When it's mentioned to wipe memory/factory reset before loading ROM is this the procedure they are referring to?
Thanks -
no.
Since you have to flash the rom from Clockwork Recovery, you will want to do the wipe from there also.
In Clockwork Recovery, you would scroll down and choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset".
No. Just no
U can also wipedata/factory reset via stock recovery... This is incase u bootloop, somtimes wiping data from stock recov will fix this when wiping from cwm wont...
Boot into stock recovery by turningoff phone (or pulling batt if in bootloop), turn on phone by holding home+power, when android and ! Come up hit search button, select wipe data/factory reset, reboot phone... This method will also get rid of rom fragments left behind

Android System Recovery <2e>

wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W}
Wipe cache partition
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/command
the last 1 isn't an option and i want to get my phone back to normal some one please HELP ME!!!!!
Fasboot the files you need. I'm unclear of exactly what you want to do so I can not provide commands for you. Are you looking to Nand restore or something else?
I think their recovery is just fine, but they wiped after updating which is giving them the illusion that their phone is busted.
Just go back into recovery and apply update.zip without any wipes or clears this time then reboot see if that works.

I'm a total newbie when it comes to flashing ROMs and whatnot.
I got clockwork installed correctly and downloaded the superclean ROM to my SD card.
I rebooted into recovery and tried a data wipe/factory reset. It ran and ran and ran for over an hour and I couldn't find any info on the web about how long it should take so I pulled the battery thinking it was hung.
I now boot up and it goes into Android System Recovery. At the bottom it says "Manual Mode"
The SD card is still installed.
It gives me the following options but I can't select any of them.
Reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe data cache partition
What can I do?

Awesome... that booted me back into my previous rom.... wish I would have known that earlier.
How long should I wait for Clockwork to wipe my data?

a data wipe should take no longer than 15-20 seconds...a cache wipe is usually almost instant

Did you flash clockwork within rom manager? There should be an option for the fascinate. Do it twice just for grins. The reboot into cwm and try it again.

Yep I did that first.... I just attempted it a couple of times this morning and it seemed to work today.
It didn't get hung up saying "Wiping Data...." It went to another line and said Formatting Data and sat there for about 30 seconds and completed the wipe. I"m not sure what was different than what I did last night but it worked.
so i flashed miui on my bravo and it just stays on the m screen. i wiped data, cache and dalvik. thanks

First go into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache. Go strait into flash mode and flash the 2.2 sbf.
Yep this has happened to me a few times, if you don't know how... reboot while holding down the power and volume down buttons until you see the little android symbol, then press both volume buttons, a menu will open. from there you'll have to do a factory reset. Your still not done... once the wipe is finished youll have to boot again into the boot loader by holding the power and volume up key. from there you'll need to flash the 2.2 sbf with RSD lite.

Excellent, thanks.
This is something I didnt know, I was stock in the M logo after flashing the 2.2 SBF file.
I flashed with RSD Lite but didnt wipe data/factory reset, and wiped it and everything its fine!
ohh so if i wipe the data and cache then flash the stock sbf, miui will work?

No, all this will do is flash you back to stock android 2.2, MIUI will be erased.
basically you'll have to start all over again with the flashing process.
Make sure that you follow rdannar's instructions EXACTLY when flashing the rom...
I'm assuming your using his latest MIUI rom.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME PLEASE? PHONE STUCK AT RED M LOGO.
While being on Maniac's 25/04 build I decided to run V6 Supercharger. After I tried to run it got a message that it didn't have superuser rights although I pressed alow. The system got slow and I decided to reboot. It got hanging at the red M logo for a few min. Tried with Vol+- and power and after the blue and green lights it keep hanging on the red M logo. I decided to reflash the nightly but when I pres power button at the blue light I don't get to the CWM menu. Tried it 3 times without any effect. Funny thing is that I can still charge the phone. Does anyone have a idea what to do and spare me starting everything from the beginning? Any help is deeply appreciated!!!
can you boot into the recovery menu and wipe the caches and things??
hold volume down then the power button and this should get you into the stock recovery but you can still do a factory reset in there by doing a data wipe then clear cache and dalvik cache.
Not sure this will work and it will wipe all your data and apps but it may recover the system and make it boot.
Edit: maybe just try to wipe the cache first before doing factory reset, This will keep all your apps and data.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately wiping cache on stock recovery didn't help, and if I do a factory reset I'll wipe out everything including 2nd init and cwm. It looks like I have to start with RSD and Froyo again.
yeah it sucks loosing all the apps and setting everything back up again but sometimes it has to be done.
I done it alot before I fully knew what I was doing. Flashing roms and RSD with the wrong kernels and all was frustrating to say the least

You get to CWM with VOL DOWN! And you should make a wipe cache /dalwik from CWM, not stock recovery as you did... You can try make a wipe cache, wipe dalwik cache from CWM, but maybe CWM got corrupted because of wipe cache you did from stock recovery...
If so, you you should make a factory reset from stock recovery, and start again with superoneclick, 2ndinit, CWM... Etc
If you flash custom roms you can forget stock recovery, everything is done from CWM! I've not seen my stock recovery for half year, flashing custom roms from CWM...
Good luck!

Go in recovery and wipe the caches and data factory reset and reboot. What recovery do you have? TWRP 2.6.0.0 causes issues for some users. Try flashing Philz Touch recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2281367, download the .tar file and flash with Odin 3.04 in downloadmode.

No, just flash with Odin without a wipe.
1.Pull out the battery, reinsert it after 30 seconds and boot the device into CWM Recovery: Volume Up+ Home + Power keys simultaneously.
2.Go to “Advanced”
3.Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”
4.Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
5.Choose “Wipe /cache”
6.Reboot your phone
The bootloop should be gone now. If it still persists, do this.
1.Boot the phone again into CWM Recovery
2.Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
3.Choose “Wipe /data”
4.Choose “Wipe /cache”
5.Then reboot your phone.

If these steps don't help. Check if the rom is really for your phone. Redownlod the rom and flash it again. I tight be a corrupt download.
Also what version of cwm are you using? I read bout older cwm versions not going well with 4.3 Roms.
