Hi All,
So I've just unlocked my bootloader, flashed .79 firmware and flashed DooMKernel v14
My question is what do i need to do before installing the ROM from my SD card
Format the phone "Factory Reset"?
Wipe dalvik cache?
Wipe cache partition?
Also if I'm wanting to try another ROM do I need to do any of the above before installing a different one?
Thanks

Yes wipe data(factory reset), then wipe dalvik cache and cache. You need to do this when switching ROMs. If its an update of same ROM and OP say there is no need for wipes then dont, otherwise always wipe.

Re: Before installing ROM
Dalvik is contained in /data if I remember. I thought it was system, data, and cache that you had to wipe.

Yep I agree
I do the following:
(1) Wipe cache/data/advanced dalvik cache
(2) Mounts&Storage format cache/data/system
(3) Install rom.
Maybe you do not need to do all that but I do and don't get any bootloops

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! I RECENTLY FLASHED THE 2012-09-08 07:33:31 NIGHTLY AND THEN GOT BOOT LOOPED! I WAS ON CWM 6.0.1.1 AND NOW IM ON 6.0.1.3. I TRIED:
1. Factory Reset
2. Re Flashing CM10
BUT NOTHING
PLEASE HELP ME SOON!
THANK YOU
maybe you need to odin and start over.
Try re-downloading the ROM. Wipe system, data, and cache. Try to flash again. It's worth a try before using Odin to reset.

How do I wipe system? there is wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache
One thing i forgot to mention.
When i first flashed CM9 I was not on CWM 6.0.1.1 ( I was on a previous version).
Sometime after, when I flashed the Stable CM9, or something earlier, It got changed to 6.0.1.1. What I think might be the problem is that I need to go back to the previous versions of CWM and then flash the CM10 rom( not the ERA one)

Thank You SO MUCH, It works now!

Okay, so I wipe the cache, dalvik, system before flashing the ROM, and after I flash the kernel through bootloader too, but my old apps are still there and stuff?? Even though I'm coming from a totally different ROM... I have TWRP 2.3.1.0 btw.
No,since you did a full wipe

Because you did not wipe data, the old data still there.
for erasing data do factory reset.

It is under "advanced" and click on "Wipe Dalvik Cache" then "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache"
There's a lot of posts about a wipe script but there mostly from different phone threads.
I don't see one for the Sprint S3.
Would someone mind creating a wipe script that does
Wipe Factory Reset / Wipe Data (2x)
Wipe System (2x)
Wipe Dalvik Cache (2x)
Wipe Cache (2x)
Wipe Internal SD card ( 1x )
and a 2nd script that only does
Wipe Dalvik Cache ( 2x )
Wipe Cache ( 2x )
I'm using CWM and I don't want to button mash my device to death just to wipe certain categories.
Thankies.

There's no need to wipe anything multiple times. Twrp recovery lets you wipe everything at once

You could flash clockworkmod touch recovery?

I would still have to navigate through menus to wipe.
xP sorry but I just hate having to do that when I want to fully
clean flash.
With the wipe script I can just use that and I'm one menu away
From flashing ROM.
