Usually Wipe Data is recommended. You can update without wiping data though, but sometimes it gives boot loop.

Wipe data is not required if you are updating from the same version of Cyanogen mod to a latest version build.It wont give you a boot loop.I tried it on my xperia tipo.

Did you flash proper kernel and make correct choices for your phone?
if your device is stuck on the boot screen, you probably forgot to format the system before doing the other wipes and install the ROM :x

I don't think you have to format the system. Generally All Roms are packed with updater-script which directs the cwm to format the system prior flashing.
hit thanks if I've helped!

Instead of choosing full wipe in Aroma, do factory reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik Cache in CWM (recovery mod)and then install ROM.

I know, but i have this problem when I was flashing the Pureness ROM
if you already have a backup of your old ROM, format the system will not be a problem

You didn't wipe cashe + dalvik cash right??? Try to re install the rom, but first wipe your cashe and dalvik cashe, then install the ROM, if you still have the same issue try a factory reset, but make a nandroid backup, and back up yur apps with titanium backup!!!!!!!!

My friend,I would like to know the proper steps for this installation.
As mentioned on the Avatar Rom forum page,I installed it right in the same way.I would like to know whether this rom requires any prerequisites like:some roms can be installed only if we are on STOCK Gingerbread(rooted and locked/unlocked) or on STOCK ICS(rooted and locked/unlocked) .Or do i need to install some other version of Cyanogenmod and then boot into recovery(cwm) and install?
You mentioned about flashing kernel for the rom.I flashed the boot.img which is included in the zip.But i got the Freexperia boot animation,and not the avatar bootanimation.Please help in all the above issues i mentioned.And yes,before i forget i would like to tell you that i flashed this boot.img and i got thekernel installed successfully(I think so,because through this bootanimation,i was able to go to cwm).But i got the same errors when i tried to installed this rom.I know that you are more experianced memers,so what you are saying maybe true.But on AVATAR ROM Page,they did not tell to flash kernel.Please help.

hi! so when you install kernel (fxp,nAa,Mesa) it will show their boot animation and that is ok so you can use any of those and more, when you boot into recovery (this will delete all your stuff on internal memory)
-wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, then go to mounts and storage and wipe system, and then advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
-install your rom (if you dont have it on sd card go to mounts and storage and mount and mount usb storage)
-after you installed reboot system
and that should be it, but i went to avatar forum and it is only for mini? can you link it? And did you unlock bootloader?
i hope i helped you

GB- rage kernel - xgamer rom + andreno boost (mod) + setcpu make a profile for when the screen is off, set frequency to lowest on both (max freq and min freq.) for longest battery life (2.3.7)
ICS- panic kernel - ultimate hd rom (4.0.4)
JB - mesa kernel - havendroid rom dark demon edition rom (i'm using it for 3 weeks now) + Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru (4.2.2)
hi .am using xperia u,and have installed kernel phantom.while installing firebean i had a problem.1ly the boot animation is visible and not able to enter into the menu.pls give me some suggetions to over come this problem..
tnks..
did you wipe cache and dvalik and data before flashing?

Enter in to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot system, if it don't works then reflash the ROM.
If you are installing the ROM by flashing from CWM Recovery, wipe cache/dalvik before flashing.
If you are installing a custom ROM over another ROM might also cause this problem. so clear data also..

try flashing another custom kernel, and try to enter into recovery.. if you can enter clear cache, data, dalvik and try booting system.
If this doesn't works you might be doing something wrong. please re do the things which I told you in the previous post. It seems you are skipping some parts.
Flashing Stock FW for Xperia U must bring you out of this. Have you tried out finding the correct FirmWare for your device. I think the latest FW is based on jelly bean and build version is 6.2.A.x.xx....

Hi guys im an xperia s LT26i user and i have an unlocked bootloader. Im currently running cm11 rom by raymanfx. The last time i tried to flash 4.1.2 rom i did NOT wipe system and i ended up getting a bootloop and soft brick. So if i am running cm11 and if i want to downgrade to 4.1.2 do i need to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache? cache and dalvik is a must but if i wipe system and data will it work?
You should make a full wipe probably everytime you switch your ROM. So:
- factory reset
- wipe dalvik cache
- format system
So your entire system is clear and if this don't work flash latest Stock ROM first and then the ROM you'ld like to run on your phone

Ok so i formatted my whole phone with the suggestions you gave and when i flashed the existenz rom by niaboc79 which is the stock rom it says "E:Error executing updater binary" and "Error flashing zip" and im on TWRP Recovery mod version 2.6.3.0
Ok i fixed it i just had to flash doomlord kernel which gets me back to cwm then flashing again fixed the problem. Thanks alot for your help though it did help me at some stages.
