Just clear Dalvik cache and cache.
And then flash the RC5 over the RC4, no need to wipe factory settings.
Just make sure u wipe the caches, but not DATA.

Wiping Dalvik Cache is not a must. I never wipe mine. And, I have no problems so far.

[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

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?

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.

Update to other nightly and see if the problem persists.

It seems i can fix the WiFi if i do a Wipe of the Dalvik Cache. The problem is that i have to do it 2-3 times a day.
Any helps?
