Im have my Note 2 (L900) rooted and it has philz custom recovery installed (lasted version 6.x.x) i am currently running stock 4.3 JB. I have downloaded and would like to install AOKP ( jb-mr2) milestone 1, the last stable JB 4.3 rom they have. I have the proper gapps downloaded as well. My question is when flashing should i choose to factory reset or clear for a new rom? If im missing anything else or any steps please also inform me.
You need to do a full wipe.

I know to wipe both caches, i know to do a factory reset/wipe data. With philz custom recovery there are to options that come up when you choose to do a factory reset. 1: wipe data/ factory reset or option 2: clean to install new rom. Should i just choose option 2? Ive looked thru the thread about the custom recovery and everything. Nobody suggests which option to do or which is better. Please help.

This may have been asked before but I just want to be sure.
When I want to install a custom rom, it says to do a wipe/factory reset. But I read that it will wipe the sd-ext partition. now if I'm not using one, or I'm coming from stock, will it touch the SD card at all, besides getting the files to install?

Thanks for the quick reply
Just got a T999 GS3 today. Already rooted and installed TWRP. I do not have an External SD card, so I will be putting the ROM that I want to flash (CM10 Stable) on internal SD card. But since I have to WIPE everything before I install the Custom ROM, how do I make sure that I don't wipe the custom ROM install zip as well?
Do I just do a WIPE of cache, dalvik cache, and system? And make sure that I do not wipe internal storage?
Or is there something else to this?
Thanks!!
Do a factory reset wipe system then wipe both caches install ROM wipe both caches again and fix permissions you should be good.

No, there is a seperate option for that.
1. Factory reset
2. Flash ROM and various files
3. reset dalvik cache and cache
4. Reboot
Easy as that
Which method you followed to root? I just got the phone and look ing for the easy way to root. I heard a lot about lost the IMEI so I'm kind of worry
Thanks all. I'm now running CM10 stable and all seems to be well.

I actually used this method: http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/10/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-mac-osx.html. It worked fine and took about 20 seconds. I then used Goo Manager to install TWRP, and then I installed CM10 and Gapps. Whole process took literally about 10 minutes. Wasn't even aware of the IMEI issue prior to rooting. I will have to remember to backup my IMEI sometime today.
Okay, so I have a sprint galaxy s3 which I rooted the way that is shown on this page through odin and clockwork mod. I only rooted just to get tether, but now I want to try a custom rom for the first time and it says I have to wipe cache and reset wipe data (reset factory settings) inside of the bootloader before flashing the rom. My question is, will my backed up copy of recovery which I made last week be erased if it is on the internal memory card as I do not have an external sd card. I just have the 16gb galaxy s3. I ask this in case the rom does not flash properly so I can flash my recovery again and save my phone from being a brick. I have read and it seems to say all of the data in the internal memory will be wiped, so will that wipe my backed up recovery which is inside the clockworkmod folder

While I don't know the answer to that question I do highly recommend you get an external SD, even like an 8 GB which is what I'm using right now. It acts as a safety net, I keep all my valuables on there in case something does go wrong (nandroids, music, ROMs). Practice safe flashing!
I do know, however, that as long as you simply do a factory reset you do retain your pictures and music, but as for nandroids I am not sure

1. I stupidly selected "format /system" in CWM in preparation for flashing a new ROM.
2. Soft bricked my phone, put new ROM (slim bean 4.3beta) on SD card and flashed it successfully.
3. Everything works great, I still have CWM and slimbean is awesome but, I don't have root access. I don't know how to get it without reflashing everything (and at this point I don't know if that'll do anything)
Is there a simple way to permanently re-obtain root access? Thank you.
If it's a 4.3 ROM you'll need to flash chainfires newest su , don't have the link but you can find them throughout xda or Google search
Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.
You can also go into settings development and enable root for apps and add on 4.3 the usually just add is enabled when first flashed on 4.3

I don't know why formatting system would soft brick? I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, then go into mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache, just to be sure of a super clean install and I have never had an issue??

I'm not totally sure about it either to be completely honest. It was confusing so I just put a new ROM on my exsd and went ahead that way.
Title basically says it all.
I have been able to install TWRP on a S4 Mini. Do I need anything else to flash CM13?

No, but most people would flash gapps 6 too, else you will miss a lot (must be done at the same time as the ROM the first time to set permissions)

Copy CM13 rom and gapp in your sd card.
Backup your old firmware through twrp.
Do a factory Reset from Wipe.
And install CM13 and gapp respectively.
And enjoy ^_^

checked every file hash matches, did exactly as written, done all of above and it doesn't work
TWRP went on in less than 10 second does that sound normal ? and how do you know if its actually on there?
Nope. Installation take atleast 2 or 3 minutes.
and if its installed properly you would have seen different rom from the stock.
Here is what i use for s4 mini(i9192). Also used it on i9190 model as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-25-apr-2016-t3366314
and these steps mentioned in the website.
A. Initial install
1. Copy ROM and Gapps to your external SD Card or internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and Gapps
5. Reboot
Its simple. Should have worked.
I hope you have installed your model rom.
A question the system format is required to install the rom ??

In TWRP Swipe for factory reset will do the job. you can also do dalvik /art cache in advance wipe. System or other wipe never did it for changing roms.

Ie that enough only to make WIPE FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE is not necessary to the FORMAT SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE ??
sorry i do not understand.
to install a rom just do a factory reset. nothing else is necessary.
If you do not do factory reset, sometimes you will not be able to install a new version of rom(for example, from kitkat to lollipop).
if you do not do factory reset its called dirty flash.
for example
you are using custom rom cm13. and it has a new update released, you go in twrp recovery and install the updated rom without doing factory reset. this way you can keep all the application and data you have.
i hope i am making some sense. it is hard for me to explain.
well do some flashing and you will understand but always make a backup.
