Question. I just rooted my phone and I wanna install CM10. I downloaded the latest nightly build and the Gapps. Can I go straight to running a nightly build with this being the first one im running? I ask because I got like 10 different answer from friends and I figure someone here knows the correct answer.
Yes you can. Just make sure you follow all instructions and read the OP (wipe system, data, cache & dalvik). Make sure you have a custom recovery installed as well, I'm sure you do since your rooted but just in case.

Do a full wipe cache/ dalvik cache/ factory reset /system /day.
Then install both cm10 and gapps reboot system then enjoy!
Rooted Evo dead
Rooted Evo shift dead
Rooted Galaxy s3 alive and well!
Yep, you can... a nightly is a full build, it's not a differential or anything that requires a previous CM to be installed first. Wipe and install as per instructions as others have said, no problem.

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'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

So here is my given situation in hand.
1) I Unlocked and rooted my phone and upgraded to jelly bean from ICS.
2) Then later on installed Cyanogenmod rom (team shogun rufdroid)
3) While trying to upgrade. i screwed up and wiped and reinstalling the rom again and for some reason soft keys were missing so i had to wipe complete data and roll back to jelly bean 4.1.1.
4) Now how do i install custom roms now, coz if i use a g nex tool kit v9.1.it says my phone is already rooted and there seems to be a problem loading a bootloader.
I d appreciate if somebody can help me out with this..im still a novice ..trying to learn.
Damn it, don't use a toolkit.

why step 3? if you had an issue with the rom you flashed, why not just wipe data and redownload that rom and flash it again from your recovery. or wipe data and flash a different rom. wiping data doesnt remove your rom, and doesnt take you back to stock, and doesnt remove root access. it just removes user data.
root toolkits are the absolute worst things to use on nexus devices. they prevent you from learning the very easiest basic procedures. without knowing the basic procedures, you should not even consider modifying your device in any way. learn about what you are doing/what you want to do, then root your device.

Don't use a toolkit....download the ROM and GApps onto your phone directly....download a file explorer like Astro or ES and make a folder where you want to keep your stuff or just keep them in the downloads folder.....I prefer twrp but you can use CWM or w/e custom recovery you want...now it depends if your upgrading your current ROM with a newer version of your ROM or not....let's start with a complete clean flash....reboot into recovery and make sure you have a backup of at least your current data....if you do do a factory reset wipe system wipe cache wipe dalvik cache (this is all done in recovery mode)....go to previous menu and then go to install....install the ROM FIRST!!!!!!! then the GApps....(newer ROMs have GApps included so make sure you read everything before you install anything). Once you install the ROM and GApps you can go to restore and restore data only....clear the cache and dalvik again then go to advanced and then fix permissions....hit reboot and then reboot system.....now this is my process others might do it differently and you may as well once you get a little better at it.....now a dirty flash would be something like if you are just upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM..... You would download the ROM and GApps reboot recovery wipe cache and dalvik install newer version of ROM and GApps (if applicable on the GApps portion).....once installed clear cache and dalvik again then advanced and then fix permissions then reboot....for kernels you just have to clear the cache and the dalvik cache and then install the kernel unless otherwise indicated..... Good luck let me know what happens and if you have any problems let me know
Seriously, there's no need to wipe caches, when flashing kernels or roms!
Factory reset, or factory reset+format /system at best. Most roms will wipe /system on their own.

Like the poster above said, the biggest issue when flashing to a 4.2.1 ROM is to make sure that you are on the latest recovery image. Using GooManager from the market makes flashing the latest TWRP easy. From there be sure to wipe properly.
I've never needed to fix permissions on any of the ParanoidAndroid ROMs, so I'm not sure that it will be a problem.
Not entirely sure as am noob but the fix zip i think is a fix for gps issues resulting from 4.2 bugs, i installed it as well its only about 1mb havent had any problems yet apart from fc browser which seems to be common across stock and custom so prob original update to blame

I am new to rooting and rom'ing. I was able to root my Hercules using clockwork 6.0 and was in the process of installing cm10 and it froze up, and after i rebooted it got stuck in a boot loop. I did do a back up of my stock rom and have gotten it to factory reset back to astock rooted rom, not sure if it is my backup stock rom. The process that I read to rom it is to install darkside wipe, then cm10, then gapps. I have wiped data, cache and davlik cache, i am trying to get it to install cm10, but it doesn't seem to want to install. what should i do to get it to start over and get cm10 rom on?
I would only use the Darkside wipe scripts on CWM 5.X. Use Odin to reflash the recovery of your choice and then format system, factory reset, and then flash CM10.

Thanks, I didn't know that, guess the instruction i found were a little outdated. I'll try your suggestion. What do mean by formattin it? (I thought the factory reset does that?) Also how long should it take for cm10 to install?

Formatting the system only formats the /system partition and wipe data formats the /data partition.
What do you mean?

You missed /System as well [hence why the stock ROM booted again otherwise if you actually formatted where the ROM was there is no backup ROM.
You should move to Jellybean [I have used ParanoidAndroid as a daily druver for months now and it is newer [Android 4.1.2].,
No matter which ROM you choose, first boot phone
download ROM Manager [Free is fine]
Open it, grant Super User
Tap top-most option to install Clockwork Recovery and it will walk you through getting etiher the non-touch for free or paying $2 for touch recovery [unless you flashed that via Odin then skip], but need to be sure you have newest CWM and not an old one from a rooting guide that been around.
Boot to recovery wi[e cache
tap advanced wipe dalvick
go back one menu
go to mounts and storage tap to wipe system, and data
go back one menu to main
tap install zip from SDCard
Tap internatl or external wherver you saved it and find the CM 10 you downloaded and tap and flash it
do the same but find where you saved the gapps pack
now restart device and enjoy
continual boot loop...tried everything here.

I got cm10 on for about 20 minutes then CWM updated to 6.x. I flashed a nightly and it's been in a bootloop ever since. However, when I was on CM10 those few brief minutes I could not hear or he heard on a call.
No idea what to do now. I'm stuck on 2.3.6 unless there's some other trick I can do to get this thing to boot...
Why not just try a different rom? Lots of options out there.
Also, watch the dates on the how to's you read. A lot can be outdated.
