Flash CM11 update - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I'm Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T311 owner. My device currently running on CM11 unofficial builds. What I want to ask now are:
1.) I found a new cm11 updated build, so I downloaded it and wanted to flash it. Must I do a factory reset/wipe data again before flashing it?
2.) Do I have to reflash the GApps again?
Any answers will be appreciated :good:

You don't need to factory reset but it is advised to do so but do wipe cache and dalvik
You need to flash the gapps again

But, I won't lose the other installed apps right?

Download Deodexed Rom there are some problems, odexed version recommended
New img of 4.1.2 bootloader v3.41, flash it using fastboot: http://download.andreavenditti.com//grouper/bootloader/bootloader-grouper-3.41.img
If you have troubles entering in recovery, reflash using fastboot the old 3.34 version: http://download.andreavenditti.com//grouper/bootloader/bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
The fix for any further bug? Wipe data.

I just flashed this on top of my stock rooted JRO03S ROM and wiped caches. I made a nandroid, just to be on the safe side, but it booted right up without issue.
I'd say flash it after making some sort of backup, and if you have problems, full wipe.

Thats what Im doing right now. If all fails, I'll just reflash stock and flash the update on top.
Flashed it worked fine for me installing all my apps as we speak

I flashed this, worked fine, but now I have lost root and can't boot into recovery.
I have tried re-rooting again with the toolkit but it doesn't seem to work as it always boots back to system without doing anything.
The state seems to be still unlocked though.
Please advise
All working fine over here Flashed on top of rooted/unlocked stock 4.1.1 with wiping Cache after flashing.
Flashed the new bootloader (which fixed the recovery issue for me), then wiped cache and flashed the new ROM dirty over rooted 4.1.1. Worked fine. Thanks!
PS. Aroma installer is pretty cool. First time I've used it.

Just checked, and JZO54K is the correct build number. Looks like the title of the thread has a typo.

[Q] Updating CM10 - is that safe and possible?

Just a quick question but an important one. Is it safe and that easy to update my CM10 just through:
Options -> About Phone -> CyanogenMod updates?
Do I need to know something else?
Thank you for reading in advance!

Ah ok... So there should be no problem updating from one nightly to another.
But to be safe make a nandroid backup before updating. Personally I never used the updater. Just downlod the nightly the usual way (or use the updater to download the rom) and flash it in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik prior to that.
MrBerni
I do not need to factory reset, right?
And I need to do is install the zip from sd card and that's all? No gapps installing?

No need for factory reset as long as there are no problems afterwards. So make a nandroid to be on the safe side.
GApps will be backuped and restored during the update process so no need to reflash them. Again: As long as there are no problems with it afterwards.
So just downlod the rom, boot to recovery, make nandroid backup, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash rom.

done finding cwm file that's compatible with my tab
Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.
Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to install cm 10.2. is it stable? I tried searching and I found pac rom and if i'm not mistaken 3 custom roms are installed into 1 rom.
I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

Okay, first, make sure you have whatever you need backed up.
Second, wipe everything except SD card ( dalvik, cache, system, boot, data)
Third, reflash the ROM, and report back if your problem persists.

You can't dirty flash a 4.3 rom over a 4.2 rom like you did since the gapps are not compatible. It causes all sort of force close like you have. Do as Setting.Out said and make sure you download the correct gapps for 4.3. Flash them after you flash your rom.
try the rom at my singature

5.1.1 to CM12.1 advice please

Hi
Stock 5.1.1 LMY48B
rooted with TWRP installed.
Can I flash to CM12.1 just by flashing the zip from TWRP ?
will I lose any data ? Do I need to worry about bootloader or radio versions ?
If I want to go back is it as simple as flashing my nandroid backup ?

As I know going from rom to rom you need to make a factory reset.
That will remove all what is stored on /data
All apps, cache and dalvik cache.
All other data insidr /storage/sdcard will be on safe
As I know stock rom cannot be restored, but I just take this device before 1 day. I don't know for that, because on mine previous phone that was impossible

CM nightlies include a radio and bootloader so you don't have to worry about that.

Even if I never tried you should be able to restore a stock nandroid backup thru TWRP (you don't flash anything).

No they don't.
But since he's upgraded to stock 5.1.x already, everything is up to date and there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Google's bootloaders usually have good forward- and backward-compatibility.

From Jira:
Me => CM (AOSP) is the only rom which has a bootloader and a radio into its zip. Why? Could you remove them?
I was on the newest bootloader HHz12f and a radio from KRT16M. Every time I flash CM nightlies I have to update my bootloader and flash an older radio. Very annoying.
Thank you.
CM Team => Sorry, we will continue to ship both. It saves us more headaches in the long run. Thanks for your understanding.
It's as simple as that.

Custom ROMs have a check into their update-script for the bootloader version. If you don't have the good one then you can't flash it.
