I dirty flashed 4.2.2 to 4.3 no problem but I'm having issues lately, is it safe to go back?
Thanks

Full wipe. You dirty flashed already and are experiencing issues. It does not make sense if you were to dirty flash again.

It was working alright until a newer version that was also 4.3 came out and I flashed that.
Plus I've had to format data because I messed something up with killjoy and tkmod and experience the problems I had before that so I don't think the dirty flash is the issue.

It's pretty simple, do a clean flash. Anytime you flash different android versions you should never dirty flash. You do realize Android 4.2.2 and Android 4.3 are completely different versions right?

I guess I didn't make myself clear, I dirty flashed, had to reformat my data and flashed 4.3 again but still had the exact same problem that I did when I dirty flashed. A data format would be a clean flash amirite?
You do realize that flashing from 4.2.2 isn't like flashing 3.0 to 4.0?

OK that's much more clear, a clean flash is factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. You can also wipe system to clear out the old rom before flashing a new one.
I don't see how data formatting would fix your bugs, but keeping your data and dirty flashing 4.3 on top of 4.2.2 would certainly give you problems.
I think a clean flash will fix everything, as long as you don't restore system data from titanium backup or something.

I had to format data because I messed with ktoons and cputuner from killjoy because I'm an idiot.
I was just hoping someone had personal experience flashing between the two and could give me their personal experience. I was able to find a stable 4.3 version so it didn't even matter in the end.
I figured if I was asking a question like this it could be assumed I'm already aware that clean flashing is always the best thing to do and restating that really is of no use...
Thanks though.
And yeah, dirty flashing from 4.2.2 on PA is no problem if anyone cared.

I'm really confused what you're getting at here. You asked a question, you got your answers, then you're saying that by the way you stated your question we should already assume that you know what you're doing?
The way you stated your question didn't really sound like you understood the difference between a dirty and clean flash. Wiping your data will have an insignificant effect if there's a problem with the rom itself because you decided to dirty flash.
Snoop obviously knows his stuff, he tells you to clean flash and you ignore it and still point out the issues you're having. If you already know what you're doing then don't waste our time and ask questions you already have your answer to.
Maybe you should point out you're looking for another experience similar to yours, we were simply giving you pointers on how to fix it, which is exactly what this forum is used for.
Just a heads up, if your cpu was giving you issues, then flashing the kernel again would've fixed your problem also. Wiping your data alone won't fix anything, you essentially just erase your own data and do nothing to the rom or kernel itself.
Hopefully your problem is fixed now.

Generally, wipe data/cache, install TW ROM of choice.
Should've done a nandroid once you rooted

Fixed :cyclops:
ive read that its best to go back to a stock ROM or back to stock before flashing from AOSP rom.
If you dont some system files will be left behind in different partitions that might give you issues.
id wipe 3x. restore a stock nandroid, then wipe again, then flash tw rom

Learned that extra wipes can only help not hurt. Haha good ole htc taught me that. Thunderbolt and rezound haha and I only do the system wipe when switching aosp to tw. Not tw to tw. That's a waste of time haha

i bounce back and forth all the time btween touchwiz/aosp... all i do is wipe data/factory reset 1 time then flash rom or nandroid restore.

I've looked around for a little while and can't find any thread that says how to go from one build of a custom ROM to another... I feel extremely noobish asking this as well. I'm on build 11 of bean's custom JB ROM and there have been three new builds and I'm wondering if I need to do a full wipe as if I were flashing a ROM from stock, or if I just go ahead and do a dirty flash... Thanks in advance for the help

It's really at your own discretion. You can dirty flash, but you might have issues, but clean flashes are always the best path to take. Although, sometimes the devs do recommend a clean flash on some releases when they change something major.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Personally I always dirty flash. A couple of times I've encountered problems, made a backup then wiped to troubleshoot the problem, but its never fixed anything so I just revert to my backup. YMMV
Just read and follow the install instructions for the specific rom.

The OP usually tells you what you need to do. If there are major changes, they will tell you to wipe. Sometimes, dirty flashing is okay, just make sure that you follow the directions from the dev that created the ROM.

But if you encounter errors after dirty flashing, always do a full wipe and reflash before reporting them.

Just dirty flash it. Backup your apps and etc... prior just in case you do run into issues.

Format and flash.
As a general rule, I do an App backup (I tend to like My Backup Pro for app backups), a full nandroid backup, then dirty flash (wiping dalvik/cache) and see how it goes. Best case, everything works and I save myself a ton of time not having to restore apps/reapply settings. Worst case, if I have problems that don't seem to be generally reported, I do a full wipe and clean install.

what recovery are u using? u need to have twrp 2.3.3 installed
I'm using sk8's latest recovery version. If I switch to twrp how hard is it to switch back?

y would u want to switch back lol? how often are u in recovery anyway to be honest. u only boot into it to flash a ROM. switch to it and see if that alleviates your issue.

How is it broken? And sk8's recovery can flash 4.2 roms correctly that was one of the first questions he was asked in his 4.2 compile thread.

This has been resolved in the Nibbles thread.
Recovery was not the problem. There's a bug in the installation process within Nibbles for the Base Install. Custom installation works fine. Check my thread for details.
Mods, please lock. Thanks!
Hey Folks,
I'm slowly gaining more knowledge on the Android system but I am still a noob so this may be a really simple answer.
I am currently on PACman ROM w/ latest Moretz kernel installed. Ever since I installed that kernel, whenever I wipe cache/dalvik, and then reboot, my radio is gone.
No big deal as I don't wipe cache/dalvik often but I tried it 3x and same result. I have radio on my external so I just reflash but it is a weird observation.
Does it have to do with preloading?
Thanks
P.S. Using UXUMA7 radio...
All you need to do is reboot. You don't need to flash the radio again. This is a common issue.

You could have just asked in the thread. You just flash the zip in recovery. No need to wipe anything
