Update to latest Milaq's Nigthly build - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the Touchpad installed with Milaq's nightly build 08/25 and the jb-app 2013/03 build.
Is there a way to update to latest Milaq's nightly build and latest jb-app 2013/08/12 without resetting the configuration in Touchpad and will have to re-install all the apps and their config/settings?
I was thinking to install the update via CWM-Clockmod, but afraid that I will have to re-install and reconfig all the apps.
Thanks,

Well, if nothing else, an app like MyBackup Root will be able to save all of your apks+their data. Plenty of other apps do it too, that is just the one I've used. Good luck.

You can try a dirty flash, meaning that you only wipe cache and dalvik (not system or data) when you flash it in recovery. Make sure to do a nandroid first.

There shouldn't be any issues when flashing the new nightly from the recovery (CWM or TWRP). Just remember to wipe cache and Dalvik cache before rebooting to CM.

I did an dirty update to the newest cm10.2 nightly coming from cm10.1 - no bad issues so far.
Be sure to make a backup of your old rom and simply try

[Q] SD Card Removed???

Ok, so I went from Classicnerd to CM9 Alpha 2 to the CM9 Unofficial Nightlies and I am having an issue with the latest update. It seems that when I upgrade to either the CM9 Official Nightly or the most recent Unofficial Nightly, I am getting an SD Card Removed error. It seems to be linked to the upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. All the apps that have been moved to my SD Card partition are not accessible. Anyone know why? I haven't wiped completely, because I am happy on 4.0.3, but I just wanted to see if there is an answer for this?

It sounds like something got corrupted. If you have a good backup, restore it, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. That should do it. If you don't have a good backup, try wipe delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. You'll have to restore your data, but that's what you get for not having a nandroid.........
Good luck.
Edit : Rereading your post, I think you'll have to do a clean install of cm9. ClassicNerd uses different source. If you have a good backup, you can try advanced restore > restore data, or Titanium.
Yes, he's right.
When going from one release to the next in the same style of series (Alpha2 => Nightlies => more nightlies), you can get away with just a wipe of the /cache and the Dalvik cache. If you go from CN => Nightlies or Nightlies => CM, or any other combo that isn't the same series, you are best set to do a full backup, then a full wipe and start fresh. You can try an Advanced Restore, but be aware it might not work.
I too am having the same problem... it first occurred with the upgrade to 4.0.4. I wiped every thing restored cm9 backup and wen I'm instcalling apps and moving them to sdcard after about five apps my sdcard is removed and will not mount. So I reverted to cm7 (got to have headphone jack) and after moving some apps the samething occured again...

Since we are talking about wiping, I would just like to chime in and ask how that is done on the TouchPad. The only other Android device I have ever owned is my Droid X2 that I use now. And when I want to wipe that, Motorola has a method of doing it to where it sets you back to stock factory settings with a file they provide. Since the TouchPad isn't an official Android device and all, what do you use to wipe it and start over? A link to a thread that explains it would be helpful. I'm sure there is one. I will look.
for an answer to the OP i found this on rootzwiki....dunno if ok to post link but ima do it anyways...remove if frowned upon:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13277-cm7-fixes-for-sdcard-issues/
to fix my sdcard issues i AMCEUninstalled android and did a clean install of the latest moboot, gapps, clockworkmod, and cm9 A2. As for fixing the sdcard issue it also fixed alot of other things....no more Google maps constantly opening and wat not....much more stable.

Use ClockworkMod to wipe data/factory reset

[Q] How do i flash a custom rom?

I have been searching around and can't find out how exactly I should go about flashing a custom ROM on the Hero. Yes, before anyone says it, I am a noob at this, and this will be my first time flashing a ROM(if i could ever figure it out). I have the latest stable version of CyanogenMod 7, which i believe is 7.1.0, and the GApps package to go along with it. Both are on the root of my SD card. I rooted with Z4root, downloaded ROM Manager, and chose the setting to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery. Should I flash using ROM Manager, or should I boot into CWM Recovery and flash from there? If possible, does anyone have a video that could help me along with this? The video posted in the video thread for this device is down. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery and flash from there.
BTW, I'm running the latest release candidate for 7.2. Works perfectly for me.
I ended up finding a video on how to flash through CWM. I also later downloaded one of the CM 7.2 RCs, believe RC2. Now my next question is, do I need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache if I update to a newer version of CM, like a newer RC of 7.2 or one of the early beta versions of CM9?

Wipe cache etc. when flashing a later version of CM7 over an earlier version. Do a wipe data/factory reset when flashing CM7 over CM9.
It has always been a safe route whenever you flash a new rom to just wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik.
Yes.

[Q] cm10.1 Nightlies not booting, kinda

I'm want get the current cm10.1 nightlies to run on my n7000. I'm using cm-10.1-20130511-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip with 20130301 gapps package but the furthest I can get is the welcome screen. Selecting my language will freeze the phone. I've tried re-installing wipe cache, wipe data etc.. even retried to whole install a few times but nothing works. Any ideas? Sucks cos I just finished a mod on my p7510 to display now playing in status bar and want to port it over.
that is an unclean install,
on cm kernel on its recovery format system, data,preload cache an dalvik and reinstall. also make sure you have latest gapps for that version

Heres what I'm doing:
Flash abyss kernell (I have emmc bug and have had to recover from it twice now),
factory reset,
Flash cm10.1 in order to install kernel and recovery a reboot recovery,
Now in cyanogen mod recovery:
wipe cache,
wipe dalvik cache,
wipe system
wipe date,
wipe preload,
re-install cm10.1
install gapps 20130301 (the latest gapps)
what can be going wrong?
thats pretty thorought. I would recommend not abys but cm kernel instead.
tried it with both
Then I dont know. What gapps version are you flashing?
I havent read it being an issue with latest cm, maybe bad download? md5 matches download?
Also try on stock gb rom (for your phones csc), if none of above, if with emmc brick check app some sectors are damaged. Thats what I would do. If damaged, or still weird lags check warranty.
Using the 201301 gapps from goo.im. Downloaded a few times now same issue, its probably my phone as partitions are a little strange from emmc recovery.

Did you do a clean flash or did you install via CM Updater?
Try backing up your Apps with TitaniumBackup, wipe system, data, dalvik cache and cache in Recovery (CWM 3.0.6.4 for Kit Kat, I think) and flash Nightly + gapps.

Installed via CM Updater. I have used this for CM 10.2 and all versions of CM 11 up until current nightly without bootloop problem.

Honestly, I am not using the Nightlies, so I can not report anything similar happening to me - it must be a problem with the latest build.
A bootloop usually means that the Kernel wasn´t flashed correctly. Just try directly in CWM and report if it worked out.
EDIT: Just found this thread that reports the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658262
both 0222 and 0221 seem to bootloop. 0220 works however.

Yes that has been my experience; I hope future builds are fixed
Seems to be fixed with nightly from 2-25

[Q] Flash nighlies without wipe data?

I'm running Albino's CM11 build from 03/04 and I was wondering:
Can I flash nightly without wipe data (Maybe cache and Dalvik)
Can I jump updates and Go directly to today's one or need to flash one by one?
Thanks

If you are updating from the same rom base then yes you can just wipe cache and dalvik, however issues that are reported will not be observed because you did not do the full wipe data. It is always recommended (but not mandatory) to wipe /data
