Do I have to perform a factory reset before flashing a Rom if I'm coming from stock?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
Yes... Btw, whatever rom u flash.... Its writen there in every op....
not necessary
^^why??:what::screwy::sly:
its when you changing the rom not when you updating it
R: Flashing a rom
Just factory reset every time, it's better this way
Just do factory reset. Its better to avoid unexpected behavior of new ROM u installed.

Install 4ext recovery, do a full wipe and try installing again...

Yeah I think the problem is probably not wiping dalvik cache, cache partition and performing factory reset. Clear everything then try again.

I have got a update for cm10.1.0 RD2 and was wondering, if I updated my ROM, would I have to re-flash my boot image again? I have tweaked the karnel for a SD card boost, that's it. Also I have customised my ROM using ROM toolbox pro, would I loose all my customisation and apps after updating my ROM? If so, does anyone know how I could get everything back after the update has finished? Thanks

Wrong Place
it should go in Q/A side
Funny thing how someone else said that a similar question in the Q/A side was in the wrong place. Do you know if I would have to then?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well if you place it in a ROM section then I suggest at least to place it in original android section. This is the 'HTC sense' development section where most people don't know anything about cm10.

I told you to ask such questions in the respective ROM thread... meaning cm10.1 rom thread and not the Original Android Development... lol :silly:

Of course u loose all of them when u re-flash.
just u titatium backup, back up app and data. When reflash, just restore app+data. That's all. Hope that helps
So my wife wants me to flash a rom on her still stock phone. ! Every time I flash one on my phone I reset it to factory settings just for the whole new phone feel. But she doesn't want to lose her stuff. Will a new rom mess with any of her things.

If u dirty wipe she wont lose anything. But a clean wipe is recomemded. Also i found after a clean wipe that the ROM feels faster. Gud luck flashing.

What is dirty and clean wipe
Sent from my LG-VM696 using xda premium
It might not make a difference but its a HTC one x.
Sent from my LG-VM696 using xda premium
u can back up all data with titanum back up
A clean wipe is when u wipe : data, cachè, dalvic.
Dirty wipe : only cachè, and dalvic
Trust me it wil differ had tried both on my Gnex and galaxy ace both had superior performance when on clean wipe.

Hello there,
I can't help but notice a increased battery drainage after flashing viper 3.7.7 and I think it is caused by com.htc.launcher?
I didn't do a full wipe when going from 3.7.5 to 3.7.7 by OTA. Maybe reflashing full Rom will help? Open for suggestions

Wipe cache
Wipe system
Factory reset right?
I don't have the right tools atm to flash and copy the zip again so I will try to do this later!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Wipe dalvik cache
Format cache,data,system in the mounts and storage too to be sure
Wiped all but would not boot up again.. very weird. Restored nandroid and will wipe and flash 3.7.7 full Rom when I get home see if that helps

So many things effect battery life, there isn't a be all end all fix.
You will have to try Rom/kernel combos.

Why after flashing most of 4.3 roms it boot an works perfect until i reboot? It stuck on note 2 logo. factory reset failed. I can only wipe data and reflash rom or restore my 4.1.2 backup.

Do a clean wipe before flashing. ....always be on latest recovery

Whenever you flash a new rom, don't flash any mods directly. Complete the initial setup, wait for 5 minutes for the rom to settle, then reboot. Later you may flash mods

Everything like you wrote, after flashing rom always do first boot. After this works great until i reboot phone.
Also do a tutorial by someone, factory reset-flashing rom, wipe cache and dalvic-flashing gapps for 4.3 and wipe cache/dalvic-reboot and also doesnt work.

Uhm, i'm guessing you tried to flash the new 4.3 Leak ROM
Bet you 10$ you didn't flash the new Bootloader before flashing the MJ5 or MI6 ROM?
You lose , i flash mj5 bootloader first

Good
I don't what else could be the problem. Tried Super Wipe? (Philz recovery ---> Wipe Data/Factory Reset ---> Clean before installing new ROM?)
