I have had the HTC Evo since launch day and have flashed it probably 50 times. I am not really a "Noob" when it comes to flashing! My question is on the G-tab, is there anything special that I need to do to flash between these 2 roms. Is it as simple as wiping all data and cache, then flashing the new rom, Gapps, etc...? I have been searching for a while and have not come up with a clear answer to this question.
Thank you in advance for any replies!

That's what I did and it worked without issue.
I copied the last stable CM7.0.3 and the latest GAPPS on to the root of the gTab, rebooted into Clockwork recovery and then wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, then in advanced wiped dalvik cache (just in case) then flashed the CM7.0.3 then flashed the GAPPS then rebooted.
Done.
Now I have Netflix which is the ONLY reason I jumped ship from VEGAn.
Thank you!! I really appreciate you responding!

One more thing if you didn't already know, only use the .08 version (bekit) of ClockworkMod Recovery. Using any other version of ClockworkMod with the gTab will brick/kill your tablet.

Full wipe would be what you're doing.
Factory data reset/cache/dalvik
After you flash the ROM let the phone sit for 5 minutes and before doing anything else...reboot the phone.
Let it settle again. Report back with results.
Hope this helps.
downloading again now will try and let you know .thanks for the info
do you use beastmod ? and how had it been running for you?

I'm not using any ROMs yet. My Amaze is still sitting in its box.
I'm just going off my experience with flashing ROMs on the MT4G.
New one every few days. Just some general tips and tricks I learned from flashing ROMs.
It may or may not help with your situation. I know often it did for me.
If it's a technical issue perhaps posting in the BeastMOD thread would better assist you.

Yea, always let a new flash sit for 5-10 minutes. When you change framework, everything needs time to 'settle'.
You also might want to try the Revolution HD Super Wipe for the Amaze, you can find the link in Mikes ROM post. It's simple and I've used it bouncing between the two, I prefer BeastMod and have had no problems, it's much faster than stock and has been very stable. Like the previous post said, it needs some time to settle in and I usually throw in a reboot or 2 and you're good to go.

Glad it did.
So this is my first root and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. I then ran the Infected_wipe. But every time I flash Synergy 2.3.4 it works to an extent but wifi and hotspot give me errors.
Actually I did run viperrom but only recieved 1x speeds plus i wasn't hooked.
I read this may be a kernel issue and the kernel doesn't say ziggy when I checked. Sorry I couldn't find the answer out there.
Btw I'm running an s-on, h-boot 1.5, root on 2.3.4, and 2.18.651.5
I'm having the same issue....
Bah Humbug.
So it seems were all doomed. Who needs wifi really... or hotspot.... Save me
Ok guys I just flashed this kernel using flash image gui. And it made my hotspot work awwwwwww yeah. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255465
Trying it now via fastboot cwm recovery I'll let you know if it works
Nope..... i'm screwed

Which kernel did u use? I used the the first one not sure if that matters.
I used the first one. I'm going to try TWRP and see if it makes a diff. over CWM
So twrp made the difference over CWM. I cleared the Dalvik Cache and Cache, did a factory reset and lo and behold the ROM worked with the built in ziggy kernel

try clear caches from seting applications
You must wipe cache, data, system and dalvik cache then install the rom. Then again wipe everything and flash the rom one more time. This has been discussed before on its topic

Modem and radio will not be changed, so you don't need to reflash them.
Since you have to wipe before flashing CM10:
·Contacts should be synced with Google. Just in case, use Go Backup (or another one, but Go Backupis great and free) to backup.
·Pictures/videos will be in the internal/external SD card so they won't be deleted (don't wipe internal/external sd card...).
·SMS/MMS will be lost too. Use Go Backup to backup.
·Apps: Use Go Backup to backup.

Hey,
You can theoretically just flash CM10 over CM9 and keep all your data... I suggest doing a full backup of CM9 first though. As for your modem/Radio, no need to reflash... You can keep the one you'Re running as long as it suits your needs.

In a i9100, not so much (no hwcomposer so not Project Butter), athough it works great (I use CM10 since first day in i9100).
i9100G has HWcomposer working so everything is smooth and has official nightlies, so I'd say definitely yes. Anyway, just try. If you don't like... flash CM9 back!
Best luck

You said me "Since you have to wipe before flashing cm10"
But which wipe must i do ? data factory, cache partition,...
And some people say that after flashing cm10, must do a wipe to... really necessary ? If yes, which wipe ?
Sorry, i don't understand all these notion of wipe... i read doc about it but...
If somebody could answer me quickly, because i'm downloading cm10 and i would try it... I'm little exciting...
Cordially.

The firsts versions of CM10 required wipe data (factory reset) before and after flashing.
Before flashing, wipe data (factory reset) and cache (I think factory reset also wipes cache), and if you wish, advanced->Wipe dalvik cache.
Later versions don't require wipe after anymore (I don't wipe after flashing anymore), but you lose nothing wiping after flashing if you want to be sure...

Thanks for your quick answer...
Then if i choose "cm-10-20120824-NIGHTLY-i9100g.zip", i must do a "wipe data/factory reset" and a "wipe cache partition", after i install my cm10.zip, and after, if i want, i can do again the same thing "wipe data/factory reset" and a "wipe cache partition".
And normaly, i won't lost data in my sdcard and external sd ?

Just wipe data/factory reset.
And no, you won't lose data in sd memory.

By the way, many of your questions already have thousands of replies over the internet and you "should" read and try before asking "simple" things. But anyway...
My 2nd topic in about 20 mins!
I've just flashed Siyah Kernal but made a mistake and flashed an older version accidently (I flashed 1.3 instead of 1.7)
Now my phone doesn't boot, it gets to the loading screen where it displays model etc and then stops. I can boot into recovery, I was thinking I can just flash the other kernal but I don't have it on my storage.
I wiped cache then davlik cache and then installed the old version and rebooted and now I'm stuck
I'm thinking just wipe data and reflash ROM but I've never messed around with kernals before so I don't know if it's any different
Help is GREATLY appreciated!
If you have an external SD, transfer the updated 1.7rc1 syiah to that, and flash it from recovery.
Should solve the problem.
If it doesnt, wiping and reflashing the rom, then the corect kernel should work as well.

I would start with that.. if any problems occur, then go to wiping.
I would wipe delvic and cache
Update Syiah myself a few times without a wipe. Although I am sure some would recommend a wipe.
I've just put my external SD into its adapter so that my laptop can read it and I get write protection errors.
Can I just wipe data/factory reset and reflash the ROM to gain access to my phone again and then flash the kernal?

first off is the switch on ur adapter set to lock?
Yes if you factory reset and wipe, then install rom, then you can flash the kernel and enjoy all the benefits!:victory:
aaaaand I'm back!
I noticed the little slidy thing on the adaptger and put it the other way and it worked, having that "lock" is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
I'm all sorted now, I would be useless if it wasn't for the people on this forum
Thank you all so much for the help, whenever stuff like this happens I overact and instantly assume my device is bricked
