Hello guys.
What is the best way to wipe my phone, so its completely ready for new ROM?
Sorry if its alrdy out there. But hopefully you can help, im a bit new.
There area couple of things I would do and they are as follows
1. Do a backup of all your apps with Titanium or some other program like that
2. Do a full Nandroid back up of your current rom just incase you soft brick your phone.
3. Back up your EFS folder once that is gone its pretty hard to get it back. I have never had a problem but others have.
4. Make sure you wipe your cache/user data with CWM and also dalvik cache. This is to insure you dont have any issues with your old rom conflicting with the new one its sucks I have done this even if it says NO-WIPE rom.
5. Install your new rom whatever that may be

In addition to the steps, you can also format the system and emmc, If you want a clean slate. Just remember to place New ROM and nandroid backup on ext SD card before formatting
I was a bit hasty when flashing, and did not get a original rom backup(nandroid). Am I completely ****ed now? My current rom works just fine, just wondering if my next flash softbricks it. Could I back up my current rom and return to that?
Also, if I flash a original sammy rom from the original rom thread(the one I presume my phone came with), will I be able to update through the built in sammy function(Search for updates)?
Sorry for hijacking, but this thread seemed suitable rather than starting a new.
Cheers!

Sure, any backup of a working ROM is good. You can always pull an official firmware from Intratech's thread to flash back to stock if you need to in the future.

Maybe. I see a Norwegian flag in your profile. If you flash back to stock, it MAY work for you. Doesn't for me, but that's because I'm in the US, and no one officially carries this phone here.. so neither Kies nor OTA work for updates for me.

No, not suitable at all.
Hijacking bigtime and not using "search" either - good start, you'll not be popular if you carry on like this...
Since like me you're in Norway and can't sleep either I'll try to help - no links though, you gotta search:
If you're careful with flashing the softbrick chances are small. Yes, you can back up your current ROM.
No, you can't update via "search for updates" on the phone. It's an OTA feature that's never been implemented in Gingerbread - at least not here in Norge.
And you can't "presume" what your original firmware/ROM was - you either know it or you don't.
To be honest, you don't sound like you're ready for custom ROMs yet. I'd do a lot more reading here if I were you.
Lykke til.

Do you mean format /system? I'm thinking if you format /system, you'll have to re-flash the phone's firmware.

That does a full wipe, whilst keeping root.
If you change Roms, you will lose your root.
But when you install a custom kernel, most auto root anyway.
Finally words of advice, ALWAYS be sure what your doing if flashing anything!
Don't rush into Anything until YOU KNOW what your doing.
Not sure about something, ask. (dont guess or assume)

I put cm9 full throttle on vzw RAZR. With safestrap. I understand that safestrap has to be enabled to flash custom ROM. If I would like to go back to my backup of my original system do I have to disable safestrap to restore? My restore says it is unsafe also. Is that normal? Thanks.

Ok, a few things about Safestrap.
Safestrap will essentially give you 2 OSes, Nonsafe (stock) and Safe (flashed). From what you've told us, it looks like you flashed a custom ROM on your nonsafe side. The nonsafe side is for your STOCK OS, the Safe side is for any flashed ROMs. I know it's confusing with how they word it but if you're flashing anything you need to be on the safe side.
If that's the case, you will need to use RSD Lite to fastboot back to stock, then re-root, reinstall safestrap then when youre ready to flash a custom rom, switch safestrap to the safe side.

i think i done it right. my backup of original rom is the one the says non safe.i toggled{enabled} safestrap and thats where the cm9 is. so when i want to restore my original rom do i disable safestrap? then reinstall my factory rom which is the ota update ics 4.04. when i say disable i am speaking of being in recovery. and thanks for your reply.

Nope all you have to do is go into safestrap when you boot up Safe mode -> toggle safe system ->yes. It will then backup your Safe (CM9) side and restore you to the Nonsafe (stock) side. Think of safestrap like a toggle switch, you can toggle between the safe and nonsafe sides whenever you want.
Lemme know if this helps!

So if I go to recovery and toggle safemode I will be on my stock ROM? I did a full wipe. Do I have to restore my backup or just reboot when I toggle safe mode?

Well, as long as your stock rom is on the nonsafe side. When you boot up into CM, are you on the Nonsafe (RED LETTERS) or Safe (GREEN LETTERS) when you boot up (on the "press search to continue screen")?
When you're using safestrap you need to think of it like dual booting on OS on a PC, the nonsafe side needs to be your factory, stock rom. The safe side needs to be any custom rom that you want.
Does this help at all?

To go back just disable the safe system, should say "Safe systemISABLED" then reboot and it should go right into your stock rom.

Could someone point me in the right direction of how to get back to completely stock - without root?
I can only find the guide to revert to stock with root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 And im also confused on what would be considered "stock" now since im pretty sure what originally came in the phone has been updated.
FYI im running AOKP milestone 6, and i also have a jig if that makes any difference. (also is there a flash counter i need to worry about?)
I have a captivate, and i used to use the one click odin flash to get it completely stock, is there anything like this for this phone?
I guess my last resort would be to do what they said in the thread linked, and then figure out a way to unroot?

Here is the link to the stock one click package no root DL the first one. You will need 7zip to unpack it as well.... GL

EDIT: JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN AT&T SGS2 MODEL #I777 AND NOT A SKYROCKET #I727
A few more notes
1. Before you flash anything make sure your battery is charged...
2. Stock now would be UCLE5 ICS don't flash that tho it has a major bug in the kernel, KK6 has issues as well KH7 would be your best bet depending on what you want to do with the phone I will link you to two other threads at the bottom.
3. As long as you're flashing a stock package you won't trip the flash counter...
4. If you flash the stock no root KH7 package and it wont boot after, boot in to 3e recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If it does boot then boot back in to 3e and wipe data/factory reset to reduce any chance of FC's and issues...

maybe im getting it confused with my captivate then, but whichever was the most recent version of AOKP as of a few weeks ago.
I didnt do any type of reset, i thought this would just wipe everything anyway.

Just got a GSIII today and have been trying some JB ROMS out, but so far I have not been able to get WiFi working at all with any of them.
I have tried Vanilla RootBox, LiquidJB and SuperNexus but whilst I can see my WiFi AP on all of them and can enter my password all I get is the "Connecting..." message for ages before it gives up?
WiFi works fine on the stock ROM, and there are no obvious settings on the WiFi router itself which would be causing this.
Any advice appreciated!

Thanks, I just spotted a couple of threads mentioning this.
Couple of questions, when you say flash back to stock does that mean through CWM Recovery, or some other way? Does it have to be a straight flash to a downloaded stock ROM or am I able to just "restore" the backup I made?
Thanks again!

Cool, so I've got Odin (I believe that's what I used to root the phone?) Is there a specific .zip I need to flash back to? Also do I need to boot back in to the stock ROM or just stick JB straight back on again?
Please note, when you have flashed back to ics you need to then set up phone and connect to Wi-Fi once, then proceed to flash jb

Thanks for the help people
I seem to remember I just flashed an old wannamlite Rom in cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
These ones. (4.0.4)
Or try http://fus.nanzen.se/
This is if you want to find the original firmware your phone came with.
I'm still not having much luck with this.
Should I be wiping before I flash back to ICS, and then again before back to JB?
I think a wipe before flashing ICS is enough.
But watch the youtube video on the first post on :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
It pretty much explains every part of returning to stock ICS. From there it is just reflashing JB with odin and wifi should work.
Hmm, still not having much luck. I've installed my JB ROM, wiped, gone back to stock ICS using the ROM from the link provided above in ODNI.
But now when I try to reboot in to recovery to re-flash my JB ROM I seem to get a different version of recovery from what I had before and it fails during verification when I try to flash the .zip.
Any advice welcome!
I'm having the same problem here.
BUT, even flasing stock ICS and flasing a custom JB ROM after that does not solve the issue.
Here is what I did in what order. Maybe I'm missing some essential point or whatever:
- full wipe in cwm recovery
- flash stock ICS via Odin (I9300XXBLH3_I9300DBTBLH4_I9300XXLH1_HOME.tar)
- reboot and test WiFi. WiFi works fine! Firmware is 4.0.4
- flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to gain root again
- boot into CWM Recovery, format /preload (to get rid of apps installing themselves on boot)
- another full wipe
- install zip from sdcard (tried AOKP JB build 4 for i9300 and ParanoidAndroid v2.22)
same old ****! WiFi not conecting!
I would apeciatie any help to solve this problem for me. Aparently reverting to stock ICS has solved this for others but I dont get what I'm donig wrong her...

you need to root again flashing 'CF-Root' via Odin to get CWM recovery. I guess.

Okay so I Re-rooted with CF-Root through ODIN and have got CWM recover back, but now when I re-flash JB I still get the same problems, try to connect to WiFi and it just sits there saying "Connecting..." and then gives up!
Is there a specific set of steps for doing this? I connected to WiFi whilst back on the Stock ICS ROM (LG8) and that worked fine, I have tried various combinations of wiping/not wiping at each stage in between JB->ICS->JB with no luck. Do I need a particular Stock ROM to go back to, do I have to use a specific version of ODIN/CF-Root/CWM?
Very annoying as everything else about the Jelly Bean ROMS seems perfect!
Has anyone worked out why JB ROMS are doing this?
I have the same problem
It seems to work for some people to go back to ICS and then flash JB ROMs, but somehow it does not work for us..
I'm trying an old stock ICS now and the will flash cm10. lets see if that helps
I've downloaded a selection of stock and custom ICS roms to try with the process, hopefully something will do the trick!
Also I don't think changing router settings can have anything to do with this as it works fine for every other device I own, including a different handset running JB. However out of curiosity I spent last night playing with all the settings to see if anything would help. It didn't

I'm currently rooted stock JB. I tried to revert back to ICS by:
- reboot to recovery
- flash ics stock kernel
- flash ics stock rom
However, after reboot, the phone was stuck at the animation boot screen.
1. Is it even possible to revert back to ICS?
2. If it is possible, what am I missing?
The reason I want to revert back is because of the proximity senser problem (phone gets blank durring call/voice mail) + google navigation crashes.
Not sure.
Did you wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset, and system?
Them since it sounds like you are s- on. Flash the kernel then rom. I haven't read anywhere that you can't go between JB and ICS.
Rather than the stock ROM i would try one of the custom ICS ones since they were all very far along in development.
Like viper 2.0, super LTE or ICS tranquility.

MikeyXDA's MeanBean rom has fixed all those problems AFAIK click the link in my SIG and have a look
I'm pretty sure SuperJelly has al those fixed as well
You will need to do a factory reset to go back, or restore a backup. I agree with trying MeanBean first to see if you like it. Although if navigation isn't working for you on stock, then it probably won't work on MeanBean either.

I wiped everything. I also did a factory reset but it still didn't work. I then tried MeanBean and the proximity sensor issue is now gone ( haven't try navigation).
So I'm OK for now. Thank you for all the help.

However, after reboot, the phone was stuck at the animation boot screen.
1. Is it even possible to revert back to ICS?
2. If it is possible, what am I missing?
The reason I want to revert back is because of the proximity senser problem (phone gets blank durring call/voice mail) + google navigation crashes.

I'm currently looking for stock ICS ROMs (no root or goodies just an ICS stock rom I can put through twrp).
Can you point me to where I can get that ROM and Kernel you're using?
