Are there instructions anywhere that explain what all the menu options do on ClockWorkMod Recovery?
They are all pretty self explanatory. Questions on specific ones?

I guess I'm wondering what exactly some of them mean.
What does "Free unused backup data" do?
I think there's also a couple of different options for installing .zip's and I'm not sure what the difference is.
Wondering what exactly gets wiped with certain wipe options...
Thanks for your help.
As I said before, they are all self explanatory. Factory reset will wipe your app data but keep your storage intact. Install update.zip will check the root of your sd card for a file named update.zip and install it if it exists.
Free unused space deletes redundant or now useless files from your backups.

I would grately appreciate if any Dev can make a flashable zip, like the one Darkside made for the s2
Or I'm wondering if I can still use the darkside one, b4 I flash a new ROM on my S3?

I read the OP but it says its gonna wipe my internal SD card, such as data and media.
I got a bunch of movies on my Int. SD card, so do I have to move them to my SD card?
That or back them up to a pc. Superwipe wipes everything but external sd.
Sounds like you are looking for something more like the factory reset through cwm or twrp.

I had the s2 but I always used the script from darkside, it didn't touch my SD card even the internal.
If u got time check it out and you'll see what I'm looking for.

Just go into cwr and mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache.
It will accomplish the same thing

Alright so I'm on JB, rooted, Kt kernel and I wanted to factory reset my phone to see if battery life will improve because I've heard it works for some.
My question is, is it better to backup through Kies, reset, and restore from kies backup or will I risk bringing back theb (maybe) source of problems by doing it that way?
Or suck it up and restore from a TWRP or CWM backup. The only reason I prefer the Kies backup is because I hardly have enough memory left on my SD card to hold a Nandroid backup.
Thoughts?

I always hate dealing with kies but i get the issue of memory. That's why i like extra sd card space makes it easier for backups. I prefer cwm but its Ur call

Will the CWM backup include all the pics, texts, etc.?

Do a nandroid on external SD that's where I do mine. Also use titanium you can back it up to dropbox , box or Google.

Nandroid on external sd. As far as the pictures go. I have mine default save to the sd. I normally do not format the external sd during restores, backups or rom swaps. So the pictures always remain.
However, one time I left the the sd card installed when I was returning to stock via oden. It wiped both internal and external. So now when oden is involved I pull the external. Just to be sure.

So now to my understanding in TWRP the option to create image.zip is just creating a backup that I can flash right through Odin like a rom as opposed to the option to create a backup?
What can I do with that option to create a backup? Is that also an odin flashable zip?

Usually Odin doesn't flash zips but it creates a flash able zip through cwm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yea I meant CWM. Thats the recovery I had installed that allowed me to create the image.zip
So basically that just creates the exact state that my phone is in and allows me to flash it via cwm to get right back to that state.

I was just wondering if it was possible to make a .zip file to restore our phones to Factory fresh-ish?
Heres my thinking: If we did a Factory Reset from the phone that wipes everything, sd included, then boot into CWM or TWRP Recovery because it would still be there, I believe, wipe everything in Recovery, then install the .zip? The .zip would have Root, CWM or TWRP Recovery and all the stock files.
Question is...Would this allow us to not have to use LGNPST? Or would there still be files stuck that would make us use LGNPST?[/SIZE]
Hope that all makes sense.

That would be nice. But I can't imagine it to be more useful that lgnpst. Think of it like Odin for the Samsung phones.
True. But Odin is simple and easy to get. Im just trying to think of an easier way to fix our phones when we mess em up.

Under recovery just wipe system/cache and dalvik cache.
All was wiped but the sd card part. was still there. Was that what you meant?
My idea or thought in the OP was to make something as available as Odin that could fix borked phones. LGNPST isn't as readily available. I think the stock v8 .zip is as close as we can get. It was a thought.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
But, arent ZIPs useless if the phone is really bricked and cant even boot into recovery? Isnt that the advantage LGNPST has?
Unless it was an update.zip like factory recovery. I don't think what im thinking can be done.

Hello all,
So I'm running Scott's CleanROM AT&T SE 1.5. I want to install the latest version of CleanROM ACE onto my phone now.
This was my first custom ROM install, so I've never switched ROMs like this before. My question is do I need to do anything special to flash ACE, or can I just do it through TWRP like I did last time (from stock to CleanROM)?
Any help is appreciated!

You do it through twrp like you did before. You will need to backup anything you don't wanna lose. I use titanium backup to backup my apps, apps data and texts. You will need to clean flash coming from what you are.

Read the OP (Original Post) for the directions on how you should flash the rom. Read read read.
Clean flash means clearing all data of previous rom. You wipe cache, wipe data, and wipe dalvik in recovery.

Yes, read alot. If you are asking these kinds of questions you need to read up more. Search on here. Look on YouTube, there are plenty of videos

Thank you both very much. I'll do some more research and look around.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Download the updated cleanrom to your external sd card
Boot into recovery and do a nand backup
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data 3 times each (its easy if you go under "advanced" tab in wipe and it let's you select all 3 to wipe at once, then do that 3 times)
Click on install tab and navigate to the rom zip and flash away.
You shod be in familiar waters now.

I'm sure this a noob question but doing a clean install, what should you Format when using CWM. I've not been to get a down and dirty answer to this.
And is there anywhere that explains the different things you use CWM for. ie all the different format commands.
Thanks in advance

Usually a factory reset is all you need. Note that will delete your app/app data so a backup is quite useful.
