Hi, i'm using Blade rom and i wanted to know if i have to go through all the process over again to update the rom suc as factory reset, flash boot.img and battery calibration. Im updating the rom from 4.6.0 to 4.7.0.

Did you even care to read the thread a little bit, i read the last 2 pages and it says you don't have to full wipe. Install the Rom over the old with only a cache and dalvik cache wipe !
Spoonfeeding all the way :banghead:

Hi everyone,
When upgrading from CM7.0 stable to CM7.02, do I have to do a full wipe and install or can I just install on top of it and keep all my apps and what not?
Thanks
You don't need to wipe at all. Just flash the rom over the top of the old one.
Some people wipe cache and dalvik cache between flashes others think its a waste of time.
The only thing I would suggest is to flash manually through CWM rather than ROM manager.

Thanks a lot!
Hello people!
Have searched the forums and also tried googling but have not found a certain, conclusive answer to my question.
The question is when do we have to wipe the cache and dalvik cache?
I know what to wipe when flashing a new ROM but what about radios, RILs and kernels? What do we have to wipe when flashing the above so as for the phone to run optimally? Before or after flashing them?
Thanks in advance
Developers of the rom will tell if a full wipe is needed , if your updating. If your coming from another rom, you need to perform a full wipe.
No wipe required when flashing radio, Ril and kernel.
If you are going to perform a wipe you do it before you flash anything.

You mean you don't even have to wipe battery stats when flashing a new Radio?
I thought otherwise but I am not certain...
Anyway, thanks for answering
As far as I know you don't need to, the only time bat sat are recommended to be wiped is when flashing a rom and you have battery issues. But others say wiping battery sat doesn't really help with battery..

Ok thanks for the info!
Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.
On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:
Open CWM
Backup
Install Darkside SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Install Darkside Cachewipe
Reboot
Wait 10 min
Reboot.
While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.
If there's a process can someone please tell me.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.

Superwipe , wipe cache and cache/dalvik install ROM and then gapps if your installing a jb 4.1.1 ROM then I would wipe everything again and then fix permissions and reboot, wait 10 min and reboot again
Please correct me if I missed a step

So does SuperWipe work for every phone?
My .zip file for SuperWipe says SGH-T989_Darkside_superwipe.zip
I would not use the super wipe script from The s2 I believe there is one floating around for ours but I do not use it ... I also recommend u use twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod

Reboot recovery
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot
Haven't had any SOD or RR, should I stick to what I did?

So, should I just stick to what I did previously?
I depends what u are looking for in a ROM..... if u like stock aosp then aokp is probably the most stable but there are tons of features on touchwiz ROMs that have me going back and forth... so its all preference really if u like stock jellybean
Then u are good where u are

Yes but the superwipe does the same thing and it was built for lazy people. I always say "what ever floats your boat". :good:
Yesterday I have rooted and installed a ROM panaroid 2.99 28 Nov kernel was hellboy cm10 at maxwen page on my HTC one v primou now after a single day my fine still a lagger and even the games and videos some time stuck and after reboot they work but not smooth can some one tell me what's the problem with my device
think made a wrong choice of rooting
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
Either you underclocked by mistake
The way to solve this prob is to reinstall the rom,because cm10 roms aren't laggy at all
When I boot in bootloader some things run 1 says no image second says wrong image and after 3-4 of these no image there is also a same thing wrong image is that thing making my phone lag ????

Its like this son...forget about formating the system,bla bla...just do as i say
1.go to recovery and backup your current Rom(if you already didn´t)
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.wipe cache
4.go to advance and wipe dalvik cache
5.go back-install zip from sd card-choose zip from sd card(Rom of your choice)
6.install zip from sd card-choose zip-gapps
7.reboot system
during the boot animation press down the power until it goes black and hold it and press volume down to go into bootloader
8.when those wrong images you see ends,choose fastboot
9.plug in your usb to pc and to your phone
10.it should say fastboot usb-now you can flash the kernel (boot.img) specific to the rom that you flashed before
when its done reboot and enjoy.
dont worry about overclocking now as these kernels are set to work out of the box(you can play with them later)
For easier kernel flashing go check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686

I have CM10.1 installed, the M Snapshot build 20130121 and I want to flash the newest M Snapshot 20130304 onto my phone. Do I have to clear the cache and everything and then restore all of my apps via TiBackup or can I just go ahead and flash this new rom and go?

You can clean flash. (Wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and wipe system)
Most people dirty flash (wipe cache and dalvik)
Dirty flashing can potentially cause some small or large issues but not always. If dirty flashing leads to issues do not report anything without doing a full wipe and a fresh install.
Make sure you also download the latest gapps that came out after the first stable cm10.1 it's made specifically for 4.2.2
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Since you're simply just flashing an update (not changing roms), you can flash the cm10.1 in recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache and reboot. This will not erase any apps or data. Always consider making a backup before flashing if you don't have an up-to-date one on your device. Cheers
