I tried to wipe with caulkins and vt superwipe, but when I select them on the SD card it runs for a moment then stops and says installation aborted. Is this supposed to happen? If not why would it not be working?

If I may, Calkulin's Format all and the other method, though nice, is not really necessary, especially if your recovery is amon RA 2.3....All you have to do is go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD card itself and you should be good to go afterwards.
As for your question, No, it it not suppose to state that. I am assuming you need to toggle the signature verification option to get them to flash, depending on your recovery & version.
And to add to what's already been said, Calkulin's format all is amend scripted (I believe), but Clockwork 3.x only supports edify. You could either flash an earlier version of CWM or Amon Ra - I'd suggest trying out Ra if you haven't yet - or you could use King's format all zip, which is the same as Calkulin's but with edify.
Thanks guys! I just ended up going in a wiping cache and davlik cache manually. I'm running CM7 Final with Tiamat. Still trying to get the gps fixed though.

Go into the CM7 thread. There, you will find numerous references to the GPS fix.

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!

Its 003, ive never had any problems at all before.
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

Thanks I'll give it a go. I hope this works.
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

good luck, i haven't had any issues with 3.0.0.5... yet
I've run into some issues as well. Went from Evervolv to my CM7 backup and when I restored the nandroid for CM7 the status bar was totally gone lol.
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

3.0.0.5 won't even boot for me. Rom Manager reports it as installed, but until I reverted to 2.5.1.2 I couldn't even get into recovery.

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.

That's the problem is that doesn't work. I found that doing the formats in mount and storage that I listed above and then wiping data, cache, and davlik solved my issues.

I tried a ROM update today (Magnolia) and my phone is now seriously slow (including SpeedTest which shows about 50Kbps download speed). I attempted to reinstall the same ROM and to restore a Nandroid (neither of which has helped). I did every wipe present in CWM v2.5.1.2 (I know v3.x.x.x is not a good wiper) and in HBOOT, also all to no avail.
It is possible that the ROM is focused on carefully updating itself rather than completely overwriting.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to the best way to really ensure that no old runaway processes are surviving the flashes (ROM or Nandroid)? I am wondering if flashing another ROM would do it (it wouldn't try to update), but am very open to suggestions.
Thanks!
I had the same problem when I would install a rom with the CW 3.0.0.8 and it will just update the current rom, and not do a full wipe like I just to get before with the CW 2.x.x.x what I have done to get a clean install is this...
- I dont use the Rom Manager no more to update...
- Boot into Recovery and do the Following before you install a new Rom..
1-) Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
2-) Wipe Cache Partition
3-) Install the Rom .Zip with CW
Thats how I have done it before hope it helps...
Dont use rom manager to install go into recovery. Do a factory reset twice, then goto mounts and storage and format manually, data, cache, system, boot. Do that twice or more and youre super wiped as you put it. But as far as magnolia goes...did you make sure that you dl'd the flashover and not the whole rom?

Pete - Thanks. I never use RomManager to do ANYTHING (and remain surprised that people do). I do factory reset and wipe in CWM but never formatted system; which I just posted in the Magnolia forum as being what I thought is causing all the trouble. At least this lets me know how to manually do it. Thanks

Building on this- I do EVERYTHING from recovery. In addition to the steps listed I also go to "mounts and storage" and wipe /system, /data, /cache, and /boot. Eradicate!

So I've been using Savage-Zen RC2 and was trying to flash a few ROMs over the past few days (SalvageMod1.2.1 and Savaged-Zen RC3) and I've notice that both will throw me into bootloops unless I flash gapps along with them. This makes me think I'm not getting a really thorough wipe through Amon_Ra and that I might need to try something different. Any suggestions?
I believe both of them inlcude other things in their Gapps. I know the Gapps files specific to those two ROMs are bigger than the standard one. Might be that it includes something that you need.
How are you wiping though? Did you try Calk's format all?
That should not be occurring. I am currently running SalvageMod 1.2.1 and it loaded fine before and after I flashes gapps. I usually flash the rom first, boot to my honescreen and then go back inti recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then flash gapps. I've never had a problem. If your recovery is RA v2.3, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself and then flash the SalvageMod 1.2.1 rom. After that, boot into your homescreen BEFORE flashing gapps. You should be able to do so. Also, make sure you use the gapps zip from the SalvageMod thread.

Actually I gave it a few more minutes because I had to step away from my desk and it was all good...if anyone could hook me up with calk's format all script it'd be much appreciated...googling returned nothing.
calk's is short for calkulin. Probably why. Have to flash it in Amon RA or Clockwork 2.5 or less though.

If you wipe everything in amon RA v2.3 wipe menu (the SD card being the exception) you should not have to use the format-all zip.

I figure it can't hurt. Either way I've gotten salvage to boot now so it's fine. Currently dealing with apps not installing after downloading them from the market. Any ideas?
Correct, but technically it's less wear on the hardware keys. Although I usually do both just to be safe so I'm really just killing my phone faster . Some people do have issues with it, although they may be having other things going on or a bad dl. I use it like every friggin day.
I think there was some residual stuff left over from Savaged-Zen, which I think is a fantastic ROM but not yet sturdy enough for prolonged daily use. Can't wait 'til it's finished...anyway
After running Calk's format all and wiping again I booted into Salvage with NO bootloops and NO market issues and all my old apps downloading automatically. Sounds like a winner.
Either way I'm gonna let the SZ guys know about this because it might be something on their end.
Go to applications in the settings Menu, find the market and clear the cache for it. If that doesn't help, wipe the data from the Market too.
Sorry, didn't realize you fixed it. That goes for all AOSP GB ROMs right now though. If the market doesn't work, clear the cache. Usually fixes it for me.
I have been trying to flash the new Gingerbread Sense v5.9.4 by RCMixHD. I am coming from my rooted Evo 4g with Cm7 Stable.
I have placed the .zip on my SD card, rebooted into recovery, wiped cache, wiped, davlik cache, and wiped data. I then flashed the .zip file, it went through everything, said it was installed, reboot, and enjoy. I reboot and It boots right back into Cm7.
I have tried this through Rom Manager wiping all data and cache with the same results.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm pretty new at this, and would love to know what I'm doing wrong or how to correct this problem?
Thanks!
What recovery are you using? If it is not amon RA v2.3, I highly recommend that you download and flash its PC36IMG.zip from the bootloader screen. Obviously, your current recovery is not wiping properly. Try again, but wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then flash the rom again.

Can I find that with the link to the Radio on your signature?
You can indeed use the link in my signature to download and flash amon RA v2.3 recovery.
