You can superwipe when going to an Sense ROM, though it's probably not needed. Don't ever superwipe when coming from Sense and going to AOSP though.
You can use 4EXT to do a full wipe (everything but SD card) and just install ARHD.
You don't have to change firmware or radio. Just flash the ROM and you'll be good.

I have a kernel that i found that i want to flash. When you flash a kernel, does it replace a flashed ROM or do they combine?
Also, when you flash anything (ROM or kernel) does it replace the stock ROM or does it take a spot next to it? Can you make several spots so there can be more than one ROM? What is wiping out a ROM? If you leave a ROM, can you save your setting so when you go back you don't have to start over again? Can you back up contacts,messages, and apps from stock ROM and extract the data to the new ROM?
I AM CONFUSED

1. No, they "combine"
2. It replaces it when you flash
3. Yes, but its more complicated than just flashing multiple roms. There is an app but it doesn't support Sensation.
4. Wiping a ROM is just that, wiping your phone of the ROM along with all your app,data and anything else on the phone(SD card not effected).
5. Umm. I don't understand your question completely but yes flashing a new ROM over an old ROM will preserve your data but you can flash a different rom and expect it to work. For example ARHD-->ARHD(updated) is OK but ARHD --> Insertcoin wont work.
6. Yes, its called titanium backup. Look it up.
thanks. after reading this, I stumbled on radios. what are radios?

Radio is what gives your phone signal. which version works best for you will depend on your location and carrier so you will just have to experiment. its generally advised that you flash the latest recommended version stated on the rom your using

The only thing I'd add is that for:
o If you leave a ROM, can you save your setting so when you go back you don't have to start over again?
You can do a Nandroid backup from CWM recovery, it takes a snapshot of the ROM, Kernel, Data,.. You can then play with other ROMs. Then at a later date restore the Nandroid backup from CWM and you're back at the earlier ROM.
It's extremely important that when you play with ROMs you backup a working version. It saves a lot of swearing when you lose a nice working system unintentionally. It's happened a couple of times to me and it's a bugger.
New to flashing roms on the sensation, but not new to flashing roms in general. (Had a Desire before) and i just flashed Virtuous Sensation as it seemed the most stable from what i could see but an hour after i have done so, it has frozen twice. Why is that? do I need to flash a new kernel??

Did you do a clean install? Superwipe? Try wipeing cache and dalvik then re-install Rom and reboot immediately after. Meaning don't flash any other mods before rebooting.
Let me know if you are beyond these steps.
i have just played arround whit my rom an it didt the same found out that it was some tweak script there didt the freez
after removing the script it hasnt done it again
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?

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!
I came from ARHD 1.2.2 and wiped cache, data and delvik and flashed to OpenSensation 200121007 with 4ext. and gapps 20120429.
all is well except Play won't restore any apps. Not looking forward to a one by one.
Any suggestions for an easier fix?
Tried removing my settings/acct and adding in Play. Finds my apps, but that's all.
Should I re-flash CM9, then gapps, then OS, then Bricked?
Yes also before flashing did you wipe data factories reset after wiping cash and dalvik? Make sure you have nandroid backup incase something goes wrong. Steps, wipe cash, wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset, flash Rom, flash gaaps , see if that solved your issue. Hopefully it will. Best of luck. Before flashing Rom in 4 ext I always wipe data factory reset along with cash and dalvik for a clean install. Hope this helps. Best wishes .

Darn the Luck ! ! ! No change. I did from scratch.
Guess it's a one by one.
If you have nandroid, restore nandroid, use titanium backup to backup all apps, install new ROM, Gapps and restore from titanium backup.
While you are at it, I'll suggest try CM10.

I do have nandroid, bur I figured the last time I tried OS it was unstable so I didn't use the nandroid.
Is CM10 stable with OpenSense 1007, WiFi calling and tether?
Perhaps you can answer this.
Some suggested that TWRP was a better recovery. I tired it with the todays re-flash and still have these (gapps) issues. But it seems to have overwritten 4ext though it does use some element of 4ext based on the progress log.
Is there a way to delete TWRP and just go back to 4ext?

CM10 is quite stable not sure how it compares with Opensensation. Bruce CM10 is getting updates almost every other day. I asked you to try because since you are between ROM's you can get a feel of what CM10 is and how it works out for you.
Wifi calling , I don't think works on any AOSP/CM based ROM. Tether I've never used so dunno again. Check CM10 forum.
I think you can install 4ext on top of TWRP to replace it.

WTH, I'll try another. So far (knock silicon) OS is pretty stable. I think I didn't properly wipe the first time I tried and/or this kernel is better.
WiFi and Tether do work with AOSP (pretty sure OS is AOSP derived).
4ext simple wouldn't reinstall over TWRP2, although it doesn't appear that TWRP is making some use of 4ext "routines" somehow.
Since OS is stable, I'm good.

That happened to me when I changed my hboot by way of upgrading the firmware and my phone got a different android ID. I think titanium Backup gives you the option to restore the latter id number if you run it just when you are starting to setting up your phone. I didn't know that so I ended up installing one by one but gave me the chance to discard the ones I wasn't using

Try wipe while in recovery mode and clear Delvik Cache. Restart you phone and see if it stays alright or goes back into a boot loop. If the phone goes back into bootloop,Restart your phone into recovery again and delete all data/cache. Flash recoveryand Flash the right radio.

I actually wound up wiping the whole system. It seemed like a bad idea at first but I got the correct radio and flashed everything the way it should have been. Sucks that I lost some of my pics but its better than not having a phone.

Wiping system just formats the partition that stores the ROM. I think you mean you formatted the SD. Both were unnecessary.

Wiping Dalvik and cache is actually a good trouble shooting step whenever you get stuck not booting. It wouldn't have solved the problem in this case, but it only takes a couple minutes to try, so it doesn't really hurt to do so, and is not "too complicated" by any means.
You should also wipe Dalvik and cache when flashing just about anything. So even when flashing the correct radio, it should be done.

Actually I guess its still on the radio. Idk what it is, I thought a system wipe would clear that out too but idk because now my internet isnt working right. Like I have to connect and disconnect my data like 5 times for it to work. Do you know where I can get a stock radio? If that's the problem.
