if you have nandroid back your first rom just reflash just wipe /data, /system, /cache on your recovery and restore factory setting before restoring nandroid back up or installing new rom just to make sure there's no residue of the previous rom is left on your phone.
unfortunately i dont have nandroid backup, but i tried to complete restore of ROM, i downloaded original ROM and wipe all caches.. but it didnt help... how can i wipe ALL data? with ROM too? so i wont be able to switch on phone until i flash a new ROM?

Right, I was using MIUI for a while and got bored, so I reverted back to a official firmware JVT to be exact. But I had a problem, my internet didn't work although wifi was fine. also when taking pictures they store on the phone and i can view them via file manager but they do not show in gallery or even when ive review photos from the camera. AND my music player will not open
So I flashed Darkys ROM 10.2 FE thinking that it was the ROM but i've still got the same problems
Can anyone help?
Please

yeah I did, It's all sorted now thought! Even though I was wiping everything I restored it all through titanium backup! So had to start from scratch but all is fine.. So far anyway
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

I updated ICS about 2 months back and it is the worst decision I have ever made. My phone went from being blazing fast to slow as hell. I can't even text through GoSMS or play Scramble With Friends without it lagging. Is there any other solution to this other than rooting? I'm still on stock and have never rooted my phone.
Reported on language two q&a thanks

Try rooting, developers tweak a ROM to same it faster and smoother. I can't recommend you a rom since I'll get crap for it so just read the guides and read what different ROMs have to offer.

Rooting is just going to complicate things for a guy with lag , and seems to be "new" or not just very techy regarding Android secrets lol
Try to flash a custom recovery , format/wipe dalvik , cache , data and reset factory defaults ... You'll LOOSE eveything on your phone so back things up before hand , but most probably this will clean the system and speed it up for you , if not , format everything in recovery and flash mohan_kr deodexed 4.0.4 UCLF6 in custom recovery ... I can safely say it's faster than ODIN flash of stock att ICS and stil stock ROM ..

If you're going to do all that, just root. A stock ROM is a stock ROM--garbage in, garbage out. At least by rooting you give yourself a more capable platform to work with. Even with the smallish dev community for Skyrocket (that seems to have just gotten one smaller), there are some really great ROMs out there that will do far more for you than a factory reset to the same stock ROM will.
I notice the lag with Gosms after the 4.0.4. I rooted, a lil better but still a lag. Sent a message to Go, said they know. Last update I did from them made it a lil better...but still lags. Sucks cause you have to type slow. Something happened in the update 4.0.4.

Ungrateful noobs...
Lagging a lot of times has to do with the cache that builds up overtime. The moment you clear the cache, things are speedy again. So, as suggested, root, install CWR, and format the cache partition.
Were you on GB? Did you update through Kies? Are you running the official ATT ICS?
You could try installing an odin one click and that's gonna wipe everything I guess. And make a backup ofc first.
I got my Note 10.1 a few months back. Now I have got a lot of apps that I love and don't want to lose.
I am using a custom European ROM made by zedomax "HighonAndroid".
I've decided 2 days ago that I want to update my note to jelly bean.
My question is: How can I back up all my applications before wipe/data reset?
I really don't want to lose the apps nor the root.
Can anyone help me?

titanium backup, buy it. you'll use it all the time
You can make a flashable zip of your stuff. If you do this, I have only had good resaults of flashing it after rebooting into the new rom and then flash the update zip. also would be good if you went ahead and did the thing in your securty setting to allow the non play store apps, especially if you have them.
This usually does a great job of doing the data part of the apps like logins and stuff. sometimes mine dont work right at first but it still saves a lot of time
If the rom you are going to doesnt have root built into it, which I think all here do, then getting root back isnt hard and there is this voodoo root keeper app as well somewhere maybe on the market. but rerooting isnt that big of a deal and shouldnt be nesesary

Ty very informative, but I don't think the root will be installed because im going for stock JB.
Only question is can I flash in germany's ROM when I'm on European now?
Yep, ODIN or mobile ODIN will do it... You would benefit from backing up internal sd card - connect to pc and copy contents of phone/internal.... This means if it does an entire wipe you don't loose all your game saves etc.... Not likely to but the chance is always there, especially if you use mobile ODIN and tick "clear cache/data"...
Though I am curious why you don't flash the stock UK JB rom in developement as all are the same, just csc is different...

I have up and I believe darkman_rs does as well, stock versions of the jelly bean set up to run on an 8013. Mine is for the uk and I think darkman has the nordik. Either will work. I am in the U.S. and use the uk version with no issues. The csc is consumer region stuff, both of these roms have that stuff taken care of so they will not have an issue in any region.
So if you are on a custom rom and want to go to a complete stock, then go to sammobile, firmware, download one from there and flash through odin, then reroot
Or you can grab another stock, or custom rom from here set to flash through cwm and go that route

If you are coming from ICS then yes, a complete wipe of everything is reconremended. If you do not do a full wipe and get FC, then you need to do a full wipe
My camera on the sensation doesn't work. Whenever i attempt to open the camera apllication i get a black screen and phone crashes. I am not sure but I believe I am missing the drivers for it as this only happened when i installed a new ROM. I was therfore wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the drivers or an alternative cyanogen ROM. Current version is 10.1-20130806-Albinoman887-pyramid.

Hi, my sensation has the same problem. So far I could get is to make a system-format in recovery mode. Before it is good to make a backup though. then installed CM 10.2 albinoman887-pyramid with gapps and camera came back for a while. I still struggle with the cam, i cannot make it sable. I think something overwrites a camera file in dalvik cache, because for me sometimes cleaning only dalvik cache helps to get back camera. maybe it is good to start with this, rather than make a system format first.
best luck...
if anyone knows better solution, please share it with us.
Make a nandroid backup, wipe everything except sd card from 4ext recovery, install a Sense based rom, see if camera problem persist, then wipe everything again and install cm10 rom. If anything goes wrong you still have nandroid backup

Hi, maybe you can help me as well. i went back to original rom 2.3.4, but camera didn't come back. originally, i updated to original 4.0.3 rom and I used this rom for a long time, when camera problem started suddenly. now i can install all kind of rom, camera still won't work stable.
i dont know what happened my sensation cant open camera also
Did you update the firmware? What firmware are you on? And how did you get yur phone s-off?
You have to try another ROM, maybe you flashed a old version of the Rom that has a broken camera.
Try first a Sense-based ROM
