I had same problem, but what i did is that,
I used "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" it is free working on windows. I used it to
1- remove all the partition from my sdcard, then
2- do a partition using 4EXT as a (primary) with 1250MB. and move it the back of the sdcard. (you will know that when you use the MiniTool program).
3- do a partition using Fat32 as a (primary) with the rest of space, you may note extra blank area usually 8MB, that fine just forget about it .
4- upload all the roms you like to the Fat32 part of your sdcard.
5- Wipe:
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache
3) wipe cache + dalvik
4) wipe dalvik cache
5) format all partitions (data, system ...etc) (except sdcard).
then install your ROM.
It works with me from the first time and I didn't get any error.
It you get any error after that. take the battery out for few minuses and repeat the wipe step, 2 times for every thing before you install the ROM.
Good Luck and Greeting from Saudi Arabia ..

Can someone give me FULL instructions for flashing this coming from Miui AOSP, without Odin? From flashing the Rom to installing the google apps (dont know how to)... I havent flashed a WHILE. Thanks guys
im assuming you have rom manager installed for this and the rom you want installed (trigger redux) is at the root of your micro sd .... once you have those done follow the steps
1. in rom manager hit flash clockworkmod recovery then pick vibrantmtd then pick 3.x.x because we are on gingerbread
2. hit install rom from sd card and find the rom's zip folder and select it afterwords something else will pop up with 3 0ptions, put a check on all 3 (backup rom, wipe data and cache and dalvik cache) then hit install
BY SELECTING WIPE DATA AND CACHE YOUR APPS AND STUFF WILL BE GONE WHEN THE NEW ROM BOOTS UP SO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS BACKED UP
IF WIPE DATA AND CACHE IS NOT SELECTED THERE IS ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO use ODIN!!
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-backup-reinstall/tw.nicky.AppBackupReinstall
this link has an app that backs up all your apps to your sd card or you can use titanium back up to back up everything
I went from Muiu to redux and what I did is this: (might be overkill but its what I did and everything worked great)
1. Reboot into recovery
2. clear data/factor reset
3. mounts and storage > format system, format data, format cache
4. install zip from sd card > trigger redux
5. install zip from sd card > gapps
6. advanced > wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions
7. reboot
8. let rom boot up and sit for 10 mins and reboot
9. enjoy
That is the correct way ...Guy above ...

Whats the best way to do a FULL wipe of the device? including ALL user data/files/rom leftovers/battery stats/binary counter/everything!?
I am talking about as clean a slate as possible.
*2767*3855#
Extra wipe probably overkill .
Connect phone in mass storage mode and format the phone drive .
Boot to recovery wipe cache Advanced wipe dalvik cache .
Mounts and Storage format system data and sd card .
Use Odin to flash stock firmware as phone is empty .

if u wipe with this way u just loss contact and apps that u installed them on your phone but other things like musics,movies and photos .
thanks button
wipe data factory reset and go to mount and storage and format system
To me complete wipe means complete not part wiped .
System Data Cache and internal SD card .
Though no need for wiping SD Card unless data corruption on it .

Wiping by means of formatting won't destroy all of the data, formatting an ext4 partition simply overwrites the file tables. With the right tools it is still possible to retrieve lots of your personal information from a re-formatted partition, including stored passwords, pictures, etc.

All the named procedures does not, don't they?
So either old bootloader and jig or easier use triangle away.
Erasing user data there is an additional option: settings-device-storage-erase USB-storage.
Full wipe. How??

I also do this when the instruction says "full wipe". Aside from this I also format the internal SD(to delete extra folders created from the previous ROM) since all my installers are inside the external SD.
Aside from the above instruction, I also read some posts that you have to mount to a specific folder(not internal/external sd) and clear/format that location. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.
I do this:
Wipes:
- Factory Reset
- Cache Partition
- Dalvik (Advanced)
Format:
- System
- Data
- Cache
- Internal Storage (No SD)

Could you care to elaborate on how to do the ones in bold?
What I normally do is that I mount points like /system, /data, /cache, /emmc and format all of them. I'll do all of this using ClockworkMod Recovery.

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
When you want to do a clean install of Windows OS, you all know that the right way to go is to format the primary partition first..
I was wondering: why can't we do the "same" in Android?
I've noticed that in CWM recovery there are many format options in addition to just doing Wipes...
So what if instead of doing the old Wipe data/cache and factory reset before flashing new rom, especially when migrating from Sammy to AOSP, we use the FORMAT function of the CWM recovery console?
So this bring up my new line of questions:
Which Formats are safe (as in terms of not bricking only, since we all know that we must backup first)?
Is Format data safe and recommended before flashing?
Is Format system safe and recommended before flashing?
Is Format SD card safe and recommended before flashing?
Does Format system erases the entire OS, meaning the ROM with it's kernel? If kernel is wiped does it mean that CWM will be lost upon next boot?
Same goes for Format SDCARD. Will this erase the entire internal memory? So the new ROM.ZIP should be placed in the external SD first?
I'd really appreciate if someone could answer all of the above questions
Many thanks

If you don't have bad chip then all are safe. If you have bad chip then make sure you have safe kernel.
General steps before flashing a new ROM.
1. Backup your present ROM just incase
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
4. Format /system (under mount)
5. Flash your desired Rom/zips
6. Fix permissions (under advanced)
Notes:
- If you are moving from from an AOSP ROM to Samsung (vice versa), perform all the steps above.
- If you are upgrading / downgrading from one android version to another e.g ICS to jellybean or 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, also perform all the steps above.
- If you are upgrading from a Samsung ROM to another wipe the same android version, you may skip step 1.
- if you are upgrading your Aosp/aokp Rom with another with the same android version e.g 4.0.4 Aosp to 4.0.4 aokp, you may also skip step 1.
*******Important******
If you are presently running a Samsung based 4.0.4 Rom that is using Samsung based kernel e.g CF-ROOT or stock kernel, please flash Siyah kernel before performing any of the above steps. You will end up with ash unusable device if you don't adhere to this important information.

Just 2 more questions:
1. what about format Format SDcard (internal)? Is it also safe/recommended? What does it do exactly?
2. can any of the the above formats delete the IMIE? Where i it stored? On internal SDcard? Will formatting it delete it?
Thanks

Formatting the Internal Sd card wipes all your data (music, photos, videos) on the internal memory of the phone.
Doing all those wipes doesnt affect the IMEI as far as I know...

1. You're first question has been answered in the post before mine.
2. About IMEI:
-Your IMEI is stored in your root folder /efs inn your system reserved partition.
-Flashing Roms and kernel shouldn't mess with this folder but sometimes it happens.
-most of the Roms Agnes kernels made by recognized developers will backup your efs folder before flashing.
-too be on a safer side though, you can visit the thread below to backup your efs (imei) folder yourself before messing with your phone.

My problem is that I keep thinking in MS Windows terms.. I was sure that "Format SDCARD" is the parallel to formatting the entire "Hard drive", just like to delete the system partition..
Know let me see if I got everything right:
Format system is like deleting the Windows folder - no more OS (ROM)
Format data is like deleting all user account = deleting the "Programs data" folder in Windows - no more app data
Formatting SDCARD is like deleting the "Users" folder including "my documents" - no more user private data
So by using the 3 above formats, there is no need to do a Factory reset. But what about Wipe cache and Dalvik? shouldn't System format take care of those two caches? Or perhaps Cache and Dalvik are to separate partitions?
And for the few last question, so I can finally declare myself an Android expert :
(1) Format boot is a very bad idea right? It will delete the bootloader, meaning one must flash a rom that includes one of it's own?
(2) Are all roms intended for CWM flashing come with their own boot partition?
(3) So if Format boot is risky, I can conclude that the CWM recovery must be part of the boot partition right?
Many thanks for all the help. Once I get all of this right, I will feel confidant to start flashing roms on my own for the first time (I already got my phone rooted and CWMed by flashing Siyah kernel using Odin

1) As far as I know, the boot partition is reserved for kernel. So, if you format it, phone won't be able to boot further than the initial Sgs2 logo. But it will still be flashable in Download mode.
2) If kernel is a part of boot partition, and most roms come with their own kernels, the you could say that the come with their own boot data.
3) If you format boot, you will also loose Cwm as it is a part of the kernel. Download mode would be still accessible as it is a part of the (secondary) bootloader which can be only overriden with Odin.
But again, I'm not 100% sure about this.

I want to erase all my previous data in internal storage. More specifically, erase the OS and data (app data, user data, media, etc), then I'm gonna flash new ROM.
But of course, I don't want to erase boot system and recovery system.

2. Does format /sdcard include format /system, /data, /cache, and wipe dalvik cache?
3. Is format /sdcard safe to do?

To install a new rom, you don't have to wipe the internal sdcard, just wipe data & cache and navigate to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and then to mount and format system, then flash your rom, or use TWRP it's easier, press wipe then advanced wipe and mark (data, cache, dalvik cache, system) and swipe to wipe, then flash your rom.
Ps: all app data is removed from internal storage (data in sdcard\android) when you wipe data, so you don't have to wipe internal storage
Hello,
i really tried to find answers around before asking.
I have tryed different roms on my i9100, cm7, cm9, rr, miui. Now i have a tonn of folders from apps that are not even installed on my phone. Now what i want is to get rid of all the trash in my phone, like leftovers from apps i installed with previous roms and make a clean install of cyanogenmod 9.1.
How do i do that?
I would really appreciate any help. Tutorials, links, everything you guys can give to help me out.
Thank you
full wipe, install cm9, erase internal sd card
