Rooted p-5100 10 inch tab2 and flashed cm9 and love it but now need to try cm10
1-how to transfere from cm9 to cm10 ?
2-we need to flash cwm 6.01.0 right?
3-we flash cwm via oden or cwm 5?
4-we need to flash a different version of gapps right ?
5-do we need factory reset and cashes erase if transfere from cm9 to cm10?
Mohamed Selim

while flashing the latest cwm(from a zip is fine) and factory restoring before changing to a different major version is recommended, it isn't always necessary.
for me going from cm9 to cm10 it was no problem to stay on an older recovery, and keeping my data.
but if you experience problems after updating it's best to do a factory restore, and it never hurts to have a more recent recovery.
as you mentioned you do need JB google apps.
and while wiping cache is often recommended after flashing a new rom, it's usually not necessary unless you experience problems.
if you choose to keep your data and cache you shouldn't expect support from developers here though.

Going from CM9 to stock ?

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.

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....

Boot Loop Issues

Okay...So I'm having boot loop issues ever since I tried to flash Vincom's Superlite rom. Before attempting to switch to a different rom I had a a older version of CWM, not sure what it was....But I was under the impression I needed CWM touch to be able to use the Superlite rom. So I flashed sk8's CWM touch using a older CWM...With touch, I flashed the Dark Side Super Wipe 3x's and also did the wiped dalvek 3x's.....After all the wiping I flashed the superlite rom....my previous rom was CM10, by the way.....i got stuck in bootloop so I tried the darkside-wipe-cache, because that solved all my bootloop issues with the CM 9 and CM 10.......I tried to revert back to CM 10 via flash and got stuck in a boot loop....I tried multiple times to reflash and wipe with both superlite and CM 10...I couldnt get anything...So I gave up and flashed to stock firmware UCL6 via CWM Touch.....My phone is functional I just dont want this stock "rom"...I want to be able to use CM 10 again because the t-mobile radios dont work with the stock....Im thinking its the CWM....I tried using different kernels as well...and i still get a boot loop......

Bump? Anybody?
Manually do the following wipes: wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format/data, format/system, format/cache all x3. Then reflash his ROM followed by gapps. Let it sit for 10 min as caches need time to settle and the initial boot always takes much longer.
Which version of cwm touch are you on?

Success!!! Everything works...Thank you so much....just one more question....what is the proper way of reflashing a radio? Do I have to format system and reflash the rom everytime I want to try a different radio?

Nope. Just wipe dalvik and cache and flash it. But it's likely to be an exercise in folly anyway, because it you have uclf5 and you flash uclf6, you still have the uclf5 libs. Changing the radio libs is a much more complicated procedure and without doing so you get limited benefit from flashing a new radio. But sometimes it does help anyway. Might be worth a try if you're getting poor connectivity.

No need to do a whole clean install simply to switch out the radio. I 95% positive you only need to wipe cache, dalvik, flash radio and reboot. I only changed radio once and it was during a clean install so I never really paid that close attention to the steps when you put it over the top of your ROM. Do what I said and you should be fine.
Or grab the torch and pitchfork. Jk there's nothing to worry about

Hey Mike,
I've been bootlooping as well. A little background...
I'm on CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 _sk8erwitskil_
I was on cm-10-20120812-EXPERIMENTAL-syyrocket-alpha3
Yesterday, I went to cm-10-20120912-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket
I was ok until just a little bit ago I was on a call and the phone rebooted. Since then, bootloop-city.
I tried this procedure, reflashed 0912 and no joy. I think, at this point, the unreliability of CM10 (at this time) has worn thin (no dis to all the awesome developers out there) and I just want to go back to a stable CM9.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob
EDIT: Ya know, just when you think all is lost, there is Nandroid! I'm back to CM9 and no longer bootlooping!

Updating Cyanogenmod

I was wondering how I could update my cyanogenmod 10.1 build 16 to 17 without wiping my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated
AW: Updating Cyanogenmod
You could try only wiping cache and Dalvik cache, that mostly works
ok will that delete all of my apps? and then do i just flash the new build to my phone?
AW: Updating Cyanogenmod
No, your apps and settings will all still be there. Yes, afterwards flash the new version as normal and don't forget to flash the new boot.img if you're s-on.
ok i will do thanks for the help
But do not complain about problems, it isn't called dirty flash for no reason...
A clean full wipe flash is always safer if you want to avoid problems, especially when there are new minor Android releases or greater CM changes

Re-flashing CyanogenMod/ClockworkMod?

Hello,
I flashed one of the CM 10.1 that I found on CM website, and then I flashed GAPPS, but the version I downloaded has some bugs, so I want to choose a different CM version, but I don't know how to. I mean, what will happen with GAPPS? Do I need to follow same procedure as for installing CM for the first time i.e flashing CM, and then flashing GAPPS again?
Also, I have non-touch CWM recovery and I downloaded the touch version from CWM website, but I'm not sure how to do it, is it done with regular Odin via PC , or with something called "Mobile Odin"?
If you want to flash a newer nightly, you can either perform a clean flash or dirty flash. Clean flashing means you wile your data and flash cm along with Google apps again and start fresh. Dirty flashing means you just wipe your cache and dalvik cache and flash cm on top of the old cm which allows you to keep your data. Research both and decide what you prefer.
As for cwm, simply flash the new touch version in cwm and it'll overwrite the old cwm nontouch.

Thanks, I have last question regarding flashing new rom:
I flashed CM, but then I separately flashed GAPPS, so I dont know if GAPPS will be removed when installing new rom, or do I need to manually remove GAPPS before flashing new rom?
I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask :silly:
If you're dirty flashing, you don't need to reflash Google apps. However, if you're clean flashing then you are wiping everything so you'll need to reflash Google apps.
You don't need to remove it or anything before flashing the new rom. If you feel more comfortable flashing it, you can because it'll just overwrite your old Google apps.

[Q] TWRP 2.6.6 on Carbon unable to flash Synergy

Title kind of tells the story trying to flash to Synergy-yes md5 passed on the download.I wiped everything twice and then cache and davlik seperately and launched TWRP and when I try to install it just hangs and then eventually prompts me to close the app.
Do I need to flash back to stock and then install a custom ROM?I wipe everything but remain on Carbon of course.
For those running Synergy what recovery were you using-any issues with TWRP.What process worked for you?
Luckily my restore back to Carbon worked no problem.
Thanks
I wipe system internal storage data a the caches. You may also want to try cwm as it might work better. Make sure your download for synergy is for the vzw one.
