I'm planning to sale my Defy, keeping it with CM9. I guess to wipe it before saling I should boot into recovery and select wipe, right? Or is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks,
You also do Backup and reset and then factory reset
I don't want a Tapatalk sig!
But won't the factory reset erase CM?

No, just your data.

I just sifted through the forum and couldnt find anything so is there a special thing you have to do if you want to return to Sense after CM 7 and MIUI? Or can you just flash a Sense rom?
I remember on the Fascinate we had to ODIN a stock ROM after because of MTD BLM.
No you can just flash. Well you should clear data/cache.
I normally wipe data factory
wipe cache
format system
clear davlik
clear battery
then flash.
Might be to much but thats normally what I do and Ive never had any problems.

I would definitely wipe all those, especially from an AOSP Rom to a Sense Rom
FWIW, I do the same, except I don't bother to wipe battery stats.

Make sure you return to a stock kernel as well (if you changed it). From what I have heard, sense and AOSP kernels are not compatible with each other.

This is TRUE!
Better yet... Couldn't U just make a backup of the sense then just restore it

I searched and couldn't find it. Is there an easy way to uninstall a custom theme? I am using Jellybomb but it seems to be killing my battery quickly. Do I have to factory wipe or is there a way to uninstall the theme cleanly?
Thank you all
Restore nandroid...or probably a dirty flash of the Rom you're running....
Reinstall the rom... Do a dalvik and cache wipe.. Should be fine not doing a factory reset...

Thanks folks! Sadly I forgot to nandroid before jellybomb, my last nandroid is blazer 1.6 lol. Oh well it is my punishment to have to re install 1.7
Like naddict said you should be able to reflash without factory wipe which means you won't loose data/apps/settings/etc.

Well a clean install would be when you wipe EVERYTHING and start fresh. So a dirty flash is when you flash but don't wipe everything first.
And, yes, I am ignoring all the different jokes that could be made.
What's the best way to fully wipe before flashing a new ROM? I don't mean wiping from cwm. In my old phone which was the atrix, I could fully wipe using fastboot but the gs3 is different.

The quickest/most efficient/safest way to fully wipe is using the wipe menu in cwm or twrp
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, then go into mounts & storage and format system all in recovery
What does formatting /data in mounts in storage delete? I tried looking for the guide I saw weeks ago. I Just need to know what to backup (pictures, music etc)

The data partition... It's not a needed step because the Wipe Data / Factory Reset does that, but I do it anyways...
Ok so because it's redundant I won't lose my pictures and music because I don't lose it after a factory reset?

None of those steps will wipe your internal or external SD, but the options for that do exist in recovery...
Hi, can i factory reset on this rom? I'm running doom kernel with 2.3.4 , so my question is if i can do this or the rom will get stucked ..

You can do a factory reset but I don't recommend that because if you did that, all tweaks/mods that the developer have done them or put them into his ROM will be wiped and the ROM will be just like stock.
If you need to do a factroy reset then reflash the ROM through recovery.
If you do a factory reset on a custom rom you will bootloop. Use flashtool to do a clean install of stock firmware.
OMFG what are you guys saying? Factory reset is just wiping data/cache/dalvik. It does not touch system partition of course you can do this but the ROM will be totally clean. You will lose all your apps, text messages, but the system and sd-card will remain untouched.

Dixperia has a lot of addons which replaces the system apps. Yes you can get a bootloop.

Nope. I used Dixperia before and I did a factory reset when I was using it and I didn't get bootloop, but as I said tweaks will be wiped.
OK I wanted to to if you have to factory reset and all that when you flash a new update on a rom. Or do you just flash it without clearing your data. Thanks.

If you're updating you can just wipe cache and dalvik :good:

A lot of the time you don't even have to do that, you can just go ahead and flash. It's always a good idea though. It's also good to do a full reset when flashing updates from, i.e., CM10 to 10.1.
