I upgraded to the latest clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 and when I switch ROMs, I notice some of my item's are still "cached". For example, I was using Evervolv and then did a wipe of data, cache, and davlik, and flashed the RC1 for CM7. GApps are not packaged with either of these ROMs but when I booted up CM7 for the first time after flashing, GApps are installed, without me doing so. Is there an issue with the latest version of deleting cache or am I not doing enough wiping?

Ya I agree. I notices after wiping from nightly 38 to Cm7 RC1 all my settings and SMS and so on were still there. Odd...
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
It hasn't been fully wiping for me either. I've tried the setting from within ROM Manager as well as booting into recovering and manually telling it to wipe it. I also can't seem to back 3.0.0.5 out either.
the google backup service will restore some apps if you have it enabled in settings. by default it is enabled. this may be whats happening after your wipe.
I cant explain smokeey's sms messages tho
I understand google backup services but that would imply you have GApps installed, which shouldn't be after a full wipe and flash of new rom

good luck, i haven't had any issues with 3.0.0.5... yet
I've run into some issues as well. Went from Evervolv to my CM7 backup and when I restored the nandroid for CM7 the status bar was totally gone lol.
Google Apps are stored in /system/app. Wiping /data and /cache won't erase them.
With CWM, it's best to go into Mounts & Storage, and format system there. Then flash the ROM.

That makes sense, I noticed that whenever a rom developer says that the wipe is scripted into the install or update that, that is what it does is format the mounts first.

I can't get the Warm Two Point Two rom to flash since I upgraded. Even after flashing other recoveries (2.5.1.2, and 2.5.1.8) I still have problems flashing other roms.
I went back to 2.5.1.2 from 3.0.0.5 I notice little "gliches" with the 3.0.0.5 that didnt make it worth the upgrade. on a side note. Evervolv rocks!!! lol

3.0.0.5 won't even boot for me. Rom Manager reports it as installed, but until I reverted to 2.5.1.2 I couldn't even get into recovery.

Do you usually do the format boot, system, data, cache, and then go and wipe data, cache, and davlik? I did the format from the mount & storage and it still kept my home screen options...

Go into recovery and do a Factory Reset which will format system, cache and data.. Then install the ROM via the install zip file option and you should be good to go.
I have been having that problem also. I was running MIUI and I wiped everything as usual and flashed Liguid Metal and MIUI backup, music, and gallery were all still in my apps list. So I wiped and flashed again, but they were still there and I was unable to uninstall them.
I ended going back to an older version of CWM so i could try a few other ROMs because there are still a many that are incompatible.
Can someone please pm me with a link to where I can find an older version of CWM recovery. I am having issues as well.

That's the problem is that doesn't work. I found that doing the formats in mount and storage that I listed above and then wiping data, cache, and davlik solved my issues.

so i have been using CM7 RC1 w/ stock kernel for a while now, without any issues. i was reading up and wanted to try the new incredikernel though, for the governor rather than using setcpu/juice defender for increased battery life.
so i did a titanium backup, then in Clockwork did a full backup before i started messing with anything. i then mounted to computer to put the kernel on the SD card. i did this, but was confused where to actually put the .zip file so that CW would see it. SD card or internal memory? i've had this issue before.
anyway, i didn't find the .zip when i booted into recovery, so i went to re-mount to USB to move it over to the other directory, and everything seized up on me. trying to mount USB basically froze my phone. re-booting did not fix, when i try to go into CM settings or try to mount USB same freezing would happen.
OK fine, i just did a nandroid backup so i figured it wasn't a big deal since i haven't actually made any changes yet and so i restored. then it would not boot. got stuck at the CM7 bootloader. ****. so i tried an earlier restore point, from a few months ago. that worked (also CM7-RC1 when i first put it on). i didn't wipe cache/dalvik when i tried the first time, so i wiped now and then tried to restore the most recent backup again. still, no luck.
so i've been living with the older restore trying to get everything how it was before. another note, i had installed a battery meter (RC1 did not come with one), and when trying to flash this, got stuck at the same bootloader screen again. another thing to note is that i have been updating CW to the latest version when it is available, but all versions are 3.xx. the latest i think i went from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.0.8. just trying to include as much info as possible here...
any ideas? it's frustrating because i haven't actually been installing anything new. at this point i just want my phone the way it was, i.e. getting the latest restore point to work. it won't, but older restore versions will work. did CW mess up the backup, is it corrupt? is this a CM7 issue or CW? help please!
if this is in the wrong forum, apologies, it wouldn't let me post in the dev thread due to lack of posts.
Did you do a complete wipe before trying to restore your backups? In recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, system, data and cache.

i did not do that before. i just tried though, and same result. stuck in CM7 boot loop.
wtf happened to my backup!
That happened to me once. Try this. Save everything on your sd card to your computer. Reformat card. Then put just the nandroid back on card. It might help.
Yeah sounds like it may be an issue with the SD card or your backup..

i just flashed this rom on my htc evo and I keep getting the HTC Sense load screen when I close my apps or go to the home screen...Is there away to fix this issue??
Before I flashed this ROM I performed a nandroid backup
Format all zip
then Wipe Factory
then Wipe Cache
then Wipe Davlik
And still get the HTC Sence loading screen when switching apps and going to the home screen
Did you wipe ext2and android.secure? That is if you have the ext3 set up.
Edit: That is if you are using AR2.3 recovery and did a backup that included the everything but the cache...just wipe EVERYTHING except (obviously) the SDCARD itself (just below the wipe sdcard ext). The battery and rotation is not needed, but won't hurt.
If you are using this and did not do a recovery with everything checked except the cache (wimax is not a big deal if you have done that by itself). Do not wipe until you have. Only draw back if you didn't, you will have to set everything back up again after the restore.
Oops, I forgot that you had already done your nand and are attempting to get this running, so the last couple paragraphs are a bit late. Wipe EVERYTHING (but SDCARD itself obviously) and give it a go. Good Luck
After I wipe the sdcard ext and reboot the phone worked for me.Now I just got to get the camera fixed on this ROM.thanks for the help

How to restore a Nandroid or flash new ROM with CWM Touch
In CWM Touch Recovery
1. Go to mounts and storage and unmount cache.
2. Make a nandroid. (Going back to mounts and storage, you will see data is mounted and will not unmount.)
3. Go to "advanced" and select reboot recovery.
4. Once phone reboots into recovery, go back to mounts and storage and see that data is unmounted. You may now wipe data, system, and cache.
5. You may now restore a nandroid or flash a new rom.
Recommendation : As noted below, proper wiping matters when switching between roms, particularly from ICS to JB. Use superwipe from Mike (android revolution HD) when moving between roms. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...="0" alt="">&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13416929577832
If this helped you, hit thanks. Also, thank hobby 31. Thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748049
EDIT 7-19-12 If you say "I've had no issues doing backups and restores with CWM," please ask yourself the following questions:
1. Are you using CWM Touch or non-touch? This is a Touch issue. If you are using the non-touch... you need not read further or report "I have no problems" because this is specifically related to Touch. (Please note I have not flashed the new 6.0 CWR Touch as some people are reporting problems with it also.)
2. Did you do multiple operations in the same recovery session? Meaning did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik? Then did you try to flash a new ROM or restore a backup without restarting recovery? The reason this matters is because this issue of data not unmounting seems to happen in Touch CWM after a wipe is performed. You might be able to do one action per recovery session, but doing multiple actions that require data to be unmounted are what borks the operation and leaves some people hanging at the glowing X of "Oh crap I need to boot back into recovery."
Let me know if there are any problems, need for further clarification.
I flashed an older version of CWM (5.5.0.4) Non Touch version so I could flash JB but my SD card would not mount after I did a full wipe. Had to use the Toolkit to flash stock image. Do you know what would cause that to happen? People are saying to use the older version to flash JB and I want to try VanirBEAN ROM but don't want to run into the same SD mount issues.
I have not had any difficulty restoring cwm nandroid backups of other ROMs, or flashing other ROMs coming from V3. Have not had to resort to any of these steps. But I have seen a lot of threads about others having a lot of problems. Just curious if anyone has any theories about why this is?

After talking with others, I think my issue was after flashing the older CWM I did not reboot before moving forward with the wipe. Too chicken to try it again
I think it has to do with the coding in vicious and some of the initial releases of JB roms. Coupled with the data not unmounting at the proper time. A couple people also have mentioned that they didn't do as full of a wipe as is done with the super wipe script, hence why a lot of devs suggest using it to clean out old ics code.
Has nothing to do with Viscious. Same on JellyBelly 3.x Even when moving between JB roms, Data won't unmount when performing multiple operations.
I have flashed all three versions of Vicious' JB with CWM Touch and have not had a single problem. My process is as follows:
-Backup
-format /cache
-format /data
-format /system
-Wipe Dalvik cache
-Flash ROM
-Wipe Dalvik cache
-Reboot
-????????
-Profit
Team win recovery aka twrp. Everyone done says "use non touch recovery" it doesn't matter. Haven't had a single issue using twrp on this phone or any of my previous phones. It works great. Especially with super wipe scripts.

Bingo. That's what superwipe does.
Added link to Mike's superwipe.
Sorry for the dumb question, but ive done a search and found conflicting answers. When you wipe data and cache do you want them to be mounted or unmounted?

I have Touch CWM and I have no problems flashing back and forth between JB and ICS roms and nandroids.
You just have to flash a Super Wipe in between.
I just did this yesterday to test out my MHL adapter. Backed up my JB rom, super wiped, restored my ICS Liquid Rom, tested, super wiped, restored my JB rom.
I think super wipe is key in going between different rom builds. But I've had absolutely no problem using CWM at all. If Super wipe is the answer, then perhaps CWM's Factory Reset option isn't wiping as well as it should.
Flashing a SuperWipe is much easier then having to restart the phone a few times.
I think it may be related to Viscious old versions. Not Sure. Using Jelly Belly now. If you are not having problems, that's great. I used superwipe script. No problems. But, if people want the manual solution without getting errors, then at least we know the above method works. It might not be neccesary now with the newer releases, maybe data will unmount ok.
If anyone wants to test and see if they can restore old backups from ICS w/out doing the above steps (IE the rebooting) and report back, it'd be appreciated. I will be uber busy the next couple days or I'd take the time to backup to my computer before trying.
Would you mind sending me the super wipe script to flash? Or point me to the thread?

Are you using Touch Based CWMR? Or Standard.
I can confirm even with Jelly 3.6, that after I wipe data, cache, and delvik that the data will then remain mounted and not unmount unless I restart recovery.
This can/does cause problems and messes up operations when people are doing multiple actions in recovery at the same time. You might be able to do one action, such as making a backup just fine. But if you are using CWMR Touch, you might have issues with doing multiple operations in the same recovery session, like, backup, wiping, then restoring if the action you are doing requires data to unmount.
So, if you say "I have no problems..." please confirm that you are using touch recovery... not just standard.
CWM Touch was updated to 6.0.0.5 this week, is this issue still present? I haven't experienced any problems yet using CWM Touch, I'm just curious.
My steps are 1. Backup 2. Wipe data/factory reset 3. Wipe cache partition 4. Wipe Dalvik cache 5. Flash ROM 6. Flash GApps if needed 7. Reboot
Hi, in the last minutes i've flashed the 2.7 build of LiquidSmooth Rom from the Paranoid Hello Halo rom... I've done the prcedure like XDA said : Wipe Wipe Wipe (cache, dalvik, system) Flash Rom Flash Gapps. It booted fine but all my apps that i've had on my previous rom was still there... all of them. The most disturbing is my settings were also like I've left them ( disabled pie wifi etc) also my Google Accound was already setuped and good to go. Is it a new feature from flashing 4.2.2 rom to an other 4.2.2 rom ? I've never seen that before. I've also rebooted to make sure it wont boot loop on reboot, and it booted like a charm!
Any clues ?
Weird, never seen that before. Tell us what recovery you have and exactly what you are wiping. Can't think of anything else at the moment I'm sure others will chime in.
Sounds to me like you're not wiping /data. This is where your apps and setting are stored and unless you factory reset using stock recovery, deliberately wipe/format /data, or flash a Rom that wipes it for you, all your apps and settings will remain.
Seems like normal behavior to me.

Got it that's why. I was sure wiping system would wipe data too. But do you think its dangerous to not wipe data? Because actually my ROM is rocking right now without issues? Should I reflash it for safety?
It just depends....
It's always best to start clean, especially if you were having problems. But if you want to keep data intact, you should be ok as long as you don't go to an entirely different rom, base, or build.
If you are updating to a newer version of the same build, you're fine. Also if updating to a newer build/version you should be ok, but may have a few hiccups.
However, anytime you go backwards (4.2.2 to 4.1.2) you should wipe it all. The same is true if you are moving to a different base, such as CM to TW. Keeping your internal sdcard data is usually ok, but sometimes it can cause some issues.
