When I try to wipe data, the phone reboots itself into CWM and data is not wiped. This is causing problems when trying to switch ROMS. Thanks!

If you went and wiped cache only, not data, and installed a new rom, would all data remain? What exactly is this cache that nandroid wipes?
I'd like to install a rom for a friend but dont want to completley wipe his phone. I just want to install the virtuous rom, which is basically the stock 2.2 update rom and would like to keep all his data on the phone. would just wiping the cache work? I know some people just install without wiping but would wiping cache help?
And I know a wipe is always better, thats what I do on my phone. But its not mine and would like to save his data.
H'okay. So. I had Myn's 2.2 and I wanted to try out something different so I decided on CM7 RC2.
I do a nandroid backup (ofcourse) and then proceed to wipe my cache/factory reset. I then flash CM7 and then do a partial restore of my data for my apps/contacts.
I then proceed to the boot screen and it just loops, over and over again. Without loading my data, CM7 boots just fine... so what in my data is preventing me from being able to boot into CM7?
Thanks in advance!
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, reboot system.
Try not restoring the data part of the applications. I've heard sometimes issues can arise from that.

What am I supposed to restore to get apps/contacts back then? :3
What you should do is backup your apps with titanium, backup your rom, then wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik cache, flash the rom. on the first boot, it may take an extra couple of minutes. After you sign in, blah blah, open titanium backup, then restore apps with data, NOT system settings.
What you have to do is flash Calkulin's Format All zip. This will delete everything except for the SD card. While still in recovery reflash CM7 and then while STILL in recovery flash the proper Gaaps. You follow these tlstwps I guarantee it will work without a problem. FYI, in terms of restoring your apps with data more than likely it wont work. I have always had trouble restoring AP data when going from Sense to AOSP (CM) Hope this helped.
Hello all,
I've been having issues with apps force closing even after several full wipes and trying several different roms.
I can't seem to get everything cleared off and I'm assuming some of it is kept on internal memory/storage? I have even tried another SD card. I have not wiped the SD cards though. Could this be the issue?
Is there anything else I can do to fully wipe my EVO 4G?
Thank you,

Make sure you are doing data factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, cache, boot, system, data while in vrecovery when you switch roms.

You can flash vr-superwipe before you flash a new ROM it will wipe everything for you 3 times, also do all the wipes your self data,system, cache,dalvik cache, boot basically every wipe option in recovery except your sdcard and battery stats.
Here is a link to the wipe all zip if you want it , it also wipes any temp files made by apps that are on your sdcard.

Hi all, my S3 is on I747UCUEMJB and has CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed. I've tried to make a backup, both initiated through the ROM
Manager app and from recovery.
The issue I'm having, and I've had this issue multiple times, is that after restoring a backup (seemingly ANY backup), I get a TON of force closes making the phone unusable. I believe its the data partition doing it because I've done a factory reset and the phone works fine, but doing an advance restore of /data makes the force closes happen again.
I've been out of the S3 loop for a LONG time, is CWM still the backup of choice, or is it TWRP or Philz? Which version? I'm planning on flashing CM11 and/or upgrading to a stock 4.4.2 ROM or based ROM.
Are you doing a full wipe of the system, data, cache, and Dalvik before restoring?
