[Q] CM7 - Upgrade from RC0 to RC1

Hi all.
can I please get some confirmation before I mess things up (again)?
I'm currently running on CM7 RC0. I'd like to upgrade to RC1v2. The procedure I think is:
1. Download Latest CM7 ROM and put on SD card.
2. Boot into Custom Recovery.
3. Install the CM7 zip file and then the google apps one.
4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.
Is this right, or do I need to go back to the start and reflash the sbf, root, etc etc?

That's unuseful, even more if you do it after installing cm7 + gapps !
I have upgraded to RC1 without wiping anything...
Of course, if you want to avoid doing some mess you'd better wiping cache + dalvik before installing the rom, but it's not really necessary.

oops. Yes I may have got that in the wrong order.

edited sorry

If you first wipe than update over zip you are on the save site

It's also good to do a 'Wipe battery stats', on Recovery->Custom Recovery->Advanced. Battery can get a little messed up upon upgrading.
Check out the FAQs thread by antony.ps, it is very good! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
The instructions for upgrading are in the item 3. They are still for CM7 RC0, but it is just a matter of substituting the files for the newest CM7 + gapps

thanks. I did the update this morning after finding section 3) in the FAQs - I'd looked there yesterday and completely missed them. Will now work on slowing down my scrolling speed so I don't miss important stuff again.

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..

I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.

so are those the steps i need?

and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?

Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.

so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?

Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.

sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"

'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.

will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?

If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.

Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?

Thank you so very much!!!!

No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.

You're a life saver!!!

[Q] Which KT7474 kernel are you using with CM10?

Just like the title suggests, which KT747 kernal is compatible with CM10? Every time I flash the kernel my phone wont boot and I have to restore from a backup. I am currently on CM10-10/22 build 10827 and the KT747 kernel I am trying is the AOSP-JB-ATT-10-22-2012. I do have a ATT Galaxy S3 so I would assume that this should work?
Thanks for everyone's time!
Zehel

There is a version for pre 10-14 CM10 and one for after.

After you flash your ROM be sure to fully boot your device into android then go back into recovery again and then flash kt747 , then wipe cache+dalvik +fix permission . Reboot

Ah! Fix permissions could be a huge part of the problem. Let me try that and see if that fixes my problem. Also, maybe I am blind but I can't seem to find the one for CM. Is there a separate thread for the CM Kernel or is it in the thread by Ktoonsez?
Thanks again,
ZS

CM10 is an AOSP rom.

That makes crash822's post make sense. Thank you all for your help. I now have it working! Let the amazingness commence!

Hey man, do you mind sharing what you did to make the kernel work?
I have almost the same issue as you did before, and tried everything I know (including reflectingod's method), still doesn't work at all.

Well, to be more specific, KT747 kernel doesn't work at all on my GS3. I am using ATT variant i747, with task's AOKP ROM. I followed the full wipe -> ROM -> gapp -> kernel steps strictly, and was sure using the post-1014-JB kernel to pair with 1022 AOKP release, But still, my phone is suffering random hot reboot, black screen, system process are terminated randomly, and any opened apps will be closed within mins. Yes, I have cache/dalvik wiped after flashing the kernel, and permissions are fixed. I also tried to flash ROM first, then log on to system, then flash kernel, makes no difference. I really don't have a clue why KT747 kernel doesn't work on my phone, any suggestion is welcome.

I would suggest you to do a complete clean installation:
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Format /system
5. Format / data
6. Format / cache
7. Reboot recovery
8. Wipe data
9. Wipe Cache
10. Wipe dalvik
11. Mount /System
12. Install Rom
13. Install Gapp
14. Fix permission
15. Reboot & Setup your phone
16. Install Kernel
17. Wipe Cache
18. Wipe dalvik
19. Fix permission
It should be fine then.

Rom is supposed to be flashed first. If you don't it overwrites the kernel with the one pre-loaded on with the Rom.Otherwise follow everyone else's instructions >Cache/Dalvik/FixPerms after flash. Go into settings and see that the kernel is there. Good luck

[Q] Navigation keeps waiting for my location

I have been jumping from one rom to the other for quite a few days now and recently I noticed that my navigation does work anymore
I am currently on Liquid Smooth but have not been able to get this to work on many other ROMs like PA 2.55/ PK 1.40 or Task & Ktoonsez.
I have flashed the latest gapps. I also make sure I do a clean install every time I flash a new rom (wide data/factory, cache, dalvik and then I also did a format /system and format /data).
For some reason, apps like Weather, that need to find my location , are able to get it right and show me correct location results.
Could someone please help ?

[Q] Softbrick Remics 1.8

Hi there
I have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions, flashed Remics 1.8 and Gapps 20120429 and i'm stuck at Remics boot animation.
I am trying for the second time, this time I wiped data, cache before flashing gaps too but it's booting for 15 minutes now and still waiting.
The ROM was released today so I have no feedback. Anyone tried it already?
Thanks

To make sure you have the full file try checking the size, download the file, check size, if same click cancel and if not same delete the incomplete version(sometimes it's just a network problem, happened to me before)
After checking you have full sizes, follow these steps:
(1) copying the files to you phone.
1- use CWM, connect usb to computer.
2- go to mounts and storage.
3- connect usb storage.
4- copy files to the phone's internal memory.
(2) flash the rom.
1- go to mounts and storage(again)
2-format /system /data /cache
3- go back and wipe data(just to make sure) then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
4- go back and flash rom and Gapps.
5- again go to advanced and but now fix permissions.
6-reboot and enjoy!

Didn't work but I guess it's a problem with the rom and the developer is trying to fix it, but thank you for your advise! :good:
