I want to flash CM9 on my Sprint Nexus and reading through the threads I cant' get the info I need.
Do i need to update any radios to do anything else before flashing this? I just rooted yesterday using the dev tool and I'm itching to flash. I came over from HTC EVO and SGS2 and the nexus is all new to me, but so far loving it. Thanks so much for the help! below is my build information:
Baseband Version:
L700.05.V.FD02/L700.FD02
Build Number:
IMM76D.L700FD02
Make sure you're running a custom recovery such as TWRP or Clockwork and you should be fine.
ROM and radios are completely separate.

Ok so I can flash without updating the Radios? I'm currently using CWM

Yes.
You already have the most updated radios.

Thanks guys!
Dammit sorry one last question.
My My EVO had an SD Card. So if i place the ROM on my Nexus and I wipe data in recovery I'm I deleting my ROM? The norm was to Flash Cache, Davlik Cache, Data, and Factory restore on my EVO. Not sure how that works now that this phone does not have an SD card. Do we not wipe data when flashing ROMs on the nexus?
when you wipe the 'sdcard' partition remains untouched so dont worry
Thank you! Here I go!! This file im downloading from http://jenkinsmanifest.clockworkmod.com/device/toroplus shows it's only 137 mb. Are ROMS on the Nexus usually this small or is there something wrong with my Download?
That's AOSP ICS for ya. Gingerbread AOSP was even smaller.

I was wondering if the radio could be the cause of this i upgraded to the fc04 /fc05 radios,i was under the impression that the framework was upgraded but not sure if i should flash back to the fa02 radios. I know stock radios have been a culprit in the past and was wondering if this still was the case . any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.Im on verizon lte by the way.
recovery, wipe cache/dalvik
if that doesnt do it:
recovery, format /system, reflash rom+gapps
if that still doesnt solve it
recovery, wipe data/factory reset, format /system, reflash rom+gapps
did you update radios with fastboot?
Yes to updating the radios, but I guess I'm wondering if the new radios are what are causing this I did a full wipe and actually a full restore. Right now I'm on the 5/10 will wait to get home to try new nightly in case I need the computer again.

The first three or four roms I ever flashed on my G-Nex got caught in the bootloop after flashing with ROM manager. Turned out I was missing the wipe cache/dalvik step, and the same zips have since all worked fine.
OK well I'm getting ready to flash the latest nightly I'll let y'all know if I boot loop again. Thanks.

I've got my evo rooted, or at least I'm pretty sure I do.
It's currently on 2.3.3, with an H-boot version of 6.16.1002, the software version is 4.24.651.1, and CWM revolutionary 4.0.1.4.
I'm looking to flash a new rom that is very well functioning. I'm just wondering if I've got everything done right so far, and if there is an official version of Cyanogen out (I'm leery about nightlies), and how well it works. The only other rom I've seen that I'm really interested in is this
So have I got everything rooted properly, before I flash are there any thing I need to avoid, and precautions I need to take?

Cyanogenmod has stable releases at http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=supersonic&type=RC
I would always do a backup in recovery just in case...other than that you should be good to go.
Thanks, I found the latest stable release.
I've done my fair share of flashing on my Droid X, but just to make sure I don't wake up to bootloops for breakfast, what are the recommended install instructions for CM?
Also, does CM include a custom kernel, and do you recommend the latest stable, or the latest RC?
Wipe data 3x
Wipe cache 3x
Wipe dalvik 3x
Flash CM
Flash gapps?
(I don't remember if you need to flash gapps with CM)
Not sure if doing each 3x is really needed but that is how I was taught and have never had issues thus far, unless it was a specific rom related issue.
As for kernel since CM is AOSP, I would say it is custom since you can not use a sense kernel on an AOSP rom.
Hope this helps!

If you are on stock sense...factory reset
So don't wipe the system, but wipe the data. (factory reset)
Does anyone know if I need gapps, and which one I'd need?
Also, should I use the latest RC, or the latest stable?

I think I'll start out trying the latest RC.
If that doesn't work out for you, or you just wanna be a whore and flash something else, give Vaelpak GB AOSP a run. I love it

I've run into a very odd roadblock...
TiBu keeps freezing before i can even do anything. I've tried reinstalling, using an older version, and fixing permissions, and its still happening the moment I touch the screen.
This isn't too big of a problem as long as I can restore all my apps (including the numerous ones on the sd card) through my CWR backup... is this possible?
I think a lot of my issues I've been having are because I took an OTA update after rooting...
Ummm, yea. The 2 do not mix. Either keep it rooted and no OTAs, or keep it stock with OTA updates (if you choose them).

I'm thinking about buying a used Nexus on Swappa and I was wondering how roms are flashed without sd cards. Can anyone answer? Thank you.

4th and 5th post in the thread
The same way as a phone with an SDcard, there is no difference. Download, boot into recovery, flash.
Op, "search" before you post.

It's the same except that you don't wipe data/media because that is where your SDcard data is located. Cwm and twrp both work well for flashing but twrp seems to work best because it doesn't give the problem with adding /0 every time you wipe and flash a new 4.2.1 rom.

Neither does updated CWM.
Hey guys, recently i tried to switch from cm10(stable) to PACman ROM. Unfortunately, it never works. I always get "flash aborted". When I flashed cm10, I flashed the at&t version and it works fine, and the PACman I'm trying to flash is the tmo one. Should i try the at&t PACman instead? Please help me guys
Oh BTW, I'm on wind if that helps
Thanks to all that help or attempt to!

I did the wipedata, cache and dalvik, i wiped everything needed, i followed all standard directions for flashing new ROMs, but nothing works. And oh, im using CWM recovery and on rom manager it says im at the latest version, so everything is up to date and everything should work but it doesnt:crying:
I had same issue too. It never worked for me if I switch from CM to PACMAN ROM. But I had it working if I flash stock ROM first then flash PACman. Any stock based ROM should work. Its a pain but you should try it. Also I used TWRP and I always wipe system too not just cache, delvik, and data. Just make sure you have nandroid. Good luck.
Edit: also I never flash PACman ROM and gapps together. Flash ROM let it boot once and go back to recovery to flash gapps..

My girlfriend is finally fed up with the garbage stock Sprint JB ROM that is a poor excuse for an update...So she's on stock 4.1.2 GB27. I'm going to one click root it, then either one click or with mobile odin flash the Gingerbread kernel EL26 with CWM...which shouldn't be used with the rom but just to get into CWM to flash a new JB rom? Does that sound right? I see people saying to run something to clear the data partition and all that, but why can't you just wipe data in CWM? I've done similar stuff with the i777 GS2 but its been 7 months probably since I rooted and did all the other stuff.
tl;dr from official sprint OTA 4.1.2 gb27 Jelly Bean:
1. one click root
2. flash gingerbread EL26 kernel with cwm
3.wipe data
4. flash rom (with packed-in kernel I assume) of choice through CWM
5. profit
does this sound right?

Those are the correct steps.
The reason we recommened the JB wipe all 2x is because it deletes the preload folder as well.
Some ROM updater-scripts don't delete everything. My ROM updater-scripts wipe everything but data. But it is still recommened to flash the wipe all script before flashing a custom ROM.

Ok cool thanks. I wanted to have someone confirm that I was doing it right and that flashing the GB kernel for cwm was right on jelly bean... Its one thing if I brick my phone, another thing if I brick my girlfriend's. But I know what I'm doing, haha.
Does that wipe script wipe internal storage like music and photos? I thought I read a thread saying to wipe everything if not on JB, but I am.
Either way, thanks again

No it doesn't delete your internal drive. And since you are on Jb already, your partitioning should be good to go. No need to wipe internal, just jb format x2. Good luck.
