So,
As title states... if I flash JB through ODIN, will the phone reset? meaning all apps, docs, pics etc are gone?

Flashing a JB firmware via Odin will usually NOT wipe ur data. But if you upgrade from ICS to JB without a factory reset (or full wipe), you are bound to face issues like crashes, freezes, lagginess, instability and poor battery life. So, a factory reset is recommended before or after flashing JB. You can backup all ur apps, contacts, calendar entries, messages, bookmarks, notes, call log etc before flashing. Your files, photos, videos etc will be safe.

Yeah.. problem is I can't open any app cause I get the "app has unexpectedly stopped"... So I can't backup anything.. I've searched for a solution but it seems like the only option is to factory reset
When going from ICS to JB is best to TB all your stuff, go for wipes and and put in the new one. Then you can TV all your stuff back (titanium back that is)

Download Go Backup and do backup of all your phone Stuffs after that do Factory reset. You can also do Wipe Cache from recovery mode.
Good luck

It's a random softbrick, no changes have been made for months, so I've not backed up for ages, I want to svae contacts and messages and app data.
Will odin wipe data, can it be repaired with CWM no wipe flash?
Long version.
I've been using ICS for 4 months.
I did a wipe and fresh install on the release of the official GB ICS.
I then used clockwork mod to changle toggles and clock, then triangle away.
Things were ok until a month ago when I hit the App to SD memory bug, which was fixed be removing apps back to internal.
Again been fine for about a month.
Then today, random lock on "Samsung Galaxy s II gt-9100" screen.
No changes have been made for ages, the only change was adding on{x} today.
Whats the best way to try and get this fixed? I want to save as much data as I can, I've not backed up for a few months, as I wasn't ,making any changes.
Should I just Just use odin and see what happens, or is there a better way, even if it is longer?
Can I put a no wipe flash on my SD and use CWM to try and repair? Is this a more complicated risk move? if so whats the risk.
I'd really like to keep as much as I can 'cos I've got the perfect setup for me (besides the boot lock...)
THanks folks.

Yeah, thanks for the help anyway.
I didn't know if using CWM to flash a different rom would work.
I was hoping a no wipe rom would fix the error was and keep my apps and data.
It didn't.
I used odin to flash a base > then CWM > then resurection.
I've lost loads of data :-(
But my phones sweet
lol, you win some and you loose some.
I really should know better, as a sys admin I bollock folks all the time for not doing backups. luckily I backed up messages recently, so should also have contacs there. Just all my save games, app data, is gone

Hi Guys,
I'm new in the android world and exploring around with custom roms. however i want to return back to a stock rom. Now i was wondering how can i do that without loosing any of my data e.g. sms, photos, save game data etc. can i return to stock using the same method going into a custom rom, using CMW just wipe dalvik cache and install rom? and will this also flash my kernel back to stock as well?
After returning to stock i will just root that and flash counter isn't an issue i have purchased Triangle Away
Thanks
You can`t, you can however copy your files to your pc and place them back after the flash.I`am using Appmonster pro to restore apps from sd to restore my apps if i`am not rooted.
You can also flash a stock rom and still keep root with MobileOdin Pro.

If you do a system upgrade it`s best to to a data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache, you don`t have to but it may result in crashings apps and system components. As fot the sms i don`t know, look in the playstore for an app for that. If you want to stay rooted backup users apps with Titanium Backup. and restore them after the flash, don`t know if texts are restored however.

I find that if ur switching to a new base, ie 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 or uve been flashing lots of different roms etc doing all the wipes ensures a smooth install. So if u wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and format system in CWM u get rid of any leftover files, previous kernel tweaks etc u know ur good to go. As long as u backup ur launcher setup, sms (Using sms backup and restore), apps + data plus wifi access points in TB pro ur phone should be pretty much back to normal, only annoying thing is sorting out all the settings and the time it all takes

Doing a full wipe always helps, and for backup and restore app i would recommend Go Backup. True, it has less options than Titanium, but it does back up sms, contacts, apps and more. All in 1 app and it's free. Give it a try
If your not moving to a diff ROM then I would rec just using cache cleaner from the play store. Keeps the fone running sweet!

I've just flashed SuperNexus and backed up all my apps + data for the first time, it's going through each app one by one on the installation, I assumed it would do it all in one go, is this normal? or have I done it wrong haha?
edit2: after restoring apps + data I just keep getting spammed with messages like "unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" when I try open contacts, phone etc it says the same message, halp what have I done wrong? my phone keeps crashing cause of everything not working
i cant send a text or anything! even when I receive calls it comes up, some apps work fine and the data is there but most important functions just do not work, can anybody please help me ?

You might try going in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Don't restore system data, and to batch restore apps you need the pro version
I just wiped the caches and nothing changed. If I reflash and restore just apps will I lose the data for the apps? Like saves etc

Yes, but you should be okay to restore data for the apps, but don't restore system data across roms.

Good job I saved contacts to SIM or it would of been annoying, thanks everyone!
I thought I bricked it last night too lol, I was flashing "UltimaROM" and was instructed to wipe the phone with his custom installer using Super Wipe. I did that and it just froze, was making no progress at all so I turned it off. It kept rebooting over and over and wouldn't get into recovery mode for ages but it eventually did.
Can anybody answer my kernal question? Is it safe to flash a custom kernal after ROM? I only ask because I read somewhere certain kernals/rom flashing causes a "brick bug" or something

Hello, s2 galllery just become unusable. How ? Well I connected device to the pc, copyed some photos to pc and then deleted some photos of s2 gallery from my computer with shift+delete. after that I disconnect device and guess what? Yes gallery and photo itself either lags alot even though its even less photos in the mobile than before or does not even start or says gallery is not respoding. Restarted device - did not help. deleted gallery data(cache) from applications section also did not help. I hope to find an answer without doing a factory reset.
for now it doesnt even start - says loading for ever

Did you do a safe disconnect of device?
Also, why does doing factory reset bother you? All you need to do is backup apps/appdata via Titanium Backup Pro, and SMS via SMS Backup, factory reset and restore backups and contacts will sync via google account. Its no big deal your not going to lose anything.
Also, why on earth call this a "major bug" when its completely obvious that it isnt otherwise it would be very common and well known about already. Plus you dont even bother to mention what ROM you're using, did you even check the roms thread? Or if stock did you contact Samsung?
I don't like factory resets either, I actually avoid them.

Well if everything works fine, Its not that your "avoiding it" its simply that you "dont need" to use it. So your original comment makes no sense.
Only time you need to wipe data is when moving to a new rom base/type, If you face issues or if you just want to do a clean install.

Avoiding it by not messing up with it. I could choose to go and play with things that will require a factory reset. I think I made that pretty clear, you just have to read it, think about it and read it again.
I'm good with semantics & semiotics, didn't I tell you that?
BTW, I flash with MO, it does the wipping itself.
Be good now.

And at what point did you make it "pretty clear" ?
Also what has Mobile Odin got to do with the price of fish? The wipe in question is in general if you have issues with a particular rom resulting in attempting to clear it by clearing non-default data/settings, Not about when wiping before/after first rom flash which is mostly for custom roms via CWM when its strongly advised unless moving up version of same rom. Since it ounds like you only use stock rom then you will very rarely come across teh need to use wipe.
Either way its not that your "avoiding" it, its simply that you have no "need" to use wipe in your circumstances because its not necessary.
Wiping data/factory reset is no big deal either way as the most important stuff can very easily be backed up and restored so if you have issues with system and cant resolve it then just backup everything and do wipe (and/or clean install of rom) and restore it back, simple.

Second quote TheATHEiST
Obviously you are talking to somebody who is very inexperienced with Android.
You can always download gallery apps from the play store. This would be along your lines of something you can do to fix it.
Also this is not a major bug!! Very very very minor at best!
