This is going to sound stupid I'm sure, but what does that wipe do that the other's don't?
Thanks
mods,
you can completely delete this thread if you're not busy, I ended up sticking with the juggernaut rom and phone works great
thanks

Reboot to CWM.
You'll need to full wipe by going to storage & mount
format the following- data, system, and cache.
next go back to the main cwm screen.
wipe factory/data that is on the main CWM screen and wipe cache partition.
afterwards go to advance then wipe delvik cache.
done!
or search for Darkside Super Wipe tool which can be found in the dev section.(pretty much the same thing but in one button)

Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!
Ok so I downloaded a JB rom rebooted in CWM touch I then
wipe data /factory reset
Wipe cache partitions
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
Format cache
Format data
And flashed the rom
I reboot and it gets stuck sometimes in the Google screen or the X screen
I have left it booting for 1hr and nothing
Due system/cache /data have to be unmounted?
hi there, only thing you must do is to wipe factory, and wipe cache, dont wipe and format other things there.. if you have a back up of your prevoius stock rom, restore it again to restore all you had been formated, to restore your phone to normal, and install again your jelly bean rom but this time just wipe cache and wipe facetory thats all you need to do. sorry for the english

It's pass the Google screen now in the glowing X screen its been on for like 15 min is that normal?
Its should not take that long after flashing the rom max time it takes is 5 mins for me will be same for all there must be something wrong
CMW Touch usually does not play well with JB.
Try flashing with an older CMW.
Alright thanks for the help restoring back to aopk 40 and going to flash a older cwm then rebooting into cwm wipe factory and cache then JB v3 then rebooting it hope fully it works
Good luck, hope it works out for you.

I think you should have wiped everything except sd card...not just cache and dalvik
Try it again and wipe more.
Go back to recovery, go to wipe menu, wipe everything on the list except for SD-Card atleast 2x, reflash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then reboot and you should be on your homescreen in less than 5 mins, if it continues to boot loop pull the battery and just reboot it and see if it will boot on the 2nd try if not try flashing a different rom, or restore the backup you made*hopefully you followed the directions and made one*

I also find that doing a factory reset as well as re-downloading the Rom again to be helpful. Sometimes it may be a bad download of the Rom.

When u wipe everything but SD.card it factory reset/data wipes as one of the options, I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe boot, wipe sd-ext atleast 2x before switching roms and when going from different versions or from aosp to sense or vice versa I wipe 3-5x and then wipe cache and dalvik between add on flashes and after I'm done flashing before I reboot and I've never had a bad flash or bootloop

Agreed, with Smurf, also, don't have your phone plugged into your usb port. For some reason, on many ICS ROMs, you'll just be stuck at the white screen
Hey all,
I've been searching for a while now and decided I should just post my question finally. I have the Galaxy SIII, rooted, and running CM10 stable. For the last 3 months or so, my SMS app, Messaging, has been randomly force closing and crashing. The only way to fix it is by rebooting the phone. I've tried re-flashing the mod 5 times, and even wiped data and done 2 factory resets. Still no luck.
And more recently my "phone" app has been doing it too. It crashes when I open up the dial pad and drops calls randomly and I have to restart my phone for it to work again.
Both of these will happen randomly. Sometimes I can go 4 hours without having to restart my phone, other times I have to restart my phone every 20 minutes. It's really starting to bug me.
Is there an app that's known to cause these crashes? Or is there a possibility that the mod file is corrupt? Thoughts? Questions? Any help is appreciated!!
When you flashed Cm10, did you come from stock or a custom rom? Did you also format /system?
If you made a nandroid while on stock, I would:
Wipe data, cache, dalvik and restore that. Then (assuming you still have Cm10 and gapps zips on your device) I would wipe data and caches again, format /system and flash rom/gapps. Wipe data/cache and reboot.

When I flashed, it was from a previous CM10 ROM that worked fine. I reflashed because one of my apps was getting an "unknown" error, and now this crashing is happening. I don't think I have ever done "format /system". How do I go about that?

To have a completely clean install, you should always:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik (under advanced)
Format /system (under mounts and storage)
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Wipe data
Reboot
Be sure to have whatever you feel important backed up as this will wipe your system. Make a nandroid first if you don't already have one

There shouldn't be any issues if you have flashed correctly. Many users have also noted that a custom rom performs better when returning to stock and then flashing the new rom via the above procedures. Feel free to pm me your results

I can't see this is a good thing, but I'm a noob.
You're saying after installing the new ROM and apps (Flash rom Flash gapps), you then go back into CWM and select 'wipe data/factory reset'??
Again, I'm a noob and maybe I'm reading this wrong!
Doing a wipe again right after installing a new ROM sounds so wrong to me.
What would that do?

This step (step 7 in your list) isn't necessary.
When in doubt, follow the directions in the OP of the rom you are trying to flash, usually can't go wrong.
Problem:
After installing a new rom, I get stuck at the Samsung screen during 1st boot.
Background:
I tried cleaning up the internal card memory,just what I could see from My computer, so I started deleting files.After that my problem began. I had a back-up of Albinoman887's 4.4 build from 12-24-2013 which boots. I cant install the new nightly build without the problem occurring
Attempts to correct.
Factory wipe / Delvik Wiped each time
I used odin to revert back to stock. Installed but would not boot.
Any thoughts ?

Because you need to do a full wipe from within recovery before you can install a different type of ROM. You can't just clean up files you can see through your computer. Also, full wipe is more than just factory reset and Dalvik cache.

You haven't wiped the system partition in that description.
You need to wipe, system, data, cache, dalvik (battery stats isn't a real thing that needs wiping)
Then flash the ROM.
If none of that works, restore the whole thing back to stock in Odin and start over.

Your exact steps are dependent on which custom recovery you are using (e.g., CWM, TWRP, Philz Touch, etc.). For the custom ROMs I have tried the developer always included information in one of the first couple of posts explaining exactly how much wiping is required for that ROM and what specific steps to follow in CWM or TWRP. For a good example of this look carefully at jovy23's original post in this thread and you will see both TWRP and CWM sections:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292054
I've seen different definitions of "full wipe," one example of which is in the 6th post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410881
but, having said that, if your ROM's developer has specific instructions it's always a good idea to follow those. Good luck!
