Upgrading from Cyanogen 4.04 to 4.2.4 - Making sure I'm not doing something stupid...

[Synergy]

Okay, so I've been out of the loop for a while... I've fallen behind and I'm still running 4.04. Anyways, I am going to upgrade using these instructions:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...ss_than_4.1.99

Are you guys finding that a wipe is necessary? Also, if I do wipe, nothing happens to my apps on my sd, right? So when I load up android and sign in, they'll all be there?

thx

Just wipe, it won't touch the apps on your sd card. and make sure you download and flash both files like his wiki says to,

Didn't wipe and had no problems. Just use astro to back up your apps if you wipe, won't take over 30 m inutes to be back and running.

Well, the apps are on my sd card, so a wipe wouldn't get rid of them, right?

So you're saying that its just like updating to a new rom just with that added step of flashing the "recovery"?

yup . just the extra step . be sure you dont reboot after the htc 1.6 ! after flashing cm , you can reboot . or you will lose root and have to reroot .

So I did all the stuff and it rebooted into recovery? What do I do?

Edit: So I just did a nandroid restore. I don't really have time to be troubleshooting and potentially not having a phone for a day or so. In the meantime, can we try to figure out what went wrong?

And do a Nandroid backup before you do anything else It could save you a load of grief.

This week I had a problem with 4.2.3.1 and was able to flip back to official Donut 1.6 to see the week out until I had time to go back and re-do 4.2.3.1. In the end I restored 4.2.3.1 from the Nandroid backup I did of that, performed a wipe and it came up okay. Before that it would halt at a black screen after the Cyanogen Android flashscreen.

heh, I pulled a stupid, I upgraded from the pre-google-incident version and botched it (stuck at rogers logo) so, I restored and am trying again

Well, thats 4.2.3.1 restored and working successfully. Now updated to 4.2.4 - although I am a bit shocked that the available memory is now down to 41.72MB from 71MB under 4.2.3.1.

My internal memory went down too after the HTC 1.6 and new Cyan. I did a wipe about a month after that and the memory went back uo to normal.
