Sometimes, just when you think you have something down it doesn't seem to go right. I have been installing ROMS for a while now and I am starting to wondering if I am truly accomplishing a "data wipe". I have manually wiped all data in the "recovery" mode and I also have used CWM to wipe all data for me also. Even when I have wiped all data I have odd things happen on my HTC Thunderbolt. Here are some of the issues I have...
1. I have certain settings that were previously installed used other ROMS such as my wallpaper background screen and wifi connections. I would think that if you did a total data wipe you have to go into your settings and reconnect and put your backgrounds to the way you like them.
2. My texting does not work correctly. Usually when you text someone you will get their reply under your original text. Now, they come in weird random orders and it is frustrating to keep the conversation straight.
3. Certain ringtones stay the same as previous ROMS I have installed. Youl would think with a full data wipe you would have to go in and put the proper ringtones with the proper setting.
All of these small items make me wonder. Any help woud be greatly appreciated! Maybe I am doing something wrong, but this might be normal.

You need to download 4ext recovery from the market and do t use rom manager or an app to do any recovery type stuff. When you get 4ext use the wipe all except SD card every time you flash a rom. On a side noe this is in the wrong section. It needs to be in q & a.

just a reminder this should be in the questions thread instead
Some things are stored by Google or HTC or on your SD card so they will always be with you. And when you wipe you can see the directory you are wiping too. You aren't wiping from the root directory.
Cheers!

I still use CWM as well.
I always wipe data 3x, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik.
Haven't run into any issues yet.

Whenever I move to a new ROM, I do a superwipe to make sure everything is nuked other than my SD Card. As others have noted, some of your issuea may be due to the content stored on your SD Card, but for anything on the device itself I believe superwipe is the best option!

I just wanted to say thank you once again to all the people who answered my question. I tried the 4 ext recovery and it is a very nice program. I ran the "wipe all data except SD card" option multiple times before installing new ROMS. I still have the same results such as wifi passwords being remembered, backgrounds, and ringtones. So, I just wanted to make sure I was not doing something simple or needing to take one extra step. In essence, I want the ROM to run efficiently.
It's the Google backup.

After you flash the new rom are you selecting restore from Google backup? If you do all the system settings, ringtones included will be restored too. This is why I never use it.

Is it any of my apps?
What should i do! I miss my old speedy phone!
P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, i wasnt sure where to put it but i knew most people look at threads here.
Atk is redundent if you supercharge/bulletproof your rom. Try a reflash. Full wipe and dalvik .

Edit: what governor are you using?
Tell me how to find out what governor i'm using and i'll tell ya, haha
If you're using SetCPU or CPUBoost there should be an option to change the governor, and it should display which governor is currently being used.
I don't use those applications because i have tried on different occasions and it never fails that they crash my phone, so i'm unsure.
Quick question, is it okay to have multiple ROM zips on my sd card or should i keep only one at a time. ( I only have one right now but i plan on trying new ones out and didnt know if i should delete old ones?
I initially had this same issue on GB ROMs. A couple of things. First, I totally agree ATK is not needed. I would also add that personally I'd dump SetCPU. I had it on my phone initially and found it actually caused me a significant amount of lag. Of course the minimum CPU speed, maximum CPU speed, and governor can all be set in "Cyanogen Mod Settings" on CM7 ROMs.
What do you mean by "laggy"? Perhaps you should describe it more competely. Are you seeing, for example, lag when you press home after running an app, and you have to wait for whichever home you are using (presumably LauncherPro) to redraw the home screen? If so, is that the only lag that you are seeing?
If your lag is only in the launcher redrawing when you go home, there are two solutions to that. Either settings->CyanogenMod settings->Performance and turn on "lock home in memory" or try running this script and run option 11, for the bulletproof launcher.
Incidentally, your SD card has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of space available for apps to run (unless, of course, you have moved many apps to SD). If you go into (it's something like this - I am running xtrSENSE right now, but it is similar enough) settings->SD card & phone storage, how much available space do you have under "Internal phone storage"? I do not think that this is your issue, based on the number of apps that you report installed, but so long as you are above 25 to 30 MB or so you should be all set.
Try not using JuiceDefender. What that app does is shut down all of your radios for a period of time, turning them on briefly on a periodic schedule (for example, it turns them on for a couple of minutes every 15 minutes.) However, if you power up the phone with the radios off, it will restart them at power up, causing the phone to feel slow as they power up and, of course, network activity to start right after the radios are turned back on. It will surely help with battery consumption, but if you want no lag, that would be the first of the apps that you list that I would remove.

Having the zip files on your SD card shouldn't cause any problems, since they aren't actually running anything or doing anything besides taking up space.
If you start getting short on SD card space (unlikely with 16 gb of it ) then deleting them probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

It does not matter in the slightest. The speed of your phone has nothing at all to do with the zip files that you have stored on your SD card, or the Nandroid backups that you have - unless, of course, you are out of space, and that would only affect a small handful of apps that may store data on SD.
Finally some answers, thanks everyone.
I'm trying to flash a new rom but it says E:signature verification failed Installation aborted, not sure whats wrong. Maybe ill just stick with GSB for now? haha

Sounds like an incomplete download. Check the MD5 hash of the file to make sure that it matches what the dev says it should, or at the very least verify that the file size matches what it's supposed to.
Also, make sure that you have a fairly well-charged battery.

I have a rooted thunderbolt -- thank you revolutionary -- but I have not taken the next step yet, because there's a few things I want to clarify. I'm plan to do a clean wipe, so filter my questions through that lens, if you will.
I'm on stock froyo build 1.70.605. See, I rooted before gingerbread, and now I'm stuck here in the past. The OTA got me a few times, so I've become a lot better with clockwork recovery and nandroid backups. Oddly enough, the OTA is no longer being pushed on me.
1) Preserve contacts
You can do this through google, evidently. But is this something you have to do proactively? Or does it happen automatically behind the scenes? What do I do to get 'em back after the new rom is in place?
2) Preserve SMS messages
Now, I've downloaded handcent because of the froyo error where SMS messages go to unintended targets. Accidentally told my boss I was going to get raped in a van...was a joke for another buddy of mine.
I wanna keep my text messages. What do I do for that?
3) Apps and Data
I know this is what TiBu's for. My questions here are where does TiBu back up my data to? Does TiBu magically reappear after I install the ROM and then merrily offer to restore everything I had backed up?
Oh, and I've read conflicting things about using TiBu on system apps. I'm inclinded to take the side of "no, not ever."
4) Getting the right Radio
Ok, I know there is no clear answer to this. I'd just assume the latest gingerbread radio, unless the ROM specifies something different (most dont). My question here is that in some places people talk about CDMA and LTE radios differently, and other times they make it sound like theres just one comprehensive radio for both.
5) Flash!
Here's what I've gathered...use the clockwork recovery mod. Wipe the dalvik (davlik?) cache until it starts to chafe because you dont want to be flashin' dirty. This is where you'll do the ROM, radio, and if I'm going for bonus points, a kernel.
What's the order for this? ROM -> Radio -> Kernel? People also mention yanking the battery as a hard restart between these steps. Advisable?
6) Clocks - Over and Under and Through the Woods
Do you use the android market app set cpu for this? Or does it depend on what ROM and Kernel you're using?
I have heard that overclocking will help add to the wear and tear of your phone. I dont mind the temporary instability and figuring out what's the highest you can go. Just don't want to damage this thing. Oh, and what the duce is a governer? I get that it's supposed to be some kinda speed cap, but what imposes it? The ROM? The Kernel? Jesus?
More realistically, I want to underclock it when it's idle in order to conserve juice. I figure it's more useful than overclocking.
7) Battery Calibration
I read from what seemed like a well informed how-to guide that battery calibration is bunk. I could see that. Everybody has their own pseudo scientific way to repetitiously plug and unplug the battery until it achieves charge-nirvana. Is it more than superstition?
8) Launchers and Randomness
What's a launcher? Is it worth using? Why?
If I plug my SD card into another android device, will the data be recognized? Can I backup my SD card's contents to a windows PC?
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
Great questions, i can answer a few. Governer- i believe regulates the frequencies or cpu runs. Certain govs give better batt life, i use smartassv2 with screen off profile set thru setcpu, another of your questions, which i use to overclock. Launcher- the thingy with the functions at the bottom of the screen. Sense launcher is "rosie", aosp or "stock" launcher is more along the lines of golauncher, launcher pro, adw launcher. Those give you the stock look and are cystomizable. I prefer sense based roms, thats why i bought htc phones for my last 5. Currently running the latest "eternity #238 build". Very nice, great battery for sense 3.5 with beats audio. Ill let others take over now, hope this helps some.

1) Preserve contacts
Are your contacts saved to phone, or as Google contacts? If to phone, you must save them to Google. Once saved to the cloud, they return after each/every ROM Flash after Google sign-in.
2) Preserve SMS messages
SMS Backup+ backs them up and saves them to your Gmail account - free in the market. There are other means to accomplish this - I find this one to my liking. I do not restore them to the device.
3) Apps and Data
These are saved to a Titanium folder on your SD card.
Restored individually or in batch mode, by the user.
Some ROMs inclue the app, some don't.
Do not restore system apps or data between different ROMs.
4) Getting the right Radio
This is 100% ymmv, for either kind - MR2 LTE may be the best for you combined with the the MR4 version of the other one.
Why? They largely depend on geography - a radio combo that may work for me in the South may not work at all or nearly as well for Donny in KS, or you, wherever you are - these are trial-and-error.
5) Flash!
Yes, Clockwork. Wipe data/factory reset - this wipes the cache partition, simultaneous with the dalvik. Then go to advanced, and format system. Device is thoroughly wiped. (opinions vary on this)
Wipe batt stats as needed. ROMs and kernels are flashed in Clockwork - aka CWM. Radios are flashed in HBOOT.
DO NOT pull the battery when flashing a radio. (opinions vary on this)
When flashing a ROM, and/or making a backup, make sure you have say 40% battery life left before you flash.
If a new ROM flash bootloops, battery pull is ok.
6) Clocks - Over and Under and Through the Woods
SetCPU is available as a free d/l for XDA users - buy it in the market to support the dev.
The ROM may have a performance tweak area - in that case, I don't use SetCPU, but the one built in.
7) Battery Calibration
Ymmv - user experience - based on what/how you use your phone, what/how many apps you sync and the frequency.
If I plug my SD card into another android device, will the data be recognized?
Certain of the data will be recognized. Depends on device inserted into, and the ROM. Example - if I take my Thunderbolt's SD card & put it in my buddy's Moto DroidX, it will depend what it sees.
Can I backup my SD card's contents to a windows PC?
Sure can. Plug in, mount as usb, drag & drop.
1) Preserve contacts
Google should do this by itself, but if you are in a sense rom you can hit menu and import/export and back up and restore contacts. There are also apps for this
2) Preserve SMS messages
I know sense has a backup function(find it in the menus), but if you are going to a nonsense rom then use one of the 1000 apps in the market for this
3) Apps and Data
tibu backs up data, and some roms include it, and on the rest you can dl it from the market, the data will still be there
4) Getting the right Radio
If i remember right older radios were seperate and now they are combined, but I have never personally messed with mine, the stock one works perfectly for me.
5) Flash!
backup, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, wipe data, flash **** in any order, but just flash the rom first because they usually come with a good kernel, you can flash radio and kernel later if needed
6) Clocks - Over and Under and Through the Woods
I use setcpu from the market, but there are other free alternatives, adn some roms have built in functions for it
a governer is what controls how the clock speed changes, for example performance keeps it at the max 24/7 and smartass has it at the min when the screen it off
7) Battery Calibration
only wipe it if you batterylife is really ****ed up, but it is just a psudo effect
8) Launchers and Randomness
it replaces your, well, the whole visual part of android, it is pointless on a sense rom, and most aosp roms have one of the most popular ones pre installed
9)If I plug my SD card into another android device, will the data be recognized?
it should be
10)Can I backup my SD card's contents to a windows PC?
ofcourse, but I have never heard of anyone doing it

Hi guys,
I'm doing some research related to mobiles and need some help, as Google searches aren't bringing much up other than remote-wiping apps etc.
What I want to know basically - is it possible to securely wipe an Android phone, and if so, how? For example if you took an ex-work phone from a business, how would you go about securely wiping the data so that it couldn't be recovered.
I'm assuming that a factory reset doesn't securely wipe the data, and that it would be recoverable, is this assumption correct?
I came across one app that seems to overwrite all "deleted" data called SHREDroid but that seems to have lots of problems judging by the reviews.
Would really love some help on this if someone with more knowledge on the subject could enlighten me!
Thanks!

Sorry I don't want to sound rude but do you have any proof to back this up? From what I've just read, it's not a secure wipe. It's just similar to deleting all your files off a memory card or something, ie. easily recoverable with the right software.
On Blackberry and iOS you can do a secure wipe where the data is deleted and completely overwritten several times so that recovery is not possible. It seems this isn't the case with Android though.
Thanks

You cannot access /data without root
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
Ok then. Well as anyone can root a phone by following some simple instructions from the internet, I suppose the stock factory reset can't really be considered secure.
I'm quite surprised that Android is the only one out of the big three OS' to not have a secure wiping function.
Surely there must be a way to do it though. If anyone could help me out on this that would be great.
Just bumping this once and then I'll let it die.
With load balancing and remapping, are you REALLY sure that ALL data is gone? I think you need to say "safe" from reading by whom? The next casual user, or someone willing to desolder the memory and go to work on it.
I don't know what load balancing and remapping is..
Basically I mean to CESG standards.
Load balancing makes sure you don't "wear out" one area of the flash part from repeated writes. Frequently-rewritten sectors will move around, so old copies of these sectors will be left scattered across the part. Remapping allows for hard errors to be mapped out, replaced by spare sectors, and the mapped-out sectors won't be reused. If you look at those sectors, you might get some old data.
Almost all my data has been stored by default to my internal storage. Pictures, DL's, I figure I will sync to my laptop and back them up there, but there must be an easier way all you flash addicts are doing it. And TB is still preferred method to back up and restore all apps, msgs and call logs?
Is there a good startup noob guide? Things change so fast around here I never know if the guides are now obsolete.

Most would store their downloads and pics on the external sd card. Contacts should be made google contacts that way they sync automatically. And Titanium backup works well. You just have to know what to restore. Issues are usually attributed to user error by not knowing fully what they are doing.
Taking everyone's valuable suggestions one step further, send backups from external sd card to Google Drive or Dropbox.

So you change the default settings of where to store dl's and photos every time you flash a new rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
When I restore I log in to google and get TiBU.
I make sure it knows my backup folder location.
I restore the apps I backed up. Never select restore system apps.
Then I restore sms and calls. When I restored those apps they get their settins restore so I don't have to do anything.
So the only location I check/change is TiBU.
I used to CWM but now I use TWRP for flashing and creating backups. I also use TB pro and I have to say I haven't had any problems but I do only restore apps and their data and nothing else. I also have become a fan of My Backup. I am able to backup and restore how I have my icons saved on my screen. Makes it real easy and quick to get back up and running.

You can save the launcher and it's data with tibu also, no need for a second app...That's what i do

Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium
Just so you know, nothing on your internal or external SD is affected by flashing a ROM. Sounds like you think you might lose your pictures and downloads. They will be safe unless you format them.
OK, so I bought the pro version of TiBu, actually had a tough time getting it to sync with the free version and recognize the key on fresh rom install....
But my bigger problem after rom install hand TiBU restore...I am getting 3 errors and it caused the phone to hang so bad, had to do a factory reset and start from scratch with everything.
1. Calendar sync not working properly
2. Messages sync not working properly
3. Android.process.acore not working properly.
I would love to flash roms more often but dont out of fear of having to restore everything I liked back manually (I have to learn how to backup launcher too BC that is a big time factor in setup after a flash)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
The trick is the System Apps. If they're Green then you can usually backup and restore them without any issue. If they're Red then you shouldn't back them up and restores won't be useful.
For some of the Green items (e.g., messages, bookmarks, call log) there's a Yellow equivalent which indicates XML. For these, you should favor the XML since it'll restore across ROMs better.
For all apps, if you switch between ROMs that are extremely different (for example, if you jump straight from stock GB to CM9(ICS) then there can be problems. You can usually get around these by uninstalling the offending app, installing from Play Store and then restoring just the data.
I asked this question in the Nexus 6 forum but didnt receive much input so I'd like to see if this is a better spot.
Im trying to figure out the best way to backup and restore data whenever I move to a different Rom.
Im wondering if some people could list the various steps they take to backup and restore everything.
Is everyone doing this manually....copying folders from SD card to your comp and then dragging back to SD card once new ROM is installed?
I understand how to use Titanium for apps but Im unsure how the best way to go about backing up and restoring media, texts, call logs, settings, downloads, etc.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Anyone? Help with this would be awesome. Thanks!
Not gonna lie, Im shocked I can't get even a little help here. Surely this could help the newbs out there.
The main issue is that most of that is system data and never advised to be restored. Sms can be done with 3rd party app. The rest is best left alone.
