This may be a somewhat noobish question, but...
Can I update directly to WB TW V4 from 3.6.0 without full wipe data??
I ask based on Wolf's post, since it says does not wipe data.
thanks in advance
Hi,
as far as I know it should be possible. I did it from 3.9 and it worked perfectly and all data still there.

If Wolf said it doesn't wipe data, why are you asking?
But to answer your question again, it does not wipe data and yes you can flash v4 right over v3.6....but like always, make a back up of your apps/data/contacts just in case.

Hi, I need some help here.
I come from LeoMar Revolution 2.6 and I want to migrate to CheckROM Revolution.
My question is, can I do that without full wipe all of my data ?
I figure since LeoMar is one of the maker, I don't have to full wipe it.
Do you really have to full wipe it or can I do that by just flashing it with CheckROM Revolution ?
Thx for answering.

Yeah, I strongly recommend you to full wipe! Just use titanium backup, shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, what you CAN do is backup your system settings with the kitchen app, you should ask in that thread though.

Okay then.
Well, if it doesn't have to be full wiped it's easier right ? LOL.
I can't post in the thread cause I (sadly) just have two post including this and the minimum post is ten if I want to post there.
So, I asked here.
Thank you very much for answering.
Just upgraded from 9.0. Question is, will all upgrades require a full wipe? Or is there a way to upgrade like the other roms, where u just flash zip.

Most minor updates don't require a full wipe. Normally the only ones that do require it are when the ROM is switching bases. For example moving from LP3 to LP7 or something similar.

First BACKUP!
Next try flashing 9.1 without a wipe, it should work fine but if it doesn't then a full wipe is required and if you don't want to wipe just restore your backup.

In this case he said specifically that we need to full wipe from 9 to 9.1

hey guys,
so after reading the CM9 install guide, looks like I need to flash the stock ICS first. I'm currently using MIUI 2.1.7 which is still gingerbread.
I went to the stock ICS firmwares:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
But didn't see any North American or Canada firmwares, does it matter if I get the Argentina one, or can anyone direct me to a North American version.
Another question is, after I flash the stock ICS, will I still have my root and CWM?
Thanks,
eclipse

Incorrect, just flash cm9.
I can go from MIUI gingerbread, straight to the latest CM9?
So just follow the flashing instructions I guess, and skip all the other nonsense?
If you're flashing through CWM there is a long and complex process to flashing such a complicated ROM:
Step 1. Factory reset/ wipe cache/ wipe dalvik cache
Step 2. Flash CM9
EDIT: Remember to keep breathing whilst you do it, sometimes I need to focus so intently on the complex process I forget.
One more question, if I wanted to update CM9 via Rom Manager, to a newer nightly, would any data/apps/contacts be lost or reset, or is it just an update?
Nightlies are just an update, no need for a wipe.

Don't use rom manager, I've been hearing bad things about it. Just use cwm recovery. And no data would be lost, just don't data wipe / factory reset in cwm recovery

thanks a lot guys!
Hi all. I have been following this board for the past couple of weeks but this is the first time to post. I am kind of a newbie to all of this but am enjoying it so far.
My question is I have flashed the Jelly Bean rom by Maple that was the July 29th version. I wanted to reflash with the updated rom, so the camera will work, but was not sure if I have to clear everything again before flashing the new rom?
If you all could advise me I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Make a nandroid backup first. Wiping data / factory reset is usually recommended, but for updates you can usually get away with a wipe cache and dalvick cache. But if you're having freezes / force closes you should do a full wipe

Im currently using the pacman ROM 22.2.0, not sure whether its official or not but I think I took it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253673&highlight=pac+man
and now I saw a new and official one and Ive decided to change my current ROM to this one, which is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400382&highlight=pac+man
Right now, Im confused whether I should update my ROM as usual (don't have to wipe my data) or should I install it as a new different ROM (requires wiping of data) since the previous one isn't official or something. "not so sure about it"
:S Help me please, sorry for my bad English..
Thanks in advance.

SInce you're trying to update from JB 4.2.2 to 4.3, its better to do a full wipe before flashing the update. You can minimize any bugs or issues that way! :good:
