[Q] Flashing Team ICSSGS RC 4.2 on DarkyRom10.4.2

---

Hi,
I`m new in this forum and I have some questions.
I want to flash the Team ICSSGS RC4.2.

My phone:
Samsung Galaxy I9000
DarkyRom 10.4.2 (Android 2.3.6, Firmware: XWJW1, Modem I9000XXJVU, Kernel: Semaphore_JW1_2.4.0)

I haven't flashed my phone very often, so I want to be sure that everything is correct, because I'm a little bit afraid of damaging my phone:

I have downloaded the zip-file for RC 4.2 an put it on my internal sd-card (I can see it in cwm in the root directory).
Then I have made a backup in cwm of my current rom and of my apps with Titanium Backup.

My questions are:
Can I now boot into Recovery Mode and choose "install zip from sdcard" or do I have to consider something more / different?
Are there other necessary things to do after flashing?

I'm sorry if these questions have been asked bevore (certainly they've been), but I didn't find them in the forum.

Thanks for your help and your responses.

Go to CWM, then do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvick cache.

And go !

Thanks for the answer.
One last question to be 100% sure: First reset and wipe and than flash the zip-file from the internal sdcard?

I'm sorry for these questions, but the other times I flashed with odin.

Yes, in this order

yes first wipe data/cache than install.

But it doesn't matter I once forgot to delete and when i installed rom some weird things started to happend(stuck in boot) than went again and delete files/reboot and i was good to go

Thank you very much; I think I will try it this evening or tomorrow.
I will give you a short response in the next days.

Don't forget to disable lagfix before you do anything !!
Happy flashing !

yeah disable lagfix i think.also backup your efs partition. its where your IMEI number and a few other bits are kept.also make a note of your IMEI.

when i flashed rc4.1 over darkyrom v10.4.2 i got a bootloop so i took the battery off and i wiped and flashed again.actually i had posted exactly what happened to me on the thread for ICS RC 4.2 so have a look at my post. Also i had lost my IMEI but no worries since i had taken a (2 actually) backups.

I was flashing RC 4.2 over Darky ROm 10.4.2. At first I had a boot loop, but then I wiped and re-flashed and now it's working.

Unfortunately, same thing happened to me - I lost the IMEI. Thankfully I did a tar.gz backup using terminal emulator.

What should I do at this stage? I mean my mobile's working fine. How do I restore my IMEI? Should I restore my IMEI?

Thanks!
