I am using RA-Supersonic-v2.3 and im not use to the stuff i need to delete on the supersonic recovery mode. to the HTC hero to the HTC evo the list is alot bigger.
if this safe to wipe or am i missing something. Just asking so I don't screw anything up. I always nand back up.
[x] ALL userdata/factory reset
[x] CACHE:
[x] DALVIK-CACHE:
[x] DATA:
[ ] SDCARD: .android_secure
[ ] BOOT:
[ ] SYSTEM:
[ ] SDCARD
[ ] SDEXT
[ ] DATA:battery stats
[ ] DATA:rotate settings
also is Cache safe to wipe at anytime without having to reflash the rom, mod, and theme? i did see some people have issues and wiping the cache also helped fixxed some issues.
If your flashing a new ROM, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and SD:ext.
If your flashing a mod or kernel, wipe cache, dalvik, and SD:ext.
If your switching between Sense and ASOP ROMs and find out you have unexplained issues, wipe system as well. (I haven't needed to do this yet)
Don't forget to do multiple nandriod backups, just in case 1 of them is corrupted.
Enjoy.
Edit: Yes, flashing cache can be done anytime.
thank you very much. im currently having issues flashing roms. 3 diffrent roms keep coming up with this cant find country location and now im having issues with the google setup it keeps crashing and the home launcher doesnt load. keeps crashing as well.
Hmmm, I guess I've been lucky. I haven't had any problems yet with flashing ROMs. I make a point to religiously wipe (multiple times even) before flashing.
I've heard of possible issues with AMON_RA 2.3. I don't use it, but that's the general feeling I get from reading that thread.
Here is a bootloader image of AMON_RA 2.2.1 (its labeled as PC36IMG), load it on your SD card in the root folder. When bootloader comes on, it will scan and find this image automatically. Allow it to run and it'll give you 2.2.1.
I'd try that. Then wipe and flash using 2.2.1; see if that gets you to a working system.
@coiledwire
thank you for the tip there. but it failed also. it fails to load any rom the second i flash slayer69 dragon. sucks too. maybe its cause i used unrevoked3
You also want to be wiping system and boot between new roms, that is most likely what's causing it.
Here is a nice little zip that wipes in one swoop, flash it like a rom when going to a new rom:
http://db.tt/RtRcDLr
Its just a little script that makes wiping easier.
And I use amon 2.3 no problem so that's not the issue.
so with this i dont need to wipe anything else??? just flash that and it formats for me?
Correct, it simply wipes system, data, cache, dalvik, and boot through the zip.
awesome i will test that out and i will let u kno the outcome. and thank you!
EDIT: ok well the format.zip ROCKS..... but... the theme still didnt work. i can see the status bar but. the launcher just doesnt exist. its a solid black screen with the status bar. ive tried rebooting and still doesnt work.
idk if its cause the way im doing it or what.

I used unrEVOked3 also and I haven't experienced any of the problems you are.
Your theme zip file may be corrupted from downloading. I don't know if where you downloaded lists the correct md5 checksum or not. If they do, compare the one you have to the one they give. If they don't give you the correct checksum, download the theme twice and compare the checksum against each other.
If you're using a windows system, search for a checksum program. I don't remember the name of it, but I installed a free one that added that data to the properties window.
ok so if i do that, how do i deal with it after. cause ive downloaded the file 7 times and tried them all. even unrooted my phone and rerooted. tried 3 different recoveries. idk if using EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip
would cause it.
Is it possible the theme is incompatible with the rom?
Usually a theme replaces the rom's framework-res.apk, and if they are not compatible, you basically overwrite necessary files in that apk which will result in errors/problems.

I don't think that radio flash would cause your themed launcher from appearing. Just be careful with flashing radios, as its one of the few things that have a high chance to brick your phone if something goes wrong.
Generally you want to make sure any files downloaded aren't corrupt and you wipe before flashing. Some ROMs like to be flashed and booted into before applying any themes, while other ROMs need to have the theme installed before the 1st boot into the OS.
Seems like you're having a specific issue with the theme. I would check that theme's thread and see if anyone there has any insight for you. Sorry I can't be more help than that. Good luck.
ok well thank you for the replies. but as for the issue. the odd part is i rooted and flashed myn's warm rls5 and then the slayer69 cyan dragon theme and it loaded perfect. well i unrooted cause i had to bring the phone back to to issue. the sprint guy forgot to take the LED chip out of the white back when he put the red back on.
after that i re rooted and flashed the stuff the same way and ever since its been this way.
I use Amon RA recovery 2.3 with no issues.

Hey since we are on the topic of wiping stuff.
Anyone willing to send me the Format All zip? I have searched this forum like mad trying to find it, and I found a link for it (or so I thought) and it was broken. Figured I would ask here instead of making a new thread asking.

OKAY! so i searched key words but couldnt find anything in particular under MT3GS... anyways, i flashed from cm7 nightly 60something to cm7.0.3. usually i dont have to wipe anything, everything transfers over fine. when i came to i was getting errors with my music app so i used clockwork manager to fix permission. although it went through the whole list, it comes up with an error to get privilages or something. i thought it was 7.0.3... luckly, i backed up my previous version so i decided to restore it so i wouldn't have to deal with all those errors. when it came to, now im getting the 'welcome to t-mobile... 'touch the android to begin' screen... only problem is im touching the android but nothing is happening. i wiped my data/cache/ext and it wont work. i even tried flashing 7.0.3 clean but still no avail. please someone help.
EDIT: nevermind... i got it... i just had to reflash the gapps... doyyyyyyyyyyyy. good morning everyone =P
uhhhmmm ok this is awkward... but the problem jus escalated. i was able to sign into my google account but now im getting errors with 'framework' or something and then the setup wizard FC on me?! i didn't even know that was possible.. looks like im in deep doodoo. help? please?
They clearly stated DO NOT FLASH 7.0.3 OVER THE NIGHTLIES. IT WILL HOSE YOUR SYSTEM.
Sorry for all caps but I had to get my point across. Try fix permissions and if that doesn't work, guess you gotta restore a nandroid or do a full wipe.
Yes it is very possible to have framework problems and setup wizard to crash. I could not tell you what causes it exactly. Have you tried redownloading all files you're attempting to flash? Bad downloads CAN cause such problems.

wow i dont know how to post from multiple quotes O_O
anyways... i figured it out. i ultimately was hoping to flash without wiping my data because i had data2ext enabled so wiping also cleans out the sdext.
anyways i did not know we couldn't flash over a nightly because rom manager doesn't support those kind of notes, thanks for the emphasis though.
also i believe it was a bad download, seeing how i downloaded directly from rom manager rather than on my laptop. i reflashed my nightly 55 and seems to work again. strangely reflashing 69 had the same setup wizard errors.
so thanks for the input.

OK, so before I flash to Infamous I have a question on what I can do to stop random apps from uninstalling themselves! I just noticed tonight that Google Sky is no longer installed on my phone as well as a few others. This has happened before but with different apps.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Currently my phone is rooted, backed it up via computer (click and drag) and then backed it by rebooting in to recovery.
Would fixing permissions take care of this issue?
Next question!
Installing Infamous (not to keen on the TouchWiz though..), do I need anything else other than the .zip for the rom? Saw a few posts saying I would need a different radio in order to get service/data, is this not included in the rom?
Anything else I would need to make this rom work?
Thanks.

In regards to your apps disappearing.. Are you installing them to your SDcard? If you are then they will be poofed while you have your phone connected USB and storage mounted. I heard of this randomly occurred in another thread (used search) and no one seemed to have any other ideas.
As far as the radios go, Mr -X- has this thread with the latest ICS radios which would probably work best with any of the ICS roms out now. Make sure you flash the radios before flashing the rom.
Good luck, hope this somewhat helped. Remember that on XDA Search is your friend and most issues other people have experienced and already have answers elsewhere, just requires some digging..
Hey I got my phone rooted, so I installed Titanium Backup, and then I uninstalled the stock browser, the download manager, and also android.downloader or something like that. And I broke my phone - now Google Play just crashes instantly.
I've tried reinstalling the firmware, and resetting to factory, but it's still the same.
Is there anything I can do, other than take it back to the store?
Help!!!!!
EDIT: It gives the error "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
did you do a nandroid backup?> if not we need to know the exact application you deleted. future reference DONT DELETE. just freeze then its just a simple unfreeze and a freeze also stops the app from running. you will not get more available memory by doing this because this is on a different partition. Also never delete or freeze anything referring to com.android they are core funtions that are required for your device to run properly.
You deleted a process?!
My money would be that android.download or whatever process you deleted was required for Google Play to work. Hopefully you made a Nandroid before modifying processes. If not, you'll have to flash a stock ROM to get it back.
Alternatively, if you backed up system data with Titanium Backup, you might be able to find the process in there and restore it.
Echoing drksilenc, don't uninstall things through Titanium Backup unless you're positive it won't mess something up. How can you be positive? One, deleting processes always causes problems. Even freezing them can be messy. Don't do it. Two, in the case of an app, you'll know it's ok if you've had it frozen for a week or so and the phone hasn't acted up. Even with system apps, though, I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling. It's safer, and you never know if you might want/need that app again.
It gets worse.
I went down to the Bell store (my phone's actually from Bell, but they're similar to the AT&T ones, right?) and they wouldn't exchange it. So I tried going into the Clockwork Recovery, and wiped all of the little folders in "Advanced Settings." Because I noticed that Bell's add-on apps kept coming back, why weren't the other ones I deleted? And now it's a useless brick, says SAMSUNG and that's it.
Brand new one-day old superphone, totally wrecked. I don't even think there are any stock ROM's out there for this thing yet.
I'm a meathead.
I'll try reinstalling the firmware again that I did before, maybe I'll get lucky.
Nope, still nothin'.
So now I'm going to do something really crazy. Somebody on the interwebs says you can flash the SGH-1317M with the stock rom for the GT-N7105. Says it's the same thing except it's the international version and that it's even better.
I went to samsung-updates.com and searched for the Note 2, and sure enough, it's on their list of ROMs for the Note 2. So I'm downloading the GT-N7105, and I'ma gonna install it, unless someone here tells me different!

Any rom in our dev section should fix you try clean rom ans stop using titanium vackup. Why are you debloating roms when devs did it for you already and obviously you see you have no clue what you're doing?

Just flash any rom in the android development section usinf twrp or cwm, it will rebuild /system and fix any issues. In the future dont delete or uninstall system apps, just freeze them if you think yiu dont need it. Freezing stops the app from running ans taking up any cpu or memory so its almost as good as deleting (it still technically takes up space but this phone has plenty of space) with nine of the dangers. If something stopped working like play store, youvcan defrost the apps yiu froze easy enough.

Sadly, failure
I downloaded CleanROM Lite 1.0.zip, put it on the SD card, and used Clockwork Recovery to install it. The installation went without a hitch, but trying to boot the phone, all I get is the SAMSUNG logo still. So I did a factory reset, wiped the cache, wiped the Dalvik cache, and did "fix permissions", but it's the same.
So I'm downloading the other ROM ("Stock Root - De-Odex") and will try that presently.

These roms take a while to boot how long did you wait. Look you didnt break your phone from deleting apps just flash the rom and wait it will boot. Remember these roms are 750-800 mb worth of data to boot not 250mb like aosp roms, takes few mins to boot

You might have been right. I'm so used to it just freezing up that maybe I wasn't patient enough and just assumed.
But it works now! I flashed the Stock ROM, and it booted up with no problems. Then I flashed the lite one again, and it works too. So now I'm going to try the other ROM on the dev page, see how it looks.
And it's still rooted, so hooray!
Thanks for all your help.
you REALLY need to do ALOT more READING, and ALOT LESS Flashing...
I'm suddenly having storage issues with every ROM that I flash after running a ROM with some script that isn't widely used.
First I'll give you a brief idea of my problem. I"m running out of storage and get notifications from the market saying as much after I download and reasonable amount of apps. The thing is... It show's I have used 738MB of ext4 out of 1.5 so that isn't the issue. The problem is internal memory. My phone won't move dalvik cache for some reason. When I run any ROM with a2sd or m2sd they both say that there is a problem and leave the dalvik cache where it is.
I think my internal folders are jacked up from 40ad2sdx or a zip that was used to clear memory before the ROM. There was a ext4 superwipe cleaner to load before the ROM. I did that without researching first. When I did go looking for the thread about it, it plainly said that it was for one phone only, and it wasn't my phone. I believe it was the Galaxy S3, but I can't be certain. It was a week ago. It was advised not to use it on any other phone because part of what it did was reset the internal folders. Does this mean I can now flash a ROM for the galaxy s3? Lol Just kidding.... Seriously, the second part is all my speculation and I have been wrong many times concerning android. Will somebody help me get my phone back in oem condition please?
Okay, I'm not even sure what you did here, because not knowing the script, anything could have happened.
Try wiping everything and flashing stock rooted here, then go from there with other roms after that.
If that doesn't work. Here's what I would do. It might be a major pain, but it is almost a surefire fix.
Unroot and return to stock, then root again.
[UNROOT]
[ROOT]
For future reference, NEVER flash anything that is meant for another device. (Obviously, if it's a port then you're ok.)
ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Backup your SD card, and wipe that puppy clean!! Only partition using Amon-RA recovery, otherwise it will screw you up quite often. I repeat, if you do not have the partition done correctly, then odds are that A2SD or equivalent won't work.

I did the wipe and flash to stock earlier today, then flashed the Pac man ROM but the issue is still there. I had looked at unrooting my phone earlier today also. I'm glad to read this because it lets me know that I do have some idea of what to do. Thanks for the reply. I'll post here again with the results. Check back soon.
EDIT----> Man, my phone is okay. I loaded up a fairly recent ROM by Tronit, and it worked fine. It was the ROMs. Just to be sure, I went back to the last two ROMs just to see, and they did the same thing again. Now I'm on the AOKP Unnoffical and it's working just fine. The a2sd is working perfectly like it should, and my dalvik cache is moving to ext4. It was just coincidental that the last three ROM's I loaded all have issue with the a2sd. It's funny how nobody else see's problems but me. I looked in the bin file of one of them and it's missing part of the a2sd file. The other two have weird init.d files that I don't know anything about. I'm assuming the a2sd problem is related to that. It's funny how I see lots of problems, and report them, but I get blown off by some people as a noob who is making mistakes. I am a noob, and I do make mistakes, but I know some of my theories about problems are correct...... I gotta get me some respect by compiling my own ROMs.
Status update..... My phone is jacked up for sure. It does work with the AOKP Unofficial by Tronit, but this morning when I cleared my cache with Smelkus Recovery, it had major problems with almost every app. Clearing the cache in recovery is something I've done with every ROM and this has never happened. I uninstalled all the apps and reinstalled them. Got them working again. Everything seemed to be okay. However, when I cleared my cache with Android Tuner, again it ruined every app. I've used android tuner every day for two months to clear the cache and never had problems like this. Something is very wrong.

Long story short, I flashed something made for another phone. I can't explain why I did this without taking up lots of pages, and it doesn't even matter really. Lets just focus on the solution. Here is the link. I flashed both of the zips in the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
So I think my permissions for the files on my phone are out of whack. Is that what I"m reading is the possible outcome of flashing these if your phone is not the one listed? Please post your thoughts. I need them.

I did that. Both with Smelkus, and Mini partition wizard. Same problems. I just tried to fix permissions with smelkus 4.3 on the AOKP Unofficial ROM and it took a minute for it to do it's thing. The line of dots was two full rows. So when It loaded back up, I suddenly see the same disk Icon in my notification bar, and now this ROM says it it out of memory. Man, it was working fine. I had twenty more apps on it too and I uninstalled them. It was working fine then, so with twenty less apps, it shouldn't suddenly say "Running out of Storage space."
I have told you this already: Please do not flash things meant for other phones, it could mess up. If it's meant for another device, it might screw yours up. To stay on the safe side: If it's not generic (works for every Android phone) or phone specific (exclusive to the Evo 4G) then don't flash it.

I flashed this about a eek ago, when I was looking for the ext4 wipe. I thought it was the same thing as another zip despite what it said. Stupid... I know. I think this may be the cause of my problems, but I can't be sure. I don't know at all really. Just speculations. I reflashed the CWM touch and used to flash a stock ROM. Gonna try that again. I ran the test on CWM touch and it said that the
/sys/class/android_usb/android0 was missing and unable to perform the test. Can this be the cause of my problems?
Don't beat yourself up man, it was an honest mistake, just learn from it and you'll be alright.
Now the optimal recovery for this device would be the Amon-RA recovery, and I recommend redoing what I said in my first post once you have Amon-RA installed. Amon-RA is an awesome recovery, and it's super easy to install. Check out this easy-to-follow video on how to install by clicking here.
Do that, then do what I said in the previous posts. Let me know what happens, because I'm almost certain this should work.

I was finally able to get my phone straightened out. I loaded up a stock ROM then decided to use my SD Maid to look around. I found a file with completely different dates on it, but it wouldn't let me remove it. I ended up copying everything else in the subfolder and then deleted the parent folder. Then added everything else back. Wah lah.... magic. I don't know what that file was or where it came from but it was killing my internal memory. I'm wondering how it stayed from ROM to ROM. I dunno, but it's gone, and the Pacman ROM is lovely now. BOOM!!!!

Whatever I did only fixed part of the issue. I'm left with in a situation where every time I go into recovery my downloaded apps stop working. It is cutting part of them off whether I clear cache or not. All I have to do is power off into recovery, and when I reboot, all of my downloaded apps begin giving messages that "Unfortuately such ans such has stopped." My phone becomes inoperable. The only way I can keep it working is to send a new launcher to my phone from the market, let it install, then open it up and uninstall all the downloaded apps. I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix for someone like you Mancuso. I have a logcat and it show LOTS of errors that I have never seen before on any of my other logcats. What are my options? Tell me what to do to get my phone back to absolute OEM and then I'll reroot. UNLESS you know of some fix.
I've supplied a logcat from Catlog if you or anybody else wants to have a look. I'd really appreciate some help here. I love my Evo and I love learning this stuff. If somebody can help me positively identify the problem, I can most likely figure it out from there. Please give me your suggestions here. I'm nothing without some guidance on this. It's way out of my scope.
I've included a link to the ext4 script wipe that I used. How I got to this page, I do not know. However, I ran it because this page said it COULD POSSIBLY work on other phones despite the fact that it was made for another phone.

And I flashed both zips from the thread that the story links users to. Here is the link for the two zips.

I'm not sure this is the problem. I'll try to find the Vold.fstat thread that I tried on my own before you came up with the 40ad2sdx solution for the MIUI ROM.
This is the memory fix I tried as mentioned above.

Please note that you see before and after pics of sd storage. You can see that my pics clearly resemble the after pics shown in this thread. I believe this is my problem. How can I undo this?
This post reflects the only things I did outside of normal flashing. My problem is here somewhere...
The fix you used is for samsung devices. That could have caused your problems.
