Guys, I've changed a lot of ROMs, and now i don't know what I did, none of the ROMs works for me, every one i install, justs freezes at boot, or returns to clockwork, what should I do? CM7 doesn't work now, .sense, please help
* do a factory reset in cwm.
* then go to mounts & storage menu.
* format /system and /boot
* flash rom again
Yeah, do what was said above, or what I usually do.
Backup data and format your SD card
Wipe data in CWM
Wipe cache in CWM
Wipe Dalvik in CWM
Install the Rom,
Boot and set up.
Hopefully that should work.

sd card
Sounds like its most likely your SD card. Backup everything off it onto computer, then format it, get rid of all partitions for eg. App2sd just to be safe, then put update file on SD card again, full phone wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and you should be ok. Mess about with app2sd once your bit more experienced.

Are you new to flashing custom roms? the first boot can take a while fyi
do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before you flash the 3.3 rom
it must be that you didnt flash it properly, the 3.3 rom boots without problems on the hero
wipe/factory reset
wipe dalvik
wipe/factory rest
off
boot recovery
flash
reboot
setup
reboot
done!

Nope... I'm not new to flashing ROM. Almost flash to the level where I need to in an Anonymous Flash-oholics group.
I did do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before I flashed the 3.3 rom.
I also re-flashed, tryed wipeing before and after, wiped the dalvik cache before and after...
The reason I do not have a ext part on my SD is, that I do not install so many applications, that I run out of space. And the speed of the internal mem is alot faster.
For keeping my apps between flashs, I find titanium back to be the best solution.
Is a ext part need to run the 3.3? I ran almost all the other villain rom version, without a ext part.

Hey,
I also have problems installing 3.3 ROM. I have a running 3.2 VillainROM but 3.3 will just not install! I did factory/ rest wipe + Davlik wipe but stuck @ bootscreen again! I do have a ext3 (or 2) partition which I did not flash, but the installing of 3.2 worked fine so I guess its a problem with 3.3...
Hi guys and gals.
Right, i have tried a few Roms, and been having minor issues on them, i want to do a complete wipe, and load the Rom freshly, before I report any problems to the dev.
I am currently on AuraxTSense, I have unRevoked, and before i installed this Rom, i did a factory reset, wipe dalvik, and personal data. Anything else i can do ?
Is this the best wiping I can do, or is there any more ?
Thanks
Well as the rom(AuraxtSense) is using a2sd+ do you have an ext-partition? In that case, in order to try a full wipe, you should do the following in the mentioned order when in recovery:
- make nandroid backup(in case anything goes wrong)
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe data
- wipe sd-ext
- flash rom zip file
- flash correct radio(if you haven't already done this)
BTW. i'm running AuraxtSense 7.6.1 without any problems at all
Ok I do have SD partitioned, and it was still giving me random reboots, i am back on leedroids latest now, and i will see how that goes, if its still doing the same i will try upit suggestions.
anohter question, if i format the sd card, is it still a ' goldcard ' or do i have to do the process over again?
I believe a goldcard doesnt loose its feature even on formatting ?
"once a goldcard, always a goldcard " ?
BTW whats wiping "cache partition" ?
before flashing each new rom with ap2sd+ do we have to format the sd card and partition it all over again ?
thanks
So back on my Evo 4G whenever I wanted to flash a new rom, I would load it on my SD card. Then boot into custom recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik... Then would wipe ALL data/factory reset. Then I would install my new rom off of my SD card.
With my S3, I cannot access anything on my SD via CWM recovery. I have a SDXC card formatted to FAT32 and am on Blazer 1.8
I want to do a full data wipe before flashing new ROMS, but I am worried that if I do, I won't have a way of getting a zip file back on my phone after doing so.
It ALMOST seems like. Remember being able to access my SD in CWM when I was on a stock rooted rom. But I'm not positive.
How does one do a wipe data option in CWM and then get a flash able zip back on the phone afterwards if the SD card is not available to see and move data to/from?
I don'tanna end up wiping all data and then finding out that I hav no way of installing/restoring a rom.
Thanks!

Move on to TWRP for your recovery, much more features but if you don't want to do that go to CWM's website and update to 6.0 it will allow you to "see" your sd card

+1 on TWRP, much nicer and more features and themable To install, download GooManager open it and grant SU access then tap menu and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it'll do the rest.
BTW you're following the process ok, except you're doing one additional step that is not required that is to wipe cache and dalvik. When you factory reset you're deleting the data partition which also has both cache. It should be wipe system then do factory reset, flash the ROM after that and you should be all set.
Install stock JB LS8 after wipe
I got info on how to wipe the phone using CW mode. It does explain to format boot and system partition and ask to reboot. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410881)I was left in confusion. If boot is formatted, would CW mode work after reboot ? After full wipe, can I get GT-I9100 in download mode and do stock rom installation using ODIN ? Thanks in advance.

Formatting Boot will not affect CWM. CWM is your receovery not your boot. Also after a full wipe you should be able to get into download mode to flash via ODIN.
Install TWRP or update CWM, one version of CWM had a bug and don't let you access the sdcard.
If you choose TWRP, in the Format Menu, DO NOT use "Format Data" Second Row/Right Option. It will delete your data on the internal storage.

Make sure you have the most recent version of CWM. I can access both internal and external storage. It's downloadable from the ClockworkMod app.

Also, you can try twrp 2.8.0.1 (the one that I use).
Head up to recovery -> Wipe -> Advanced wipe
From there you can chose what to wipe (except boot, this s**t cannot be wiped).
And if this doesnt help you, just remove your SD card, go to recovery -> wipe -> factory reset (wipes everything, not sure if wiping SD card data, but it's better to remove it first) and this should do your work.
It's always working for me, even when the ROM developer says "use the recommended recovery"
I'm having issues installing any custom roms. I can install the Xiaomi.eu rom fine. I've tried installing a few others and after starting up, I see a few seconds of a spash screen, then it goes back to recovery.
Each time before installing the rom I clear cache, system and data. Then I do the cache clean before starting up. I've also tried doing a full data clean and hasn't helped either.
Whenever it fails, I reinstall the xiaomi.eu rom and once again it works fine.
Phone is unlocked and I get the unlocked image when starting up my phone.
Any ideas?
format, not wipe data
Follow These Steps:
1)Reboot to Recovery
2)Wipe>Format>Yes
3)Reboot to recovery again
4)Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select Dalvik, Cache, Data and just wipe it (And other necessary partitions) [Don't Wipe Internal storage or SD card]
5)Now go to install and click on the ROM where you have stored it, Flash the zip file
6)Now wipe>Format>Yes
7) Now reboot to System
