My very first CM10 install was the monthly build (cm-10-20121011-EXPERIMENTAL-d2vzw-M2.zip).
Can I install the latest nightly build on top of this monthly build with no issues?
I guess what I am asking...are all the installs interchangeable or is there some special stuff required to move from M to nightly and vice versa. Or say your on the latest nightly build and you want to install CM10 stable.
Thanks

You can just wipe caches and flash the nightly.

You can also use this to update to the newest cm nightly without having to download every new build - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta

and one last question...wiping these cache's won't erase data or anything correct? I'm guessing the answer is no but thought I would ask anyways.

Your data will still be in tact if you only wipe the caches

If I have cm7 on my phone. And I flash a cm7 based rom do I have to do a full wipe?

Read the op for the ROM you are flashing. It will tell you what is recommended. You can always try to flash it without wiping and if doesn't work right, do a full wipe and flash again.

Is dirty flashing when u go into goo manager and flash roms like that? From one build to another.

No dirty flashing is when u flash without wiping your data.

I believe that's how goo manager does it
That's how most any of the apps made do updates to ROMs. CMupdater does it, I know that for a fact.
Can I go back to the kernel that came with my ROM? I'm running Liquid 4/20 nightly with KT kernel currently and want to go back to "stock". Any way to do this without reflashing?

You will have to reboot into recovery and wipe data. It will take you back to when you first flash the ROM.
Thanks for the response.. What all will be lost with data wipe? Will I still have downloaded apps?

The user wants the stock kernel which came with the ROM. He has to flash the Kernel or flash the ROM once again after wiping the data.

Yes this is exactly what I'm asking about. If I don't have the kernel and I reflash the ROM after the data wipe, what will I have lost when the phone reboots? Maybe a better question is what will I need to restore as I've done a full backup.

When you dont wipe anything and flash the rom, you won't loose anything as far as i know. This method is known as dirty flashing. This may sometimes causes unintended issues.
If you wipe cache, dalvik-cache, boot, system and data and flash the rom, you will loose all the apps installed, messages, contacts etc. This is full wipe, clean install.

Thanks a lot for the response. I'm just getting into all the amazing customization options and I've become a flash addict lol. I'm seeing the full benefit of nandroid now... Definitely your best friend.

I I flashed stock jellybean in odin. It succeeded but it boots to the att logo and is now not doing anything...
It will take about 5 min while it builds caches. What did you come from?

Good idea to factory reset and do cleanup

you should wipe everything before flashing a new rom
read the instruction
Don't forget to hit THANKS button
[Q][URGENT]Is This Fixable?
Every time after that time I wiped everything but I forgot once. Would forgetting to wipe everything cause something like the issue I'm having? And if so is it fixable?

Did you flashed a completely other Rom? Or only an"update" of your Rom?
If you only "updated" your rom:
Boot into recovery
wipe Cache Partition
and Wipe Dalvic Cache (under "Advanced")
Reboot
This won´t delete any User Data
New ROM :-[
