I'm on Miui 1.10.07 and I want to update to 1.10.28
I was wondering what the easiest way to do this is.
I created a backup on the backup app on MIUI.
Do I have to wipe data or can I just wipe cache/dalvik?
Thanks

You shouldn't need to wipe /data upgrading to a newer version of MIUI. However, if you run into issues, it's worth trying a full wipe.
yup, just wipe cache & dalvik and flash away.
Cool Thanks
I'd recommend you download 10.28.1 Miui, there is an updated version on the Miui forums that fixes the torch and camera flash issue.
Wifi also didn't work in Andmers 10.28 version for me, but I didn't run kernel cleaner script or do a data wipe before flashing. Others claim wifi worked.
MMS worked in both versions. Speaker phone doesn't work right on either version for me, works until you try and change the volume then quits.

I wanted to flash my wt19i with the AOSP ROM. Is wiping the user data necessary before flashing it? What will happen if i dont wipe the user data?
Yes. It is highly recommended, especially if coming from stock ROM.
Else there will be compability problems with certain files that can lead to force closes and/or freezing/restarting.
But u can still flash ROMs without Wiping user data right
Sure, but the risk of having problems with new rom is significantly higher.
Anyone know why always encounter error bad zip then installation aborted while installing exMIUI Using stock rom 4.0.4 rooted? Is it any relation with wiping data? Cache & dalvik ?

your downloaded file is corrupted,just re download an make sure ur download is complited

Clearing user data / factory reset is always a good idea when changing ROMs. Minimizes issues especially if the ROM you're flashing has an app you already have. Not clearing has been known to cause FCs in such cases and un+reinstalling doesn't help at times.
If you're concerned about apps already installed and don't wanna lose the settings or just simply don't want to reinstall them, backup using TB. Restore after flashing is done.

Based on my experience, yes, there are too many issues that can occur trying to preserve the data. Maybe an expert could do it, but even then, probably not worth the effort.

Not always necessary
It is not always necessary but it is recommended
For example I was coming from ex miui 4 and wanted real ics , so I just installed the zip over miui and it was running fine. Just wifi error but you can fix that easily
When working with ROMs, it would appear that, to be thorough, the system partition needs to be wiped as well.
What's the best way to do this, and are there any risks I need to be aware of?
For what it's worth, I'm using Romracer's recovery.

DOWNLOAD THIS! This is deleting everything! I use that all the time before I flash roms. I highly recommend bro.
--connect your phone to your pc in FASTBOOT mode. Run the .bat script in the file. You should press enter I guess, It will do the rest.
Much appreciated, thanks!
Incidentally, does this do anything problematical when working with Cyanogen? It doesn't wipe something Cyanogen expects to be there, does it?
It makes your phone ready for flashing rom. I was having some problems when i switch the roms in my phone, after this script it is like a new born phone don't worry.
Hit thanks if i helped

Doesn't wipe everything. This leaves webtop and preinstall intact..............Use either of the following for full or selective wipe:

<edit> As an added note, I used to manually wipe fully from fastboot with commands. I now always use the tool in my second link and select options 1, 3, 6, 7, and 8 before rebooting with option 13. This will wipe everything except your sdcard and radio.
I have the Aug 27th build of AOKP Jelly Bean from this thread installed on my Fascinate. I know that nightlies come out with new versions quite often, but I don't understand how I'm supposed to update my ROMs that quickly. I wouldn't want to re-download all my applications and reconfigure my homescreens every couple of nights - do you not wipe data between nightlies and just wipe cache and dalvik?
You can do a "dirty" flash (wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, do NOT wipe data, and for good measure, run fix permissions) of the new nightly on top of the existing. This will keep all your apps and settings. Just note: if problems develop, you may need to do a full wipe and install. YMMV. I've had no issues from Build 1 through 9/3/12.

Thanks! Is running fix permissions something I do while in recovery mode or after I've booted up the new nightly?

He told me right after flashing. So I'm assuming before booting. Soon as the MMS is fixed I'm going the nightly route as well.

i fixed permissions after installing the rom, but before booting.
one thing to note - you may have to flash the google apps package as well. i noticed all my contacts were gone which kind of bugged me out. but then i realized it was because my gmail and other google apps were gone. flashed the gapps package and things came back, though i had to set the accounts back up. bit of a pain.
can anyone say if this will happen with each nightly install?
When we reboot into cwm recovery to install our selected roms, do i need to wipe the data and cache AFTER or BEFORE i install the roms / gapps that i want to? Need help here !
- One more, those who are experience like me when i installed (cm10 port by Psyke) noticed that music app does scan SD card, but then no songs are shown when the app launches, thus leaving it to be blank / left only symbols at on top of the screen . Is really music doesnt work yet for the beta release? thanks for any response

If it's the next version of the current Rom you have, then wiping /data and /cache partitions is not nessesary. If it is an entirely different Rom then you should do a wipe as the phone won't boot properly.
As for your second query, a temporary solution is to use a different media played. I had the same problem with the initial cm10 builds for the galaxy s3.

Data cache partition
Erm ok. But wiping cache partition doesnt really wiping my items in SD card right ? and u said if other roms need to wipe the datas and caches but i need to do it BEFORE or AFTER i install the rom? i mean before we install i need to press the wipe data n cache OR after i install wipe data n cache?

Wiping /data and /cache doesn't wipe your sdcard content. It only wipes your installed apps and its data.
Doing a wipe before and after doesn't matter. But generally we do it after flashing a ROM.

You can restore the backup with out data wiping since cwm recovery wipes /data and /cache before restoring a backup.

I am getting a fc in setup wizard after installing the Infamous ROM 4.3 "pac_p4_4.3-Infamous_20131017.zip".
Followed below steps:
1. using CWM 6.0.2.7, wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. wipe delvik cache
4. Flashed Infamous ROM
5. Flashed gaps "gapps-jb-20130813-signed"
6. Reboot
after getting the fc on setup wizard i tried, 1) wiping cache and rebooting 2) reflashing the infamous rom on top again.
both solutions did not work.
I am coming from Ganbarou 4.3 ROM and before that i had Toldo's v8 ICS rom. Ganbarou ROM was working well.
Just wanted to test different JB 4.3 roms.
can someone help me out?
thanks.
Have you tried reflashing gapps?

First you need to update your recovery to 6.0.3.6. You can get it from Droidbasement.
Secondly, before flashing you need to format system under Mounts and Storages in addition to the wipes you mentioned above.
After installation wipe cache and dalvik cache again and then reboot.
The gapps is okay as it is same as mine, and I never had any issues.
Cheers.

Great advice...
I also always suggest a system format...
I just wanted to add that with the older recovery...it doesn't like 4.3 gapps. You can boot after ROM flash. Then go back to recovery and flash gapps...wipe cache and dalvik before. And that will work also and I've seen gapps cause some weird issues with this device as well as my e4gt..
Or just use twrp...I've had zero issues with flashing anything since switching...
Thanks for the advice. (John and Gil81)
I followed the steps as advised i.e.
1. under Mount and Storage, format system
2. format cache
3. format data
4. flash rom, this time i flashed CM10.2/SGT7 rom.
5. reboot
everything was working smooth, so moved on to
6. flashing gaps
7. reboot and now
8. Enjoying. (restoring apps)
great work from all the developers of 4.3 roms for our device.
have not upgraded the CWM recovery yet, but please advise if it is absolutely necessary to do that. May be i would do it with any future upgrades.
also to get better understanding of the recovery, what is the difference between format data and format sdcard option?
thanks.

Formatting sdcard will wipe everything in your device including the media partition where your user generated data like pictures, videos, downloads etc and also all the files copied to the device from PC. So be careful NOT to format the sdcard.
Formatting data, on the other hand will remove your installed gapps and the associated data. This is necessary when migrating from an older ROM to a newer one that will need you to install different version of gapps that is suitable for the newer ROM. Even when crossing from one ROM to another based on the same version of android, it becomes necessary to format data to get a clean install so the data from the different ROMs do not conflict.
The recovery version, as I understand it, is necessary for the changes to the filing system of 4.3 which is different from 4.2.2. In addition it is also designed to support the multiuser feature of 4.3. I am a single user so I can't attest to how it helps there.
Cheers.
