[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...

best app is titanium backup

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

[Q] Problem installing CM9

Hi, I tried to install that ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
Installation seems to go properly but after rebooting nothing happens, just a black screen (I waited 30 minutes for something to occur, so don't tell me I don't have patience). But After that I couldn't neither run the backup recovery, and bricked my phone. Thanks god I was able to install stock firmware using Odin.
And now here goes my question:
What could have possibly gone wrong with the CM9 install? (I wiped the data/cache after installation)

Bad download maybe, as nobody ever reported this

Is it possible to install it via Odin or just from CWM?

Just from cwm.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

I had the same, but if you flash it again, then wipe data and cache and then reboot, no problem at all

try this methode.
wipe data >> flash via cwm >> wipe data again..
hope, it can help..

[Q] how to install cf-root?

how do i install cf-root.first i install with ext4 recovery and format my device to ext4 and then when i install cf-root and then i reboot my phone is and just stuck on "galaxy gio" logo.does am i done a wrong method?

You need to make a nandroid backup, then flash ext4formatter, then restore your backup and flash cf-root
Format = clean
So everything gets wiped, you wiped everything and then installed a kernel, but it has no system to run so it cant boot

extformatter is the same as wiping.
it wipes every partition on your phone, and then sets the filesystem to use EXT4 instead of RFS.
first flash a stock rom again, or restore your backup if you had one.
instructions:
- install custom recovery supporting EXT4
- do a nandroid backup
- flash ext4formatter.zip
- restore nandroid
- flash cf-root
-reboot

thanks now i m should be able to install adrenaline engine

[Q]Sticks on bootscreen after restoring backup

hi,
a few days ago I installed Chobits digitalis v2. I made a back-up with cwm. But, I wanted to go back to the stock rom, so I restored the backup, but it sticks on the first boot screen(see attachment)
Then I installed chobits digitalis again and it worked. But how can i get my backup or the stock rom back without losing my data?
Thank you!

Always Make data/cache wipe before restoring a backup.

Backup your apps with Titanium Backup so you can restore them in other ROMs.
When restoring to stock ROM, if you get a bootloop then enter recovery mode, wipe data/cache and reboot.
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

I made a data/cache wipe, but it didnt work. But actually i want the data from my backup back..
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA

the reason i think is the kernel
you cannot restore the CWM backup because the kernel is different . go back to stock kernel first

Hi,
I still have chobits digitialis v2 and I tried to install the EVO-X2 rom. And, offcourse, I had the problem again. Can somebody tell me step by step what I have to do to install the EVO-X2 rom?
Thanks!
EDIT: Anybody?

Anybody?

You can try to format your system, then wipe data and then install the rom

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.
