I think there is something to multiple wipes!

I was on here late last night and was looking thru a thread and someone said when you wipe cache and dalvik you should do so several times. I had some issues with my phone the other day. Evidently my phone doesn't like being severely undervolted. Thank God for nandroid. Also system tuner pro was giving me fits to. So I decided to reflash my rom. I had been running faux kernel with the skyrocket mods. So I wiped data/ reset twice then wiped cache and dalvik twice . Flashed rom and fixed permissions twice. My phone is now smoother then its ever been. I'm not using fauxs kernel either. So the moral of the story is next time you flash or wipe. Make sure you do so a few times. Hope everyone had a great new year! !

Yeah I use to only wipe things once, but the past few roms I've been wiping everything 3 times with no problems that I would run into after only wiping once. I've also read a few people saying that after you wipe everything multiple times and flash your rom..flash the rom again directly after...not sure what exactly that does if anything, but a few do it. If anyone knows what exactly that does flashing the rom twice in a row please let me know. Not possible to have too many good habits if your a flashaholik lol.

Is there a superwipe script like there is for the sensation and the amaze it seems to work great. I always get a clean flash and it works great gives you one thing to do before you flash a rom and a clean install.

Ive never wiped cache and dalvik when flashing roms. Maybe I should. Can I do this now after the fact or would this erase all my data?
When exactly do you wipe dalvik and cache? before and after a new rom install?

I guess if your not having any issues then you don't need to worry about. I always wipe dalvik and cache in recovery before a flash a rom or kernel or a theme.

You are lucky if you don't have any problems. You suppose to wipe dalvik and cache partition before flash/install a new rom. Wipe the dalvik and cache partition in recovery shouldn't erase your data, but if you don't have any problems then I guess you're ok.

Lawl. Funny thread.

Did I Flash M5 right?

I flashed AOKP milestone 5, I was coming from M4. I backed up SMS, pics, music and synced to Google for contacts in anticipation that when I wipe/reset I'd lose everything...
Flashed m5 and gapps after wiping and when I rebooted Android started to upgrade them it said something about apps and went configuring apps 1/138 and so on until it was done.
I was booted back into exactly what I had before same settings, apps, music. I went to about screen and I'm on M5 and 4.04
Did something go wrong ? Should I of had to get all my stuff back? Did I do a dirty flash somehow?
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you didn't wipe it properly if it is working good no need to now but if you have problems then you should wipe and reflash.

Did you wipe all 3 areas? And how many times did you wipe?

Any extra input on this? Shall I reflash, I've been going for a few hours now and haven't noticed any problems but I want to be on the safe side

Check the Android revolution thread for the super wipe zip. Flash that then re flash m5.

You are good. It was rebuilding dalvik cache from you wipe before the installation.

So any reason that when I wiped, it well, didn't wipe? I only did data/factory reset in the recovery menu.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

You didn't wipe cache and Dalvik cache.

Factory/data wipe formats cache & data.

I wiped, cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset then flashed AOKP M5 and Gapps again. When i got rebooted, its the same thing.. all my music is there, pics,sms, contacts, apps.
Why wont the phone let me wipe and install a rom fresh?
Is it because im already coming for aokp m4?
It is something to do with Clockwork mod?
Please help.

Try that super wipe lite zip mention earlier or go into the mounts section and format data, cache and system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash rom & gapps again.

i had this problem before when doing factory reset from cwm. i just use fastboot to flash stock 4.0.4 then use cwm to flash aokp.

1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe /system (if you don't wipe this partition it leaves settings and files from the previous rom that could prove problematic)
3) wipe dalvik
4) flash rom
5) flash gapps
if installing a kernel after wards
6) wipe dalvik (again)
7) flash kernel

The music and pics should matter unless your wiping the sd card in recovery the SMS should have been gone after a wipe though

Yeah the SMS is still there.. idk what to do its not like the phone doesn't work or anything but its weird that I can't wipe and start clean I'll prolly have to unroot/ lock the boot loader and start all over. If anyone else has any input, please share

Please help, I installed ROM - Jellybean JRN84D 4.1: Rooted Stock Deodexed busybox - v2

I tried to phone back to factory settings, but always with me after a while the problem occurs again.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Flash other Radio Baseband and use stock Kernel, if this does not work then flash back ICS.
Edit: Did you wiped cache and dalvik cache when you flashed JB?

Yes, I did wipe Dalvik cache and cache and still the problem appeared again.

The question is not if Dalvik and cache was wiped but if you did a full wipe when flashing jb rom?

Yes, I have used before installing I superwipe.

same problem
Mine started doing the same thing after no problems for few days. Did wipe and all that. I'm thinking it might be app related. The ones I installed right before I noticed this are
Automateit pro
Lux
Set CPU

How to flash a new ROM

Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.
On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:
Open CWM
Backup
Install Darkside SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Install Darkside Cachewipe
Reboot
Wait 10 min
Reboot.
While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.
If there's a process can someone please tell me.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.

So does SuperWipe work for every phone?
My .zip file for SuperWipe says SGH-T989_Darkside_superwipe.zip

I would not use the super wipe script from The s2 I believe there is one floating around for ours but I do not use it ... I also recommend u use twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod

This is what I did 2 days ago to install AOKP JB Build 3 and its been working like a charm
Reboot recovery
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot
Haven't had any SOD or RR, should I stick to what I did?

yeah my bad...i also flashed gapps..i forgot to put that in there..
So, should I just stick to what I did previously?

I depends what u are looking for in a ROM..... if u like stock aosp then aokp is probably the most stable but there are tons of features on touchwiz ROMs that have me going back and forth... so its all preference really if u like stock jellybean
Then u are good where u are

Yes but the superwipe does the same thing and it was built for lazy people. I always say "what ever floats your boat". :good:

Lifeless v6 wipe noob question

Hi everyone,
Coming from the og evo. Every time I did a factory wipe for a new version of Deck's ROM (fav), I would lose all my apps, data,ect... I flashed lifeless v6 wiped system and both caches in twrp then choose the recommended factory wipe in aroma. However, after reboot, I still have all my stuff. Did I miss something? Thought I would be restoring with titanium after I flashed.
A big thanks to all the devs working hard to make this phone amazin' :highfive:

Weird. It should wipe everything. What recovery are you using?

You need to do a factory wipe as well. The wipe only does
system, cache, dalvik
the second option only does system.

TWRP 3.2 I believe. Everything seems to running great. Apollo works, no fc on anything. I noticed better WiFi reception after flashing. not sure if that was included in the tweaks or not. Still not sure what happened?! Just to be clear, a factory wipe means everything goes? I guess I'll be keeping it dirty
