Hi !
I have installed on my xoom wifi MZ604 Team EOS ICS ROM.
How to update the ROM?
I mean: How to update the nightly build?
My is Eos-wingray-47 build and i want to update to 48.
I need to flash it as a normal ROM?
And what about the G-APPS? Just flashing it?
no need to wipe? thanks
Wipe the cache and Dalvik Cache. Flash the new nightly build and then flas the Gapps. Do not reboot between flashing the nightly and Gapps.
That's how I have done it for every build since they got the camera working and not had a problem.
So I have to wipe?
No you don't need to wipe data, just the cache and Dalvik Cache (it's recommended that you do this to make sure old cache information won't cause issue with updated info).
OK...
And when flashing the G-APPS i dont need to wipe,right?
just cache?

No need to wipe anything when updating Gapps if you flash Gapps immediately after you flash the Eos Nightly.
It depends if you are changing versions of Gapps. If you are just reflashing Gapps after flashing each nightly then no. If you are flashing a different version of Gapps it depends. You need to look at the release notes for that version. If you were running version 9.x and upgrading to a 10.x version a full wipe was needed. Incremental 10.x upgrades, say from 10.1 to 10.2, did not need a full wipe.
The biggest thing that I have seen cause problems is that people are rebooting between flashing the nightly and Gapps. This is what I recommend.
-reboot into recovery
-perform a backup
-wipe the caches
-flash the new nightly
-flash Gapps
-reboot
I always perform the backup. Yes it takes some time, but when something goes wrong you always have the ability to revert back to a good working state. Well worth the few minutes it takes to have that peace of mind.

When upgrading a ROM with only few changes is this the correct procedure? Install the new ROM wipe cache/dalvik without data and you have apps and settings and everything?
Almost.
Wipe Dalvik and Cache FIRST
THEN overlay the new ROM update.
Always make a nandroid backup first just in case anything goes screwy, especially when you are dealing with CM nightlies. Every once in a while one will have an update that breaks a bunch of stuff. You don't want to be stuck with a broken ROM.
Hello Everyone,
I've just tried to install the slim ics rom.
I've a Nexus S with a version of 2.3.1 android with modaco rom, and i want to "upgrade" my phone to 4.0.4 with slim ics rom.
In the rom site, i saw that i need to "download latest cm9 nightly or any ICS kernel (odin or cmw flashable)", and then: "Enter CWM Recovery, Wipe data, Format System ( In Mounts and Storage)".
I didn't get it - I don't know what to do - to wipe the date (please explain me how to do it), and then install all the cm9 nightly rom which weighs 128mb, and after that the rom?
Thanks,
Or.

Don't worry about the cm9 rom procedure, here's what to do. I have attached a wipe all zip which is flashable in cwm recovery. Some of this is a bit of overkill, but it will get the job done.
Go to cwm recovery ... wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Return to main menu and install zip from sdcard, select zip, and flash the wipe all zip which is attached. Now flash Slim 4.2 and then flash the common zip. Reboot and you're done.

So don't I need to install cm9?
I only need to wipe as you said and then install the slim ics 4.2?
Thanks!!
Edit:
Never mind, thank you!!
I've just installed the Slim Beans (4.1.2), and it works excellent!
I'd a problem after installing cm10 and then slim beans - the google keyboard crashed, so I didn't have any keyboard. I repaired by wiping the data and cache.
Thanks, it works very good!
If I would like to update to latest nightly of CM12.1 do I have clean wipe or simply flash the latest zip?

i can only answer this surely if you tell us which rom/ version you currently using .... but if you allready on CM12.1 update this way:
(dirty install):
backup current rom (in case of problems)
in recovery install the new update
wipe cache + dalvic-cache
now, if you get any issues or FC's etc... you will need a clean install (fatcory reset / data wipe)
remeber this rom is still under development so sometimes a clean install in fact is needed...
So I am being cautious here.
They mention this:
you will need to flash a latest cm12 nightly before flashing this build AFTER my RR 5.3.0 builds to avoid reboots and bootloops!
I have no idea what this means. Is this valid for in my case? I am currently running stock (just got my One this week).
Thanks!
It's instructing you to flash the nightly so that you're on the right firmware (it's included in the CM nightly). So you'd do this:
1. Download the nightly to your phone.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery and perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) from the advanced wipe menu.
3. Install the nightly with the install menu.
4. Boot the phone up once.
5. Boot back into TWRP and perform another full wipe.
6. Install your chosen ROM (plus gapps).
7. Reboot into your new ROM and enjoy.
Before you do any of this I'd suggest you make a nandroid backup with TWRP, and also backup your EFS if you haven't done so already. You'll probably benefit from looking at my guide here:

Thanks so much!!!
I'm trying to flash the latest /bacon nightly zip file on top of the stable cm12.1 with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and I'm getting an error that said cannot install this and advice me to do a factory reset instead. What do I do wrong?

What exactly are you trying to flash over the top of? When you say stable do you mean the stock ROM (Cyanogen OS 12.1)? If so, you can't do that, they're different ROMs. When going from the stock ROM to a nightly (or vice versa) you need to wipe properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) first.
