Best wiping before flashing - EVO 4G General

I was wondering what is the best wiping utility before flashing over a new rom? I always use to use OSHAKA Super Wipe for my other phone, I tried it on this and it didn't work, don't know why. Maybe its meant for just that phone?
I was going to go from synergy, to CM7 2.3 because I am sick of not having memory.

VR Superwipe, look in threads created by virus, you'll find it... By the way, wrong section for a question, prepare for some thunder and lightning.... Lol

Guess I needed that laugh, I just sat and watched the whole video!
You have been THANKED!

The best wiping Utility is in your recovery, if you use Amon Ra. You don't NEED Super Wipe scripts.

Honestly in the hundreds of flashes that I have done, I have never used a wipe zip.
I prefer to do it by hand each item 2 to 3 times to ensure a good and through wipe.

I used to do it manually but now I just run a vr superwipe and then I just wipe the caches

I have used a few (Calkulin's and Viper's) but I prefer to manually wipe each partition in recovery as well. I used Amon Ra and never had any problems, now I use the updated one that drellisd (I think that's his name) wrote and I just manually wipe each partition once and never have any problems. I always wipe everything but recovery, wimax, and android.secure.

Get Rooted stock, Radio/WiMAX/PRI/NV/Hboot updates in ROM Manager

Alrighty everyone, I finished up a little project I've been working on for the past few days.
If you open up ROM Manager on your phone, go to the ROM list, and scroll down to the bottom, you'll find "EVO Stock and Radios". This new repository has a number of 100% stock, rooted ROMs as well as flashable ZIPs to upgrade your Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV, and Hboot (assuming you're S-OFF!). Hopefully this'll make things a bit easier for people just getting their EVO going and needing a hand upgrading their radios.

}
In addition, I created another repo just for the Google Apps add-on. From now on, if you or someone else forgets to flash the GApps, or just needs to upgrade for a new package, it's much easier! And once the ROM Manager manifest on koush's page updates, this *should* include Froyo/CM6 GApps as well! Nifty, eh?
Enjoy!
This is the epitome of awesome. Nice work man.
Pretty useful exactly what i needed
Thank you, Dr.

Awesome work! You should put this in the develpment section of xda.... in my opinion this is big news! A lot of people use ROM Manager and this is a nice addition...... way over due!
If anyone wants to point me to a source to get flashable PRL updates, or a tutorial on how to make them, please let me know so I can add them to the list...

You need to make sure that you follow the directions completely. You're probably getting bootloops because you're not wiping data. You need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
For a rom with everything working, I'd suggest Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo or Sprint Lovers. You can flash something else afterwards, but try one of those first to get the hang of it. If there's a different rom that catches your eye, you can flash that - those are just my close to stock suggestions.

Is wipe 100% necessary? I would hate to have to reset everything up on my phone again. Possible to just flash like update.zip?

FYI, I decided to experiment a little bit. Did a clockwork backup before just in case. I didn't wipe at all, just flashed and everything is working fine.
So I repeat, full wipe isn't necessary as long as you are coming from a previous stock ROM. Although I would recommend a dalvik cache wipe since it wont erase anything, just basically refreshes the temp cache.

you all realize the best part, right?
it was this time last year that froyo reached a few people. then, it was reportedly "delayed" because it needed bugs to be worked out...and then the rest of us didn't get froyo until the first and second weeks of september lol...was a very frustrating few months back then!
then again, froyo ruined my inc anyway, and there was awful typing lag after my update, so i'd never trust an OTA again lol; gotta love rooting!
hahaha oh man and to think I was going to unroot my phone to wait for the OTA this week.
I have to say, this forum is awesome! I was pretty scared to flash the leaked 2.3.4 posted by Joel earlier this morning but with a few helpful posts I banged it out in no time. Thanks XDA!

If I root my phone and install the leaked version do I need to do a full wipe or just dalvik cache.

Yes!
(Sorry.... just couldn't resist...)
Really, I would re-root and regain some control over the phone.
As far as the full wipe vs. clear dalvik cache, some have had acceptable results just clearing the cache. Others have had to go the full wipe route.
If you are so inclined, you could try just clearing the dalvik cache. If you encounter issues, take the full wipe approach.

i suggest you to do a complete clean reinstall.
And you should follow the guide in the Sense like miui thread.
There are some instructions for first boot.

yup, i wipe date, wipe cache, wipe dalviz, wipe battery status, then jst flaash my rom, and everything following the thread, this not the only rom will force close for me, maybe is hardware problem? but i think morstly problem of software, how can i fixed it?
To make sure it's a hardware problem, flash another rom and if it's forces closes, too, it could be hardware.

Hmmm if you try a complete new rom maybe one without sense or with sense it could be working but I can't promise.
Or you do a complete reflash.. Task 29, new magldr and cwm..
