Factory reset, format /system
Flash rom
Edit: this is how I flash roms and I NEVER had an extra issue by doing so.

+1 :good:
Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.

after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.

Thanks for your answers

[Q] HELP!!!

i have a unlocked & rooted galaxy nexus....i flash the rom open kang build 22 & flash the gapps 4.0.4 after i rebooted. i stocked in bootanimation & hang up & appear the google logo, always like that...cannot start.....HELP please....
Wipe and reflash the ROM then Gapps, then boot.
Did you do a full wipe. Wipe factory/data, cache partition and in the advanced menu wipe dalvik cache. Then flash rom and gapps
After you flash the rom, wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash gapps. You cant just flash rom than the 4.0.4 gapps you will get the bootloop.
i already do full wipe & still the same problem?
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps
6. Reboot

In addition to doing what Eddy says, re-download the rom and Gapps.

Change to JB Custom Rom

Hey guys,
have a little question for ya. I'm still on an ICS Custom Rom and would like flash a JB Custom Rom.
Is it necessary to flash a JB Stock Rom first?
Or is it ok to upgrade like any other Rom with wipe data/factory reset?

Once you have unlocked the boot loader, installed su, then install clockwork mod, reboot into recovery.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache
mounts and storage > format /system
mounts and storage > format /data
mounts and storage > format /cache
Definitely flash to the jelly bean boot loader. That seems to get past the delay problems on reboot.
Happy flashing

[Q] How do I upgrade my CM10?

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 will try that tomorrow.. I hope it erases all my bugs..
One noob question... Full Wipe is Factory Reset?
Edit: Formated Everything except internal storage before install Rom, then.. something strange happened.. my backgroud menu was bugged.. like seeing another menu behind settings menu.. even in twrp i saw the original USB menu of stock..
Not just factory reset. A full wife is made in cwm recovery and it has 3 stages : factory wipe/data,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache, format /system.

A full wipe doesn't mean format /system. If you format system after flashing a rom then there is no rom exists in your phone anymore. Performing a factory reset also clean cache partition too.
if you would've payed attention, he mentioned he made the wipes BEFORE flashing a custom rom. so, yes, it's recommended to perform a /system format.

is this the steps correct to install cm 11 with cwm recovery[Q]

is this steps are correct to install cm 11 with cwm recovery
1-go to mounts and storage
2-format system
3-format data
4-format cache
5-go to advanced and Wipe dalvik cache
5-install zip from sd card
Yes they are.

It would be dangerous if cm11 bootload because wipe system would delete recovery and in this case the phone would damaged
because after flashing any rom i have to flash recovery again which mean that wipe system would delete recovery

My friend, Recovery is not stored on System. Only the rom and it's base files are on System partition.
The Safe Method to install CM 11 is:
Flash Clockworkmod Recovery using Nokia X Toolkit.
Then boot into recovery.
Make Backup by going into Backup And Restore --> Backup.
Wipe System.
Wipe Data.
Wipe Cache.
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Flash ROM.
Flash G-Apps.
Reboot.
The recovery will still be there after you flashed the ROM.
