I am currently using mik_os 6.5(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and Clockwork Mod recovery. I tried to install 6.5.2 on top of it (wiping cache and dalvik cache) but it gets stuck on the lg logo. After going through the first post, I even formatted /system but that didn't help either.
Finally, I flashed 6.5 and it is working fine. Any pointers would be helpful.
1) mounts and storage/ wipe cache
2) mounts and storage/ wipe system
3) wipe cache partition
4) wipe data or factory reset
5) install zip from sd card
And blowww!! You have 6.5.2 flashed ;-)

Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mount and storage-format system
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot!
just remeber to backup all ur app using titanium and restore after a fresh install and whnever u update no need to wipe anything just flash over the old version until unless mention by the dev
I didn't want to do a factory reset, however; I still went for it after doing a nandroid backup.
I followed all the steps mentioned by sshbz, but it still got stuck at the boot logo (the one with website address written).
Finally, thanks to the Nandroid backup, I reverted back to 6.5 without having to go through titanium restore.
For 6.5.2, the rom link is given in post 1 and mik_os had also posted a fix for clockword mod users.
I have tried the below
1. Install only the rom
2. Install rom and then the fix
Neither worked. I think I would have to wait for the next update now unless someone can make this work for me.
After browsing and reading a lot of threads I decided to go with WanamLite, because from what I read everything is working like stock Samsung firmware and it's fast. I'm hoping encryption and tv-out work.
I already zergrushed root and installed CF-root CWM some days ago.
So if I flash WanamLite my new bootloader will be the one from ICS? That means I'll get an increase in the flash counter and the yellow triangle, right?
Or is it that this ROM doesn't include the bootloader section?
The instructions in the official thread say:
1 - Copy my Rom to internal sdcard
2 - Backup, backup, backup
3 - If you came from a Gingerbread or AOSP Rom, you MUST WIPE your data
4 - Flash my Rom from recovery
5 - Reboot & enjoy (and let the phone to boot up, at least 5 minutes required for media scanner to finish)
I just want to be sure on this so I don't mess up.
1 - done
2 - I have made a backup using CWM
3 - so for this I must boot into CWM recovery mode and then select Wipe Data/Factory reset and then Wipe Cache Partition?
4 - still in CWM I then must select Apply Update From SDCard?
5 - reboot
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your help.
BTW, is it just me or v10.7 has more features than v10.8?
Check the changelogs in the links after the text "Before you download PLEASE vote for you preferred mods" in the original thread here
The procedure you follow is right.
I would do couple more things before flashing a new ROM.
*cwm -advanced - wipe dalvik cache.
*mounts and storage - format system. This step won't be mentioned in installation steps.but its good to do.sometimes you may have problems moving from aosp rom to sammy rom this ensures that there are no issues.just be careful that you don't format SD card.
Any new flash will increase the counter.you can reset it using the USB jig.

Don't bother about the counter and yellow triangle if you get one, there is an app called triangle away, it will help you remove both the counter and yellow triangle with ease in ics

I just want to make sure I understand this...
So what the "Wipe Data/Factory reset" does is the same as "format /data" in the CWM advanced menu.
And the "Wipe Cache Partition" is the same as "format /cache".
And you're saying to also "format /system"
Is that correct?

I may be wrong on this but, I think I read somewhere that the USB jig was not working with some newer kernels.
So I thought that if the jig doesn't work then it could be that the triangleaway also wouldn't work.
But do all ROMs, or in this case WanamLite, overwrite the bootloader?
Once again thanks.

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=triangle+away&c=apps this is for the trinangle Isue for rooting , but theirs another way for rooting the phone without yellow triangle by using self recovery .if u came in GB u need to wipe delvic cahce ,data .

usb jig wont work with newer bootloaders that comes with ics. triangleaway is the simpler and easy way to remove counter , usb jig is not required for ics.
for anyone who finds this thread when trying to answer their questions...
All went OK and I didn't got any yellow triangle.
So either the bootloader wasn't flashed or CWM doesn't increase the flash count.
I'm still exploring things, but the phone seems less responsible. Sometimes I tap and it does nothing.
And I think I screwed up by allowing google to backup and restore my data. Either that or WanamLite still comes loaded with a lot of crap (like widgets). I'm not sure.
To my understanding:
1. Flashing bootloaders won't give you a yellow triangle or increase flash counter.
2. Flashing with CWM or mobileODIN will not increase the flash counter as well. (Flash counter only increase when flashing non-official kernel in ODIN mode?)
3. Wananlite CWM zip doesn't flash bootloaders, you need to manually flash the ICS bootloaders if coming from GB.
4. I'm on V10.3 with siyah kernel 3.0.1, everything works as it should. (Next ROM: Sensation v3, perhaps?)
5. If you are not satisfied with the touch sensitivity, you may download ExTweaks from play store and adjust vitalij value.
Hope it helps.
Hi I was thinking of trying this rom to, but I am bit concerned about *mounts and storage-format system operation can someone exlpain this process in more depth as I don't want to loose my saved roms/back ups which are on the internal sd card and my external sd card.

its very simple.....
Yesturday only I have done this for my MIUI ROM, I came from Samsung ROM earlier, but it was continuesly giving one error on each MIUI rom I flashed,
I understand Wiping and formating are same, but in the main menu it is only given few wipes which will not effect your ROM's system file and you will be able to boot even after all that wipes,
But by formating System (at Mounts & Storage) you are completely wiping your ROM with its data, but this will not wipe any data which is stored on the user partion of SDcard (which you can access from Computor through mass storage) . now your pnone is Romless and you will not be able to boot until you install a new ROM from recovey or from ODIN.
the steps are:
1) Put your favourite ROM on your iternal SD
2) wipe data factory reset
3) wipe Dalvik cache from Advance
4) go to mouts and storage and select only format system and do it.
5) go back and select install zip from SD card and install your ROM...
Reboot - DONE
Just click on the link of CWM in my signature for more knowledge about CWM menu and partitions which I gathered for me and shared with you....
Hi all
I am about to install Wanamlite and have a question. If I copy Wanamlite in my internal SD (the 11.5 GB memory space I had afrom the beginning with my SII) and that I select wipe data/factory reset, won't it delete everything on the internal SD including the Wanamlite zip ?
Thansk for your help

No, wiping will not delete any user data on your SD card which is accessible through PC
wiping Cache and Data will only wipes your phon's some temporory files and applications and its data...

Wipe data/factory reset will not delete the rom.zip from your internal sd card. The wipe only wipes app/appdata/settings, not custom folders/files.

wiping is done before flashing not after flashing !!
proper wiping include wipe data/factore reset wipe cache format system and wipe dalvik cache.
next tiime use philz recovery and chose the option clean wipe for installing new rom option.
for the time being just do the wipe i mentioned before and flash any roms available in your sdcard / ext sd card.
if you dont have any roms on your sd card then try adb push rom.zip to the root of sdcard. read more / google adb to know how to push files to sd card. this wont flash the rom.zip but will copy files to your sd card so that you can flash them through the recovery...

I rooted my GT-I9305 following the tutorials on this forum and after that I installed cyanogenmod 10.2 with cwm from sd card. i noticed that my photos and data were still on the phone memory after wipe data/factory reset. Is there a way to clean install custom roms?

AS clean as you will get .
Recovery format system data cache preload and sdcard .
You now have no OS boot to download mode and flash stock rom or flash custom rom from ext sdcard .
