Hello
I am using Revenge OS as of now and I would like to change to Havoc OS. Do I need to first flash MIUI and then Havoc OS or can I directly flash Havoc OS?
Also, in general, everytime I flash a new ROM do I need to clear system, data, vendor, cache, dalvik/ART cache? Please help me, I am new to these things.
A proper guidance might lead me not to damage my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Boot into TRWP
1. Download the ROM and GApps and save it to SD-Card
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik, Cache.
3. Flash the ROM and GApps.
4. Reboot and Enjoy.

It wouldn't. And you also have to be careful about ARB.

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.

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 will try that tomorrow.. I hope it erases all my bugs..
One noob question... Full Wipe is Factory Reset?
Edit: Formated Everything except internal storage before install Rom, then.. something strange happened.. my backgroud menu was bugged.. like seeing another menu behind settings menu.. even in twrp i saw the original USB menu of stock..
Not just factory reset. A full wife is made in cwm recovery and it has 3 stages : factory wipe/data,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache, format /system.

A full wipe doesn't mean format /system. If you format system after flashing a rom then there is no rom exists in your phone anymore. Performing a factory reset also clean cache partition too.
if you would've payed attention, he mentioned he made the wipes BEFORE flashing a custom rom. so, yes, it's recommended to perform a /system format.
Hi,
When i tried flashing a custom rom and a custom kernel it just gives me black screen after starting up again maybe you guys have got the same problem before and what did you do to solve this issue? I tried these custom rom/custom kernel combinations :
FreedomOS-op3-nevax-1.7-CE-signed / blu_spark_r114-OOS-6.0.1 thulium
FreedomOS-op3-nevax-1.7-CE-signed / ElementalX-OP3-0.23
ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.2-20160804-oneplus3 / blu_spark_r114-OOS-6.0.1_thulium_e476ded
ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.2-20160804-oneplus3 / ElementalX-OP3-0.23
My TWRP version is 3.2.1 official
These are one of the many methods i tried:
Method 1
1. Wipe Cache, Data, Internal storage, Dalvik/art cache and system.
2. Flash Custom Rom.
3. Wipe cache, Dalvik/art cache.
4. Flash Custom Kernel.
5. Reboot.
Method 2
1. Wipe Cache, Data, Internal storage, Dalvik/art cache and system.
2. Flash Custom Rom.
3. Flash Custom Kernel.
4. Wipe cache, Dalvik/art cache.
Method 3
1. Wipe Cache, Data, Internal storage, Dalvik/art cache and system.
2. Flash Custom Rom.
3. Flash Custom Kernel.
These are some of the combinations i tried and even some of the methods i tried are nonsens but i am just trying to get it to work. If you need any more information just tell me . Help is very much appreciated .
3.5.2 base dont work with custom kernel yet. The twrp Version is a non known at my End. I think you better read this forum. From A to Z. Since all your awnsers can be found easy.

3.5.2 base? Can you please explain it a little bit more detailed thank you and i already read alot and can't find it thats why i made a thread.
Please read the freedom os topic. It address well why you cannot Flash a custom kernel. It is simply that kernel sources for Version 1.7 (aka 3.5.2 base) are not releases.

As suggested earlier try reading some ROM threads, going around flashing ROMs and kernels with no purpose is going to get you a soft brick very quickly.
My suggestion decide what you need out of a ROM, that is missing from stock, read a few rom threads to identify one that fills your needs. Then when you've got a ROM in mind go back and read the thread THOROUGHLY before flashing, had you done this with FreedomOS you wouldn't be here now.
How do i install xiaomi.eu when coming from an AOSP custom rom?
I was using Paranoid Android Quartz 4 (AOSP) for a good while now but it i want to go to xiaomi.eu because of the better battery management and other features.
I wanna know what's the right procedure to flash the rom. I am going to include the rom and custom kernel plus magisk on top.
Im confused as to which to wipe and/or format. Like which to do first and such before flashing the rom, kernel and magisk.
I'm using OrangeFox recovery because TWRP doesnt work on mine. Phone is ginkgo.
Thanks for the response
Wipe dalvik, cache, system, vendor, data. Flash rom, magisk. Reboot. If you face bootloop (most probably) then format data partition. You'll be okay.

Should i format data partition before flashing rom or should i do it after i face bootloop?
Thanks for replying
Format after flashing ROM. Formatting before flashing will wipe out internal storage.
