Hi all.
I am wanting to try out a custom kernels and ROMs for the Nexus S and had a few questions relating to the same .
1. I have a rooted ICS stock so if i take a nandroid backup will that be able to restore the apps and app data as well or does it have to be done seperately?
2. If I want to revert to stock kernel do I just restore the above backup or there another way to go about it?
3. Also, if i want to revert to the stock unrooted ROM,do i have to flash the stock kernel or will any kernel do?
4. Can someone give me a link to download CM9 (stable or unstable) for my phone? (Nexus S)
I appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance

i haven't got the machine yet, i dont find the tutorials available are noob-friendly and something about upgrading & downgrading are not clearly mentioned, maybe it's just because i am a little bit retarded.
if im not mistaken to install custom froyo rom from the stock 2.1:
stock 2.1->root->recovery->install rom, right?
So how do i get back to stock 2.1?
Is it useful to backup stock 2.1 using the recovery?
When i want to get back to 2.1 from froyo can i just restore my backup through recovery or i need any flashtool?
PLease help me
I dont know why you moving to 2.1 ROM when you can get amazing future on custom rom.
But you if decided then search for stock ROM 2.1 in forum it will be in .zip format (I got once but forgot link) OR go to SE web site choose your device & follow instation process with the help of SE PC suite.
Hope this is useful.
Hi everybody. Im coming from a DroidX and now i bought this piece of art, the Galaxy S2.
I have a question, if i install Cyanogenmod ROM and then i want to install a MIUI or another rom, do i need to use the Odin software for wipe al the content in my device or just flash like normal in clockwork?
My question for this is because in the DroidX if i want to change the ROM from froyo to gingerbread in a custom rom, i need to SBF.
Thanks in advance.
you can wipe in clockward recovery and install it no problem
just keep a nandroid back up incase something goes wrong
if you want to flash a CM7 based rom like miui or galnetmiui just do it as if you were upgrading from an older version o CM7, but if you want to flash a samsung stock based rom you have to use odin and then flash it
Thanks A loooot guys!!! YOU ROOOKS!
You need to wipe using the custom recovery and then install the zip from the recovery to .
Hey guys.
I have litening rom v2.1 ICS on my GS2. I have been having several issues with it. Such as super battery drain when connecting to 3g. I have tried ununstalling some apps but the drain seems randomised. I have installed better battery stats but it doesn't really find anything of interest. I am getting the old ANDROID OS drain. Although i do really like ICS, If i want to go back to the old GB nandroid backup what steps need to be taken.
1. From what i have read is flash a stock rom first. Does this rom need to be a 3 file rom or can i use the vodafone stock rom which is all of the 3 combined into one file "GT-I9100T_VAU_I9100TDUKF4_I9100TDUKF4_I9100TVAUKF4" is the stock rom i have on file. If i need a 3 file can someone link me up a stock 3 file gb rom? Do i need to flash a GB bootloader first? Do i need to add a PIT file when flashing the stock rom?
2. Do i wipe the phone after installation or before. I heard it's back to wipe the phone before going ICS -> GB
3. After flashing stock i assume i need to cf-root the phone again then i can restore a nandroid backup is this correct?
Alternatively is anyone on a ICS rom that is stable? Which rom is it? Hows the process from litening to a different rom? Just a wipe then flash? Thanks guys.
Hello Everyone.
I got a n00b question and sorry for my lack of knowledge in the first place, well then :
I got a S3 GT-19300 with android 4.0.4 and firmware 19300XXLFB. (already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom and kernel)
So, I want to install a new rom based on 4.1.1 JB and I9300XXDLJ4 firmware. My questions are: It is posible to install it with a rom manager? Can you update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 doing that?
Thanks in advance.
you don't need an app for it if that's what you're asking.
you can do it all in recovery. the only thing you can't do is to rename the backup when you're there. (you can do it later.)
just don't forget to wipe before you flash a different version jump.
tnx man i'll try it
np.
just go into recovery with your preferred method (you can use CWM to do it or you can shut it off and use the button combo to start it into recovery. both will take you to the same exact place. then all you have to do is to go in and backup, wipe, flash, restart)
Can i flash the above mentioned ROM as CUSTOM ROM? As i wana do a clean Flash of a Custom ROM.
And if done so, what kind of problems i will have to face. Is there any possibility of soft or hard Brick of the device Samsung Galaxy S2.
1 risk in everything

4.4 Is very new and you need to no lots more than you do now to not have problems flashing or booting when it's flashed. Then there's the restore when you don't like it and want to go bk to stock or restore that nandroid you made.
Things to read about for a few days
Efs bkup.
Nandroid and pre load bkup and restore.
