Flashing a ROM (JellyTime)

I got a simple question about flashing a rom, at this point its JellyTime.
I'm not really familiar with the order that you need to flash and if you need to flash the kernel separately?
My order is now:
- clean/wipe
- Flash ROM
- Flash gapps
- fastboot flash boot.img (is this step required, or does this already happen when flashing the ROM?)
Then the follow-up question is, does it affect the ROM when you boot the first time with an older kernel?

You can flash the kernel basically anytime. I usually dirty flash kernels with no problem.
Also, no need to fastboot the boot.img. The rest of your order looks fine.

My order :
- format all partitions (except sdcard)
- wipe cache/dalvik
- Flash ROM
- Flash gapps
- fixing permissions
- Reboot
But i think your steps should be fine as well.

How do you fix permissions ?
When I flashed gapps I saw that in the end its fixing permissions. Do I need to something manually ?

You can fix permissions using recoveries like 4ext and stuff...remember to wipe cache and davlik if you are flashing just kernel.

Like he said use recovery 4ext there's an option at "tools".

Wiping cache+dalvik cache is redundant after formatting all partitions. A lot of people have this habit and recommend it, but its unnecessary. Dalvik-cache is located in the data partition. It's nothing special, its a folder there like any other, and contains classes.dex files for all apps on the device. When you format all partitions, data is formatted, so the dalvik-cache is wiped along with it. And the cache partition is formatted anyway. So wiping cache+dalvik again after formatting all partitions is of no use and unnecessary.

You don't need to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing a kernel. I used to do it too, but many times the devs themselves have said it isn't required. Lord Clockan said many times that wiping cache+dalvik is unnecessary after flashing a new kernel. When you think about it, it makes sense. Dalvik cache just contains classes.dex files for all the apps on the device and nothing else. When the dalvik-cache is rebuilt after a wipe, it pulls the classes.dex from each apk and puts it in the dalvik-cache folder (please correct me if I'm wrong). This isn't in any way related to the kernel and what it does. Regardless of the kernel flashed, the dalvik cache will remain the same. So it shouldn't make sense to wipe it for every kernel flash.

Hello, I did all of the steps in this order and ROM is booting OK. But after that I have random freezes while doing different tasks (taking picture, going to settings, after unlock). Do you have any suggestions what can I do/change to fix this. This is happening on all Jelly Time releases - i tried R3, R4, R5.1 and also AOKP V6. When I flash IcoColdSandwich everything is running without problem.
I will appreciate your help. Thank you!

My order :
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- Flash ROM
- Flash gapps
- fixing permissions
- Reboot

Thanks, that makes it clear.
So its possible that you flash the kernel when you are flashing the ROM!

[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] HTC Desire HD 4.2.x ROM Process Stopped Help

Current ROM JellyTime - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827590
Rom Manager v5.5.1.5.
Current Recovery ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0.
So I use Rom Manager to reboot into Recovery, where I wipe dalvik-cache, cache partition and data/factory reset. I then flash the zip, followed by gapps
Tried the following ROMS

http://goo.im/gapps - I used the top one CyanogenMod - 10.1.x - 4.2.1.
When booted, I get two messages, press OK and they both continue to appear
"unfortunately system ui has stopped"
"unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"
It appears as I have only just signed up, I cannot ask the Devs direct. I have searched through threads, and can see some others with same problem - no solution though. About to try a dirty flash from Jellytime.
Thanks

I wipe dalvik-cache, cache partition and data/factory reset - is this not enough?

I forgot the menu of cwm recovery,I use 4ext... Is there any option like format all partitions except sdcard

Ok so, CWM "Wipe Menu" :
wipe dalvik-cache
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache and cache partition
wipe battery stats
wipte data/factory reset

Try to
wipe data, cache and dalvik again
then manually (in the advanced menu if I recall correctly):
format boot
format system
<...> (everything except sdcard)

I've taken a look, and nothing relating to formatting is under Advanced.
Under Mounts and Storage Menu however, there is the following:
unmount /cache
mount /data
unmount /sdcard
mount /system
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /system
mount USB storage

Yep there.
format /cache
format /data
format /system

Rightyho, well I cleared dalvik & cache (from the Wipe menu)
Then into Mounts & Storage Menu and formatted the 3 above.
Then flashed the ROM followed by Gapps, but still system UI and com.android.phone stopping

Seems like the gapps flashed is the wrong one.. I got the same problem as yours when i was flashing 4.2.1 rom with gapps for 4.1.2.. after that i realized and use the correct one and it boot up perfectly..

That's right. Download the correct gapps for your Android version. http://goo.im/gapps has a properly categorised list.

Thats weird.. if you have already format everything except sdcard, and flash the rom only, and still got the same problem, then the cause is either from the cwm,which is quite outdated, or the rom itself.. but i doubt the rom is the culprit... try use ext4 recovery or update the latest cwm.. or maybe wait for someone who have a better solution..

Sorry but I am currently running Jellytime, but trying to flash TO 4.2.x AOSP codefirex - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003273

Try to remove SD card. Just in case, as it all seems a bit mysterious.

Im not sure about updating cwm, because i changed it to ext4 recovery after cwm 5.0.70 that came with aahk cannot do backup correctly for me.. but if you would like to try ext4 recovery, you can find it in google play.. and it is very easy to install it..

Thanks for the replies, sorry I was busy over the weekend.
I tried booting 4.2.x with no SD, and same error occurs.
I am not interested in trying 4EXT, CWM is a widely used custom recovery I can't see why this could be at fault? I am running the latest version, though not the "touch" version!
Can't find anyone else with this issue!

BTW - I am S-ON?

Any further help or advice on this one?
Thank you.

I would try 4ext. CWM has had some problems on thus phone in the past. Also, if you are S-ON, are you fastboot flashing the boot.img? Check the Ace Think Tank thread in the General forum for a guide on how to do that. Though usually, not doing that results in a phone that hangs at the splash screen, not one with systemui stopping...

Try this method
#1-Flash stock rom using odin
#2-Go to cwm
#3-Mount all partitions
#4-Install CyanogenMod#2 kernel
#5-Back and go to Advance then REBOOT RECOVERY
#6-You are on cwm now and the fonts are small
#7-Go to mounts and Format system,data,cache
#8-Dont press back -Mount all partitions
#9-Install zip from sd card-choose zip then choose The Rom
#10-When it is done flashing -Wipe Data - tHEN REBOOT

Do this.
1. Go to cwm recovery
2. Clear data and wipe cache
3. Go to advance :- wipe dalvik cache and battery states.
4. Go to mount & storage :- format system, data & cache.. dont format sd.
5. Then mount everything expect sd-ext.
6. Flash kernel.
7. Go to advance reboot recovery.
8. Again wipe data & cache.
9. go to advance and again wipe dalvik cache & battery states.
10. Mount everything expect sd-ext
This time you dont need to format system, data, or cache in mount.
11. Finally flash rom and reboot.
Hope it work.

Do a clean installation:
I assumed that you already saved cm9 rom and cm9 gapps in your external sd-card so, boot into recovery mode then,
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system.
under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)
install cm9 rom
install cm9 gapps
reboot your phone
