I found out another CWM effect: If you try to factory reset from settings(settings/privacy/factory data reset) it will not work as this process also goes thru the default recovery instead of CWM recovery.You will get the "errors in red" texts.
Do factory reset from CWM recovery if CWM is installed.

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

My suggestion is that your read through the forums here as there are several "beginner guides" that will get you started.
After you installed your first custom rom the process proves itself to be easy:
- Flash a stock ROM (2.2 nordic)
- Acquire root using SuperOneClick
- Instal Clockworkmod recovery/2ndInit (I prefer 2ndInit)
- Transfer the nandroid backup (.zip file) to the root of your SD card
- Reboot phone when led turns blue hit volume down
-Wipe data
-Wipe cache
-Wipe Dalvik (It's under advanced)
-Restore -> select update zip from sdcard
- Browse to the nandroid backup file you put on your sdcard in step 4
Done

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.

Hi guys,
That is the situation: i was running Purity ROM + ART on my new Nexus 10. I've got the lastest TWRP installed.
Few minutes ago I've decided to flash KT Manta, in order to make some undervolt... but something went wrong...
The flash seems to have been successful, but later, during the chace wipe, the device suddenly turned off. I tried to turn it on, but I was stuck at the loading screen of the rom.
Then I went into recovery, I've tried to wipe chace again, but TWRP fails, and is one of the messages of error "unable to mount /chace."
Fortunately, before flash the kernel, I did a nandroid backup (of evrything except cache, unchecked by default). The restore seems to be successful (success, 135sec time), but I'm still stucked on Purity Loading screen.
So THAT is what can I do:
1 - I can enter fastboot menu
2 - I can enter recovery
3 - My tablet charges normally
But I can not load the ROM. Seems to be a soft brick, but I need your help. Pls: ((
Just flash the factory image. This will wipe the entire device. If you want to backup anything just adb pull fron recovery..

Woooh i've finally solved it
That's what I've done:
1- Turned off the device for a while
2- Made a factory reset
3- Wiped Chace ---> no errors this time!
4- Wiped Dalvik chace --> no errors here too!
5- Restored the nandroid Backup
So I flashed the latest version of TWRP on my s7 edge SM-G935F
And I got the error "failed to mount data" I formatted my phone and I didn't see the error again, I rebooted my phone and everything was working fine then when I wanted to root my phone with Magisk, i went back to TWRP recovery and I got the error again, so I formatted my phone again and rooted it, then I rebooted my phone and I said that the data is corrupted that I should reset my phone to factory reset, I went back to TWRP recovery and still get the same error.
It's like the TWRP recovery is not stable and it also reset immediately you leave so that when you come back you must format your data or factory reset it before you can use the recovery.
Can Anyone help fix this problem, I don't want to wipe/factory reset my phone every time I go to recovery. What if I make a mistake and go to recovery? That means I must wipe/factory reset my phone before using.
Please help!

If it's telling you "failed to mount /data", go to wipe > format data and type yes. Factory reset, do your things and then reboot back and install what you want, you shouldn't get the error anymore.
But later if I want to flash another thing like a mod, I have to wipe data again

Nono. Wipe data once, factory reset in twrp, and you don't need to wipe data again after that. Only wipe it once after you format data.
