I have a problem, ever since I started flashing CM 6.1 RC's I have always had to flash them with GAPPS (google apps) I keep reading all voer the forums saying that when you flash them once, when updating you wont have to select GAPPS again. Problem is if I dont select GAPPS then I don't have them on my phone. No market or everything. My first question is how can I avoid having to flash GAPPS every time the rom updates?
2nd question is after every CM update or any ROM update I loose all my apps data. All my saved game data like angry birds, slice it, even apps like handcent get reset to stock. I even use TitaniumBackup Pro to backup all apps + system data and when I restore I still get no old data? Am I selecting the wrong batch to update?
How can I update to 6.1 stable without having to re flash GAPPS and keep my old system data?
Sorry for the noobienes
are you using rom manager.

Yes I am. Thats what I use to flash the roms.
Are you selecting "wipe data and cache"? Every time you update?

No not at all. I know that would delete gapps and all previous system data.
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Rc2 Oc'd to 1.497ghZ
Just tried again, made sure I wasn't wiping or deleting anything, did the whole titanium batch backup all apps + system data. Flashed 6.1 stable, no gapps because I already have had them when I flashed rc3
Result:
Gapps are gone, all apps settings have been reset to stock, titanium did not restore system data n'or app data.
I'm stuck =( can anyone post a step by step. Tut on how to properly upgrade Cm?
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Rc3 Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
Problem solved. If anyone else is having issues do this
Maxation said:
1. download the stable cyanogenmod release 6.1
2. transfer the .zip to the root of your sdcard (i.e. not inside a folder)
3. boot into clockwork (recovery) using rom manager or hold power button down and choose reboot then recovery (the important thing IMHO is to install from recovery, not from inside rom manager)
4. from the main clockwork menu, select 'install .zip from sdcard', navigate to update-cm-6.1.0-vision-signed.zip and install.
5. reboot

Just flash the newer zip in recovery.
So flashing the update keeps settings and apps in tact?

Yes. Nandroid JIC. Wipe cache and dalvik and just flash over.

Thanks a bunch fellas
After you flash the new CM zip, be sure to flash gapps (if you use it) and any other zips you've flashed. You won't lose your data (as long as you didn't wipe it), but you will lose any customizations that you flashed that write to /system (which would be most of them).

If you have already flashed gapps on an earlier version of CM and are just updating to a newer version of CM you do not have to flash gapps again. Just wipe cache and davlik and flash the update and kernel if you use a custom kernel and that's it.

While this does work, there have been some builds that cause gapps to need to be reflashed. Flashing gapps everytime doesn't hurt.

Mr. Shroom here's the situation...
My current rom is cm 7.0.2. im trying to flash 7.0.2.1 and keep my apps and settings in tact. Im trying to do this via rom manager. A step by step guide would be greatly appreciated.

Step 1: get rid of clockworkmod recovery (flash "alternate" Amon Ra using ROM manager)
Step 2: download 7.0.2.1 from one of the many mirrors
Step 3: (optional) move zip to root or folder such as 1roms
Step 4: reboot into recovery
Step 5: once in recovery make a nandroid backup
Step 6: flash new zip
Step 7: wipe cache and dalvic
Step 8: (optional) while in recovery go to other>fix apk uid mismatches
Step 9: Profit!

I've followed the steps you describe before, and I lost everything Google related -- my google contacts and calendars were gone. It wasn't an option to add it back until I re-flashed gapps.
simple. download 7.0.2.1.. wipe your cache.. make a backup if you desire..
and flash it.
no need to wipe your data if you're just upgrading CM
Got it done. Now i can go back to using my camcorder. Thanks for all the helpful replies.
I have had my N7 for a week now, and have unlocked and rooted it. I flashed the jr5 rom and it worked ok, but i decided I wanted to try the pure AOSP rom, so I did a data/cache/dalvik wipe and flashed the rom. It proceeded to boot and freeze at the Google screen. I rebooted into recovery, and attempted to restore from my backup (failed), flash the jr5 rom (failed), and reflash the AOSP rom (failed). I then decided to follow the instructions on ROOTZwiki and restore back to stock (although still unlocked). I restored to the factory image, and attempted to flash the CM10 AOKP rom, and was again met with the frozen Google screen. I made sure to wipe data and both caches each time i tried to flash a rom, but I always end up stuck at the Google screen. What could be causing this? I would really like to know if anyone has any idea, because I fully plan on running the full version of CM10 when it is released.
By wipe Data you did factory reset in cwm? And what version of cwm are you using?

yes i did a factory data reset each time. I am currently running v5.8.0.2 of cwm

No that shouldn't be causing your problems, although I would recommend flashing TWRP recovery through goo manager.
I would first download a ROM on your computer and check the MD5. Then mount your nexus over USB and copy the new ROM over to the nexus sdcard directory and while its connected use your computer to check the MD5 on your ROM while its on the device. Then wipe data, cache, dalvic cache and system. Then install the ROM and Gapps and reboot. Make sure its only the to, and not a desperate kernel or anything for right now. When you reboot give it 10 minutes or so the first boots are often way long.
If that doesn't do it copy the stuff on your SD card over to your computer and then format the SD card.
To install TWRP, install goo manager from the play store, when you open the app just press menu, you don't need to browse for files or anything. Just press menu and then choose Install OpenRecoveryScript and when its done reboot or reboot to recovery, can't remember which did the trick, and it may take a couple of times.
Also remember that booting through boot loader to recovery requires the USB cord to be connected to a computer to avoid the Google screen looping.
Hope some of this was helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to help me. Before I do the goo-manager/twrp install, are there any inherent advantages or disadvantages of using twrp as opposed to cwm? Also, I hadn't thought to check md5s after moving the roms, so I will be doing that from now on.
Twrp works just fine.
In your recovery, can you mount and unmount all your partitions without any errors?

am I finally doing it right?
I flashed EOS rom from a clean system and it worked fine. Decided to have gapps and installed via twrp. This would give me boot loop into recovery no matter wat combination of cache clearing etc used. So finally I did the counter intuitive and installed gapps zip followed by ROM zip. This seems to have worked though it seems backwards to me. Is this the correct procedure?

no. did the rom already come with gapps? the rom would wipe out whatever gapps you did flash before the rom.

I don't like Twrp not being able to boot into recovery from holding the buttons, especially running into these loops during installs. Had the sameresults with cwm though.Now I am having this boot loop with TeamEOS as well as Skanky (neither package gapps) I however only loop if installing gapps after the rom or wiping caches.
If caches and system are wiped, gapps installed, then the rom I get a functioning system.Can anyone shed some light on what trigers specific loops or how to review tje errors / panics?
I'm reviving this thread since I have a similar issue. I am using TWRP. I have no problem performing a wipe (I do a factory reset, plus dalvik cache wipe), or flashing a new ROM (I've tried SGT7 and PA2.11). I can boot into the ROM fine. Once I try to flash Gapps, I get stuck in a boot loop that ends up going back to recovery. I've tried different combinations of operations, with different versions of gapps, but nothing works. I've tried:
gapps-jb-20120719-signed
gapps-jb-20120726-signed
both from goo.im, MD5 checked, without success. I'm stuck using SGT7, because that one includes Google account, and Play Store, so that can get me going... Only thing, I haven't wiped the data partition, because that's a bigger hassle. Do you guys have any clues as to what I should try next?

Did anybody get out of their bootloop? I flashed paranoid droid with twrp and I didn't select "signature verification" or "md5 check" as I read before hand on another forum that it wasn't needed and to actually not tick "signature"....so now I'm in a bootloop, volume buttons and power does get me in to a few selections, "reboot", "power off" and "recovery". When I select recovery it just takes me to the black screen with "Google" on it. No idea how to get out of this loop....I'm researching now but I am not understanding much....I'm so use to Samsung devices, getting out of bootloop with those are a piece of cake, this I'm clueless and helpless on. So does anybody have a way for me to either reflash the rom or get me to where I can go back to stock? I used wugfresh to root. Thanks.

Yeah, goomanager is telling there's a new version of the ROM your running, you can download the new version (look for it in the forum) and then install it (flash it) via recovery, or keep your old one. I personally like stock, don't like custom ROMs on nexus devices.

But play store, google backup transport and other google apps are to be flashed saperately in order for play store to work. And the contacts sync and other stuff can only be got by flashing gaps.

Goo.im manager is the software that can be used by developers to provide ota updates to users of their custom roms. It sometimes goes mad and asks to update rom. It could be some data problem. Just erase the app data and restart app. This works most of times.

WELCOME to android!
just remember this.
flashing for update:: clear cache/dalvik cache, flash update, flash Gapps,
flashing new rom, factory reset, flash rom, flash Gapps, clear cache/dalvik. reboot, restore apps using Titanium Backup
I'll start by apologizing if this has been covered elsewhere. I looked but couldn't find it. I am definitely a noob, but trying to learn.
I bought a Nook Color already rooted a few years ago. Under "About Phone", it does say Model number is NookColor, it is Android version 2.3.7, and the Mod version is CM-7.1.0-encore. (kernel version 2.6..32.9 if it matters)
It already had ROM Manager on it, and when I boot into recovery, it has CWM 3.2.0.1. When I try to update CWM with Rom Manager, it tells me that I have an unsupported device. When I click Device not listed above, it pops up with "NookColor does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
I assumed somebody must have so I hit "yes", and it asked me to confirm the version. I clicked on ClockworkMod 3.x+. It tells me after that Rom Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. I hit "ok", and under Recovery Setup, it tells me Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x I did reboot into recovery, and it still comes up as version 3.2.0.1
My question is, is there a way to download the most current version of CWM to my sd card and install it from CWM? If so, does anyone know where I could find the download?
My goal is to update to CM11, and the instructions I have tell me I need the latest version of CWM.
First off, get rid of ROM Manager, it does nothing but screw up Nook Colors. You can get a new enough version of CWM at this post:

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I kind of figured I needed to get rid of that. I had already downloaded cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore, and gapps-kk-20140606-signed in order to do this. I had a hard time getting those gapps for some reason, I hope they are the right ones. I looked that that thread. I must be blind. I can't see where I would get the latest CWM. I also don't know what to do with it when I do find it.

Install zip from sd. After you flash go to advanced and reboot to recovery so you are in the new recovery and then flash the rom and gapps zips and do a factory rest.

I flashed the rom and the gapps, and it looked like it was doing it, but as it was saying uninstaling old apks and installing new ones etc, it was taking a while. I left the room to find it rebooting back in to CM7. Should I go back in and reflash again and stay put this time?

It might have been a corrupted download. Also what version of CWM did you end up installing? Are you sure it took? In other words did you see the new version number when you rebooted?

Sorry it took so long to answer. I'm on the east coast, I was sleeping when you sent your last message. It says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 at the top. I don't know if the word "based" means anything.
I had checked the MD5 Checksum with a utility I found for the CM-11 nightlies I found off of Download.CyanogenMod.org, and they matched.
I thought that maybe that the Nook was having trouble with my external card so I put the rom and the gapps on the internal card and tried it, and it still gives me the errors.
This is what I have been doing, and this is according to instructions I found in another thread:
1. I wipe data. on the nook screen it says:

Data wipe complete.
I then wipe cache partition:

Cache wipe complete
I then wipe Dalvik cache under advanced:
It says Dalvik Cached wiped.
then I go to choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and pick cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip (also tried with 20150607) that's where I get:

Then it shows the Android guy keeled over. I then do a restore and he pops back up. on the screen it says:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I boot back into system, and it loads CM-7 as if it was it's first day. It wants me to sign in to Google account etc.
I thought that when you do all those wipes, that at least the internal card wasn't supposed to have much left on it. It appears like mine has everything that it always had, not that I kept much in there. It does show files for ADW Launcher. Unless maybe they were restored through Google when I signed in.
Sorry this post is so long, but if you are helping me, I wanted to be detailed.
Everything is as it should be except for that error 0 and your backup md5 mismatch.
Just some things to point out. A factory reset wipes data and cache. So no need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, those are both wiped with the factory reset. And a factory reset does not wipe system, that is usually done by the new rom installer. Since that failed, system was not wiped and still had cm 7 still on it, but not set up since you wiped data.
And a data wipe does not wipe your files on the internal sdcard, which is why you still had some files from your prior installation.
And you need a newer CWM, version 6.0.4.8, for roms after 5/16/14:

Yes, it certainly would have made it easier. That newer cwm allowed me to install the rom and gapps.
The only problem I am seeing now is that I don't see the Play Store icon. I see Play Books, Play Games, Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Play Newsstand, but no Play Store. I am going to assume that I didn't have the correct gapps.
If that is the case, do you know where I can find them, and would I just flash it, and do I need to wipe anything afterwards?
Incidentally, even after flashing this rom I still have files left from things that I had installed before that I don't want. Are those just to be deleted manually?

Yes you must manually delete any sdcard files you don't want.
And I have a version of gapps for KitKat here:
http://d-h.st/T1Ps
If flashing that does not fix it, go to cwm and format /system, reflash the rom and new gapps zips.

Are you sure that's the right gapps? I have 4.4.4 now and that file says 4.4.2 You're the expert, but I just want to double check.
By the way....how is a person supposed to know what the right gapps file is for the rom used? I know that roms are device specific, but I don't know about gapps. I put CM-11 on my wife's Kindle Fire. Can I use the gapps file that I used for hers?
By the way, if I don't like CM-11, can I put CM-10, or CM-12 on my Nook using the same CMW that I now have? It seems like this is a little slow, and for some reason the lock screen is always in landscape mode.

I was able to answer my own question. I actually did the wipes, and reinstalled the rom (just in case), and I flashed the gapps that I used on my wife's Kindle. Now I know that gapps are are not specific to the device. I don't know why there are so many different versions of gapps for a rom though. I also don't know how you are supposed to know which is the best to use. It seems like it's always buried in a thread somewhere, but where do you go to find the information out otherwise? Also, it seems like if you are going to flash a rom, you have to have the correct version of cwm, and that the most recent updated one isn't always best. How are you supposed to know which version for which rom? Also, do you know if they have stopped making nightlies for cm-11? The last one was on 6/14, and it seems a little buggy. If they do make one, and I want to flash it, do I just flash it, or would I have to do the wipes again and would that make me have to reinstall all my apps? As you can tell, I am trying to learn all about this.

As an end user, you do not really want to use nightlies, they are usually buggy and experimental. You want to use the latest snapshot which for the most part have their bugs worked out. Usually you can flash new nightlies over older nightlies without wiping. But if you go backwards, like from a newer nightly to an older one or an older snapshot, you should wipe. You can try it without wiping, but if you experience problems, go back and wipe, no need to reflash.

I downloaded and installed the M12 snapshot. Well, for one thing, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode. For another, it is now running just as slow as slow can be. Do you have any idea why that might be? I put the rom in my external sd card and installed from there. That's what I should have done correct? Is there another build that I should have put on here instead? I also noticed, that even after doing all the wipes, and installing new roms, I still had files from before I started all of this. Did it not wipe correctly?

Well, I am having some issues with this rom. For example, the wifi isn't as strong as it used to be, and some apps don't want to connect. When I reboot, app folders that I put on the desktop end up missing as well as some icons and I have to put them on again. I did go in to cwm and wiped the caches, but that didn't help, not to mention the continued landscape mode with the lockscreen. Any ideas? What rom do you think is best?

I never liked cm11. I liked cm10.1.3 the best. It is very stable and everything works. If you go to that you must downgrade your cwm. I have versions on my NC tips thread linked in my signature.
