Hey guys
i want to know i need to wipe anything before or after flashing kernel or rom " Custom" - " Official " Roms ?
Clearing data and cache would ensure you have clean installation.
Yes, you should clear data/cache before you flash a new rom.
For kernels (data wipe/reset is not necessary) there's jbroid script, flash it before you install a new kernel.

It all depends though. If you change ROMs and they are pretty different you really should wipe data, cache, and dalvik. That's what every OP says on ROMs. Just read the OP.
Hi everyone,
Newbie posting here.. I've had my share of flashing Roms a few times (say 4 or 5 times) but i stuck with cm 7.2 when they released the stable mod for the i9000.
Now i see that the cm9 stable mod has been released and i definitely want to try that out however, I'm not sure on how to go about it and I don't want to do anything stupid. Don't get me wrong, i've tried reading around through different sites and forums but all the mix and match methods of flashing and installing has gotten me confused..
My main question is, how do i flash to cm9 from cm 7.2? naturally i have cwm installed and can boot into cwm recovery. Am on the XXJVK baseband with the pawitp kernel. Not sure if i have to donwload new drivers (since the base ROM is going to change)...
Do i just place the zip file for the cm9 mod in the internal sd storage? could you guys help me out and let me know if this process is correct:
1) save zip file in internal storage (both cm9 and gapps)
2) do a nandroid backup
3) boot into recovery
4) wipe data and dalvik cache
5) install the package
6) wipe data and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) reboot
Once it boots up, i'm assuming it'll be running cm9 already.. could you guys help me out and let me know if this procedure's correct? sorry for the noob question but i'd rather just make sure and ask you guys first.
thanks in advance guys! cheers and more power!

wipe date
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
then flash rom nd gapps
wipe cache nd delvik cache again.. good luck..
Best and most reliable way to do this is flashing through stock rom via Odin. Then flashing kernel with CWM Recovery via Odin. And only then flash CM9 via CWM.
thanks for the quick reply guys. will try it out tonight and update this post. hope all goes well.
cheers!

and if u want u can try chimera rom from team passion.. it s combination of cm9 and AOKP.. It s stable and fast..
took me less than 10 minutes to flash to cm9 and it's as snappy as i thought it was. now to fix up everything and check if everything's okay.
so far, wifi and network signal are working fine and dandy. might just have a go at that chimera rom.
hello there, I have an idea already how to do this but I still want to hear confirmation from other folks here, the question is:
Im already at CM10 ROM with Devil Kernel, I want to flash the latest CM10 Nightly Builds, Can I flash this without doing the Wipe data,clear cache, dalvik etc step? and also after flashing this nightly build will I have to reflash the devil kernel?
Thanks..any idea will be much appreciated.. :fingers-crossed:
OK you will have to wipe dalvik and cache and yes you will need to reflash kernel
Sent via that ninja standing right behind you
Hi all .. First thx for the Amazing Forum

Go to cwm, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. If it doesn't help reflash ROM or restore backup.

I tried to wipe cache and dalvik .. didn't work
i'll try to flash it to android 2.3.6 by odin & reinstall the aokp rom
thx for reply
still having the same problem
Err... you don't need to flash stock ROM again... just do a clean install of aokp... or any other ROM if it gives you trouble

I try it too But Still having the problm
Anyway Thx all I installed the cm10 now and it worked pretty cool
So i just want to confirm that while updating in the same custom rom what all things do i have to keep in mind.
1) Should I wipe the whole phone or just directly install the rom and wipe dalvik cache afterwards
2)or should i wipe system and cache before updating
These may seem silly but i dont want to brick me phone
thanks
Really??!
Dude go to the Blisspop thread and read the instructions again.
