Cm10.2 updating question - HTC Droid DNA

Is it safe to update the official cm 10.2 nightlights through cm updater? Just wondering because I do not want to do a full wipe. I also don't want to test and then have it mess up and do a full wipe because of it lol.

All CM updater does it notify you of an update and download it for you. You only need to do a full wipe if the developer has explicitly stated to do so, otherwise as always run a nandroid before flashing the update.
EDIT: Because the official CM is still running in to bugs I suggest looking through the last few pages of the thread to make sure everything's alright with the latest nightly.

Agreed. I'm running 9-18 and it runs great. The only issue I have is reported: auto focus. GPS works great.

Nightly Builds Cyanogenmod

I currently have the Stock software atm on my Galaxy S III. I was planning to get Cyanogenmod 10, but I see that it is nightly builds.
I was wondering how nightly builds work? Does that mean that everyday you have to update your phone? Also, doing so, will you have to wipe your phone with every build?
If I decide to wait for a stable Cyanogenmod 10 instead of using the nightly builds, and I use Cyanogenmod 9, then want to re-flash to Cyanogenmod 10 would I have to wipe? I know that I can use titanium backup to backup my apps, I am just curious.

CM10 is amazing and quite stable. You don't need to update everyday though if you do you don't need to wipe(though it's better if you wipe in some cases). Stable CM10 is going to take alot of time. CM9-->CM10 is better with wipe.
My advice to you just flash CM10 and update when you want to the latest nightly.

If I have one of the nightly builds already, all I would need to do is go into CWM Recovery and flash the new build. And it wouldn't erase anything on my phone, all it will do is update the software files of CyanogenMod 10. Is this correct?

Yes correct, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the update. You also don`t have to reinstall google apps every time you flash.
Would I just download the nightly build daily from the Cyanogenmod website? Or is there other places I can download it easier from?
Bookmark this : http://get.cm/?device=i9300
In fact, I believe you don't even have to wipe cache as it automatically wiped by the script when you flash CM10..
Here is the link mate http://get.cm/?device=i9300. If you have Rom Manager Premium the update will be downloaded automaticly.
Thanks guys ^ ^ Just what I needed. I'll try flashing the nightlies after I fix my CMW problem with extsdcard, which is at CWM Recovery ExtSDCard Problem if you can help.
Oh and I just realized from the links that you 2 have linked me to. I believe that I have a SGH-T999 since I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III (USA) and on that link, it says i9300 which is the international one. Would it still works on a SGH-T999?
Edit: Nevermind, I think I found the T-Mobile US one. Samsung Galaxy S III (TMUS) - d2tmo. I got it from Cyanogenmod Devices Overview.

No it will not, go to the US T-Mobile forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1706, read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756332 and do not flash anything from here.
Oh… I did not realized that I have been posted in the international forum. Thank you for your help/information though, it was useful nonetheless.

Hi mate, I had installed directly cm10 nightly builds on my galxy s3 international version and i found that there is a battery drainage in cm10 nightly build. usually my mobiles battery life is 15hours (3g on). but i found that in cm10 its only 8hours or even less. is there any solution for this? you are also facing the same issue?
i got CM10 on my GS2 and it works great.
I only wonder, if i use the cynogen updater to update the nightly. do i need to run every single update between my current version and the newest. or do i only need the latest?

How can I duplicate a nightly build? Is there a manifest included in the zip of the build that I can copy into my build tree somewhere? I ask because my local build after repo sync does NOT succeed, whereas it previously did work.

Updating "unofficial" ROM Builds

Hey
Well here is the thing , developers keep updating their build right?
So whats the best way to keep updating to the latest ROM build without losing app data etc etc
As far as i know ROM Manager is not supported on the htc one x with TWRP , right?
AW: Updating "unofficial" ROM Builds
Developers use OTA updates or manual Flash in recovery.

Well i'm on the AOKP 4.2.1 and there is no OTA , manual is the only way i guess.
Do i wipe anything? because it'll be like "re-installing" on the current build to update.

The general rule is that there is no need to wipe unless the dev uses a newer base for the rom. Either way if the dev feels a wipe is necessary he should post it in the changelog for that particular version.
There are plenty of ways to backup your apps and data. Nandroid and titanium backup are the most popular.

I just get a bit loop no matter what I do. I've tried installing it a thousand different ways wiping this and that. I can even install the free xperia project one, but when I upgrade to the latest nightly out goes into a bit loop. I have up on it and installed Paranoid Android.

You must have a C6833. I have a 02. I flashed every which way. From 4.3 and from 4.4, from BE ROM and from AOKP ROM, with wipe and without wipe, wiping dalvik and cache before, after and before and after. I spent an entire day. Flash boot.img and everything else I could think of. Nothing works. I just found out from another thread it's a common problem for the 02 model since February 12. It just keeps giving me the boot loop.

OK, thanks for trying with me. I've done a nandroid backup and proceeded with the upgrade, using the latest boot.img. Same thing - boot loop. Which is weird. I've never had a problem with CM. I can install every other ROM without any problems - I don't understand why it's so difficult with CM this time. I have install the Free Xperia project version of CM and all goes well, I can boot into it. I've tried upgrading to the newer version - I see the "Android is upgrading..." message, then Finishing boot... and it stays of finishing boot for a long time then restarts and goes into a boot loop. SIGH. No more CyanogenMod for me, I guess. But thanks a lot for trying to help me here! Really appreciate you having spent your time. Cheers!

Flashing CM after HTC's official 4.3 update.

I am having a really hard time with my evo lte!
Problem:
I had CM nighties running prior to downloading and using the official HTC RUU for sense 5 and android 4.3.
I ran the RUU and everything was fine, my antennas, bootloader, etc updated.
I decided to go back to CM so I rooted (attempted to later you will find out what went wrong) and installed CWM (latest one 6.0.4.6). I downloaded a cm rom and flashed it with the latest Gapps but every time I flash CM's nightly, it fails. I factory reset and rebooted and it asked me if I wanted to root? <--- think the problem is there... But anyway, I can flash Gapps fine but not CM's roms. I tried stable nightlies and different ones.
Any ideas?

You must flash a version with updated partition support as the 4.3 update changed everything. CM nightlies do not support this, they only work with those who have no updated to the new format that came with 4.3. You'll need to get a build with the support commit included. Fairly easy to do yourself if you have the time and storage on your hard drive.

Thanks for the speedy reply! Quick question, does this mean I need to find an older RUU and use it on my phone before I reroot and try again? Also if you do not mind, can you post quick steps to doing this maybe with links?
The help is greatly appreciated! This is my daily driver phone.

If you want to flash nightlies, you will have to RUU back to an older version. You'll have to run the RUU and go through all the steps again, yes. An alternative is to use ROMs that have been updated to support the new partitions. I believe CaptainThrowback has a list in Android Development that lists all the builds that support. Not included in the list is Pac-Rom which can be found in Original Android Development.

[Q] Will CM work with new partitions post HTC RUU 2013

You guys have any idea if CM will start making nightlies and roms in general for Jewel post RUU that HTC officially launched for Android 4.3 and Sense 5?
I am aware that using the RUU on the device will update radios, bootloader, etc and partitions. The existing CMs (I have tried nightlies) don't flash because of different partitions.
GoblinZ, here on XDA, uploads the nightlies for CM with the modified partitions and this leads me to my second question. Every time I flash one of his roms of CM (unofficial) does that mean if I want to update then I need to factory reset and install rom from recovery? I cannot use the CM updater in the settings menu because it is unofficial right?
Whoever can help, thanks very much! I am new but feel welcome!

In order to go from that new format CM I built to an official cyanogenmod build on the old format, you would need an RUU to go back to the old format...this alone would require a clean flash (ie you would lose your data). I built this as a stop gap for people who would like to still use an updated CM on the new format.
