Hi guys,
quick question - I'm currently running real ICS 5.2, want to upgrade to 6 - can I just boot into CWM and install the rom following the installation instructions or do I have to flash it back to stock rom first?
No need flash stock rom.

Quick follow-up question: Updating PACman Rom, can I just update it without wiping anything? (which would be nice! )

While you can boot and use the rom without wiping, some users found that a couple bugs appeared, and then after a factory reset they got it working. So I guess it won't hurt to try, right?
Updating from what to pacman? If it's another rom you need to do full wipe and format /system
No, just updating from pacman alpha 11 r2 to alpha 12. I think I will try later on after doing a backup and then see if everything works well.

Hi , I was running the viper rom and i did a system restore from the backup i made early a few months ago. When i booted back in to the stock rom i cant get any signal from my carrier or wifi. What do i need to do?
Did the restored ROM was working flawlessly few months back?
You should simply restore your latest known working ROM then download a fresh new version of your intend ROM and start from scratch. Don't forget to flash the correspondent boot.img file before the first reboot.

Hi thanks for your reply, Yes the previous rom was the stock rom and it worked perfect. I just restored the rom from the bootloader
Ant78 - have you got a boot.img that allows rooting of the stock rom?

Hi, I have updated and rooted my phone a while ago so I have forgotten a few things... I have CyanogenMod 9.1.0 and android version is 4.0.4... And now I came here and saw that there is android 4.2 and CM 10.1.... But I didn't found any information for updating between those two, there is only for coming from stock firmware. Can I just download 10.1 and install it from Clockwork mod or should I first update to 4.2 and how to do it?
Wipe data/factory reset after flashing the kernel for the new version and install the rom in cwm. All your data will be lost, but your phone should boot
Btw please ask questions in the Q&A forum

Sorry for the wrong forum...
And tnx for the reply... So no need to update to 4.2 manually, just kernel for rom and then rom?? Will it be like that for any onther custom rom?

Yes it's the same for all custom roms. Flash the kernel, boot in cwm and do the wipes, then flash the rom
Btw you could read my guide on how to install a custom rom/kernel to get more information. The link is in the "Roll up sticky thread" in the stickies in general forum :good:

this is the manual way (automatic is SEUS ).. but to ur question yes, it so:
before installing rom, check which kernel needed for this (or if its inside zip, to flash BEFORE install; via fastboot..)
if u switch between stock ics & cm builds OR between cm9 and cm10(.1) FULL WIPE IS recommended!!
if u do only a upgrade like install newest version of smae rom on ur phone u can WIPE NOTHING! (only if u get problem )
yes 1st kernel (recovery (CWM) built in) then ROM ; maybe some addons/gapps (google apps), dun
peace
Hi,
I've got a noob question , i hope someone would be able to help me.
I installed Enigma ROM 4.4 On my XP and now i want to upgrade it to v5.
in 4.x ROMs i only had to reflash the new version over the previous one, i don't know about this one, since it's a major update (v4 to v5),
do i have to reflash the stock ROM and then flashing the custom OR can i just reset everything and reflash the 5 version over this 4.4 .
and if i do this, does it have disadvantages? ( Lags. Slow ROM and etc. )
Thanks in advance,

Just reflash the v5 and wipe only dalvik-cache and cache. If that's not OK, then reflash stock firmware.

Currently I have Legacy Xperia 10.1 installed on my Sk17i (Mini Pro) device. As per instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545367 it seems like we should first flash to stock then try flashing 11.0.
Is that really necessary or I can directly upgrade from 10.1?
--Edit--
Requirements:
* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)

This is the line the linked post, which I think seems to indicate that we first need to flash with stock then 11.0.
Yes it is important, but remember to exclude kernel when flashing to,stock

If you ever flashed stock ICS rom, and later moved on to cm10, cm10.1 you don't have to reinstall stock ICS. You can install new cm11 kernel (via fastboot). Do the formatting as indicated and then flash cm11 rom.
IF HOWEVER you never flashed stock ICS you need first to flash it.
I hope this is clear. I upgraded this way and cm11 works like a charm.

Thanks, I already did that. I had once before flashed to 10.1. So, now I directly flashed to 11.0.
Flashing stock is required only for having the latest baseband. You can just download the baseband from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707269 (Go with the latest one, i.e. , 77) an then flash but if you already have the latest one no need Also baseband is just 10-11 MB
Happy flashing
