Can I just buy ROM Manager pro and let the nightlies automatically update, or do I have to flash via cwm? If I have to flash via cwm do I need to wipe data? I want to be able to go back and forth between roms as well and need to know the best process for doing that.
Do not use ROM manager, for anything. Seriously, it's bad news. Just download the nightlies and flash through recovery the regular way.
i use rom manager to download them, but then i boot into recovery myself and back-up then i flash the new rom. been doing it like this for awhile now with no problems.
You can flash though rom manager. Where you will get stuck is if you get into a situation where you can't boot your OS, you can only boot into cwm if you've flashed using the nvflash method.

Better not use Rom Manager. CWM Flash is very easy so there is no need to risk it.

Rom manager uses cwm. You can use rom manager just fine. You just need to have cwm properly flashed using the nvflash method in case you get stuck in a boot loop and need to get back into recovery using power+ volume down.

If I am changing nightlies do I need to do a full data/cache wipe?

No. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache then install the update and reboot.

You need to do a full wipe when you're switching between different roms, like from stock to CM7.

I have cm9 and want to go back to stock type roms.. less bugs..
anyway, how do I do this? I did a full wipe and restored hydro but the kernel stays on CM9 kernel.. and wifi wont turn on...
You need to flash the actual .30 zip from asus. That returns you to stock. Then do a custom recovery/root and THEN flash hydro.

Wow, that sucks..... thanks for the help tho. Think I'll just stick to cm9. I got it working well and its fast.
try hydro. Izs based on stock and is one of the fastest roms out there.

Which recovery do you have? Flash the latest twrp recovery and you can flash hydro without the need to return to stock. Simply download the newest base for hydro. You can also flash clean rom over cm9 without returning to stock. Make sure that you wipe cache, dalvic, factory data reset, and format system.

I'm on cwm. Still. Formatting system won't wipe everything off my internal memory will it? I have about 15 movies , and a bunch of snes games....
I had rooted my phone, and did use Jelly Blast for a while worked perfect. After a few days I tried installing mods through cwm which led to boot loops. I used odin and got stock ROM for my phone . Now when I tried installing Nemesis ROM, I followed all steps right but though it shows Nemesis boot picture, it still boots into the stock OS.

I have tried the following steps:
1. Odin stock rom: I just have pda,csc and modem. I do not have bootloader and pit.
2. Then went to Recovery and installed CWM
3. Installed custom rom JELLY Blast which previously had no issues. (Before this I wiped data,cache & dalvik)
4. Result - > Stuck on Samsung screen.
After which I cannot get back to any recovery mode anymore, it is stuck on samsung screen. All I have to do is go back to download mode and odin it again. But I really want to be back on custom roms

Hi,
This is not your phone issue alone but any phone can face this. To reproduce this issue, it takes more than what you have mentioned. But the solution comes through if you follow these steps just as listed by me here:
1. Get an older version of official Samsung Firmware (preferably 1 or 2 versions older than the latest one)
2. Flash this using ODIN (if flashing fails at any point via ODIN user an even older Stock Firmware version)
3. If you can boot into the Rom fine, reboot to its Stock Recovery
4. From Stock recover, start the CWM.zip that you have (version 5 or 6 whichever lets you load fine, does not matter at this point)
5. When inside CWM, go into Advanced and select "Fix Permissions"
6. Only after you have fixed permissions, go ahead and do the Wipes in the order below
7. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Wipe Data
8. Once this is done, load the custom ROM you want to install from this CWM session
9. After install, when you go for reboot, see if you get any option that says something like "prevent from flashing stock recovery" or so, say yes to it.
This should fix any permission issue that may be preventing you to get to your favorite ROM from stock ROM.
Let me know if this helps or if I can help you further.
Glad if this helped you in any way !

i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.
Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery
Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?
Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want

Thanks!! I will try, but apart from wipe system(rom) what more wipes can i try without erase the rom?..I think not, because a week ago the battery was perfect working...i hope so.
CACHE,
DALVIK CACHE,
FACTORY RESET,
INTERNAL STORAGE,
FORMAT DATA
Only other 2 options are SYSTEM & EXTERNAL STORAGE
Rooted with CWM as recovery. Shield Tablet has OTA update but obviously can't install with CWM. What is the simplest way to stay up to date and keep root?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using xda premium
Still looking for help with this. I have a basic understanding on how things work. Is this what I need to do?
Flash original recovery
Reboot then do the OTA update
Then refresh CWM
Will I lose root?

That's not the way to go at all.
Whenever there's an update, flash the incremental OTA file HERE.
Flashing the stock recovery will not allow taking OTA's.
thank you for the link, which command do I use to flash the incremental update looks like the instructions there are for a full update. thanks again

Um, just flash it in TWRP or CWM, only need to flash cache and dalvik cache, but that's optional.
Im also sorta nooby about this. The only thing I have ever done is flash Cyanogen Mod and install TWRP on my Galaxy Note 3. I have rooted my Shield and installed Uno TWRP out of the box. Thus its not on the latest update. Just to clarify so I don't f*ck up. I just download the latest OTA, copy to my sdcard and flash in TWRP? And that will just update it without having to lose all my apps etc?
EDIT: So incremental updates take from version x.x to version x.x? Oh, and is it true that root is wiped? Im happy to re-root everytime.

Yes that's true, just make sure you flash the incremental updates and not the full OTA's. And as far as root I'm not sure if you loose it, while in recovery might as well just flash SuperSU to be safe.

Ok thanks. One more question. How would I go about checking the rom version? Unless I'm missing it I can only see the Android version, which is 5.0.
EDIT: i'm getting some sort of error when trying to flash the zips. I downloaded (for wifi) 2.0 to 2.1, 2.1 to 2.2 and 2.2 to 2.2.1. Whenever I try to flash it just fails.

Yes, because you need to flash 2.2.1 full ota via custom recovery, and wipe cache dalvik. Then flash again your custom recovery. Then supersu.
If you are rooted with custom rec (twrp, cwm, Philz) you need to flash full ota.
Wouldn't the tablet be wiped then? And if this is the case everytime can't I just keep the stock recovery and sideboard a custom one?
Nope. You just flash on top, like a dirty flash. I use TWRP and Ive done it twice and still kept everything. The only wipe you need to do is cache & dalvik after flashing full OTA.
If you keep stock rec just for the fact of being rooted incremental OTAs wont work

I just flashed full OTA via CWM and lost root.
I had to re fastboot flash recovery and then sideload supersu to root.
It sounds like TWRP is holding root.

With twrp I do it literally after flashing full ota. I leave recovery to reboot to system right when Im done flashing everything.
