Hi there. I am currently running Liquidsmooth Rom on my i9300 and I wanted to update it to the latest version 2.9. I had a look through and couldn't find a clear way on how to flash the update. If any experienced flashers could guide me to how I should go to update my rom it'll be much, much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

First of all you should always make a backup in case something goes wrong...usually only you should do is download the rom to your phone, reboot in to recovery, wipe cache, in advanced..wipe dalvik, then just go in install zip from sd card, find downloaded rom and install it, then reboot and everything should be fine
if it's not, factory reset
Backup first in recovery then flash in cwm..

You don't need to wipe before flashing a newer version of a rom I am general unless the dev says a wipe is needed. So no wipe for you

Hi sorry in advance if this kind of question comes up alot but imk looking to install a new rom onto my s3 how easy is it to do it? i already have a rom installed (darkys) is it a simple matter of finding a tutorial and just over wiping the curent rom with the new one? or do i have to go back to facotry settings and start from fresh?
Generally follow instructions on your chosen Rom thread

Most are just wipe cache and flash over existing rom .
But easy peasy problem solver is to have a current Nandroid backup to restore if needed .

I'm assuming you don't already have clockwork recovery on your phone? If not go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 and flash clockwork mod recovery with the update.zip in section B) in the guide. Once you have that taken care of you simply go pick a rom from the development section and follow the instructions which are usually factory data reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache from recovery menu then install zip from sd card. Some ROMs recommend flashing a gingerbread ROM before flashing an ICS or JB ROM. If you want a completely working phone I would recommend one of fishman or moped ryders 2.2 ROMS, ICS has the EU bug and bad gps, and JB is still in beta builds I believe. Just remember you can always upgrade by flashing with no problems but if you ever want to down grade you must Odin to stock 2.1 then go from there.

Look at my signature for a guide on how to install ICS ROMs. You'll need to look at it on your PC though and not the phone app.

I don't think he can see or SIG on xda premium, but anyway flash a froyo GB or ICS rom then flash the jellybean ROM.
Sent from my Jellied out Vibrant sandwich.
Check out the Hellybean nightlies Here and here and the Devil Kernel for ICS here and Jelly Bean here for the Galaxy S and variants.
Or you could use Odin to flash a gingerbread bootloader then flash jellybean right then.

Yes, if coming from a GB based rom you should wipe date/factory reset.
Is there any reason why you cant? All you need to do is backup apps/app data with Titanium Backup and then restore once you have fresh rom.

1. Yeah full wipe is recommended if you are downgrading or upgrading to another Android version.
2. If you don't do full wipe there are chances that your CM9 will not bee stable, freezes and lockups here and there

What about an ICS stock rom? that's the one I'm using right now . If I install the CM rom, and if I want to downgrade to the stock rom again, could I do that? Thank you for answering.

If you are moving from stock to Aosp Roms and vice versa, you have to do full wipe

Yes, you would just flash the stock ROM using Odin, and that would "unroot" your handset in the process.
If you try to switch from stock to a custom ROM, or between different custom ROMs without wiping your data, you can soft or hard-brick your handset. It's not worth the risk.
