What's the easiest way to flash Kyan coming from Triune? I don't have a nandroid of stock due to a corrupted sd card... Do I need to flash stock using Odin first?

Wiping data, flashing kyanROM, and flashing a kernel seems to have worked.
You don't need to flash to stock unless your running cm10 make sure you wipe everything and then flash away

i updated my phone from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. i did a nandroid backup for the gingerbread. if i decided to go back to gingerbread, i just gotta go into recovery and do a restore? or do i gotta reset wipe factory again and wipe data,cache dalvik?

Before flashing anything even if it's nandroid, it is always best to wipe it clean.

And flash proper radio before restoring, if necessary

The recovery restore doesn't reflash my old radio and kernal? Cuz I'm not even sure what radio it had. So I pretty much need to do all the steps again like I'm flashing a new but use the the restore in place of flashing new rom.

The recovery restores everything (including kernel) but not the radio. I have switched back and forth between ics and gb a few times without ever wiping before a restore and never had a problem. I would argue its not necessary but certainly doesn't hurt.
So basically I was having issues with my phone and ended up getting a warranty replacement. So b4 I sent my old one back I needed to revert it back to stock. I found a flashable zip from zedomax that returned the stock kernel, recovery, and ROM. Only thing it was 2.3.5 gingerbread. I was running infamous 3.1 and did darkside super wipe and cache., well after flashing the zip I got the stock recovery, and part of stock boot animation, well after the stock boot animation then came the infamous animation then nothing. It wouldn't boot up past that.,I ended up using Odin and fixing it and converted stock that way. My question is... Is there a special method going from ics to gb?

Yeah just use odin or a flashable zip to return to stock no big deal
I know how to Odin and get stock...I'm asking if there's anything special to go from an ics ROM to a GB ROM? BC when I did it I soft bricked, using all the darkside
Wipes.

I have flashed from GB to ICS back and forth a few times never really had an issue like that the only real issue I have ever had was a few apps force closing but a quick wipe of the cache took care of that issue

don't use the CWM flashable zips. if you do you should flash the rom and kernel too? you probably did but sometimes it doesn't work correctly. I would suggest flashing via odin to get to stock then wipe data/factory reset through stock recovery. that is the cleanest method to get to stock. the CWM flashing to zip sometimes leave stuff behind from earlier flashes.
I am going to use Odin to flash back to stock on my wife's phone as Skype doesn't work(static on other end) on any newer rom I have tried (flashed about ten last night.. Cm/AOKP./etc).
Do I need to find a stock kernel or will everything go back to stock if I flash a stock rom and do a factory reset?
Thanks,

You don't need to flash kernel after flashing stock ROM with Odin.
Thanks so much.
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda premium
The kernel comes with any rom you download. If you want a different kernel, you flash the kernel of choice after you flash the rom.

I've flashed a few times on 4.3 roms and I want to know a way where I don't have to goto recovery and format data. I flashed a few before with TWRP 2.4/5. Now I have 2.6.3.0.. I'm running stock ZVC

So I'm guessing you want to bounce back and fourth installing stock and CM Roms without clearing data? Or different CM Roms for that matter.
I don't know much tech stuff, but every ROM is layed out differently. And stores it's info in different ways.
So a setting you have, for say Carbon might interfere with a setting in PAC.
That's my best way to explain it.

I'll say be in a custom ROM and don't have to keep formatting data to use the ROM again
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
You could always get a ROM running the way you like, create a back up and then flash a new one and repeat. Now when you want to switch ROMs its as easy as hitting the restore button.

Do you mean you don't want to lose files on your SD card? You don't have to format data every time you install a new rom. Factory reset - > wipe system - > wipe cache -> wipe d cache -> flash rom -> flash gapps
This will keep your actual files on your sd card for every rom you bounce to. If you mean Application data (login info, candy crush progression, etc...) use Titanium and backup before flashing a new rom and restore after.
Hope that helps!
Once you are on CM official you can update easily through the tool in settings. But to switch back and forth from CM to stock is quite difficult on this phone.

I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?
All of the roms on this forum work.. What are your exact steps?

Have they been tried on sgh-i317?
I did these exact steps:
Rooted phone and installed TWRP recovery
put AOKP Rom on SD card and booted into recovery mode
Wiped/Factory reset through recovery
rebooted into recovery
installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen
Have you installed gapps after flashing an aosp rom? I am running carbon rom right now... Earlier today I was on aokp. I have used them all and I have a I317. An att note 2

does not having the gapps installed prevent the phone from booting? ive booted a rom before without gapps and it booted.
was there something wrong with my steps? did you use the aokp milestone or nightlies? where did you get the carbon rom? its all good?
I used the latest aokp nightly. And right now I'm running the newest carbon nightly. I got it from the op of the carbon thread.

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g

I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)
