I'm a bit curious as to why I have read more times than I can count, someone stating they did a factory reset/wipe data "multiple times in a row" or "wiped two times, then wiped cache, then wiped data again, then davlik, then... omg I just went cross-eyed".
I seriously have to be missing something. There has to be some hidden easter egg that after the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time you wipe data or cache or some other combo that will trick the phone into really wiping it that particular time. Right? Just has to be!
Spill the goods yo!
As far as I can tell, its to make sure no files are left behind during the first factory reset/wipe. I personally have experienced this on my Droid X, I wiped in CWM then flashed a rom and couldn't get out of a boot loop, but i was able to wipe and flash again and everything worked.
To cut down on skid marks...duh
Its just so remnants of the previous rom do not interfere with the new rom

To make sure no files are left??? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a 'wipe'? I'm being sarcastic obviously when I posted this but if this is a serious answer then I have to second guess the whole idea what is supposed to work, really doesn't.
I'm not being totally ignorant to weird occurances, however... I doubt it happens as frequent as it looks like it is. I see it all over the forums and if its that bad... I'd assume the devs who support the app and or recovery will get it working as close to 100% And my belief is that it is. I just think people have this OCD about doing things multiple times only because some other schmuck did it and now it becomes viral. A factory reset/wipe data is what it is... Stamping it four times shouldn't make any difference. Just my OCD kicking in... Lol

When you try everything else to fix an issue that wasnt solved by doing it once... Sometimes you freak out and go nutty and do it 50 times. I'm not saying that it increases your chance of success but I personally have had success after freaking out and doing things like an ocd nut

It's definitely pointless. The wipe wipes it all first time. I'd be more inclined to think if there is general wackiness after installing a new rom it was a bad install rather than leftover files from a wipe.
When you wipe it's not like it deletes anything. It overwrites it with 1's and 0's to the sectors.. look up file recovery and learn binary. Thats why people use programs like dban. You're not fully deleting something with a sime wipe it's just being overwritten with blank sectors essentially. More you wipe more thorough the actual deletion it is.

I think it is more of a carry over from older versions of recoveries. Cwm used to have locations to wipe all over the place and if you are going into multiple menus doing various wipes it becomes - "did I wipe dalvik? Oh well do it again, what could it hurt".
Actually it just wears out your flash memory quicker.

This...but it's a superstition somewhat rooted in reality. A few years ago there were a few recoveries for a few devices that had a bug that resulted in them appearing to perform a wipe but not actually doing a wipe in some circumstances. It's been fixed a long time but the "wipe 3 times" mentality has stuck for a lot of people.
Never even heard of this until reading this thread. Definitely seems like an OCD thing, wiping more than once. Nothing wrong with people who like to do it but it does seem like a waste of time to me. Kind of like the calibrate battery myth, people were saying clear the battery file then charge the phone all the way up and let it die and all this nonsense. Google Engineer said it is a waste of time and doesn't calibrate the battery.

over writing is actually deleting it. overwriting multiple times does a better job. the wiping doesn't necessarily delete, it just makes the block available to be written over. if wiping were overwriting then the wipe would take a bit longer than it does - possibly doubling the the rom install.

Dude, people on this site are not going to release kernels that will f up your phone. Next time you should probably do a little more research before you trade in your phone for a new one.
Patience is a virtue for most, but when its your primary line and data is f'd up I'm not going to wait. Research at the time was non existent for this matter. I had a new phone in 10hrs when I requested replacement. A dev suggested reflashing the stock radio and re rooting the device to restore data, this didn't take. Its flasher beware, something everybody knows. Devs even post this in the beginning of all threads. Everybody's phone reacts differently to each rom, kernal, radio, theme what have you. I'm just now sitting back and waiting for UD to be released

Just a quick comment, FWIW...
There was a time, when I was more of a noob than I am now, that I used to smirk at people who said they always wiped cache and data 2 or 3 times between loading different ROMs. I thought they were being a little anal - after all, a wipe's a wipe.
I've since learned differently. Recently I had a nasty FC problem that just wouldn't go away until I wiped data three times and then reflashed my ROM. Don't know why, but it works sometimes when nothing else will.
I thought it was anal too haha
I wipe 2 times before a flash.

Cvpcs wrote a great blog on wiping. I too have had nasty fc issues w/ our current recovery. You would think if it's not wiping correctly then 50 wipes would still produce the same bad wipe. I mean, the code doesn't change w/ each wipe we perform
Never had an issue with other recoveries on older phones. Properly written cwmr shouldn't need to wipe more than once b/c the code will only do what it's written to do. Improper coding leads to improper wiping. Just my $.02

Glad I'm not the only one laughing at this entire thread of puns of whiping, being anal about doing it over and over and wiping again!
You guys are right though, everytime a wipe is done, seems the later ones are much faster.
Apparently the more you wipe, the cleaner you get, it get's easier it is to wipe again.

Yeah, that was my point. It's definetly a progressive action. Very strange. I wudda thought like XOdus, that the code would do exactly the same thing each time.

They get faster b/c there's nothing else to wipe from the directory. My final post here.

Of course. But all punning aside, the point he was making is that they get progressively faster, indicating that not all is cleared with earlier wipes. There's no denying that multiple wipes can clear up sticky problems. Even if the reason is "bad code", that's still strange.

I hear ya. The blog article makes perfect sense. Hard to argue with the logic expressed there. And yet... experience tells me otherwise. As I said in the OP, I resenctly had a persistent FC problem with a system file - may have been ProgramMenuSystem.apk, can't remember for sure. Re-loaded my nandroid (that was fine before). While anyone would fully expect that to reslove the problem, the problem continued. Wiped again and re-flashed same version of my ROM. Problem still there. Wiped three times and re-flashed ROM again. Problem gone and never re-appeared.
I cannot explain why wiping data three times eliminated the problem that persisted even after wiping and re-flashing. Yet it did. Go figure.

yerp..seems that it'll happen everytime cache/dalvik is wiped. Since I'm assuming you're not new to this wiping process, you'll probly remember that boot always take a little longer after you wipe the dalvik..it's still the same, just now it provides a visual indication of its progress.
I like it since now you know your phone has actually booted as opposed to the OG Evo where you're left wondering whether it's stuck or not

Alright, so I've been modding my phone and many others since the early days of the Captivate, so I'm pretty well versed in how all of this works. That being said, here's my problem:
My phone has become a bit of a whiny b*tch when it comes to flashing ROMs. I know every phone is unique and what works for some may not work for others. But ROMs that have always done well for me (for instance, Flappjaxxx's Unofficial has always ran flawlessly on my device) are now buggy as hell. MD5s are always verified, I fully wipe as instructed, I don't overclock... It just doesn't work right anymore. I get kernel panics and random reboots all the time.
Any insight as to just what the hell is going on with my device would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

its been a while since I have seen a Flapp's rom on here..............
it may not have anything to do with it, but is that an unofficial 4.1 or 4.2 ?
is that the only rom?
I see your stats and know your experienced, but running a rom from Flapp tells me it may have been a little while. things have progressed quite a bit since then.
lets try this.............when was the last time you went into recovery and wiped you Davlik or Cache? could just be a little constipated.
Flapp is gone, his work only survives on his own site. I keep a copy of his ICS native ROM around because, so far, nothing has come close to being as snappy and stable. It's a sort of safe place that I always come back to. I could go weeks without rebooting and never bog down. I love it.
I still flash new works regularly, always with the necessary wipes. When I start getting buggy, I always try the usual go-to fixes. Wiping the caches, Fix Permissions, all that noise. At first, I just thought it was the rampant instability that comes with a new base. New base, new bugs. But for the last month or so, it makes no difference. ICS or JB, Native or AOSP... It's all unstable for me. Something is wrong somewhere. Something that doesn't change with wipes and a flash.
I'm just hoping that someone with a deep knowledge of Android has dealt with this and reads this post.

for what it is worth, I had some issues when 4.3 came out. was only 1 or 2 that I could run and seemed if I could run it, after about a week it would start going haywire. 2 roms would not run at all. I am not big on running an alternate kernel. the rom should run with the kernel the developer included. I posted a thread and others suggested wiping EMMC. that scared the crap out of me. my internal storage was very full. I was having to delete a file just to install another.
I moved all my music and pics to external and got rid of everything else. anything else was on Google.
I now have no more issues running whatever I want and have maybe had 2 ort 3 reboots in last month or more.
out of habit now, what I do after my multiple wipes is flash rom itself, then flash rom and gapps. let it settle for the 10 and reboot again. then set up. been a pretty solid routine
many out there still have have issues with 4.2, but I have heard of very very few reboot issues on 4.3.
good luck my friend
