[Q] How to update your ROM.

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.

Apps are never wiped unless you wipe data/factory. Yes use titanium

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..

I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.

so are those the steps i need?

and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?

Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.

so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?

Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.

sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"

'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.

will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?

If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.

Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?

Thank you so very much!!!!

No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.

You're a life saver!!!

If I flash back to the GB ROM that's available when I use EMMA (when I tried earlier it is the only "service" that came up). Then do the steps outlined here, will it work? Or should i use the 4.0.4 ROM in the link that you provided? -> http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/399620/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic_Global.ftf

And i rebooted from cwm

See and follow this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38538332&postcount=710 Try another kernel - Vegance
BTW: Why do not you asked this question in the subject line of the ROM or theme to the Q & A for this ROM? Here we assume subjects with questions!

so i isntall the kernal which i have to downlaod to get stock rom?
Or i can do SOny Update service and restore?

Try first install another kernel. Vegance http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097138 but flash this only FASTBOOT.
If this does not not work try a clean install like this:
Turn on ur phone now then keep pressing volume down to enter CWM.
. Standard operation before installing new rom :
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount and storage -> format /system
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
- advanced -> wipe battery stats
. Now install zip from sdcard -> choose the UHD zip file, and follow the instruction in aroma. After finish don't reboot yet.
. Unchecked the reboot in aroma, after finish, u will be back in cwm.
. Now install the wifi modules first ( usually the custom kernel have their own wifi modules).
. reboot system.
. Finish
If this does not not help try the tutorial you sent in from the beginning.

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

No,he must flash rom after FULL wipe, if you read the full thread you will see he has already attempted to flash a rom so he needs to do a full wipe to remove any remains of the previous attempt!!

the steps I provided are the steps to ensure foolproof installation of ANY rom. go read the OP of ViperX 4.0.6, it states there that for "full roms, must perform a full wipe"
