use my flashing tutorial i think that might help>>right below my signature
There is also an option if you go to the bottom of "Storage". There u can wipe the your SDcard.

In cwm, go to mounts and storage, format /sdcard option.
Make sure you have everything you need before formatting

Hi
Hboot = Stock
Version = Beta_0.5.1 and 0.4.5
Full wipe before? = Cache and dalvik wiped
A2SD-script = Stock A2SD
I was running Leedrioid with a ext4 partition of 1gb as I only rooted and flashed my phone a few days ago. Flashed to Sandvold ICS ROM and no matter which version I try of the above it just stays on the boot up X animation. Only once did it reach the next screen (0.4.5), but kept saying no sim when there was one.
I installed as default, and only once chose to install the Apex launcher and still get the same problem I have read the thread for Sandvold ICS and could not find any similar problem.
Any ideas?
Also not sure if I want to do a full wipe as not sure what that entails. I assume it would wipe my backups?
You have to perform a full wipe. Delete everything !
Do a nandroid backup first. Wipe everything except the sd card. Otherwise it will never run.
After the nandroid backup you can also copy all the content to your pc to be absolute save

When you say nandroid backup, does that mean hboot - recovery - backup/restore?
Wipe everything hboot - recovery - wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik cache, then wipe data/factory reset?
As you stated don't wipe the SD card, and obviously I don't want to so assume the above won't wipe the SD card
Cheers
Yes backup/restore - choose backup, then copy ALL content from Sd to pc to be save. Then wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system, sd ext, data. To be sure everything is wiped correctly. Then install the Rom.
If you don't like it you can format again and copy everything back to your sd and then perform a restore from the backup/restore menu !
And to be safe ... copy your phone numbers to sim. I made that mistake one time !
And the wipe data/factory reset will NOT wipe the sd card !

You've tried literally everything? First and foremost you Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik and then also Formatted System and Data manually before flashing? Formatting system and data is under "Mounts and Storage." I know a lot of people wouldn't get past the boot screen because they didn't do that...

Ok so I wipe all 3 then I should go to mounts and mount and unmount what? Then install JB v3 ones it's done what should be mounted or unmount ?then after that just reboot system?
I'm pretty sure my problem has to do with mounting and unmount ing

Don't unmount anything.. just format /system under "Mounts and Storage"

I only format /system or /data (if need be) before flashing a rom, never cache or dalvik, which are hash signed. A new rom, a new flash, a new /system, has different hash, which leads to cache and dalvik being rebuilt on first boot after a flash.

Okay let me simplify everything for you and you will not need to pay anyone for assistance. All you have to do is initially erase all data and factory reset, then install the new JellyBean ROM using clockworkmod recovery and after that wipe cache and dalvik cache..you can run fix permissions (i did but not sure if it matters.) If it still is stuck on the boot screen then wipe data again, reinstall JB rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache and wipe anything else you can wipe. After all that mine started working normally. If you are still stuck sent me a PM and I can assist you from Atlanta GA and for free!

Go into ClockworkMod Recovery, then Advanced, then Fix Permissions
I had a very hard time doing it too. The first time I did it I, when I setup the phone, it kept having every app crash, one after another. Managed to get back into CWM and try to restore my ICS and it kept giving me errors. I finally read something about a super wipe, but it didn't say it worked for the GNex, so I just did a cache wipe, and did the data wipe 4 times, and then installed JB one more time, and it finally worked. I never had to fix permissions or anything like that. Perhaps your phone just needs some extra wipes like mine.

Hi, i just got my nexus and have flashed a rom onto it but i want to try another rom and dont want to do a full factory reset and scrub and loose all my stuff on my internal storage.
I have used a superwipe script on my previous smart phones, is there something like this available yet? if not how do i go about changing roms without deleting from my internal storage?
Thanks for any help:good:
Well to try a different ROM, your going to have to factory reset, that doesn't mean it wipes the internal memory though. Just put the ROM on the root of the tab, and flash it. Shouldn't wipe anything off the tab besides data and cache, leaving everything else intact.

Can you just make a backup in twrp or cwm before you flash the new rom

Will doing a full wipe thru recovery clear my internal memory? I want to make sure my internal memory doesn't get deleted so I backed it up. So I just wanted to make sure before going to a new ROM. Thanks!

The only time factory reset will wipe internal memory is if you are on stock recovery.
Good move on the backup. Should be doing that anyhow.

Hi everyone,
I've been using a rooted galaxy nexus for two years (mostly on vanir rom). The last few months the phone has been operating really slowly. I'm sure some of that is due to age, but I'm trying to find out how to do the computer equivalent of formatting my phone and starting fresh again. Is it simply by wiping my "sd card" in TWRP, or is there a more effective way of doing it?
Thanks!

Yeah that solves it. But locking and unlocking the bootloader will do the trick too. This will wipe all data!

is there another option except unlocking and locking?
when i format via TWRP it still keeps so many old folders and \1\ folders from past roms installations

Thanks for your help. If i lock and unlock the bootloader will I have to go through the whole process again as when I originally unlocked my phone (ie installing super user, twrp, etc)?

Can't you just go into Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset?
And if you want to wipe SD card too then Settings > Storage > Erase USB storage
Or wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage from recovery and that will clear everything out.
nexus doesnt have sd card, only internal
and all what u wrote doesnt erase everything
usb mount
i have gotten accustom to using a .micro usb. to a .female usb. cord to mount a flash drive.
it will give you another option of flashing when something goes wrong
why dont you try to clean your chace first, wipe the chace and dalvik chace, also you can try clean install a new rom beside you wont got all your stuff gone
