If you're rooted on Froyo 2.2 just flash any Gingerbread ROM you want...
1. Download rom of your choice to your sd card
2. Boot into recovery, backup your current rom
3. From recovery, do a full wipe [wipe cache, factory/data, and dalvik cache [under advanced if using cwm recovery] ]
4. Install zip > choose zip > locate rom > flash, accept everything
5. Reboot
thx for commenting- have a question- step 3

No, it only wipe the data on the phone, your sd card contents won't be touched.
It might be best to wipe sd-ext if you have it.
Also, wiping the android.secure folder on your sdcard.
To avoid any issues.
thx for the advice mattykinsx

You're welcome, brah.
Ok guyz, it's a silly question but still i wanna clarify myself. Here's how i flash a new rom
1) reboot to recovery
2) format/factory reset
3) wipe cache partition
4) install from sd card ( rom )
5) reboot
6) install from sd card ( gapps)
No problem in this at all. Ext partition remains as i don't need to create partition everytime ( very happy about this though ).
But in few threads i've read about 'wipe dalvik cache' and more before flashing. What effect would that have though ?
Can anyone please clarify this for me.

If you wipe data and cache, there's no need to wipe dalvik cache as well, since it's stored on those partitions, so it gets wiped alongside them.
Also of you do a factory reset inside the recovery there's no need to wipe cache again, since the factory reset wipes it as well.

Factory reset
Flash the zip file (ROM)

1. Which CWM version are you using
2. What ROM are you trying to flash
The first thing you should realize, is that formatting the /system means that Android no longer exist in your phone. Therefore you can no longer boot into your phone; boot into Recovery instead.
The second thing: Are you sure you're trying to flash a ROM explicitly made for the W? ROM from different devices most likely will not be able to run on the W. In fact, the error message "No space on this device" might very well mean that CWM tried to flash the ROM onto the wrong partition.

Can anyone confirm the wipe options of newest TWRP ? wipe cache and dalvik cache i know but I am unsure about the "wipe internal storage" and "wipe data" option ? Which option should I choose if i am coming from PA 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 ?
DONT wipe data.. in twrp wiping data will also wipe sdcard.. when flashing roms do a factory reset
Factory reset will delete all the app related data , right ? My contacts, mms , etc will also get deleted ? But the data/media will be intact ?

twrp is alot better than cwm IMO, its faster and it flashes roms better, i am saying this from experiece when i had a s2 i use to have issues with cwm but twrp never let me down..
and most roms wipe system before installing the rom but i wipe it anyway.. this is how i flash ANY rom, even updates of the same rom, and never have issues
1. factory reset
2. wipe system
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
7. flash AK kernel(optional)
8. reboot
9. wait 10 mins then do another reboot
10. enjoy :good:

Thanks again, for updates for same rom u also factory reset ? That means every time u setup your apps, contact , mms ? That would be painstakingly time consuming .
There are apps that can back up your apps and app data as well as text messages. Its not that time consuming. Some launchers can backup layouts, too, so that cuts down on having to reset your home screens. Contacts can be synced with your Google account, unless I misunderstood the contact comment, so much like your email they are synced when you enter your account details.

This is pretty much the formula I follow.
1) Wipe cache
2) Wipe Dalvik (a little redundant since dalvik resides in /cache)
3) Factory reset
4) Wipe System (like said above, most ROMs wipe /system but I do not anyway)
5) Flash ROM
6) Flash GApps
7) Flash kernel of choice
8) Fix permissions
9) Reboot
10) I immediately install Titanium Backup and batch restore all apps and app data before signing into my Google accounts
11) Reboot back into recovery and fix permissions again
12) Wipe dalvik again so everything is optimized
13) Reboot
14) Set up ROM how you like it.
The other thing I do is copy Nova Launcher into /system/app and get rid of Trebuchet.apk or Launcher2.apk as well as live wallpapers and other things I consider bloat. Nova let's you back up all your configs and settings so I just restore that. I'm usually back up and running in 30 minutes or so, I could pretty much do it in my sleep...

I 100% guarantee you that a factory reset will leave your sd card intact, I do it every day almost. The only way to nuke your internal storage is to wipe data, which nukes /data/media (basically your sd card) and pretty much everything else, or wiping internal storage will also nuke your sd card...

If I remember there are two options in TWRP , one is wipe data and wipe internal storage , so both do the same work , nukes data/media ? So what is the point of keeping both of them ?

Internal storage nukes just the sd card, wiping data nukes all internal storage, sd card, system, etc, if you do that you basically have to flash a stock image with fastboot...

I have never tried the factory reset option with my GNEX, but using it on a Galaxy S or Galaxy Ace definitely erased the entire internal storage. It would als mean the factory reset warning is incorrect. Strange stuff.

If that is the case then I think the nomenclature is pretty confusing and misdirecting ,
factory reset = only app related data and contacts and mms
wipe data = everything including system also
wipe internal storage = data/media.
As far as I know the factory reset option in the rom itself nukes the data/media and app related data also , what in the case for recoveries are different .Wipe data option shouldn't be there in the recovery as it can be pretty dangerous if someone accidentally does it.

If you look at the link that Petrovski80 included, you and he are talking about two different "factory reset"s... on that is part of the Android OS and the other that is TWRP...

If I'm not wrong, wiping data means that u have erased your current ROM, and you need to reinstall a new rom.

It will be. You can mount the phone in mass storage mode with "Mount USB storage" to copy the zip over after, however. Most people here use an external SD (sdcard1).
