[Q] CM9 fresh install and boot animation

Hi
I'm running CM9 on my Nook I have 4-8 nightly installed. If I wanted to do a clean install (delete everything) in recovery do I just need to select wipe date/factory reset? Or do I go to Mounts and Storage and format specific mounts? Will I need to reinstall from an SD card or will clockworkmod recovery still be on the nook?
Also in older versions of CM9 under performance you could disable boot animation I no longer have that option. Is there another way to disable the boot animation?

To turn off boot animation, go to /data/property and create a text file named persist.sys.nobootanimation and put the value 1 in it. Set the permissions to match the permissions of the other files there.
A factory reset is all you need to do. That wipes data, cache, and any installed apps on SD. System gets wiped when you install the new ROM.
If you had CWM recovery on emmc already, it will still be there.

Stuck on Splash Screen

I had the custom firmware Taboonay 2.2 and decided i wanted to upgrade.
I downloaded it, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, then flashed HC3.2.1 ROOTED-CWM-A500_7.014.02_com_gen2 FULL.
The device would not boot past the Acer screen
Shut off the device and then held down the volume button as i held the power button to get into recovery. My original Taboonay 2.2 file was still on The sd card. Wiped the same things as before then flashed Taboonay 2.2
The device still won't boot past the Acer screen
What else can I try?

Uhmmmm.... try following the install instructions.
1. In CWM Recovery,
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe/Format System
5. Wipe Dalvak Cache
6. Wipe/Format Flexrom
(note, depending on which version of CWM you have, the "wipe" command may say "format" which is usually located in "Mounts and Storage")
Then install your zip
RTI the next time.

Find 5 factory reset

Is it safe to use factory reset on Costum ROM?
Im thinking to use it when i make mess in my device storage or is there any other method to wipe my device storage to start as new for ROMs and other things?
I found this on web.
Is this how i should do it?
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe the cache partition
3. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik and batt stats.
4. Go back to mounts and storage and format system, then data, then cache.
5. Go back and install the rom zip file from the sd card.
6. Reboot.

Not necessary to wipe battery stats or Format system. Download new ROM- boot to recovery- wipe data/factory reset- wipe cache- wipe dalvik- reboot.
Formatting the system may cause you to lose important files or even backups

[Q] is my galaxy s4 soft bricked or hard bricked? can I fix it? help please

so I tried to install a custom "rom negalite-s4-r41" I installed it all fine, when I was at boot screen it keeps repeating boot screen. I tried to wipe data/cache. It didn't do anything. it says my sd card is not mounted and when I try to mount it, it just says error. I can boot into download and I plan to try to install a stock non rooted everything with odin. I can boot into system recovery, but the ittle droid falls over with the red exclamation point. I can choose the follow options "Reboot system, Apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from cache" I have tried reboot system just repeats reboot like I said, I have no clue what ADB is, apply update from external storage says it fails to mount sd, I have wiped data/factory reset, I did do the cache partition, my update from cache is all empty. Please help, I'm sitting in panera bread off their wifi because i have no internet at my house, this really sucks.

You are soft bricked. Odin to a stock ROM. Then re root.

I had a similar situation. I was able to Odin crawrj's Stock/Rooted/Deodexed/Stock Recovery ROM. Factory reset from stock recovery after you Odin the ROM.

[Q] Can't upgrade JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf

Hi, my Defy (Green Camera) is stuck on JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf - strange chineese Eclair ROM - screenshot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27590063&postcount=4.
I installed it after my battery died during updating Cyanogen to newer version - I panicked a bit and needed working phone asap, so I used mcGyver hack and flashed it with RSD Lite as I found in some guide.
Now I want to install any better system on top of it (it's real crap - all google apps crashes immediately for example) Cyanogen 10+ would be best.
There are some similar threads, but they wanted to downgrade system, not upgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143 - I didn't tried it yet as download pages
looks suspicious. //edit: downloading it, but it's really slow.

What I tried to do so far is:
I. Rooting phone with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse
II. Installing SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk
III. One of following:
a)
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash cm-10-20131030-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
6) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again
7) Restart.
It didn't boot in 10 minutes (Motorola logo) so I flashed sbf again and returned to I.
b)
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash froyo kernel
5) Flash CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again
8) Restart.

7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart

I also tried some other Quarx builds, some times with gapps and RLRv2.16_base.zip but I don't remember details.
Any ideas what can I do? Now i'm trying downloading various roms and trying to install them with recovery.
EDIT:
Now I have DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf which works, but I cant root it - zerg rush fails

Well.. After I flash something I don't wipe cache and dalvik , this maybe should be the problem..Before I install something I do a data/factory reset , wipe cache , and then wipe dalvik. You should try after you install something don't wipe cache and dalvik..

OK, i fixed it.
With DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956 i got root, after that i installed SndInitDefy_2.3.apk and was able to flash CM10.
