In recovery, just select Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced), and under Mounts and Storage select Format System.

Hey guys just a quick question about installing nightly builds on the nook. When Rom Manager asks whether to wipe data/cache and what not, if I select it, will it wipe the internal memory completely? leaving no user files behind? or will it only wipe the system files?
It will wipe everything and it will be a fresh install.

If you update, just wipe cache
It wipes the /data partition but doesn't wipe /sdcard /sd-ext or /met/emmc.

Note: wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache are 2 different things.
+ wipe cache is a quick way to clean the current running ROM
+ wipe Dalvik is a completely clean.
After wipe Dalvik, next time it boots, it will take a lot longer time due to the device has to re-compile the whole thing before ROM start running and booting.
I think I need to drop a few lines about wipe cache/Dalvik.
As I posted above, I said it wiped clean.
Apparently, I am NOT 100% correct.
I just updated to nb198, wiped cache (formatting /cache) then wipe Dalvik cache.
After done updating ROM, booting up, I expected everything clean, completely fresh.
It's not the case, I went to Market and all old search history were still shown. Not only with Market but other apps too.
So
a. either wipe cache/Dalvik is NOT completely clean wipe or
b. it was completely clean but somehow, those old cache info, which stored somewhere I don't know, get automatically restored back.
Okay, I did a quick read of the FAQ for CWR, and came across these:
Wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
So, I'm taking this guide on board and will wiping Cache AND Davlik. So that's two steps prior to installing a new CM7 nightly build.

You didn't happen to store them in uSD card? Or perhaps app data/cache are separate from system data/cache...
Will look into it further...
Hey guys,
I used to have AOKP [v2.0] Build 31 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542302) and it flashed fine. Then today I checked again and saw Build 32 was out. So I thought I'd flash that.
I do the usual method, back up, format cache, format Dalvik Cache, then data/factory then flashed Build 32.
So when the tablet restarts it still has all my previous applications and setting also lots of apps started to force close.
So I went back to recovery and decided to do the usual again but this time restore the back up I created.
When this backup gets to 'restoring data' is says invalid and stops.
So this time I try to flash 'Android Revolution HD 3.2.0' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892) doing a Super Full Wipe.
Booted into it fine however my apps are still there.
Now I can't seem to go back to AKOP Build 31 nor get rid of any apps, it just force closes.
How can I resolve this issue? I've been stuck at it for hours
In CWM, go to "Mounts and Storage" options and do /mount and /format for data, system, and cache. Clear dalvik-cache and flash AOKP.

Ok here's the step by step guide:
1. Download this recovery, partition and rom place it in your root of your external sdcard.
2. Go to recovery then choose the recovery zip from your sdcard and flash it.
3. In the recovery itself go to advanced->reboot recovery.
4. When the recovery is rebooted make a factory reset, wipe partition cache, wipe dalvik cache.
In the recovery go to mounts and storage and wipe system, data and cache.
NOTE: While installing from sdcard in new recovery it will show you like /sdcard0=(external memory card) and /sdcard1=(internal storage).
5. Flash the partition from your sdcard. (Most probably the sdcard0.)
6. Reboot recovery.
7. Flash the ROM.
Happy Flashing......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

How do I flash from L To a custom AOSP KITKAT？ Do I need to flash the factory image at first or I just boot into recvoery and flash the cutom rom?Did anybody know? THX!
To be safe, you'd do a factory image flash. That way you know you have a good starting point. There's the boot image, including the ramdisk, and radio (depending on what platform you're running on) that would have changed.
Or, if you're feeling lucky, clean wipe and flash your new ROM. What's the worse case scenario? You have to do it twice.

The safest way is
Download L port
factory reset once
wipe cache dalvik
flash ROM
wipe cache and dalvik again
reboot
done,
Gapps included.
I never got problem with these steps.

Hey,guys,I have just ask the L's developer ,he said that the L he developed uses the same baseband and bootloader as the Kitkat,so there is no need to flash a factory image at first , instead ,we can just directly flash the Kitkat aosp ,Thanks for his kindness!

That's what he meant. Format system and data. You'll find that option on the custom recovery.

You just need to get a flashable one and your good to go. Just wipe system, data and caches and flash it. I tried both ways by recovery and by script and its the same experience. But if you follow the script and flash through PC you'll surely lose all your data.
I have a weird issue with my N9005 (hlte). I just got it new and am still a little inexperienced with flashing it. Preblem occurs when flashing ANY CM12 based rom. Flashing works well with TWRP 2.8.5.0 but once Android booted just after enetring my PIN the display turns off and I can't do anything and have to hard reboot my phone. CM11 runs without any issues
I'd relly like to go for CM12 so any help will be appreciated.

I performed a full wipe before flashing. Any advantages wiping again, once flashed?

If you read installation instructions from temasek it says clear dalvik and cache. For good measure. No full wipe after flash. Only cache and dalvik
If i full wipe my phone after flashing ... i got no System at all ...
It looks like -> this <-

Haha I did correct myself and told you to not full wipe after flash. Only do that before flashing. Wipe dalvik cache and cache after flashing.
Do a clean install and try again. Full system, data wipe and caches in recovery. Use twrp doing that. Then flash and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot. Use the latest build 8.7
