thanx a lot it worked!

Had same issue.
Does this mean that if you want to revert to an older nightly you can't use the ROM built in update functionality ?

If you do that you will likely bootloop as there will be file residues from the previous newer nightly. So it is better to flash the older nightly with recovery but you have to wipe before flashing.

Yeah, I did a factory reset, wiped cache partition, dalvik cache, and formatted system

do not use safestrap, this gains you lots of bugs and flash failures... it's quite not very 'safe' i think... use RAZRbootstrap instead...

works perfect for me.
edit: if you're NOT on 2.3.6 the ics ota will NOT work! it's based on 2.3.6's kernel version...

Make sure you are on stock 2.3.6
If you are not on 2.3.6 then you will have to upgrade first and reroot before you can install any ICS ROM.
By the way, which ROM are you trying to install?

Install CM9 stable

Hello guys.
At the moment, I'm using siyah kernel 4.0.1 with dual boot of CM9 RC2 and slim ics (2ndry). Now I want to update from CM9 RC2 to the latest stable release.
Can I flash without data wipe/ factory reset and having all apps and settings still there?
Thx for reply folks!
Btw: great platform!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah. there's a guide to dual boot with siyah. I believe you would just go to the dual boot settings in cwm recovery and flash the updated zip to the first/second rom.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Thx. Made an backup via cwm, then flashed the newest CM9 version. Everything went fine. I only had to reflash siyah kernel cause it installed the cm kernel while flashing.
Can be closed!

I've just downloaded the update through UpdateMe and flashed it. It recognised that it was upgrading and upgraded fine without a full wipe.
If you're simply updating an existing ROM or coming from a ROM with the same build base, all you need to do is flash it and clear cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.

[Q] No Service! After flasing Paranoid Rom

No Service,After flashing Paranoid Rom.
I checked Baseband version.It shows Unknown.
So i flashed two 4.1.2 Baseband.But both did not work.
Then i flashed leaked JB 4.2.1 version ROM,Now All Service and Data Service working.
After that i rooted the stock rom and again i tried to flash PA rom.
This is also happening for CM rom.
But for other custom stock rom or temasek's UNOFFICIAL cm,it is working well.
Why?
Any solution?
I tried the same rom on another Galaxy S3.
Service was working well.
Mine and another s3 have same Baseband.
I did same steps to install for both headset.
Did you wipe your phone before installing the new rom?

I flashed stock rom.i tried to flash but no luck.
I think I need to completely reset my device.
For that do I need pit file?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you mess with Pit you are likely to have a brick .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
jje
don't mess with PIT, just reflash another working CM rom (like slim) and it should be fine. THen if you want re flash stock, but you should be fine anyway.

Correct and safest way to update rom?

Hi there. I am currently running Liquidsmooth Rom on my i9300 and I wanted to update it to the latest version 2.9. I had a look through and couldn't find a clear way on how to flash the update. If any experienced flashers could guide me to how I should go to update my rom it'll be much, much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

First of all you should always make a backup in case something goes wrong...usually only you should do is download the rom to your phone, reboot in to recovery, wipe cache, in advanced..wipe dalvik, then just go in install zip from sd card, find downloaded rom and install it, then reboot and everything should be fine
if it's not, factory reset
Backup first in recovery then flash in cwm..
