I'm getting hard locks when using the latest AOKP. I'm going to try to use the 4-28-12 to see if the same issue occurs but what would cause a hard lock? It occurs frequently and seemingly randomly. I have to hold the power button down to reboot.
I've tried using different kernels as well (Neak and Siyah) but doesn't make a difference. I haven't made any special adjustments to the system voltage or other settings.
When doing installs I used Factory Wipe and cleared cashes and even used a kernel cleaning script. I don't get a hard lock or any total ROM freezes when using SHOstock2, just the latest AOKP. I'd much rather use AOKP over SHOstock2 because of the customization.
Any ideas? Anything I can try to do to test for causes? Any special apps I can run to get error logs? Thanks for your assistance.
Have you tried format /system?

If you mean factory data wipe in cwm yes. If not then no and I'm not familiar with a system format option.

Reboot to CWM Recovery>Mounts and Storage
It will wipe everything, so you'll probably want to copy everything on your SD onto your computer first.

Okay. I'm trying 4-28-12 again now. So far so good. Usually the hard lock doesn't take too long to occur. But once i'm able to backup the SD I'll try a system format.

No it won't wipe everything. Just your /System directory

Hello all.
Recently started flashing custom Roms and I'm wondering how I completely wipe my phone so I don't get any files left from previous roms.
At the mo I'm wiping user data, cash and delvek cash and also formatting system via clockwork.
Cheers
Phil

That's all you should have to do. A factory reset consisting of wiping data, cache, dalvik (usually cleared on ROM installation anyway) and formatting system is a full wipe, as far as I'm aware. Done it many times and never have any problems.

I know what you mean... after years of flashing I always have tons of redundant crap left over.
Use this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326&highlight=superwipe
The Megawipe option is pretty full on though.. read it all carefully, make sure you have a backup (particularly of your EFS folder), and also make sure you have an Odin flashable ROM ready!
So it seems buy reading them that I'm doing a full wipe anyway.
I don't seem to be able in install roms from my external sd card so would it be a case of flashing with Odin?

Really? I can. What recovery are you using? What format is your SD card?
I'm using clockwork, and I think it's formatted in fat32

Hi
I have a huge problem.
Sms/mms app won't run. It crashes after boot and any time I try to start it.
I have made several clean installations of stock ROM with no result. Including wiping everything of course.
But I can't figure out how to format the internal SD. There's files left there no matter what I do.
How do I make a true format so I can start over from scratch?

Probably files whose path gets rebuilt after a wipe, like DCIM.
In twrp recovery you have in wipe menu options to wipe internal sdcard, or format data completely, including /data/media (= sdcard).

I did several hard resets, but those do not fix anything really.
It would be helpful if you list what files they are

Recovery/mounts and storage/format sd
Twrp is a recovery, there is a thread in Android original development section.

BTW: that must be some special. You can't format the internal card when using the phone. To many files in it that system uses.
So when I am preparing to rom my phone, I obviously have to wipe. Where can i store things on the phone so as not to get wiped and what do I need to wipe before roming and flashing boot?
When you're flashing a new ROM, it is recommended that you do the following things:
Factory Reset/Wipe Data
format /system
Wipe Dalvik Cache
If you would like to make sure you don't lose anything as a result of these wipes, you really should just back it up to your computer to be 100% sure it will be safe, but the phone's Internal Memory should stay intact between wipes. This is basically the phone's internal SD card (sort of).

So when I download a Rom I want to be flashed such as teamvenoms in this case, what directory should it be in? I think my issue has been I was drag and dropping them onto my media device (phone) in windows. But this foesnt explain losing my os when flashing a recovery.

I don't know anything about losing your OS when flashing a recovery, but that sounds like quite an issue that you should probably resolve before going forward with flashing any roms (a bad recovery could be a huge headache for you in the future).
In order to install the rom you just need to store it on your phone's internal memory, which is the media device that shows up when you plug it into windows. Then you can boot into recovery, select the option to install a custom zip (or something like that, not looking at it right now) and find the zip file that you put on your phone.
Came a little closer to the issue. With cwm i can see all my downloaded files including the Rom I'm looking for but in twrp literally all my directories are empty (or it shows them as such) and it says I have no os then flashing back to cwm it's all still there. ???

Formating system is an unnecessary step, almost all ROMs wipe system during the flash so its redundant to do so
Plus if the ROM has asserts to prevent flashing a incompatible ROM it would continue to flash anyway. And could result in a brick on certain devices

Does a factory reset wipe internal sd card? I remember seeing a wipe option.
Sorry for the newb question

Format data is the only way to do it with TWRP 2.5+
Note: This does NOT wipe your external sdcard fyi

so, you can format internal without compromising the system? somehow there seems to be some partition part of another former custom rom I've installed. I have only half the allotted storage on my internal and i need it to be wiped. and i have an issue with restoring to stock. phone doesn't seem to communicate with computer in odin even with reinstalling drivers.

Yes, is on the wipe menu, is the button on the right side and you have to type yes to make it even run.
Check and make sure the driver for your phone isn't the Casual driver, it will have the creator of Casuals name for the driver name if it is the Casual driver.

Ok i am new to the rooting and custom Rom game and I have a question. In stock form if I did a factory reset, everything on my phone was wiped, music pics everything. But when using the clockwork recovery it doesn't wipe out my pics and music. Why not?

Bcoz if your pics and music are in ur External Sd card clockwork mod recovry doesnt wipe ur files of SD card....so it happens that ur pics& music r nt wiped

ok that makes sense, the whole folder structure is taking me a little while to grasp, since there is no sd card on the gnex and it all being internal. just wasn't sure how it was picking what information to wipe. now that being said if i should want to wipe everything. could i go into the normal settings and do a factory reset wince i am running a custom rom?
Yes u can do the normal factory reset

Sometimes I know when installing roms it can make a legacy folder which I believe is like a clone of the original installation and sometimes the factory reset won't wipe that folder because it is "hidden". I am not sure why it does this. But I do recall someone mentioning this in the past (or something similar). I could be wrong though.
This legacy folder sounds reasonable. I do have one of those. I which has confused the crap out of me when looking for things. Maybe this is why all of my contact photos are out of sync. Now let's suppose I do a factory reset from the settings on the phone. What bad is going to happen?

if u want to wipe everything in your internal storage including data such pic, music, downloaded apps etc...you can do one thing
-by using twrp custom recovery...go to advance wipe, tick all except the last two box
-in cwm go to advance/format data...be sure not to touch the ext. card
