Hi,
This is my first attempt at flashing ROMs. Any ROM I try gets stuck at boot animation. Only way for me to get out of it is to boot phone into download . Go into TWRP and do system reboot backup restore. I am currently stock VALHU2 rooted. I downloaded Goomanager /TWRP recovery as flash source. I went into browse compatible ROMs and selected the most current CM9 zip and downloaded. After, I went into flash ROMs ,Order & Flash selected. I then checked Wipe cache/dalvik cache partition, checked create backup, but did not check reset factory settings. Is not checking restet factory settings where I am going wrong.Thank you in advace for any input.

You shouldn't need to reset factory defaults. However, I Odin'd UVALH2 Last night and the phone refused to get past the Samsung screen until I did a factory reset.

How did you do a factory reset?
Yes, you do need to do a complete wipe/factory reset when going from Touchwiz to CM9.

Thought so. Thank you.
Hey man you flashing a ROM through Odin or recovery?
I always thought the purpose of odin was to completely wipe the internal storage back to stock. recovery, rom, data and all. Yet when i odin'ed back to stock-rooted and the rom went back to stock as well as recovery but all my apps were still there. wasnt a problem i just factory reset in stock recovery then downloaded goo manger and FrostyJB.
Did something go wrong for me or is this normal?
Odin only wipe system files. You manually habe to factory reset it inorder to wipe old data.

So I'm updating my firmware by flashing to the latest stock rom with Odin, then flashed CWM with odin, and now I'm trying to restore a NAND backup to get back to my previous CM rom and I'm stuck with a MD5 mismatch. So how do I fix this, keeping in mind that I'm now back on stock rom which just hangs on the samsung screen at boot. Funny, everyone in the dev section made this process sound painfully simple.

It is simple, just reboot into recovery and do a "Factory Reset" & wipe cache and dalvik but don't wipe system or data then reboot the phone.
99% of the time it always works. If you are in the 1% and it still does not work your best bet is to ODIN flash the new stock-rooted
Tmobile T999 v4.1.2 Jellybean rom. That works 100% of the time for everyone.

I will give that a shot, but I assumed having come off a fresh Odin flash to stock, the cache and dalvik would have been wiped already and it basically was just "factory reset" with the flash. Here goes...

Are you referring to the root66 one? Cuz I've been trying to download it already, but the hosting site appears to be down.

Thank you very much sir. Factory resetting as you said got me into the stock rom, and from there I deleted the contents of the nandroid.md5 file which allowed me to restore the backup and now I'm back in CM.
Cheers to you.
Please help me :crying:.. i'm trying to flash to stock firmware with odin.. everything is fine the process also pass/reset..
but after the reboot it just same like before.. the wallpaper/locksreen/rooted and all the setting is same.. not a single things change
why odin not resetting/restore to factory my note 8 .. forgive me for the bad english
N5100 version
Because not all official stock firmware come with wipe command... so wipe it yourself...
Go to settings --> backup and reset ---> factory data reset.

thanks you.. its working, everything restore to factory:victory:
I'm thinking of a factory reset but I'm curious to know if a stock flash is better to wipe out and clean up any possible faulty files , then re-do the phone
Thanks

I do both, factory data reset from the settings menu and then boot to download mode and Odin.
