I couldn´t find an specific answer for my question... just want to know if i flash a new ROM with CWM ( using wipe data/factory reset; wipe dalvik cache and finally mounts and storage and then select format system ) I loose ALL voltage settings I changed with Voltage Control.
Thanks,
Answer is probably as you have flashed a new kernel .

Probably ? I´m sorry, how can I fully reset voltage then if wiping all data doesn´t work?

This isn't what you said above.
You need to be more clear. What is your question, exactly?
Are you asking HOW to fully reset voltages? (what looks like your first post, unless I'm misunderstanding) Or are you asking IF your voltages get reset if you flash a new ROM and do a full wipe? (which looks like your second post, unless I'm misunderstanding)

As JJEgan said above, probably, yes. If you do a full wipe.

Hey all so after I update my firmware to XWKK5 do I have to wipe everything while in recovery mode is it really necessary?
What do you want to achieve with deleting all from recovery?
If you've upgraded, then the phone is in the version upgraded. If you delete all from recovery, you have to reinstall the entire ROM or the phone wont boot...
Thought I had to Wipe Data / factory reset and Wipe Cache Partition?

Instructions are to be followed .
Custom roms usually ask for wipe but not stock roms .

You don't need to do that if you are upgrading from a Stock ROM. If you chose the wipe version of ROM for flashing then it'll automatically wipe you device. If you use non-wipe it'll upgrade and everything remains same.
Wipe is only recommended when you are switchin from Custom to Stock or vice-versa else after a version downgrade say KK5 to KJ3.
Hope it helped.
Hello,
i'm new in this business and have a simple question for you...
When i want to update my custom rom, what is the right way to do that?
Flash over the old rom (example 8.0 -> 8.1) or what is right??
Thank you for your help!!

Follow the instructions for that rom is all you do dont make up your own instructions .
Usually wipe of cache and dalvik is recommend by rom instructions .
jje
ok, also i must every update make a wipe cache partition, advanced / wipe dalvik cache, wipe data / factory reset and set my homescreen apps every time new?

No just follow the makers instructions for that rom .
If they say factory reset thats what you do otherwise no.
jje
but the maker have not an UPDATE instruction... only an install instruction with a fullwipe...
i use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457061
Thats a non Samsung based custom rom i suggest you search for MIU post/forum .
Found via the stickies .
http://miuiandroid.com/community/

In that case, if you do an update, do a wipe cache/Dalvik before & after update (this is what I do when I update Galnet Miui, unless it's a new stable release. I do a clean install for these). Obviously if you have problems/FC's, then perhaps do a full wipe. It really does depend on the rom as JJE has said. The maker may not have a specific update instruction, but did it ever occur to you to ask the creator of the rom either in the thread, by PM, or by carrier pigeon note ?
Initiative, tho a beautiful thing, seems to have become less and less common on here of late. Everyone's looking for 'the easy route'.

Hello, if i do a reset inside the OS, will this wipe and delete the cache same way as a hard reset with the physical buttons?
Yes. But both do not only delete the cache but everything on your phone's internal storage.
It's noteworthy that CWM (the alternative Recovery) keeps the /sdcard folder intact

So if i understand this right, both ways, like, the usual inside the android OS itself, on the S3, or the reset trough physical buttons, both delete the cache aswell?
can someone please explain a full wipe - when asked in a rom thread that you need to do a full wipe. what is that?
do you do it in CWM only, no where else?
- wipe data/factory reset then
- wipe cache partition then
- wipe dalvick cache
that's it? that's considered a full wipe? because I was reading and something said if coming over to xxxx rom from aokp do a full wipe.
tbh I've already changed roms but I hard bricked my last phone not knowing things like this. lol
thanks

Yes that is a full wipe, but "wipe data/factory reset" is enough, no need for the other two.
Also if you just flash a wrong rom, I doubt your last phone is hard bricked. You can donate it to me.
thanks for the answer.
with my galaxy note I installed a stock ss firmware via odin, installed CWM and then flashed aosp without wiping or anything. phone couldn't get into recovery, download or turn on. jigs didn't work and a shop also couldn't get it back into download or recovery.
so no signs of life, I've already sent it overseas for warranty, sorry mate
I ended up getting an s3 till note2 comes out. but I heard the note2 will only have 512mbs of more ram than the s3, and it won't be quadcore. if these are true I'll probably torch all my samsung devices and get apple products -_-
When wiping everything before installing new rom/update, is it necessary to wipe data/factory for full performance or may i not wipe and keep all apps? Is that possible?
I hope you can understand and sorry for my bad argentinian english!
No its not possible and you should wipe data/factory reset cause if you dont you will get into bootloop

Not necessarily.
@OP: it's always the best to wipe phone before installing new rom, however.. if it's update of same rom, then it's mostly not needed to do full wipe..
if you install rom same type (like 2 stock based roms or 2 CM based roms) sometime you can go without wiping.
I use stock rom (original) I9300XXEMC2
Kernel 3.0.31-1042335 [email protected] #1

My phone started to be slow and laggy. When I get a call it takes about three seconds to recognize the caller. I get alot of apps crash, I mean apps suddenly closes(I started to play a short video and then 3G Watchdog and PlayerPro got close).
What could be the reason for the laggs and slowleness of the phone?
Your rom has the sds fix so it might be the fix kicking in to save your phone. First try clearing cache and dalvic in recovery and fixing permissions, if still laggy then factory reset.
what does clear dalvik and catch do? do I need to backup the phone before I do this things? (I'm not talking about the reset only clear)

It clears the cache and clears the dalvik for details use Google but Dalvik is basically VM .
Backup is not relevant to either both are rebuilt on next boot .

ADVANCED.
jje
I don't have advanced...This is the options I have:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
apply update from cache
You need CWM recovery .
Use Philz from development .

I use rom stock and original kernel I also don't have root.
Is it possible to do it without root and without changing recovery?

If you're not de-odexed (which you won't be since you're not running a custom ROM) there's not a lot "Wiping Dalvik-Cache" will do. Dalvik-Cache is used when you have dispensed with odex.
Essentially, every app you have has an .odex file.
so:
/system/app/MMS.apk
/system/app/MMS.odex
Most custom ROMs are "de-odexed" which means they get rid of all the .odex files and replace them with dalvik-cache files.
Basically what I am saying is you don 't have any to clear.
I wrote that I use stock rom so I don't want to root my phone.
don't suggest things that can't be done or I don't want to
Anyway thatks
I didn't. I told you it's irrelevant.
All you can do is factory reset or flash official roms. Or dummy file generator.

Guide to recovery mode on youtube:
Search for:
"How to Wipe Galaxy S3 Cache Partition"
Didn't lose anything.
Still have the problem. Now it also sometimes restart itself.
Any other solutions except root & wipe?
Factory reset .
Still a problem then a service centre is required .
