I read that somewhere wiping data wipes your SD card also?
For me.. I
ROM: Wipe> system data, cache, dalvik cache.. Is it a must to wipe data?

In France they call that a bidet.

using CWM for a CLEAN flash

Hey guys, I'm a little confused on how to use CWM to do a CLEAN install. Say if im using cleanROM and i want to jump into JediX or what ever, do I need to go into Recovery, Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and delvik AND format cache, system, preload, sdcard???
Or all have to do is just wipe data/factory reset and wipe delvik and cache?
My method for a ROM switch like that is wipe cache wipe dalvik then factory reset then wipe cache wipe dalvik.Install ROM wipe cache wipe dalvik then fix permissions.Boot phone up don't touch screen or anything let sit for 10-20 minuntes.Then reboot tweak and enjoy.That method has never done me wrong since 2009 .:thumbup:

[SOLVED] Before installing ROM

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

Full wipe procedure

Hello,
It's been awhile since I installed a custom rom.
What is the proper procedure in doing a full wipe?
thanks,
I always do a factory reset first. Then wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, and system.
