Hello to all,
My friend told me that he was going to do a "deep cleaning of the phone" before installing a new ROM.
I could not understand what is it, I used to do the following before installing a new ROM In recovery mode:
1. Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Format Cache
4. Format System
5. Format Data
6. Format Secondrom_Cache
7. Format Secondrom_Data
8. Format Secondrom_System
9. Format External Storage
10. Format Internal Storage
11. Wipe Dalvik Cache
12. Wipe Battery Stats
Is this a correct way to have a clear Phone before flashin a new ROM?
Thanks
Seems to be a little to many steps to me. My normal way is to just wipe data/factory reset
This is what I see on the Recovery, now I'm running RR ROM JB 3.0.3 but I think is to unstable yet and want to go back to ICS, so if I did all this cleaning all the error report that it gives me know should not be on the ICS, plus is it possible that an app can be corrupt and continue to give me error because I restore it using Titanium?
you just need to
1. Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache partition
and you are done
I am using RR ROM JB 3.0.3 and it runs stable i have only done factory reset.

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 ...

Please don't kill me for asking this question but I've searched and searched without finding an answer:
Can I install a custom ROM (I copied viperROM to my SD card) using TWRP? Is that what the "Install Zip" option is for? Or do I need to get ROM Manager like all the tutorials on the web say to?
I used Titanium backup to backup up all my stuff, then I successfully got root+s-off using Revolutionary, TWRP recovery is running perfectly as well. I just made a Nandroid backup but I don't know the next step...
Yes, use recovery. Install zip. Do a nandroid backup first.
Yep, flash through recovery. Using the "Install Zip" feature that you saw.
Boot in to recovery:
1/ Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik cache (in "advanced")
2/ Install zip from sd-card...
Wait... reboot phone... wait... and wait... done!

These are the options I see:
1) Wipe Cache
2) Wipe Dalvik Cache
3) Wipe Everything (Data Factory Reset)
4) Wipe Battery Stats
5) Wipe Rotation Data
Do you advise I do 1, 2, and 3?

Thanks for your help guys, viperROM is installed and running.
I've been flashing various ROMs over the last few days and mostly doing full wipe installs since i dont have that much to backup/restore.
The way i have been doing it is to boot into CWM recovery and then do three things:
-Wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
I then flash the new rom straight after without reboot.
I noticed in the Hydrogenics thread that it says to format /system under the 'mounts and storage' section as well. Should i be doing this when flashing any rom? Should i be doing else as well (format the sd card etc.)?
I have yet to run in to any problems doing it the way i have been i'm just curious is all.
Thanks

No it's not needed. The only thing sometimes you need is fixing permissions under andvanced in cwm. I hope i helped you anyway.
I always format system just to be sure but yeah ur all good
Mod or Die
no what your doing is fine as the new rom has to build all its information on first boot.
I usually wipe from front to back.

If u want a complete wiped phone format internalstorage. And all wipe options in CWM xD
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
u can format system in the cwm advanced menu to make sure there are no left overs from your previous rom
formating system is recommended by ME i yet to get those pesky problems that few observed
also when you flqash MIUI it formats system for You just to let you know.
formating system = less or no problems
formating system + no titanium restore = absolutly no problems (one might not agree!)
actually i do the same.....a good question here....format the system in CWM what does it wipe.....does delete any files in the internal sd? anyway how to do system format

The clener your phone is the better. When I install a new rom I always make a deep clean.

It's absolutely recommended to install apps from the start.
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
I normally do the wipes in cwm and format usb storage.
do the following and nothing of the old files will be left.
reboot to recovery
wipe data
wipe cache
mount and storage
format cache
format system
format data
mount cache
mount system
mount data
flash the rom
wait for the installation
Flash a samsung stock rom, keyin the following code using phone keypad *2767*3855# . Is a master factory format code.

Do this step by step :
1. to format internal and external mmc, connect your phone in mass storage mode and format each drive with windows format tool (right click on drive icon -> format)
2. to format flash memory go to recovery wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalviq cache
3. Install rom
