Hello Everyone.
I got a n00b question and sorry for my lack of knowledge in the first place, well then :
I got a S3 GT-19300 with android 4.0.4 and firmware 19300XXLFB. (already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom and kernel)
So, I want to install a new rom based on 4.1.1 JB and I9300XXDLJ4 firmware. My questions are: It is posible to install it with a rom manager? Can you update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 doing that?
Thanks in advance.
you don't need an app for it if that's what you're asking.
you can do it all in recovery. the only thing you can't do is to rename the backup when you're there. (you can do it later.)
just don't forget to wipe before you flash a different version jump.
tnx man i'll try it
np.
just go into recovery with your preferred method (you can use CWM to do it or you can shut it off and use the button combo to start it into recovery. both will take you to the same exact place. then all you have to do is to go in and backup, wipe, flash, restart)

Dear all,
I know there are multiple threads running for the same, but still i was not able to understand most of the way. Am having SII which is running on Android 4.0.4, I want to root my phone so that i can install Jelly Bean Rom available in the forum.
last i have rooted Galaxy Spica 5700, but it required flashing device with Odin and instillation of a new kernel. But it seems like many new things have came up. Can someone please post me Point by point procedure of rooting my device with ClockworkMod recovery.
Plenty of threads that answer this question in detail. No need for people to duplicate topics or answers.

If you know how to flash kernels via odin its simple. Just download siyah kernel for i9100 , install the drivers required fr odin , flash the kernel in download mode. It will give you rot access and CWM recovery. Then yo can boot into recovery,wipe data/cache and install any rom you want. But do not wipe anything n stock recovery since you are on 4.0.4 (which has the brick bug)
you can also root by stock recovery just by flashing a single .zip file. But if you know the way to do it by odin i suggest the odin mehtod.
and to flash JB....MobileOdin Pro.......so you'll forget about rooting with the EverRoot option........................beware of the wipes with 4.0.4 tho, that crap is nasty.
hi,
I have a Galaxy S2 which I rooted very early on without flashing a custom recovery. At that time one just had to flash one specific thing via Odin and it was done.
So the thing is still running Gingerbread. Now I finally want to get a nice custom ROM on it. But I want to make sure that the current CWM recovery is still "compatible" to my old 2.3.3 Android (2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1 kernel) - like, can I install the current CWM regardless of the fact that my Android is very old?
(I faintly remember having seen something about a CWM for ICS and another one for Jellybean, which is why I'm asking.)
Search the general i9100 forum on how to flash a custom ROM.
Start at the "guide index" thread and work your way from there.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thank you for the hint, however, I already studied how to flash a custom ROM in the CM10.1 thread and how to install CWM from the CWM thread.
My specific question was different:
This is the CWM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
In here they offer a version to download for JB (6.0.2.7) and a version for ICS (5.5.0.4). To me, this implies that I can't just install any CWM version with my Gingerbread. Is this true, and what version do I have to install, then?
Flash the latest stock rom with Odin. After that flash the recovery for JB. Then you should be fine.
EDIT: [SOLVED] - For anyone following in my footsteps, ROM Manager is useless when flashing between android versions. You need to perform a wipe first so back up apps, SMS and internal SD card files. These threads were most helpful:

Hi there,
A year ago I rooted and flashed my phone to Omega 9.xx from stock. Unfortunately, I haven't paid attention to anything since and have only just realised I'm still running 4.04 and a really outdated custom ROM.
So my question is how do I update to Jellybean 4.12/4.22?
I tried flashing to Cyanogenmod using ROM Manager/CWM Touch recovery yesterday to no avail. I got as far as the boot screen where it would stick so I had to restore my nandroid back up.
Is this due to compatibility with my outdated Android version? Do I need to update it before flashing a new custom ROM? I was under the impression flashing the new ROM would auto-update android from 4.04-4.14 - am I mistaken? Details in my signature and my provider is vodafone UK.
Thanks in advance for you help - it's much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I read the entire first post but am still having a little trouble understanding where to go from here.
Do I need to flash my stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM? This part of your guide suggests I do not:
However, if you immediately plan on flashing a ROM, there's no need to root your existing ROM. Simply skip straight to installing a recovery. Backup then flash what you like.

So perhaps I just need to flash a custom ROM using CWM. But I tried this and it didn't work. I have searched a multitude of forums (spent 8+ hours) but to no avail. Nothing specifically references how to update from an old android version/custom ROM.
I have backed up my apps and system data with Titanium backup, got a nandroid backup, installed ROM Manager and Mobile Odin Lite (with the kernel add on) and tried flashing cyanogenmod9 using CWM but it failed - if you could just drop me a line pointing me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Kind regards,
Kelevra
I am a real noob on using android. Digged the xda forum but still do not exactly understand which ROM I should use for 8005. A friend have given a custom ROM based on 4.1.2, but that 8005 haven't been touched for a long time. I clicked the factory settings and resetted.
Now please help this noob:
1) What is the newest custom ROM that I should download and where?
2) After installing that ROM, which URL should I look for rooting?
Thanks in advance.

The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......
