No super wipe

You need to wipe data. Wiping the system doesn't get rid of the data partition.
Try using super wipe?
wipe
yes you need to do a full wipe and use a super wipe tool and then flash rom

Hey guys, quick question. I am currently running CM7 on my V but it is to unstable for me, too many FC's and reboots. I would like to flash That Ain't Sense ROM, found here:
http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/312747-rom-theme-wait-aint-sense-4-6-2011-a.html
Under the directions, it says:
how to flash:
put gapps and rom on sdcard
wipe the hell out of your phone
flash both and reboot
enjoy

When it says, wipe the hell out of the phone, what specifically do I have to wipe, and at what time during the process? Since I am moving to an entirely new ROM, what do I need to wipe?
P.S. I am running thunderc recovery.
Data, cache, system, dalvik cache and something else i can't remember. If am i not wrong, ROMManager doesn't work on the V, so you can't switch back and forth freely, unless there is another method.

You wanna wipe before flashing a new ROM. I wipe data/cache, then Dalvik cache then flash ROM, then gapps file

Is that all I have to wipe? I made a nandroid backup but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

This should be in Q&A
That's all I wipe. Wiping everything won't hurt though. Just don't do a factory reset through the settings with the phone booted up. Do it through the recovery.

Full wipe;
Format System
Factory reset

Then immediately reflash
Don't restore system apps and data with Titanium etc.

Hi there, I have a noob question here (cdma). I am at mean ROM 3.3 with hboot 1.50 s-on. I also have the latest 4ext recovery and flash image GUI. I am desperately trying to flash mean 3.7 but everytime I tried to flash all I get is an error opening package (bad). I tried to redownload for couple of times but the problem persists. I tried flashing the kernel (chad's anthrax) first and the kernel is successfully flashed, but the ROM still fail to flash.
Anyone can help?

I did the super wipe only. Should I also do a full wipe?

wiping battery stats is uneccessary. when you wipe data, you wipe battery stats.
batterystats.bin ..... directory is /data/system/batterystats.bin
again, uneccessary. clearing the data partition does this. every single time you flash a ROM and do a "full wipe" you are clearing this bin file and resetting it's statistical data about your battery usage.
it has no effect on battery life whatsoever.

I agree mate. But, do u have any idea why I can't flash the ROM? I have redownloaded many times just in case my downloaded file is corrupted, still the same though.

hey guys i wanted to know if i had to wipe everything when there is an update for a rom? or just wipe cache and dalvik?
thanks
It's a case-by-case thing. Sometimes you only need to wipe caches, but others you'll need to do a full wipe. Usually a ROM developer will note what you have to wipe when they post the update, so make sure to check.
You could always just do a nandroid and then try flashing after a cache wipe. If that doesn't work, you can either restore or do a full wipe and reflash the update.

I always factory reset. Wipe cache, then dalvik. Twice in that order. But you can get away with just wiping cache and dalvik. As most will tell you

Note that the MeanROM installation will wipe cache and dalvik cache for you, so no manual wiping is necessary actually.

When I upgraded Stock Rom with Goodies i didn't need to wipe the cache's, smooth upgrade.
i know you are supposed to wipe the phone and clear the cache but what is the preferred order here.
reboot to recovery, wipe data, clear dalvik?
i appreciate the info
It doesn't really matter what order you wipe in. I always wipe system, cache and dalvik.

Thanks for the info
Wipe Data/Factory reset is all i do ...never had a problem. I think the Dalvik gets rebuilt after a factory reset so no need to clear it
and if I'm just updating from XXX.rom v3 to v4 I just install right over the top and don't wipe at all
