hey dudes and guys,
i have installed the RC0 CM9 on my sgs.
now i think about an update to the nighlies.
The files will declerate with "update" tag.
so, in my opinion, i can update my system without any losts of my data.
Is that right?
Or is there a big change so i need to reset the system?
And if i need to reset, can anyone tell how i can save my personal dictonary?
i´m frustrated to create a new dictionary by each upgrade.

Should be right...just make a nandroid backup and don't forget to wipe cache & dalvik cache

A friend has asked me to update her Orange Samsung S to Froyo using Kies.
Does this reset the phone back to factory settings, or just upgrade the firmware. And is it possible to do an over the air update if this is better?
Sorry for such a basic question, but I use an HTC so wondered if it was different.
Thanks for any help.
it shouldn't reset to factory settings.
but if you want performance, it is recommended to factory reset before you install a new rom.
make a backup using titanium backup and you will have all your data again
cheers

Let's say i have gignerDX5 installed and want to update to v6. Do I have to backup all my apps and data (sms, phonebook) again?
Simple answer is no, you can just upgrade and it will keep all user data.
You should however make a backup in Xrecovery just in case something goes wrong, if all goes well then either move the backup to PC for later or just delete.
I updated from Froyobread to GingerDX and still kept my data and apps.
I make somethimes fullfactory in Xrecovery,if I switched to new room.It´s not bat to make back up in Xrec.of old room.It´s your game,wher you have back up.I use Titanum backup pro and my acount for phonebook and calendar.I do´nt need anything else for change the room.
Hi...
I have a question, and I didn't wanna create new thread, cuz its related to title
When I flash a new rom, its recommended to do a Full Wipe... Do I have to do that before or after flashing a Rom?
You don't need to do a full wipe when you update GingerDX. Just install it and reboot. I didn't have any bugs by not making a full wipe.

If you're coming from 2.1 to DX do a wipe, I tried first time yesterday installing rom and got stuck on cyanogen mod boot screen. Did a wipe, reinstaled and worked.
So do wipe if coming from other rom
Anyone have step by step what needs to be done when upgrading your CM7 rom. om on 115 and i've seen in the newer versions some things have been fixed and i want to update, but do i have to download all of my apps again? contact i grab from gmail so i'm not concerned about that, just apps and data (pics/sounds etc.)
Don't have to do anything at all, just flash the new nightly and you're done.
wont that delete all my data?
no you dont lose your data by flashing a new cm version

hi guys
want to confirm sumthin..
1. there is a function under setting--privacy--restore data factory in my note
im running rocket rom v19 which came originally when i bought this 2nd hand set.. there is also rooted,cwm,jkay inside..
so the question is.. what will happen if i do the factory reset from here?
will my rooted(super user),cwm,jkay gone or erase?
will it go back to stock rom?
2. there is full wipe option in cwm.. izzit wipe all the rom file oso? what will happen when i do full wipe without flashing any rom?
is there any option in cwm to remove all data/account only? ( i mean to make it like super virgin yet still with the same rom with rooted,cwm and jkay)
hope you guys can help on this.. i want to remove all the previous owner data..
You can factory reset from clockwork....its all good just backup what you don't want to lose.
Btw you won't lose root....just do the reset from clockwork.....i have had issues doing it from inside the Rom.
One last thing make sure you keep a zip of the Rom onboard so if you run into bootloops after the reset you can just reinstall the Rom and be brand new.....you could also do that instead of the reset if you wanted also.

full wipe from CWM will restore your note to default settings
default as in a clean install of:
- current installed rom (Rocket v19)
- Root
- jKay
- CWM
- no apps
So, better you back up using TiBu first whatever you need to restore after defaulting
hi
so i was running NOVA HD 1.0.3 and i wanted to update to 1.1.0, but i didnt know if there was a different way except for flashing to i opened a post on XDA and got respone:"yes, u can just flash over the older version, if u dont wipe data all files will be saved" (thats what it said in short).
So i tried this, booted in latest CWM, wipe cache partition-> install from sd card-> NOVA HD V1.1.0, setup wizard and now i'm in a bootloop...
I took 128mb swap, heavy multitasking and europe gps, the rest i left defaulted as i remember. Then just the reboot after the install wizard, now its in a bootloop. I tried to make a NANDROID backup but when backuping the data it encountered an error so that was a no-go.
It is looping in the cm boot animation, after the lg-logo.
Do i just need to download different ROM and flash that, or back to lg stock software??
hoping for quick response cause i ****ing hate this, and i already lost all my data as it is now, i assume.
got it working now after full wipe

Refering to my answer in other post??? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781601)
I NEVER said that your data will be saved if you dont wipe.
When you're flashing a new version (update) of the same custom rom, you dont need a full factory wipe. Only Cache, Dalvik and Battery stats wipe are needed. But if you change, for example, cm9 to cm7, then you need a Full Wipe.
So before accusing people, be sure of knowing what you're doing. We are a community and we try to help other people.
When we say "Make a NANDROID backup" before doing anything stupid, it's not a joke. So before flashing anything new...try to solve your real problem...
Maybe you need to read more then only 1 thread to understand what is working or not when you're flashing new rom or kernel...
