Hi I have installed Cyanogenmod 10 custom rom some time ago, but now I want to update to official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Will it be enough to format everything in CWM and just flash the stock 4.1.2 through Odin?
Yes. Go ahead.
So a factory reset and formatting the system will be enough?

Quick question, what is the correct and easiest way to clear the Dalvik cache on stock? I updated to ICS from GB and want to clean the Dalvik.
Thanks.

Just flash one of Chainfires CF-Root kernels through ODIN and boot into clockwork recovery then run the Clear Dalvik option. Job done.
But of course you no longer have stock as you have changed the kernel .
Update would have wiped it anyway .

JJ is correct, if it was an official update through kies then don't worry about it. I would only bother about Dalvik if you start to get flash happy with custom ROMS.
cheers guys, i guess if it wiped during the flash then no worries
Hi folks,
Bit of a rookie question that's always been a mystery to me on Samsung phones.
When you install a completely fresh stock rom via Odin, does it wipe the cache partitions also? Like a total clean wipe.
Usually I would just go into CWM and do it from there but i''ve been keeping it all stock until the final version of Jellybean comes out.

Yes stock Odin flash is really the same as a wipe or format .

I used CF auto root and then installed CWM 6.0.2.7 to install the CM10.1 rom. I copied gapps and cm10.1 on my external sd card but when I tried to install it I got an error, and now my phone is stuck on boot.
Please Help!!!

I did a wipe data/factory reset from CWM but it didn't work
I guess reflash the old rom
Did you format data and system before flashing?

Did you bother to search on forum first? There has been various topics/comments on this problem and how to solve it.
Just flash custom kernel like Siyah v6 beta4 then go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

Samsung Korea posted Jelly Bean upgrade details about the Samsung Galaxy SII. The Jelly Bean update by Samsung will reduce internal memory from 12GB to 11GB and the reduced 1GB memory part will be used for system partition, as it will also re-partition the memory system, so this upgrade will take at least 1 hour. This upgrade will only be available through Samsung KIES.

my SGSII is from korea..maybe listed above is the reason......
I installed 4.1.2 on my s2 gt i9100 no brand but will not start, crashes on startup with the samsung logo. Why?
I now have the phone down, I think I have to replace the 4.0.3
this is the tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Did you use CWM recovery wipe? Maybe it's emmc brick bug?
It can't be a brick as it is turning on
And it's flashable with Odin, not CWM.

CWM doesn't have the emmc bug, Its a bug in the stock 4.0.4 recovery.

This is most likely because you have just flashed 4.1.2 without wiping old rom data. Its advised on just about every single rom thread to wipe before flash. If you dont want to lose apps/appdata then use Titanium Backup Pro.

you have made a backup of the app + system data with titanium. also save photos, music and video
I did not think to flash a firmware I had to clean everything, I thought it was enough to download the file, put the phone in download mode with odin and startare
now how do I proceed? I wipe the 3 as I did for the rom?

1) Put ur phone into dwnld mode and flash a stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware using ODIN to make ur phone up and running.
2) after that root ur phone by flashing the tar file of Siyah kernel v5.0.1 vide ODIN.
3) then reboot to siyah kernel recovery and wipe Data/factory reset and the wipe cache partition.
4)Dwnld the stock JB firmware from that link u provided and flash the same using ODIN
that way u will have a clean install of stock JB on ur phone
but if by dalal recovery without installing the 4.0.3 and do the wipe, and then install the 4.1.2 is not good?

u can give it a try that way and post ur Success/Failure feed back over here

He has no need to do what you said and install rom twice. All he needs to do is flash kernel like Siyah v6 beta4, reboot into download mode, wipe data and then flash his stock rom via download. No need to install 4.0.3 first its just waste of time.
and where can I download the file of Siyah kernel v5.0.1?you say the kernel?
I installed the 4.1.2 doing the wipe, and everything went ok.
so every time I install a new firmware should I do the wipe right?
and then I do not have siyah kernel but everything went well from recovery

Good:good:
Yes, its always better to do the wipes first for a clean install, as u can see in ur case itself
Enjoy the rom for now and no need to worry about siyah kernel for now
ok
however, once I had siyah then I removed
thank you very much for your help, I did not know I had to do so for the firmware
thank you very much
