Just to make sure everything is fine, do I need to wipe data/catch when upgrade from Hybrom V11 to V12? Thks
No. But make titanium backup just for sure
i always do wipe data and chace before flash a new rom,back up your data first.

i'm looking for well explained tutorial on doing a fullwipe before flashing new rom.
thanks...
What phone and firmware do you have and what rom do you want to flash to it ?
before you flash it, make sure you do a backup of course in case anything goes wrong.
i believe you just need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
Depending on your phone, there are many ways to do a full wipe. You can do it manually in recovery, you could flash Calkulin's format all, or you could flash Virus Rom's superwipe (which is basically calkulin's format all flashed 3 times)

Try reinstalling rom without full wipe
Follow these steps
1.Reinstall GingerDX (without full-wipe)
2.Wipe Cache partition
3.wipe Dalvik-Cache
4.(optional) wipe battery-stats
5.Reboot
Note: first boot will take longer
if the problem persist do
1.Backup all your apps and data using (MyBackup/Titanium Backup)
2.Open Flashtool
3.flash your kernel (linuxdx or stock)
4.Reinstall GingerDX
5.Full Wipe
6.Reboot

Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,

I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.

- wipe cache
- go to mount & storage>format system
- go to advance-wipe dalvik cache

If you are on an ics kernel, no need to flash a kernel again. If you want to flash CM, then you have to follow all the instructions. While switching between roms, wipe everything except the /data partition. Then install your new custom rom. There is no guarantee that the rom will boot. It is recommended to wipe everything but no harm in trying. It is much safer to backup contacts by going to contacts and export to sd card. For messages you can use Sms backup and restore on market. Use titanium backup for apps. Done!

I would not recommend to format /system. Otherwise you may get a getprop error. The updater-script should wipe /system automatically
Only wipe it if it's recommend in the thread of the rom :good:
follow this procedure bro...
1.Backup
So you dont want to lose data...then first backup your contacts,export it to memory card,
then backup messages using sms backup and restore,u can find that on the play store...
dont forget to make a nandroid backup..
2.Gather info about current device status and the rom u want to flash
then check whether the rom you want to flash requires a different kernel other than the one on your device right now...
if the android versions differ,definitely kernel has to be changed otherwise you can get stuck in a bootloop...
visit the rom thread,check whether there are some bugs associated with your device,download the fixes required if any...
here you might find links to the supported kernels,instructions on installing the rom i.e wipe cache,data,dalvik cache,system etc etc...
download the rom,copy it to your sdcard along with the fixes if any...
3.Start flashing
First flash the kernel...then enter recovery
wipe the partitions that were mentioned on the thread...
then select your rom and flash it..,then enter recovery again if u want to flash the fixes...
4.Restoring..
install titanium backup first,restore all your apps from the nandroid backup,then you can restore the contacts and messages...
you are done
i know its a long procedure,u can get really frustrated until you hit on a stable rom and kernel...but i dont think there is any shortcut to this..
Sometimes the updater-script in your new rom may have been set to delete data,system,cache,dalvik cache. So if u don't want them to delete u have to edit the updater-script.
