Sorry for the silly question. I'm on the go and I don't have my laptop. I need to know how to do a full wipe. Either from terminal or recovery. I am using recovery version 3.0.0.2. But when I do the wipe, and flash a new rom, somehow the wifi settings along with wallpaper and some other things are saved and I don't want them to be. I want a complete wipe...
Btw. I did uncheck the box for backing up settings to Google servers and its still restoring things. Getting frustrating.

on the clockwork 3.0 just wipe data/factory reset and it should be fine. Keep in mind though that 3.0 is only for gingerbread based roms such as CM7 or cm7 nightlies and I think there is another gingerbread floating around.
If you want to revert back to STOCK, or a 2.2 rom you can use rom manager to flash the 2.5 recovery. Then wipe data/factory, dalvik, cache, to flash a new rom. To revert back to 3.0 for a gingerbread rom just fastboot flash the 3.0 recovery

Wiping via ClockworkROM doesn't do a full wipe. I've encounter what the OP is talking about. I can wipe the factory ROM then go to flash a Cyanogen ROM and my wall paper sticks and some of various settings stick. Yes a factory reset and a Cache Clean, and Dav Cache clean and it will still stick.
He is talking about 100% fresh clean phone like you bought it brand new.
that's exactly right... 100 % fresh clean cm7 is what i'm looking for... but i can't seem to get a full wipe... keeps restoring some settings

My basic question is can I repeatedly reflash the same ROM to my Epic without wiping data between flashes?
I flashed a ROM and then manually flashed a number of add-ons and optional installs from other ROMs. My phone is now in a state that I don't like. I thought I did a nandroid backup after the initial ROM flash, but I didn't. I'd like to just reflash the same ROM that I already have on my phone, hopefully just wiping cache + dalvik first. I'd rather not wipe data and go through all that again if I don't have to. Is this safe to do?
Yes its safe. Only reason they say to wipe is going from one rom to other rom u may get some probs.

Hey all still a newb here so posting the question here. Now Ive got myself to 3.2.2 rooted it and then got stock rooted 4.0.3 ics on it. Everything run sweet after ready threads I think the Team EOS build seems better.
So my question is how would I go to the build from what I have now. Ive read the thread but it lacking a bit of info and somewhat confusing. Im thinking I do a complete wipe from recovery (which is clockwork) then flash build zip from sd. then flash gapp.zip (google apps) from sd...
Is this correct? I just want to make sure.
Thanks everyone!

This is correct.
Wipe Data (Factory Reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache and battery stats.
flash the build zip and gapp.zip from SD and you're all set.
thanks!

If you have CWM recovery installed you can just flash the most current Eos nightly build --if you're wifi-only then it's wingray build #44, and then right after, flash the Eos GApps v 10.3. You will have to wipe your cache partitions and go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. You might get away without a data wipe, but if things get unstable (due to new version of GApps) you'll have to wipe.
Make sure to make a nandroid backup first.
nice.

I was lucky and hadn't put too much on it. So the wipe wasn't a big deal, if I'm right don't have to wipe every time to update build so was worth it. As a lot say my Xoom a lot snappier now. Would recommend doing it!
Wiping is usually the best way to go. There are workarounds, but the effort it takes to do so kinda outweighs the result.
so my question is....
im new over here, and fairly new to xoom and modding and what not.... anyway would i let the xoom update to 4.0.3 then flash to the nightly?
this is where im lost cause im on 3.2 right now, im unlocked, rooted and have cwm 3.2.0.0 ( US ver wifi only )
i want to finally get a custom rom on here but not sure what to go with?

I went from a rooted tiamat 3.2 rom to a nightly and it worked fine. I would do a wipe within clockwork recovery before flashin the new rom. Also remember to use titanium backup to backup your stuff first...

Are you still rooted and do you have CWM recovery installed? If yes, it's easy to flash Eos ICS. You go to the correct thread for your device, download the latest Eos ICS rom, the latest Eos GApps v 10.3, put them on your micro sdcard (or internal storage, depending on what CWM recovery you have), boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, do a data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash the rom and the GApps zips one after the other all in the same recovery session, without a reboot inbetween. Then, reboot into Eos ICS goodness! Get all set-up and you're good to go. It will help if you do a full backup of all user apps and data in Titanium Backup and then, after your wipe, do a batch restore of "missing apps and data."

When first flashing a nightly a nandroid backup is recommended but it's not that necessary when going from your first nightly to another nightly. At least I don't do that because I'd rather hasten the whole data wipe/flash process and it works for me.
At some point in the past, I rooted my Evo with Unrevoked. I'd like to undo that (if necessary?), in order to run CM7. My current baseband version is 2.15.00.11.19. I'm on 2.2. What do I need to do in order to either 1) return to stock and update to 2.3 or 2) install CM7?
All you need to do is put cm7 on your SD go into recovery do a full wipe (factory reset/data, data, system, cache, boot, sd-ext, android_secure, dalvik cache, etc but not SD card or battery stats) go to flash zip from SD locate and select cm7 wipe cache and dalvik cache again flash gapps wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and presto! you're now on cm7 no need to unroot/reroot or go back to stock
We are legion, for we are many.
hey,
Yeah just like evil said, place it in your sd card, do your wipes and flash it. if you unroot then you wont be flashing roms at all! Just google how to flash a rom and it will give you pictures and everything, now if you want to update your device dont unroot, just find a stock sense rooted rom right here on XDA. Itl be allready updated and rooted for your flashing pleasure!
Disclaimer: I'm used to my old Evo 4G and use a triple wipe script built into my recovery (smelkus) whenever I flash a rom. It pretty much wipes everything.
For the Nexus 7, what needs to be wiped to flash a rom? I did a factory reset, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped system, wiped dalvik-cache, and then flashed a new rom, but I wasn't sure if all that was necessary. I'm using the latest TWRP recovery.
If I'm moving from one rom based on a jelly bean version to another based on the same version, am I ok?
Can I assume upgrading to a new version of the same rom that I don't have to wipe? (I know this one is rom specific, but in general.)
Can I leave data and will that retain my apps? Otherwise, I use Titanium Backup religiously on my Evo and now on my Nexus 7.
I searched within some of the rom instructions as well as the rooting guides, but didn't see anything specific as to what to wipe. Some threads seem to say just factory reset and maybe dalvik-cache.
Instructions with what to wipe usually come in the original post of each ROM. Usually the same ROM with different version only requires a cache wipe while moving between different ROM's requires a full wipe/reset + dalvik.
Worse comes to worse you try something and it doesn't boot and you get back into recovery and fix it.
This is my first android phone and therefore cm10.1 is the first ROM I've ever had so I've never updated my ROM before. Goo manager sent me a notification saying that Cm10.1 rc2 is now available but in order to download it do I have to wipe my phone to factory default or can I just install it over my old cm10.1 and keep my apps and stuff?? Thanks

The whole point of the CM updater is that you don't have to wipe anything - not data, not cache. Just start the download, click OK to install when it finishes downloading, and it'll flash itself over your previous installation. The same applies to downgrading to an earlier release - no wipe needed.
Yes, you can keep your apps and system settings. No need to backup and restore - they'll be exactly the way they were before you downloaded the update.
However, if you are migrating to an entirely different ROM (i.e. not the official CM), then yes, you probably need to wipe. Going back and forth between different updates of the same ROM doesn't need wiping though.
You can just flash it normally using CWM. It's called Dirty Flashing. DO clear Cache and Dalvik before flashing

So what do I do just download the ROM and its gapps again and flash them both? Which one first?

Wipe Cache and Dalvik -> Flash ROM -> Flash GApps -> Reboot.
And don't forget custom kernels

No need to flash Gapps again on CM, unless data is wiped because of the b/u scripts.
The updater script in the ROM also wipes the Dalvik for you.

Actually you don't have to do any of that except flash the rom and reboot. All the rest is automatic.
I reverted to my backup that I made before flashing. Franco kernel didn't work and I had all the crappy apps I uninstalled from cm10.1 like Apollo and stuff .. What's new is rc2 anyways?
updating cm10.1
Hi all
I am currently using cmw6.0.2.3 and rom cm10.1.20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-p3100-M3 and would like to switch to using cm10.1 nightly. Reason to switch is because pie control in M3 is not working and I saw in some video that it is working in nightly. May i know how to update usingmanual mode please? And also will it deketenall my installed apps and data?
Thanking you all in advance
People,
1) Nandroid Backup.
2) Dirty Flash, if something doesn't work or it starts to fails, restore nandroid, backup everything (needed) with Titanium backup or similar, wipe everything, flash, restore, win.
