Just to be sure:
I have installed AR 6.1.1 and want to install 6.1.5. I don't have to superwipe, right? Just copy 6.1.5 on sd, boot in recovery mode and choose the software?

Yes, you can just flash it over your current rom. Superwipe is a MUST if you come from version 5.x.x or earlier or from another rom.
Edit: It is recommended to clear cache and dalvik cache each time you perform a rom update.

Hope this will help you...........
Instructions
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied. A guide in pictures
4. (optional) Wipe data+cache before rebooting. It may or may not work OK to not wipe data but it's propably best to wipe.A guide in pictures
5. If you skip step 4 because you are upgrading you MUST still clear the dalvik-cache because of JIT being enabled in RLS6.

[Q] update nightly version, steps are correct?

i would like update the latest version of nightly, and i do not wanna reinstall the apps, so i prepare to flash as follows, but i can not sure it is safe or not,
1.down the latest version and copy it to the SD card
2.reboot, when the led turns blue, press V-,go to Bootmenu
3.select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select the latest version.
some guys said "wipe cache" & "wipe dalvik cache", is that necessary? if i do not, the phone will not work or sth? anyone who can tell me? thx...
ps: i just do not wanna install all apps again and keep my google account as well as the sms and call log. what should i do?
thank you in advance.
do a wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after you install the update . thats about it
As flunk03 said, wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the nightly. You will still have the apps installed from the previous version.
Why wipe cache and Dalvik cache before and after instalation?

thank you all
but last time, after wipe, all sms and call logs gone, and some apps also disappeared, several apps were installed in the SD card, so i have to remove them to the phone memory?
you must have selected wipe data/factory reset . so i ll just rewrite my earlier post
1.Use titanium backup to backup ur apps
2. Boot into recovery and make a backup of your existing rom
3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after you flash the update
4. calibrate your battery after you install the update only if the update is stable

[Q] ViperX venom tweaks won´t stick - flash problems

When installing the new uppdate ViperX 3.3.0 - can I do a full wipe and install that or do I need the former versions first (3.2-3.2.4)?
I´ve had problems flashing numerous times but finally got it on the phone and then made the 2 other uppdates ota to 3.3.2 but when I´m in the venom tweaks and change the max cpu to 1300 and changes back to 1500 after a while and sometimes after reboots.
I checked the ticker "aply settings on boot". Sometimes the min cpu freq also changes by itselfes to 1300....
The "mount system r/w" ticker also never stays checked....
I´ve had problems flashing, it only worked when I didn´t do a full whipe on the 3.3.0 version.
Sometimes the flash crashed after 10-15% and sometimes when the flash was ok and finished I ended up on the white htc logo.
I did this:
1: Move the zip file to htc in my download folder.
2. using winrar, get the boot.img file - moved that to my Boot_Flash_Script folder.
3. Go to Bootloader
4. Connect htc one x to the pc - fastboot usb
5. In the Boot_Flash_Script folder - dubbelclick on the flash-boot-windows file.
The boot.img flashes ok and also the cache is cleared.
6. unplugg the htc and go into recovery.
7. Using Aroma Installer I wipe cache, wipe dalwik cache and (maybe this is wrong) wipe System.
8. Then I click Install - find the zip file and excecute that.
9. Choose the stock kernel.
10. Full wipe.
11. flashes.
Then it sometimes crashed at 10-15% or flashes ok and when i hit "Reboot" it hangs itself on the white htc logo.....
This also happened when I tried to flash Icecoldjelly…
What am I doing wrong?
Noooob-thanks,
Nothing really, but download the latest full rom and check the MD5 number, flash the boot.img again and do a full wipe in recovery....
Wipe cache partition
Wipe data/factory reset
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Just to be sure and then install the Rom.zip. choose in the aroma for a full wipe again and continue....the question about the kernel you answered correct with NO.
the mhz option probably doesn't stick because there is only a stock kernel available, we don't have custom kernels yet ....
When wipeing and factory reset, does it erase anything on my sd-card?
It shouldn, right, since its on sdcard0...?
Even with a factory reset it shouldn't erase nothing?
Nope
Great.
Thanks!
So after flashing the boot.img, go into recovery and basicly wipe everything except external storage?!
Under "Mount" there are 4 tickers : Mount System, Mount Data, Unmount Cache, Unmount SD Card.
Unmount Cache & Unmount SD Card are checked....
What to do there?
And then just flash the Rom, Full wipe in Aroma, chose stock kernel and that should do it?!
I will quote myself ! Do NOT touch the mount stuff only touch the FORMAT stuff
And ofcourse you do NOT format sdcard !!!

Flashed the boot.img.
Wiped everything and did a factory reset then flashed the Rom and it worked.
Think the factory reset did the trick - the only thing I didn´t do before.
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Finally !!!
