Update fail

My girlfriend updated her slide to 2.2.1 from my computer and now it's running at least 50% slower. We did the official htc update, but it has ended badly. Any advice?

Just wipe everything and flash rom without booting.

Without booting?

Yeah...otherwise if you boot your phone after wiping it, your settings (apn a.s.o.)
are in there.
ROOT will be set by flashing.

So I can just do it all thru recovery

Yes, but next time please ask questions like this in the thread for the rom that you want to switch to as this question did not warrant the starting of a new thread! We already have way to many threads like this cluttering up the forums!

ok sorry. So all I do is boot into recover and wipe cache then install?

For me I leave it on charge and at 100% I boot into recovery wipe cache, devlik cache, then factory reset but you may get buy without having to do factory reset since although different it still is cm 7 but if you don't factory reset and it won't boot do a factory reset then it should boot

It does support them but not as a blur rom does cm7 puts internal under mnt/emmc and I think miui best I remember is the opposite. But mods can be done to switch them.

Can I do a restore when on a custom Rom?

Ok I can't find anything to answer this question. Therefore I am asking, because I just don't believe this has been asked be4. I am running Revolution HD 6.3.1. My phone(HTC INSPIRE 4G) sometimes just slows down to a halt. It started about a week ago. I have uninstalled a good many apps, and cleared plenty of space. Prior to rooting, and flashing I had this problem and restoring to factory setting fixed this. Ok now that I've explained that, the Rom(as stated above) I'm on has the option to do this. I want to know if I do this if it will "restore back to just flashed condition" although it says factory condition, but Is a flashed ROM. Will it just simply put, brick my device, or reinstall the Rom as if I had just flashed it. Thanks ahead of time.

Ir you factory reset the phone you will get stuck in the splash screen. If you want to go back to stock, the restore a backup from CWM or flash a stock Rom from CWM. Factory reset does not work in custom roms...

Thanks for that response. I'm not interested in stock at all. I just wanted to know if it would work. Root and flashed Roms are always smoother, even if some of them have bumps. Truthfully I'm waiting on a RC Rom from Existz, as I just want a stock android experience

In CWM wipe data and cache and it should be some sort of factory reset.

Thats what the man said.

"Cleanest" way to upgrade?

What is the cleanest way to upgrade for Smoothest Rom? I've read its just cleaning cache and dalvic but for others I also read factory resetting makes it so its completely cleaned before upgrading?
So which way is the "cleanest" way to upgrade?
I just wiped both caches and then upgraded to smoothest 5.1. Is this gonna cause problems later?

Please help

Whenever I flash a new rom I always:
Wipe both caches and then Factory Reset
Then I flash the new ROM, it's always a safer bet too.

I do the same and it always works.

The absolute cleanest way to upgrade will always be to format system and data as well as cache before flashing. When you're just updating top a new version of the same ROM, though, that usually isn't necessary.
