Cm9 is safe kernel so u can wipe data without any problems.. Advice :- Just remember to flash Abyss 4.2 before wipe as it is more safer.

what if i want to continue using the installed cm9, i just want to factory reset is that possible without flashing abyss and if so do i still need to flash gapps again?

If u r on cm9 kernel then u can full wipe and flash rom + gapps again... if not then flash Abyss first and then follow the instructions.

Just a noob question, I know...
But Is it stable and secure to flash a diferent Kernel (not a update, a kernel from other dev) into our dear GNex without wiping everything and starting all over again??
Cheers
If you're unlocked go ahead and flash. No need to wipe anything for just a kernel install.

Yes it's unlocked for months, i've already install a bunch of roms and custom kernels, but i never installed a new kernel without a full wipe.
TY
I'm thinking of flashing Trinity kernel on my Nexus 7. If I have troubles after flashing the Trinity kernel and want to revert back to my present kernel do I restore a nandroid backup or is there something else I have to do to get present kernel back? Am currently running CM 10.1 jb 4.2.1 on my Nexus 7. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Just do a dirty flash (flash CM10.1 again without factory reset, just wipe cache and dalvik). Your kernel will be overwritten.

yup, thats the easiest way. but you dont have to wipe anything, not even dalvik or cache. you can always extract the boot.img from the cm rom and flash it via fastboot too.
Thanks simms. I'm still trying to figure everything out just got my Nexus for Christmas.

You have to wipe data before flashing a ROM.

I forgot to mention... I made a clean installation (wiped data/ factory reset , flashed the ROM and wiped cache/dalvik)
Are you flashing compatible GApps? Are you flashing any additional zips, like kernels or radios?

Same thing happened to me. The solution is to flash the rom, then flash purity kernel 153, and then reboot back to recovery and flash the rom again.

Noob Here. I have a CM 10.2 Nightly flashed (last weeks version) and I wish to update as it contains some fixes. Have I got to factory reset, wipe cache..etc? or do i simply flash the new nightly? also will I lose all my apps?
Thanks

If you just flash the new nightly (and I'd reflash the gapps too) you don't need to wipe anything and you won't loose ant data

Ok cool. I have couple of questions if you don't mind.
What do I flash first? ROM or GAPPS?
I heared some nightlies have issues, is there somewhere I can look to find them?
Will I need to reflash Franco Kernel?
thanks

Samsung will upgrade to 4.4
I wonder if this makes possible an official update from Cyanogen team, as the official ROMs from Cyanogen stopped in 4.3
Does anyone have any idea if we still upgrade the CM?
Thanks for attention.

There is unofficial 4.4 CM for Note 2 runs good
Check out OmniROM 4.4 and SlimKat 4.4
Not much difference between those 3 Roms anyways don't worry about CM

Flashing is easy
After you root and install custom recovery, all you have to do is download the ROM and transfer it to your SD card
Enter recovery, wipe dalvik cache, cache and data, find the ROM ZIP file, and flash!
The only way to soft brick your phone is to flash the LTE version of the rom or to flash rom without wiping cache and data
I personally do a full wipe (dalvik, data, system, internal storage , cache)
