Can someone explain why on some Roms you got bootloop after wipe data/factory reset?
I got this on Clean'N'Tweaked and Original Xperia T ROM?
What 'vital' files are in /data partition to cause this?

Because you wipe the system so obviously the Phone cant boot.

wipe data doesn't wipe /system, only /data and /cache.
Also I got bootloop even when performing from Settings -> Backup and restore
I think that rom's have Small Apps.
Small Apps need some cache,almost all two zip's mod need to install part 1,clear cache,reboot,then inatall part 2.
That's why after wipe some roms that includes Small Apps or other 2 zip's mods won't work.

Wiping data/factory resetting the handset wipes the system, just wiping the caches does not.

:what:No... Wiping data /factory reset doesn't wipe the necessary system files required for some ROMS... :sly:
There's a different option in recovery to wipe system

this^^. wipe data/factory reset from cwm does not wipe /system.
Do u wipe data just after installing without booting even once?

Hmmmm....The BIG questions is.....Do you wipe/factory reset after flashing custom roms or before flashing custom roms???
if you wipe/factory reset after flashing customs rom then YES you will get bootloop in certain custom roms....if you wipe/factory reset before flashing custom roms then NO you won't get bootloop....
you should also check if the kernel you use is compatible with custom roms you about to flash on your phone....you need flash custom kernel first (using flashtool) before you flash custom roms using CWM....
OK Thanks for the answers. Maybe small apps are caousing boot loop
But I have another question: How Xperia T users using stock Rom when they do factory reset don't get boot loop?

Factory reset can solve the bootloop problem when we flash one ROM over other...
Factory Reset doesn't cause bootloops...
It just wipes the non-system apps and stuff...
Flashing a ROM with different framework over a ROM (like flashing CM over stock based ROM or flashing ICS over GB etc) , without wiping data /factory reset can cause bootloops...
Although there are a hundred other reasons for bootloops but it's the major one
Iknow , its very late ( 4 years ) lol
but its because of framework-res!
if U flash zellycream rom and reset it ----> every thing normal
install small app on stock rom and after reset---> BOOTLOOP
Sory for my bad English

do a factory reset, clean cache partition, clean dalvik cache,format cache data system and sd card in cwm recovery. but do a backup first with titanium backup.
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Dalvik-cache
done!
You will also need to flash a stock Kernel if you are using a custom one.
Also if it is for warranty purposes make sure you flash a stock firmware too. They can all be found with a quick search.

Hello. I have backed up my stock rom and would like to flash a new custom rom. Team Win Recovery is all new to me as I used clockwork recovery and Amon RA on my old evo 4g. Before I flash a new rom, I know I'm supposed to wipe cache and dalvik, but do I also wipe system? Thank you for your help in advance.
If you're flashing a different ROM all together, then I usually do Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache. (in that order)
I don't know that the order matters, it's just my way of doing it, and I've never had any problems.

Thanks for your quick response. Gladly appreciate it! But there's also an option in the wipe menu to wipe "system". In the wipe menu, there's: cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, battery stats, rotation, system. I wiped cache, dalvik and battery, anything else I neeed to wipe before I install a custom rom? In clockwork recovery, all I used to do is wipe data, cache and dalvik.

Yes, when flashing a fresh ROM wipe EVERYTHING, including system. I usually wipe a few times just to make sure I'm starting fresh. I haven't used this super wipe but you can also check this thread

Edit: I don't usually worry with wiping battery stats or rotation

Thank you. I wiped everything and performed a factory reset.
You don't need to wipe system. Any decent rom out there will wipe the system for you before the rom flashes.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the factory reset wipes system anyway.
No factory reset does not wipe system. Also do not use super wipe zips. They are bad for you

Factory reset wipes the data partition. It does the same thing as the factory reset within the phone settings. If you wipe system, it completely wipes out the OS, and there will be nothing to boot. Of course you can still get back to recovery. When you flash a rom, by default it should wipe the system for you and replace the system with the rom you are flashing. There may be a case where you are flashing an incremental upgrade, which will not wipe the system.
The reason you do a factory reset (data wipe) when flashing between roms is because settings and other stuff that was saved on the data partition may not be compatible with the rom and cause issues.

Based on what?
Based on what developers have said. Super wipe originated from a CWM issue back on the EVO 4G and people never seemed to of forgotten.

The issue was with cwm not superwipe. The superwipe created for this device works fine.
the issue was with cwm, the superwipe was made to combat that issue. a good dev will set his rom to wipe system. all a user has to do is factory reset in recovery. Superwipe is a unnecessary step and could be bad for the phone if its corrupted or the person who made it did it wrong.
really great info, thanks guys!

Yes. A system wipe doesn't affect recovery. It just wipes the system partition on your phone. The recovery partition remains unaffected.

Hi guys,
I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.
Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...
Any ideas on what I can do??
Thanks

Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.

I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...
(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)
Its all working now thanks
EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it

If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.
Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!

I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,

I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.
yes, i sent from my phone using Xda Premium, so what?

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.
