Hi all,
I've recently installed a rom from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383820,
it was the 15 september version. Now the TS announced a new rom ( 1 october 2013).
Is there a way to install the new rom, without wiping all apps and data? I have CWM installed.
Since i don't have 10 posts yet, I was forced to ask here and not in the thread itselft.

if you from september 14 build, you dont have to full wipe
but full wipe is recommended, backup your apps with titanium backup first. its up to you

Hi guys,
When updating a current rom from one build (8/20) to the next (8/25), will I have to do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, or is it possible to just flash the newest update for this rom?
Thanks!

Its always the best to do a clean wipe so the new rom doesn't co-exist with the old bugs
Thank you!
One more question, when restoring a previous build, like a stock build or something, is it safe to go ahead and restore that rom, or do you also recommend wiping and going back to stock ICS and then restoring?
Or does wipe/factory reset basically put you back at un-root and stock ICS?
Still trying to understand all the lingo, thanks for the help.

If you are updating the same rom you don't have to do a full wipe. Just wipe cache and dalvik. AOKP --> AOKP is fine. CM10 nightly --> CM10 nightly is also fine.
If you are talking about a nandroid, you can restore those whenever you so choose. No prerequisite necessary.
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.
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've been flashing the nightly cyaongenmod 10.1 builds on my i747m using cwm.
Is there a way to prevent losing all the settings and apps that I have? For example, if I don't clear data/cache will this cause bad things to happen?
Or is there another way to do this?

Get titanium backup and do a full backup of your apps/data. When you restore, dont restore any system app but you can restore the rest.
And to avoid problems, always clear cache/dalvik.

All you need to do is download the new nightly that you wanna flash, boot into recovery, flash the nightly. If you have any other files that you wanna flash like a kernel, flash them after the nightly. Clear cache & dalvik cache & reboot. You won't lose any apps or settings doing it this way. This is how I update every day. Now if you wanna do a clean install every single time you update, that's another story. The way I just explained to you will work just fine. There is no need in wiping EVERYTHING for every update.

It's not only about wiping everything (Clean flash), having a backup is always good and *needed* imo. Never know when something will go wrong, could be as simple as a corrupted download.
So just to confirm, if I download the latest nightly, boot into cwm, clear cache and dalvik, but don't delete user data, then flash ROM and gapps, it will have all my settings and apps already setup?

Thanks. I didn't think about mentioning that. It's kind of a given to me to keep a good nandroid. Some people may not know though. Thanks for adding that.

I have a touchwiz nandroid and a cm10 nandroid on my SD card and my computer.
Will I have to flash gapps again or will that already be there?

Gotta flash the Gapps everytime you flash a ROM. (Their respective one)

You will only have to flash Gapps the first time. If you update like I told you, you will not have to flash them.

Changing from stable to nightly
Hi,
I'm currently running on a cm 10.1.3 stable (note 2 N7100). I would like to install cm-11-20141027-NIGHTLY-n7100. Do i have to do a complete wipe or just flash the downloaded file from recovery.
cm upgrade manually w/o losing data

Does it apply to stable updates and upgrades also and not only for nightly?
Can I use the same method for updating CM11s to CM12 whenever they release...?
Titanium Backup
Will the Titanium Backup * root be the correct one, or the Titanium Pro?
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
