Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

Do a clean wipe on everything ie factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik/wipe everything than flash the ron. In your case cm7 than go to advanced in clockworkmod select reboot recovery than flash gapps then after all is done boot into recovery and flash Franco's kernel. I recommend wiping everything besides factory reset than reboot. Look at sweetnsours signature he uses 6.6.1 with the .35 family tree kernel. Anymore questions just PM me

Thanks now i am not confuse!!
I am preparing to flash mik's 6.6.1 (CM7.1-RC1) - GB 2.3.5 from Froyo.
Please clarify whether it is necessary/must to format the SD card in Clockworkmod Recovery according with the steps stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038338&page=6, i.e.:
Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
mount and storage-format system
go to mount and storage-format sd card
advanced-partition sd card-choose 512 mb (preferable)or 1024 mb (it automatically creates ext 4 partition, class 6/4 is preferred)
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot
Please note that I had already re-arrange my SD-card partition (1GB is assigned for EXT4, and the rest is FAT32) by MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. As far as I understand wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache have already deleted everything in the phone and SD-card (even whatever stores in FAT32 partition.
Many thanks!!!
Hi,
I'm trying to install Galaxy Task ROM. It says:
"1) Put Galaxy Task ROM on your Tablet
2) Backup all the apps you want to keep with Titanium Backup
3) Make a Nandroid Backup in CWM
4) Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache (In Advanced), & Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Choose install zip"
Having a Galaxy Tab you all know that there's no SD card slot. So how does one install from a ZIP after data has been wiped? Because surely the wipe before installing from ZIP takes the ZIP file off the tab? It's not a question just for Galaxy Task, I know it's a bit noobish, I must be doing something wrong.
Wiping data does not delete anything from the internal "sdcard" storage.
I hope you have CWM and don't plan to install this with stock, It sounds as if you are trying to install this with stock, or else you would have known that there are 2 options in CWM "Wipe data factory reset" and "Wipe data factory reset + internal" the internal speaks for itself

What do you mean by "Stock"?
The tablet comes with a stock recovery, a very blandish black and neon blue with only 2 options, install zip or factory reset. You'd know the difference
When you go to the wipe area of Amon Ra, they give you the option to wipe the system.
Will the new rom install the system files?
(My phone is getting errors and I'm wondering if this will fiv it)
Yes, your new Rom will install its own system files.

Hello to all,
My friend told me that he was going to do a "deep cleaning of the phone" before installing a new ROM.
I could not understand what is it, I used to do the following before installing a new ROM In recovery mode:
1. Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Format Cache
4. Format System
5. Format Data
6. Format Secondrom_Cache
7. Format Secondrom_Data
8. Format Secondrom_System
9. Format External Storage
10. Format Internal Storage
11. Wipe Dalvik Cache
12. Wipe Battery Stats
Is this a correct way to have a clear Phone before flashin a new ROM?
Thanks
Seems to be a little to many steps to me. My normal way is to just wipe data/factory reset
This is what I see on the Recovery, now I'm running RR ROM JB 3.0.3 but I think is to unstable yet and want to go back to ICS, so if I did all this cleaning all the error report that it gives me know should not be on the ICS, plus is it possible that an app can be corrupt and continue to give me error because I restore it using Titanium?
you just need to
1. Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache partition
and you are done
I am using RR ROM JB 3.0.3 and it runs stable i have only done factory reset.

As per my knowledge,
Full Wipe means, cleaning the old ROM information in the mobile.
If you want to know the process for Full wipe, you can check it here.

Just reboot into recovery (custom kernel not stock recovery) and use the Wipe data/factory reset option. You can also do extra wipes like described above if yo wish but in most cases just the wipe data/factory reset will suffice.
