Hey guys, how can I update my n1 from 7.0.2.1
to 7.0.3 without formating my phone?
Thanks
Just flash the rom over the top, make a backup first though.

But do not forget to wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

Not a necessary step, at least in my experience.

You normally only need to format between major revisions, it CM6 to CM7 to CM8. To update to 7.0.3, you just flash the file like normal, and if you are using ROM Manager, just don't select the wipe option.
But as others have said, make sure you backup before you flash. Ideally, you should be able to upgrade without a problem, but unfortunately, we don't always live in an ideal world. Better to be safe than sorry. That way if the flash doesn't work out, you can just revert to your backup.
i have learned so much on this site but there is one noob question i have to ask that i still dont fully understand... im wondering when rom developer recommends a "wipe" before flashing what are they refering too? I mean i understand wiping cache ive done that numerous times but i thought wiping data gets rid of everything on your phone? Is wiping data/factory reset the same thing? why would you want to delete everything on your phone in order to flash 1 rom.. maybe im missing something. I appreciate your replys!

Wiping data is the same as a data/factory reset. Usually when switching between roms, application data is not compatable and will cause force closes. You can usually skip wiping data if flashing the same type of rom, eg, between blur roms, aosp gingerbread, aosp froyo. Sometimes you'll still get force closes and will need to wipe data anyways. If you use an app like mybackup root, you can backup all your apps prior to flashing a new rom, and restore just the app. This will prevent force closes, but you'll love any app data. But at least your apps aren't lost/forgotten.

After flashing some new roms lately, I've been unable to restore my user apps with data, or else the apps will force close (weirdly, some apps work okay with a data restore, but the vast majority will fc). Also, when trying to restore back to my old rom (AOKP) via Nandroid, I get an error saying cannot mount /data, stopping the process. I tried deleting all my backups, making new ones, flashing stock, and yes I follow the OP exactly. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had this issue either on this ROM or another one. Any help appreciated, thanks.
To restore a Nandroid, you actually have to flash the rom first, then after it fully boots up restore your Nandroid. As for Apps and data, try restoring the apps first, rebooting, then restoring the data.
Referring to your app restore suggestion. That doesn't work. I've tried it

Then i don't what else to suggest. You tried downloading apps fresh, then restoring your backed up data?
Common issue for me. Just wipe data first and it should work. No need to flash the ROM

Use TiBu instead of Nandroid. Only had issue with porting my WiFi settings from GB to ICS.
But in general restoring apps with settings and data is a pain. That prevents me from becoming flash junkie.
I understand your concern with using nandroid. That was just a side statement. The issue is restoring USER apps with data. Why is this occurring now when it has never occurred before

I just want to add that this exact same thing has happened to me on a variety of ICS ROMS (including AOKP M5) and I too follow the installation instructions including wiping and formatting.
Very annoying.

Sorry, sorry. I was specifically referring to the nandroid backup issue. IF while restoring, you can't get past "Cannot mount /data!", THEN wipe data, and continue restoring data by doing advanced restore from there (so you don't have to restore /boot and /system again...)

Ah okay. Thanks for the tip.
So no one has any idea what's the cause of this. Everyone who has come across this issue, including myself, seem to have no clue how to fix it. There's basically an exact same q&a thread on vibrant forums with the same issue and there's like 5 people there who cannot figure out why

What happens if you dl from market without restoring data? Still get fc's?
without restoring data? No FC. After restoring data, FC.
Hey Mikel I just flashed Docs Master v11 which just came out. For the first time in a long time I did not have the app f/c problem at all. Everything ran fine right from TIBU restore.
I flashed this ROM exactly the same way as I've flashed the last few AOKP roms. Hmmmm..

Hey everyone...
ive already tried to get some quick help already but i really need my phone tonight LOL.
iam running cm9 rom with the latest cm9 stable kernal, now i wanted to flash the hydrocore kernal to see if battery would improve, but it seemed fine but then choppy afew hours later so i changed back to cm9 kernal. Anyway after it rebooted it stayed on the paranoid android bootscreen! where you see the picture loading. i then tried to wipe the cache and dalvik and its still stuck. someone mentioned to do a wipe but i was unsure if he meant to a full wipe? as ive not wiped the factory reset, just the two caches! ive also flashed both kernals back and forth and im still stuck.
Its a simple issue iam sure but could someone help me, im unsure if i should do a full wipe including factory reset or just flash the cm9 rom again. if so can i have instructions step by step...
thank you.
islandmixed, you are on a safe kernel so there is no harm in performing a wipe data/factory reset.
:good:

A full wipe worked, it rebooted. since iam weiry about restoring my apps again via mybackup pro i might just check all my apps installed from google and install them one by one and then that way i wont have to worry about anything going wrong. i do have a backup from TB and mybackup but someone said it can cause issues when restoring to a cm9 rom!
Thanks for the help. iam back again at the start HEHE.

Oh I got it now. But why would any stock apps install? If the new rom will have its own stock apps. I didn't even know TB backed up stock apps. That makes it confusing to me

You know when I wiped data would it have wiped off the gapps? I'm sure I had more rom apps with this....hmmmm
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
wipe data is totally wiping what's in your phone.. including what's inside the system/apps, build props and framework...
you may need to flash back your g.apps if you want to get all of them and selectively selecting which to install back(rather than just restoring it from TB)
TB does not restore all what you have made a backup to.

Okay then I guess the factory reset only deleted user apps then. I was told it deletes system apps which is why I thought it deleted gapps.

Hi - I hope someone can help me out here. I have rooted my Nook HD+ after following the excellent instructions on here. I have been running the tablet with no problems for ages. I have messed about with something - well I think it was my kids as they have borrowed it and now I keep getting an error saying Google Play Store and GMail have stopped working. It slows the tablet down and keeps occuring regularly.
Here is my question. If I go to Settings and Back Up/Restore will this reset back to original CM10.2 or would it try and reset back to the Nook OS? If the latter then how do I do a reinstall and start from scratch with 10.2 again?
Many thanks in advance for any help with this.
Are you talking about a factory reset? If so you'll keep the same ROM you have now but it'll be like you did a fresh install of it so no user apps.

Hi - yep that is what I want to do. Will I need the sd card I created when I rooted and rommed? I want to start fresh with a clean install again and start from scratch. Hopefully this time Play Store won't mess up.

That I am not certain of. I have my ROM on EMMC and don't use the sdcard for anything other than media storage. That would be a great question for /u/leapinlar.

You can boot to CWM and factory reset. That will keep CM10.2 on there but you will have to re-setup Google and reinstall your apps.

Have you tried resetting just the two problematic apps (via Settings->Apps->(e.g., GMail)->Clear Cache & Data)?
If that doesn't help you can proceed to reset the device and re-download the apps (BTW if you had previously enabled Google Backup/Restore feature the apps you previously downloaded will be automatically re-downloaded after you re-setup the Google account).

Hi - yes I tried to do the cache and data emptying trick but to no avail.
I did the reinstall and it worked a treat - however I did need to reinstall the gapps package for some reason.

If you reinstalled the ROM you should reinstall the gapps too. I just said if you factory reset you did not need to reinstall the gapps package.

To be honest I couldn't find a factory reset option - the only option I had was to wipe user data. This is what I chose and it worked a treat - luckliy I still had the gapps zip on my memory card so it was simple. Where is the option to factory reset? I thought I checked everywhere for it.
