The usual way, you do all necesarry whipes, and then you install the rom you want. But: no dirty flashesas 4.2 and 4.3have eome architectural diferences (whipe sostem, whipe cache and dalvik, in mounts and storage format both sistem and SD card - better if you back up your photos, music and all media to pc as this deletes everithing you have on in), then connect your phone to PC/Laptop via USB and copy the files of the rom you want, the G-apps and/or kernel

Always after full whipe and factory reset you:
1. Flash the desired rom (it has a kernel of it's own
2. Flash Gapps (they have to be Gapps for your specific rom android version)
3. Flash a custom kernel you like (if you will skip step 3 the rom will still boot up case it comes with it's own kernel, but if you downgrade it's good to flash one case the rom one is mostlikely outdated; and remember that the kernel you flash has to have suport for he android version you flash)
My advice to you if you downgrade is not to go back further than ICS case newer apps will probably have compatibility issues with really old outdated system versions

Hi XDA
My device before the procedure : HTC Desire S, unbranded, Bootloader locked,
HBoot 2.00.0002, S-ON, ICS stock rom via HTC RUU tool
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com.
After hours of reading and testing "everything" I found here on xda (great stuff!!),
I finally managed to have a running CM10-alpha.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256 / Version 2012-09-17)
As I am new to this flashing stuff, I first tried to follow the flashing guide
on the CM-website. Was not workable because "Revolutionary" can not be used on hboot 2...
So I continued with flashing CWM-recovery and after a wipe (factory/reset/cache/dalvik),
I flashed CM10.zip and gapps.zip.
It went through without any errors, unfortunately, the device did not boot afterwards.
I found this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 (CustomROM with 4EXT-recovery)
It indicates flashing "boot.img" (from the CM10 zip-file) as a last step.
Probably the most important step for this HTC device ?!
The Desire S booted CM10 without any further problems and is running since.
(I did not flash GApps.zip, just downloaded Maps and Youtube.)
I have 3 questions :
1. Is it possible to update to a newer version of 4EXT-recovery without losing
the CM10-installation ?
(e.g. 4EXT-Touch : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745)
2. Is it possible to switch from 4EXT to CWM-recovery without losing
the CM10-installation ? I would like to have CWM because I could then use the ROMManager App.
(e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484753)
3. If I would stick with the current 4EXT-recovery,
do I always have to flash "boot.img" as the last step before booting up the device ?
(e.g. after the next CM10-alpha release)
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks so much !
CM10 is great, so much faster than HTC-stock rom ICS (with Sense 3.6) !!
CU
1) yes
2)yep
3)si
Edit: you only have to flash the boot.img when the kernel changes from cm10 to fallout yes.
Updating cm10 no, if the dev didn't change the kernel.
After a full wipe (in 4ext format everything exept SD-card) you also have to use fastboot. Because that wipes the boot.img
Thanks !
Just to recap, I can flash CWM-recovery and then do a normal bootup (with my existing CM10 installation). No further actions required !?
As the kernel will probably remain at v2.xx with the next CM10-alpha-release of nik111, I only wipe reset/factory/cache/dalvik
and then flash the new cm10.zip.
I do not think that I will format anything. But if I would, I would have to replace boot.img again.

Changing recovery will not touch anything else on your device. But there were some issues reported with CWM on some ROMs.
I think one of them is a lack of /system/lib partition support, which is important if you go from a ROM that has such to a ROM without one (it will end with two conflicting /system/lib directories and the device will not boot.
Also I am not sure that CWM wipes the .android-secure directory on the SDcard which can cause issues if going from AOSP to Sense ROM
For some reason I never changed from cwm to 4ext whilst I owned a ds but I can confirm it does wipe .android-secure on the sd card

I have used it about an year ago so it is definitely improved. But there was an user with Bluetooth issues after flashing my kernel and changing the recovery solved it. Also 4EXT has a lot of minor but very useful settings over CWM. Anyway the OP can try both and stick with the one he likes more
Btw Rom Manager can be used to check for updates and ROM downloads with 4EXT if you choose "manual flash override" from the menu

Nk111 uploaded a screenshot today, that shows kernel v3.0.16
When upgrading cm10 wiping cache & dalvic cache should be enough. If you get any problems, apps fc or something like that, do a full wipe(I use format all partitions except SD card in 4ext, after that don't forget to flash the kernel with fastboot).
Btw wipe and format is the same.
Bug in CM10 Alpha by nk11
Hello XDA,
Sorry if this question is in the wrong thread.
It is regarding the cm10 alpha port by nk111.
I got it working, save one major bug, the speaker does not produce any sound output whatsoever:
This applies to ringtones, alarm tones and music.
The sound is perfectly audible through a pair of earphones.
I followed the steps in the official thread to delete the file /system/lib/hw/audio_policy.msm7x30.so and reboot
but this only aggravates the issue by disabling all audio outputs!!!
I am running clockwork mod v5 with HTC bootlocker unlocked, S-ON.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:
I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.
All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe
Hello,
I flashed CM 10.1 and before the CyanogenMod animation boot starts, I get this screen for 1-2 seconds:
Is it a bug specific to the CM version I downloaded maybe? Or a bug and I need to fix it somehow?
Btw, is there a place / thread where I can report this bug to CyanogenMod developers maybe?
Thanks!
I am getting the same thing after I have updated to Official Jelly bean ROM through Mobile odin. Other than this, my Tab is functioning smooth and without any glitches. So I am not bothered at all with this.
If any of you can throw any light on this will be welcome.

This is a known issue but with very low priority. It's because you have 4.0.4 bootloader. It is one of the reasons I've recommended flashing stock 4.1 from a country nearby yours. That way you wouldn't have this strange screen, and hopefully it would also take care of this so called baseband problem or something.

Thanks you two,
Can I now flash stock rom over CM 10.1? All I need to do is download a firmware from SamMobile and flash it over the CM? or you can't do that? because got_creature said that if I already installed CM I need to install only the bootloader.
Btw, Is flashing stock rom from SamMobile done same way in CWM > Install Zip from sd? I am asking that because I did download a stock firmware, but it weights much much more than CM 10.1 so I'm afraid to flash it (CM weights about 150MB and official Samsung rom weights about 700MB)

You can install only the bootloader, but it is considered more dangerous than flashing stock rom, which will give you the same effect.
Stock weights much more than CM, because it is heavily bloated, so that is normal.
And you need to flash stock rom via Odin, for the changes in bootloader to take effect. Than you flash CM again, the same way you did it before. Just remember to always make a clean installation (factory reset, clear data and cache, optionally format \system through recovery, to avoid bootloop or getting stuck on bootlogo. And if happens anyway, don't panic, just boot into recovery and again factory reset and clear data and cache.

Format system just before flashing the zip with cm10.1. There is absolutely no need of doing it before flashing stock via Odin. To be honest, there is usually no need of doing it at all, there was one guy that said somewhere on xda that it may reduce the possibility of some bugs occurring during everyday use, so you may consider this step worth considering.
And yes, it's done in mounts and storage in recovery.

Btw, I looked in SamMobile and there is no jelly bean version for my country, and I did not see any jelly bean version that matches my country's "MODEM", will that cause problems with Phone?
(*does Odin version matter? I am using the 1.85).Is it possible to use Mobile Odin Lite instead to flash the stock rom? or it's not safe?

Mobile Odin does not have access to bootloader, so you need to use pc odin for this operation. And as I said, flash the stock 4.1 rom from a country near your, and everything should be fine.

For a while, I wasn't sure if scott.hart.bti even made a CM10.0 ROM. According to the changelog in this link, one existed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129
Unfortunately, all that is available now is CM 10.1 and 10.2. 10.0 may have been removed because it seems (based on the Q&A thread), CM10 used 4.1.1 (the version affected by Heartbleed), not 4.1.2.
If you want to stick with CM 10.x, I would recommend 10.1. Here is the process (from Gingerbread):
Obtain CWM, this can be done using Jscotts Odin back to stock (Follow instructions and use SGS kernal flasher to obtain CWM)
Run Qksters IMEI backup script here
Make certain you are on ICS, this can be done by flashing Entropy's CM9

I am assuming you already have Slim Bean installed. Here's the thread to download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34430995
To update, all you really need to do is download the final image, save it to the SD card, flash it with CWM/TWRP then clear the dalvik cache.
Don't think there is a need to flash gapps as well since you are not factory resetting in this case. Unless your current version of Slim Bean is not 4.2.x, then you will need gapps (and even then a factory reset would be recommended).
If you are looking to install from scratch, the guide above (in my previous post) is pretty standard (looks to be the same was what is provided in the link).

I plan to use these steps but I'm confused if you use a kernel for gb rom and with slimbean or when flashing in cm 9
Instructions
Coming from Froyo(2.2) Gingerbread(2.3) or ICS(4.0)
Obtain CWM, this can be done using Jscotts Odin back to stock (Follow instructions and use SGS kernal flasher to obtain CWM)
Run Qksters IMEI backup script here
Make certain you are on ICS, this can be done by flashing Entropy's CM9
It is recommended now that you remove your SD Card
CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset
Install ROM
... The package will start to install..
... Phone will reboot into the install screen again...
... Continue to install [Automatically] If not manually flash again
... Phone will reboot again and be at the recovery screen...
Install Gapps
CWM: Wipe Cache Partition
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot

No kernel necessary. Just need CWM to start with (can access by performing the "three-finger-salute" - that is, while holding both volume keys, press the power button), and flash (install from zip) Entropy's CM9 with it's respective gapps. That will bring you to ICS and the right version of CWM (Blue I think). You are free to then flash Slim Bean.
Hope this explains better.

Look it up on the google if you are tire of looking through the forum.
You got to update the rom. there is even video tutorial that Ricky Ericson made if you don´t want to read.
I am a noob also in this but the video guide helps alot.
Have fun flashing!
Hey guys, is there a way to just Flash a stock Boost ROM instead of having to flash the stock firmware using PC?

From what I've found, this is the only flashable stock ROM:

I haven't tried flashing it, myself - when I need to go stock, I just flash the stock firmware via PC.
:good:
Thanks, will there be problems going from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2?

I couldn't tell you, to be honest.
Make a Nandroid, and if the flash fails, or you encounter issues, restore your backup.
Ok thanks, the last time I made a backup and did a wipe for the phone, my backup also go deleted. Does it only do that on TWP?

I use this recovery:

I haven't used TWRP on this device, so I couldn't tell you with complete certainty. PhilZ's recovery has an option to clean your device for flashing a new ROM (wipes data, system, dalvik, & cache). SD contents will remain untouched.
OK thanks very much
