[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.

I always flash like that never have a problem. Never reflash after flash. Try to flash another ROM OP to see if it was the ROM or not.

Installing new version of CyanogenMod

I'm contemplating flashing the latest CM7 build.
At the moment I am running CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-KANG on my Wildfire S
Does anyone know if I have to factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache as if I was flashing an entirely different ROM? And will I have to reflash gapps as well?
I'd appreciate any advice on this.

I think you don't need to wipe anything bcos you are going to flash CM7 again, just newer version.
Gapps, I think you will have to reflash them

Go in cwm and install from zip. Or open the cyanogenmod zip with rom manager.
I flashed from 7.2rc1 to 7.2final a few days ago without reflashing gapps or wiping anything
Don't wipe anything. In cwm you will see it only updates your existing system.
But make an nandroid backup for sure

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.

[Q] Updating [ROM] AOKP JellyBean "Nightly"

Right now I am running jb build 5, and I want to update it to jb milestone 1.
My question is simple, can you dirty flash it? I know that people who ask about dirty flash should be "killed", but I'm new to this Android and flashing ROM.

U can dirty flash it. But if it bricks your phone don't get mad. If I was you I would wipe wipe and wipe some more ...
But like you said, your new to android. Do what you think is right for your phone.
Good luck

Seriously?
Dirty flash it. People who clean flash every nightly like wasting their time. I've outlined my feelings on this issue more than once. Wipe Dalvik and be done with it.

I have always dirty flashed AOKP between builds on my previous phone with only wiping cache/dalvik cache. Only time I full wipe is when there are significant changes or Android version jump. Never had any problems. Here's my recommendation for dirty flashing:
If you have Google Wallet installed on /system partition, reset it first.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Run a nandroid backup. Always do this.
4. Copy the nandroid backup to your PC or somewhere safe
5. Flash the new build
6. Flash gapps
7. Flash custom kernel (optional)
8. Reboot and profit
Dirty flash or full wipe flash, there always are possibilities for problems. Sometimes you could have a bad flash, just reflash or restore the nandroid and reflash.

Thanks for all of the responses, I'll just dirty flash it. Also I have brick my phone twice now and was able to unbrick it, so I'm not really worry about bricking it again.

How to update GSIII with CyanogedMod 10.2 Nightlies

Less than a week ago, I was able to flash cm-10.2-20130917-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip onto my girlfriend's Galaxy S III. She hates when I update her phone because it means I have to wipe everything and she has to start from scratch by signing into Google again, signing into all her Wi-Fi connections, re-downloading apps and signing in, etc.........
Now because I installed a nightly, that means there will obviously be a new update from CyanogenMod every 1-2 days.
My question is..
Is there a way I can update her phone with each nighty without having to do a full wipe on her phone and instead just "updating" the ROM without having to wipe everything? Can someone please provide me with the steps? I'm sure if it's possible, it's very easy. I just don't know myself. Thank you in advanced.
The phone is a T-Mobile Galaxy S III (SGH-T999) and it has ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.7

As long as you stay with the same version, CM10.1 or CM10.2, you can dirty flash (without wiping all of the user data.

By dirty flash, do you mean:
1) Reboot into recovery
2) Perform backup
3) Install ZIP (then choose the newly downloaded nightly
4) Reboot
Basically skip the step where I would perform a data wipe?

Yes, but it doesn't hurt to wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions while you are in there, and don't forget to flash GApps too.

I'd say just flash the stable release.
