Older miui version have issues with theme manager. I tried 3 and worked only on one of them (beleive last pne but not sure). Theme must be .tmz or .tzm -,not zip and does NOT install with flashing like sense.

i got it to work.....I appreciate the help!!
Just for future reference, it never hurts to clear your cache or dalvik. I do it whenever I flash anything...or sometimes just because it's been a month since I have rebooted.
is there any benefit to clearing your cache or dalvik after deleting anything from the sdcard?
or should this be done regularly?
Just curious.
Thanks.

Here's the way I think of it...some flashable things require it (and usually say somewhere), but you don't HAVE to do it if your phone is operating normal, and your not flashing anything...BUT, it never hurts to...and the rest is me just being anal.

I searched all over
You just didn't use enough question marks.

What recovery are you on?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Vital? You don't need a super wipe. And you only need the cache wipe if you're using CWM5. If you don't know how to properly wipe..
1. Wipe Factory data reset
2. Wipe cache
3. go into mounts and storage
4. Wipe system
5. Wipe data
6. Wipe cache
7. Go to advanced
8. Wipe dalvik cache
Simple eh? Is this your first device? Super wipe scripts are very uncommon. Better that you learn how to do it the old fashion way for your next handset than rely on a shortcut.
But... if you insist. Google the derek jay source forge. Its in there in dark side tools. There's a reason he discontinued them.

Well I guess the Koodo version of this phone is **** because Ive done a factory wipe twice and wiped the system partition twice then wiped cache and dalvik twice each then flashed PA ROM and CM10 and neither of them will go past bootloop, but hey aokp works fine except for random reboots and rare sod's.
Just saying, I know what Im doing btw guy

Ive always been a CWM guy.. but TRWPs wipe is much more convenient. All wipe options are on the same screen and they work pretty quick. There's a flashable zip somewhere in the twrp thread. Flashing it through goomanager is a pain. Also how exactly are you wiping? The only way I know to get a boot loop is to wipe your cache and dalvik after flashing the ROM or you're on CWM 5.0.2.7.

Unfortunately cwm restores do not work with twrp.. That may be a deciding factor in which recovery you use..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
First off if you're on ANY recovery that isn't CWM 5.0.2.7 you DO NOT NEED TDJS SUPER WIPE OR CACHE WIPE SCRIPTS!!!! Seriously stop flashing these people you're filling up threads with problems caused by both of these scripts and bad flashing methods. Here's how to PROPERLY flash a ROM..
If on CWM 6.0.x.x
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )
If you're on a Cyanogenmod nightly a full wipe IS NOT REQUIRED. The proper method of dirty flashing is just wiping cache, ( NOT FORMAT CACHE IN MOUNTS & STORAGE )
wiping dalvik and flashing your ROM. Simple as that.
If using TWRP 2.2+ the steps are essentially the same or use TDJs wipe scripts. They work perfectly fine with TWRP. Feel free to wipe 2x or even 3x if it makes you feel safer about your installation.
And THAT'S IT. People are cluttering up threads with issues than can totally be avoided by flashing the right way. I hope this helps some of you iron out these insane tiny quirks I keep reading about.
Happy flashing folks.
EDIT:
I forgot to note.. if you're still using one of TDJs roms or any other rom that automatically wipes with TDJs SUPER CACHE WIPE, do NOT use any other recoveries other than CWM 5.0.2.7 or TWRP 2.2+. With any other recovery such as CWM 6.0.x.x+, the wipe script breaks the roms ability to reboot properly and the only way to solve this is to use TDJs CACHE WIPE which in turn breaks your recoveries ability to work properly.

Thanks man this was needed. Yes threads get filled with this so often. I dirty flash like you mentioned accept I format system first. I also clean flash like you mentioned but never formatted cache and dalvik just system. That's good to know. Thanks
But I will add those new steps. I format system when dirty flashing because on the cm10 Site they mentioned that.
Again thanks

Sad we need to keep telling people how to flash. If you are not sure what you are doing I think you should be very careful before you destroy your expensive toy. Everyone should have an idea on how to flash and restore from a bad flash before they even root. Also as my sig says let Google be your friend people if you run into issues instead of running to a thread and clogging it up...
Thanks for post and this is a bump to keep it on page 1 and hopefully more people will notice it.
So I messed up and used the darkside scripts with 6.0.1.4 and I can't get my phone to boot, like you mentioned. It also destroyed the recovery, does nothing at all. What can I do, if anything, to fix?

Can you boot into recovery at all? If you can.. download the TWRP 2.2.2.0 zip in its thread and flash it. Its going to hang in the install process but should say twrp has been installed. At that point reset your phone by holding the power button. As soon as you feel the phone vibrate hold down both volume buttons and you should boot into TWRP recovery.

Darkside superwipe will only mess your ROMs ability to reboot on touchwiz ROMs. The only way to fix this is flashing the darkside cache wipe which WILL break clockwork mod 6.0.1.4 like the user above. Point is.. don't use either scripts at all on CWM. Wipe the old fashioned way.

I agree. even after switching to twrp I still find the script useful. But op warning about using script with cwm version 6xxx might be true. I have issue with boot when i was on cwm 6 and i had to Odin cwm 5.0.2.7 again to get into recovery menu.

I just followed this and it answers many questions. I have great luck with CWR 5.0.2.7 and the darkside scripts. Everytime I had an issue, I would run the darkside cache script and all was fixed.
Now, since I upgraded CWR, I have had issues installing ROMS, bad recovery installs, etc. Just as you mentioned.
Got a new phone today. Flashed an odin CWR (didn't know the version). It turned out to be an older touch version. I CWR flashed the latest Sk8's recovery. I then followed your instructions. Installed JB ROM and Gapps and it was a success. Not boot loop.
Questions: What do I do if I want to wipe cache and dalvik or fix permissions in the future? What radio is recommended with the latest JB nightly?

Just go into CWM and wipe cache in the main menu and dalvik in the advanced menu. To be honest though you don't need to do this whatsoever. Only when dirty flashing a new nightly. In my experience atleast lol as far as gapps go..

THIS IS ONE QUICK/SIMPLE ERROR FREE ROM FLASHING PROCEDURE
This should eliminate a few posts saying, stuck in download mode, stuck at logo. just vibrates and them MANY other issues that somehow, everyone seems to find.
Here is my quick rom flashing process I use ALWAYS (yes always)
THINGS YOU NEED ON extSDCARD
1. Extra kernels (2 or 3 you know works for your device)
2. Optional: 2 recoveries that can be flashed (I use CWM & TWRP)
3. Optional: apps.zip (a zip created from Titantium BU, containing Root Explorer, TU Backup, Quickpic, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator)
Flashing the rom: TOUCHWIZ/AOSP ROMS
1. Backup current rom (to the extsdcard)
2. Complete wipe, (I do complete, some people do not) Complete = No Issues [FACTORY RESET + CLEAR CACHE + CLEAR DALVIK CACHE + CLEAR DATA]
3. Flash the rom
4. Flash the kernel (your device kernel) (I know some roms have their own kernel) this is where your problems start.
AGAIN: FLASH YOUR KERNEL, you KNOW it works. 1 more time FLASH YOUR KERNEL. (you can experiment with other kernels after you boot)
AOSP ROMS - require you to flash gapps before you boot. [This is not required for TouchWiz roms]
5. Boot the rom.
FINISHED!!!! SUCCESS!!!
Total time to flash a rom:
7-10min
Errors - NONE
This goes for every rom in my guide.
TIPS:
This flash procedure is for Touchwiz Roms, if you are flashing AOSP roms, you must flash the gapps package associated with the rom you are flashing.
**** SGH-I337M Users: Often requires flashing a different kernel than the one included in most ATT ROMS. Any GT-i9505 kernel will work and Adam kernel and Faux kernel are both confirmed working for us Canadian users.
Note: Flash KERNEL directly after ROM then reboot device.
[Special thanks to blyndfyre for this helpful tip].
The extra recovery I flash if a rom does not like the recovery I am using.
Yes, you can flash recoveries back and forth.
Apps.zip I flash after the rom is up & running. This I use to get the rom setup (like root explorer and others needed)
I am in no way responsible for anything that may do damage to any device - Use these tips at your own risk - period!

What is the entire process you are doing?
Are you wiping the system partition then installing a different ROm, without wiping data?
If so that explains it. The wallpaper is user data. So if you, for example, wipe the system parition of CM10 and install SlimBean which is based on CM10, the system will still look for the wallpaper in the same place. It will find your previous user data, and the wallpaper you had before will show up again.
However...don't do that. You're begging for problems. Not 'bricked phone' problems. But force closes and other settings conflicts from where the 2 roms arent' perfectly compatible.
This is my process for flashing a new rom
Step 1 reboot into recovery
Step 2 wipe system data
Step 3 wipe cache
Step 4 wipe dalvik
Step 5 format system
Step 6 flash rom
Am I doing it all wrong?

Not GS4 related but on my old GS2, TWRP would not wipe no matter what I did till I use a Superwipe script.
If you formatted your internal SD card, you shouldn't have any problems. What is the wallpaper that you see on both ROMs? Is it a wallpaper you downloaded? If so, where is it located? What recovery are you using? All this information should have been mentioned in your original post.

That's I've never had ANY issues with flashing my roms . Never had residual files or wallpaper left over. I use cwm touch recovery as I seemed to have Some issues with Twrp. Here are the EXACT steps I take EVERY time I flash a rom. First in recovery I wipe data factory reset, then I wipe cash and dalvik cash, then I install rom from external sd card. After those steps I reboot and I've ALWAYS been good to go. These are the ONLY steps I take when flashing my roms. Ive had several different rooted devices and have ALWAYS followed these simple steps. I have a 64 gig sd card and everything is perfect with it. Only time I formatted it was at first instalation. Never had any issues. I've been doing it this way for years. Wipe data factory reset,wipe cash and dalvik, install from external sd card, reboot. I know some might have different ways but ive ALWAYS been successful with this method. You might want to try just these four steps and see if your issue still persists. This way has ALWAYS worked perfectly for me. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. So only wipe data factory reset then wipe cash then wipe dalvik cash then install zip from external sd card and reboot. See how that works out for you. It should solve your issue. I really hope this helps. Best wishes. World's perfectly for me EVERY time.

Zedge saves to /sdcard/zedge. Backup your wallpaper to external, then (using CWM or Philz)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
format system
format sd card
wipe dalvik cache
Then flash your ROM. Backup anything you want to save on internal SD to external SD prior to formatting sdcard.

I'm not seeing you wipe user data at any point in this process.
Unless you mean the data partition when you say 'system data'.
Do this...
reboot to recovery
wipe and/or format...in one single step...system, data, dalvik, cache
flash new rom and any add ons (kernel, gapps, etc)
reboot
If the old wallpaper is sitll there then you've got a phone that's possessed by a poltergeist. Call the Ghostbusters.
Even with that Zedge app that you used to install your wallpaper, that shouldn't be showing up on first boot of a new ROM becaus ethe new ROM won't be looking for the Zedge app data until you install that app.
