[Q] Problems with installing ICS rom

I've tried installing 2 different ICS roms and it just goes into a continous re-boot after install, I've done the factory reset and wipe cache's, any other ideas?

Darkside Super Wipe. You can find it in the dev section.

This is going to sound stupid I'm sure, but what does that wipe do that the other's don't?
Thanks

mods,
you can completely delete this thread if you're not busy, I ended up sticking with the juggernaut rom and phone works great
thanks

Reboot to CWM.
You'll need to full wipe by going to storage & mount
format the following- data, system, and cache.
next go back to the main cwm screen.
wipe factory/data that is on the main CWM screen and wipe cache partition.
afterwards go to advance then wipe delvik cache.
done!
or search for Darkside Super Wipe tool which can be found in the dev section.(pretty much the same thing but in one button)

Having a huge problem with my phone not wiping.

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.

***FORMAT /SYSTEM*** (under mount in CWM I believe)
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel

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!

Phone only plays video when UI shows.

As the title states, my phone only plays video such as on youtube or the twitch.tv app when the ui is present. So once the video title and play/pause buttons disappear then the video, or stream playback stops.
I'm on the newest version of MOAR, clean flash (wiped dalvik system and cache x3), no system data restored through TiBu but I did restore app and app data. I'm using freeza's optimized kernel with no tweaks currently.
I hope someone can help because I can't watch videos without constantly tapping the screen to keep the video playing but then I can only see about half the video lol. Thank you to anyone who tries to help! And let me know if you need anymore info.

You didn't mention a factory reset in the clean install thus not a clean install. You have all data from previous rom underlying under your flash of MOAR. Clean flash consist of wiping cache, and factory reset. Dalvik wipe is not necessary because when you do factory reset it will wipe dalvik also.

If you did not also do a Factory Reset before you Flashed. Then you did not do a Full Wipe. You can try booting into Recovery, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Fix Permissions, and Reboot. If that does not work I would suggest You do a Full Wipe ( System - Data - Dalvik Cache - Cache - Factory Reset ) . Then Flash the Rom. Before Flashing the Rom I would also suggest checking the MD5 Checksum.

As i said in my last post i did do a factory reset, and I did check the md5 checksum as well
Edit: Thanks for reminding me to try clearing caches and fixing permissions, i should've tried that a while ago and all is well again. Thanks for the help guys

Full wipe procedure

Hello,
It's been awhile since I installed a custom rom.
What is the proper procedure in doing a full wipe?
thanks,

I always do a factory reset first. Then wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, and system.

Update to other nightly and see if the problem persists.

It seems i can fix the WiFi if i do a Wipe of the Dalvik Cache. The problem is that i have to do it 2-3 times a day.
Any helps?
