You can full wipe from custom recovery. Enter in custom recovery and wipe system,data, cache,dalvik cache. As you said you can't find stock or custom rom for your android then why you want to remove your current installed rom. Without rom your android become unusable.

i dont have custom rom so no custom recovery is there another way? and the reason i want it removed is because no body answered if they know of a custom rom or stock rom for my device, so i prefer to have no rom on it in this circumstance

From custom to stock rom questions.

1. I want to go from a custom rom to a stock rom. Is there a certain way of doing this or do I just download rom, put it into sd then go into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory data/reset then install stock rom?
2. If I go to stock rom do I have to re-root?
3. With stock rom can I use stuff like "15 toggles", "extended power menu" and other mods or do I need to be on a custom rom?
You can use mobile odin to keep root while switching. You should be able to use mods implemented by sphinx02. I think he has put out odexed mod for ext power menu

NO not much works on stock .
You require one of Wanams deodexed stock roms most mods work on those .

[Q] procedure for reinstalling. a custom Rom

A week back I had installed a custom rom, Revolution ICS hd, based in the official ICS....
I flashed a stock extended kernel, for the rom to work.
Nw a few days back, I restored to my stock rom, using backup and restore in the CWM recovery and then restored my originally backed up rom.
Nw I want to install the same rom(Revolution ICS), so my questions are as follows
1- Should I backup my stock rom again ?
2- Should I follow the same procedure mentioned by the developer to install the rom?
3- will I have to flash the stock extended kernel again ?
4- any thing to keep in mind, while reinstalling a custom rom over a stock rom ?
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:-
Phone- Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman
Bootloader Unlocked-Yes
Kernel- Stock Extended
Rooted-of course.
Help me and I will thank You
of course you will need to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache), install rom, then install gapps that suitable to your rom. if you flash without wipe, you (may) face bugs that shoudn't you face in that rom. cheers, and good luck mate.

[Q] Android update

Hi!
I need some help with understanding of flashing custom roms e.t.c.
If I have 4.3 ( latest official update ), is it possible that I upgrade to CM11 4.4? Or I just can flash roms wich are based on 4.3?
Dont get it!
Thank you for responding!
If you have custom recovery installed, then you can install Compatible ROMs for your device (such as CM 4.4). If you are running stock or another ROM, then by entering custom recovery and making Nandroid backup first, you can install the ROM. To install, read the post for ROM you want to make sure compatible/whats needed (like GApps, etc), download, backup current ROM if isssue happens (to save yourself), WIPE data/factory reset, WIPE cache/dalvik cache, install ROM/etc as directed via the ROM post page. As long as you can meet these, you can flash what you'd like.

Welcome, make sure you do your research though on flashing and the ROM in case there are issues with the ROM specifically (ex. Bluetooth not working, or something). Any one thing missing (didn't flash GApps, ROM problem, etc) can cause issue. If no issues or you can live around them if they exist, then good luck.

What is exactly a "dirty flash"?

Hi, it's the first time I've rooted and changed rom to a phone (actually it's first time ever I'm using an android phone) so sorry if this question seems to be stupid
I've installed on my OPX this rom and now I want to update it, I read that I sould dirty flash the new version. What does this mean exactly? I just flash the new version without any wipe? Do I have to reflash Xsposed, gapps, ...? Thanks for the answers

In dirty flash
You only wipe cache and dalvik cache
You dont wipe data and system partition
For xposed you need to flash the xposed file again
And for gapps it depends, but generally you need to flash gapps again
Dirty flash is when you flash one custom ROM over an existing custom ROM on your phone (maybe the same ROM or a different one)
Off topic : clean flash is when you go back to stock ROM and then flash your new ROM zip

How to make a clean install?

Does format data make a a clean install of the rom or i need something else?
I have oneplus5, i just relocked bootloader to install stock oreo, so i wiped data. And now i download and install oreo via OTA. Does this mean i have a clean rom?
And what if now i want to install a custom rom? How can i clean install it?
Tell me only this to clear it on my mind.
Now i have stock oreo, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted. If i go to TWRP and wipe system and data ( and boot?? or this causes brick?? ) and then move a rom ( custom or not ) to internal memory (without exiting TWRP!!) and install it, this is a 100% clean install? Or if i wipe system, then i cant access TWRP anymore?
And last question. If the above statement is true, the rom i try to install must be the same version and the previous, if i dont want to brick my device? Cause the kernel has memorize it?
Just help me clarify these things and i think i will have my question fully answered!
Thanks i advance guys!
This link shows the steps to clean flash a rom : https://www.guidingtech.com/47725/flashing-rom-guide-twrp-android/
But this applies if your current rom and the rom you want to install have the same android version, right? What if i have android 6 and i want to clean install android 8 custom?
Someone delete this thread pls.
