guys,
I have a noob question. I'm running codename 3.5.0 on my rooted SNS. Codename 3.6.0 was just released last night. Do I have to wipe data and partition in CWM recovery in order to update to the latest Codename release 3.6.0 ? Also any feedback on the stability of this build ?

No.
Just wipe cache and dalvic (if you wanna update the rom and keep your data) then install 3.6

Personally, I've tried wiping and not wiping (between 3.3.x to 3.4.1). A full wipe was generally more stable in my case. Phone was having a lot of crashes with the dirty install.
If you can, just backup all your app data and do a full wipe. It should cause less troubles that way. Otherwise, do a dalvik and cache wipe if you don't want to go through the trouble.
Thanks ! The steps mentioned above, generally worked. Installed the ROM followed by wiping cache partition and Dalvik cache
But after update to 3.6.0 my gapps stopped working. Gmail, play store etc would crash on loading. Had to re-install gapps using CWM in order to fix the the problem. Everything seems to be working OK for now.

Hi,
I can't post to the Android Revolution HD Dev forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
because I don't have the minimum posts required
Anyway, last week I updated the stock rom with the 3.6.3 Revolution HD.
I did the recommended procedure with the Super Wipe script, etc.
Everything worked very good and the 3.6.3 was stable. Few days ago 3.6.4 was released I flashed it but without super wipe since in the notes was written that if the update is done from 3.6.X version, no super wipe is needed. The update went OK but 3.6.4 wasn't so stable. My Sensation started rebooting occasionally. After I flashed back the 3.6.3 version (no super wipe again) everything is back to normal - the phone is stable, no rebooting.
Have I missed anything or there is a bug in 3.6.4?
Can someone answer or re-post this to the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 forum?
Thanks a lot!
I've used that rom before with no issues so far... doing exactly what you did... no super wipe if upgrading... sounds like might be a bad download or something went wrong in the flashing...

Hi,
There are no bugs in the ROM,but there are kernel issues.
You could upgrade the stock 3.6.4 kernel to THIS ONE
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.
Wipe cache partition and dalvik.
Kernels are flashed in recovery like a ROM.

Hi! Sorry for the noob question but I'm here to learn.
I recently rooted and flashed my HTC Sensation with this rom using clockwork:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494373
Now I'm wondering if I can just update it when new releases are available or do I have to wipe it all and do a clean install? Don't want to loose settings and everything.
clean install
i think you should clean install
re:Update or clean install?
its always recommended that u do a full wipe prior to any upgrade unless the developer states its ok to update without full wipe

Usually when new releases of roms are available and you're running a previous version of that rom, you are able to update. Clean installs are recommended though, but since you don't want to lose data, you could follow these steps:
- Make a nandroid backup
- format all partitions
- flash the rom
- advance restore the data (from your previous nandroid)
- clear dalvik cache and reboot
N.B. Only do this if the rom was an update to your previous rom.

It´s better to do a clean install.
If you have the latest paid version of Titanium Backup, you can pull all of your apps and data from the nandroid.

If it is updating from same rom to newer version, just wipe catch, dalvik, and battery stats and you'll be fine.

Battery stats doesn't need to be wiped (even if it is a different rom). A user should only wipe it if they are having issues with the battery. Also, the system may need to be wiped for a "cleaner" replacement of updated files.
Hi, I installed Jellytime R20.0 and see now that R22.0 is released.. So I wondering, how can I update my current Jellytime Rom with the Jellytime R22.0 without reflashing, or do I have to perform full wipe and flash then restore data?
Thanks

Is a full wipe needed?
YES , If its first time you are flashing the ROM
NO, it is not required, but it is strongly recommended. If you choose to do a "dirty" flash, please do NOT post bug reports or issues you are having, as something from an earlier release might be causing the issue.

"My phone is unlocked and S-On" --> Means you will have to flash kernel via fastboot maually after each rom installation. Kernels using "anykernel" install method aren't supported when you're s-on.

My device - HTC Sensation xe (Unlocked and S-ON)
Rom - Sultan CM11 Pyramid
Problems - none. Actually the best Rom I'm using so far, planning to update to the latest version though
You guys didn't flash "Sultan-Kernel-Pure-v1.4.0-Aroma.zip"
I did a full-wipe using 4ext recovery and then flashed the ROM, then I flashed the Kernel before rebooting and lastly flashed the GAPPS in recovery.
You missed that step. You should have flashed the GAPPS after flashing ROM and Kernel
Try that and let us know how it goes
TWRP
Sometimes when i flash a rom, in the end it could just be the rom build itself or just a seriously bad dirty flash tbh
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...
