Well when you do a factory reset and anything else you'll lose all of your information but it can be very easy to recover. If you added a Google account to your phone then your contacts will be backed up and your apps redownloaded and anything on your SD card will stay there. All of the stuff from the Google account will come back after you have added the SAME Google account to the phone during setup which is done when you flash a new rom.

Well I'm not too sure, especially with your phone but this is what should happen, reboot into recovery, do some wipes then flash the roms and reboot, if it comes up with a problem DURING the flashing then redownload the rom. If the case is that your phone doesn't boot fully then the problem is that you are using the wrong firmware because you are using a Rom with a different android version. If this didn't solve it then try asking in the sgs2 forums because I don't know too much about your phone

Well ill give you all of my thougts. Redownload the Tom and do a wipe then install it, if it doesn't work ty a different version if cyanogenmod

First, boot into recovery. Not sure how it works on the sgs2 because I'm running an Incredible 2, but it should be by holding the power and volume buttons if you can't get there from ROM manager.
Second, wipe data/factory reset.
Third, wipe cache partition.
Fourth, advanced/wipe dalvik cache.
Fifth, mounts and storage/format system.
Sixth, install zip from sd card.
Seventh, install gapps if it isn't in the ROM.
Eighth, reboot.

[Q] Broken Galaxy Note after rooting and attempting rom install

I successfully rooted my Galaxy Note. When I attempted to install Cyanogenmod 9 I followed the instructions and deleted factory setting in restore mode and also deleted the cache. Next I was supposed to install the rom but now my phone doesn't recognize the memory card anymore. Both the backup I took using clockwork and the cyanogen rom are one the SD card. What to do? I would be very greatful if anyone could shed some light on this issue and help get my phone back up and running.
Kind regards,
Stig

I guess you have misread.. You are not supposed to do factory reset.. However.. Solution is,
Go to recovery mode..
In that go to storage and mount.. Then mount sd card..
Connect your phone to PC using USB cable..
Copy ics ROM file to it..
Now go to install from sd card and select the ROM..
Once installed wipe cache, and dalvik cache..
Reboot, it'll be fine..

Thank you so much for getting back to me. By the time I read your post I had downloaded Odin 1.85 and flashed Abyssnoteker kernel. That provided with me with access to clockwork recovery. However, although I now can find my backupfile that I stored before I attempted to install the rom, it does not appear to be working. When I attempt to run the backup file I'm given an error message stating that there is an "MD5mismatch!". I then proceeded to attemt to run Cyanogenmod 9 again and it uses about a minute to install and tells me that install from SD card is complete. I rebooted and everything appeared to be going fine but it's stuck in looping. Any advice on how to proceed?
Kind regards,
Stig

what version is your Galaxy Note? The AT&T version or international version?
Currently the international version is suffering from a brick bug that could brick your phone when you wipe.

Thanks for your reply. I have the international version (GT-N7000).

Are you "on" CM9 right now? If you are then, use Odin to flash a GingerBread ROM with a wipe.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Scroll down to post #4 and flash via Odin one of the Open Europe ROM Gingerbread ROMs. The ROMs comes with wipe so it will effectively reset your phone. Unfortunately that ROM will not be easily rootable, so go back up to post #1 and flash via Odin one of the directly rootable ROMs. Then root and install CWM etc.
I know this is tedious, but try it out and see if it works.

Try to hold on volume up and power button until screen off then release and press power button again for enter recovery mode.
After entered Recovery mode "Wipe User Data", "Wipe Cache" and "Reboot"
If this solution cant solve a problem please try to flash your tab to Official HC and ICS with Odin then Flash to CM10 again.

R u try flash to HC ?
** If u flashed and found a boot-loop after flash HC, please follow up latest post.

Halp!
Good timing, i have a similar problem.
I was at ICS 4.0.4 rooted then decided to downgrade to HC stock to back it up (since ICS is buggy).. I flashed using odin 3v1.85 using a single file PDA: P6200DXKL3_P6200OLBKK8_P6200DXKK5_HOME.tar.md5. After flashing HC, I'm stuck at bootloop.
Then I have no choice than to flash it up from there, since I can still access recovery 3e.. Firstly i flashed CWM 6 using odin, then tried to update CM10 from my external sdcard. Then this error shows up
Installing: /emmccm-10-20120904-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip
Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [/emmccm-10-20120904-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip
E: Can/t mount /emmccm-10-20120904-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip
installation aborted.
BTW I wiped data and cache using CWM. I accidentally formatted the sdcard my real objective is to mount it then I didnt notice.
oyea, tried flashing it using touch cwm, it worked but it boot loops..then i tried acessing recovery but it just went off, and i cant turn it on.
Good thing when i charge it on an outlet the screen goes on then i went to Downloadmode again. I reflashed it back to HC via odin.
NOTE: ( MY tab is ruinned. now the screen won't turn on, only when I'm charging it as previously stated. The only thing i can access is download mode
Thanks in advance :crying: I'm at lost

I have a experiences like this. I try entered to download mode and re-flash my tab to HC with Odin then reboot a device and wipe all user data.

Finally, I'm on CM10. :victory:
Flashing back to ICS fixed the bootloop, then from there it's history!
Though I forgot to copy the cwm backup of my ICS before formatting the sdcard. Now it's gone :silly: . Anyway, it's nice to start off from scratch.
Can someone tell me how to go back to stock HC/ICS from ICS from CM10 without the nandroid backup? Just in case some problems will occur in the future. Thanks!

I rollback from CM10 to Stock HC with Odin and download stock HC from Sammobile.com.

Thanks mate! I'll keep that in mind.
I just hope bootloop or bootstuck won't occur. Like when I flashed the single HC tar file from sammy from ICS. Cheers!

So .. what should I do?

check the recovery select your recovery.img from external sdcard and flash. Wait until it reboot to the recovery. Before u flash any rom please make backup to internal sdcard & Try to restore 1st to makesure your nandroid backup work. Also backup using go backup or titanium backup. If your nandroid backup getting weird this optional to get your data back.
3. Backup call log and sms. Please backup to external sdcard just change the backup folder in setting. This very useful to restore back your log & Sms after your flash new rom.

Do With Your Own Risk. And Don't Wipe Data using Ics stock recovery or temporary cwr. Since they detected have emmc brickbug and cause hardbrick. Hardbricks mean totally brick, only JTAG or change main board your last hope.

I'm on Paranoid Android 2.50 (Androi 4.1.2), coming from Android 3.2.
Onething that I'd like to share is you should flash a cusstom rom wwhen you're on Android 3.2. Some friends of mine used the stock Android 4.0 then flashed CM10 or Paranoid and their devices bricked.

although very beautiful and fluid is still immature has many bugs that I at least I consider fundamental for me ... for example, does not read the external sd ... not the video player does not read the pen drive .... well you would for hands just a phone and not a very large smartphone / tablet sfuttare in full ... I have uninstalled immediately expect a more complete version ... more well known problems and then decide to suit your needs if you install it or not. hello ..

[Q] how to update cm10 rom?? (im a noob)

i want to update cm10 for the infuse 4g but i dont know how can someone please help and if i do update it does it delete all my apps and stuff please help?

Yes it will delete everything as you will need to do a full wipe. There are many apps that will back everything up but I use titanium back up. Once you back everything boot to recovery and do a full wipe/format and flash your ROM of choice and gapps... any questions... let me know.... I'm still a noob but I'm sure I can help you flash a ROM...
Sent From My Swagged Out AOKP Build 5 Galaxy S3!

If I am reading your question right, you are asking how to update cm10 to cm10. Aka newer version?
If it is the same ROM download it and the corresponding gapps (if newer)
Turn off your phone and take out your SD card.
Then boot into recovery. (Either three finger it, or start the phone back up and reboot into recovery)
At the main menu wipe cache.
Go into advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back and go into mounts and storage.
Format /system
Then go back and flash from sdcard
Choose the newer ROM image and flash.
Then flash the new gapps.
Then restart phone. If it goes back to recovery just hit reboot phone again.
This method will not delete your personal apps just system apps. It may reset a few settings, such as log in credentials. But no big deal. (This would depend on the app not what you did)
These methods will never delete your personal photos or music. Only way to ever mess this up is a brick. Which only happens when you do risky flashes, or flash over USB with faulty wires.
If you are asking to go cm10 from cm9 it is described in the ROMs.
If you are going from say cm10 to liquid smooth rom, you can try the above method, but some settings may transfer funny and screw stuff up, so it is better to do the above steps but first do a Wipe data/factory reset.
This factory reset unfortunately wipes all your personal apps. To avoid this as best as possible I suggest titanium back up and use it to back up all your apps. The difference between pay and free titanium back up that you will notice, is that the paid one auto installs all apps, free one you have to install them by pressing install, done, install, done. This is annoying with 25+ apps. I paid for this reason alone.
Hope I helped at all.

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 not booting

So I have this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, GT-P3100 with Jellybeans 4.1.2. I recently rooted it using Kingroot. It worked fine until I tried installing a custom kernel. I installed unofficial miui v5.4 using CVM Recovery v6.0.7 I think. I clicked install from sd card and installed the .zip file. It said installed after a few mind. I then clicked reboot device now. It started booting and showed a new boot image, which I thought was normal. But the image wasn't fitting in the screen. I waited full 30 mins and it stayed there, a light coming and going as a logo. Nothing happened, so I pressed the key combination of power button + volume up button for 5 seconds and it started again, showing the new symbol. It has not booted after an hour and half.
Please help, I don't know what to do.
I admit I am a little new in this. But I saw a website to tomsguide.com and followed the steps with pictures.​

No you can't because Odin can only work with Tar.md5 files and using something else like zip files will cause trouble a lot of trouble and yeah sometimes I forgot to check xda so sorry for late reply by the way what's your age because you sound little bit childish

So I have this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, GT-P3100 with Jellybeans 4.1.2. I recently rooted it using Kingroot. It worked fine until I tried installing a custom kernel. I installed unofficial miui v5.4 using CVM Recovery v6.0.7 I think. I clicked install from sd card and installed the .zip file. It said installed after a few mind. I then clicked reboot device now. It started booting and showed a new boot image, which I thought was normal. But the image wasn't fitting in the screen. I waited full 30 mins and it stayed there, a light coming and going as a logo. Nothing happened, so I pressed the key combination of power button + volume up button for 5 seconds and it started again, showing the new symbol. It has not booted after an hour and half.
Please help, I don't know what to do.
I admit I am a little new in this. But I saw a website to tomsguide.com and followed the steps with pictures.​

hello sir,
i know how to solve your problem.
the problem you are facing is a boot loop .i.e you get stuck in the boot logo
and your device never goes further.
the common reason is not clearing dalvik cache before flashing a new rom in recovery.
so now solve this problem follow these steps.
1. charge your device fully and go to recovery.
2. do the following-
do a factory data reset.
clear cache and go to advanced and clear dalvik cache.
now flash the kernel and rom and the gapps(if you have).
now reboot and see you will go through the boot logo .
HURRAY YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED YOUR NEW ROM
NOTE: all the steps above are only to practice in CWM Recovery.
if you still have any problems let mw know.
thanks
