[Q] Is it really necessary to do the wipe data? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought my Z2 and it came with .55 taiwan fw, updated via OTA to .69. Now I updated through flashtools to .402 DE, but I did not wipe data, only cache and logs! Would need to do to avoid any problems, such as battery drain, etc, or is it not necessary?

The bigger the software step is, the more it is advisable to start fresh.
As long as you dont face problems you are fine.

[Q] Able to flash roms on ICS?

After upgrading my motorola razr XT910 to a brazil ICS firmware, rooting it, and putting CWM on it, I cannot seem to find any roms that work for it. I know lots of them say that you need .183 or .178 firmwares on it but lots of them also don't say anything. I am wondering if there are any roms that I can flash? I have the firwmare 672.180.310.XT910.Brasil.en.BR
Any help would be great!
Till now we got only MiUi to flash on GSM ICS

> i flashed the actual Version today and it's really nice (after played with the Themes and put Apex Launcher on top)
http://files.miuiandroid.com/2.6.29/miuiandroid_umts_spyder-2.6.29.zip
This is the newest Version.
After you flashed this Rom, flash CWM on Boot again before you reboot your phone.

Yes.
I would try a fresh install, maybe you forgot something. Make a wipe and try a clean install again. Maybe bad download

You have to go into hboot. It could be tricky ton time this. I am sure you flashed
wrong kernel.

Seems like i fixed it i ran OXP_FLASH_KERNEL and it worked...
But i still wonder why it didnt work, it said put the boot.img in and i did.
You have to set the right path using venom flasher. The default kernel is sense and that would cause boot loop.

For MIUI you need the kernel that has been asked by the OP. definitely not the stock kernel!
It is a modified CM10 kernel, if you are talking about the WIP ROM by Notorious in the general forum that is..
