I have the rom from this thread and its the version RLS2 RC1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192869
My question is I want to update from the RLS2 RC1 to the • RLS2 Official but do I do it as if I was installing another new rom or do I update it with a certain method?
Also what is the MD5 SUM below the download link?
just flash the new rom and you set
but since I already have the older version of this rom do I still need to do a complete wipe? or is there a way to just update?
Always best to do complete wipe ... I use titanium backup and speeds up reinstalling everything TONS paid for pro version

thanks was just making sure, i figured if you were just updating your current rom there would be an easier method or that you could just apply and update as if it were from sprint
It's also a good practice to check the thread of the ROM you're updating to see what the OP suggests as far as full wipe or just a wipe of the cache and dalvik then flash. In most cases, as long as the framework hasn't changed from one version to the other you should be ok w/ just a wipe of cache and dalvik. YMMV
Joel actually said you needed a full wipe because he changed the default.xml, but in future iterations you shouldn't need to full wipe, just cache and dalvik
thanks guys i feel alot better about it now, cant wait to do it when i get home
I'm sure this is a noob question, but can you update a rom (unnamed) using the update zip if you skip an update. I'm at 1.0.4 and I want to update, but it looks like the update says v1.1.0-v1.2.0, so does this mean I can't use it to go from 1.0.4 directly to 1.2
I've got a ton of apps on, so I'd rather not factory wipe if I can help it.
Gtg uses non-wipe installs for this reason (I think). You can't use the 1.1.0 to 1.2 update, but you can use the full 1.2 package, and you shouldn't lose your apps.
But, you may want to back up beforehand to be safe.

I'm at UnNamed v1.1.0 currently and want to update to 1.2.
What I'm unclear on is the Wipe data step. Do I need to do that if I'm using the appropriate update zip or is that just in the instructions for clean/new installs of the full zip?
Better yet, what exactly does that step even do? Does that clear personal/saved data or program data like settings?

That step clears your rom wipes anything on that rom, if you are running 1.10 all you have to do is flash the update zip 1.10-1.20 (not the full zip) and reboot its easy, i did it last night
the full version is if you are coming from a different rom or want to do a fresh install
Worked like a charm. Thanks
anyone try the NFC option?
i went straight from 1.0.4 to 1.2 without any issues.

No apparent issues. gtg456x said you should install 1.2.0 full without a wipe rather than skip over an update.

You may be missing features or some stuff that you just don't know of yet. Just flash the full rom without a wipe. It is just as easy as doing the update. It only takes a little while longer to download.
Fair enough...
I guess that is one problem with a thread that has 1400+ replies. If critical info is not in the first post it is easily skipped. I even tried searching the thread to see if there was a mention of the "proper" procedure.

Just read the last few pages. Its mentioned several times.
Sent from my HTC PH39100
well, since i have time to waste I looked at the thread from the time the latest update was made until the time I did my update. No mention (in that time period) that you should do a full install and not the update.
"the last few pages" is full of posts made after I downloaded flashed the update. I still stand by what I said, 1400+ posts, when most are semi off topic or stupid questions, is A LOT to fish through for a basic install question.
No worries, just did the full install and all went well.
Yes, adding this little detail to the first post would be the best. I have this same problem and had to search the forums for a while before finding this thread. Should save time for a lot of people who don't follow the thread daily for updates.
Just my two cents - I was on this rom and noticed that after receiving a txt message, all notifications would play out of the front ear speaker, and not the rear speaker. I searched the unnamed dev forum high and low for a post on this and did not find an answer, but did see a post from a user with the same issue. Just curious if anyone else ran into this. Since switched to MIUI but loved unnamed and would really like to switch back, but I found the notifications issue a deal breaker...
Hey all,
since i'm new here i have no permission to ask in the developer threat, so ill try to get some advice to my issues in the Q&A section.
Yes i'd search for my issues and couldn't find any helpful advice.
I just wanted to update the Crdroid ROM from 6.4 to 7.1 I didn't wipe /data nor choose superwipe, i just flashed it over my 6.4 version.
After that my S3 didn't reboot, it always opened CWM instead of rebooting. So i had to restore it.
So what is the most comfortable way to update to Crdroid 7.1 or generally any ROM without losing all my settings and messages and so on.

I think you downloded from the first Medifire link that I provide, did you?
The first link was corrupted. Please, download again.
And you dont need to do Super Wipe or Factory Wipe. Cache and Dalvik.
Thank you very much!
I downloaded the ROM via torrent but ill try it again.
Is it necessary to choose the exact same options i did installing Crdroid for the very first time or can i change them ?
FYI. I went for the torrent and tried installing it a gazillion times to no avail. New mediafire link did tha magic. Could also be that that I was choosing different options. Either torrent file is broken, which should not be possible or an option brakes the installation.

The phone has been working great on Android 4.1.2 as I describe in the thread ( Optimizing [Rom][I605VRAMC3][4.1.2])
Found Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/help/rom-optimizing-t2817294
EXCEPT NOW, every time I boot the phone, I get a message that says All the APPS are upgrading automatically . I think the problem is related to me Using Titanium Backup to Freeze SDM 1.0 . The reason I froze SDM 1.0 was to stop the Nag from Verizon for a firmware update .
Anyone know what I need to freeze to stop the auto upgrading on every boot? It really slows down the boot time.
Thanks in advance
You probably did this already, but double check to make sure Play Store is not set to Auto Update apps. Can. be found in Play Store. settings. I don't believe that freezing SDM would play a role here, but I've been wrong before.

Hmmmm.... It's probably still working on updating apps that it started working on previous to disabling the auto update.
This might work..... Toggle off your wifi and data, then try going to phone Settings, Application manager, All Apps... then force close the Play Store and wipe the app data. Then open the Play Store again and it should go straight to settings area. Set it to " Do not Auto Update apps " and then back out of Play Store, turn wifi/data back on, and go back into Play Store and sign into the app again/change any other settings back to how you like them . I hope that will stop the auto update.

For a test,
I cleared data and disabled the Play Store, Turned off data and wifi . REBOOTED I'm still getting the same message while booting: Android is updating.......................................... ...................................
Now I'm thinking the problem is due to me flashing Gapps.
I flashed (HDPI / MDPI / TINY: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) for Android 4.1.1 – 4.1.2 – Jelly Bean, from http://www.teamandroid.COM/gapps/
I probably shouldn't have flashed it on top of the official stock 4.1.2 Verizon ROM. I probably have two version of Gapps on my phone competing with each other. The quickest thing would probable be to re-flash to the OEM [Rom][I605VRAMC3][4.1.2]

Ok.... I just realized that this has nothing to do with the Play Store App or updating your apps.... Your actual phone system is optimizing at boot screen.... like this pic, right?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm not in any way a developer or expert.... this stuff is just a hobby for me...so please understand these are just my thoughts to hopefully help and not make things worse for you. With that said, I suspect you have an app or script (or something) that is doing something like wiping the Dalvik cache with each reboot, which is triggering your phone to run through the optimization process each time you boot. I am pretty confident this has nothing to do with SDM being frozen. I'm not sure about gapps with stock. Why do you need that if your running stock?

Anyhow, What ROM do you recommend ? I'm using my phone to do Wave Accounting and Pay Pal transactions so I cant have down time.

Sorry for being off base with my initial thought on your above post... It's been a long week at work and I'm tired.... so that's my excuse...
I hope you get it sorted out with what's causing your phone to upgrade/optimize apps at each reboot. I did a Google search just now and apparently, this is common issue asked on XDA. I found several comments from people saying they think something causes the Dalvik/Cache to get wiped on reboot. I also read where someone reported that flashing Gapps did the same thing to them. If you're going to flash a new ROM, that should take care of the problem when you wipe things for the new flash.
On the XDA forums, it's generally frowned upon to ask for ROM recommendations. But for me personally, I have decided to settle (for now) on Beanstown106's JellyBeans ROM Build 22 which is based off of 4.1.2. I think this was the last 4.1.2 based Rom (for our SCH-I605's) that he did for his JellyBeans ROM before he moved on to developing for 4.3 MJ9, so I think a lot of the bugs were worked out of it.
I love the ROM and I've tried out several others. I always end up coming back to it because it's really stable and (pretty much) everything works. And with Xposed Modules and his built in options, I can tweak everything to how I like it.
You can still grab his older JellyBeans ROM build 22 by going to the current Alliance Rom Thread here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447 ), and then going to the "Downloads" area right above the thread title. The ROM Filename is: note2_JellyBeans_B22.zip.
There's tons of great ROM's for our phone and there's so many talented developers..... so I truly think you have to read through the threads on each of the ROM's to make a decision for your personal needs... but I know that JellyBeans Build 22 is very stable if that's what you're wanting. If you decide to try out JellyBeans Build 22, let me know if you need help with instructions for flashing it. I saved the install instructions for future reference when I flashed it the first time last year, but I don't see those old install instructions any place now that he's moved on to developing for the updated 4.3 build.

Thanks and right on time, After I did my return to stock I thought I needed to wipe both caches' and the system to be able to do a Titanium backup.
I lost my operating system and Odin didn't recognize my phone, I was looking for a 4.1.2 zip file at the time I found your post. THANKS!
I'm downloading now

When you say you returned to stock, I'm hoping you didn't ODIN flash a full stock version of 4.1.2, because that would have relocked your bootloader and removed the custom recovery and root. If you were able to use Advance wiping features, you must still have some sort of custom recovery on your phone.
Hopefully, you do so you can flash a zipped ROM back onto it. If you've still got an unlocked bootloader and have a custom recovery, you may want to try to flash this root/modified version of "stock" 4.1.2:
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261478 ). It was also made by Beanstown106 and the thread still has instructions.
Also, you may do some Google searching to find tips on how to get your computer/ODIN to recognize your phone in download mode again... the most common tips I've seen are to try to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers on your computer...and to try different USB cables and different USB ports on the computer.
I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed, but here are the original install instructions posted by Beanstown106 for JellyBeans ROM Build 22 if needed.
------------------------
"(INSTRUCTIONS) YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED
Step 1-
Make sure u are unlocked
Step 2-
Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build
Step 3-
Install the Rom (flash it in your custom recovery)
Step 4-
Reboot and Enjoy!"
-------------------------------------
Hope that helps. (Also, if Beanstown's stuff helps you... I'd encourage you hitting the thanks button for all his hard work )

Thanks I used JellyBeans ROM build 22 just to have a system so that I could get to Odin. Then I did flash the full stock version of 4.1.2 then I used the Casual method to unlocked the boot-loader and reinstall WIN recovery and root. As explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/help/rom-optimizing-t2817294. ( I ran into some driver issues between Casual and Odin but they were resolved)
Actually I have three Samsung i605's.
I have one that has got all the Verizon OTA updates, never tampered with it's on 4,4,2.
I have the one we have been talking about I have restored it to the fully stock version of 4.1.2 with Root.
And the last one I am experimenting with DN3 (Ditto Note 3) for fun and knowledge.
doctor-cool,
That's great. Glad you got it fixed.
And that's pretty cool to have extra devices to work with. Must be nice.

Hello,
I'd like to know when to do a full reset over the recovery when installing new ROMS or downgrading / upgrading a specific rom. I'm a Samsung Galaxy S5 user and I'm not sure when to do these steps. Some ppl say I have to wipe before I install the Firmware and others say I have to do a wipe after I've flashed the firmware.
So, what do you think and why?

hello,
The way this works are actually multiple things, and you should be very carefull not to be switching them around. There are multiple wipe possibilities.
Dalvik cache / Data, Where certain app data is stored. This is almost always wiped when doing a major version or rom update, like from cyanogenmod 11 to 12.
System, This is where the actual rom is stored, when switching roms this is usually done automatically by the installer. BE CAREFULL when wiping this, as it could brick your device if you don't know what you are doing.
some other things can also be wiped, but are not nessesairy most of the time.
Most guides for installing roms etc. explain pretty good what needs to be wiped in order for the rom to work. can I ask what you need to wipe something for?
I hope this helps a little, you can always message me and I will gladly help you.

I use the Galaxy S5 Knox 0x0 ROM for example. I won't use any other custom Roms like CM or such. I'm just confused about wiping because every thread says different methods or ways to wipe. In one thread it is recommend to wipe the phone before the installation of the rom and in another thread ppl say you have to wipe after the installation of the rom.
Installation: Downgrading from Lollipop to Kitkat 4.4.2 for TowelRoot.

So you are now installing Knox 0x0 kitkat over lollipop?
In that case follow normal instructions for installing kitkat.
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Install Kitkat
3. wipe data and dalvik (YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR APPS)
4. Restart
If this doesnt work, or results in a bootloop, try again, but this time before flashing kitkat wipe system.
hopefully this helps
