Those are the steps you take before flashing a different rom. They are partitions that you wipe. If you don't wipe them you may end up with one or more corrupt partitions after flashing a rom resulting in a phone that won't boot to android. Look up my thread Don't Panic

Hey guys, quick question. I am currently running CM7 on my V but it is to unstable for me, too many FC's and reboots. I would like to flash That Ain't Sense ROM, found here:
http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/312747-rom-theme-wait-aint-sense-4-6-2011-a.html
Under the directions, it says:
how to flash:
put gapps and rom on sdcard
wipe the hell out of your phone
flash both and reboot
enjoy

When it says, wipe the hell out of the phone, what specifically do I have to wipe, and at what time during the process? Since I am moving to an entirely new ROM, what do I need to wipe?
P.S. I am running thunderc recovery.
Data, cache, system, dalvik cache and something else i can't remember. If am i not wrong, ROMManager doesn't work on the V, so you can't switch back and forth freely, unless there is another method.

You wanna wipe before flashing a new ROM. I wipe data/cache, then Dalvik cache then flash ROM, then gapps file

Is that all I have to wipe? I made a nandroid backup but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

This should be in Q&A
That's all I wipe. Wiping everything won't hurt though. Just don't do a factory reset through the settings with the phone booted up. Do it through the recovery.

Hi there, I have a noob question here (cdma). I am at mean ROM 3.3 with hboot 1.50 s-on. I also have the latest 4ext recovery and flash image GUI. I am desperately trying to flash mean 3.7 but everytime I tried to flash all I get is an error opening package (bad). I tried to redownload for couple of times but the problem persists. I tried flashing the kernel (chad's anthrax) first and the kernel is successfully flashed, but the ROM still fail to flash.
Anyone can help?

wiping battery stats is uneccessary. when you wipe data, you wipe battery stats.
batterystats.bin ..... directory is /data/system/batterystats.bin
again, uneccessary. clearing the data partition does this. every single time you flash a ROM and do a "full wipe" you are clearing this bin file and resetting it's statistical data about your battery usage.
it has no effect on battery life whatsoever.

I agree mate. But, do u have any idea why I can't flash the ROM? I have redownloaded many times just in case my downloaded file is corrupted, still the same though.

Hi everyone !
As a new Android user, I'm in a need of help... My GS3 is running Omega 8.1 (not sure of the version...) and I've tried to install the battery fix thingie but now I an't start the device anymore.. It's stuck on a screen and I can't do anything about it. Tried CWM recovery mode to restore a back up I've done before but it says it can't mount /sdcard or something like that...
Is my phone bricked ? Is there a way to rollback what I've done and save my datas ?
Thanks for your help.
Here's a screen of what I have when I start the phone :
Boot into cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, then advanced, wipe dalvik, then try restoring

Thank you very much, it worked !!
hey guys i wanted to know if i had to wipe everything when there is an update for a rom? or just wipe cache and dalvik?
thanks
It's a case-by-case thing. Sometimes you only need to wipe caches, but others you'll need to do a full wipe. Usually a ROM developer will note what you have to wipe when they post the update, so make sure to check.
You could always just do a nandroid and then try flashing after a cache wipe. If that doesn't work, you can either restore or do a full wipe and reflash the update.

I always factory reset. Wipe cache, then dalvik. Twice in that order. But you can get away with just wiping cache and dalvik. As most will tell you

Note that the MeanROM installation will wipe cache and dalvik cache for you, so no manual wiping is necessary actually.

When I upgraded Stock Rom with Goodies i didn't need to wipe the cache's, smooth upgrade.
I had CM10 and i decided to give Sence 4 a try as CM10 isnt too stable. I followed all instructions i wiped data dalvik and cache in 4ext recovery then, in aroma i did a custom installation did a full wipe and only clicked on SuperSU by chainfire while using Nightmare's Kernel and rebooted in recovery not in aroma itself as Sportsstar89 said in the installlation video. Everything seemed to be going good the white HTC boot animation showed up but then it got stuck in the black HTC screen for a good 15 min. i had to go back into recovery and flash cm10 again. what did i do wrong? when i went back into recovery to flash the back up it said that 4ext was in "safe mode" and that i had to wipe cache(which i did) and then restart the recovery.
i really want to use sence 4 but i dont want to get an error again and brick my phone or something. has this happened to anyone before?
You have to do a full wipe if going from cm10 to sense. (Or vise versa)
So do a factory reset, wipe both caches, and wipe system. Then flash

Actually I did that too I forgot to mention it I did a factory reset and wiped both dalvik and cache what else could have been my issue?

you need to format the system also.. since CM10 and Sense are like hmm windows xp and windows.. 8... yes its still windows but you wanna format the HD not just try to do a "update" lol.. if that makes sense.. but yes a full wipe includes all of the following.. (wipe data/foctory.. wipe cache.. format system and lastly wipe delvik )... or you can just dl the "super wipe" script in my sig and just flash that then flash a rom, because it's suppose to be able to do all of the above (plus realign the partitions and fix system file errors)

Im not sure exactly where to find that superwipe script. I did all of that but this rom still doesnt want to boot up. It just stays in the black htc screen. I am able to restore back to cm10 though.
