Dirty flash the rom by wiping caches and system only. Then reboot. No data will be lost.
If you want to go to another rom clean flash is recommended. Wipe Caches, System and Data and flash the new rom. Obviously data will be lost.

There is no need to wipe system in 99% of cases when updating a custom ROM. Stop lying.

FOrmat System and Wipe Data ofc xD
just to be safe, make a backup in recovery before you do anything. then, wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache. after you finish this, you can flash the rom
so i just flashed jokers new rom on my photon 4g (without wiping anything) and now i have no service. can anyone help?? should i install one of those fixes?

The not wiping anything part is probably your problem. You should always at least wipe cache and dalvik. Data and system can stay intact. Make sure you downloaded the right version aswell. (Cdma/gsm) wipe those and try again. If that doesn't work, perhaps try those fixes youre refering to and if that doesn't work, full wipe.

Which rom are you referring to? cm10 is his latest i believe? Is your photon unlocked & rooted? What Recovery did you flash? (joker has A CWM specially made for his roms) Unless you are upgrading a rom to a newer version of it, or you are using aroma installer, it is always important to wipe your phone prior to flashing. Im a wee bit OCD about it, so i
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache Partition
3) Format System
4) Format Data
5) Format Cache
6) Wipe Dalvic Cache
Then begin flashing. For safe measures always flash your rom twice to ensure it has been properly flashed
*edit*
Did you flash from a stock rom? If so, which gingerbread version was it running? and did you ensure to update it before you flashed?
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 .

Clean flash wipes data and factory resets the device where dirty flash flashes over existing rom if I'm not mistaken
Dirty flash is flashing a ROM over another one without any wipes, but can cause problems, instability, bootloops and crashes.
Clean install is when you wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing. Clean install is always recommend because it will usually avoid all the problems caused by dirty flash.

Hi,
My problem is that I can not install any gapps on my GT-I9300 I have fleshed it with many different version of custom ROM, using android 7, 7.1, 6 and 5.1. Unfortunately regardless of the version of the gapps (nano or stock) installation ends up with error that google apps stopped working. The gaps version is correct for given android version. When I flash ROM only - no gapps - the phone usually works fine but only on Android v5.
When I try ver 6 ROM flash does not even start. With ver 5.1 it flashes but then get some apps error.
Any suggestions or idea? What can goes wrong? Where to start troubleshooting ? On the stock firmware the phone was working fine.
Thx for help
Did you clean flash it, like proper format data. And what rom are you using?

I tried at least 7 different ROMs. Before I flash, I run wipe data/factory reset then cache partition and dalvik cache at the end.

I'll ask you again, did you format data which in the the advance wipe section. And also what version TWRP and opengapps are you using?

Sly Fox007. Now I'm not sure if I format the data correctly. I use ClockwordMod Recovery v6.0.1.2 not TWRP. Is this a possible source of my problem?
