Perform a full wipe (Go to Clockworkmod Recovery, here, select "Data Wipe / Factory Reset". Then, go to "Mounts and Storage", select "Format /system, Format /cache and Format /data")and install another ROM. (If you had read the last few pages of the topic, you would have known it was unstable)

ok guys its fixed all i really did was flas utmost and all was fixed dont know y other roms didnt work and it seems to fix most problems ive had
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.
[Q] rooted dinc; install TOB3.0 - format mounts and storage? status 7 & more issues
I've been working hard to get my dinc rooted, and am about to install Touch of Blue 3.0, but just want to double-check what to do to 'format everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard' because I believe my first installation attempt failed because I didn't do that.
My first attempt....
I rooted the dinc using the instructions over on android forums - all things root - how to root, and also upgraded the hboot/radio.
Then I then tried to install TOB3.0 by wiping cache & dalvik cache and installing zip from sd card. I got an error -- set_perms failed and then failed with Status 7. (This is the same error I got at this point a month ago when rooting another dinc and trying to install the rooted stock GB ROM. Then, I installed TOB2.2 and that worked fine.) After the Status 7, in trying to get out of that, I somehow put the phone into a boot loop, and it kept booting to the white screen w/ green HTC Incredible. Soooo, took the battery out to get out of that, and went to my back-up of stock unrooted froyo. many hours later, I am now at: 2.2 froyo 3.26.605.1; rooted; unlocked; s-off; radio 2.15.10.12.20
Now I want to install TOB3.0 correctly. I did see that I didn't follow the TOB3.0 directions the first time and didn't 'format everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard'. Do I do this by going into CWM -> mounts and storage and then doing 'format /boot', 'format /system' etc for everything except 'format /emmc' and 'format /sdcard'? Then do wipe cache/dalvik cache and install zip from sdcard?
Could skipping the formatting be the reason for my 'set_perms ... Status 7' error in the first place? If the installation fails again with the set_perms problem, I see that there is a Fix Permissions option in CWM, but I don't know how to use that.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes do the wipe just as you said above. Not wiping could have been the issue. Also just a recomendation, but i would consider upgrading to TWRP recovery.

Also, you can try twrp 2.8.0.1 (the one that I use).
Head up to recovery -> Wipe -> Advanced wipe
From there you can chose what to wipe (except boot, this s**t cannot be wiped).
And if this doesnt help you, just remove your SD card, go to recovery -> wipe -> factory reset (wipes everything, not sure if wiping SD card data, but it's better to remove it first) and this should do your work.
It's always working for me, even when the ROM developer says "use the recommended recovery"
Hi!
I have Galaxy Tab 3 GT-P5200 10,1" with modem 3G
Does anyone have a problem with not detecting sim card?
I have installed this ROM by using:
- ROM: cm-13.0-20161210-UNOFFICIAL-santos103g
- houdini_6.0.0_x.47745
- open_gapps-x86-6.0-stock-20170228
- TWRP 3.0.2-0-santos103g and following instruction:
Copy ROM to SDCard
Copy Houdini to SDCard
Copy GApps to SDCard
Boot into recovery
Backup EFS partition
Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Dalvik Cache + System + Cache + Data
Install ROM
Install Houdini
Install GApps
Reboot
First start takes a long time
WiFi is working fine, but SIM CARD is not detected.
When I tried install stock ROM by using TWRP I got bootloop. Could you tell me, what can I do?
Thanks in advance for help ,
Michael

Post it in your ROM's thread please.
