I tried to do a Nadroid restore, but after restoring all I get is an endless bootloop. I did a complete wipe before restoring, so I can't think of what can be going wrong. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Fwiw I'm using clockwork for my recovery.
Did you try pulling the battery?
I had the same problem. I posted yesterday, but no reply.

How do you wipe cache and dalvik from bootloader? When in bootloader the only option I see is data wipe.
in recovery mode then to wipe make sure u do it twice to the 3 of them if not it will happen again'

I searched and didn't find the answer. I perform a dalvik cache wipe via Clockwork and I don't get any confirmation it did anything. It just sends me back to the previous menu screen. Is this normal?

which version? the older versions of clockwork had a bug that it didnt actually work to clear dalvik but if you update to the newest one available it does now (easiest way is just to install rom manager and let it update it for you)
mine doesn't show anything either. it pauses for a few seconds though so i'm assuming that it does it i've got 2.5.0.1 which i think is the newest one for the EVO.
I have ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
It says it's the latest version
Mine does the same thing
What's a few extra seconds to make sure the dalvik is emptied?

On the Evo, the Dalvik cache is located in the /data directory, which is itself completely wiped when you do a data wipe / factory reset. If you do this first, then try the Dalvik wipe, it will just go back with no pause or confirmation. If you try to wipe Dalvik before wiping /data, it may pause a bit longer (0.7 seconds, maybe) and then return with no confirmation.
Either way, if you do a /data wipe you will be wiping Dalvik, but upgrade CWM if you're worried about it.
So I rooted my phone for the dumbest reason...so I could take screen shots lol anyways, it's been freezing up with the texting and stuff. I was wondering if there is anyway to unroot it. Please someone help.
That's a funny reason to root your phone.....anyway, just flash a stock rom. Make sure you wipe first.

What is wiping
Boot into recovery (hold volume down and power at the same time, after white bootloader screen appears, select recovery), now in recovery select wipe data/factory reset, then select wipe cache, then select advanced, then wipe dalvik cache - wiping dalvik is optional in clockworkmod, since it is already wiped in the previous steps (this is the menu and steps for clockworkmod recovery, RA recovery is similar)
Anytime you flash a new rom or kernel, wiping gives you a clean slate helping prevent future issues.

Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

***FORMAT /SYSTEM*** (under mount in CWM I believe)

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!
Hello all, I started off using the toolkit. I used the ALLINONE. Everything went perfect I rebooted and had root and all. Then went into Clockwork and that was there to. Everything was perfect. Choose a rom and now everytime I try to install it, it never opens. It just keeps boot cycle or does it take more then 10 mins to boot?
Please help
The backup I made now doesnt support the MD5? and I cant get any stock roms to flash in odin.
Please help
Thanks
Did you do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing the ROM? Sounds like you skipped that step. Do as I said above then flash rom, you should be golden.

Pretty sure i did this but ill try again one sec!
just wipe data factory reset, and wipe dalvik cache and regular cache. it should work after that.
when you wipe the system or do a full wipe does that remove the TWRP recovery mode. I wiped to go to a new ROM before but I could not get back into TWRP recovery menu and had to re-install it all over again. IS this the case every time you wipe the system?
No, wiping system only wipe the ROM. I did run into the same problem once with an older version of TWRP. Haven't had any problems with TWRP 2.6.3.1 yet(knocking on wood)

Short answer, no. It is highly abnormal for the recovery image to be wiped/corrupted from a reset/wipe. But then again, twrp has seen its fairshares of hiccups. Maybe it was just a fluke, luck of the draw.

Whenever I flash roms or restore nandroid backups, I always do a factory/data reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Then I proceed to flash. Never had any problems. Sorry that you had to redo everything :-{
