Was trying to follow this posts guidelines for CM11 since so many people are having problems getting data:

I assume your on sprint . Your actually doing more stuff than is required or needed . Instead of loading Jellybean I'd one click ICS FL24 Rooted NoData from Rwilco
Then mobile odin and load El29 DirectBoot kernal also at rwilco . Its the only one I've ever used and worked flawlessly always . Its imperative that while your booted into FL24 you need to go ahead and update your profile and prl and make sure your telephony and data us all working and ready to go before you flash EL29 or anything else . Mobile odin and flash EL29 . Once you load el29 cwm flash HoodPope Nov 22 build and you don't have to boot into the rom , just hold your keys and go right back into recovery . You don't have to do that x2 stuff and by flashing FL24 you already have the modem you need if your on sprint . Then just flash Villumnati and pa gapps mini modular . Before you flash Villmanti do factory data reset , wipe cache and wipe Dalvik , flash Vil and Gapps and there ain't a reason in the world you shouldn't be up and running fine with data . There is no trick with this rom and its not that finicky about gapps . It runs great .
As Kthomson said in the next post you could forego loading Hoodpope and just load the Blasphemy kernal he recommended instead .

Everything goes pretty well except when i get to the part reset data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and flash Vil and Gapps my gpapps complains:
Code:
"PA GApps Mini modular 4.4.2 - 20140307
mounting system....
andriod 4.4.x. rom detected
insufficient sotrage space available in system partition. you may want to use a small gapps (micro gapps)
Should i be trying to flash micro gapps? Why can't the phone even handle the mini? I can boot into CM11 now but tons of crashing since i was unable to update gapps, plus still no data.
Yes, use the micro gapps. When CM11 flashed on the device. It takes up about 400 or megs of the system partition. Our device has 503MB total for the system partition. Mini gapps in total is around 125-128 I believe. Add the 400 megs and how many megs the mini gapps are... Insufficient room in the system partition.
As for data, flash the Jan 12 build and make sure you are on an ICS modem.

I would rather suggest the DHO gapps on the VANIR thread under original development. Its right about 80MBs and has always booted right up with any rom I run and I'm a flashaholic to say the least. Apps are debloated way down in size and have some nice tweaks. Just my 2 cents. With a flash
Look to get micro. Its 86

Depends on what you're flashing. If you're just updating GAPPS or to a new version of the same ROM you don't have to do a full wipe. That'd be a hassle. Only wipe if they recommend it for the update, or you're switching to a completely different ROM.

You can restore user apps + data. I would stay away from restoring system data as it usually causes more problems than its worth. As a precaution I like to do a nandroid of the clean ROM before batch restoring with TiBU, because restoring lots of apps can mess things up and you don't wanna wipe and reflash because you borked a restore.

no and no
25 is the full rom (outside of gapps) and i think more current than milestone 3.
all you'd need to do is flash aokp 25 and then gapps.
Thanks very much guys i m going to try it right now and we ll see if i succeed..
Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img
Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !
You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

Correct. Listen to him and PLEASE make a back-up. I forgot to mention that.
Generally whenever I install a new rom (update or not) I will use the following steps:
download rom / put on sd
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe dalvik and cache partition
Format System
flash rom
flash gapps
Reboot
This has always worked without fail and in this case it seems to have worked again.
However, I noticed in my settings menu that I no longer have "launcher options" under interface. Has this option been removed from the newest nightly? or has something gone wrong during my flash?
Used:
clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att
cm-10-20121111-NIGHTLY-d2att
JB-4.2-Gapps-signed.zip
Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH 1747
Carrier: Bell
EDIT: Also receiving: Android is upgrading, starting apps on every single reboot. Still loads fine but minor annoyance.
EDIT2: Figured it out, installing the 4.2 gapps was causing all problems. Reverted back to the 4.1.2 gapps and everything is fine. Thread can be closed.
SOLVED!
Could I ask: Did you have to reflash the ROM to fix this? Or just flash an older version of the gapps?
I have the same problem and just got all my apps back ... would rather not have reflash the ROM and then restore everything if I don't have to.

You do not have to wipe data if the rom is the same. Just wipe cache/dalvik and then reflash rom/gapps 4.1.2.
Installing home2launcher will also wipe away your option of launcher under settings. Which is unfortunate.

Helping my aunt do her phone to add google edition rom 4.2.2 i know how to root and install cwm but I know I need to transfer the rom do I need to transfer it on sd card because wipe data factory reset will delete all internal storage? And using that rom do I need to flash the tmobile kernel?
You need to flash the T-Mobile kernel, if you want to put the ROM on the internal SD card simply flash it first then wipe.

It doesn't matter whether you put the ROM zip on the external SD card or the internal memory. Before you flash a ROM you want to wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system.. not after. Wiping those partitions won't touch your internal storage; though it is true that if you want a clean slate after flashing the GE4.2.2, you could go through the steps, then wipe internal storage only AFTER the flash.

Can you link to me the tmobile kernel I want to make sure I get the right one so I have no problems and
it's only the ge edition 4.2.2 and 4,3 needs tmobile kernel right but the rest don't?
and wipe data factory reset deletes internal right?
So flash first then wipe data factory reset?
Sorry for the excessive questions I'm only used to doing my lg optimus
Download the Rom you want to flash.
If it is not for the SGH M919 (T Mobile S4), you will need to also download ANY SGH-M919 Kernel.
Cut out the middle man and just grab a GE rom from the T Mobile Development Thread.
(I recommend this one):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43635198#post43635198
Throw the rom onto your external SD.
I recommend wiping everything for a clean slate, especially because you are changing everything about the phone, (data, factory reset, caches, internal, system).
This rom specifically gives you a nice little Aroma (or customization) while flashing the rom onto the phone.
Hope this helps.

T-Mobile kernels are in the Original Android Development section here. And no, it's not JUST the 4.2.2 and 4.3 needing TMO kernels; it's ANY Galaxy S4 ROM you flash outside of the T-Mobile development section. Best way to remember, if you download it from the T-Mobile section, no need to flash a kernel. If you download the ROM from any other S4 section, you WILL need a T-Mobile kernel. Also worth noting is that there are kernels for TouchWiz and AOSP/CM. A TouchWiz kernel will not work on AOSP/CM and vice versa. The GE 4.2.2, having the TouchWiz framework, can use any of the TouchWiz kernels here (not AOSP, also useless information if you d/l from the TMO dev section); but I won't comment on what kernels the 4.3 can use as I'm not exactly sure.
And as for what to wipe, it depends on what recovery you're using; I haven't used CWM in almost a year, so if you use CWM my recommendations may be a little off. I've used TWRP ever since it was ported to my previous device, so my directions are from using TWRP; the only time internal storage will be wiped is if you select it from the advanced wipe menu. None of the other options (dalvik cache, system, data, cache) will wipe your internal storage. If you are simply changing between different TouchWiz ROMs, there is no need to wipe data. The data partition should work fine between all TouchWiz ROMs. If I'm switching between TW ROMs, the order I use is to: wipe dalvik, system, and cache at one time; then flash the ROM and, if the ROM isn't for the M919, flash kernel. The only difference in my method when moving from TW to CM or vice versa is that I format data also. I haven't experienced too many problems saving data between ROMs of the same type; i.e. ParanoidAndroid and CM, or different versions of TouchWiz... but if you're moving from a CM variant to a TouchWiz ROM, it's really a good idea to go ahead and wipe your data partition.
And as always, if you experience problems in any ROM you flash, try wiping everything (dalvik, system, data, and cache) and trying from a clean slate. Another thing to keep in mind, if you use TiBu to backup your apps and data, there can be problems if using app data between CM and TW. When you restore, be sure to check App only and not App+data. I definitely wouldn't recommend interchanging app data between 4.3 and ANY version of 4.2.2.
Hie Friends I Have News For You... Somehow I Manage to have network on CM11 FXP317... I want to share those steps for you Guys...
Caution...
Steps Are experimental... These steps works for me... Hope they Will work for you too...i'm working On them...
Requirements...
1. XMS with stock 4.3 Rooted With CWM Recovery...
2. CM11 317 or Above (Mine is FXP317) + Gapps
Steps...
1. Boot your 4.3 stock and uninstall all user apps + useless stock apps + Google apps and make your rom clean rooted or you can restore backups of this link
2. Making Maximum free space on Internal Storage is Important otherwise u can not get more installation space on CM11...
3. After this settings boot up in recovery and follow steps below...
wipe cache partition >> Go to mounts and storage >> format data and cache >> Go to Advanced >> format dalvik cache...
(Caution - Don't do wipe data/factory reset or format system or anything which can clean your system partition...)
4. After doing this flash your CM11 Zip directly on base of your 4.3 stock + flash gapps (only if you uninstalled your 4.3 gapps)...
5. After flashing reboot your phone and you will see network on your CM11...
6. In Addition you can use these steps to swap your internal with your SD...
More Tips...
Google apps of our android 4.3 dosent supports in 4.4 cm11 so it is necessary to uninstall all google apps before flashing CM11... otherwise you will get error after flashing CM11...
Credits...

Huh? Uninstalling apps / deleting files from internal storage fully unnecessary for installing CM.
Because it fits only in /system partition, installation process don't care about free space on internal storage.
And anyway you wipe /data from recovery, so all user apps will be surely deleted and there will be full free space.
System apps will be deleted too:

gapps stored in /system partition
With installing CM11 that partition formatted > all deleted > no "base of 4.3 stock"
There no any reason remove it while phone on 4.3
Cause of your error was something other.

really bro..all these are unnecessary ..
flash 4.3 ftf of c1904 or c1905[i just used c1904] ...boot it once..now power off
now flash cm11 kernel,wipe data,cache,system
now flash cm11 zip,gapps reboot...thats all
using cm11 on XMD [c2004] with working network..
Its unnecessary. /system gets wiped when installing CM11. So no use of installing it over 4.3 stock. You just need to boot into 4.3 baseband and then simply, you have the needed baseband for the CM11 builds.
