Hi: I've been enjoying using the CyanogenMod for a couple of months now and love it. Thanks to all who created it and continue to improve it.
I simply want to upgrade to the latest stable version. Here's what I "think" I need to do. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could verify the same.
1) put zipped flash onto root of SD Card
2) Backup phone using Titanium Backup
3) Power off phone and choose "recovery" shut-down option
4) Choose zipped flash from sdcard
5) Wait for flash to complete
The other options on the reboot menu include among other things: Wipe, Mounts, Other. I've read in other post that it's a good idea to wipe dalvick-cache. Should I do so - and am I missing anything else?
If there's already a thread out there that walks one through these steps, I was unable to find it - but would appreciate being pointed to the same.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you are just upgrading from earlier cm7 rom, you just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, nothing else

Unless you are updating from a previous version of CM, you should always do a full wipe. Take backups of your sms, contacts, etc.

If you are goin' from froyo or other ROM you have to wipe ALL. It means Data (format system)/Cache/Dalvik Cache/BattStats . If you are goin' from earlier CM7 then wipe Cache/Dalvik cache/battstats.

Hello guy im having some issues installing omega v12 to my gs3 my phone is GT-I9300 model and rooted, I downloaded the room to my internal sdcard and install it via cwm, the installation secced every time but when it reboot it gets stuck at samsung logo and returns to recovery, whats wrong with my phone? or what am I doing wrong?
Anyone pls.!!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Have you wiped it before flashing the Rom e.g. factory reset wiped cache and delvik cache also they flashing it twice straight after each other
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There should be no need to install it twice in a row. Try what was first suggested.. when in recovery, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM... reboot.
Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing?

Bummer. Yeah flash another ROM if you have it on your SD card.. try to boot into something. If it was a bad DL of the omega rom it shouldn't flash, and the fact that your getting successful is weird
Next step is maybe pushing a files onto your phone via ADB and try to flash again. You got recovery so your not too bad off

that is a .tar file buddy. You can't flash it thriugh recovery. you have to put your mobile into download mode , connect to pc via uab. start desktop odin, select pda and then CWMtouch.tar file and hit start. then once you see the pass, it is done.

This tutorial is for people with A2 Bootloader only. If you are already on official KK with A3 bootloader, don't use this since it will fail.
A lot of people are wondering how to go back to JB roms from Kitkat. So here's a little guide of how to do that without downgrading back to MJ5.
Assuming you are already on Kitkat rom with root and Safestrap installed.
Please download this togetsafestrap first.
DOWNLOAD ME FIRST
Extract the togetsafestrap folder somewhere you can access easily. ( Credit to Drakey for togetsafestrap method)
**** First backup all the data especially your phone internal storage since everything will be deleted. *****
1. Download the JB rom of your choice and copy it to external SD card.
Skip step 2 & 3 if you are not on SafeStrap 3.7.2
2. Uninstall the SafeStrap recovery.
3. Delete/Uninstall the SafeStrap 3.7.2 apk.
4. Install the SafeStrap 3.71 and install the recovery. (please make sure it says installed.)
5. Put your phone into download mode by either press power, restart, download mode if your rom has 4 ways reboot OR power the phone down, load into download mode by holding volume down+Power+Home buttons for few secs.
6. Connect to the pc. (Make sure all the drivers and everything is configured correctly.)
7. Open Odin from the extracted togetsafestrap folder earlier. Your phone should show up as connected.
8. Put AP and BL from togetsafestrap and press start.
9. Once everything is done successfully, the phone will reboot.
10. Now you should see the Safestrap recovery splash screen and click recovery.
11. Now make sure you wipe everything. (Dalvik cache, cache, data, system under Advance)
12. Install the JB rom of your choice from your external SD card
13. Once the rom is successfully flashed, just reboot it normally and you will be back to JellyBean rom with fully working Safestrap.

Let me know if you have any questions.
All credit to Hash and Drakey.
Thanks to Conekiller for those who have trouble installing 3.71. Please try out the method he did and report back if it works same for you.
Conekiller2 said:
For those of you having the issue with safestrap 3.71 not installing the recovery here is the way i was able to do it.
Reinstall the 3.72 recovery
boot into safestrap recovery
wipe rom slot
flash (install) desired jb rom via safestrap
wipe cache/dalvik
go back to main menu
reboot and select download
odin files from op
reboot
setup as usual
install safestrap 3.71
it will show newer recovery
hit uninstall recovery
hit install recovery
done

You can only do mods , flash and restore backups of the same android version, if you're in jb with safestrap then you use it to do all of those, if you're in KitKat now with the update for safestrap you can do the same, but you need the comingfromjb.zip to upgrade to KitKat, and this method to go back to jb. You can use Odin for any mods as long is the same android base.

Well that depends on the mod, if is made in zip format then you use recovery in safestrap no matter what version of android you're using, I think only tar and pit files are flashed in Odin.

Yes , the process is due to the fact that since we don't have an unlocked bootloader the different bootloader and files like modem and have to be done in Odin, that's why the two step process to go back and forth. But yes I just finally upgraded to kk, just setting up right now, to get safestrap added. I've had a bunch of previous devices and all got unlocked bootloaders so this was a learning process for myself too, but once you learn it, is easy going back and forth.

Ok cool thanks for the info and I agree about locked bootloader first phone that doesn't have a unlock for it so just wanna sure I know everything before I do it and since knoxraid thread is closed and probably won't be updated anytime soon think it's time to go back to jb and has anyone tried this yet?

you mean you rebooted and the SS doesn't even show up?
If not, then just start back from putting in download mode and odin back again. You should get back into safestrap.
Hi,
I am pretty new to this so sorry in advance for unnecessary questions
I recently installed the romaur on my D6503 Xperia z2 and think it's awesome so far.Using the doomkernel 5 at the moment and thinking of upgrading to 7.
My question: Is it safe to assume that this version (and future releases of doomkernel ) will work with romaur or should I be cautious, how does it usually work?

I'm assuming your using Romaur 2.2 or lower with Doomkernel 5 since that is for .69 firmware.
Doomkernel 6 and 7 is for Romaur 3.0 as it's made for .402 firmware.
You will have to upgrade to Romaur 3.0 to use Doomkernel 7.
If you want to upgrade, download Romaur 3.0 and Doomkernel 7 to you external SD card
Boot into TWRP recovery (keep pressing volume down when you see Sony logo after reboot), wipe data (dont wipe externalSD), format
Restart into recovery, you'll be taken back to CWM recovery
Flash Romaur (don't restart), flash Doomkernel, then restart
I see. Thank you for a great answer!

You also need to download the .402 fw. Don't install doomkernel v6/7 on .69 or earlier.
Sendt fra min D6503
Okay, so to put all of this together in correct order:
1) Flash "Kernel and baseband .402 d6503" using flashtool.
2) Download Romaur 3.0 and Doomkernel 7 and put on external SD card.
3) Boot into TWRP recovery (keep pressing volume down when you see Sony logo after reboot), wipe data (dont wipe externalSD), format (i never realized that i had both cwm and twrp installed )
4) Restart into recovery, you'll be taken back to CWM recovery and then flash Romaur (don't restart), flash Doomkernel, then restart.
Does that sound about right?
I really appreciate the help I’m getting from you guys.

Hm, I'm doing something wrong. After step one I can no longer load into cwm or twrp. The screen just goes black and nothing happens when pressing either volume up or down. I have flashed back to the latest version and now all is well, except that im still on the old version
Any ideas for what I am doing wrong?

I never flashed the .402 firmware and baseband in flashtool or anything coming from .69 (Romaur) 2.2
I just did the exact steps i listed in previous post, except I installed advance doomkernel v04 since v06 and v07 weren't available when I flashed Romaur 3.0
Heres the link to the advance kernel, put on your SDcard in case you get a bootloop after flashing Romaur 3.0 with v06/07 kenel.

I don't want to be responsible for you bricking your phone, but the steps I listed in my previous post is exactly what I did coming from Romaur 2.2
You lose X-reality though, so flash the .402 firmware if you want to keep X-reality.
I restored a backup from before romaur, installed doomkernel 7.0 and then installed romaur 3.0. This seems to be working so far. How can I see if X-reality is working? I can check and uncheck the box but I am not sure it actually does anything

Turn on X-reality, go to album app and look at a picture, take screenshot
Turn off X-reality, go to album app open same picture and take screenshot, while X-reality is off, flick through both pictures and see if you notice a difference.
You could also upload the pics onto your PC to see if there's a difference.
I think on Romaur 3, you have to download the X-reality zip
There is no difference in mine, but I don't care since I don't have it on anways.
So, the doomkernel 8 is here and with it a question
It says that extfat won't work work this version.
How can I tell for sure if I am using extfat on my external sd at the moment?
