So I rooted my phone for the dumbest reason...so I could take screen shots lol anyways, it's been freezing up with the texting and stuff. I was wondering if there is anyway to unroot it. Please someone help.
That's a funny reason to root your phone.....anyway, just flash a stock rom. Make sure you wipe first.

What is wiping
Boot into recovery (hold volume down and power at the same time, after white bootloader screen appears, select recovery), now in recovery select wipe data/factory reset, then select wipe cache, then select advanced, then wipe dalvik cache - wiping dalvik is optional in clockworkmod, since it is already wiped in the previous steps (this is the menu and steps for clockworkmod recovery, RA recovery is similar)
Anytime you flash a new rom or kernel, wiping gives you a clean slate helping prevent future issues.

Hello XDA'ers!,
[Already used search function btw].
There are a few things a need some answer for.
Some info:
After having the official gingerbread update from HTC I used Revolutionary
TO s-off and root (with some zip file) my phone. Now my phone has Cynanogenmod 7. If im correct the recovery i have is: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4.
Now here are the questions:
1: I want to install MIUI, what do i have to do in recovery before installing this rom. Do I have to do something like clear cache or wipe data or something? + Where can i find the official MIUI roms? THere are different websites.
2: I have the Revolutionary Recovery and Rom Manager says i have to flash clockworkmod recovery before i can search for roms etc. Is it worth it to install it over the revo recov?
1) Before flashing ANY new rom it's always best to do a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (you can restore to how it was when you made your backup).
Before you flash the rom you've chosen you should do the three wipes... In recovery "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "advanced/wipe dalvik cache".
Install your new rom... "install zip from sd card", "choose zip from sd card".
2) The (seemingly) most popular miui rom here is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291.
Download the version you require and place onto your sd card. Then go to step 1 above.
3) Most people would recommend not using rom manager, but the choice is yours. Flashing the newest cwm recovery will make no difference really to when you wanna flash a rom.
Hey Zedmarcus,
thank you so much for your response!
Really helped a lot.
No problem. Helping and sharing is what it's about
If it helps, hit the thanks
I have installed MildWild CM-2.7 on my Desire but there is now MildWild CM-2.8 and I can't find a guide how to install/update my Desire.
I have got S-OFF and recovery by Revolutionary The guide I followed to S-OFF and ROOT
This is the ROM I using. MildWild CM ROM
Just flash it via recovery like you did with the previous version
Will flashing the new version cause me to loose everything on my current version I.e apps and data etc??
Thanks for the reply though
do back up first, wipe davik+cache and flash it... it should work if not do full wipe and restore back up
just post any result we will move from there
What should I use to hackup TIbackup? Or is there a better one that you reccomend?

Do I only restore the Titanium I am guessing, as restoring recovery would revert back to my current ROM? and I have thanks
Yes indeed. With titanium, only restore "missing apps with data".

ROM Manager can make updating so much easier - well worth the investment.

Things I've learned with all this flashing that may be helpful for you.
1. Before flashing, always backup your current system up. nandbackup via recovery, titanium for your apps, sd card if really needed for that you need to do.
2. If flashing an updated version of same rom, wipe cache and dalvik only on your recovery (unless explicitly specified by dev to make a full wipe.)
3. If you are having weird issues after upgrading the same rom, do a full wipe and start fresh. If issue is not resolved, report the issue to the Dev's thread.
4. Do a Full Wipe on recovery (System/factory, cache, dalvik if coming from a different rom).

Thanks for the reply.
In response to 2. I am using ClockworkMod as my Recovery and I am guessing you mean I have to wipe 'cache partition' and 'wike dalvik cache' under advanced?
I am creating a guide to help fellow N00bs how to update a rom and change between ROM's

Yes if I remember correctly there are the first three lines on that recovery is wipe system, cache partition (like you stated), and wipe dalvik. So if upgrading just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.
System partition is where the "Android OS" resides. Wiping it is like formatting your computer. Most of the time, incremental updates of the same rom requires you to wipe just the cache partition and dalvik, otherwise if the rom update has a lot of changes, the dev might require you to wipe all three options on the recovery.
Having wiped my cache and dalvik cache. I am now wanting to install the new version. On the main screen I have 2 options which are tempting to click.
One is 'Apply update from SD card' and the other is 'Install zip from SD card'
I am unsure of which to choose but my gut instinct is to go with 'Install zip from SD card', is this correct or am i going to make a terrible mistake?

Install zip from SD
How would I flash a Kernal? I Want to flash Faux kernal with beastmod5
Sorry for the noob Question..
If you already have Beastmod installed (or any other custom ROM):
0. Download Faux' kernel and put it on your phone somewhere.
1. From the ROM, hold power and wait for the power-menu. Select reboot to recovery. Basically get into Clockwork recovery. Doesn't matter how.
2. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
3. Locate the kernel file
4. Select OK and wait for it to flash.
5. Reboot. It may take longer than usual for the first boot.
Don't forget to wipe Delvick and Cache before installing a new kernal..

+1 wipe cache and dalvik!!!!
Hello everyone!
I´ll bother you with a few quick questions:
I have a stock rooted Motorola Defy+ (MB526) which is laggig way too much.
I wanted to wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Is there a stock "Recovery Mode"? Judging from screenshots, i think so. However i can only see the "wipe cache" option. Is the "wipe dalvik cache" option not available in this recovery mode? Can anyone suggest a better way in which i can perform such wipes?
Once again, thanks everyone in advance!

Wipe dalvik cache isn't available in Stock Recovery Mode - I believe stock is only used to root the phone.
You need a custom recovery - search for 2nd-init (v2.3). That will install a bootmenu which is accessible when the notification light turns blue after you boot your device. When you are in bootmenu, select 'Recovery' then 'Custom Recovery' and it'll take you to a version of CWM. From there go to 'Advanced' and you will see 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'
Also from CWM you have the ability to 'Apply .zip files from sdcard' which is how you flash custom ROMs, which could help with your lag issue.
Hope that helps
