i'm looking for well explained tutorial on doing a fullwipe before flashing new rom.
thanks...
What phone and firmware do you have and what rom do you want to flash to it ?
before you flash it, make sure you do a backup of course in case anything goes wrong.
i believe you just need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
Depending on your phone, there are many ways to do a full wipe. You can do it manually in recovery, you could flash Calkulin's format all, or you could flash Virus Rom's superwipe (which is basically calkulin's format all flashed 3 times)
Thanks, I'm using 1.3 leedroid

Is it possible to pull out the kernel from JT's CM7 and then flash it?
I can't seem to find it in the CM7 rom package, and not even sure if it is possible. Somebody mentioned that it should be titled kernel_update, as that is usually the case, but I can't seem to find that.
I am on the OTB, and I would like to try out the original kernel.
One more thing, in case the kernel cannot be extracted, if I wipe cache and dalvik and then reinstall the rom with no data wipe will I be good? I've never installed a rom without data wipe and I just want to be sure that installing a rom twice on top of itself won't make it have some problems or bog down. If it will, I guess I can just bite the bullet and wipe everything and reinstall to get the kernel.
I reflashed the rom after a cache and dalvik wipe and everything is working great.

I'll give it a shot.
Couple people posted that they thought the included kernel had less hangs than OTB. Anybody have a similar experience?
They are both great kernels but I had to reflash the rom because my phone got stuck in headset mode after the latest voodoo control plus update. I think JT's currently has a few more gpio fixes.
I think your best bet would be to reflash the rom without wiping anything. You would get the original kernel while keeping your settings and data. If you were so technically inclined I believe the kernel is in the boot.img file in the zip but it is above me to try to make that its own flashable file.
Please forgive the noobish question..this is my 1st android product and I am still learning...
I am currently using Task650's rom version 5 along with the current pershoot kernal....If I want to move to Version 6
1. do i only wipe the delvrik cache,then flash version 6?
2. do I need to reflash the kernal after flashing version 6
3. what is the easiest way to backup all my apps if i have to wipe everything and then put them back?
i am using a rooted 10.6 wifi only...just really trying to get the hang of if there is an order to flashing roms and kernals like if i install a new rom or even update if i have to reflash kernal and reset setcpu?..thanks in advance.
download titanium back up ( free one from market), back up the apps you want
get into CWM, wipe/factory reset, clear cache. clear dalvik, flash, and done.
if you are on pershoot kernel, then you have to reflash the pershoot kernel after you flash V6 because V6 flashes a new kernel.
I usually flash rom first before i flash kernel, since ROM overwrite kernels.
you can just wipe dalvich and cache and you'll be good bro
Awesome, ty Task
I always think that flashing a new ROM will put the new ROM image in /system and wipe everything there.
but seems that flashing a new ROM, and format /system then flashing a new ROM has different result.
Flashing a new rom (unofficially - e.g Custom Roms via ClockworkMod), will NOT wipe data automatically. BUT it is highly recommended to wipe data before flashing a new rom. Some roms won't require that like coming from a CyanogenMod nightly to another. On the other hand, some roms will not work whatsoever unless the data is wiped before flashing.
I always backup currant rom, and wipe all data. Fix it right the first time! lol
I just do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the rom straight. Would you be kind enough to tell me what difference is there between flashing rom straight and format system before flashing rom?
Hello, im having trouble getting any custom ics rom to boot after flashing any custom ics kernal, I can flash a custom kernal and load up stock ics rom but then as soon as I flash a custom rom I get stuck on the boot animation screen and the rom doesnt boot up. Does anyone have any suggestions why its doing this? its rather annoying being stuck on cm7 when ics is the way forward. Ive tried every custom ics rom and kernal and the only one that works is stock, my bootloader is unlocked, ive ran out of ideas.
if u wana flash a custom rom first flash kernel and then flash custom rom by cwm. and make a full data wipe-factory reset
and also Wipe cache and Dalvik cache before flashing the rom

Hey,man.
Since you've unlocked your bootloader,I think you are able to flash any custom roms successfully.
So,did you fully wipe after flash the kernel?
take FXP rom for example:flash boot.img inside the zip -> go to CWM and fully wipe , install the rom -> reboot and enjoy.
Before flashing a rom, you are supposed to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. If you are flashing roms like ExMIUI or MiniCmSandwich you will also have to wipe system.

Im not new to installing custom roms, I know the procedure in installing a custom rom, the problem is no custom ics rom boots up using any custom kernal.

I do not know if this will work or not, but you can try flashing stock FTF file for your device and then go through the procedure of flashing kernel and rom again.
do wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then go to mounts and storage and do format system
believe me I have tried everything and nothing works, cm7 works fine with a custom kernal so I dont know what the problem could be.

Did you follow the instruction:
1. flash kernel
2. go to cwm and do wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then go to mounts and storage and do format system + delete from sd card all folders and files with dots
3. flash rom (if rom has the aroma installer follow the aroma instructions)
4. reboot phone (first boot is up to 10 minutes
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!!!
