Complete Wipe How

Just also help me to understand about wipe.. once you are on wipe menu you get 4 to 5 option. How do I do complete wipe. Should the first option to be selected only or all options to be selected one by one. By now I have been selecting only the first option. Is it safe to wipe the SD card with this.
Wipe factory/data settings. Wipe dalvik-cache. You've now completely wiped your handset.
what exactly is in the dalvik-cache? are there times you wouldn't want to wipe the dalvik?

my understanding is that it is used by the java virtual machine for temp data by running programs... not sure if this is correct.
in any event, there doesn't seem to be a reason not to wipe it - and i've seen many posts about a performance gain if you phone starts to get laggy by clearing it.

How to flash to 2.1?

I'm trying to flash to DamageControl. I've tried both 1.0 and 1.1v5 Beta. The same thing happens in both.
Basically, when I flash the update.zip my phone loads up then gets 2 force closes that cycle over each other. Rosie/sense never loads and I never see the desktop. I can hold the power button and shut down, though. Here are the 2 apps that keep FC'ing.
com.android
com.htc.launcher
I tried the UID fix in recovery and reformated my SD, deleted Ext, and tried the EXT fix in Recovery. I also deleted the cache via Fresh Kitchen. Still getting the same problem.
I'm flashing from a clean Hero. Basically, I made a nandroid back up of my hero before I touched anything on it. The only thing different from stock spring is that it was rooted.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to update from a different ROM?
Thanks in advance.
Did you wipe data and you may have to wipe your davilk cache as well

LOL You obviously didnt wipe cache, otherwise you'd see data/factory reset in the same section.

If you read my post I said I used Fresh's Kitchen Tools to clear the cache.
Edit: Prick.
yea man well instead of being cocky just channel that energy into the search bar cause you got alotta work to do if you cant flash a rom properly
Maybe you just got a bad download. Try redownloading the rom. Also, boot into recovery by turning your phone off, then hold home key + power til you get a black screen with green writing. Scroll down to wipe and then wipe each option in the next screen and try flashing again.

Working on that now. Going back to my nandroid stock image first, then wiping everything, then flashing again.

I tried both downloads but I'll re-download. Maybe my luck is that bad.

Help with flashing anything to my nook

I have tried to flash my nook several times. First with deeperblues honeycomb and then with cm7. On the honeycomb flash it just hangs on the android_ screen and with the CM7 it hangs on the cyanogen splash screen.
Have tried with different versions of CWR and different SD cards. have tried formatting boot and without for the Honeycomb. Always formatting cache, data and system for both cm7 and honeycomb.
Each time, i flash back to 1.0.1 stock, then root, then try to flash the mod again.
It always works returning to the stock 1.0.1 using the cwr complete restore found on the nook color portal. And the autonooter always works as well.
This is frustrating me as im not amble to install any cool mod on the nook. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my NC is resisting any change i make to it other than root stock 1.0.1?
It sounds like a symptom of not wiping data, but you said you're doing that...
Just to be clear, before flashing, you're doing "wipe data/factory reset", then "wipe cache", then "wipe dalvik cache"? Formatting /system shouldn't be necessary but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

I have tried the wife data/factory reset option once when trying to flash honey comb. Still gave me the same issue. All of the how to's i read had me formatting the data, cache and system, and depending on the how to sometimes the boot partition as well. Have been following those to the letters. This is the first time i have heard of wiping the dalvik cache, is that different than wiping cache under the mounts and storage?
Was there a color sticker on the box of your Nook?
Also, have you tried doing an SD only install rather than flashing the internal?

Not sure about the color sticker on the box when i bought it. It was right after it came out so going on a year ago. I have tried the SD only install, that works with honeycomb at least, thats the only one i have tried, all be it laggy because i only have a class 2 card at best.

I did some searching and i think what your eluding to is maybe my partition is the new style(although like i said i bought it within about a week or two of it originally being released)? would running the repartition in CWR make a difference do you think?
The option to wipe dalvik cache is under "advanced" in CWR. Try that in conjunction with a data and cache wipe.
As for the partitions, I don't think it should make a difference. It also sounds like you're on the old partitioning scheme which is the better one to have. You could try flashing the repartition/reformat zips just for the hell of it. Personally I went with the custom 2/4 setup.

Will try once with wiping the delvik cache, data, and cache. I wont wipe the system or the boot. If that doesnt work, il try the repartition and start from scratch. If anyone can think of anything else please let me know.

[Q] Back to factory setting, no trash file left?

Hai all, I'm new to iconia. I've been flashing a custom ROM, a Taboonay ROM, great ROM.
I'm curious about get the original setup like a brand new iconia, without any trash folder after I restored my stock ROM. Tried with hitting the reset button, but it didn't work at all, still got the titanium backup folder and documents..is there anyway i could do to make it clean like i bought from the shop?
Thank you for your response..
hhmmmm
I may be missing a step here, but...
Boot into cwm
Clear user data, cache, dalvik, battery cache
Flash stock rom using cwm
Clear user data, cache, dalvik, battery cache
Someone please correct me if I am missing something here
Works for me. Have done so a few times.

I tried this steps so many times, but still the old folder exsist, thank you for the response.
There is a thread in the Dec section that talks about during entering recovery switching the orientation rocker.and also a thread of putting a blank file landed something then flashing that as well.both of these or one might be related to your issue.
Good luck.I just remember reading those threads.have not tried either as no need to.

Hmm, pretty sure the orientation rocker startup is just for clearing cache - I could be wrong. Took me like 20 times to get it to work, remember using it a few times when i thought I had bricked my a500

Ok, thank you, i'll look for it..cheers..
follow these steps and your device will be just like new ( no leftovers )
Especially step #5 where it formatted the boot, system, and data:
It's like you formatted the hard drive on your desktop before installing the OS
wiping the cache & factory reset is not enough !!

I think i'll try it, because only wipe & factory reset still keep all folder like gameloft, titanium, etc..even all downloaded files remain exsist...so it's not enough...

[Q] A2SD problems.

Here is a story about me and my phone:
I'm using this rom for about 2-3 months and it's great!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
But when I was updating some apps with the Play Store I got error 492.
Googled it and I found a thread on XDA and it said that I had to clear some caches.
So I did that and a Dalvik Cache wipe and I fixed permissions.
But it ended in an endless boot. So wiped everything and I did as an extra a Task 29. I flashed my rom installed INT2EXT+. The first boot after I flashed INT2EXT+ something weird happened: The WiFi just didn't turn on. I just turned it on but the slider bounced back after 5 seconds. Reflashed still that problem. So here comes the question how can I fix it?
Wi-Fi issues are sometimes connected to too small system partition. Perhaps caused by bad blocks. Make sure your system partition is bigger than needed. I usually add 10/15 mb above what the rom requires

Did what you said but when I let it start up I just see just a FC of Settings that's it. :crying::crying:
I rebooted it several times en every time it boots up I see ''Android is Upgrading''.
did you do a 'wipe data' because although the partitioning will clear out all teh nand, there may be stuff on the sd-ext/fat that are left over. a wipe data / factory reset clears those out too.

Yes, it's called A2SD you will have to flash something trough CWM and partition sd card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124

Please Please help me!!!! I'm turning pretty desparate by now!
just saying but:

That's because int2ex need its own script for wiping dalvik, using the one provided with CWM will cause bootloops: both of you can find the right one on the first post of croniccorey's thread. Just search for "Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool" then make it run from install zip from sdcard entry.

If you have int2ex installed then download and run that zip because if you use normal CWM wipe-cache-dalvik, you'll get a bootloop. this may help you?
