Is it 100% neccessary to wipe before updating a rom if its the same rom just a different version? Like I have cyans 3.6.8.1 and want to go to cyans 4.0.1
I'm just looking for some clarification on this matter. I know when you switch roms you want to but I haven't really seen anything concrete on upgrading roms. Any help would be appreciated
No, no, no.... you need to wipe when you use a bathroom, not when you flash software
People will hate me for this but... here it goes
We wipe to avoid problems with the new rom. We DO NOT know if we will have problems, good chance that we will NOT. I never wipe untill something goes wrong, and I was just fine for last 14-15 flashes.
Here's another way to think about it.... do OTA updates wipe your phone? Didn't think so.
Flash away. If you have problems then, and only then, nand back to your previous configuration, wipe, reflash. Don't wipe after flash... Cyan's roms don't like that AFAIK.
Good luck.

I heard somewhere that it's best to wipe when going from HTC rom to Google rom and vice versa. I know that for cyan's roms that if you rarely have to wipe (I had to wipe when trying out 3.9.11.*), but for the most part you won't have to (went from 3.4.6 to each update until 4.0.1 without wipe)

At this point..the only HTC roms we have are Hero and that's a whole another story. Not only you have to wipe but also reformat your sd. Big mess... not worth it IMHO. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for ppointing this out though...
Personally, I wipe, then repair ext filesystems before I flash a new ROM. The only time I don't is when I'm updating a ROM that I have, cm x.x.x to cm x.x.x, in hich case I'll just repair ext's then flash. But, when in doubt...
Original question(s) seem to be solved.
Closing thread
i have done quite a few searches on this and yet have found nothing so i hope i dont get reamed for posting this.
if someone has a link for this answer id be very thankful.
if not then PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN!!!!!!!
at the moment i am running drizzy hero rom. to do the update i did use the one touch root. on a second phone i did it manually. on both i added the hard spl and am running the RA v 1.2.1 recovery. I liked this ROM and wanted to see what bugs it had. after a few days i wanted to switch and try a different ROM I have dl most of the ROMs available and already have them on my sdcard once i did this no ROM would load except for Drizzy(new Vision v2.8). after trying a few things and accomplishing nothing i decided to redo EVERYTHING. unrooted my phone rooted again applied recovery made sure radio was to date and spl. and still nothing i cant even run the original jf1.5 that i was using before deciding to port. this issue is occuring on both phones. 1st phone was again done with one step root and the 2nd phone was done completly manually. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to try these other roms SO PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. if you need more information on what i did with these phones ill gladly tell you step by step on what i did.
sorry for that.
I was using my G1 and also had a friends. On my g1 i used the one step root. I used the Instructions from The Unlocker.com. It uses flashrec.apk and also Amon Ra's recovery image. After that i went over to the How to Load a Custom ROM. same site. It asks you to check the Radio and the Spl. The radio is 2.22.19.26I and the spl used was the HARDSPL 1.33.2005.
Once i finished that i went and formated the sdcard to Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap also converted Ext2 to Ext3.Then I did-Move Dalvik Cache to SD. last 3 steps to speed up hero. after all of that I loaded 4 ROMS CyanogenMod ROM, jACXHeroSkiv Hero ROM v1.8, Drizzy’s NewVision TouchFlo ROM, and JF v1.5 Cupcake ROM. I have only flashed Drizzy's until last night.
I was unable to flash any other one and when i flashed back to drizzy I had problems loading it back but eventually loaded fully the issue was running the startup wizard it kept crashing. after a reboot it was ok.
Give us step by step on what you did and USE PARAGRAPHS
that whole thing looked like mumbo jumbo to me
put new lines where they belong to help separate out the steps you took
FIXED! thanks!

did you do a data wipe? you need to wipe going from hero to cupcake/donut
When I first did all of that I did. Am I supposed to data wipe everytime I switch the Rom?

when your using hero rom's, yes.
if your upgrading cupcake roms (ie cyan 4.0.4 to 4.1.9.2 ), no
If its not working, WIPE
you cant go from hero to cupcake without wiping and not expect a lot of problems. they cause too many issues.
hero roms use the data partition differently
also remember to wipe /system/sd/ to clear all of that out. pull your /system/sd/ to your computer first though
thanks you guys it helped alot
I've tried an assortment of different costume firmware options. CM from bacon, up to the most recent. King's nexus2desire, etc. I've followed the directions as far as I know completely... But this always seems to happen, with either of the two roms.
I'll get some sort of random bug, and it causes a total freeze to where I have to pull the battery to restart it.. But then once I do that, the phone fails to reboot, in which I have to restore the firmware (factory data wipe + delete dav don't help).
It could be working fine for a couple of days, then all of a sudden this happens and screws everything up? Is this to be expected early on since it's development, or is there something wrong on my end?
wrong section, but yea, never happeend to me before.
I wasn't sure if should ask here, since it's based on the development roms here.
When I flash, I always do complete wipe (Factory, Dav, SD:ext, Batt, rotation), then reboot. I never wipe after flashing new rom. I'm using the newest radio, but have had these issues with all the previous radios too. Could there be a hardware malfunction possibly adding to this?

Yeah something similar would happen to me. I said F it and had HTC send me a new one.
I have only had experience with CM 5, so if you install 5.0.4.1 and get this issue WITHOUT modifying the ROM with other mods, then you probably have a hardware fault. Warranty case that is.

I've had CM6 final on my G1 for awhile, but it's giving me problems, like i cant open CyanogenMod Settings. i've reflashed, done a data wipe, reflashed, but it still wont work. So, i'm gonna downgrade to RC3, but i'm not sure how. Do i make a Nandroid and then flash RC3? or is there something else i have to do?
any info would be appreciated.
just wipe and flash RC3 + gapps
I left the final version for RC3 too... solely because of the battery life
batt life on RC3 is goooooddd
thanks, Adamsville. do i flash the gapps-mdpi-tiny-20100816-signed.zip? or a different gapps?
crap. i did a wipe and flashed CM6 RC3 and the GAPPS, but now Market is force closing.
OH GOD! MARKET FORCE CLOSES?! OH NO! WATCH OUT, YOUR PHONE MIGHT TURN INTO AN iPHONE 4! It's Force Closes. Fix Permissions, and move on. Next time, dont ask questions about downgrading. Just Flash a ROM.
Hey guys; i'll try to provide you with all the information but honestly i'm not 100% on all of it so try and be patient.
I'm trying to go back to SuperE from Froyo by Laszlo which was absolutely killing my battery without me even using it. However, every time i flash it (and i wipe everything) after it goes past the G1 screen it just resets again.
I'm not sure if this is maybe because of the new kernel (2708) which i'm PRETTY sure i have, but am not 100%. I do know that i have one of the new radios though.
Would the kernel be causing the problem? If so how do i downgrade?
I hope you can help me out!
Thank you!
Q: Can you mention step-by-step what did you flash? And confirm the exact setup before flashing. I believe you mentioned your radio is 2708.

Thank you for replying. I'll definitely try.
I'm back on FroyoByLaszlo-int2.1 because i couldn't successfully flash either Super D or Super E.
My Radio is 2.22.28.25
Kernel version says 2.6.35.10 - froyobylaszlo
Basically i did what i always do. I wiped everything, first by flashing the "all-wipe" and then going back and wiping it all manually.
Then i flashed the appropriate gapps, followed by the ROM. Rebooted afterwards, but every time it gets passed the G1 screen it reboots.
The only thing i can think of is incompatibility with the kernel but then again, i don't know crap, so that's why i'm asking
Yep, most likely it is indeed the incompatibility of the kernel with the radio.
I'd try flashing the ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708.zip after the ROM+GApps.
Just use Google to find the kernel.

The battery drain could be becos of the new kernel. Try installing the 35.9 kernel from ezterry (the one he had for CyanogenMod 6.1 2708) It is working good for me, the battery last for a whole day.
