[Q] upgrade from 2.2 to cyanogen 10.1

[sharathk]

hi,

i currently have cognition 4.5.3 (Firmware Version 2.2)
can i upgrade to CyanogenMod 10.1 without upgrading bootloaders/kernels.
i do have ClockWorkMod installed and the phone is rooted.
the reason i'm asking is my phone usb doesn't seem to work and it seems that's the only way we can upgrade bootloaders.

thanks

Not sure i would chance it, because if something goes wrong and u get stuck in a bootloop or whatever, then u would maybe need to get into download mode and reflash stock...which u would not be able to do in ur situation. Imho.

Don't Try directly.. you'll get your phone bricked for sure. Try installing Cyanogenmod 7 and then upgrading it to latest CM version. Miui installation is also s direct option here...

There are some specific instructions and cm7 isn't part of it.

Best way from Froyo is Odin kk4 with bootloaders, flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85, flash CM9 and then CM10 twice (cause it has to rebuild its partition).
