Everytime when i open Clockwordmod Recovery to change a rom, every rom suggests to clean cache, clean Dalvik, do back up etc.
First time when i cleaned dalvik it worked.
The time after that, it completely froze on me. Since then, 4 or 5 roms later, i still can't clean my dalvik cache.
Also: After one of the roms, I no longer have the access to the 8th option in Mgldr. It says "invalid boot image sequence" or something along the lines of that, so I have to use the boot ad sd option instead.
Any help please?

You should task 29 before install other ROM
Or, in CWM choose "wipe data factory reset" which wipes all the partitions except system. (Therefore including the dalvik) then flash new rom.

A week or so ago, I flashed "CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1-Liberty" from Rom Manager.
Ever since then, I've been having some issues when installing apps from the Market. Sometimes, installation will fail, giving me the message "Insufficient Storage Space". I checked my settings, and I have quite a bit of space left.
Has this been an issue for anyone else, and does anybody have a solution?
I wouldn't use rom manger at all. Doesn't sometimes work with the aria. Flash rom using your Clockwork recovery. That's a much trusted way.
Oh, really?
I guess I've been doing it wrong all along.
So should I reflash manually?
Yes, I would wipe and reflash from clockwork. Get to it by holding the down volume button while turning on the phone and selecting recovery.

Thanks.
And by "wipe" do you include wiping the delvik cache?
do the wipe data/factory reset in clockwork, then in advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
wiping the cache isn't always required, but it won't hurt you.
1) Boot into CWM red recovery
2) Wipe Data
3) Wipe Cache
4) Wipe dalvik cache
5) Go to mounts and storage
6) format everything that doesn't start with SD, so format boot, system, data, dbdata.
7) Install your new ROM
8) Reboot
Basically 100% chance of NO bootloops or running into errors. Don't know why I put 99.9%.Good Night~

No Offense, but there's plenty(I mean tens hundreds ) of posts saying this.
And step 6 is not necessary, I have flashed over 20 Roms and havent had to format my sd.

Thanks xHoLyx, you beat me to posting the same thing. And step #6 is classic gunnermike speak. I'd recognize that anywhere. Adrynalyne just released EC01 ROM and radio, and both he and GizmoDroid have posted slightly different methods for installing the new ROM and radio. Would you like to also post those exact steps in a how to thread and make it seem like you came up with the steps?
Hi,
I have an HD2 with MAGLDR and CWM. Now i want to update my Hyperdroid ROM because of some issues. The Last Time i did this, all my previous installed apps, sms and contacts are still there.
How can i make a complete clean installation of all this?
Thank you,
trial
Enter cwm
Choose wipe data/ factory reset
Flash new rom.

I sugest to flash "daf.exe" application to recreate boot. And OFC from cwm partition/format SD if you want clean installation.
If you have problem with some roms, put task29 and fix permition

flashing from zip overwrites the boot and system partition, and 'wipe data/factory reset' wipes sd-ext, cache, data and clears the .android folders on the fat32 partition, so unless you want to change the partition size, there is no extra benefit in reflashing cwm (which is what "flash daf.exe" means, for anyone that has only used the flashing tool) and as for task29,,, well i've always considered that to be superfluous except in times where things are genuinely wrong, and indeed doing a full "task29, cwm, rom flash" every time (some people even consider re-flashing hspl, the radio and magldr a 'clean' install ) hugely increase the load on the nand blocks, and considering the number of 'bad block' threads that have been coming up the last 6 months, keeping the number of writes,wipes and rewrites low has got to be top priority.

Hello people. Just wanted to ask how is the right way to wipe when flashing a rom WITHOUT losing the rom (wiping internal)? In CWM i just factory / reset data then thats it then clear cache and dalvik cache. In TWRP do i just need to swipe when the screen says "Most of the time this is the time that you need" when i will flash rom? Thanks for guiding!
anyone?
1. factory reset
2. advance, wipe system
thats all for me, works everytime... just make sure to wipe cache/dalvik after flashing zip files be it roms or gapps or whatever :good:
The default "most of the time" option is a fresh reset of the phone. it wont wipe the ROM itself, but all the data will be lost and you start over. Wiping system will remove everything, a ROM must be flashed after wiping system.
So before i flash a rom i wipe the "most of the time" then advanced format system? right?

true that... sorry for misleading initially, format system only applicable if you wanna have clean install of new rom

No need to use format system unless you are installing a fresh ROM. Format system will remove everything from your device (other than sdcard info and all that). So you get a clean slate.
If you just want to flash an update to the same ROM you can either 'dirty flash', which I usually just wipe cahce/dalvik then flash the ROM and reboot, and you save all your user modified things, or you can wipe system and install the ROM. You lose everything that way so make backups.
Usually there isnt much need to factory reset unless you're having an issue with something. What is it you're trying to do?
I wanted to flash a stock based rom. Thank you.
Hi, I'm from Nougat 4.5.14 and these are the steps I made:
1. Flash codeworx then reboot to twrp
2. Wipe cache and dalvik
3. Install OS 5.0.2
4. Install magisk
5. Wipe cache dalvik
6. Reboot to system
However after rebooting to system it started bootlooping so I decided to reflash OS and wipe data as recommended. So I power off the phone then hold volume down + power to boot to recovery. However when I boot to recovery, file folders started to become random names like its encrypted. Luckily I backed up my internal storage and data so I'm okay to flash everything but can someone help me how to fix the twrp random file names and the steps for reflashing the OS?
EDIT: I rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, and data. flashed OS 5.0.2, wipe dalvik cache, flashed magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot to system and it does not proceed to circling dots. So what I did is just, wipe dalvik, cache, data, flashed OS, wipe again dalvik cache, boot to system and it proceeds to circling dots however it takes so long that I can consider this as bootloop. I'm very tempted to wipe everything (data, system, internal storage, cache, dalvik) then just flash again the OS but I don't know if it would work so I hope someone could give me some steps how to fix this
Edit 2: This is solved now: What I did is just after trying the flash OS with no magisk, I booted to system. However, i just dont boot at all so I decided to boot to recovery again, but this time the recovery is the stock one. I wipe everything I could including cache, system reset, and data (music pics etc) and it booted to the system in no time but everythings lost.
You have to format data... Not just wipe it. From TWRP go to format data, write yes, and let it format everything. Then transfer over to the phone all the fil a you need (ROM, kernel, no verity zip) and flash them as per the instructions of your rom thread. You should be fine.
