Steps under stock ROM, before flash with custom. - Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G

Hi.
What kind of steps should I do before flash with custom ROM.
I am now on Samsung ROM (4.1.2) and it is rooted. Backup is most essential if I would like to go back to it.
But anything else?

Try to post questions in q&a section next time
Back up all
Be sure you have the latest stable recovery if you want a KitKat ROM
Wipe all in recovery
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot

So is there any apk that is possible to make all backups in stock rom and then under custom rom to install that apk and recover everything there?
I want to avoid installing all apk and set all settings from scratch.

some questions regarding flashing roms

currently i am following the rooting tutorial by jaggy jags
my question is i am planning to install this sense 4 rom by derefas
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943775
why do i have to create "YOU NEED TO CREATE SD-EXT PARTITION BEFORE FLASHING 512MB MIN" ? for this rom and can i create this partion with the help of recovery
so i am currently on stock rom and will be rooting so Do i have to install some diffrent recovery to install this rom ? or the recovery A310E Recovery.zip will be fine
what about kernel do i have to flash diffrent kernel or the kernel is provided in the rom and if not then which kernel should i flash?
And if suppose i want to return to stock rom i found this link of stock roms http://www.mediafire.com/?qwr4n3phnfr4a
should i flash directly this roms to return to stock without unlocking the boot loader ?
And if suppose i made some mistakes and i am unable to acess the recovery is there any way that i can flash the stock rom ?
new to the Htc family coming from xperia
Thanks in advance

SD-Ext: You don't need, but it is recommended. And you are normally able to do so using recovery
The kernel is included in the ROM, no need to flash another one. But if you want, you can flash another kernel after flashing the ROM.
And installing one custom recovery is enough.

[Q] How to install custom recovery after root?

first things first. I'm a noob. HAHA. but i'm willing to learn.
I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks
First of all find a cwm file for ur device specific to the model u have on google. Flash it with Odin n u will have the recovery.

done finding cwm file that's compatible with my tab
Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.
Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

Okay, first, make sure you have whatever you need backed up.
Second, wipe everything except SD card ( dalvik, cache, system, boot, data)
Third, reflash the ROM, and report back if your problem persists.

You can't dirty flash a 4.3 rom over a 4.2 rom like you did since the gapps are not compatible. It causes all sort of force close like you have. Do as Setting.Out said and make sure you download the correct gapps for 4.3. Flash them after you flash your rom.
try the rom at my singature

4.3应该是没有官方的,另外 I9023XXI1指的是基带版本,应该跟刷那个版本系统没什么关系,4.3除了cm以外没发现有哪个bug少的
the google official didnot release andorid 4.3 for android,you can download official image from here(just google search nexus factory image,then open first links and find out the image adapt you phone),using fastboot flash you phone :victory:

[Q] S2+ I9105P won't boot into system when custom rom is installed

Hello xda forum,
i own the before mentioned phone and recenty i tried to flash some custom roms on it but every time it wouldnt boot into system.
firstly i installed CWM with odin and rooted the phone, everything worked fine.
but after flashing any custom rom i tried (axxion, unofficial cm11, sazy and something else i think) it stops at samsung galaxy s2+ black and white screen for hours. or sometimes loops the same screen with few seconds of blank screen in between.
i flashed the stock back with odin and it worked fine, repeated cwm flashing and rooting, flashed custom rom. repeated that at least 4-5 times with same results.
my goal is to flash resurrection remix but it said
"Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, SlimKat, etc) or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM and NOT on 4.1.2 TW based ROM"
so i tried to flash cm11 before.
also tried the solution i found on forums (wiping dalvik cache and wiping cache numerous times, fixing permissions and all that with no luck)
i can acess CWM and download mode without problem but cant boot into system, only if i load a backup or flash a stock.
bump
anyone? pls help
im out of ideas
First of all, is ur Stock Rom 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? U can't flash cm11 or resurrection rom(or any other roms) if u have 4.1.2.

thanks for reply,
my stock is 4.1.2. therefore i need to update to 4.2.2 first?
can you send me a link or something as a guide or ill search for it.
which basically means i need to flash 4.2.2. then cm11 and then resurrection?
or i am doomed to use stock?
Yes, u need flash 4.2.2 first and then custom rom. Custom roms don't work with 4.1.2 bootloader. U can find good guides if u search "how to flash Stock rom"

If you have a custom recovery you could flash a custom Rom. Look for the stock Rom by vomer in the development forum. Or you can flash the factory image with fastboot. See the sticky rollup thread in the general forum. In there you'll find a guide to flash the factory image
