Over the years many people have written guides for installing custom ROM's, and most of then have different steps. I understand certain devices, and custom ROM's need specific install steps. I'm looking for a general consensus on what is currently the best steps and/or order when installing a new custom ROM. Here a few sets of steps that Ive found online. Please let me know which one you think is the best set of instructions for most people.

EXTRA NOTES/TIPS found online:
Depending on your situation (see below), you may also need to wipe your data and/or cache. So when should you wipe your data and cache? Here are a few general guidelines:
-If you're flashing a ROM different than the one you're currently running, you should wipe data and cache. Essentially, this performs a factory reset on your phone, and you will lose all your data.
-If you're flashing a new version of a ROM you're already running, we recommend wiping your data and cache—but you should be able to get away with just wiping the cache, meaning you get to keep all your apps and settings.

Can someone give me FULL instructions for flashing this coming from Miui AOSP, without Odin? From flashing the Rom to installing the google apps (dont know how to)... I havent flashed a WHILE. Thanks guys
im assuming you have rom manager installed for this and the rom you want installed (trigger redux) is at the root of your micro sd .... once you have those done follow the steps
1. in rom manager hit flash clockworkmod recovery then pick vibrantmtd then pick 3.x.x because we are on gingerbread
2. hit install rom from sd card and find the rom's zip folder and select it afterwords something else will pop up with 3 0ptions, put a check on all 3 (backup rom, wipe data and cache and dalvik cache) then hit install
BY SELECTING WIPE DATA AND CACHE YOUR APPS AND STUFF WILL BE GONE WHEN THE NEW ROM BOOTS UP SO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS BACKED UP
IF WIPE DATA AND CACHE IS NOT SELECTED THERE IS ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO use ODIN!!

this link has an app that backs up all your apps to your sd card or you can use titanium back up to back up everything
I went from Muiu to redux and what I did is this: (might be overkill but its what I did and everything worked great)
1. Reboot into recovery
2. clear data/factor reset
3. mounts and storage > format system, format data, format cache
4. install zip from sd card > trigger redux
5. install zip from sd card > gapps
6. advanced > wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions
7. reboot
8. let rom boot up and sit for 10 mins and reboot
9. enjoy
That is the correct way ...Guy above ...

Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

Thanks for your help guys, viperROM is installed and running.
Hi,
I'm trying to install Galaxy Task ROM. It says:
"1) Put Galaxy Task ROM on your Tablet
2) Backup all the apps you want to keep with Titanium Backup
3) Make a Nandroid Backup in CWM
4) Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache (In Advanced), & Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Choose install zip"
Having a Galaxy Tab you all know that there's no SD card slot. So how does one install from a ZIP after data has been wiped? Because surely the wipe before installing from ZIP takes the ZIP file off the tab? It's not a question just for Galaxy Task, I know it's a bit noobish, I must be doing something wrong.
Wiping data does not delete anything from the internal "sdcard" storage.
I hope you have CWM and don't plan to install this with stock, It sounds as if you are trying to install this with stock, or else you would have known that there are 2 options in CWM "Wipe data factory reset" and "Wipe data factory reset + internal" the internal speaks for itself

What do you mean by "Stock"?
The tablet comes with a stock recovery, a very blandish black and neon blue with only 2 options, install zip or factory reset. You'd know the difference

Install instructions are correct. That are the steps you normally should do.
Baseband I dont know but I personally wouldn't care about 72 or 77. Both should work with cm9.

Hi guys, I wonder can anyone help. I done a backup using Clorkwork Mod before I flashed a new ROM onto my phone. Now when i am trying to restore the backup onto the phone using CWM it completes the task but whenever I reboot the phone it gets passed the first samsung screen but hangs at the second SAMSUNG screen where the text is pulsing.
I have tried Wipe / Data factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvick and fix permissions. None of these seem to make any difference. The only thing that has worked in flashing a new ROM but I do not want to lose any of my apps /configs.
Any suggestions guys would be much appreciated.
try
first remove battery and wait 30 sec...
insert battery goro cwm wipe data cache
takeout battery .wait 30 sec and gito cwm and follow this step
Step 1: Go Advanced > Wipe > dalvik cache
before heading to Mounts & Storage > Wipe /
cache
Step 2: Reboot your device, and the boot loop
should be gone. If not, repeat the steps up until
Step 1, where you’ll want to go to Mounts &
Storage > Wipe /data > Wipe /cache before
rebooting.
