[Q] CWM Wipe

I'm wondering if these are the correct procedure..
1. Wipe data / factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
4. Format /System

Anyone ?

really all you need to do is wipe data and cache (factory reset)
i prefer to format system just in case the rom does not include the script to format system, but most rom installs have a script that formats system

Yes it is...
This is ofcourse if you are installing complete ROM. However, if you are just installing an update I don't think your mobile will ever boot.
Otherwise, as suggested by some other members, all you need is just 1,2 and 3.

I've been following these steps since I had my Incredible years and still use of my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. Try out CWM for a little, if you don't like try TWRP, I just switched over to it.

[Q] Rom updating w/o losing data?

Updating aokp for example, the aokp updater told me about the update but is it the same process as installing for the first time? Will I lose my apps and everything or does it only wipe cache? What step in roms delete everything, format data or factory reset or both?
Cheers.

No wipe needed if updating.I recommend wiping cache and dalvik-cache for good measure tho. And you have to reinstall gapps after the rom as well.
When a wipe is needed you want to select factory reset. Never select wipe/format data as it'll wipe the internal storage too.

Then what about...
If you are already on AOKP and doing an update:
1. Make a nandroid (backup in CWM)
2. Format /system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Install new ROM zip
6. Install gapps
If you end up with issue or coming from another ROM, do this:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Format /system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Install new ROM zip
6. Install gapps

Isn't a Format/system wiping the apps? Or does that not affect the apps? By format on my recovery it says formatting the sd card deletes everything (on TWRP).
Cheers.

TWRP Quick question

If I need to wipe Data, Factory reset, and dalvik cache, are the respective names in TWRP: Factory reset, format data, and dalvik cache? First time using TWRP and only really confused on the data part.

I think they are under the wipe tab. But i don't remember because i use the super wipe.zip. it does it for me. I think MMuzzy has it for download on his thread.

Yeah but what I meant is that the wipe data, is named format data in TWRP right?

No. Wipe cache, davlik, factory reset, and system. Format data format the entire SD card

Please READ the installation instructions on the first post.
And no point telling anyone you don't know how to do it, Google is right in front of you.
To answer your question:
- flash the kernel
- boot into CWM
- flash the ROM.zip
- wipe data
Mount and format = wipe
You just repeated the wiping process for data and dalvik
In my experience it is not compulsory to wipe cache and dalvik when installing new ROM.

popthosegaskets: Thank you and i´m sorry.
Last Q. As you write, the last point wipe data = wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System?? Sorry for my ignorance.

[Q] Full wipe

Hi,
I'm using CMW 6.x and already wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, but application folder's was not delete.
For example: I use app Pocket Cast to download and listen to podcasts. When I wipe all data by CMW, this folder was not deleted.
So, how can I wipe all data on my android? Wipe all data like a get smartphone for the first time.
Thanks for help and sorry by my english.

You need to format sd card in mounts and storage, but make sure you have a rom installed on the phone as formatting the sd card will delete all zip files too.
