Hello,
Is it necessary to factory reset my one x when i am just updating a rom to a newer version?
The rom in question is endeavoru AOSP. I am on version 33, but i updated it to version 35 and some items are missing, and for example the play store will not open.
Thank you
I always wipe data, cache, system, and dalvik cache before I flash any rom. Just make sure to back up

In most of the cases it is not necessary to factory reset your phone when U just update the rom itself (unless rom chef is saying it explicitly to full wipe)
Just flash boot.img in fastboot and then erase cache.
In CWM erase cache and dalvik flash rom and then fix permission.
For your market issue: system settings->apps->all->google play store->force stop->clear data. Reboot and look if it's working again.

Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img
Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !
You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

Correct. Listen to him and PLEASE make a back-up. I forgot to mention that.
I'm running TeamNDVRu's CM9 α7 and I want to upgrade to β2. The beta 2 changelog says:
No wipe needed, only go into Manage Apps/All/Camera and wipe camera app data.
Boot.img didnt change from alpha-12/beta-1, no need to fastboot flash if upgrading from those.

Since I'm only on alpha 7 I presume I'll need to flash boot.img again and also delete the camera app. data. as it says. I'm guessing when in recovery I should wipe the Dalvik VM cache and the cache partition as well.
The one thing I'm not sure on is whether or not I'll need to wipe the data (factory reset) as well?
Bump.

There's been a few versions between m8, I would imagine full wipe is best. But you can always try with just wiping Dalvik and the cache partition. If you get any problems then full wipe (factory reset)
Total newb question but on the CM10 thread they say:
Instructions:
First time flashing CyanogenMod 10 your device, or coming from another ROM?
Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
Perform a factory reset.
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

.... they don't say how to flash if you are upgrading.
Some in the thread say that they just "dirty flash" it.
What exactly is a "dirty flash"?

dirty flash means you didnt wipe data/cache.
most of the time, you can dirty flash newer versions of the same rom over the older version of the rom you have.
HOWEVER, if you have problems, you need to wipe data/cache and reflash the rom completely

Guess I might as well wipe the cache and dalvik even on a dirty flash?
Thanks
I upgraded from CM10 M1 to M2 with only a wipe of Dalvik cache. Works fine.
I finished installing M2 after wiping both the cache and dalvik cache (figured I would do the cache just in case).
Worked great!
Thanks all

***what Nexus version do you have?*** i've used the below instructions with GSM GNex***
If you're coming from an AOSP CM9 rom, Do the following :
Download Maguro (or your models ROM+Gappsl).
- boot into recovery.
- Preform NANDroid Backup.
- Wipe Dalvik cache.
- Wipe Factory reset.
- Wipe Cache.
- install zip from SDcard>choose zip from SDcard>ROM.zip (your ROM)
- Flash Gapps.zip
- Flash kernel.zip (if you have one)
- go to Advanced> Fix Permissions
- Reboot system now !
- Enjoy.
***I've used this method for a trillion flashes !***
No need to wipe anything when updating nightlies. Like it was said before, wipe data and reflash when you face problems.

I'm updating with CyanogenMod nightlies at the moment. Should I wipe data and cache each time? Won't this mean reinstalling all apps and logging back in? At the moment I don't wipe but just update each time a new version comes along.
No need to wipe data... just wipe cache partition and dalvic cache.. flash rom and gapps. Reboot.
Bit of confusion on my behalf sorry... I"m using ROM Manager and after downloading it asks if you want to update and if you want to backup existing ROM and wipe data. I sometimes back up existing so I can go back but never wipe data.
No need to wipe anything. No need to flash gapps either.

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
