Im currently using the pacman ROM 22.2.0, not sure whether its official or not but I think I took it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253673&highlight=pac+man
and now I saw a new and official one and Ive decided to change my current ROM to this one, which is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400382&highlight=pac+man
Right now, Im confused whether I should update my ROM as usual (don't have to wipe my data) or should I install it as a new different ROM (requires wiping of data) since the previous one isn't official or something. "not so sure about it"
:S Help me please, sorry for my bad English..
Thanks in advance.

SInce you're trying to update from JB 4.2.2 to 4.3, its better to do a full wipe before flashing the update. You can minimize any bugs or issues that way! :good:

Hey i want upgrade from my GB rom to ICS, but whenever i try to Flash an ICS ROM after a full clean wipe, i get alot of crashes! so i revert back to GB! is there something iam missing here? do i need to take an extra precaution before installing the ICS rom?
Mate, its still in alpha stage, not even beta. It's being careless on your behalf for not using search function. You would have known this. Come back April for a stable ICS release.

Probably forgot to wipe. It's the no.1 source of FCs after installing a rOM.

Hundreds of people have shifted to ICS, and you can see developers claiming their ROM's to be stable! thats why i chose to make a move towards ICS when the developers have released about 8 iterations of their original ROM!

Trust me, i factory wipe it twice before flashing a new ROM, that cant be an issue! and if you read the OP, my mobile is crashing, iam not getting any FC's but instead, the mobile gets stuck!
I have had my mobile turning itself off very often since I started "testing" ICS roms. I now have Westcrips 8.4 which is supposed to be one of the best ones and it turned itself off today
I think it might be because it's so cold here ATM (-24c)
I am using ics one month ago and i dont have so much force closes. Currently i use resurrection 8.4 and not bad. My advise is to wipe first data. After cache and after dalvic. Then install room and then it should work. Remeber this rooms are for modwl gt-i9100
You should factory wipe AFTER installing the new rom dude.

GingerBread.
For many "upgrading" will be a lateral shift with possible signs of regression peppered with moments of brilliance (if I die tomorrow please engrave preceding quote on my grave stone). For others it's the best thing since some genius decided to cut bread before selling it. For yet others, they'll think that it's as good of an idea of swallowing thumb tacks.
That said, I'm on CM9 (01292012 build) and have been on CM9 since late December. Gingerbread no longer stands a chance, and as usual no Samsung thank you very much.
hey guys,
so after reading the CM9 install guide, looks like I need to flash the stock ICS first. I'm currently using MIUI 2.1.7 which is still gingerbread.
I went to the stock ICS firmwares:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
But didn't see any North American or Canada firmwares, does it matter if I get the Argentina one, or can anyone direct me to a North American version.
Another question is, after I flash the stock ICS, will I still have my root and CWM?
Thanks,
eclipse

Incorrect, just flash cm9.
I can go from MIUI gingerbread, straight to the latest CM9?
So just follow the flashing instructions I guess, and skip all the other nonsense?
If you're flashing through CWM there is a long and complex process to flashing such a complicated ROM:
Step 1. Factory reset/ wipe cache/ wipe dalvik cache
Step 2. Flash CM9
EDIT: Remember to keep breathing whilst you do it, sometimes I need to focus so intently on the complex process I forget.
One more question, if I wanted to update CM9 via Rom Manager, to a newer nightly, would any data/apps/contacts be lost or reset, or is it just an update?
Nightlies are just an update, no need for a wipe.

Don't use rom manager, I've been hearing bad things about it. Just use cwm recovery. And no data would be lost, just don't data wipe / factory reset in cwm recovery

Hey there,
I'm currently using a Galaxy S2, which is running stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 (no updates available through OTA nor Kies)
Baseband version: I9100XXKI1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
And now I would like to get CM9 on my phone. Although I read quite a lot of threads and tutorials, I still have some
unanswered questions left.
Of course I would like to get onto CM9 in the fastest (and safest) way possible, but I'm not really sure how I would accomplish this.
Is it rather better (or even possible) to just go from 2.3.4 directly to CM9? Could I first root it using insecure kernel or CF-Root and then use CWM Recovery to flash CM9? And would this process actually flash all the necessary things, like the correct firmware, kernel and bootloader?
Or should I use Odin to flash it to stock ICS first and then just follow the official full update guide from the Cyanogenmod Wiki (because it is written with the requirement of stock ICS running on the phone) ?
Please help me out with this, I'm thankfull for every answer that I get :laugh:
Follow the noob-proof instructions on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20841817 , and you can jump to cm9 from your current firmware, no need to go to stock ics first.

Just another question, as far as I understood it I don't need to root before applying the Resurrection Edition of CM9, right?

No. It already includes CWM recovery. After you flash it, boot to CWM and flash the last cm9 update + gapps, wipe data/cache and reboot.
Make sure you put the .zip files on your sdcard first
Great thanks!
This seems to be easy as it can get
Oh and just one more thing, should I do a backup of some sorts? Just a little bit unsure, because then I would have to root first, do a backup and then would be able to the whole CM9 thing (I don't know if the rooted kernel could somehow interfere with the Resurrection Edition later on)

You can backup Contacts, Sms, call logs and installed apps without ROOT

Yeay, just flashed my phone and everything worked out smoothly and perfect, didn't have any problems at all
(I also didn't do a factory reset, is it necessary to that? Because right now there isn't any data left from before and I'm also not experiencing any problems whatsoever, so not really sure if I should do it and what it would do)
Thanks to everyone who posted here and helped me to finally flash my phone :good:

I'm not sure, but i think the NOOB proof method you used already wiped your data in the flashing process. So there is no need for you to do it again

Yes, it does wipe automatically while flashing.

Is it possible to install/flash a JB custom ROM (based on latest official stock) over my current Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM without problems & have all my previous data (apps, features, contacts, settings..) back as it is ????

No, you need to wait for your region. You can of course flash one of the releases but you may get problems and end up having to wipe the phone to solve them.
You can get everything back except for your settings. You'll have to do the dance but everything else is recoverable.

I always find it best to wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik at a minum but before that you could always backup your apks and data using titanium backup or Mybackup root

I have an OTA update of about 25 mb but, it gets stuck at 25% & ultimately fails after reboot.. Tried either stock recovery or unrooted condition but, no joy.. Should I have both conditions at the same time or is something else the culprit. ?? Note that, I have installed Vertumus JB Domination theme which might've modified the build.prop...
Since my SII screwed up during an official Kies update. I've used Odin a couple of times to update official releases.
It's worked great, but the last install was supposed to be the official release but Keis hasn't worked since and I'd like to get it onto Jellybean.
I dont generally mess with it much between updates, so I'm a bit lost
Could anyone point me in the right direction please, I'm not sure what I'm running and what version of JellyBean I should be using to upgrade?

Some advice would be appriciated
So, what do you want? You want to flash a firmware yourself? And remember, going from ICS to jellybean will wipe your data, (apps, settings) things like photos which are stored on the internal SD is safe. So backup your data, before you flash do one more manual sync.

Says who? I flashed via Odin the JB 4.1.2 update and all my apps and everything is here. Then I even flashed the Siyah kernel and all is still there.
Don't spread fud.

Hi Sven
I want to flash JB onto my device with Odin.
I know it'll wipe everything (I keep everything I hold dear in the cloud these days)
I mainly need help with the mine field of versions.
What am on? and what should I upgrade to.?
Official if available. But other than that whatever is stable.
(what happens to apps installed on the SD?)
It does not matter which rom you are now. If you want to install JB is recommend the latest, which is LSE. If you know how to use odin, I direct you to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736726 You can download LSE from that thread. And if you would like to take a risk, you can flash without wiping data. I recommend it because of the diffrence between touchwiz 4 and touchwiz ux. I just like to have a clean phone after a update like this.

You are supposed to wipe data etc when changing platforms so everything runs smoothly.
Maybe youve been lucky lol.
