Steps for wiping (data/cache)

Im about to flash bionix-v 1.3.1. And im trying to be as thorough as i can without odining back to stock. Just wanted to double check what im doing is right.
I already backed everything up and disabled voodoo (just for safety). Then, i wiped dalvik cache. Next, do i wipe data/factory reset? Then after that, wipe cache partition? Then after that, flash new rom?
Vibrant, Bionix-v 1.3, Voodoo...
It's in the noob guide..
summary:
factory wipe
wipe data
wipe dalvik (advanced)
flash rom
wipe data
wipe dalvik
reboot
wait 10 minutes, reboot
sign into market, wait 5-10, reboot
restore apps, boom.
Mine is similar to above.
Recovery
Factory wipe
Flash rom
Wipe dalvic
Wipe cache
Fix permissions
Reboot
Wait 10-15
Reboot
Enjoy
This process greatly reduced bugs when flashing rom to rom

MIUI rom fail?

After installing I've been stuck at the MIUI_US united World wide splash screen for the past 20minutes.
Sounds like a bootloop. Did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, fix permissions and (if you flashed another kernel) flash the kernel cleaning script first?
If not, do all that stuff. I flashed MIUI yesterday without issues.
if you can load into CWR goto Mounts Menu Format Data, Datadata, System, Cache, the goto advanced Wipe Dalvik. Now install Miui. and Fix permissions then reboot.
if not revert to stock via odin/heim and follow the steps above after flashing CWR.

Yiiikes

Omg omg omg.. pleeeease someone help me.. I tired flashing a rom (phone already rooted and using cwm 5) for the fifth time and it's now stuck in startup on android (in white letters). I wiped system cache dalvik but nothing... what else could I try?
Which ROM are you using?
Try flashing again, and remember to read the instructions very carefully.
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe the cache (although that should be done when you factory reset) and the dalvik cache.
If it still fails, restore your previous backup (you did make one right? It's, like, almost necessary to backup your current ROM with CWM before doing anything, even if it's just wiping the dalvik cache. It's ESPECIALLY necessary to do one before flashing a ROM).
If all else fails, flash a new firmware using ODIN.
Thanks for the quick reply but I managed to fix it already.. I am awesome *big smiles*
You are awesome. Great job.

Phone Will Not Boot Past Motorola Logo

I recently rooted my phone using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255548
I tried flashing MIUI and ICS after doing full wipes, but when rebooting the phone, it won't go mast the Motorola logo where it says "Unlocked." Is there a way to fix this?
wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik in recovery

I always do that before I flash a rom. I've done it at least 5-6 times now as I try to reflash the roms.
Sorry, early morning brain fart!
What do you consider a full wipe?
How long are you leaving your phone rebooting after flashing the ROM on the initial first reboot?
You could try flashing a kernel after flashing the ROM. You shouldn't have to, but I would try flashing the appropriate kernel from Faux.
Try wiping cache and dalvic cache. After do a factory reset. Then flash the ROM twice! As in back to back without doing anything else.
Personally I would flash another Rom, Some like Nottach or Cm7.2 and see if it boots, if so then recharge the battery and then try fresh again doing the wipes like others have said.
I had issues before where my recovery wouldnt boot but reflash did and was able to redo things and all is well.
For MIUI you need a separate kernel I tried flashing before and was stuck too, then flashed a kernel and it worked (jokers v3 kernels work well)
I have just tried installing CM7 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I made sure to do a wipe all data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then rebooted and waited for it go past the logo for 10-15 minutes (which it didn't).
This is the same process I go through for each rom, but it still doesn't work.

Full wipe flash ROM twice
Same issue as OP, proposed solution doesn't help
The flash twice method has never worked for me. But what will always work without fail is flashing 3.1, booting into it, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalv and flash the newest.
