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.

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.
Hello i was thinking about flashing Alliance rom 6.1 and just wanted to ask if it would work for Jelly bean 4.1.2 for SG2 Gt-i9100
and one more question will it erase all the data on my device ? And i dont know how to flash it, i have CWM will it be possible with that and i think i have a stock rom.Sorry i am new to android so please help me out.
Thanks !!
Are you rooted?
If yes, which method was used?
Yes Allaince will work
If you flash it, it's not going to wipe data YOU are. since you ALWAYS have to wipe data/cache before flashing a custom ROM.

You wanna flash aliance ROM over JB or dual boot?
To flash any custom ROM, yeah, you need to wipe data.
But you really need to do some reading before you attempt any ot his.
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

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

First...to which ROM is the best...depends on you're style and device. All devices aren't equal...even when they are the same variant.But I like the 4.3 ROMs.Look at my SIG to see which one I'm running today...Lol.
Now..on to you're rooting. You most definitely need to update to 4.0.4 ICS..I have a guide after you're on that version so you can root and stay stock or flash a custom ROM.But you need the ICS boot loader to flash almost all of the new jelly bean ROMs, if not all of them.I believe when you do the official update from kies it will install that boot loader.( never had to as my device was on 4.0.4 unrooted ).
Back up you're tab to you're PC before you go updating..The update might wipe sdcard, not sure. And in case the update goes side ways on ya.
Let me know if you need any help.

Getting to the safe side , the best is using traditional flashing to ICS then to JB.
I am currently rooted for HC.The ordering , I need to flash it to samsung ICS first ? which mean , I need to unroot my device ?
Or I can just flash to custom roms ICS ?
Currently , stuck at this point.Which is the correct procedure ?
Flash stock ICS first using Odin first. Then you can flash to any version you want.

No. Just flash it with Odin. Don't use that ROM. That is a modified version. Download the stock ROMs at www.sammobile.com.

small tutorial. Look what you have to do!
download your stock firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-stock-rom-links-t2842399
Use only this 2 tools to flash: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_B98oK4DpK1S1l2bXRkTGxhVFk&usp=sharing
If you use other tools you can corrupt your NVRAM and loose IMEI.
After flash you need to install TWRP. Here is the small tutorial and tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
After TWRP install, you can install any zip file firmware. Here is what i reccommend: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bw-fSKX78W43R0xHSXVMajNucFE&usp=sharing
MIUI 6.1.21 is the file you should install. ROW version.
Good Luck.
