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...

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
i first of all , i have an alltel. 3 months ago i was running CM7 i had no problems with the rom! i decided to get back to a sense Rom. i found Wildheroc 2.1 i flashed it. i notice i kept missing sms! and didn't detect my carrier! so i flashed back to CM7 (the same one) and i started to miss sms with that Rom too? then i found the new sense Rom from yesterday i flashed it last night, same results. i think somehow i messed up my phone from flashing back and forth! can anyone help me?
Try flashing back to stock using the HTC RUU. see if you still miss texts. If not, then go back to CM7 or whatever rom you want with Z4root.
try doing a full wipe and full format( wipe data,cashe and dalvic, mounts and storage, format boot,cashe,system and data you know the routine) do a full wipe again, yes do it again then reflash your rom, you should be ok after that.
i do know theres been alot of issues with the wildheroc's mms and sms. BTW, What kernel are you running ??? Just curious

alright I'll let you know how it goes. Kernel 2.6.35
Just let us know
Full Wipe
I used the Caulkin's wipe all and it seemed then reflashed to wildheroc and that correct my missing sms.
FWIW
cool, glad you got it worked out, later man
will i lose all settings, files, apps?
is there a way to keep everything and change rom?
I would say it is good practice to do full wipe when switching to different ROM generation.
Once you are on CM7 upgrading to never version is OK with just caches cleanup.
In your case I would use TitaniumBackup or any similar app to backup all the apps. In theory you could try to restore the app data but may not work properly. Use as much as possible backup/recovery build in the apps.
BTW consider app2ext - I do not known if such a feature is available in FM - search the forum how to create separated partition on your SD card
well i gave it a try.
updated OR, did all 3 wipes, installed the latest CM7 and rebooted.
i just got the M sign no matter what i did.
had to nandroid back to my latest backup.
never had that in any froyo mod.
is it hopeless?
should i try again?
When you wipe, go into the partitions menu and format boot and system too.

how exactly?
didn't find it in the OR menus.
Don't do that!
There's no data of /boot in CM7 packages!
Switching from Stock 2.2.1 to CM7 worked flawlessly for me back then.
Try downloading the CM7 .zip again, apply it and do all 3 wipes afterwards.
tried again, like you said.
didnt work. back to froyo.
bummer.
ok, tried the HO NO mod of this rom and its working!
looking great. thanks for your help.
this HO NO is a version of the original CM7. meaning if there are future updates to the original CM7 i will be able to update, correct?
i wont have to necessarily wait for a "HO NO" version?
It's not that easy.
HO!NO! is a CM7 mod - that's right.
But if you mix updates from both HO!NO! and CM7 you will very likely end up with the M-screen or bootloops again.
Usually it's like this:
Update the ROM you're on: flash zip, wipe caches
Change to a different ROM: flash zip, wipe everything
I was wondering how perfect of a restore a CWM restore is.
I was running a custom GB ROM (rocket rom to be exact) and it was running flawlessly. I then decided I might try this new CM9 ICS ROM.
So to be sure about the CM9 install, I figure I'd install from a stock GB Rom. So I first did a CWM backup of my current rocket rom and then I restored an older stock (rooted) ROM. It seemed to work fine. Then.... after reading about the (few) issues wit this new CM9 rom I decided I'd wait a bit longer until a few more of the quirks are worked out.
So I then restored back my Rocket rom backup and even doing the flash cache and davik cache also. But now I notice my once working Rocket ROM is experiencing a lot of SODs.
So now I'm wondering how perfect my restore was. I really don't have a lot of apps or wireless networks and can easily restore my contact list. For that reason, do you think it'll help if I do a factory reset wipe and then reinstall everytyhing....or even go so far as reinstall rocket rom and then reinstall everything else manually without any restores...would that be really the best clean install....or would any of this not make a difference at all and wiping/reinstall a toatl waste of time and my prob is actuaully something else....
Thanks
I could do with knowing the answer to these questions too.
It would be good to get a detailed idiots guide to CWM, do's and don't's etc.
Well a clean install will surely get you rid of the SODs. There is some app and its data that is conflicting with the system and crashes the whole phone. So if you are ready to clean install everything that will fix everything

sleep of death, its the device not waking up properly from sleep
Pus it doesnt include efs, so its not complete backup. Handy if yu stay n same rom version, but thats likely not.
Squicky clean install is always best. Even only app and data recovering thought titanium can mess things up. Make it laggy and nonfunctional etc, Blegh

1. Install abyssnote42
2. Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
3. Restore your rocketrom backup
That's what i do with my rocketrom v23 backup
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
its not perfect but its the best so far
all i can say is that cwm is the best and simple thing for me so far and if u get trouble some times while trying to shift from CM9 to normal ics or from gb to ics all I suggest is use redpill recovery from abbysnote

Yeah, mine does that from the clock on Dragon ICS 2.4 when charging it didn't use to, started since I started Dual Booting. 2.5 is out in the next hour or so according to the Dev page. Hope it fixes an otherwise awesome ROM.. Otherwise it's back to single booting and possibly on to Omega 12 until CheckROM is released..
Hey all,
I installed CM10 Helly Bean (DerTeufel) port for Captivate V10 with full wipe.
It seemed to be working fine... fooled around a bit, tried out Google Now, etc.
Was restoring apps (not data) w/ Titanium Backup.. forget if it had finished or not...
Didn't try to run any of these programs or anything, just tried to unlock and the touchscreen was not responsive... Tried wiping cache+dalvik + fixing permissions... tried reinstalling ROM and GAPPS...
All are in a non-responsive bootloop.
I'm starting over now with another factory wipe... as of now it is stuck on "Welcome" Screen and touchscreen is not responding... AND.. it just restarted
Any ideas as to the problem... Was it Titanium Backup related? Should I resist running that again (assuming this ever works)?
I would post this on Development thread but I still don't have my 10 posts, heh, mostly a long-time lurker...
Thanks!
Worse than I thought!
So It's worse than I thought... I gave up and re-flashed slim (ICS)... and the same problem still exists... boots up, looks normal, can't touch anything.... eventually it reboots....
Suggestions?
Would ODIN flash do anything different? I9000 bootloaders?

What I can suggest is, go back to GB. Download a one click Odin w/ bootloaders, you can search that in the dev forum. After that flash it with a corn kernel so you can have a working CWM. And then Go to recovery, have a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik) TWICE and flash this--
Slimmed Down V10 by cbalt
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik
Flash http://www.mediafire.com/?9p212pempybwnj3
Then Flash http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bdjabcmobz6aw6k
Then Fix Permissions
Then Reboot

I can recommend you that one because it's the one the I'm currently using right now and I can say that it's working like a charm.
The method above is the one I'm using everytime I flash a ROM. I always do a full wipe so I won't be encountering any issues or whatsoever.
About TiBu, I am not sure if that's where the issue coming from because I've been using TiBu for a long time and haven't encountered that. Just always remember, if you are using backup using TiBu, just backup the User Apps+Data, DO NOT INCLUDE THE SYSTEM APP. Goodluck!
So you think w/bootloaders will help?
I have flashed every odin w/o bootloaders that I have access too and all get me stuck at ATT bootscreen....
Little hesitant to reflash my bootloaders since I was/am already on GB bootloaders, but if it might help I may have to do it...
I actually was on that JB version (but with the normal gapps b/c I wanted google now...)... now I'm on no version of anything hahah

I met a problem. I do not know wether or not it is common. The phone will reboot by itself sometimes.
Do you have the same problem?
same here
seems as though many of the problems experienced by one are shared by the other
this is logical as they share many common points including the same partition and both jellybean derivations
I was having issues... accelerometer and audio issues.
All came out right as rain after flashing back to stock and reflashing
