Hey...flashing noobie here. So I just flashed CM10.1 Nightly 20130213 i9300 yesterday. I've been using goomanager so far, I scanned for updates and I've downloaded it. It's CM10.1 Nightly 20130216. My question is...do I just flash away or do I need to make a wipe?

Just flash, if it's an update to the same rom (CM10.1 to CM10.1) you don't need to wipe. The exception is when the update changes the Android version, then you may need to wipe.
next time use Q&A section and please search before posting

AW: How to update a new ROM?
U have the best results by flashing new roms or updates, when u wipe cache/dalvik cache before and after flashing!

Only when you are flashing a different rom, if it's the same rom you only need to wipe if it's a different Android version or you have problems. That is the golden rule.

Punctuation please...don't understand this sentence!
Had the same query...so when i flash a different build of ROM..say move from supernexus 2.0 build 3 to 4..do i need to wipe the phone? is there any way i can save all my settings so that i don't have to go through the entire process of setting every thing up again?
You do not have to wipe its your choice .
Wipe is to avoid any potential conflicts.

You don't need to wipe before flashing a newer version of a rom I am general unless the dev says a wipe is needed. So no wipe for you

Hi sorry in advance if this kind of question comes up alot but imk looking to install a new rom onto my s3 how easy is it to do it? i already have a rom installed (darkys) is it a simple matter of finding a tutorial and just over wiping the curent rom with the new one? or do i have to go back to facotry settings and start from fresh?
Generally follow instructions on your chosen Rom thread

Most are just wipe cache and flash over existing rom .
But easy peasy problem solver is to have a current Nandroid backup to restore if needed .

If a want to upgrade to CM 10 or CM9, from my stock rom, do I really need to do a wipe data, wipe factory reset? & what would happen if I do not? Is there any chance that something bad happen to it? Thank you guys Greetings.

Yes, if coming from a GB based rom you should wipe date/factory reset.
Is there any reason why you cant? All you need to do is backup apps/app data with Titanium Backup and then restore once you have fresh rom.

1. Yeah full wipe is recommended if you are downgrading or upgrading to another Android version.
2. If you don't do full wipe there are chances that your CM9 will not bee stable, freezes and lockups here and there

What about an ICS stock rom? that's the one I'm using right now . If I install the CM rom, and if I want to downgrade to the stock rom again, could I do that? Thank you for answering.

If you are moving from stock to Aosp Roms and vice versa, you have to do full wipe

Yes, you would just flash the stock ROM using Odin, and that would "unroot" your handset in the process.
If you try to switch from stock to a custom ROM, or between different custom ROMs without wiping your data, you can soft or hard-brick your handset. It's not worth the risk.

Always fullwipe when you're flashing to a new rom. or when the rom specifies it's a full wipe. or when you jump from a different major version like ICS to JB
If in doubt do a full wipe, stock to custom means wipe ICS to JB wipe 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 wipe if you have problems. Same android version don't wipe.

Get stock firmware from sammobile.com
There you need an account and you can get the stock firmware from your country.
You need Odin 3.07
Put the file you need from sammobile in the PDA section.

You should ask these question on the thread of the Rom, but here you go anyway.
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Format System, Mount System, Flash Rom, Go through Aroma Installation, (It will show v6 but don't worry its v7), Reboot.
