 successfully. Everything is working fine. But I just have a question, I remember that after the flash, and the phone rebooted and I connected to my wifi...the phone automatically started to download and install all the 4 apps that i had personnally installed on the stock firmware all by itself ..
I'm asking because I see that there a v6.0 available and would like to flash that. But before I flash, do I need to do the following wipes?
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
If so, do I need to do this for between EVERY Omega flashes to ensure it goes smoothly? Thanks

You should only have to wipe cache and dalvik then flash the ROM. You'll be fine, I also always format cache and system in the mount and storage part of Cwm recovery BEFORE flashing the ROM, never had an issue.

Is that considered a FULL wipe?

No, full wipe is when you delete all user data as well.

Ok I found the definitions of what a full wipe and no wipe is:
Full Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Data / Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Format System partition
- Install
No Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Install
Just a question, in the FULL WIPE listed above, where would I find "Format System Partition?" I don't recall seeing that..which category do I enter to do it?
CWM recovery mounts and storage format system .

Thanks, is there any harm if I do a full wipe EverytimeI upgrade an Omega ROM? I just want to stick to one way of things to minimize any issues.
Hi,
I'm currently using the RR ICS v2.6 on my phone with a Iron Man lockscreen MOD.
After I flashed the new RR ICS v2.7 ROM, my phone can't boot up. It just stays at the screen with the Sieya kernal logo.
I flashed the ROM two time. First time I didn't wipe data/ factory reset. Second time I followed exactly what the instruction said. But both of them failed.
I had to flash back to a Stock ROM in order for my phone to boot up.
Anyone can help? I can't reply directly to the thread in the android development because I'm a new user.
Think this should be in Q&A section, however did your do full wipe. also try formatting system ect from mounts and storages in recovery. I'm no expert just helping

hi, thanks for your reply, but i want to make sure what the exact issue it is before i flash it again. I was so scared when my phone cant boot up as i thought that i bricked my phone.
If you don't mind, can you help me link this thread to the RR thread in the Galaxy s II android development?
Still no one can help?
It seems to me that most of the people that successfully flashed v2.7 are from v2.6.1. So, I'm thinking of updating my v2.6 to v2.6.1 then flash the v2.7. However, I can't find any download link for v2.6.1.
NVM, I found the download link for 2.6.1
It is actually in the RR thread but I just didn't recognize the links under "google drive" or "dropbox" or others are download links before.
yah I updated my sgs2 to rr 2.7 rom now.
Here's what I did:
-I first have v2.6 installed on my phone
-go into recovery mode
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-NOTE: I didn't Wipe data / factory reset
-flash v2.6.1 from SD card
-go back to recovery mode after aroma installation
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-reboot and I now have v2.6.1 installed
-go into recovery mode
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-NOTE: I didn't Wipe data / factory reset
-flash v2.7 from SD card
-go back to recovery mode after aroma installation
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-reboot and I now have v2.7 installed
I'm now thinking about changing my kernel from siyah to dorimanx. Can anyone give me some pros and cons about these two kernels?
I am paranoid of bricking... I am going from Neutrino GT ROM to Nottachtrix ROM.
What steps should I follow? Do this look complete?
- Reboot to recovery
- Wipe data
- Wipe cache
- In recovery chose "install zip from SDCard"
- Chose the NottachTrix ROM file
Thanks!!!

If you still want to have all your apps and don't mind if it doesn't work as it's supposed to, you could try a dirty install and only wipe cache and dalvik, not a complete factory reset. This usually works if you stay on the same android version (or upgrade) but does not if you go from blur to cm or vice versa.
But again, a clean install is always better (but we are lazy, aren't we) and there is no guarantee that everything will work
Edit: oh Jesus Nottach is blur, yeah then forget about the dirty install xD...
This is what I did:
(Coming from miui based on 4.1.2)
1. Wipe
2. System wipe
3. Flash slim bean
4. Flash gapps
5. Boots normally
6. Reboots
7. Phone won't boot anymore
What an I doing wrong?
