[SOLVED] frustrated flashing rom - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Problem:
I can't flash any custom rom successfully.
At first, I use CWM but I can't wipe dalvik cache.
Then, I switched to RZ recovery and it can wipe dalvik cache for me.
I wipe dalvik, data, cache before flashing many new roms, however, it just doesn;t work....just stay at s5660, some kind of screens
[solved]:
1. install EXT4 formatter via CWM5.0.2.7 rfs+ext4( I am using Stock RFS system ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650
If you have error status 6, unzip and repack it (save only or compressed best)
2.wipe data/factory reset and wipe data
3. advance-> wipe dalvik cache
4. flash a ext4 only CWM
5. flash MIUI ROM and it was successful

Re: frustrated flashing rom
Did you move from rfs to ext4??
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

I am using RFS format
tried cwm rfs or ext4. both not working to wipe dalvik
tried ext4 formatter but installation aborted (status 6))

anyone have idea?
Where can I find some old CWM to try? I can only find 5.0.2.7.

you need a recovery which supports RFS+EXT4 file system.check on development section.

Did you Wipe userdata before flashing?
hi,
gives few details more plz
Yes, i did wipe factory data, ext cache and dalvik cache. Then i installed Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 and then the ROM. And before all that i created the ext3 partition with rom manager, and installed the alignment-ext3.

I would partition your sd-card again following this guide:
http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/partitioning-your-sd-card-ready-for-a2sd
After this is finished, wipe all userdata (full wipe) and flash leedroid rom again.
No warranty for any damage!
Only install the alignment ext3 if you HAVE problems, it's painfully mis-documented in the official thread. Same thing happened to me. Do the following:
Format SD card, create correct partitions using gparted or Partition Manager.
Reboot into recovery by pushing Vol Down + Power, Recovery.
Wipe Cache, Data, D-cache.
Flash rom, reboot.
Don't flash the alignment patch.
Should be fine
ya..exactly..repartition the card.then just flash the rom..dont flash ext3 alignment..same prob happenend with me too..don worry!!

[CWM][ZIP] Defy Ultimate Wipe™

I had problems with wiping stuff on recovery, and I created these ZIPs with scripts to wipe my defy.
When I saw that others had problems wiping too, i thought that I could help by releasing these ZIPs.
Note: These zips do not push any files to any partitions, they just contain scripts run in recovery to perform desired task.
So, here they are:
FULL WIPER
-Wipes /system,/data,/cache
DO NOT REBOOT AFTER USING THIS OR YOU'LL NEED TO FLASH SBF
ext3 version
ext4 version
***********
CACHE WIPER
-Wipes /cache
ext3 version
ext4 version
***********
DATA & CACHE WIPER
-Wipes /cache and /data
ext3 version
ext4 version
Every zip can be found here : LINK
And please do not come to tell me that this is completely useless, if you can wipe normally, good 4 you
Nice one. it's faster than clicking all the CWM menu!
Can u add one that wipe dalvik and cache?

Awesome!

As far as I know, the dalvik cache is in the /cache partition, use cache wiper

Works for me!
I love these, use them everytime! Cache wiping in custom recovery doesn't work for me either anymore... This is far easier than switching to stock recovery and then bla bla bla!
Absolutely agree! Great Job!
After full wipe and install CM10 i got boot loops on red Moto logo. Defy+ bl7

Uao why i didn't see this before? i really searched for something similar a lot! At last i will get rid of gapps that normal factory reset don't delete! thanks!!
Two questions: do you confirm full wiper does delete dalvik also?
And do these scripts still work now also with ext4 formatted partitions?

in the script data and cache is loaded as ext3 I don't know if it's formate it right, try it later and report, but u can easily rewrite the script to ext4 if it's needed.

thanks.. but I wouldn't know how to modify the script.. by the way I may use it with ext3 no problem.
also, I still don;t know how to check if my partitions are really ext3 or ext4.. so I think I will revert them to ext3 anyway.. (mount command show the driver used to mount the partitions, not the real format of the partitions.. and fstab I think is not fully reliable..)
congrats, your ass is now wiped.. I'm loving it!!

Just flash the Full wipe zip before you flash custom rom, it will wipe everything and you'll have clean partitions and less bugs.
Be careful though, flash your rom after wipe zip. without rebooting. if you reboot, you'l' have to flash an sbf since /system got wiped.

question:
if I use full wiper ext4 version on ext3 partitions, will the partitions be formatted to ext4, or should I run ext4 full wiper only on already formatted ext4 partitions?
thanks for clarifying and sorry for stupid question

First update your CWM using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637
Before flashing a new ROM it’s always a good idea to:
***create a backup****
*wipe data/factory reset
*wipe cache partition
*go to Mounts and Storage and select format /system
*go to advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
*Fix Permissions
Reboot and enjoy your new rom.

How to Flash a ROM Properly?
I recommend the following procedures because it is safe and recommended by CyanogenMod and also I recommend the users of Clockworkmod Recovery v5.0.2.7, to update for v6.0.2.9 which is Pretty Good & Working Perfectly.
How to Flash a ROM Properly using Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.9 ?
For Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.2.9, DarkSide Super Wipe & DarkSide Cache Wipe Zips are not necessary
Reboot to Clockworkmod Recovery
1. Backup Current ROM.
2. Go to Wipe data/factory reset, then Do a Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Mounts and Storage, then Format /system -> Format /data & Format /cache.
4. Go to Advanced, then Do a Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Install the ROM Zip from the SD Card or Internal Memory & then Install New GApps for CM10.1.
6. Reboot and Let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes.
Note: Restore apps without data if your are using any backup tools such as TitaniumBackup etc., Restoring Apps with data cause Problems
How to Update ROM Properly?
After Installing CM10.1, If you want to update to new Nightly or Stable, a full wipe is not required.
We can do a Dirty Flash as Follows. This will not erase data & its Safe.
1. Reboot to Clockworkmod Recovery
2. Do a Wipe cache partition
3. Go to Advanced, then Do a Wipe dalvik cache
4. Install the ROM Zip from the SD Card or Internal Memory & Reboot.

Wipe t999

I flashed route 66 4.3 update via Odin last night, however I would like to do a clean install. How can I wipe the internal memory so I can re-flash via odin? I'm trying to remove all apps etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is a script that can be flashed through a custom recovery that will completely wipe your internal memory clean. I have it on my S3. I'm on my nexus 5 now so I don't have access to it right now. If someone doesn't have a better suggestion I'll share it with you when I can.
Typed from Nexus 5, ZFFZ
Go into recovery and format /Data. If you are on TWRP, there should be an Erase Internal in the Wipe settings. Not sure about Clockwork.
Boot to recovery.
Wipe /Cache
Wipe /Dalvik-Cache
Factory Reset.
Format /System
Format /Data
Profit!!!
In recovery Format Data =/= Wipe Data
Format is erasing your internal
Wipe is wiping your app data.
Edit: If you want to flash what Jorge said above, just search for XquiziT's Superwipe and you might be able to find it.
superwipe doesn't work, i get an error and reboots back into 4.3
