So, I need to wipe my phone, but am going to keep it rooted with the d3rp ROM still on it. I was wondering if I should factory reset or upgrade the ROM.

Well, if you want to keep the rom, then dont flash a new one.
What recovery do you have, some have a factory reset option
Just wipe data, cache and dalvik though

Data Wiped Failed me during ODIN reboot, now I'm stuck, help.
That's a bit vague. What kind of wipe was it? Dalvik cache? DATA partition? Factory reset?
Or, you could just Odin back to stock

No, after ODIN finished it goes through the formating of all of your system, data, etc, yet it reached my Data and said DATA WIPE FAILED, and i already i tried ODINing back...

My Amaze is rooted and when I try to check in on Latitude, have tried with check in automatically checked and unchecked, it fails check in and says try again later. I have tried with Wifi on and off, and no difference. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Try clearing cache

How do you clear the cache?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I cleared the Google Maps cache, if that's what you were referring to, bu that didn't help.
What about cache and dalvik in your recovery tried clearing? Last I could think of reflash rom. But when you reflash don't wipe anything except for cache and dalvik. If all else fails, Start from scratch?

I keep reading people suggesting wiping multiple times before flashing a different ROM. Could I get a few people to sound off on the subject? I don't see why you would need to but I am in no way an expert and am hoping to learn something from these responses. Thanks!
Better safe than sorry. Only takes a few seconds.

I've heard both sides of the issue. Some state that you should do it just to make sure to get everything cleaned out in case something was missed the first time. I've also heard that you shouldn't do it, as it puts unnecessary formats on your memory and isn't really needed. I don't wipe multiple times and I don't run into issues.

I don't multiple wipe. But I do wipe multiple areas - system, cache and dalvik every time. Works fine for me.
I was wondering how it could possibly help but I don't know everything for sure

"Full" wipes help with FC and random reboot issues between ROMs. They're not always required, but they do help to ensure "clean" installs and minimal issues when switching ROMs.

multiple wipes was only necessary for older cwm recovery. *it had a bug and wouldnt wipe properly*
newer cwm and twrp2 you have no need to wipe more then once but if it makes you feel better then go ahead

It probably also comes from people having little idea to what is going on.

I found this to make a big difference. When flashing a new rom, make sure you wipe the system before flashing (never used to do this, now I'm finding my fresh installs less buggy). If doing a dirty flash, wipe cache, Dalvik and fix Permissions after.

OK, that's about what I was thinking. I always wipe system, cache, dalvic, and usually do a factory reset. Thanks for the help everyone

If you do a factory reset... That wipes the dalvik cache, as that resides on the data partition. That also wipes the cache partition as well.
And any dev worth flashing a Rom from should have it format /system in the script.
All i have done for ages is factory reset and flash.

The answer is no, but if you just factory reset, it will wipe your internal memory, also you may end up not having a rom installed. If you're trying to make it near stock, I would download stock rooted rom, wipe everything, then flash.

Cool, the phone is just rooted, not running a custom rom. I just wanted to keep root for tethering. But I need to wipe data so My wife can upload her accounts and settings

The Rom is on the /system/ partition so it shouldn't be affected when you do the factory reset.

^This. The only way you'll wipe the ROM is to do a system wipe in recovery.

That is right because I accidentally hit factory reset and it just wiped my internal sd. Like said though, if you want a fresh phone, factory reset

You WILL NOT lose root by preforming any wipes through recovery.
Alright so I'm currently running ViperDna. Well I tried to flash CM 10.1 and it just sits at the boot up animation and never actually loads up. So I tried flashing the stock Rom and same thing. Using TWRP. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Yea I am s-off. Used moonshine to do it. And I had flashed roms before and they worked. I have even flashed cm 10 on e but restored to my viper backup because I couldn't figure out how to get gapps on CM and I ended up needing to use my phone so had to go back

Did you factory reset, wipe cache, system, and dalvik cache and then flash it? Just don't wipe data in twrp or it will wipe your SD card.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Sorry about the delayed response. I had wiped the cache and dalvik but didn't factory reset. That solved my issue. Thanks!
