I rooted my nexus 16gb WiFi a few days ago. I want to install CM 10.1 now, BTW I used wugs kit. How would I install it using wugs kit? I have already done a nandroid backup using it.

AW: [Q] Help with flashing custom ROM
You can't install it using the toolkit
Flash a recovery (clockworkmod or TWRP) using the toolkit and download the cm10.1 zip and the gapps (Google apps) for android 4.2.1/4.2.2. Now place them on your internal sdcard and boot into recovery. There you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache. Now install cm10.1 and the gapps. Reboot and done

Is flashing a recovery same thing ad android backup? I installed cwm when I rotted, using the option in the toolkit. Could you please explain step-by-step?

I flashed CM 10 onto it, and it booted up. but now my keyboard isnt working. What do? It says Android keyboard has stopped everytime. EDIT: I think I realized why. CM 10 is android 4.1.2, not 4.2.2. I think I installed the gapps for 4.2.2
Keyboard still isnt working, I don't know whats wrong. I reflashed cm 10.0.0 and gapps for 4.1. help, I cant do anything without keyboard. EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working after a few reflashes.
Such an easy process, so easy to engrain into your brain, after that you should be golden. Can't do it from the toolkit, only recovery.
1. Root, recovery and Nandroid backup (You already did those)
2. Download ROMs and Gapps (for full functionality)
3. Place the ROM and Gapps to the root of your Internal SD
4.Reboot into recovery
5.Wipe Data/Factory Reset
6. Wipe cache
7. Advanced-> Wipe Dalvik cache
8. Install zip from sdcard
9. Choose zip from sdcard
10. Select YourROMnamehere.zip, then gapps.zip

Also, flashing a recovery is not the same as making a nandroid backup. You can make a nandroid backup, a backup of just about everything on your device. A recovery is a tool to flash ROMs, Mount partitions, make backups, etc.

I realized that yesterday, ended up trying out CM 10, then AOKP, and I settled on Paranoid Android last night after that. But thanks anyways. I also installed M-Kernel. I havent noticed much difference in battery life, although my nexus does feel smoother. Is there something I have to do first?

I rooted my phone today, then installed Rom Manager. Using Rom Manager I tried to install Cyanogen Mod 7 RC 1. It seemed to install fine, but when it starts up it goes to the Cyanogen Mod 7 splash screen and loads for a few seconds, then restarts(not the phone, it just replays the splash screen). I backed up my previous Rom, but I don't know how to restore it. Can someone help me get CM7 working or tell me how to restore my previous rom.
EDIT: I got the standard rom recovered, so I don't really have to worry about that part anymore? But how could I get CM 7 to work if I wanted to re flash it?
Do a nandroid backup through ROM manager first off if you haven't already.
Did you do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flashed CM7RC1?
Did you flash Gapps at the same time as the ROM?
btw the RC2 has been out for a while.
Er...no. How do I do wipe the cache data? Also, I don't even know what Gapps is. I'm quite ignorant on the subject of roms.

It really is good to do this through recovery, although if you're not comfortable with general use of recovery, I think if you flash the CM7 zip through ROM manager you can check the box for "wipe data + cache".
Gapps is "Google Apps" aka market etc. etc.. These aren't included in the ROM, and I bet you'd like to have them . The link for the latest Gapps is in the CM7 ROM thread in the dev section. Haven't used ROM manager to flash in a long time (I do it through recovery manually) but I think you can check the box to install Gapps at the same time too if you don't wanna do it manually.
Yeah, I chose to install Google Apps. But are you saying if I download the zip file for CM7 like on my pc, then transfer it to my sdcard then fflash it that way, then I should be able to wipe the cache?

And data. it is extremely paramount (imho) that you wipe all of your data/cache/dalvik before flashing to ensure you get a good quality install.
Also, make sure you have the latest CWM recovery installed via ROM manager (assuming that you do already). Its 3.0.0.5 .
Like I said ROM manager can do this, but for nightlies/RC I just do it through recovery and make sure it gets done right.
Which Custom Recovery are you using? and why?
can't delete old backups

I just realized that CWM has a problem on Nexus 7. Can't delete old backups!! You can't delete files in the CWM backup folder thru file explorer, terminal with SU or ADB. For that, and so many other performance reasons, I dropped CWM faster than drunk girl in stilettos. TWRP is what I use on my Galaxy S2 and I just love it. You can queue up several zips for install in order, like: 1) TDJ cache wipe, 2) install ROM, 3) install Gapps, 4) TDJ cache wipe again. then, come back 2 minutes later, and you're ready to reboot. ALso, TWRP has a file manager in recovery, so you can actually delete those annoying backup folders that CWM won't even let you delete. TWRP FTW.
I also notice that TWRP has the nice backup options for "System/Boot/Data" backup only. So I can clean backup my rom without all those apps(which is HUGE)
guess I'll need to put back TWRP in my Nexus 7 again.
TWRP. I tried the latest CWM but even the touch version is not that good for me. Also the De duplication backup of CWM is just not quite right in my opinion. In my experience, leaving thousand files in the sd card is causing performance problems compared to just few large files.

If I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager and then Reboot into Recovery from Rom Manager, I go right to cwm recovery. I have tested making and deleting nandroid backups there and it works just fine. My backups consist of a folder containing 5 files including an md5 checksum so I don't know what people are talking about with 'thousands of files'. I think the people criticizing CWM don't know how to use it. I just make sure I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager before I Reboot into Recovery. Works every time. I don't use the Touch version, just plain old Rom Manager v5.0.2.1 and CWM 6.0.1.0.
I had installed CWM first, but now I changed to TWRP and I like it much more. With an USB-stick connected you have the possibility to backup / restore ROMs from there directly, which makes much more sense than backing up to internal memory. Also the other options provided for install / backup / restore are well done. Really nice work!

TWRP
Big icon easy to use.
CWM, in all honesty, I unlocked and rooted and have never gone back into recovery. Because this is the first device I've ever owned where I didn't feel the need to flash a ROM yet! ( key word,YET) I use my Galaxy S 2 for my flashing addiction.

What steps are you taking when you are flashing these roms? I haven't had an issue yet.

wipe wipe wipe..
if youre coming from stock, you must wipe data/factory reset before flashing the rom. aosp and stock are different at this point.
For the 4.3 rom flash, did you also flash the new radio and bootloader. Also, be sure that the md5 of the rom you downloaded is correct; happened to me a couple of times.
i also have trouble in flashing ROM. It won't installed and on the recovery mode it said, "no command".
Helppp!

To Flash any rom
Steps:
1.Download latest bootloader and radio.(If you came from stock 4.3,Skip this step)
2.Donwload your Rom and latest GAAPS.
3.Save all the downloaded .zip files in a folder on your nexus 4.(Any folder)
3.Reboot your cell in CWM or TWRP recovery..That is switch off your cell and then press Vol up(+) Vol down(-) and power button all at the same time for 5 sec (you can flash CWN or TWRP through nexus 4 toolkits)
4.Do factory reset and clear Dalvik cache
5.Flash bootloader and radio (Skip if you came from stock 4.3)
5.Flash your downloaded rom (.zip file)(Go to Install .zip from SD card option and go to the folder where you have downloaded the rom)
6.Flash GAPPS (.zip file)(Go to Install .zip from SD card option and go to the folder where you have downloaded the GAAPS)
7.Wipe cache and dalvik cache
8.Done.Enjoy your Rom
Thanks brother. I wasn't factory restoring and that was my prob.
Okay Idk what's going on exactly but I've tried downloading sacs custom 7.2 several times md5s all check out and when I go to flash it in twrp 2.6.3 it fails same with twrp 2.5.2.zip they both keep failing. However I was recently able to flash miuiv5 after a download so the recovery is still working (also it restores backups fine)... So. I'm wondering what's going on here they aren't bad files and it just won't flash! Does this rom have that aroma installer? Am I missing something that allows that?
Currently running trifforce 3.1 with agat kernel and twrp 2.63

It could be a product assert. If the TWRP is not made for t0ltespr (Sprint Note II) or ROM isn't made for that the two could be trying to verify the wrong model against each other and failing. You can remove this from the zip by looking for the assert in update-script.
Another option if you're open to it is to try my unofficial CWM and see if that avoids your issue.
Good luck!
rom help
In order for it to work, you need to flash sach's custom rom version 7.0. Let it do a full install and setup, then boot back into recovery. Then flash the 7.1 or 7.2 update. Hope this helps.
---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
Do Not, I repeat DO NOT do a system wipe in TWRP after installing 7.0 or 7.1. Let the aroma installer do the wipe. I learned the hard way, I wiped it myself and went to update to 7.2 and got nothing but failure notices. Once I re-flashed 7.1 and let the aroma installer do the wipe, it installed with no problem
ive always done a system wipe with no problems. be sure you are downloading the full rom and not the update. and make sure your downloading from a pc over a good wifi conection, then i make sure the file size is about the same size before transferring and flashing. hope this helps

After wiping system,caches,data in Twrp advanced wiped are you getting the fail? if so just reboot recovery and try to install again without wiping. I have had the flash fail for me too and a recovery reboot solved the issue for me. Also in aroma don't factory reset wipe just wipe cache and dalvik. Also I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1
