I accidentally wiped most of my data VIA CWM (Wipe Data/Factory Reset) after downgrading from CM 10.2 back to 10.1.
All of my apps and most of my data is gone and I need help recovering them.
I tried following this guide but I get stuck at 0B/s transfer speeds.

Hello,
I just want to ask whether I am wiping my phone correctly.
I'm using Amon Recovery image and then to Wipe and press option 1, 2, 3 which is Wipe data/factory reste, Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache ...
Is that enough to wipe or should I do something else before flashing?
I ask because on my 2.1 32b magic I have happened to have applications from previous flash and i did wipe correctly at least I think.
Thanks
Was just wanting to know that waht are the steps to be taken when changing a rom,
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
and do we even have to wipe DALVIKI cache???
do we have to do all the above three processes???
please help...
It's better to wipe the dalvik cache too.
Yes, and as a Precaution, I wipe /system too under "Advanced". BTW, if you are using a new version of Clockworkmod (3.0.2.4 or newer), it includes a "Wipe All (Dangerous)", which does all required for a fresh install, with just one click.
Hey guys,
Trying to wipe my phone and running into an issue. When I go through the process my internal SD card unmounts and the phone doesn't wipe. When I click it again I get a message saying "SD Card unmounted." Any idea fellas?
Any ideas guys? This is kind of urgent!
if you have a unlocked bootloader flash a fruitcake. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition & dalvik cache first in CWM recovery.
haven't modified the phone
Glinting settings and storage, you should be able to mount it in there. Try again afterwards.

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
My phone is rooted with the XtreStoLite ROM and I'd like to sell it since I've upgraded to a S6 Edge. I've been googling around for ways to wipe the phone before selling and am a bit confused. If I select all the options in TWRP (System, data, cache, boot, efs) and wipe those, will that also get rid of all my old nandroips and titanium backups?
Thanks for your help!
If you choose to wipe internal and external storage, factory reset, wipe SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE in TWRP (Basically choose everything in the advanced WIPE menu)
That should remove everything
Then use ODIN to flash a stock ROM back to the phone, and return it to factory setup
