Does a full wipe in CWM Recovery not work on the z2 since the kernel and recovery are together? Like in storage if you wipe /system and /data to fully wipe the phone and then install fresh. Would this just kick you out of recovery, making you have to flash the recovery using fastboot again?
Or does the recovery stay in the memory until a reboot? So that you can install a kernel with recovery again before rebooting?
It works fine

Full wipe won't harm recovery.
You could always make flashable recovery and flash after wipe (before restarting, of course) just to be sure...

I don't think the kernel and recovery are together as such

On most of the sony devices i have played with the recovery is in the Ramdisk ( in the boot.img ) or it can be stored in the FOTA Partition and called upon by the kernel / ramdisk at boot.
a full wipe wont touch either of these.
pvy.
Ok thank you for explaining.
On all of the Android devices if had a full wipe has never wiped recovery.

Early xperias with locked bootloaders and root exploits had recovery in system partition.

Hi! How do you wipe your phone completley? Not only factory reset, but wiping the phone totally clean.
Regards
Using this tool.flash from cwm.remember it will wipe your internal sd-card aswell,so u need an external sd-card to flash new rom or flash with odin.
Happy flashing

Yes ofcause
Just remember that it will wipe your system partition completely..so you will not have a rom to boot into..keep a ROM in hand to flash after you flash this zip..

I bought an S3 today that was already rooted with CleanRom 5.5.1 installed. I am wanting to install CM10. What are the steps I need in order to do so?
I will make it simple.
1. Check out the recovery, in your case I think 3rd part recovery should be already installed, if not, install one.
2. Wipe data / cache, format /system partition in recovery
3. Flash the ROM you want via recovery or Odin.
4. Reboot, done

Boot into recovery and the recovery version should be at top.
If you want to install CM go to their site or thread and read fully the installation instructions.
Check first is your device even i9300, if not change to your own s3 variant forum... I dont think CleanRom is for i9300..
Hey everyone,
So after struggling around a day or so, i finally unlocked the BL, rooted and flashed recovery by artas (thank u ^_^ for this awesome tool).
So i would like to know what are the do's and don'ts when flashing custom roms.
My usual procedure is.
1.Wipe data and cache
2.Flash new rom
3. Wipe data and cache.
4. Reboot phone and wait.
If there are additional steps or uneccessary steps. Do point out
Thanks
U should flash cwmtouch.IMG and not use artas cwm after u unlock bootloader..artas cwm doesn't seem to work with some ROMs I've found..
I do it this way
Wipe dalvik cache.. Cache
Format system
Wipe data factory reset
Flash ROM zip.. Flash Google apps..
Reboot

Could you link me to the cwm u mention?
Also I've been stuck on PA 4.3 and cannot access my sd card via usb, drivers always fail installation
Ill revert back to stock probably and then re-start everything...
if you flash kdz to stock make sure to use a rom that acknowledges the bootloader is unlocked or the adb reboot oem-unlock wont work.
i had that problem and just went back to v20b on my p769 then flashed recovery and rom and everything worked fine
Hey guys, i have an unlocked bootloader and i want to know how to install CM12.1 On my D6503, i have XZDualrecovery if that helps
Thanks …
Is to easy, first download the latest cm-12.1 from here and gapps for lollipop from here then boot to twrp recovery, wipe /data, /cache, and /system, at last flash both rom and gapps then reboot system and you're done [emoji6]

Is a factory reset enough? Or i need to do a full wipe?
Yup, factory reset is enough, but that'll wipe your internal storage too

i always do a factory reset from twrp , internal storage is never touched
hello,
ive recently flashed stock recovery and stock rom (i was using twrp and cm13). everything went fine, the phone did boot and everything worked, except factory reset.
whenever i chose to reset to factory settings, the phone did reboot into recovery mode with error flash system again. thats what i did.
but now it wont start again, its stuck at the huawei logo.
ive downloaded b121, b330 and b370. flashed boot, system, recovery, cust, cache but its all the same.
does anyone have a idea?
btw, whats with "RECOVERY2.IMG' do i have to flash this one too? (ive tried with and without it, but no difference either)
thanks in advance

ive tried this order: boot, system, recovery.img, cust, cache, userdata
boot, system, recovery.img, recovery2.img, cust, cache, userdata
and finally: boot,system,recovery2.img, cust, cache, userdata
but neither did work. right now ive flashed back to twrp and created a flashable zip file (stock rom) with multi tool and see how that goes.
stock rom is running fine now. how do i go back to stock recovery from here on?
Just flash it.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
