I previously had Nightly 10 and was using it,
I upgraded to Nightly 10.1, I dont like it and want to revert back without loosing my data.
Can I install previous version or Cynogen 10.0 Stable without Wiping my phone?

Better thing is installation with full-wipe, becuase with out it your rom can be slower. You should do backup for example by Titanium backup and install cm10 with full wipe. Your all data gonna be safe.

Alright, I'll go by the shortcut, if there are problems Ill do a wipe :good:
Backing up everything and restoring everything back is a hefty job
You should be fine. 10 to 10.1 was a minor update.

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 used to installing ICS based Roms in my previous SGS-I9000 and when I needed to revert back to Gingerbread custom rom, I had to use PC odin to do that, since just Nandroid restore will not work.
Is the same thing valid for Galaxy Note?
I am currently in rocket rom and like to try out CyanogenMod 9 experimental Build but wondering if I will be able to simply restore my current rom without the hastle of using Odin. Please advise if you try this already.
Look like no stable CyanogenMod 9 for Galaxy Note for now....
Well it's pretty stable. Bluetooth, Camera and MTP are not working.
But it's possible to restore it to gingerbread with nandroid restore.
I tried it and everything works.
hehehhee i installed ics 4.0 around 6 times and to revert back all you need is just a nandroid backup go in recovery and restore your backup thats it no nothing hope this answers your problem
enjoy

I know this is the wrong thread but since cm9 thread is closed, do you have an HDMI adapter for your Galaxy Note? If so could you tell me if it works on CM9?
Yes, you can restore your NAND backup without any problems. I've done it myself.
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..

thanks
Hey, I just wanted to know if it would be possible to dirty flash CM 12.1 from my current rom which is Pure Nexus Project. Would there be any problems considering CM 12.1 is based on Lollipop? Or should I flash Lollipop first then proceed with 12.1. Also I have no interest in the unofficial releases for CM 13.
Don't dirty flash....
Yea... pretty sure a dirty flash downgrade will have no hope of working...
You could always backup and try, that way you would have a restore point for when it almost certainly turns out to not work going from a MM aosp ROM to a lp cm rom via dirty flash...
I'm sure you already spent more time on this issue than actually doing a clean install would have taken.
Nowadays a clean install means a factory reset in recovery with what you keep all your files and personal data. You make a Titanum backup before flashing, and after you let Google install all your software, you just restore the data to the applications.
You basicly can't retain any system data going from one rom to another, so those setting will have to be set by hand anyway.

Official CM13 is now out. And don't dirty flash, it probably wont even boot.
as many as are telling you not to dirty flash, i wont. but, i will tell you to make a nandroid backup in recovery first. that way when you do dirty flash, and things dont go well, you can always restore your backup.
