Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!

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.
Please help...
I own not 2 n7100
The phone does not work after install Room cm-10.1.3-n7100 Android 4.2.2
For science, I have installed an incompatible Kernal this,
I think you solve this problem?
Did you do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) before flashing the CM10.1? If not, wipe and reflash.

Hello guys,
i have a problem with my device. After I installed Hyperdrive Rom it says that the installation was succesful, but when I want to reboot the device it only boots into downloading mode. Before Installation i wiped dalvik cache, cache and data. Any suggestions why? Is the bootloader broken?

Can you boot into recovery? If so, try to do another clean install. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, and data. Then flash the ROM and see if that fixes it.
Thread can be closed. A friend helped me by sending me a backup of his rom.
So I have a 360 and a rooted note 4 running a custom ROM. Every time I wipe cache & dalvik I have to factory reset my watch. Is there a way around this?

Something doesn't sound right. I have a rooted S5 with a custom rom and wipe Cache & davik (actually ART) frequently without having to factory reset my Moto360. If you're wiping the system or clean installing a rom, that's a different story.
