[Q] Flash back to gingerbread custom rom from ics - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I want to go back to gingerbread (nexus mod 4) can I just flash it using the instructions in the thread? Or do I have to go back to stock with Odin or something first?
Thanks

No need for odin imho
I did the same thing you did. To be ocd I reset user data (twice), cleared the davlik (twice), formatted the system (twice) in storage and mounts and then flashed the darkside superwipe (once). Then I flashed the Nexus rom (all in CWM)

I kno bonsai backs up and restores data, but if your having issues I would suggest odining to stock, wiping data three times, wiping cache, wiping dalvik then flashing bonsai over a fresh stock install.
Also I believe the latest bonsai is based on ec05, not eb13, in theory you should still be able to flash though, let me kno if u need a link to the stock ec05 tar

Here is the link to odin to fully stock ec05..
Try odining to this, let it boot, use the clockwork mod 3.0.0.6 one click root, then boot into clockwork, wipe data three times, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Then flash bonsai..
If you are still having issues I would reccomend trying syndicaterom using the same process, been on it for 2 weeks + without a single hickup.. good luck

[Q] HTC evo 4g stuck in bootloop (I know)

Ok first of all, this is my dad's phone he wanted rooted with a custom ROM. I'm not new at all to flashing but I have the Droid X and Droid Bionic so I only know MOto. SO I performed the root (*****) and installed CM7 build on his Evo. A week later he was experiencing ploblems with gmail and GPS and not wanting to constantly hear complaining, I opted to install a new ROM that had an RC build . I chose Synergy with god mode (wanting to wipe it twice) and proceeded with the dalvik and cahce wipes only. I didn't format sys because the op didn't state that I had to.....well I left his house letting the ROM settle and now its in a bootloop. He's telling me via gtalk that it trys to come on but says "storage is full" and "android.acor" has stopped. Any solutions that I can give him to get him back up and running?
Did you nandroid...if so just restore that

You'll have to flash a new rom or restore a previous backup (if any was made).

Turn off the device, hold down the volume button and then the power button.
make sure you follow the 3 main steps before flashing/ restoring any rom or backup
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. go to advance->wipe dalvik
then proceed, and even though your motorola, it's the same through out all the phones
(have a photon and an evo3d)

[Q] Complete wipe?

I own the sky rocket S2 on the ICS Sky rom and it is amazing. I googled around, but could not find an exact answer and rather then brick my phone I'm hoping others here can help me.
I am looking to COMPLETELY wipe my phone, as in any images or older programs I installed to be completely gone. Just have factory items just as I bought the phone on day 1.
When installing the roms I do the factory reset, but I find that my apps/other files that I had previously installed are still there!
Ultimately I want to erase everything and just start fresh with the new base of Sky ICS.
Thanks in advance!
You have to boot into recovery then u have to wipe data/ factory reset. Then u have to go into mounts and storage and format system then u go under advanced and wipe dalvik cache. The u have to flash an ics modem. Then u have to flash sky ics and then reboot and ur phone should be formated and ull be running sky ics

[Q] Go from one custom ROM to another

Hey everyone. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff, so bear with me. I have successfully rooted and flashed the "infused" custom ROM on my infuse 4g (which was already running Gingerbread).
- rooted phone
- ran titanium backup
- ran SMS backup
- installed SGS Kernel Flasher
- installed ROM manager
- flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Galaxy S i9000)
- selected full installation for gtg465x infused release
- wiped data and cache (delvik also)
So, I have the "infused ROM" running with no issues at this point. Now I want to try the "emancipation" ROM.
My question is, how to I go from the "infused" custom ROM to the "emancipation" custom ROM? Do I have to do everything listed above all over again, or can I simply just put the emancipation ROM on my SD card and choose to install the ROM?
Thanks
Please Wipe Data/Factory reset and Wipe Cache. *Once the slate is clean, flash in recovery.
If you don't wipe...we don't know where you started and will be unable to help you with your issues.

[Q] I canĀ“t flash any ICS/JB rom

Hi,
I have problem with my P6200(without IR).When I flash any ICS/JB rom my tab is not booting.HC roms work fine.Today I try CM10.1.I flash aorth's CWM 6.0.2.7,in that,I wipe data and now I flash cm10.1.After reboot its stuck on Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus logo.I try reflash it again without wipig but its still stuck.When I try stock 4.0.4 rom its bootlooping Galaxy tab logo.Is there any chance to get these roms work?
Well I sorta had the same issue. So here is what I did. Go back to HC then to ICS if it boot loops go into recovery and wipe data factory reset and it should boot up. After that root and flash cm 10 it should work if it boot loops, wipe data factory reset. But it should work. Then after that install latest CWM recovery and then flash cm10.1
Well this is what worked for me I hope it does for u too
