Hello XDA!
I am here to show you how to, go from Gingerbread (2.3.x) to Jellybean (4.x.x). Or from Jellybean to Gingerbread.
Okay, let's begin
Going from Gingerbread to Jellybean
Requierments
*An X10 Mini what is running nAa's GB kernel and a GB ROM.
*Flashtool
*Courage
1.Put a JB ROM on your SD Card that run with the nAa JB kernel.
2.You have to go to recovery (in kernel) by,
-Turning your phone off.
-Then pressing the back button while turning the phone on.
3.You have to do a big wipe, here are the things you need to do in recovery,
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced > wipe dalvik cache
-mounts and storage > format /system, format /sd-ext
-turn off
4.You have to download the nAa JB kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136471). And place it in the Flashtool/firmwares folder.
-Open Flashtool
-Press on the thunderbolt and select the 2.6.32.60-nAa-jb-05 kernel and then OK
-Now that your phone is off, hold the back button and connect the USB to the phone and wait for the phone to go to flashmode (green LED will appear). If the green LED appears, let go off the back button. It will flash the kernel, if it says disconnect the phone and disconnect it and turn it on. You will go automaticly to recovery.
5.You have to flash the custom JB ROM. To do so.
-Install .zip from SD Card
-And choose the custom ROM and select it and flash it
-After it is done let it reboot for a while, it takes about 2-5 minutes depending of the ROM.
Going from Jellybean to Gingerbread
1. Download a Gingerbread ROM and place it on SD Card.
2. Go into recovery and,
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced>wipe dalvik cache
-mounts and storage>format /system, format /sd-ext
-and leave the phone still and recovery for later, don't reboot or something, just leave it like it is.
3. Download the nAa GB kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739) and place it in Flashtool/firmwares folder.
4. Flash the GB kernel
-open Flashtool
-select the thunderbolt and select the GB kernel and press OK
(Now comes the really hard part!)
-now from earlier you did all the wipes in recovery, your phone is still in recovery, you have to press the home button and power button at the same time, the phone will do a force reboot, before the phone can boot connect the USB and hold on back button to go into flashmode, if you can't, try again until you can get to flashmode.
5. Flash the GB ROM,
-install .zip from SD Card, then select ROM and then select yes.
-reboot
If you have some problems, just PM me, I will be happy to help.

How do you get to omfgb on ed01 I tried flashing cwr it only comes up once then wont come up again. Then im curius, will I lose all my apps and stuffw
It only comes up once because your stock kernel overwrites recovery after a reboot. To get it to stick, you have to flash a different kernel when it boots into cwm that first time. I'd suggest reading a lot more of the stickies, as well. Good luck!
Best bet is to read the related posts but since i am a nice guy!
1)Pop Battery and put into download mode and Odin CWM4 for CM7
cwm4-http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1190668
look for the "attached files" at the bottom of the first post
2)when odin is finished put the battery back in and hold down both volume rockers and the power...Dont let go until you see "Samsung"
3)Wipe files\factory restore, wipe cache, and in advanced wipe Dalvik cahce
4) flash the GB rom from SD card
GB- I assume you know which thread to get the rom at!!!
5)When the flash is done reboot phone from the CWM menu.
6) let it boot fully to the rom
If "Gapps" or Google Apps is not included
7) use the shut down menu to reboot into recovery
8) Wipe files\factory restore, wipe cache, and in advanced wipe Dalvik cahce
9)Flash Gapps for GB
Gapps-http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1191063
10)When the flash is done reboot phone from the CWM menu
11) Enjoy a GB Fascinate

Where to start.. In CWM after save villain on SD, just flash update.zip?
Coming from Another ROM
Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.
Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.
Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.

1. download and copy the villian zip file to your sd card after making a back up of your data.
2. go into cwm- boot into recovery, clean cache. Stay in recovery mode.
3. go advanced and clean dalvik cache. Stay in recovery mode
4 select install zip file.
5. choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the zip file you have download.
6. select and agree to install.
7. let it install, scroll back up to reboot system.
8. rom will install it may take up to 5 minutes for the first install.
You can scrool up down in recovery mode by using the volume keys. power button or homke button selects depending on what version of cwm you have.
back button returns you back on screen.

Thanks.. simple and detailed, thats what a noob (like me) need
update: Instaled Villain 3.0 + Sk0pdr0id 1.6
Hi...
I am from Portugal and i have my Optimus One in 2.3.3 stock, already rooted.
I am thinking in try the GTR v3x and some CM. (These roms are made for the new baseband?)
I want to someone correct me if these are not the right way of doing the process of flashing...
have a rooted device
instal rom manager
instal clockworkmod via rom manager.
copy .rar to the sd (root?)
turn off
Home + Vol Down + Power
wipe what the developer say and the flash it.
Also, i want to know if the process of flashing unlock the phone (SIM Locked)?
Sorry for opening the threat and thanks in advance
Hi,
Your process is correct, however I would do it a bit differently to be honest.
Yes, I would install clockwork mod through ROM Manager. And boot it up using home + vol dwn + power.
To navigate, use the menu button to move down, and home button to move up in CWM. The back button is for back and search button for select.
To prepare installing a rom, I would do these in order:
Code:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Format /system/ by going into 'mounts and storage'
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Battery stats under 'Advanced'
Also, the rom should be a zip file, not a rar. I'm sure you meant zip in your post.
To flash the rom after wiping those stuff above^, just select 'Install zip from sd' from the main menu, and select the first option to select the zip file from your sd, and then find your rom.zip file and flash.
Then you're done. You can flash kernels and other stuff through this method too, just don't erase anything unless you're installing a new rom, as there's no need to.
Also make sure you have the right baseband for the rom

Thanks a lot:
i am trying to charge the battery with external source & insert...
i know that the performance of my phone was better with Android Gingerbread 2.3.7 mods - so wanted to go back...
i am not at all trying to hold any one responsible, i find it fun...
presently i want to end this by installing the one which was stable & fast for me.....
i have read the FAQ
any extreme suggestion too is welcome....:highfive:
Thanks to all Senior members & nAa
1. Install nAa 14 kernel with flashtool
2. Reboot the phone end immediately enter CWM
3. From Mounts and Storage menu, format /cache, /data and /system (you need to do that because the partition sizes are different between jb and gb)
4. From the advanced menu wipe dalvik cache
5. Do a wipe data/factory reset from the main menu
6. Reboot system and enter again CWM
7. Install the gb rom you like
it works

Thanks to B-Paul nAa & DarkDog & other contributors....
Thanks, but my problem seems to be in the micro USB port of the phone too. I have a doubt whether it can be replaced. Although it detects the cable but not most of the time. So I am using a external battery charger for time being.
The boot loader does not point to charging always even when its shutdown properly & plugged to charge, instead it goes to the CWM recovery. The last instruction is not registered well/properly instead it always tends to boot the OS or go to CWM Recovery....
I did not flash the 7.2.2 since I started to feel that the new Kernel from nAa jb.2 has improved the performance of memory handling a little & the home does not crash like the 7.2.0.
I have a very bad experience with the camera & video recording performance as mostly a noise band appears on the screen & photo comes black & video too comes same.... I think the driver for photo & video needs some more improvement...
Some apps gets into the phone memory for security or their code itself.........
Going to try some other ROM just for fun.......:laugh:
If we can make those /system & /data etc. virtual and we can add space from memory, performance could be improved
Looking forward for great ROMS in Windows8 style on X10 mini pro.

Here it is
This method has worked for me numerous of times after coming back from another ROM, or when I just miss using Slimbean....
IF your in stock, and want a clean memory on phone You may use this code to reformat the SDCard *2767*3855# (type on dialer) will delete everything)
phone memory=internal memory
put update.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/update.zip/download
on your phone memory.
Download slimbean vibrant 4.2.2 ROM ONLY and put it on your phone memory ***no need to download gapps for 4.2.2 if your not going to use the rom***
put slimbean 4.3.1. official 2.2. on phone memory
put gapps 4.3 also in phone memory if your going to be using gapps...
alright,
1.
Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...
Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.
If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.
This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.
2.
In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
3.
It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.
You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).
4. install 4.2.2
during this installation your boot will random boot. If stuck on vibrant logo, remove battery and go to recovery mode. This means Semaphone kernel was installed. semaphore recovery should come up
5. factory wipe/ system clear/ etc, ***wipe how you would wipe everything to go get a clean flash***
6. install slimbean 4.3.1
*Optional, then install gapps 4.3 ***if you dont install gapps you wont have google playstore unless you use apk***
7. wipe cache & dalvik cache
reboot
load time 3-6 mins, let it breath....
Hit thanks if it worked for you
thanks all sloved problem
