I'm contemplating flashing the latest CM7 build.
At the moment I am running CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-KANG on my Wildfire S
Does anyone know if I have to factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache as if I was flashing an entirely different ROM? And will I have to reflash gapps as well?
I'd appreciate any advice on this.

I think you don't need to wipe anything bcos you are going to flash CM7 again, just newer version.
Gapps, I think you will have to reflash them
Go in cwm and install from zip. Or open the cyanogenmod zip with rom manager.
I flashed from 7.2rc1 to 7.2final a few days ago without reflashing gapps or wiping anything
Don't wipe anything. In cwm you will see it only updates your existing system.
But make an nandroid backup for sure

Hi everybody....Ive been flashing ROMs from ROM Manager and never had problems...until I tried to flash from CM7 nightlies #66 to a leaked G2 ROM][04/28/11] TMOUS G2 Gingerbread 2.13.531.5.
I did the usual wipe cache and dalvik and proceeded, it seemed like it was downloaded but got stuck on the reboot, it was stuck on the HTC logo for a long time. I thought I bricked it but managed to get it to work by taking the batterie out and going into recovery by clockworkmod.
Is there any special way to flash ROMs from the nightlies on a G2?
You said you wiped cache and dalvik, but did you wipe data too(factory reset)? Pretty sure you need to do that if coming from cm to the stock tmo leak. Could be wrong but sounds about right

that is right anytime change roms that are not linear to the same dev, it is best to wipe all, data/factory/cache then flash rom

Hmm, I checked everything that ROM Manager suggested, cache/ dalvik, the only thing I didnt check is to back up current ROM.
If you wanna wipe all that data/factory/cache do yo have to flash it manually?
Flashing other roms I think messed up my phone lol. I just stay with cm7 now lol
Nonsense!

even if you did say to wipe /system and /data in addition to /cache, CWM is notorious for not actually formatting the partition. go into the dev section and find SuperwipeG2 and if you are switching from aosp<->sense or, as earlier mentioned, from one dev's rom to another, run superwipe before doing so.
I have kind of a strange problem. When i go into clockworkmod to install a new rom, i wipe data, cache and dalvik cache but it seems like nothing gets wiped. The wipe data/factory reset seems to be the major culprate, it seems to go way to fast when i do it, like it isnt really deleting it. any advice?
Have u attempted to flash a rom or kernel? And if so, have u had any problems? What version of recovery are u using?

Yes, i was trying to go from starskyrom 2.0 to the new ics cm beta. I have clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7.
Hi guys,
When updating a current rom from one build (8/20) to the next (8/25), will I have to do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, or is it possible to just flash the newest update for this rom?
Thanks!

Its always the best to do a clean wipe so the new rom doesn't co-exist with the old bugs
Thank you!
One more question, when restoring a previous build, like a stock build or something, is it safe to go ahead and restore that rom, or do you also recommend wiping and going back to stock ICS and then restoring?
Or does wipe/factory reset basically put you back at un-root and stock ICS?
Still trying to understand all the lingo, thanks for the help.

If you are updating the same rom you don't have to do a full wipe. Just wipe cache and dalvik. AOKP --> AOKP is fine. CM10 nightly --> CM10 nightly is also fine.
If you are talking about a nandroid, you can restore those whenever you so choose. No prerequisite necessary.
Okay, so I wipe the cache, dalvik, system before flashing the ROM, and after I flash the kernel through bootloader too, but my old apps are still there and stuff?? Even though I'm coming from a totally different ROM... I have TWRP 2.3.1.0 btw.
No,since you did a full wipe

Because you did not wipe data, the old data still there.
for erasing data do factory reset.

I'm using TeamCanjica CyanogenMod 10.2. Each time I've installed a new ROM on any device I've always gone for the full wipe and flash (Data/cache/davlik) but I am wondering if I am simply updating an existing version do I need to wipe data/factory reset?
This is the procedure I'd have thought would work:
Download latest zip (Only ROM? I already have the latest GAPPS)
boot into recovery
wipe cache + davlik
flash zip
wipe cache + davlik
reboot
Would this update work and keep all my data/settings etc or would this likely cause problems with the build? If it wouldn't work is there a way to update without losing everything?
Cheers
