You're going to want to wipe dalvik and cache (as you always should when Flashing something). Possibly even battery stats if you want to play it safe

Treat kernels just like you do roms I don't want you to be paranoid

Don't wipe data
Do wipe cache
I never wipe battery stats, but I suppose you could.

Exactly...
Just make sure to ONLY wipe cache and dalvik cache. This will ensure that the kernel is flashed correctly with no traces of the previous kernel. Again, like said previously, treat flashing kernels as you do flashing ROMs. It's easy, and if anything goes wrong (rarely ever happens, unless you use a kernel not designed for the EVO, LoL) then it can always be undone by reflashing
Good luck and enjoy! You'll be fine br0

For completeness....(? it's Christmas)
Due to some possible wipe (recovery) issues:
Wipe cache , twice.
Wipe Dalvick , twice.
IIRC

Thanks all for your help. I looked at a couple of different kernels, which one do yall think is the best mainly for the battery anyway?

I'm running SBC-net 4.2.2. And it runs great for me. Good battery and is smooth.

Do you have a link that I can download that kernel?

How to flash a new ROM

Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.
On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:
Open CWM
Backup
Install Darkside SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Install Darkside Cachewipe
Reboot
Wait 10 min
Reboot.
While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.
If there's a process can someone please tell me.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.

So does SuperWipe work for every phone?
My .zip file for SuperWipe says SGH-T989_Darkside_superwipe.zip

I would not use the super wipe script from The s2 I believe there is one floating around for ours but I do not use it ... I also recommend u use twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod

This is what I did 2 days ago to install AOKP JB Build 3 and its been working like a charm
Reboot recovery
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot
Haven't had any SOD or RR, should I stick to what I did?

yeah my bad...i also flashed gapps..i forgot to put that in there..
So, should I just stick to what I did previously?

I depends what u are looking for in a ROM..... if u like stock aosp then aokp is probably the most stable but there are tons of features on touchwiz ROMs that have me going back and forth... so its all preference really if u like stock jellybean
Then u are good where u are

Yes but the superwipe does the same thing and it was built for lazy people. I always say "what ever floats your boat". :good:

[Q] Noob question...

First, I'm not a troll (ololololol)
My question is simple : Can I change rom only by wiping data and cache ?
I mean, I'm using CM9 yet, and I'd like to go to EQDKP (for full working rom). Do I have to wipe everything, partition sdcard again and do all that kind of stuff, or wiping data and cache are enough ?
I'm using Data2SD on Speed Droid, it may change the way to change rom (as I said, I'm a noob, if it doesn't change anything, please do not pray to send me to hell hahaha)
Thank you, sorry for my newbie situation, and Peace !
If a thread has already been done about this, I'm sorry to create a new one. The XDA app research is a bit... bad

Normally you just need to wipe data system dalvik and bat stats
To give you a good clean install if you don't wipe em you could encounter white HTC frozen screen it some other bugs
Cheers!

Just a data wipe is enough if you are moving to a completely different rom. Most roms wipe system automatically. You wont need to wipe anything if you are just updating

I never wipe battery stats, I've flashed many ROMs and never had a problem. I usually wipe data, cache and system then flash the ROM. But if you think wiping the battery stats help then go for it

[Q] Flashing Rom/ Kernel CDMA JB PACman

Hello everyone, it has been a long time since I have messed with ROMs. The last time I did install one was for my Samsung Intercept which was for some reason a whole bunch easier than for this phone.
Now on subject, I cannot seem for the life of me get a rom or kernel to actually install on this device.
Steps I have taken for PACman rom:
1. Put device into fastboot and flash jellyboot.img
2. after I do that I put the phone into recovery and wipe dalvik/ cache (I didn't wipe system is that my problem?)
3. I install the pacmanrom.zip then I reboot the phone normally
Now here is what happens, the phone boots past the HTC with red letters screen then into the PACMAN logo screen, from here it does not get anywhere after 10+ minutes.
My best guess is that I am flashing the wrong kernel and that I didn't wipe system.
Now, I am restoring the phone and going to try to replace the kernel with an ics one.
All help is appreciated

So, by wiping data which option under TWRP would that be? Sorry coming from CWM 2.0 its been a long time :silly:
I also was able to restore the phone with a nand and JMZ's ICS kernel. although I haven't noticed any of the new things on it that it said I was supposed to recieve. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844049
EDIT: I have been reading around, I have seen some similar problems with the TWRP 2.2.X recovery.. I have no idea where to find the 2.3.X recovery, if someone could find that I'd love to re-flash recovery and try again and see if that did the trick.
Reason why it might be recovery: might not be flashing correctly and a new recovery might fix it.

Alright I will flash the 2.3.1 TWRP ASAP, and I will get back to this thread to see how it goes, thank you for the indepth explanation, I needed it because everyone else was being vague around the forums.

Anytime I know how it is if I can be more assistance let be know

Hmm, well this is strange.
I recieved an error referring to not being able to mount /sd-ext while doing the factory reset
something like this:
formating /system:
Done!
formatting mde_____ (I forgot )
Done!
E: Not able to mount /sd-ext
then it says failed, I just recleaned my SD card hoping that would do the trick (re-format).

When u do any wipes it will always say cannot format sdcard which is good cause if it did it would wipe just like when u back up it will say same and not back up sdcard so don't mind that as for it failing try to re download ur file and try again sometimes u have to make sure the zip signatures is off or it will fail

Thank you very much brother! Wiping my tab and installing each zip individually worked! Did a full wipe and delvik wipe than install the sealV4 zip. Than did both cache wipes, and installed the kernel and worked like a charm. You rock!
