I'm flashed and rooted etc and i got a rom. And now i wanna change to another one but i cant find a good thread on how to do it..
Do i need to restore etc like the first time so i loose all my setting,apps etc?
Or can i just download one and install it from SDcard?
Sorry for my newb question.. i really dont wanna skrew things up on my phone just change rom
best regards
Download the ROM. Go to Clockwork Recovery, create a backup, then wipe data/cache and go to advanced -> dalvik cache and wipe that. Then install from .zip and find your rom
I presume you've already done a nandroid backup and titanium backup for your apps ? if your changing rom you will need to wipe data/reset in cwm so it will mean restoring your apps and setting up the phone again. then just flash the new rom like you did before with cwm. The rom you choose will probably have some install instructions anyway ? If your updating an existing rom to the new version you can generally just wipe cache and dalvic which means you wont need to setup the phone and apps again.
What you going from and to out of interest ? I'm running bigxies Apex and it really is good.......

This is why people shouldn't just use the Toolkit and then post up BS questions. Learn what you're actually doing and how to do things, everyone else had to

Little harsh, but very true.
If you don't know how to do this basic stuff, playing with custom roms and such is a bit dangerous, and quite silly imho
It's not hard, read around the forums a bit, learn what your doing, then and ONLY then, begin to play with things that can turn your phone into an expensive paper weight

Hey all, i hope this thread clears some doubts about this rom.
I downloaded the the rom and the LC8 radio. I have the necessary files in order to start flashing. I'm having a little trouble finding out the correct procedures to do this. Let me summarize my doubts.
1- Im coming from GB 2.3.6 Juggernaut Rom, if i follow the flash instructions exactly how the dev posted, if anything goes wrong, will i still be able to recover via nandroid?
2- i was reading throughout the post and in the download link for the rom, the dev says that the rom does a full wipe by default, does this mean that i can skip step 6 " flash darkside super wipe" or flash it anyways?
3 and most important... if im coming from GB to ICS, the flashing procedures remain the same? i dont want to brick my phone if im coming from GB based rom. thanks in advance
Thanks in advance. I must point out that i did read the dev's post and used the search feature.
Thank you people and as always thanks for helping

Here's your steps bud.
1. Backup apps with titanium.
2. Do a nandroid backup through recovery.
3. Download the newest ICS radio. (I believe there's a link in his post.)
4. Download TDJ's tool.
5. Download dark side evoulution rom.
5a. Place all downloaded files on root of SD card.
6. Boot into recovery.
7. Flash the super wipe tool.
8. Flash the radio.
9. Flash the rom.
10. Wipe cache.
11. Wipe dalvik.
12. Fix permissions.
Optional- wipe battery stats.
13. Reboot. 1st boot can take 10 minutes. Let sit till it reads SD card and USB storage as well as loads data.
Optional- I always power off imidiatley after first boot. Then reboot and set up phone.
Have fun let us know if you need more help.
Sent from my Galaxy to yours.
If you're going to give advice then make sure its the advice that the dev gives in his opening post. Flash the ICS radio, flash the ROM. TDJ has super wipe built in and it will wipe caches and fix permissions. If you still need to wipe dalvik TDJ has a cache wipe that also correctly fixes permissions.

thank you guys i will have fun doing this i will report if i need anything else
As for your question about being able to recover from your nandroid, yes. I always run TDJ's super swipe first, then perform the restore.

hi, i recently got an ATT note 2. The phone I got already got Clean ROM 3.5, so I presume it is rooted, with custom recovery (TWRP when I checked). I am thinking of flashing to a diff rom and just want to ask a few questions.
1-do I need to run triangle away every time I flash to a diff rom?
2-since the phone already has a custom rom, I should not have to root it, am I correct?
3-If I want to install custom, ROMs, can I just put the ROM in the external SD and flash it that way (of course with clear cash, davik, etc as states in the rom).
4-I am thinking of playing with the CleanROM 4.2.4 or the ACE version? any issue with either one compare to the 3.5 that I am using now? any recommendation?
5-anything I need ot watch out before I flash it? I have flashed a coupole of time with htc phone and this is my first samsung phone so I don't watn to brick it.
thanks a lot guys, XDA rocks.

1. No you do not need to run triangle away usually only have to run it if you are going back to stock and may want to return the phone.
2.Nope it has a Rom you are rooted !
3.That is what I do when installing a new rom factory reset wipe davlik and cache and install you may have to fix permissions with some installs as well after installing.
4.From the bit I played with the new Clean rom it is very stable with minimum if any grief Jedi 9 is also a awesome ROM and my current fave.
5.Just read up lots before you do it follow every step they tell you to take your time it is easy just make sure ya know what you are doing before you start.
6.Enjoy they are a awesome phone !!
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. It heped a lot. I will definitelycheck the roms. I am using 3.5 and it runs really good and hate to ruin it.

do a backup in twrp before flashing a new one, you can always come back
thanks for the info. That brings me to another question with TWRP, when I do TWRP backup, should I backup everything, modem, efs, etc. Also, if I use that backup and I do restore, does it restore everything, program, rom, setting, etc?
Also, if I want to flash the stock ROM, would that mess up my root, recovery etc? Do I need to do anything if I flash the stock ROM? From my past experience, sometimes, it is good to flash the stock rom once in awhile since that seem to do some sort of clean up and it also helped to keep the modem and such up to date.Probaby won't keep the stock for a long time but just thought I may flash it to play with it and keep the modem files up to date. Then flash custom rom. I also read that if I want to use triangle, I must be on stock rom or it will brick my phone, so I want to make sure before I start playing with diff roms.
thanks a lot guys

This is one of nice features of TWRP... ability to backup/restore individual partitions. Android stores various blocks in different partitions. To name a few, System, Data, Modem, Recovery, Boot, Cache, etc. If you just want to backup your modem for example, just check the "modem" box (and I recommend naming the folder to something significant so down the road you'll know which modem it is). When you restore, that folder will only have your modem.. so you can restore a different modem without having to change your rom, (etc). Kernels are stored in the "boot" partitions.. again, if you want to change kernels, backup the boot partition and name it properly if case you want to reflash that kernel. Generally, after my first flash of a new ROM, kernel, modem, I'll create a "boot" backup, "modem" backup, and ROM (system/data/boot) partition backups. If you look in the TWRP folders themselves, you can see the blocks which are backed up... or will be restored. Hope that helps.

When I back up in TWRP, I usually just go with what is default checked off. You will not mess up your root unless you really really tried to. The last time I ever had to flash back to stock then to a custom was on my Xperia X10a... You should be fine flashing a new rom without having to go back to stock as long as you do a good wipe (Wipe System, Factory Rest, Davlik, and Cache is what I do only because it doesn't hurt... I've read you do not need to do all those steps but I do them nonetheless). Do not use Triangle Away unless you plan on returning your phone or send it in for warranty. Only then should you start asking questions about that tool.
The only issue that may cause SOME confusion (not too much but some) is flashing back and forth between a 4.1.2 and a 4.2.1 since the SD card adjusts to User settings (some folders open up for individual users on 4.2 but as far as my experience goes, I have not had any issues with it, I just needed to study my SD card after each flash).
So you should be fine... just do backups, rename them to make sure you know which rom belongs to which backup, delete the old ones from the RESTORE menu in TWRP in case you are backing up the same rom to save you some space (my backups take around 2 gigs sometimes EACH) and you should be good to go... Enjoy tweaking out on your roms!

Much appreciated for your detail explanation on the TWRP. I did a quick backup and selected all of the option and now I see the files in my external SD:
modem.emmc.win
data.ext4.win
cache.ext4.win
recovery.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win
efs.ext4.win
data.ext4.win
system.ext4.win
Quick question. If I understand correctly, the modem and efs is not ROM backup, so if I just want to revert to the rom I am currently running with all apps and such, I only need to backup system, boot, data, am I correct?
Also, is there any way that I can retain my data, settings, and apps, without re-download and re-configurate everything after I flash to a new ROM? I am thinking that maybe data will do such thing but not too certain. In the past, whenever I flash to a new rom, I always download all apps again from market and setup everything again, a bit hassle but that's how I did

thanks for the info/warning on the triangle. I read that it can brick the phone and also needs to be on the stock to use it. Also read that if there's too many counts, it may not work. I guess for now, I just won't touch it.
Since there's no 4.2 roms available (at least not what I have seen and want to play, CleanRom or Jedi as they are highly rated), I guess for now I do not have to worry much on the SD card issue. It will be safer I guess for now just stick with 4.1.2 until the kinks are worked out.
For the wipe system, factory, davlik, cache, do I do that before flashing it?watched a couple of video and instruction and they all have diff answers. Some people said do factory reset, flash, and then wipe davik and cache.
Again, really really appreciate all of the support guys.

Think of your Nandroid (TWRP) backup as a roll back to what you are comfortable with (check everything off so you do not lose a thing if you want) in case you find that the new thing you flashed isn't all that it was cracked up to be for you or something messes up. The Nandroid backup is EVERYONE's friend.
As for flashing a new ROM and having to start all over, I will use this as an example: I have two backups; one for Paranoid Android (4.2.1 AOSPA) and Clean 4.2.5 (4.1.2). When I originally flashed my stock to Clean, I must've gotten lucky by just wiping the system (ROM only and not a factory reset) and all my data transferred over just fine with no issues... but when flashing to PA, I had to do a full wipe then start from scratch (which was not bad if you sync your apps and contacts thru Google). Also, you might want to get another backup system such as Super Backup to back up your contacts and SMS messages (be careful with backing up call logs if you go to 4.2.1 ROMs because for some reason, things went wacky for me). Titanium is a good system to use for power users but sometimes, to keep it as simple as possible, count on Google at first for your app syncing (and if you get Amazon App Store, you will have to get that APK to download the apps from that store).
Anyway, from there (if you want to play with multiple ROMs) you now have a foundation. Dirty flashing (flashing a new version of a ROM you currently have without doing a full wipe... just in case you didn't know... for me, I just wipe System [no factory reset] then flash the upgrade) should be fine... again, I'm typing from experience because there are some people who do run into issues dirty flashing and is usually not supported by the devs unless you do a full wipe and flash. I have not had any issues whatsoever dirty flashing both PA and Clean versions.
As for methods of wiping, honestly they're all right... I just posted what I usually do when I want to do a full wipe. Only if you want to do a dirty flash, you won't have to wipe or do a partial wipe (I partial wipe e.g. Clean 4.0.5 to 4.2.5: Delete last Clean Rom backup through the Restore menu, Nandroid Back Up current working Clean Rom 4.0.5, Wipe System, Install the new 4.2.5, wipe Davlik and Cache (again, I do this just in case but some devs say it's unnecessary), then reboot and wait for the apps to reset... all was where it was when I left 4.0.5.

Yes... if you're retaining your current modem and recovery... to restore a rom just as it was when you backed it up, restore boot (which has the kernel), system and data. One your second question, when restoring a different rom , it's best to always restore system/data/boot together. You can use TiBu to restore your user app DATA, and individual apps usually have their own backup files you can restore (like Nova/Apex launchers [which can restore your widgets], calendar, etc).
much appreciated guys. thanks so much. I think I got it. Will get ready to pick a good ROM and starts flashing.
one little thing, I saw this rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124182
it says stock rooted, does that mean that it is essentailly identical to what is found on the stock rom except that it will not mess up with my recovery and rooting if I use it to flash as oppose to the guide I saw online to flash to completely stock using ODIN.
Also, I did the unlock with what I found on the thread, would that mess got messed up when I flash to different ROM?

That rom is one of the most recent 7105 (note2 international) samsung firmware releases... supposedly better battery life than LL7 or LL4. It's the stock MA6 pre rooted (i.e., has SuperSU app and binaries included). No other features added like you would find with CleanROM 4.2.5 for example. It includes rom and kernel... so it will write to your system, data, and boot partitions. Whatever custom recovery you have now and flash this with will not be touched.
thanks again.

what are the steps should i do next? pls hep.
First paste the ROM and GAPPS into your SDCard.
Then go into Recovery. (The procedure is the same like with stock Recovery. See here.)
Then as Arco described already.
arco68 said:
Install
Use CWM5 or CWM6.
Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM10. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
Wipe data and cache.
Flash update*.zip.
Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM10 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
Reboot phone.
After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.

The step is totally explained above me.
But if you want fresh ROM installed on yous SGW, I suggest you for doing pristine way.
If you confused how to pristine way you can see the thread in general section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044861
Other way, you can do full wipe
-wipe data
-wipe cache
-format /system
-go to advance and /format dalvik cache

Better use the one without Picassa, exept you want to use Googles Picassa to store your pictures online. For me it´s more annoying than useful. I use the one without it and even disabled Picassa in my Google Account but nevertheless the Gallery in my Phone is always moaning it couldn´t sync my pics with it when I´m not online.

Boot into CWM5 recovery. Make a full backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.
Is this necessary? what will happen if i dnt make a full bacup?

It is not necessary to do a full backup, but if you encounter problems with your new rom and if you had a backup, it is much more easier to restore a backup with all your files, apps, contacts, sms etc. So it is not necessary but it is highly recommended !!!
You can do a back up with your version of the recovery (CWM6). You do not need CWM5...

If you can root your phone you can find a ROM.
And if you have no idea what a kernel or a ROM and which goes with what, I'd suggest staying away from flashing for now and look up tutorials and videos.

i used the TOOLKIT stuff to get my phone rooted..
is the kernel a essential thing for AOKP? i have already downloaded the ROM. any possibility to get AOKP by using "zip from card" directly?
thanks for your reply by the way.

Every rom comes with a kernel built in.
You need a custom recovery for your phone (Clockwork Mod or TWRP)
In recovery factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, flash rom, flash gapps (Google apps needed) wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot.
If any of this seems overwhelming read read read. Watch a YouTube video on installing a recovery for your phone. Or a video on flashing a rom.
Phones are bricked by not understating what they are doing and downloading the wrong files.

thanks dude.i will.
The rom comes packaged with a kernel. Follow the flash procedures on my link to install the rom and gapps. This will wipe the phone so be prepared. You said you already made a nandroid in recovery, right?

As long as you made a backup in twrp, you should be all set to go ahead and wipe and flash
Be sure to have the rom and gapps zips placed on your phone before starting.

When you wipe, you're essentially creating a clean slate for your new operating system to run on. Making a backup will allow you to restore your device in the event you run into any issues in the future. The backup will restore whatever rom you were running when you created the backup. For example, the backup you already made, when restored, will place touchwiz (stock) back on your phone. Once you flash a rom, if you were to make a backup again, it would backup your system with that particular rom. Then you would have 2 backups: 1 that has stock and 1 that has aokp or whatever it was you were running at the time of backup.
You can also copy and paste these backups onto your computer to have in case anything ever happens to your phone.
I would read up on all these processes and procedures a little more before you begin.
