I'm planning to sale my Defy, keeping it with CM9. I guess to wipe it before saling I should boot into recovery and select wipe, right? Or is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks,
You also do Backup and reset and then factory reset
I don't want a Tapatalk sig!
But won't the factory reset erase CM?

No, just your data.

OK I wanted to to if you have to factory reset and all that when you flash a new update on a rom. Or do you just flash it without clearing your data. Thanks.

If you're updating you can just wipe cache and dalvik :good:

A lot of the time you don't even have to do that, you can just go ahead and flash. It's always a good idea though. It's also good to do a full reset when flashing updates from, i.e., CM10 to 10.1.

hi,
I will flash this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016452
the stock odexed version but I've a question: for flash this ROM from CWM, I wipe system partition?
Yeah but you better Google some stuff before you get started. Do you have root? Custom recovery? What are you currently running?
And you need to do wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/format system if you want a clean install.

Now I have the Android 4.2.2 ROM of bigxie, the deodexed version.
Is the wipe of system necessary?

Probably not, but there really is no reason not to do it. It takes maybe 5 seconds, and there are zero downsides to doing it.

I don't like it but ok XD
I totally agree, for a clean install, its not a must but is recommended to format system...
4.3 back to 4.2?
will there be any issues going from 4.3 back to 4.2?
I need to update radio and bootloader first?
Greetings friends of the Forum. I installed and uninstalled many roms, now appeared a bug that I do not know if it is caused for had made many installed Roms customs. with all the customs ROMs every often and with a simple tasks like opening an app the Xperia ZL crash about 2 or 3 minutes and then reboot. So my question is how to make a Super Wipe from Recovery? I mean clean the whole phone (Except MicroSD) so deleted safely all the data in the internal memory and phone for then I can Installs a rom Stock (*. tft). Right now I already Flashed Stock Rom, through Flashtool, the last versión (.569) and I am testing it to see if the bug is fixed and see if the failure appeared only with the customs roms. I want to make you know that I have used Custom roms Stable and nightlys and both versions crashed and rebooted.

Hi, Do you mean I have to do:
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
Format sdcard
For a super wipe and super clean and then install the new rom?
Is those 4 process safe?

Don't wipe sdcard, that is your sdcard and you may have files there you don't want wiped. System, data, cache, and dalvik-cache are the ones to wipe.

Sdcard is the internal memory and it is not the external memory (sdcard 1) can I format it?

Shouldn't be an issue... are you still having problems?
If you're having problems, and don't care about anything on your phone...
Pull your external SD, and use the Sony tool to flash a clean downloaded sony stock rom to your phone.
You'll lose root, but if you're having problems anyway, it might be a good idea to just go back to a complete factory reset...

Do you wipe data after installing a custom rom? (You should always wipe it!)

In recovery, before installing the rom,
goto mounts and storage then select
Format data
Format cache
It will erase all ur apps so take a backup before.

Is it safe to format it?
I'm looking to upgrade to 4.3 via flashtool. Is it safe to do it without checking wipe data and cache?

Yeah it is absolutely safe but you should consider a fresh firmware install because nothing is better than a clean install... Hit thanks if I helped
