I want to update my Xoom from Moray 2.2 to Moray 2.2.2 and would like to know how to go about doing this, do I need to do a wipe and then flash 2.2.2 or what?
Thanks.
Doesn't it pay to start fresh? I always do. Less chance of mixing anything up.

took the chance and did it without wipe after i did a nandroid backup and everything went fine, just do nandroid backup to be safe
Everything should be fine with Nandroid backup. Hope I don't reply too late.

I have not seen this touched in entirety so far, if it is please direct me there. But I wanted to upgrade to the fresh baseband and then go back to Trigger2X w/ Faux Kernel. I assume just revert back to stock in it's entirety, upgrade using OTA or update tool, then NVflash CWR back on and go from there? Seems simple enough but really just wanted to see if anyone had issues with returning back to CWR and restoring a Nandroid. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
I did this and no problems at all

I got cwm installed on my infuse, is it safe to do a nand backup and nand restore? Sorry if this is common knowledge and ifs been asked before
Yes it is safe as long as your on the same android version. That is if you make a froyo cmw backup make sure you are running a froyo rom when you restore. You CANNOT restore a froyo system if you are running gingerbread or vice versa. From what I've read the gingerbread cmw for infuse currently can't restore the backups. I don't know if that has changed. I hope this helps.

Yeah that helps, thanks a lot. One more thing, I know I'm on froyo, about phone says 2.2.1, I'm gonna flash refuse, it that froyo also, and is infused v1 froyo or gb
I flashed the Octane ROM and now have the rainbow screen. I am told I need to flash a Gingerbread bootloader but I cant figure out a 100% sure way of doing this. I have read I also need some sort of kernel just not sure what one. All I did to the phone so far was get clockwork recovery working and flash the Octane ROM. Sorry for the noobish question but I am completely new to these Samsungs and theyre a little more involved than the HTC's I have previously worked with.

I'm guessing you're coming from Froyo. You should check out the SGS 4G Bible here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554. Look under ODIN ROMs and install Chadster's KG4 ROM (last one listed). That's the first GB ROM to have the bootloaders on it. After that, you should be able to drop whatever other GB ROM you want on it.

Excellent thank you! Could I backup the current ROM in clockwork recovery, flash Chadster's KG4 then just restore my backup? Or would that also restore my old bootloader? The phone is my girlfriends and she just got it setup the way she likes and I would hate for her to have to do it all over again. Shes not as patient as I am when it comes to this kinda stuff.
I believe that would be ok

No worries. Glad to help. Did it all work?
If you're coming from Froyo, DO NOT advanced restore your data on a GB ROM!
That will cause multiple issues on your phone. One of them being no incoming phone calls.
In order to move from Froyo to GB, your only option is to use Titanium Backup. Backup all user apps and data and restore them when you're on GB.
GB to GB is fine, but you must flash the Bali kernel (yes, it is a Froyo kernel) to perform an advanced data restore. You must be sure to flash the kernel back to a GB kernel afterwards. If not, you will be in a boot loop.
As for keeping HOMESCREEN settings and such, unless if your girlfriend has a custom launcher on, like ADW or LauncherPro, you will have to manually set up everything again.
In terms of PHONE settings, you'll have to set up everything again.
I hope you see this post before flashing, or else you'll have to reflash everything for your girlfriend!

I assume by advanced restore you mean some sort of restoring through Clockwork Recovery?
I only use Titanium Backup for backup and restore of apps. So backing up the apps on Froyo and restoring them on the GB ROM through Titanium is fine correct? I hope so cause I have already done this once lol.
She does use ADW EX so restoring that wont be an issue.
So If I just backup all the apps with Titanium, then flash the ROM+Bootloader mentioned above, then restore the apps with Titanium Backup it should be fine?
I assume doing this would not have changed the kernel at all. Should I flash some sort of GB kernel while im at it?
I really appreciate all your guys help on this one. Im more nervous about doing this stuff cause the phone isnt mine lol. If it were mine I would be flashing all day long! But in this case I want to get it right the first time.
Just an update. I did the above and it fixed up the rainbow screen. Thank you all for your help. I couldnt have done it without you guys. GF is now happy with her newly updated Octane rom

That's great! Glad to hear we could help. Best of luck!
For the last couple of months my Charge has been asking for the gb ota update. if i choose to install now it fails due to my phone being rooted. Im still on froyo and have been wanting to take the update. I would like to keep root, voodoo, all of my apps, phones settings, and theme. Is there a way to get the update without having to have the phone go into a hard reset? Its just very time conusming for me to try and put my phone back into the condition that it is in now with all my settings/apps. I just want to keep everything the way it is but including GB. Any way to do this?
Titanium Backup. Back up, and install a custom GB ROM. Then restore.

I used to be very cautious with flashing/upgrading. Then I decided to bite the bullet and just learn the ropes of backing up and keeping all the files I need to reflash and get back up and running quickly.
I suggest using CWM 4.0.1.4 for making and restoring backups in recovery, which can really be great- it saved me a lot of time.
How do your restore when the phone has been hard reset, with no root and no titanium?
The custom gb roms comes pre rooted rven with CWM(infinity..tweakstock...humble....eclipse))Get TiBa from market and restore

For those that are testing roms,how do you back up your installed apps/data to load to the new rom and get up and running quickly? I have 80+ apps that I really hate to have to reinstall or have progress reset every time I try a new rom. I have TB but have seen mixed reviews here on its results. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I have already read the threads how to backup existing setup in case something goes wrong.

Make a CWM backup. Install new ROM, then go to Backup and Restore, go to advanced restore, then select the backup you made, and select restore data. That will bring back all of your apps/setting and such.

Thank you. I thought cwm was only to put back to the way I started like a windows image file.

I apologize, I misunderstood your question......
I used CWM when I went from stock rooted 2.3.5 to stock rooted 2.3.6 to restore all my apps. I'd imagine there could be some issues if you used CWM in the same manner when going from stock rom to say RebelROM so for that I'd use MyBackup. I prefer it over TB any day. So use MB to make your backup of your apps (apk's and data) before flashing the new rom, flash the new rom and then once you get MB on your phone again use it to restore the apps, apk's first then data after all the apk's have been restored.
Sorry for the confusion
I use Rom Toolbox...it works quite well

I just tested a theory i had and it worked flawlessly. I just flash supercharged v5 and before i did i just wiped cache and dalvix and formatted system, i did not do a factory data reset. I then flashed the rom and everything went flawlessly. I still have all my apps and data from before the flash.
