Hello everyone.
I am fairly new to Galaxy Nexus (but not new to Android ROM flashing). How do I install JellyBelly? Currently I am rooted with BL unlocked. Please answer the following questions:
- Do I need CWM for JellyBelly?
- Do I need to wipe/factory reset (I am on yakju 4.0.4)
- Exactly when do I flash "JellyFix"? Right after I flash the ROM?
- Does the ROM has any issues (i.e battery life, volume, hw problems etc.)
- Do you advise to install this ROM, or instead wait for the official Google's OTA?
Now I could have easily found answers to this in the original thread, but the search functionality is unavailable for me and I am not in the mood of going through 100s of pages. I would really appreciate it if someone answers these questions for me.
You do need CWM
You would have to wipe data & cache
So far I have not encountered any bugs, everything runs completely smooth. (Project Butter )
I saw you flash now, I promise you will not regret it.

Poster above me practically answered everything. Except that, most roms now, you don't need to flash "JellyFix" or whatever, because their roms have been updated to include the fix internally, so you just flash the rom and you're good. But for the sake of completeness, yes, you would flash the fix for whatever problem after you flash the rom.

is my data lost after updating to jelly bean?

You're gonna be wiping your device to install a ROM (CDMA or GSM phones) or wiping your device to flash an image (GSM phones). Either way you lose it all.
If you want to keep your data use titanium backup.

Not the stuff on your sdcard. As for your app data, you can easily use Titanium Backup to back it up before hand, and restore it after.

Hi all,
I received notification to upgrade to Jelly bean but the process fail.
I am on 4.0.4 stock + root franko kernel (but flashed back to stock) + busybox.
I have a feeling it is busybox that prevents the OTA.
Is this right? How can i uninstall/restore system so that OTA works?
FYI: I have too many data settings on my phone, don't want to wipe everything. So my understanding is that custom roms are not for me.
Thx in advance...

4.0.4 Stock Radio & Recovery?

Radio is stock.
Recovery is CMW, but tried after flashing back stock recovery, no luck. Also tried to upgrade manually with the downloaded upgrade file using CWM ; i get status 7 error...
Right, no more feedbacks, I guess I will have to wipe everything out. painful, but I guess I have no other choice.
So my understanding is that the thing to do is to flash full 4.0.4 stock image. Is there any chance I can do that without loosing everything that is on my phone?
what is it I have to wipe, clear and so on?
Last, if i go down that route, I might as well consider a custom ROM: important question, when a custom rom evolves (update, new version...) will I also have to wipe everything and start again with a 'factory reset' phone ?
Thanks

To go back to the stock ROM, unfortunately you will lose everything.
EDIT: Using the conventional method but as efrant has stated below, you can do it without losing all your data.
When a new version of a custom ROM comes out, you can just 'dirty' flash it without a factory reset but sometimes you might get errors/bugs popping up though generally it's fine.
Flash the imm76i system image and boot images only. The apply the update in cwm. It should work without wiping data.

I've changed rom on my italian TIM LGP350 phone about sep/oct of 2012 with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610605.
The image that was avalable at that time was the CyanogenMod-7-20120916-NIGHTLY-P350 and after some work to understand how to use it, it go up well and I'm still satisfied with it.
I've recently tried to reconnect (I stop to use my bt earphone) my bt earphone (http://www.cellularline.com/catalog...ari_bluetooth_cellular_line/dualphone_headset)
that with original rom work great, but now the phone dont recognize it.
I've tried with my pc with bluetooth and the earphone work fine with skype and pther programs.
I read in the thread that in the meantime the rom for my phone go on and now there's a better version (ty for the work guys).
Just to evade the huge work that I do first time to use the first rom (as noob to evade problems there're so many things to read and not only in this forums ^^. things dont seems so clear at first read) and the loss of configuration for all apps installed, what's the right things i must do to install the new version? I cant still talk in that thread (restriction of my noob state), so I asked here. ^^
- use rom manager to put "ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4 Recovery" version on the 5.0.2.8 version that i use first time (and that I still have)
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik-cache
- copy then the new rom on SD and then use ClockworkMod on it
If this is the right way, I'll lose some apps configuration again, I'll lose only the cyanogen configuration or I only see the new version (with new stuff) without lose anything? I need to backup something just to be sure, before use new rom version? ^^
thank you for answers
If you are only using CyanogenMod 16/9/2012 and want to update your phone to the lastest version of the same rom, you just need to download ROM, put on SD, Wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash it and enjoy.
If you are using CyanogenMod 16/9/2012 and want to change ROMs, you will need to do the steps that are avaliable on that page of the ROM. And if you are worried about apps, download Titanium Backup and do some Backups just in case =D

I need just to update the version of same rom, anyway I'll follow your advice to backup ^^
With original branded one my phone was so slow, while with this one i gain at least 50% of speed ^^;
Now I like to use my BT earphone so I hope that with updated one version I can at least to connect the BT to answer call ^^
You should too follow the news on the topic so you can be update with the development of CyanogenMod 7.

Just update Clockwork and Rom. All go right and I dont have a problem.
Unfortunately seems that my phone still dont recognize my BT earphone... lol
I'll need to wait if someone will find a way to make it work ^^
ty for help, this was my first update of recovery and rom so I was still worried to what to do. ^^
Back in the day of early development of custom ROM for the device, it was pointed out that either BT device recognition work or the offline charging, but due to some unknown reason these two don't work at the same time...
What you can do, as I did months ago, use stock ROM, flash custom kernel, overclock...
Why now I'm using custom ROM? Because I sold my BT earpiece...

i have posted some link about bt in cm7 thread few days ago
wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache and flash the ROM
Ok I wrote this for the OP of my ROM because the issues some people were PMing me about were just plain out dumb, This phone has been out quite a long time and still almost every thread I goto, you got people flashing in way's I didn't even know were possible and posting weird issues that were not being reproduced by the community. so I'm just gonna post this guide for all the developers sake and in hopes the people that actually need this information, receive it before posting and clogging up development threads
If you're having issues on rom's that no one else is reporting, or the DEV has not reproduced on his phone, read the following.
1) Full wipe
2) Do not restore System data or data from CWM
3) Do not dirty flash from other ROM's
4) When was the last time you did a odin to stock? this is important in my opinion and I'm not saying you need to do one but I just want to explain that custom zip's that I make and other dev's make in the shape of "roms" only affect
a few partitions on your device, other's do not get touched and can get messy/corrupt over the months (This explains why the GPS icon disappears in some peoples cases during rom switch) and this is why I get posts in this thread about people wondering why their baseband hasn't been updated after flashing my rom when my post states "MF1"
With this being said my personal rule of thumb is to odin to stock latest and then boot into stock recovery and factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik (BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER), this gives your phone fresh partitions everywhere, a fresh system to root and the latest bootloader (which you need for any AOSP 4.2 rom). This is also a good time to unlock your phone if you have not already, then reroot and install custom recovery, update the recovery if need be and flash again on a brand new system. here are my steps
1) backup all user apps and data with titanium backup, DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APP'S
2) backup internal storage onto PC
3) Odin to stock latest
4) wait for phone to boot then reboot into stock recovery and full wipe and clear all cache
5) reboot and root the phone and custom recovery
6) flash away and put what you need on your internal storage back onto your phone via usb, see my 2nd set of instructions below
this fixes more issues then you will realize. some of the way people flash rom's on XDA and complain to me with problems is rather funny considering I have the install instructions in the OP, not to mention many of you rooted your phone when you first got it in the ICS 4.0.4 day's and haven't done an odin to stock jellybean to update all your partitions including your bootloader, now I will go over my every day flashing step's.
1)backup all USER APPS/DATA with titanium backup, DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APP'S (skip this if you did a odin flash to stock)
2)reboot recovery
3)nandroid (skip this if you did a odin flash to stock)
4)factory reset, wipe system, wipe both cache/dalvik
5)install rom
6)boot system
7)*(OPTIONAL) reboot to install a kernel now if needed, always wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions after installing a kernel
8)setup phone and download titanium backup from the market
9)restore all user apps and data (you will have to put the titanium backup folder that is backed up on your computer back onto your internal storage via usb first)
Every 6 months, backup internal storage to PC and I odin to stock, much like formatting a computer
6 months is actually a long time considering how much I flash, but this device can take a beating let me tell you =P
I DO THIS WITH EVERY ROM I INSTALL, AOSP or TW
Great info, that is actually my same process when I have an issue with anything
Good read. A lot of common sense for seasoned flashers, will be great for people who are unsure.

s3 unrooting issues
I have been having some big problems with unrooting my telus SGH I747 Galaxy s3. I have flashed the stock rom using odin, did a factory reset and wiped cache and everytime i reboot it loads up the same roms i had on there at first. I have had a lot of issues with roms as well such as slow messaging times, echoing voice calls using AOKP and when i use an AOSP rom i cant connect to my phone carriers data connection at all. I read this form and decided its probably a good idea to re root as you said due to updates or whatever else but now im runing into this issue. I have ask on other forms and no one seemed to have heard of this issue. If anyone has any ideas or knows a fix i would really appreciate the help.

So scrap the unrooting issue i have that figured out now, i just reinstalled the rom and again it doesnt have data, it is the deadly venom rom, anyone else that i know who is using this rom has absolutely no problem. I have tried a few fixes i have found via youtube, google, etc.... but none were successful. If anyone knows a fix or has any ideas please let me know.
I have an I747M S3 from a friend and trying to get it back to stable stock. It had lost it's IMEI and some NVdata corruption but I was able to resolve that searching the forums, But it has issues with apps crashing and rebooting quiet frequently. It can sometimes go feeling pretty stable ofr awhile then just kind of blows up. I have cleared away the flash counter and restored factory stock images from Odin and Keis, still having the issues. Is there a partion or something that could be getting missed? Or possible further problems related to the NVdata issues?
if you have any ideas I would appreciate it.
I used twrp to back up system, data, and boot, should I still use titanium back up to back up anything else, or is that enough to be relatively safe?
So I've watched some videos online for how to upgrade to the rom, but they seem to be for everything but GB27.
For example this link http://www.thefortressofnerditude.c...b-7132013-to-epic-4g-touch-samsung-galaxy-s2/
Anyways, I wanted to upgrade to Revolt Rom 4+ here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238252
I have my phone already rooted with my GB27. Do I need to downgrade or upgrade to something else first? Do I do that after? Are there any videos for specifically a d710 with GB27?
I've seen the directions on the revolt rom page here however I have questions.
]If coming from anything other than ReVolt ROM:
1-Wipe Data
2-Wipe Cache
3-Wipe Dalvik-Cache
4-Flash ReVolt JB ROM
5-Wipe Cache
6-Wipe Dalvik-Cache
7-Flash Latest Android 4.2.2 Google Apps
8-Reboot & Enjoy !
4- How do I flash with that rom? I have Odin mobile installed, but what file do I select? Do I copy over the still zipped folder?
7- What does this even mean? Does installing the revolt rom not already flash the phone with the latest android system?
I am sorry for the probably very simple and noob like questions. I have been building computers for a decade and am used to being in the 'advanced user pool', but this is all BRAND new and I have no idea what I am doing. Example: I had to watch a video just to root my phone.
Can someone please help? I'm sick to death of my phone but can't really afford a new one at the moment, so I figured a new OS would be pretty spankin' awesome.
To flash ReVolt or any AOSP ROMs you need clockworkmod or Team Win Recovery.

What kernel does your phone have currently, this is important. You say you are rooted, so it shouldn't be stock and probably has a custom recovery. NEVER unzip the rom just drag it to your external sd. #7 is nothing to do with the rom per say, it lets you use google play store. This phone the D710 is easily bricked, if you don't flash the right rom. Read and re-read instructions, the search function is your friend, and so is patience. I could walk you thru doing this but you need to know the terminology to understand the steps......Let me know when you are ready.
The instructions on the rom page take for granted you have done this before, so some stuff is left out!

Hey bud, Following the steps on that external site you linked to will work. Only two things missing: (1) you need an ICS modem. Search Epic 4G Touch Android development thread stickies for how to get that. You can do this before or after flashing the ROM, but you won't have data (i.e. 3G) until you do it. Not a typo - ICS modem even though it's a JB ROM. (2) You need to check the md5 checksum before flashing the ROM zip. Do a search for how to check that. This is because a bad download can ruin your day and this verifies in advance that you have a good download.
You always have to flash GApps (Google Apps) because AOKP cannot include any of them due to licensing issues. Revolt is an AOKP ROM. You'll want those Google apps. Good luck. You'll get it figured out.

Kernel version : 3.0.31-1014481 Is that the correct bit of information? I think it is still stock, I mean it still has all those stupid bloatware applications. Don't unzip, got it. I would definitely want to use the google play store.
I'm trying to take this slow and eventually through in the towel and posted here because of how confused I was. That was after like 4 or 5 hours of reading, le' sigh.
I would love to get a walkthru, that is extremely generous of you! I'm ready whenever! (I desperately want a new os on my phone)

Thank you! I had no idea what all that talk about modems was. Will I still be able to use 4g and all that jazz once I....do something with that modem? How do you flash google apps? Will google apps be able to update itself in the future or will I always have to check online for new flashes?
And for that matter, will my OS update itself or will I have to keep reflashing my phone all the time?

I could search and copy links for you but you can also search. I told you where to find the ICS modem in my previous post. Go there. There are basic instructions for how to flash a modem in the same place. Revolt is AOKP (not AOSP, not TouchWiz). You flash GApps after you flash the ROM (follow guide for the ROM). It's one package. You can then update like normal through Play Store. ROMs do not update themselves (lol) but there's nothing to say you have to update it after you're satisfied with whatever you land on.
Like I said, the page you listed to begin with has all of the steps, even links to the files, and so you can just do what that says to do. Add to that list the two things I said were missing (flash an ICS modem, and learn how to verify MD5 check sum for a good download) and you'll be good to go... Okay?:good:
Just to update everyone I just recently updated to revolt rom with the extensive help of godzilla61!
I had been reading a lot and searching for what I could, but it was absolutely critical that this work perfectly, and the first time. I only have one phone for personal use AND work. Not only that but I am camping in Glacier National Park in a couple weeks and needed a good emergency phone just in case.
Anyways, Revolt Rom 4+ is working PERFECTLY. Data is just fine, gps works, and everything went extremely smoothly!
For anybody else who needs help and stumbled upon this forum post I used the following things.
This was revolt rom page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238252

Hi all. New to android and I'm coming from Windows. There's just so much source material to read over with varying methods. I need a few clarifications before I begin flashing.
I just recently unlocked my T989 I receive from a friend so that I could use it on AT&T and that put me on 4.0.3 ICS with UVLE1 Radio band. I've rooted using TWRP 2.7. That's what I've done so far.
I want to go from my current ICS to one of the 4.4.4 Paranoid or Beanstalk roms in the Android Dev subforum.Do I need to flash to the latest t-mobile Radio band first? I'm assuming the install guides from Para/Bean's thread just don't mention it because it's an obvious prerequisite? Are there any other steps I should be taking before flashing to the roms other than the Radio?
I just wasn't positive I could go straight from 4.0 to 4.4 without doing something in between.
Do a nandroid first, to fall back on.....and go for it!
First make sure you have the recommended recovery.
Nandroid backup in custom recovery.
Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash radio, then rom , then gapps. Done. ?
Thanks a ton, KJ. Your advice was invaluable. Decided to run Paranoid and it's sexy as fuark.
One thing to note for anyone else who ends up in my predicament. After installing the rom and gapps and booting it for the first time. Turn the phone off and head back into CWM/TWRP and do another factory reset if your WIFI doesn't work. I couldn't even get the WIFI to turn on. A google search on the issue made me think I fried the WIFI chip since that seemed to be a common issue with the S2, but a factory reset in recovery fixed it.
