Don't format the system if you don't have an unlocked bootloader as it wipes CWM from the system, so you need to reflash and start from scratch.

Locked BL or Unlocked BL:
Download .zip file and extract to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, than boot to cwm, select backup and restore and choose the before Copied Backup File, wait and reboot when finished and enjoy the 100% Optimized ROM!

Full Wipe
You should have done a full wipe (Wipe cache, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik Cache) and formatted data, cache and system in mount and storage via CWM before restoring the back up restore of ice bean.

Factory reset = Wipe cache + Wipe data
So, basically, you need to do factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format system and then restore the backup.
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
Hi All,
So I've just unlocked my bootloader, flashed .79 firmware and flashed DooMKernel v14
My question is what do i need to do before installing the ROM from my SD card
Format the phone "Factory Reset"?
Wipe dalvik cache?
Wipe cache partition?
Also if I'm wanting to try another ROM do I need to do any of the above before installing a different one?
Thanks

Yes wipe data(factory reset), then wipe dalvik cache and cache. You need to do this when switching ROMs. If its an update of same ROM and OP say there is no need for wipes then dont, otherwise always wipe.

Re: Before installing ROM
Dalvik is contained in /data if I remember. I thought it was system, data, and cache that you had to wipe.

Yep I agree
I do the following:
(1) Wipe cache/data/advanced dalvik cache
(2) Mounts&Storage format cache/data/system
(3) Install rom.
Maybe you do not need to do all that but I do and don't get any bootloops
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.

Your welcome. You can hit Thanks on the post next time.
I have the xperia z-ized v3.1 rom and I thought to update it from OTA. But when I try to update it closes and shows me a toast message saying invalid md5. Now I have downloaded the v3.4 manually from the OP in the thread and also the samsung keyboard. But do I have to wipe anything before flashing or can I flash directly?

I am not a user of the rom, but a common rule is that if there is a change in base, full wipe is highly recommended.
If it is just an update and not a change in base, then full wipe is still recommended but if you try to dirty flash and not come up with any problem, it's good.
I hope I helped...

I'm sorry but does full wipe mean wipe data/factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache? And what does dirty flash mean? Sorry if I sound noob but I'm new to all these terms..

It's fine.
Full wipe: /data, /system, /cache, /dalvik-cache (optional: Internal storage)
Dirty flash is flashing an update over your current version without wiping /data
