Really easy question (I hope!):
I want to flash MoDaCo 2.2, coming from a stock rom the instructions say a wipe is MANDATORY.
Question: How do you do a wipe?
Solved! Wipe / factory reset option was in the recovery.

Hey guys, i wanted to upgrade my x10 mini pro to froyo android, but i have one problem. It seems that all was installed properly, in settings there even stands android version 2.2.1, but the design of the whole phone is like in android 1.6, tried it with 2 versions of ROM, the same problem. Is it something i did? Sorry for my english
thanks for the answer...
try with reflashing your costum rom. but before that wipe dalvik cache, full wipe (factory reset) and install it
i guess stupid question but...what is reflashing? And how to do it?
in xrecovery select factory reset (full wipe)
and then install custom zip (rom that you want)
reflash means that you install rom again
I wan't to install CM7 and I read this instructions:
_________________________________
Instructions:
First time flashing CyanogenMod 7 to the Samsung Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM?
Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
Perform a factory reset.
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
______________________________
I don't get the "Format the system"... and "Perform a factory reset" part
this means to do a cache, data and dalvik? and THEN perform the flash?
thx
If only there was a thread for this kind of thing already. Why did you feel the need to create a new thread, when you're quoting the one you should be posting in anyway?
It also says flash this build only if you know what you are doing. You might want to heed the warning.
Anyway, it means do a full wipe of your system, i.e. factory reset from within ClockworkMod Recovery.
Hey all so after I update my firmware to XWKK5 do I have to wipe everything while in recovery mode is it really necessary?
What do you want to achieve with deleting all from recovery?
If you've upgraded, then the phone is in the version upgraded. If you delete all from recovery, you have to reinstall the entire ROM or the phone wont boot...
Thought I had to Wipe Data / factory reset and Wipe Cache Partition?

Instructions are to be followed .
Custom roms usually ask for wipe but not stock roms .

You don't need to do that if you are upgrading from a Stock ROM. If you chose the wipe version of ROM for flashing then it'll automatically wipe you device. If you use non-wipe it'll upgrade and everything remains same.
Wipe is only recommended when you are switchin from Custom to Stock or vice-versa else after a version downgrade say KK5 to KJ3.
Hope it helped.
I'm selling my phone and wonder if a full wipe will take out the rom too. Any takers on this noob question?
No, a full wipe will erase only the apps installed (and its data too), but the cROM will persist.
Thanks for the help, Rober
select mounts and storages and wipe(format) system.
that depends on the rom really. Doing a factory reset on some custom rooms will clause a boot loop as it removes some files need for the rom. Best bet would be to do a full wipe and reinstall the rom before you reboot.
I have a P7500 with Overcome v2.3.1 installed, and I want to install the Stock ICS rom from this topic.
What is the better way to install it? Can I just flash it over my current rom with recovery? Or do I have to flash it with Odin? If possible, post a link with the better procedure.
Thanks!
Just flash it in recovery.
Make sure to wipe completely. Such as cache, dalvick, factory reset.
The typical procedures when installing a new ROM.
Installation Instructions
Download ROM and put on SD Card (Obvious but it must be said)
Boot into CWM Recovery and perform a FULL WIPE!!! (Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik cache!!!)
IMPORTANT!!! YOU MUST PERFORM THE WIPE PROCESS BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM!!!
Flash ROM
Reboot!!! Done!!!
