I'm on Build 2, and for installation of Build 3, they say:
How to install SlimBean 4.2.2 build 3
For Most Users:
Download 4.2.2 from here
Addons from here
!recommended! Full wipe, and manual format /system
Flash device 4.2.2 AND the addons you want, reboot
For advanced Users:
Download 4.2.2 from here
Addons from here
wipe cache and dalvic
Flash device 4.2.2 AND the addons you want, reboot
From another 4.2.2 ROM
Reboot to recovery
Full wipe, and manual format /system
Flash ROM zip
Addons from here
Reboot
But how about the previous Build ?
For Build1 -> Build2, I didn't wipe or anything else. It went good. But I don't know if that's the proper way to do it. (I met some gmail crashes since, related ?)
(Sorry for my bad english, and for the possible wrong choice of category, I can't post in the dev section because I'm new to XDA's forums)
Thanks !:fingers-crossed:
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.

To answer your question, restoring your data would not be considered clean, but if it works, it works.

I recently upgraded my phone from HTC Sense 3.0 to 3.5.
I did so using the following:
Code:
Energy_2.6.2012.Sensation.Sense.3.5
Now, everything is working fine except for one tiny little thing.
It reboots randomly.
Any ideas?
what the development thread for that particular ROM says? Does other users experience the same?
did you follow all instructions for flashing the ROM?

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.

I'm using the older ROM.
Code:
Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.5 !
How would I know if it's the ROM that is causing it?
Partitions? I don't think there are any.
where did you get that ROM in the first place?
I tried to search for the original thread, but couldn't locate it
about partitions - what kind of recovery tool are you using - ClockWordMod?
there are several partitions you can format manually - system, dalvik, cache

There's the download link for it. It's in the same thread.
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.

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.

SuperWipe is flashable zip from CWM.

if you cared about your sms, call logs, contacts, apps and settings make a backup. if not - then just wipe and install the ROM

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
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.

you will find the site and it's worth it if you constantly change roms..

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.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. Nice meeting you all.
Wanted to get your advice and thoughts on best practices of flashing roms and tweaks.
I'm using S3 and flashed foxhound rom. However, with each update, I'm not sure what's the best practice to upgrade the rom.
Right now I think this is the path I'm taken:
1. Download the latest rom
2. Use Titanium backup to backup just the apps (not system data), backup nova launcher settings
3. Go into Aroma installer
4. Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Flash rom
6. Reboot
7. Fix permission
8. Restore and sign into services
What about the other mods and tweaks?
Do you just flash them if you want them as well?
Is there a backup option where you can restore the state of the phone without restoring the old data in the new OS or is that not possible?
Thanks
Hi and thanks for all the help and pre-thanks for any help on this. I am just a TAD paranoid from a previous flash.
I have been running CM10.1 20130330 and gapps 20130301 for 2 plus weeks now. It was pretty stable until I restored Talkback from my Titanium backup from the GB backup and then said, I am not blind and tried to remove it with TBU and it wouldn't install. Everything works ok with some warnings that::gmail, gaaps, email, TBU, etc have guit working, I press on and things work.
I want to flash the CM.1 20130416 and gapps 20121212.
Following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 Scott's directions for coming from JB 4.1 I would need to do a Factory reset?
CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset Note: You should be fine without this step, but it is HIGHLY recommended as it makes certain all bugs are wiped clean. (Should be fine???)
Install ROM: Scroll down for downloads
Install OC kernel [Optional]: Scroll down for downloads (not using)
Install Gapps: Here (the latest for JB 4.2.1 - 12/12/12) - Working swipe! ---- Here (the latest for JB 4.1.2) - New GAPPs 10/11/2012
CWM: Wipe Cache Partition
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot
TWO questions:
1. Factry reset removes all my programs doesn't it (?) and I would need to re-install again, right? or restore from Titanium BU? or CWM Blue Restore?
2. I am reading about the nightlies and do you guys wipe everything every time or what?
I am getting the hang of it and enjoying basically a new phone and really don't want to go back to stock with this if I can avoid it.
Thanks for an awesome Forum

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

I will do this now, but when I go into the Advanced Menu, I am assuming CWM Blue, I only see repartition and not format. I also do not see system as an option. Am I missing something? I am searching threads for answers now. Thanks.

Glad to hear it's working for you
I want to upgrade to JB custom ROM on TF101. I have seen a quite few. But I want to know which one is the best. Also please let me know do we need to download all the apps after upgrading the ROM. Is there a way to keep the apps intact after upgrading or reinstalling by taking back up. Downloading again will take a lot of data and a lot of time. Please help.
You can back up your apps with titanium backup onto an SD card or other external storage, but you must wipe the tablet when upgrading to JB, I recommend team eos nightlies with KAT kernel, they work very nicely.
You can also get the apk files from /system/app I think or /data/app and reinstall after putting those back on the tablet after wiping.
Shall you please let me know what is the purpose of KAT kernel

I'm running Revolver 4.2.1. What are the advantages going to JB from ICS? I'm going on a long trip soon, so I'm mainly looking for stability, battery performance and keyboard/dock compatibility.
Also, I'm reading that we need to install TWRP to run JB ROMs? Or can I still use CWM?
Thanks in advance!

Lots of speed improvements over the stock kernel, fixes for different things like audio and gps
Grab the Kat-App too, that also boosts Audio and GPS

Yes move to TWRP as soon as possible or risk bricking your TF as many have done trying to flash new ROMs with CWM
If you install Goo Manager you can easily install TWRP from the top right settings menu "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
Highly recommend TeamEOS4 and KatKernel in terms of everything you are looking for for your trip
Advantages over ICS are performance and stability and a new UI (Which is swappable with the ICS tablet version from settings in TeamEOS)
OK. I looked at some tutorials to get a sense of TWRP and Goo Manager. I know you can view and download ROMs from GM. So after downloading the ROM, boot into TWRP to install it? How about flashing kernels and the Kat app you referred to? Is that downloaded and installed in the same procedure?

Yep exactly the same as a ROM, I do it this way
For a ROM
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and System
Install ROM
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
---
For a Kernel
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install Kernel
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
---
For Gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install Gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
----
Basically Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache between each flash and when your done, then reboot
For Kat App, its just an app, so wait until you're done with the above, boot into the ROM, get everything set up how you like it, then install the Kat App, its just an APK so you just use a file manager (ES File Explorer is my choice) and click it once to install it
Once in there, goto the Install section and install the GPS and Audio etc, the rest is pretty self explanatory, sections for Audio etc
EDIT - You don't have to use Goo Manager to download the ROMs or others either, sometimes its faster to use the PC and copy them over to the TF then reboot to recovery to flash them, you can use internal or external sdcards in TWRP, I have the links in my sig
EOS 4
I'll second the Team EOS 4 Recommendation
+1 for EOS4
