So I am being cautious here.
They mention this:
you will need to flash a latest cm12 nightly before flashing this build AFTER my RR 5.3.0 builds to avoid reboots and bootloops!
I have no idea what this means. Is this valid for in my case? I am currently running stock (just got my One this week).
Thanks!
It's instructing you to flash the nightly so that you're on the right firmware (it's included in the CM nightly). So you'd do this:
1. Download the nightly to your phone.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery and perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) from the advanced wipe menu.
3. Install the nightly with the install menu.
4. Boot the phone up once.
5. Boot back into TWRP and perform another full wipe.
6. Install your chosen ROM (plus gapps).
7. Reboot into your new ROM and enjoy.
Before you do any of this I'd suggest you make a nandroid backup with TWRP, and also backup your EFS if you haven't done so already. You'll probably benefit from looking at my guide here:

Hi !
I have installed on my xoom wifi MZ604 Team EOS ICS ROM.
How to update the ROM?
I mean: How to update the nightly build?
My is Eos-wingray-47 build and i want to update to 48.
I need to flash it as a normal ROM?
And what about the G-APPS? Just flashing it?
no need to wipe? thanks
Wipe the cache and Dalvik Cache. Flash the new nightly build and then flas the Gapps. Do not reboot between flashing the nightly and Gapps.
That's how I have done it for every build since they got the camera working and not had a problem.
So I have to wipe?
No you don't need to wipe data, just the cache and Dalvik Cache (it's recommended that you do this to make sure old cache information won't cause issue with updated info).
OK...
And when flashing the G-APPS i dont need to wipe,right?
just cache?

No need to wipe anything when updating Gapps if you flash Gapps immediately after you flash the Eos Nightly.
It depends if you are changing versions of Gapps. If you are just reflashing Gapps after flashing each nightly then no. If you are flashing a different version of Gapps it depends. You need to look at the release notes for that version. If you were running version 9.x and upgrading to a 10.x version a full wipe was needed. Incremental 10.x upgrades, say from 10.1 to 10.2, did not need a full wipe.
The biggest thing that I have seen cause problems is that people are rebooting between flashing the nightly and Gapps. This is what I recommend.
-reboot into recovery
-perform a backup
-wipe the caches
-flash the new nightly
-flash Gapps
-reboot
I always perform the backup. Yes it takes some time, but when something goes wrong you always have the ability to revert back to a good working state. Well worth the few minutes it takes to have that peace of mind.
Hello Everyone,
I've just tried to install the slim ics rom.
I've a Nexus S with a version of 2.3.1 android with modaco rom, and i want to "upgrade" my phone to 4.0.4 with slim ics rom.
In the rom site, i saw that i need to "download latest cm9 nightly or any ICS kernel (odin or cmw flashable)", and then: "Enter CWM Recovery, Wipe data, Format System ( In Mounts and Storage)".
I didn't get it - I don't know what to do - to wipe the date (please explain me how to do it), and then install all the cm9 nightly rom which weighs 128mb, and after that the rom?
Thanks,
Or.

Don't worry about the cm9 rom procedure, here's what to do. I have attached a wipe all zip which is flashable in cwm recovery. Some of this is a bit of overkill, but it will get the job done.
Go to cwm recovery ... wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Return to main menu and install zip from sdcard, select zip, and flash the wipe all zip which is attached. Now flash Slim 4.2 and then flash the common zip. Reboot and you're done.

So don't I need to install cm9?
I only need to wipe as you said and then install the slim ics 4.2?
Thanks!!
Edit:
Never mind, thank you!!
I've just installed the Slim Beans (4.1.2), and it works excellent!
I'd a problem after installing cm10 and then slim beans - the google keyboard crashed, so I didn't have any keyboard. I repaired by wiping the data and cache.
Thanks, it works very good!
I was on CM12 stock 5.0.2 (version 12.0-YNG1TAS2I3) and i wanted to root my phone , so I unlocked bootloader and rooted the phone but now I want to flash a new Rom but I ve read in a couple of rom threads that we have to flash another 5.1nightly before flashing a ROM and I am not sure I understand this part.
I would be grateful if someone could help me with the process of flashing a 5.1 rom and gaaps for the first time on a freshly rooted phone
P.S : ( I also want to use calaukin's gaaps modified by mohit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/gapps-modified-slim-gapps-calkulin-t3082242).
Flashing the CM12.1 nightly first ensures that your firmware is up to date. The process goes like this:
1. Download the latest CM12.1 nightly and install it with your custom recovery (no need to flash gapps, but make sure you perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) first).
2. Boot the phone up once.
3. Boot back into your custom recovery and perform a full wipe.
4. Install your chosen ROM + gapps.
5. Boot phone.
6. Enjoy.

Thank you so much . I followed your guide too so thank you for the support .
It is not necessary to flash nightly first, most ROM threads provide a separate firmware flashable .zip (just make sure it is flashed correctly, cause people reported issues with newer TWRP than 2.8.6.0)

I used to share your opinion. But, while a lot of ROM threads do provide a firmware zip, they aren't maintained, it's usually uploaded and forgotten about. Flashing the nightly ensures that you're on the very latest firmware available.
Hi all, i've flashed a lot of rom with android 5. The problem is with android M, if i flash a rom based on Android M the phone works perfectly for about 15 mins, but then it restart itself and everytime it reaches the lockscreen it freeze again and then it repeat this process forever. I don't think it's a problem of the rom for 2 reasons:
1) A lot of people are using it without problem and they are really happy.
2) I flashed about 4/5 roms with android M and everytime the same story.
For flashing the rom i used this method:
1) Format /data and /system
2) Flash firmware
3) Flash rom
4) Flash gapps
5) Flash Kernel
6) Format dalvik
what's wrong? With android L my phone works really fine.
1) Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Dalvik/ART, System, Data, Cache
2) Flash latest cm13 nightly
3) Flash rom
4) Flash gapps
5) Flash Kernel

Yes, if you are coming from a different rom, you need to flash cm13 nightly first, as this will have all files needed. You can do all steps at one time without rebooting to system or recovery. I did leave out 1 step though
1) Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Dalvik/ART, System, Data, Cache
2) Flash latest cm13 nightly
3) Go back to Wipe and format system only this time
4) Flash rom
5) Flash gapps
6) Flash Kernel
Hello everybody, i would like to get some help.
I have OB11 on both slots, rebooted recovery, wiped everything as should and still every custom rom fails to boot. Does someone know the correct method of installing?
Thanks.
I've seen about 7 of theese threads. All they have in common is: no one followed the guide on OP, 2nd is none of them installed oos rom on both slots (this you did, but perhaps ob11 isn't recommended, perhaps stable is)
1. Make sure you have the recommended OOS on both slots (ob11 isn't for all roms, some wants stable.
2. Wipe data, dalvik, cache (nothing else)
3. Flash rom you want (some says it's more stable on both slots aswell, for me it works either way)
4.flash twrp
5. Reboot to twrp
6. Flash gapps (if you want it, nano is recommended for some, micro for some. Read the OP)
7. Flash magisk
8.reboot to system
