Hello,
Im now running PRIME 1.4 and there is a 1.5 version released.
I want to flash the most recent (1.5) upon the current (1.4).
how do i do so without damaging my device?
I also run Clemsyn-Blades custom kernel. would it be overwirten? should i replace the kernel before flashing the rom?

1. Most scripts wipe dalvik cache when install or upgrading a ROM. Check with rom author if your not sure. With V. 6 from V. 5 its not necessary.
2. Yes, V. 6 will flash stock kernel. Unless noted in original post from ROM creator, custom ROMs "generally" have stock kernel. Other forums this is not true. You will need to setup SetCPU again after flashing.
3. Titanium Backup, it's a very powerful tool for backing up data apps. Rule of thumb, DO NOT backup and restore system apps, you can put your device in a bootloop or other bad things like applications that force close all the time.

Just a FYI: no need to boot the rom first though. Flash ROM, directly flash Kernel and then boot up. Good luck!

I've seen it recommended to reboot between the ROM install and kernel install. Though I can't say that there is harm that I am aware of.
for #1, task650 said: "You only need to wipe dalvich and cache to upgrade from V5"
for #2, havent tried to flash the kernel yet but will give a shoot asap
Any advice how to do it is more welcomed
for #3, titanium backup ftw
Hi,
How I can downgrade cm7 from cm9? Normally wipe data&cache and then flash cm7? i haven't backup.
thank you
It depends on which version you're running, if you're using the gingerbread kernel with cm9 then you can't downgrade until you get the froyo kernel. anyway let's assume you have froyo running then a simple full wipe and choose the ROM you want and flash. if you have the gingerbread kernel just full wipe choose the ROM and flash it like before, but you have one more step find the zip with the froyo kernel and flash it right after the ROM.
If you can't be bothered with all the just use a full sbf and start clean from rsdlight.

I recently rooted my nexus 7 and now im trying to flash clemsyn's kernel to it, however i haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvic cache, then installing from zip, but it always fails. any idea why?
You flashed it on which rom? I think it's not compatible with your rom.
Ensure you read the OP of the thread to verify that the kernel is compatible with the version of Android that you're using. Remember, always RTFM, even if you think you know what you're doing.
Do you have to flash a ROM before you flash a kernel?

Roms include a kernel and will overwrite the previously installed kernel. If you want to flash a custom kernel in conjunction with a rom, you always flash the kernel after the rom.
Oh! That makes sense. I'll try that later and see if it works
Hey guys, im currently on paranoid android and want to try the xenon hd rom, i read it's recommended to do a full wipe before installing a rom if your running a different rom. Is there any steps I have to do other than a reset, flashing the rom and the gapps, plus the wiping of the cache and the delvik cache?
Regards.

its always recommended to make a backup(nandroid) of your current rom before flashing anything, just in case. backup, wipe data, flash the rom, flash the gapps or kernel if needed, reboot and profit. you dont have to wipe the dalvik/cache because when you flash a rom it automatically wipes it anyways.
One little thing to add to what simms wrote, whether it's recommended or not in the corresponding thread, when you move from one rom to another a full wipe should be a golden rule.

Hi,
I have installed CloudyStock 1.3 ROM in my LG G2 and also installed simple kernel v1. I am interested switching to CloudyFlex 2.1 and how should I switch to Cloudyflex and also the kernel to normal one? Please help me.
Thanks
Well you switch pretty much the same way you install. Download the ROM of your choice and (since you're already on the kk baseband because you're using cloudystock) flash in recovery. Wipe from front to back and then flash the ROM (cloudyflex in your case). If you have intentions of maybe going back to a jb based ROM, simply flash the ROM of your choice and flash your device specific baseband/modem after the ROM or before you reboot (as I have been doing) and wallah, magic.
As far as kernels go, flash it as you did when you flashed cloudystock (assuming its designed to run with the ROM)

Your reply answered all my queries. Thanks! One last question will flashing the new rom make the kernal to the default one or I need to download the default lg kernel and flash it?
