And other then that you can wipe cache, dalvik cache and data partition.
Data partition wipe will wipe your apps and app data. Nothing else on internal will be deleted

I've been flashing various ROMs over the last few days and mostly doing full wipe installs since i dont have that much to backup/restore.
The way i have been doing it is to boot into CWM recovery and then do three things:
-Wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
I then flash the new rom straight after without reboot.
I noticed in the Hydrogenics thread that it says to format /system under the 'mounts and storage' section as well. Should i be doing this when flashing any rom? Should i be doing else as well (format the sd card etc.)?
I have yet to run in to any problems doing it the way i have been i'm just curious is all.
Thanks

No it's not needed. The only thing sometimes you need is fixing permissions under andvanced in cwm. I hope i helped you anyway.
I always format system just to be sure but yeah ur all good
Mod or Die
no what your doing is fine as the new rom has to build all its information on first boot.
I usually wipe from front to back.

If u want a complete wiped phone format internalstorage. And all wipe options in CWM xD

u can format system in the cwm advanced menu to make sure there are no left overs from your previous rom
formating system is recommended by ME i yet to get those pesky problems that few observed
also when you flqash MIUI it formats system for You just to let you know.
formating system = less or no problems
formating system + no titanium restore = absolutly no problems (one might not agree!)
actually i do the same.....a good question here....format the system in CWM what does it wipe.....does delete any files in the internal sd? anyway how to do system format

The clener your phone is the better. When I install a new rom I always make a deep clean.

Hi guys.
I would just like some help about an issue with My xperia Neo V.
I have flashed stock roms in my neo lots of times and most of them my ram was at about 330+
Now i have .62 rooted and i only have 271Mb of ram
My device has 512 ram BUT 241mb ARE MISSING.
I know that some ram has to be used for system needs but thats way too much almost my half ram?
Is there a way to fix this thing.
(when i say i have 271 ram i dont mean free i mean total.)
(rebooting wont solve it.)
(i am V6 supercharged)
(i have done zipaling to save ram)
I think you should remove bloatware applications and clear dalvik cache?
Dalvik cache eats ram

Do you know what dalvik-cache is for?

but based on personal experience with JJ HYbrid Rom 3.2 that way I was.

dalvik-cache is mounted in the /cache and create a symlink to /data. .
So we're losing memory (And we will continue to lose, with the increase in applications).

and again, what's that have to do with amount of RAM?
not sure what scripts JJ's rom use, possibly for ram management, to move it on one of the partition, so maybe that's why you experienced that. Don't know as I'm not so much into scripts.
By default, dalvik-cache, cache or any partition doesn't have impact on RAM. And I'm not talking about installing 666 apps(on /data or /system) when some of them will sit in RAM memory.
Hi everyone,
I have an S2 phone international edition. I made a stupid error of installing clockworkmod on my phone before extracting my photos and music. Now the phone is stuck in boot loop animation. I tried flashing other roms, like cyanogen - same thing, stuck in bootloop. My cwm is 6.0.1.2. The phone can boot into recovery just fine. I backed up my contacts to an sdcard, but I need to get my photos out before doing a factory reset. So now I need to mount the internal storage on my PC via usb and drag out these pictures. The cwm usb mount is not recognised by my computer, but the pc does see the device. I have tried installing kies for drivers - same thing. Can someone advice me on an external way to unblock phone internal memory and mount it on pc? I heard there are ADW browsers, but I don't know how to input commands in them. Thanks for any help offered.
PS: Perhaps there is a way to remove the cwm without wiping all data?
factory reset will not wipe your photos, music, docs etc... so dont worry

But just to clarify, the pictures are stored on internal memory. Will they remain safe after doing a wipe data?
yes all int sd and ext sd stuff will be as it is...
and did you wipe delvik cache & cache???
---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------
you will lose only apps, sms, call logs... you may take backup from recovery also

So after wiping and hopefully installing a new rom successfully - how do i recover calls, sms and contacts backed up to cwm?

You can't. Call logs, sms text messages and apps+data which you haven't backed up with Titanium Backup are lost.
Try to do a full wipe, and then flash a new rom. Pictures, documents etc. will not be touched.

Can I install CyanogenMod with Odin?,I have got files but CyanogenMod is in .zip file but Odin3 doesn't accept .zip Can I change .zip to .tar
Can't recall that you can flash ZIP's tru ODIN, you should flash a recovery / boot file trough ODIN, then copy your ROM to your SDCARD or Internal Memory and boot into recovery, where you can flash .zip files (like Roms)....
To convert your .img files to tar.md5 (ODIN compatible) go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 and follow the thread steps.

Now I have got Another Problem.I use TWRP recovery to install CyanogenMod but when i want to wipe there is two data options.Last Time I Selected two of these and i deleted Internal Storage + CyanogenMod's file + Android.I don't want to brick my phone again
WIpe only these : Dalvik-cache, Cache, Data, and System
Don't wipe or format: Boot, Recovery or Internal / External Memory.
---------- Post added 9th July 2015 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 8th July 2015 at 11:58 PM ----------
The Internal Storage wipe option wiped your ROM file btw, just so you understand, the Internal Storage actually goes back to factory and deletes everything which wasn't there when you bought it.

Hmm that's awkward... Wait a sec plz, you can choose the dalvik cache, cache and system allready. After that imma tell you which data should be chosen to wipe too
---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------
Ok so it should only be the first Data, button, the fourth is internal storage, which shouldn't be wiped
As shown here http://cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/nexus-5-twrp-wipe-options.jpg
Ok I am started to wipe
Thank You Very Much!My Problem is solved
I managed to encrypt my phone. How do i get rid of this encryption? I don't find anything on how to do it. Flashing this DFE treble doesn't do anything. Before the encryption, modules like yt vanced were working but now nothing is working
decrypting will delete everything on your phone. Just format data. Dont wipe it go format DATA. then flash DFE.

what recovery are you using?
---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------
Make you sure the setting "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" is disabled then format cache,system,data and internal storage. For data you have to literally Format Data and type yes to confirm for encryption to be removed then flash dfe.

twrp 3.3.3
ah ok you meant the other data where you have to type yes. Is there a difference between deleting storage and "yes"data? and won't that delete my recovery too?

nope. It wont delete your recovery as it only deletes data. Basically it removes everything on data which includes encryption. deleting storage only removes whats in your storage not within the data.
