Does it make any difference to select "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" in Clockworkmod Recovery before selecting "Install zip from sd card" or afterwards? I'd like to install CM 10 along with the GApps. In several tutorials I have found both answers.
Yes it do... First wipe then install...
Happy new year

Thanks a lot!
Then I can follow the Cyanogenmod-Wiki.
Happy new year, too.

Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

Thanks for your help guys, viperROM is installed and running.
Hi,
I'm trying to install Galaxy Task ROM. It says:
"1) Put Galaxy Task ROM on your Tablet
2) Backup all the apps you want to keep with Titanium Backup
3) Make a Nandroid Backup in CWM
4) Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache (In Advanced), & Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Choose install zip"
Having a Galaxy Tab you all know that there's no SD card slot. So how does one install from a ZIP after data has been wiped? Because surely the wipe before installing from ZIP takes the ZIP file off the tab? It's not a question just for Galaxy Task, I know it's a bit noobish, I must be doing something wrong.
Wiping data does not delete anything from the internal "sdcard" storage.
I hope you have CWM and don't plan to install this with stock, It sounds as if you are trying to install this with stock, or else you would have known that there are 2 options in CWM "Wipe data factory reset" and "Wipe data factory reset + internal" the internal speaks for itself

What do you mean by "Stock"?
The tablet comes with a stock recovery, a very blandish black and neon blue with only 2 options, install zip or factory reset. You'd know the difference

Install instructions are correct. That are the steps you normally should do.
Baseband I dont know but I personally wouldn't care about 72 or 77. Both should work with cm9.

When Installing a New Rom, Do I have to perform "Wipe data/Factory Reset"?
Or Can I just Click the "Clean to Install New Rom"?

Wipe data/factory reset is classic full wipe (wipe data, cache&dalvick)
Clean to Instal new ROM include full wipe + wipe system and I think internalSD
And you can choose
As above but does not wipe internal SD card..
Also be careful with wipe to install a new rom this wipes your system so make sure you have a rom ready to flash on your sd card

And also as you said. Make sure to have a ROM. Otherwise the phone wil bee bootloaped.
Thanks

Please let me know which one you think is the best set of instructions for most people.

EXTRA NOTES/TIPS found online:
Depending on your situation (see below), you may also need to wipe your data and/or cache. So when should you wipe your data and cache? Here are a few general guidelines:
-If you're flashing a ROM different than the one you're currently running, you should wipe data and cache. Essentially, this performs a factory reset on your phone, and you will lose all your data.
-If you're flashing a new version of a ROM you're already running, we recommend wiping your data and cache—but you should be able to get away with just wiping the cache, meaning you get to keep all your apps and settings.
