Hello guys, I would like to know how to update my ROM using dalvik cache? I have Foxhound ROM 0.3 and i would like to install the 0.4. Can anyone help me ?
Hi Mate
You don't update using the Dalvik Cache. The Dalvik Cache is just something that is best to clear before an update.
In order to flash a new ROM there are a few things you need to have set up on your computer and phone and they are well detailed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
Read the above thread and find out what has already been done. I think your phone will be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted already. If so flash the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod CWM and then just download the ROM you want and store it on your phone. Once done you will be able to use the above link to easily write it to your phone using CRM and the Flash Update from SD Card Option.
Hope this helps.

Ummm. he doesn't have to read that thread..
Just simply download the ROM
Put it on your phone's storage
Boot into CWR
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Flash ROM
[OPTIONAL] Flash Kernel (if you used one a custom kernel)

If you flash another rom, will your apps be wiped as well? And if you flash an update from the same rom? Just back-up with Titanium or? Thanks.

So..
AFter couple of tries i have to ask you guys : how to fully wipe my phone after and before flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
I did wipe data/factory reset in CWM but internal memory is still there... So it was not full wipe.. Although when i flashed rom i got that initial setup, but internal memory was intact...
So, how to do full wipe before and after flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
Thanks in advance

a full wipe is formatting system, data and caches not sure if odin formats system

Hi, to make things easier for you. Download Zoot's Super Wipe Script at the Android Development Section. It's a few pages back but it's worth a look
Was searching for Zoot's Super Wipe Script at Android development.. Cant find it...
p.s. and if i do full wipe before and after flashing rom, wouldn't that erase my rom because of system wipe ?

To answer your question, yes it will. And do a full wipe BEFORE not after flashing a ROM.
Here's the link for the script. Merry Christmas!

If i do full wipe with script before flash (including system wipe) would i be able to flash 4.1.2 via odin then ?? I mean, ive heard that it is only firmware update.. Thanks again
Are you trying to go back to stock? Or flash a custom ROM? Sorry, didn't get you there.

Im on 4.1.2 french stock dll4 atm.. And i have pinch to zoom lag when zooming pictures.. A lot of ppl told me to do full wipe and then flash again 4.1.2 dll4 via odin and it will go away... I did wipe (without wiping system) before flash... And it is there again... So ppl told me to do wipe before and after flash..
So, im trying to do full wipe, flash 4.1.2 again via odin, then wipe after flash...

Ah. You will be able to flash it via Odin. But do not wipe or use the suoer wipe script AFTER. Just do it before flashing. Use the Mega Wipe from the AROMA of Zoot's script.
But be aware, it will erase your internal SD card as well so move every important thing to the external.

ok, go to recovery and do a full wipe, format cache, data, system and sdcard.
mount storage and copy the rom to sdcard.
copy the boot.img from the rom zip and put it into your fastboot folder on pc.
now go to bootloader and enter fastboot, now run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then "fastboot erase cache".
now back to recovery and flash the rom

Hi everyone. Just guy my note tablet. Rooted with towlie.

Finding a bit of confusion on which TWRP I should install. I did one with Odin, and it didn't take.
Can someone point me to right file and/or directions if i need to downgrade first?
I want to start playing and customizing, but cannot back up or reflash.

Have heard a few things about needing an Odin firmware downgrade. Is that necessary with my firmware? And should I use Odin, or ADB?
Really appreciate the info. I want to tinker, but without working recovery, I'm a bit Leary.

I currently have no recovery. I tried flashing 2.8 originally.
How would i clear cache, data, and all before trying to flash 2631?

No, you flash TWRP 2631, then boot into the twrp then select advance then put a check for cache, davik cache and data, then swipe. Once done just flash your rom. I would copy the rom to the download folder on the internal storage (/sdcard/download/) before flash your new twrp.
Is 2.6.3.3 more reliable / stable in terms of making / restoring nandroids? I just got my new Note last week (p607t) and flashed xKat with TWRP at one point, restoring apps from (some with data to avoid re-entering account info or redoing complex settings...) I have had one problem however, when I was almost done restoring, I noticed that I was getting fc's, particularly with games that required an internet connection. I wiped dalvik and cache in TWRP, then hit fix permissions, which I think screwed everything up (maybe due to the bootloader / firmware base mismatch). Anyway, my most recent nandroid was with the fresh xKat install, but fixing permissions caused this weird "hot"-bootloop where it skipped the boot animation but start loading immediately after rebooting, but then freezing before all boot tasks had completed (ex. some optimizations on boot with Android Tuner Pro, FolderMount mounting folders, loading xposed modules...)
Not wanting to re-restore, I first just tried dirty-flashing the ROM again (only wiped dalvik and cache, but did something I hadn't tried before: in the wipe menu I hit "repair partition" for system and data, pre-flash). Luckily it worked and set everything straight... but just want to make sure, 2.6.3.3 is still recommended as the most stable version (in my experience, fixing permissions in recovery can be very hit or miss on any version)?
2 questions before I roll back my recovery, I think these "killer features" (totally serious, #2 has been huge since I got a couple of the newish flash drives with micro usb on one side and regular usb on the other) of TWRP were implemented in 2.6.3.3, but just want to make sure: can you 1) compress nandroids and 2) mount a USB OTG drive and flash from or backup to it? Thanks all, really loving my new Note (massive upgrade from my Note 8!)

I HAVE flashed 2631 for the qualcomm lte.
I've done or several times since you told me that's the best version.
IT WILL NOT BOOT INTO TWRP. it's a scrambled screen. That's all. No touch options. No check boxes. After a minute, tablet reboots itself. I am on stock firmware still. Rooted.
Maybe I should just try CWM. never had this much problems with twrp on any other device.

How about wipe cache/davikcache/data with your stock recovery (just reflash your stock recovery). After that let it boot up, then power down and flash twrp. Once done, don't boot up, boot back to twrp . Let me know how it goes.
Cool. I can try that when I get home. Do you have a link handy for the stock recovery?

No, but most people would flash gapps 6 too, else you will miss a lot (must be done at the same time as the ROM the first time to set permissions)

Copy CM13 rom and gapp in your sd card.
Backup your old firmware through twrp.
Do a factory Reset from Wipe.
And install CM13 and gapp respectively.
And enjoy ^_^

checked every file hash matches, did exactly as written, done all of above and it doesn't work
TWRP went on in less than 10 second does that sound normal ? and how do you know if its actually on there?
Nope. Installation take atleast 2 or 3 minutes.
and if its installed properly you would have seen different rom from the stock.
Here is what i use for s4 mini(i9192). Also used it on i9190 model as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-25-apr-2016-t3366314
and these steps mentioned in the website.
A. Initial install
1. Copy ROM and Gapps to your external SD Card or internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and Gapps
5. Reboot
Its simple. Should have worked.
I hope you have installed your model rom.

In TWRP Swipe for factory reset will do the job. you can also do dalvik /art cache in advance wipe. System or other wipe never did it for changing roms.

Ie that enough only to make WIPE FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE is not necessary to the FORMAT SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE ??
sorry i do not understand.
to install a rom just do a factory reset. nothing else is necessary.
If you do not do factory reset, sometimes you will not be able to install a new version of rom(for example, from kitkat to lollipop).
if you do not do factory reset its called dirty flash.
for example
you are using custom rom cm13. and it has a new update released, you go in twrp recovery and install the updated rom without doing factory reset. this way you can keep all the application and data you have.
i hope i am making some sense. it is hard for me to explain.
well do some flashing and you will understand but always make a backup.
