I remember someone telling me clockmod recovery had problems wipeing so i used amon but i got a new evo and just used the unrevoked 3.2 to root my evo and i forgot to use Amon and didnt realize till after the flash.
Just curious should i try and put Amon on or is clockmod fine?

Its a personal preference. I use clockworkmod recovery and have never had any issues, except with Fresh Roms. Besides that it has worked well with all of the other roms (I have tried nearly all of them).
hey thanks for the reply all right i don't mind what one i use as long as it works so i will stick with it.

As mentioned above, he did have any issue with Clockwork...except with....*sigh*
Amon works with everything with no issue. Amon recovery is the way to go.

yeah i have to admit i like amon cause u can mount threw usb while in recover to throw on roms because sometimes i get to excited and shut down my phone before i put the rom on...
Unless that feature is in clock but i didn't see it
Clockworks delvik wipe does not wipe delvik.. its a known problem.. use RA recovery..

this post from another thread taught me that rumors aren't necessarily fact
antiphon said:
ClockworkMod DOES indeed wipe the dalvik cache. I think the reason why many people are confused is that it only takes a second or two for the dalvik cache to wipe on CWM, whereas it takes longer on RA. However, the reasoning behind this is simple- most people wipe the cache partition before wiping the dalvik cache. When you wipe the cache partition, you are wiping everything on that partition, including the dalvik cache. So in essence, when people go to the Advanced menu in CWM to directly wipe the dalvik cache, they are essentially wiping a blank folder.
If you don't believe me, try this:
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Go to the CWM partitions menu and mount the cache partition
3. adb shell
4. cd /cache/dalvik-cache
5. Type "ls-a" and note all the files.
6. Exit adb shell
7. Wipe the cache partition in CWM
8. adb shell
9. cd /cache
10. Type "ls-a". This time there should be no dalvik-cache directory.

huh so u just have to wipe in a certain order? well thats a good thing to know.
Am wondering, as I cannot really remember, does it say that Dalvik was wiped with Clockwork? I noticed the night I was running into some issues with wiping, that after hitting to wipe Dalvik it never seemed to even say anything after. Would just sit there ... but I could understand about the order of wiping, but wouldn't it just immediately "wipe the blank" but still say done/complete?
That's when I realized something wasn't happening as I could have sworn before it said wipe complete or something. I may be wrong, but am only wondering. Was then I hit these boards and saw a post about clockwork not wiping Dalvik and I just figured that mine was having the same issues as whoever was talking about it that night.

Hope I dont get flamed for this one haha, but yeah, just like the title says. I'm not new to the flashing/rooting scene, I owned a D1 and currently a X, but I'm working on my friends EVO. He was upgraded to Froyo, so I downgraded him, rooted him, full NAND access. That was new to me, the NAND access. But I tried installing a rom (CM6), got an error. Only thing I can think of is I didn't perform a full wipe, because well i'm a little confused what is considered a full wipe for the EVO.
I use CWR for all my stuff, so I did the same with his. The dalvik cache and battery stat is new to me also, what are they and where are they located exactly within recovery? Also, some people posted that you should wipe the EXT, which is the sdcard, right? Can't risk the sd card, I could always back it up, but limited time on my hands.
So just for reference sake, can someone give me the exact details of a full wipe for the EVO (within CWR). Exact steps please.
Thanks for your time.
Also, how can you tell if you don't have full NAND access? Failure of installing a rom, I presume? lol
Going into hboot. Power + volume down when phone is turned off and hold till hboot pops up. Look on top and should say s-off. If so you are fully rooted and nand unlocked. If it says s-on security is still on and need to unlock still..
You should do delvik and cache wipe. Cwr delvik wipe doesn't work and advise get ra recovery in the market. Use Rom manager and flash clockwork on top of the list in program. Then scroll down and click flash other recovery. This will change Cwr to ra recovery.
So anyways you do delvik wipe and cache wipe. Then do a factory reset. Then go to install zip. And find cm6. Should work. Some people downgraded their hboot version to get to work but I didn't have to and did the downgrade for root also. But I did downgrade anyways after cm6 install. Supposedly it has more options?
When you go into recovery go through all the options and check where everything is. Takes 1 or to flashes to naturally know where everything is. Pretty simple.

You don't need to wipe the ext on SD card unless you partioned your card to do apps to SD. So.don't worry about that. Did you get the Rom working?

Hello everyone! I am trying to flash a new rom and I am at a loss. I have tried both Amon RA and Clockwork, and neither will fully wipe for some reason. I have been at this for quite some time and have never run into this problem. I am currently running Myn's rls4. I have s-off root and have tried both recoveries with no avail. It tries to wipe then stops al too quickly. Then even after attempting to flash another rom it boots into myn's as if i just flashed it. weird huh? any help would be GREATly appreciated! I hope it ok to post this here! Thank you in advance!

Take it you cleared all caches..reg and dalvik? Also might want to re download new ROM in case its a bad file for whatever reason and try it again.
And try wiping everything at least twice. I usually start with the Dalvik and Battery stats and then the data and cache partition wipes.

Yes I have cleared everything, and tried at least two different ROMs
Google "Calkulin's FORMAT ALL" & put the zip on your sd card & flash. It will clear everything. with the exception of dalvik, so you may want amon ra for that

Additional Info
Ok there is a little more info about the situation. Ive been running Myn's... rls4. I moved all my apps to the partition on my SD. I then decided to run the dalvik cache from there as well. Well, when I moved it (through the terminal) and rebooted the entire system FC'd, everything entirely. Well I wiped everything and went back to a nandroid backup. Ever since then Ive been unable to use Apps2sd, then I came to discover the recovery problem.
Format all did the trick! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!

I upgraded to the latest clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 and when I switch ROMs, I notice some of my item's are still "cached". For example, I was using Evervolv and then did a wipe of data, cache, and davlik, and flashed the RC1 for CM7. GApps are not packaged with either of these ROMs but when I booted up CM7 for the first time after flashing, GApps are installed, without me doing so. Is there an issue with the latest version of deleting cache or am I not doing enough wiping?

Ya I agree. I notices after wiping from nightly 38 to Cm7 RC1 all my settings and SMS and so on were still there. Odd...
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
It hasn't been fully wiping for me either. I've tried the setting from within ROM Manager as well as booting into recovering and manually telling it to wipe it. I also can't seem to back 3.0.0.5 out either.
the google backup service will restore some apps if you have it enabled in settings. by default it is enabled. this may be whats happening after your wipe.
I cant explain smokeey's sms messages tho
I understand google backup services but that would imply you have GApps installed, which shouldn't be after a full wipe and flash of new rom

Google Apps are stored in /system/app. Wiping /data and /cache won't erase them.
With CWM, it's best to go into Mounts & Storage, and format system there. Then flash the ROM.

That makes sense, I noticed that whenever a rom developer says that the wipe is scripted into the install or update that, that is what it does is format the mounts first.

I can't get the Warm Two Point Two rom to flash since I upgraded. Even after flashing other recoveries (2.5.1.2, and 2.5.1.8) I still have problems flashing other roms.
I went back to 2.5.1.2 from 3.0.0.5 I notice little "gliches" with the 3.0.0.5 that didnt make it worth the upgrade. on a side note. Evervolv rocks!!! lol

Do you usually do the format boot, system, data, cache, and then go and wipe data, cache, and davlik? I did the format from the mount & storage and it still kept my home screen options...

Go into recovery and do a Factory Reset which will format system, cache and data.. Then install the ROM via the install zip file option and you should be good to go.
I have been having that problem also. I was running MIUI and I wiped everything as usual and flashed Liguid Metal and MIUI backup, music, and gallery were all still in my apps list. So I wiped and flashed again, but they were still there and I was unable to uninstall them.
I ended going back to an older version of CWM so i could try a few other ROMs because there are still a many that are incompatible.
Can someone please pm me with a link to where I can find an older version of CWM recovery. I am having issues as well.

Hello I'm new to the forum .
Well my problem is that I installed this new rom, I use my evo as a modem I let it downloading some stuff trough the night and when I woke up all the ui was disorganized stuff was even like out of the screen. And I dint had any signal and the internet was not working had to change to roaming (I assume thats a company problem) but why did my rom went crazy, the ui...
Any help would be great, thanks.
I've never heard of a rom doing that before. My guess would be that everything didn't get properly wiped before flashing the rom. I would try to reflash it and be sure to clear all data, dalvik, cache, settings, etc. Which recovery were you using?
Well I rooted my phone very long ago, I dint really know what I was doing XD just followed instructions.
Just saw... ClockworkMod Recovery v2.6.0.1
This is the second time I reflash for the same reason.
I wiped dalvik cache, cache and data wipe. Only time will tell now.
The sad thing I have to re customize my ui and apps againg lol

I would take Jayharper's instruction's, and perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache). I would even flash Calkulin's Format all.zip. Then reflash the ROM. It does indeed sound as if something wasn't wiped properly, because I've never seen anything like that happen on any rom I've ever been on, and Koni's ran solid on my device. It's not typical.
Edit: I'm not sure if Calkulin's Format all.zip will flash with the recovery you're on. It may, because that is an older version of Clockwork. If the file doesn't flash, it's because it's not compatible with Clockwork recovery. If that's the case, you'd either need to switch to Amon Ra's recovery, or you could find "king's format all.zip" around the forum's here, which is flashable with Clockwork recovery. I still suggest using one of the two.
Yes I runned Calkulin's, I think i just forgot to do the data/factory wipe I did it now. If it comes up againg I will tell you. Thanksfor now

Yup. You can remove them. Just use a file explorer like astro, ES, root explorer, or even hook it up to your comp and locate the folder that says "nandroid" and select which folder to delete from there

I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. It is rooted with revolutionary and the s-off. I didn't root my device. I was playing with trying to install busybox from the busy box installer. It failed. But now that I have rebooted the phone(swapped a new battery on). It is stuck on the HTC EVO 4G white screen. I can get to the hboot screen and can get into recovery for Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4. I have tried some stuff. I'm here so it's safe to assume nothing worked. I have wiped the cache partition, I have tried the Fix Permissions option, Wiped Dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. I am knowledgeable with computers. Just not sure about this issue or which direct to go.
What can I do to get the phone back operational? Is there an image i can put on the sdcard and flash this thing with? I think I can manage that.
I'm so late in the rooting game here, there is so much information, not sure what I'm looking at. So I thought I would just go ahead and ask the questions. Maybe I won't get beat up too much and get pointed in the right direction.
I'm sure someone here can help you. A detail that you may have left out in your explanation is: what ROM you expect the phone to boot into.
Sounds like you just need to re-flash a ROM while you are in recovery.
Plenty of ROMs around here to choose from. I might recommend a very simple "stock" ROM for starters.
Later on, consider using a different recovery going forward. Evos historically have had issues with CWM. Try Amon Ra or SmelkusMOD...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Yup, I would recommend Smelkus after you fix this
Go into recovery and make a full backup first (this way you can advance restore data later)
Then, as suggested above, grab a stock rom and flash it through recovery (making sure to wipe EVERYTHING)
Last, try to boot up your phone. It should work
Once it does, restore any data if you need to...if not, flash SmelkusMod recovery and then flash your rom of choice
