Hi guys.
I am using cm7.1 right now, and i have problem when i flash new cm 7.2
problem is, after i install zip of cm7.2 from sd, reboot, and then, it stuck at ANDROID words. i using cwm5. so, if i need to wipe after install rom,
what kind of wipe?
wipe data/ factory reset?
wipe cache partition?
wipe dalvik cache?
or all of them?
or anything that i miss?
tenkiu
Make only wipe data/ factory (it's include the wipe dalvik cache) and cache.

It's possible to get bootloop when changing rom's, but I have successfully upgrade form CM 7.1 to 7.2 without wipe.

I have a question. I want to switch from Megatron rom(2.2) to void.#forever(2.3.4)
Do i only have to flash the rom or do something before this?

FOrmat System and Wipe Data ofc xD
just to be safe, make a backup in recovery before you do anything. then, wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache. after you finish this, you can flash the rom
Im currently using ver1.0 Pro but cannot seem to download any other versions after that.
I tried even Infinitum Project, i cant seem to get it pass the start screen.(meaning before the boot animation). Similar when flashing RR ver1.1 onwards
I think i cannot go anywhere after android 4.0.4. I am only able to flash back to v1.0 (Android 4.0.3).
what could be the problem? help?
can u explain the process you followed for the installation of the other roms after 1.0?
oh sorry.
For the RR Pro 1.3
full wipe
installed rom
reboot.
Infinatium project,
Full wipe
installed rom
installed gapps
installed themed gapps
reboot.
I would usually just follow the instructions that are given.
sorry too I were configuring my cellphone, just flashed to the 1.3 and works fine...
sometimes my sd card give me problems and I remove from the device, maybe it's not your case...
and additional to the wipe, I wipe the dalvik cache, and then install the rom.
In the roms in wich I got troubles with the start screen or rebooting its because the baseband (LPQ in my case) and I'm serching foward about these thing...
sorry about my english, but its not my native languaje
can anyone please help.

Apart from asking the dev i suggest a full wipe and clean flash may cure the usual Kernel Panic .

sorry how do i do a clean flash?
when i installed v1.3, i would do a full wipe, (data, cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache)
but this time instead of pinic kernel, my phone wont even reach boot animation.

If you just relax for a minute , take a deep breath and start from the beginning. Listen to what people are telling you. Follow step by step from the beginning. Read what the developer says on flashing the rom and then it will work. Almost impossible not to get the rom working after that. It will all come together mate. Read a lot of posts. Good luck.

Full wipe flash ROM twice
Same issue as OP, proposed solution doesn't help
The flash twice method has never worked for me. But what will always work without fail is flashing 3.1, booting into it, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalv and flash the newest.

Do you wipe data,cache and dalvik before flashing?
Try to wipe data,cache and dalvik after you installed a Rom

Does it start normally after you wipe after you flashed?
I would try to flash stock 2.3.5 GB or 4.0.3 ICS with stock recovery and the flash cf root with odin.
Try this and then try flashing some roms
Hi,
I was using stock firmware up until yesterday I flashed to v5.2 successfully. Everything is working fine. But I just have a question, I remember that after the flash, and the phone rebooted and I connected to my wifi...the phone automatically started to download and install all the 4 apps that i had personnally installed on the stock firmware all by itself ..
I'm asking because I see that there a v6.0 available and would like to flash that. But before I flash, do I need to do the following wipes?
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
If so, do I need to do this for between EVERY Omega flashes to ensure it goes smoothly? Thanks

You should only have to wipe cache and dalvik then flash the ROM. You'll be fine, I also always format cache and system in the mount and storage part of Cwm recovery BEFORE flashing the ROM, never had an issue.

Is that considered a FULL wipe?

No, full wipe is when you delete all user data as well.

Ok I found the definitions of what a full wipe and no wipe is:
Full Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Data / Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Format System partition
- Install
No Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Install
Just a question, in the FULL WIPE listed above, where would I find "Format System Partition?" I don't recall seeing that..which category do I enter to do it?
CWM recovery mounts and storage format system .

Thanks, is there any harm if I do a full wipe EverytimeI upgrade an Omega ROM? I just want to stick to one way of things to minimize any issues.
