I tend to have troubles with roms when i flash them by how the instruction says. For example I only do a factory data reset for cm10.2 then install. I have problems with it after 6 hours, people say it's smooth and amazing so how do I do a clean install?
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partitions
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
After that install rom.

Hi , i just downloaded thewhisps cm10 nightly but i cant find anywhere the correct procedure to install it and i cant ask in dev section , do i have to wipe data factory reset after flashing like maclaw´s one ?, before ? wipe dalvik cache ?
thanks
I wipe cache and dalvik cache and do a factory reset and format sd-ext..flash the rom and then do a factory reset again.
When you flash a new update of the same rom you don't have to wipe

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:

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
In my case, I always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache before install new Custom ROM.
Then, Do i have to wipe cache/dalvik cache before install new kernel?(not DATA)
its a good idea to wipe cache
you dont have to, but you might run into problems if you dont.
There's a lot of posts about a wipe script but there mostly from different phone threads.
I don't see one for the Sprint S3.
Would someone mind creating a wipe script that does
Wipe Factory Reset / Wipe Data (2x)
Wipe System (2x)
Wipe Dalvik Cache (2x)
Wipe Cache (2x)
Wipe Internal SD card ( 1x )
and a 2nd script that only does
Wipe Dalvik Cache ( 2x )
Wipe Cache ( 2x )
I'm using CWM and I don't want to button mash my device to death just to wipe certain categories.
Thankies.

There's no need to wipe anything multiple times. Twrp recovery lets you wipe everything at once

Like i said before, My phone has issues flashing KK AOSP with twrp, I didn't ask if anyone else does or doesn't have this problem.
I just need the wipe script XD

I would still have to navigate through menus to wipe.
xP sorry but I just hate having to do that when I want to fully
clean flash.
With the wipe script I can just use that and I'm one menu away
From flashing ROM.
