[Q] from Particle to CM7.2

Hello, I would like to know if it's safe to upgrade via cwm from the Particle Rom to CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG.
My Model is GT-S5660
Android Version 2.3.5
BaseBand is S5660XXKQ5
Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf
Compilation Nº GINGERBREAD.XXKS2.
I would also like to know what's the best app to backup all my apps+data.
Thanks in advance,

sure you can.
the particle problably is ext, so extformatterzip isnt needed...

I've gone from mod to mod my self. And if I remember correctly it was particle to 7.2. Just make sure you do the ext4 formatter before you apply the 7.2 zip.
As for backing up, a copy of titanium backup does a good job.
tooviral
edit.....5 min wait lol

Thank you for your answers!
That ext4 format you talk about, is made in the computer right?
A primary fat32 partition and a secundary ext4?

no...
if you havent got an ext4 partition wich you made on pc, you dont need to do it now...
just backup via titanium backup
then backup using clockworkmod just to be sure..
then flash cm7
then flash gapps
reboot
if stuck at android download extformatter.zip from clockworkmod thread by phiex.
if stuck at boot , wich can take about 3 mins the first time, wipe data and cache
reboot
you should boot now, restore your titanium backup
done

You might want to check things like that before you give someone advice. Particle is a modified stock ROM so it's RFS.

1. sync all contacts & calendar with Google Account
2. if u use notes from stock u must sync them with PC
3. make zip backup from CWM recovery
4. make a full backup with titanium backup with options on (full cache and full data)
5. when u restore apps - dont forget about: dont restore APP + Data if data not need or if u can fast reconfigure ur app.
6. start flashing

Can't restore nandroid backup

Hello, I tried out the new CM9 Beta 3 on my Gio, but before I flashed it, i've made a backup with CWM. Now after flashing, I've decided to switch back to my old backup, now I get an error while restoring:
"failed on /dev/block/stl12"
I have CWM v5.0.2.7 rfs + ext4 installed.
Please, can someone help?

I'm not sure, but the rfs+ext4 CWM should only work on rfs. If you're using CM, then you should've installed ext4 only CWM. I may be wrong.

You need to use CWM(ext4+RFS) with any stock or stock based ROM. Unless it has been converted to work with Ext4 partitions, but this would be stated by the developer.

Same issue
Ok threat not closed I see.
Same issue:
Samsung Gio,CWM-based recovery 5.0.2.7
Installed CWM (maybe another version??), backed up, Installed CM9, then 7.
Need contacts, were not synced with google.
Try to recorver backup and get the Error while formatting /System!
failed on /dev/block/stl12
please provide help.

sorry deeply sad here!

sorry guys can't make mods for a long time anymore my phone won''t boot into CM7 i dont know why sorry for this!

i will try it android 2.3.5 downloading now than flashing en than formatting the sytem and installing cm7 again i hope it will work

also backup a stock rom, when its clean installed, and save backup on your pc, so you always have a clean backup of a stock rom, then flash cm7

Yeah but if you flash back to Stock Rom using Odin your filesystem is back to RFS

Not necessarily, the /data and /cache partitions aren't touched by Odin.

The solution to that is to format within recovery mode. If that doesn't work, dd RFS-formatted empty /data and /cache back into place. Let me know if someone needs those.

Want a nandroid backup of stock rom galaxy y

Hello
I want a nandroid backup of stock rom because I have installed custom rom and want revert back
to stock rom I have made a backup of stock rom before installing custom rom but when I restore it the
restore completes but the phone stucks at boot Samsung galaxy y young............... I didn't want to restore through odin
so plzzzzz plzzzzz, someone plz provide me the nandroid backup of stock rom

I have one but without kernel
Sent from my GT-S5360

A nandroid backup includes users application with data,
That's why I think noones going to share a Nandroid, why you don't want to flash through ODIN

Use ODIN, it's a better way than nandroid backup....u might get stuck at logo in the new backup too, but ODIN's always safe....
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");

This is what you want, btw its an asian firmware, you may need to change csc after flashing if you are not from asia:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710161

can anyone tell me that why i stucks at logo after restoring the backup and i wanna tell 1 more thing that the 1st time i restored the backup it restored without any difficulty but at second time it stucks at logo why it is so......

Make sure you are on stock kernel before restoring the backup

here it is bro..
go to stock recovery then wipe data/cache, then apply update from sdcard choose your cwm then inside cwm wipe data/cache again, then backup/restore then restore... dont reboot, select advance then choose reboot recovery.. then apply update from sdcard choose cwm, install zip from sdcard, choose zip, find your stock kernel.zip then install.. after install, reboot system, done..

The previous custom rom.you installed probably installed a custom kernel that requires 99complete in init.d folder to bootand obviously that file doesnt exist in stock rom bro

It's because the custom ROM would have been on a different kernel, so when revert back to the default one, it gets stuck. I'm not exactly sure though.

Have you tried to flash a different ROM instead of only restoring a backup?
Maybe this thread can help you?

i already tried to flash a different ROM, and if it says the installation was successful
it still wont start up and blocks

You can possibly install stock rom through odin again
i have tried many times like you
cause I want to install custom rom but can not wipe dalvik cache so it just doesnt work to flash a new rom... I ALSO cant restore the recent backup , only the backup long time ago can be restored
