Hi All,
I have searched both here and on Google for an answer to this, but cant find anything clear.
I have flashed CM9.1 stable and got it set up just right, absolutely love this ROM so far!
As time goes on I am getting very tempted to give the CM10 nightly a go.
As i am going CM -> CM is it possible to flash CM10 as an update rather then wipe all my apps and settings and start over? or do I need to flash google apps, restore everything with titanium and spend an hour in settings again after installing CM10?
Thanks for your help
Normally if you are coming from the same rom then you dont need to do a full wipe.
A full wipe is a must if your going from 1 rom to a different rom.
I would suggest doing a backup just incase but i think it safe to say that you WILL NOT need do a full wipe as you are only updating the same rom.
It is always recommended to do a full wipe
- wipe/data factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
Install CM 10 nightly and Gapps and reboot.
Set back your apps etc. via titanium backup

Since your going from ICS to JB, Full wipe is absolutely required. Different android versions after all.

Hi - first time trying to root. I successfully rooted, installed Entropy's Kernel, and I thought successfully installed TurkbeyRom (I don't think this is a question specific to this rom, so I"m posting here...).
After booting back up, I get this message: " The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly". This takes out my wireless signal, and keeps popping up with the error even when clear that screen out.
I realized that I didn't do any sort of data wipe before installing this rom...could that be the issue? I was under the impression that when installing them, it asked if you would like to wipe data, and it didn't.
My question is - if I wipe the data now, how much will I lose? Obviously I don't care about apps/contacts/etc..I'm wondering how far it'll set me back in the rooting process. Meaning if I wipe, will it completely wipe out my kernel...etc.
Thanks!
Boot into cwm and wipe data factory reset...then see if it fixes the issue. It wont go backwards in the root process

Please read before posting. Check the FAQ question [21].
- ROM install doesn't ask you to wipe, you have to do it yourself. (FAQ [21] has steps how to do it in CWM. For that, it is assumed that you followed this guide all the way through.
- any type of wipe will NOT remove your kernel. Wiping will remove stuff like your apps/contacts/etc
Wipe data/factory reset will remove any user installed applications and personal settings that have been set since the flash. It will not make any changes to the kernel or system partition, so the rom will be just like if you wiped first and then flashed the rom. That should solve any issues, but if there are still problems after the wipe, then try flashing the rom again.
Most roms here don't do an automatic wipe, afaik. You must do the wipe first, usually from ClockworkMod Recovery. It is always recommended to wipe when changing from one rom to another, from stock to any rom, etc. You can usually get by without a wipe when doing a minor upgrade of the same rom, assuming there is not change of base within the rom.
Thanks guys. It works perfectly now after wiping.
Sorry about not seeing that in the FAQs. I did look there, but I must have had a different "question" in mind than "[21] Install Custom ROM from CWM" and glanced past that one.
Hi Guys,
Yesterday i installed Paranoid Android on my phone ( full wipe data and cahe ) and it started to reboot when making calls.
So i decided to install CM9 RC1 and got the same problem.
I reverted back to stock and now my phone is fine.
Someone has a clue of what's happening ?
I tried different kernels but got the same problem.
Your help is appriciated.
Greetings,
PTiT
Have you formatted /system and fixed permissions?

If you are doing it through CWM
Try installing after wiping Dalvik cache available in advance.

hi.
Had same kind of issue. Random reboot/shutdown.
I installed 1.6 last night. With full wipe of everything I could find in my kernel to wipe.
then, install paranoid.
then install G-apps.
then WIPE cache again.
then fix permission.
as recommended in the official thread by the dev.
It solved my issue.
good luck.
Same problem here.
Any stock rom (including ICS) works well.
I tried installing paranoidandroid 1.6.
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Install gapps and camerafix.
wipe cache.
Set phone dpi to 184
reboot
And basically, everytime i try to make a phone call, it looks like that the phone screen (the one that displays the contact picture and the close-call red button) is crashing.
I can hear 10 seconds of phone ringing/conversation and then the system reboots, showing me the boot animation.
The only way to fix this, so far, is by installing a stock rom
..probably I am missing something, but I cannot get it working.
I resolved mine by reverting to a GB stock rom and flashing the lastest nightly from there.

After flashing vanilla root box for the i9300 and the gapps I get this before I anything on the phone. "unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped". comes up. It give me to option to report or ok.what should I do?
hey man,
you should just go to Manage Applications and and clear the data+cache contacts and contact storage.
be sure that you have backup for your contacts or make sure their stored at your gmail.
GL !
after flashing rom and gapss .. you must wipe data/factory reset and then reboot.
Hi man,
It's not true...even at the official thread of the vanilla
CheerS
You only need to wipe when switching Rom or upgrade to another Android version
You should however wipe whenever you get unexplainable problems
You have to clear cache and dalvick after flashing gapps
yes, but before flashing another rom, not after

Nope, check the installation instructions for Vanilla Rootbox, it says to clear cache/dalvick after flashing gapps. The same goes for any other ROM.
i was answering for the who said you need to wipe after flashing ROM not gapps.
and for the gapps enough to wipe only the dalvik and you don't need to factory reset the device. The same goes for any other ROM.

Some ROMs do recommend doing a full wipe before installing the ROM and after flashing gapps. Cyanogenmod recommends it for those who are flashing it for the first time

I use latest rom 3.7.1!
Sorry post makes no sense .
jje
better?
my english is not so good... sorry :/
Anyone else have problems flashing to a 4.3 ROM? (I know some people do because I've searched.)
No matter what ROM it is, if it is 4.3 it will always fail to reboot a second time after it has been flashed.
Currently on CleanROM ACE 4.9 (4.1.2) with TWRP 2.6.0.1
I've tried to go to CM10.2 and it would reboot initially but then hang on the Note II logo if I tried to reboot.
I've tried to go to Paranoid Android.. same thing.
I've tried to go to PAC-man.. same thing.
I've tried flashing from the stock 4.1.2 ROM and the same thing happens.
I've followed every instruction I could find including this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423057
I do a factory reset, format data, flash ROM, wipe caches, flash gapps, wipe caches, reboot. It will boot fine from TWRP and load everything normally. Then, if I reboot or power off the device, it will hang on the Note II screen and I have to nandroid back to my previous ROM.
Any insight as to why this is happening? I haven't been able to find anything besides some random instructions for wiping/flashing (which I've linked). These ROMs look great and I'd really like to move to 4.3, but I cannot figure out what the problem is.

First time installing CyanogenMod 10.2 to your Galaxy Note 2 I605, or coming from another ROM:
- Read known issues ans FAQs
- Flash the latest official ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM10.2 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM10.2 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
read the OP for CM 10.2 next time....
First - clockworkmod not twrp for 4.3 usually fixes things
Second - do a factory reset AFTER installing
Third - Dont restore apps with TiBu going to 4.3
Next time be truthful when you say you read and searched.
Hi all,
So I flashed my rom from RRemix ROM over to Cyanogenmod 11, everything seems to work fine with the exception of texting... I keep getting the message "Messanger has stopped", this happens on both the default app as well as Handcent.
I tried clearing my cache and wiping the app data... I also tried clearing cache and divik cache in CWM v6.0.4.7. Now, I was going to try to reflash gapps but of course there is some kinda bug with CWM v6.0.4.7 where it won't let me flash gapps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900), and there is no upgrade to CWM for the S3 i747 ATT... I guess I could downgrade? Or should I switch to another recovery app?
Any other ideas? I wanted to ask before I just wipe the phone and start from scratch.
Thanks guys! If I missed any important information let me know!
You know what... doing a I guess it's called a "dirty flash" wasn't the best idea.... I assume that is what the Cyanogenmod autoinstaller does?
Went back to my old ROM and will try a clean install later on.
