Hello,
I rooted my eris about a month ago and have flashed about every rom thats been on grdlock's site. But one thing I've never been quite clear on is the whole wipe process. Can someone explain the difference between the factory wipe and the dalvik wipe? For instance why should i do one or the other or both before flashing a new custom rom?

Can anybody help??
The factory wipe cleans the phones OS out, the dalvik wipe clears the cache. You don't need to know exactly what they do to know they definitely make ROMs run much cleaner when you do it, because I really dont know the specifics. I don't know how commands are programmed into DOS but I still know that the commands work...if that metaphor makes any sense.
PS - you should definitely do both before flashing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid backup
thanks taco. that helps a ton.

Sorry to let you down my friend.
factory wipe is like formating your harddrive on your computer before installing a new OS.
dalvik is a way to run multiple virtual machines where parts of the applications your running on android also run during normal operation to minimize memory and cpu usage, the cache obviously plays a part in memory usage, clearing this is like rebooting the ram on your computer to run faster.
in summary: format both and google your questions before asking them.
thanks guys. and trust me i did search all over for this but couldnt find a definitive answer. i just wanted to know for myself exactly what each "wipe-type" does, but i'll just stick with using both before i flash a new rom unless the dev instructs otherwise.

Factory wipe is not wiping the os
...factory is like restoring the os, to how it came when you first got your computer, deleting all your programs, personal files, and stuff, that you added over the life of your computer.
You got cache down though.
Hope that makes it a little more clear.

Hey guys,
So I'm planning to flash the ROM at this URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131217 but it requires that I "wipe" first. My rank says it all--I'm new to this stuff.
So, to the question; What should I wipe, and any tips on flashing this ROM?
Thanks,
Lacedaemon
Well, Its for a different phone, so I would say no.
First of all, Linux has a few different folders. /data is used to install all your apps and stuff, but /system is for the 0S and stuff. The /system section is restricted unless you gain root access. Anyways, /system isn't removed via factory reset, just /data. Installing a new rom, /system has files usually overwritten.... Hope that helps a little. The other folders are for cleaning up what's ever left over.
I'm sorry for the ignorant post-I feel like I should know this by now, but I've searched a bit and can't seem to find a very clear explanation.
What's the difference between a "fake" flash and a "real" flash? I've been running CM7 nightlies for the past 6 months on my T-mo G2x, and I've been flashing it the same way every time.
I boot into recovery/CWM,
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select the newest nightly
Let it install over the existing ROM.
As I understand it, because I'm not erasing the old rom (and so I don't have to deal with the titanium backup and all that business), I'm not doing a "real" flash? How do I do a real flash instead of a fake flash?
Do I select "wipe data/factory reset" and then "install zip from sdcard"? The phone has been very sluggish, and I'm curious if this is the cause at all.
I'm just afraid of rooting around in there because I don't have any idea what I'm doing.
When you flash an updated ROM it should keep your programs, settings, etc. I also wipe cache and dalvik cache each time. If you want to erase all user data and start from scratch you can always do wipe data/factory reset and then reinstall everything.
Thanks, that's what I ended up doing- it's very snappy now =D
I guess I didn't back up my apps properly with titanium backup, though. Oh well, at least I still have my pictures!

Moving to Q&A
Ok your question is "difference between fake flash and "real" flash", unless I got me wires crossed, this is talking about clockwork mod and the method of the recovery to flash a new rom. Fake flash is a zip file in the root of your SD card which contains the scripts and binarys, which brings up a special UI (not loading android) to flash a rom. This is normally used on phones with locked bootloaders or s-on. The "real" flash is when the actual recovery in the phone itself (not SD card) is replaced with the customize clockwork mod recovery.
I hope this answers the actual question for you.

I've been having alot of issues, lag, freezes, reboots, and ive been having these issues on a few different roms ive tried. I had Been running the paranoid android one from Jamied81 and it worked great but then i switched around and on any rom including the PA one, and other cm10 roms, im having the same issues, So There must be something wrong with my phone... i guess?
How can i completely wipe clean and start fresh? because ive been wiping data, cache and dalvik cache but thats not helping...
Of course i could go back to best buy and cash in on my warranty.. but i really dont want to do that...
thanks
Well,
It depends on the level you want to take the "cleaning" too...
Data, cache, dalvik cache, and stats are a normal cleaning, and used by most folks to get an average clean.
Some roms even state to do this 3 times or more to be sure.
Two additional steps are needed to get the device "clean". and it involves moving everything off of the device to PC storage, and wiping the following two areas.
( by everything, I mean "anything" you want to keep. pictures etc.)
First, the SD card. As the device uses this memory location for cache of files, and bits of user data, it can be a source of misery when bouncing between roms. so a complete format to FAT32 on the PC will wipe this card clean.
Second, and my personal favorite, is wiping of the internal card space, or the EMMC partition.
This is performed through the recovery, under the advanced options menu, in the format sub-section.
Effectively, wiping the emmc "will" remove all rom data from the device, above the normal data wipe level, and leaves the device empty.
Note: the new rom will re-populate the needed files to run the rom upon the first boot cycle.
IMPORTANT !!!
If moving files back to your device from PC, you must ensure that they are clean too. It is very easy to forget that many files contain rom specific data, and should be avoided as a restore function, especially APK's....
The partitions from the last rom will remain in place, but they will be overwritten by using odin to restore the device. ( if you wish to restore the factory rom architecture )
If odin or kies are not used, the rom partitions remain, but are empty anyway.
"WARNING" !!!!
Although this method is considered safe, you "will lose "any" data or files left behind on the internal space of the device, or on your External SD card by formatting.
And you must place a new rom to your External card prior to placing the card back into the phone, and use CWM or TWRP recovery to flash a new rom in recovery mode. (unless odin or kies are used to return a device to stock condition)
Note: (no pun intended)
This method will "not" touch your recovery, Unless using odin or kies to push a non-rooted rom to the device, and the user must choose carefully when selecting any firmware image to flash.
It is up to the user to restore the factory partitions by flashing a stock odin rom, unless the last rom was a "stock" rom. (Note: kies may be used as well, but Odin is the most common, and works well )...
The standard recovery flash can be used, and is advised if you want to retain root...!!!!
"WARNING" !!!... THE USE OF ODIN OR KIES TO FLASH A STOCK FIRMWARE IMAGE WILL REMOVE YOUR ROOT, AND RECOVERY, FORCING THE DEVICE BACK TO A STOCK STATE....( choose carefully as you select any image to flash using Odin or Kies, as these roms are likely "NOT" rooted roms, and will jam you up)...
I hope this helps you.
Please ask if you have any questions, "before" attempting this procedure... PM included.
And could the Mods please move this thread to QA ? Thank you.....g

So i format the card separately, format the emmc in recovery, and install a new rom? do i need to deal with the other partitions? or will the new rom just take care of that?

Another easy way...go to this site: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25980-sgh-i717ucle2-official-leak/, follow the instructions, bam. Basically just throw into DL mode and hit start, its one of the one click Odin ICS leaks from designgears and it completely wipes everything on your phone.
I have run into similar sounding problems as yours where my phone won't wipe properly in cwm, and I've used this to completely nuke my internal storage and start over.
Of course, transfer all pictures, music, and important files to your computer first. Then after you use the one click Odin, just begin romming as usual

While i've seen and like the rootzwiki method, I prefer to manually wipe and install roms.
For me, it adds back in, that level of control I like to have when changing roms etc.
I'm the " do it myself " kinda user ...but I agree, it's a good system.
Thank you for posting it ....g

Yeah, I prefer the manual way in cwm as well, but I've run into an error a couple of times where it won't wipe properly. So I nuke my phone to fix the ability to wipe. There's no way I would do that every time I flash a ROM.

True ....and of course, my post was meant in the context of a device having severe problems.
I seldom use that method either, but in a pinch it's good to have available ......and if users see and retain either of the methods we've posted, they can repair virtually any problem going forward.
And hopefully avoid those JTAG moments we all dread ....g

Thanks for the reply. But, i dont see any instructions... what do i do with the file?
Basically its a one click version of Odin with the files already loaded into it so you don't have to pick anything.
Download it to your comp, unzip the file (I believe?), open the program, put your phone into download mode, connect it to your comp, make sure Odin recognizes it, then click start.
Takes a bit because its a huge process that it's undertaking, but at times its necessary to go nuclear on your phone.
Really should only be used as a last resort to wiping your phone.

I mostly wipe front to back.
Something strange happened to my S3 after a simple reboot I noticed that some app have been removed so I decided to clean my phone on the way.
I made a full wipe + everything you can think of to clean, delete, format the phone but after I install the rom I can still see my apps in the application manager and I can't get rid of them even if I uninstall them through the application manager the come back after a restart.
I tried 2 different roms but it happens on both of them, both are xxDLIB .
How to fix that?

Are the apps system apps perchance? A wipe of data WILL wipe all user installed apps, the full wipe script alluded to doesn't do anything that you can't do manually from recovery.

Sure the apps aren't part of the ROM. Depends on what the dev has cooked into it.
Sure you're doing a full wipe vs wiping caches only.
Could also be syncing to your Google account meaning when you launch play store it automatically detects your market links and reinstalls previously installed apps

That fails wipe internal sd card .

explanation
I think I didn't explained my self right, these apps are "user" apps downloaded from Play store.
things I did before installing the rom:
1. factory reset from setting.
from cwm:
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. wipe dalvik-cache
5. wipe battery stats
5. format /cache
/system
/data
/preload
/sdcard
* also I removed the external sd.
but still I have these app "ghosts"
Then i suggest as per previous replies to the same question you are auto downloading from Google play after installing a rom .

I disabled wifi/data and sync when it ask for a wifi connection (at the openning screen of the new rom) so there is no way it somehow sync with play store.

Clean Rom Install
Many people don't exactly know what a Data Wipe / Factory reset is. NO it does not delete "all" your data on Internal SD-Card. It Deletes all you user data and settings and stuff, like it says it formats "system". For Example if you Full wipe you loose Whatsapp, but the Whatsapp folder on your internal SD-Card remains untouched, that means you can restore your Conversations with ease. This means you can cause a huge mess on your internal SD-Card over time. This is my way how to do a CLEAN install. Doing this prevents many unwanted issues like Bootloops, FC's and all those other nasty laggy ****.
1. Put new rom on EXTERNAL SD Card (if slot available)
2. Data Wipe / Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Format Internal SD card
6. Install Rom and enjoy
Keeping your personal Data on your external SD-Card is a good idea (pics, music, vids , docs ...)
[You can do this even if you don't have an ext. SD-Slot. After "cleaning" your device mount USB-Storage in CWM Recoery and you can connect to pc and pull over your rom. ]
And this is probably one of the best ways to do a clean install without aditional Scripts like superwipe or other "flashy" stuff. (DO NOT USE THOSE SCRIPTS UNLESS THEY ARE IN AN INSTALLATION GUIDE)
One addition to above format/preload as well .

Hey guys,
I was running LiquidSmooth v2.9 previously, and thought I would try some of the other mods. Heard a lot about SlimBean so gave the lastest version a try (Build 7). Right off the bat, the ROM was highly unstable. It would crash randomly and often. After a few hard reboots (Power+Home button), the ROM just refused to start up - it would get stuck on the boot screen logo. I tried clearing the cache + Dalvik, but no luck. It would boot to the 'Android is optimizing app' bit but would get stuck at "starting apps" after it finished optimizing.
I had Illusion ROM on the phone, so flashed that, wiped the cache + Dalvik, but the phone is behaving in similar fashion. It gets stuck on the boot screen logo, or at the "starting apps" bit if i clear the Dalvik the cache.
I fear I may have bricked my phone. I hope there is a solution to this. Any help will be appreciated!

I went to CMW and selected wipe/factory reset option which should delete all user data. It brought my phone back to life, with IllusionRom in it, but I am encountering random crashes like how I did when I first installed SlimBean. I am sure it's going to go the same way and I will be stuck again with a bricked phone.
Slim Bean suggest to format/system from Mount and Storage in CMW. Is that recommended? Because wipe/factory reset did not delete my user data like Gallery images.

Is deleting SD card necessary - I don't know how that will help especially since it only has images and other media.
I will try formatting system, data, and preload. Should do something else - like erasing the currently installed ROM and put it back again? No idea how to do that though. Should I flash the ROM again, regardless?

camera images are stored on /sdcard not /system.
This is quite a basic understanding of layout. Please read the "read before rooting" thread in my signature. It has all the basic info you need to know.
I performed format/system/data/preload/cache, wiped dalvik and normal cache, and reset to factory settings. Installed Slim bean along with Slim Gapps. It seems to be working, or rather I am getting prolonged used out of it before it crashes. It has only crashed once for me (I was just browsing the homescreen), but I haven't used the phone frequently due to work.
I don't think the problem is solved. Could it be related to emmc chip?

I have had two crashes so far, but since the past 5-6 hours, it is going steady. Slim Bean is quite slow, especially compared to LS, but I am not if it's the ROM or if the system is performing optimally.
Anyways, if I have another crash, I will install the stock and give it a try. Will keep this thread updated.
