Hey guys so I just flashed this rom on to my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175842
It looks amazing, but how do I get it to work without all the force closes?
Nils says this in the thread:
"If you choose to flash over without a wipe and have lags, FC's, things missing, or things just don't work right then flash again with a complete wipe"
What does he mean by a complete wipe? and how do I do this? Thanks everyone!
Use Rom manager(found in market) boot into recovery. You will see 2 wipe options Data and cache partition. Wipe both 3 times each. Still in recovery click on advanced. Wipe dalvick cache 3 times. Then install rom.
Full wipe

You don't need to wipe each thing 3 times; it's the same code executing, so once is perfectly fine.
anyway, like MagnaCore said, a full wipe is:
Factory Reset
Wipe Data/Cache partition
go to advanced
wipe system
wipe data
wipe dalvik cache
I think that's where they're located; can't remember 100% for sure tho.
I'd do what the poster above me said, and /system is actually in the "mounts and storage" menu in recovery.
Ah that's right couldn't remember where it was for sure. Thanks for the correction.
No problem. Always a good thing to remember to wipe,since it isn't covered by the wipe data/factory reset option. IMO it's better to be more thorough with WHAT you're wiping as opposed to doing it multiple times..

Exactly.
I usually do the factory reset, wipe data/cache, go to mounts, wipe system/data/cache again, and then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache; just to make sure I got everything.
Bmw, you have .92 hboot, yes? You'll find force closes with this if not.

So, I have searched all over XDA but still haven't found an answer. Is there any differences between these 3 methods or do they all do the EXACT same thing? Does the "wipe cache partition" wipe the dalvik cache?
Currently running stock 2.1 (1.47.651.1) and would like to do a COMPLETE factory reset and clear all caches before I upgrade to 2.2 OTA. Which one of these methods is the most thorough and complete?
1) settings -> privacy -> "factory data reset"
2) hboot -> "clear storage"
3) recovery -> "wipe data/factory reset"
4) recovery -> "wipe cache partition"
That's entirely uneccesary on a stock update.

You may consider it unnecessary but I would appreciate an answer to my questions.

Fair enough. Storage will wipe your sdcard iirc. I'm not sure if there's a way to clear the dalvic cache on stock. At least there was some confusion w/ clockwork where people were using it's "factory reset" option and it's version at least doesn't fully wipe that cache, it's separate.
In any case, the OTA is a bunch of patches for the most part. You can even find a text file in it with settings for its scripts to wipe the part that needs wiping.

I was on here late last night and was looking thru a thread and someone said when you wipe cache and dalvik you should do so several times. I had some issues with my phone the other day. Evidently my phone doesn't like being severely undervolted. Thank God for nandroid. Also system tuner pro was giving me fits to. So I decided to reflash my rom. I had been running faux kernel with the skyrocket mods. So I wiped data/ reset twice then wiped cache and dalvik twice . Flashed rom and fixed permissions twice. My phone is now smoother then its ever been. I'm not using fauxs kernel either. So the moral of the story is next time you flash or wipe. Make sure you do so a few times. Hope everyone had a great new year! !

Yeah I use to only wipe things once, but the past few roms I've been wiping everything 3 times with no problems that I would run into after only wiping once. I've also read a few people saying that after you wipe everything multiple times and flash your rom..flash the rom again directly after...not sure what exactly that does if anything, but a few do it. If anyone knows what exactly that does flashing the rom twice in a row please let me know. Not possible to have too many good habits if your a flashaholik lol.

Is there a superwipe script like there is for the sensation and the amaze it seems to work great. I always get a clean flash and it works great gives you one thing to do before you flash a rom and a clean install.

Ive never wiped cache and dalvik when flashing roms. Maybe I should. Can I do this now after the fact or would this erase all my data?
When exactly do you wipe dalvik and cache? before and after a new rom install?

I guess if your not having any issues then you don't need to worry about. I always wipe dalvik and cache in recovery before a flash a rom or kernel or a theme.

You are lucky if you don't have any problems. You suppose to wipe dalvik and cache partition before flash/install a new rom. Wipe the dalvik and cache partition in recovery shouldn't erase your data, but if you don't have any problems then I guess you're ok.
Lawl. Funny thread.
So recently I've been trying to flash the CM9 nightlies and all attempts have led to boot-loops. I was wondering if it was just a bad download so I tried to install AOKP and got the same results...so then I tried the new Paranoid Android rom and still got boot-loops. So is my phone like rejecting 4.0? somebody please help me out with this!

I've had this problem before. What I had to do to fix it was flash another recovery. You can also try fixing permissions in CWM.

Thanks pure! I'm trying the method of fixing permissions first and if that's unsuccessful I'll try another recovery.
I'm still having issues. I've tried the permission fix and different recovery and still nothing.

You tried a new recovery as in you went from:
-CWM to Amon Ra?
OR
-CWM 5.0.0.x to CWM 3.0.0.8?
If you only did option 1, have you tried reflashing CWM in hboot?
If you only did option 2, try option 1 then. If that fails, try going into a saved nandroid, open Rom Manager, and select a different version of CWM. Make sure that you go onto settings and check "Erase Recovery."
I went from CWM to Amon.

So I've still had no luck getting anything to run but my current. I've done all three things mentioned and still absolutely nothing. I cleaned out my SD yesterday and pretty much got rid of a lot of useless stuff, could that have effected anything?

You probably are but i gotta ask, are you wiping everything before flashing? Meaning formating everything in the mounts and storrage menu in cwm except emmc and sd.
Yes I was, this pretty much goes with the whole reason I wanted s-on. I had this theory that if I returned to complete stock and re-rooted my phone that I could flash properly again, and I was correct.

4. Format boot 2x
5. Format system 2x
6. Format datadata 2x
7. Format data 2x
8. Format cache 2x
9. Flash the Rom.

Aha well thanks on the help but I already got everything working again. May I ask why you wipe everything so much? It doesn't really make a difference.

Redundancy to the max but that's OK. I've given up on trying to convince people.

I was recently on TDJ's Darkside Rom. I decided to flash the Infamous Resurrection. I followed the instructions Wipe Flash etc. However when I rebooted almost all of my apps are still there and then they start force closing like CRAAAAZY. I know I can go and "fix permissions" however I want a FULL CLEAN INSTALL. The other rom was giving me weird issues and I am ready for something else. I use TWRP. What's up? How can I do a system wipe and cache wipe and still have most of my apps? This doesn't seem right. How can I fix this? Thanks sincerely for any help given .
You need to write your data, or "factory reset", because your apps and stuff are kept in the data partition, not the system partition. Just do the factory reset, wipe system, cache, and dalvik, and then flash again.

Here you go. Makes the wipe process much simpler.

I never wipe dalvik cache, and I only format cache when it gets done with a factory reset (when switching ROMs)
All the others, just format /system and go. And even formatting /system isn't needed most times because most ROMs already include that step in their install script.
