I just flashed TWRP 2.3.1 and installed a new rom (ptmr3's koodo 4.04 v4). I wiped factory reset, wiped system, then installed rom, wiped cache and dalvik, but when I went to fix permissions I got an error message saying that fix permissions had failed because it could not be done after a factory reset.
????
Should I reboot and fix permissions after the 10 minutes original reboot/load, or just leave things as they are?

Yes, should work after that.

Thanks, so it is better to fix permissions after reboot?
I did not do so, and all programs seem to be working OK. Perhaps because I did factory reset before re-installing a ROM, that did set the premissions already and did not need re-fixing?

Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!
I Have TWRP 2.0 And When I Go To Install Any Other Rom Besides The Stock Backup I Made It Installs Fine But When I Boot Up The Rom It Stays In Bootloop Any Suggestions?
It sounds exactly like you didn't perform a "factory reset" before installing a new rom.
wipe wipe wipe
You should factory reset in twrp
the bootlooping u r facing is due to messed files of stock plus newly installed rom
first factory reset,wipe cache,dalvik cache install new rom then u will be fine

ok thanks guys I'll try that out.
I was in CWM, cleared cache and davlik. Forgot to load the newest ROM, so I rebooted and on restart, phone went into Android updating screen. What was processed? The update.zip file that was already on the phone? Or it reinstalled the last ROM processed in CWM?
Went ahead and installed the latest ROM, so far no issues. Just wondering if I need to restore nandroid and reinstall latest ROM, or no harm no foul.
Android is rebuilding the cache that you had just wiped in recovery. You should be okay but if you start to experience some issues, you can go back into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik again and let it rebuild with the new ROM installed.
Good thought

I hadn't thought of that method. Thanks.
I was using my S3 like any other normal day, tried expanding a post in twitter and then out of nowhere avast crashed along with twitter.
Avast kept crash looping, and twitter would crash any time I tried to open it. I then tried to open facebook and got a error message from that. The UI was stable the whole time though. I went into powermenu and selected reboot, and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy SIII logo.
I went into recovery and cleared the cache, but when I tried to clear the dalvik I noticed it wouldn't mount /data and it showed internal storage as having no space left, I thought it might be an issue with that version of TWRP, so I updated to the latest one and I'm getting the same thing.
Could this be a hardware issue? The only internal storage I have access to is the system partition.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had to do a full hard format for data, but within an hour of using the phone the same thing happened again. My best guess would be that the damn thing is just broken.

-Flash a rom
-Wipe /sdcard
-Factory Reset/Data Wipe
-Wipe cache and dalvik and then boot up the rom.

Thats what I did before it happened the 2nd time. It is an AOSP firmware though. I'm going to try and flash stock everything in a little while.

Exactly what ROM are you using? I'm currently running an AOSP rom, no problems by far.

Liquid Jellybean. I was on 2.10 when it happened the first time, and 2.37 when it did it again.

Try using the latest version of CWM: http://d-h.st/qAm
Same process, Wipe /system
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Factory Reset
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot into ROM.
I believe it has to do with TWRP.
Since I installed the thunderrom ROM v2.1 and the nova launcher I have this problem: com.android.systemui Stopped, and I have to do a hard reset, i didn't delete any app. Anyone know why this happen?

Which version of GApps did you install? Have you tried rebooting into recovery mode and clearing the Cache and Dalvik Cache? Also, did you do a factory reset before flashing ThunderROM?

No GAPPs needed for thunderom. I tried the rom before and had no crashes. Probably the way he installed it?

Yeah, I'm thinking it was the way he installed it - probably forgot to do a factory reset.

He said he done a hard reset so I think he did wipe it.

I did a full wipe before and I didn't install GApps only flashed the rom and downloaded the apps from the play store.
