I was one who hated doing a factory reset and reinstalling everything. I dirty flashed Codename Android 3.32 over my old ICS and everything seemed fine. If I tried to update to 3.3.4 I had problems and the only way everything was cleaned up was by a wipe and reset. I follow the following rules and had everything going again in 15minutes after following a link on android forums "Full wipe. What's the big deal? Steps to take (15 mins)" since I can't post the link just follow the search.
Without the link this thread is pretty pointless.

Ok well flashing codename over stock ics is pretty silly in itself first of all.
I don't know why we get so many threads on wiping. It's pretty simple:
If you are flashing nightlies, USUALLY you can just wipe cache and dalvik and be ok. If you DO get problems then you should do a full wipe (system,data,boot and cache). This way you dont post about bugs you think the rom has, where it is actually bugs from dirty flashing.
When flashing different ROM's, you need to full wipe. Always.
With titanium you can backup your apps, so restoring apps take literally a few minutes.
if you get a cluster f*#@ of problems then clean install. It isn't that hard. Use Titanium Backup and good to go.
In Recovery:
1. wipe data/factory reset (this formats /data, /cache and .android_secure on sd)
2. format /system, /boot
this leaves you with only bootloader, recovery and radio...dalvik-cache resides on /data, so it's gone already.
3. flash rom
4. gapps & custom-kernel (if needed). No need to let the phone boot & settle before flashing them (most custom-kernels have a script that automatically wipes /cache & dalvik during kernel-install)
5. reboot
6. Run TB -- restore missing apps with data --1st option under restore
just updating rom:
1. flash rom-zip
2. wipe /cache and dalvik-cache
3. reboot
Do this before reporting any issues on the thread since the problems are often related to this and not the ROM or kernel.

I've flashed a few roms now (masters stock rooted voodoo versions of nexus s firmware) and every time I do the boot logo just keeps on going until I do a battery pull and reboot, and then it's ok.
It's not a problem, I just wondered why this happens??
did you wipe dalvik, factory settings, cache?
did you change the kernel?

No. These roms don't wipe anything and I don't want to lose my stuff. I don't think you are meant to wipe with them either.

I was asking if YOU did wipe them because if you're going from one ROM to the other ROM you are supposed to wipe.
You lose your settings and apps. Back them up using Titanium Backup (Or any other related app).
Or.. better yet, just perform a nandroid backup. After that, wipe those 3 and reboot. See if the problem is resolved, if it is then you already know. If not then nandroid restore.
If you're going from one ROM to a completely different ROM made by someone else, you have to wipe data/factory settings!
If you're flashing an updated version of the current rom you're using, wipe cache/dalvik-cache.
If you're flashing different roms every other day, go buy Titanium Backup to backup your apps/settings.
And uh what ROM are u flashing where "you're not meant to wipe"

I am new to this so I'm still getting my head around it.
From stock I went to the rooted voodoo version of this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971690.
From there I went to the stock rooted version of this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979851
In both cases it says:
Rom Information:
Does it wipe: No
Does it flash the radio: Yes
So since they don't wipe, I assumed I shouldn't wipe anything, but it looks like I was wrong. From your post it looks like I should have wiped the cache and dalvik cache. I know how to do this in CW but I've never done it and my roms are working fine.
So next time master releases an update I gather I should wipe cache and dalvik cache yeah?
Also, when I do this will it remove any of my settings or apps?
Hope you can answer these questions, and thanks for advice so far.
<<edit>>
Just did a bit of googling and it looks like you don't lose settings when you wipe dalvik cache and cache, so what does actually get removed.
There is a thread stickied in development called ref roms themes and kernels. It gives step by step directions on how to flash all three including what should be wiped. Check it out

because its saying that the ROM doesn't wipe. Some ROMs are built in a way so that it automatically wipes your phone to ensure best performance. The creator is just saying that it doesn't do that BUT you need to wipe. The keyword does and need are two different things. The basic concept between going from 1 ROM to another (unless its the same ROM series) requires a wipe in all three: dalvik, cache, factory. If you're going from the same ROM to a newer version and encounter bugs, its best if you wipe.
I'm a more advanced user when it comes to Android since the first Android phone. I know what I'm talking about. When you go from stock ROM to another, its going to have bugs if you don't wipe.
If you're using Axura 1.1.1.0 and its fine, and he releases a new version. You can flash without wiping (but you can wipe cache & dalvik to be safe; none of your settings will be wiped). Wiping factory settings is the only one that will wipe your settings / apps.
If you're going to be a flasher, its best if you purchase Titanium Backup Pro (or MyBackup.. but I highly recommend Titanium Backup). Use this program and it will save all of your apps + settings to them. Just don't use it to save SYSTEM apps/files because it will cause FCs.
Dalvik Cache / Cache.. its nothing you need to know in particular. It's just removing cache that your phone set up to increase speeds. It just wipes them and gets the Android system to re-establish them. So no caches from the previous ROM will carry over onto the new one.

That is a very helpful post and clears a lot up. Many thanks. Looks like I had better do it again and do it right this time.
I've got titanium backup. Bought it after I rooted, but never restored with it yet. Also, thanks for the info about no saving system files with it, as I currently do have it setup to backup all user apps and system data, so I will have to change that. I gather I should just change it to all user apps??

Backup all user apps is the one you want to do. You can backup bookmarks using Google sync or a app known as BookmarkSB
If you have system apps backed up, delete all backups using batch and reapply user app backup

Thanks for your help. I reflashed the rom and I did it properly this time. Had a bit of a problem with TB restore as I'm a noob but Joel from TB answered an email I sent him very quickly and I got it sorted (thanks joel).
How long does it take to flash a rom once you get good at it? Took me a while tonight because of mistakes.

I can usually get from booting into recovery to having a usable device with most everything set up in about...10 minutes? Assuming I already downloaded the ROM lol sometimes those mirrors are slooooooow.
I’m using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 (on an LG Optimus T). I’m experimenting with different ICS ROMs. From reading various posts on this wonderful forum, I’m fairly sure one should always wipe the cache and Dalvik Cache when moving to a newer release of a ROM or to a completely different ROM. Is that correct? And, if one is going to a completely different ROM altogether (even if the old and new are both ICS) then one should also wipe data/factory reset?
Does that make sense? If so, is the reason one doesn’t wipe data/factory reset when going to a newer release of the current ROM because then that data is carried over to the new ROM and it saves time in terms of reconfiguring settings...?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave
a wipe is always suggested when installing newer version of rom or totally different flavor to avoid data errors or mismatches in settings depending on the degree of change from previous release. i guess most have been able to manage to retain same data and not do a total wipe out to factory because of customizations which is very annoying to do all over again.
if you want to experience the full potential of a certain rom, i suggest to do a full wipe.
note: i have been able to switch from CM7 to CM9 and back with only dalvick, cache, and battery stats wipes. although, i get to reinstall a few apps like Titanium due to FCs.
New release of same rom : Wipe cache and dalvik cache. (If any errors arise with the apps later you should do a full wipe)
Different rom : Wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache. Sometimes it is recommended to wipe /system too.
Thanks for the responses. Sincerely appreciated. So, if I'm trying a different ROM, I need to do the factory reset, cache and Dalvik Cache wipes - and if just going to a newer version of a ROM, I can skip the factory reset - and go back and do the factory reset if problems arise with any apps. If I do experience issues with my apps, does that mean I just have to do a factory reset - or do I need to reinstall the ROM first and then do the factory reset...?
I presume the benefit of not doing the factory reset is that there is then no need to reinstall apps, fix settings...
When you say "Sometimes it is recommended to wipe /system too", which option is that in CWM or do I have to do that from my PC...?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
Dave
If you get FCs with some apps while going to a new version of the ROM(without a /data wipe), try clearing the data of that app alone. That might help.
To wipe system, you can use the zip attached. It was provided with some ROM when there was an error in formatting /system automatically before the new rom installation. Just flash it like any other zip and it will format your /system.
You can use Titanium Backup to backup/restore your applications. Just be carefull with system apps, restoring data from different roms can cause fc.

This script has two problems in my opinion:
1.AFAIK this type of script format(amend) is not supported by cwm now.
2.When editing with n++ it shows CR LF at end of each line......
and "carriage return" line code is used in windows while unix uses LF (line feed) for it's text.....so there should be LF only.....i think

I did so using the following:

Now, everything is working fine except for one tiny little thing.
It reboots randomly.
Any ideas?

I didn't factory reset it before installing it. Do you reckon I should factory reset and reinstall?
this is what the dev recommends for his ROM, not me (of course, if the ROM you are using is the same I referred to)
a) it would help if the ROM is not buggy itself
b) if to ask me? I wipe all partitions except SD card, and it works for me (factory reset is precaution)
p.s.also be sure to have the same firmware the dev is recommending.

there are several partitions you can format manually - system, dalvik, cache

I'm using clockworkmod, yes.
So, from the same thread -
General rule of thumb before flashing:
- Unless specified, you don't need to Superwipe.
- However, before flashing, boot to recovery - wipe cache. Advanced - wipe dalvik. Now flash the new NRGZ Rom.
- Problems? Goto Settings - applications - HTC Sense - Wipe Data
- Still problems? Superwipe, as explained in FAQ 10.

Q10: I was on stock (or another rom from another cook) and I flashed NRGZ ROM, now I am having some problems.
A:
1. Try rebooting the Phone and see if it makes a difference.
2. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik, reboot the phone and clear data of the apps causing problem.
3. If nothing else works, “SUPERWIPE”. Beware: A superwipe/ full wipe will erase EVERYTHING on the phone. EVERYTHING! So, be sure to backup what you want.

The re-installation is complete. Now we play the waiting game and see if it's shutting down.
Well it's been about an hour now and it has not shut down yet.
Seems like it worked!
Okay, now this is just ****ing weird. It didn't restart itself in like forever. And then when I went to bed it instantly restarted itself.
Now, I've restored the phone 3 or 4 times(I've had several restore points). But it's still restarting randomly.
I'm just really confused right now.
At this moment my phone is not currently on any new ROM.
I have now reinstalled my phone with ics. It's been running now for 12 hours without restarting. So I'm guessing It's fixed.
Just make sure you wipe everything before flashing

A dirty flash should be fine since many aosp roms have an updater script. I never wipe whenever I'm coming from a previous build of the same rom. just follow the instructions for advance users. If you run into any problems then follow instructions for most users.
i would go with the " For Most Users " option as most users would be coming from build 2 or build 2.5 .. i also would recommend a full wipe , even though its not required i have found to have the best experience & fastest speed on my device by backing up and doing a full wipe so as to have a fresh install on the device.
I'd recommend a clean install because you don't want any problems after a dirty flash
Thanks for you replies !
By doing a full wipe I'll lose all my apps and their data. So if I use (my common way these days) Carbon for this, for "copying" apps and data, even if I did a full wipe, that's not a fresh and clean install at the end , isn't it ?

Just use free version of titanium backup so when u reinstall the apps the data will be put back.
Just make sure u backup the Google stuff before u wipe and flash.

Since you are already having some fc issues from restoring I would recommend
1) Factory reset
2) Go to Mounts and storage
3) Format system
4) Format data
5) Format cache
6) Flash ROM, flash G-apps(either for 4.2.2 is fine)
7) Wipe dalvic
8) Reboot
Once you have done this either let playstore re-install apps, or install manually. Do NOT restore data
