I am going from Autonootered 1.1 to the latest nightly CM7 with Dalgrins Kernel using CWM
Please advise
1. Before installing CM7 what all should I wipe / format
2. After installing CM7 and kernel what all should I wipe/format
Also when I update to a newer nightly later
1. Before installing the newer nightly what all should I wipe / format
2. After installing newer nightly what all should I wipe/format
3. When updating to a newer nightly do I nned to install Dalgrins kernel again
Thanks very much
Anyone ? would appreciate some help
Whenever I try to install a new nightly I have to wipe everything. If I don't all the apps when I try to open them just flash real quick then close. I have titanium backup so its not very hard restoring sense I can just restore all apps + data which makes it a very painless process.
In the Nook General forum user eyeballer has an excellent step-by-step guide for installing CM7. Follow his directions and you will be fine. In general, you do not need to do a complete wipe of everything to install CM7 or to update between versions of CM7.
Guys I tried searching and only found this thread
which didn't help me at all
Can someone please explain when to do each of the following?
Reformat
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
I want to have the cleanest install, so do I do all?
Thanks
I will give thanks to all that help me clarify when to use what in what combination

If you look in my tips thread linked in my signature, I explain what you need to wipe in what situation. But I will explain just a little here.
Ordinarily if you are moving from just one nightly to another nightly of the same rom, just wipe dalvik cache.
If you are moving from one type of rom to another, it is best to do just a factory reset. A factory reset wipes /data, /cache and clears any apps you installed to SD. (And a factory reset automatically wipes dalvik cache since it is located in /data and /cache.)
Never wipe /boot and the new rom automatically wipes /system so you should not have to ordinarily wipe that.
But I have found if you are moving from a CM rom back to stock you need to do a full format with my format zip in my tips thread. It formats /system, /data and /cache completely where using CWM does not.

Wipe is the same as formatting.
Factory reset is listed in CWM as 'factory reset/wipe data'. And it is shown on the main menu. It does what I said earlier, it wipes /data, /cache and clears apps installed to SD.
Wipe dalvik is shown in CWM in the 'advanced' menu.
Those wipes or formats that are shown in CWM under 'mounts and storage' should rarely be used.

wow, thank you so much! you have been a great help
Quick off-topic question:
I have the rooted STOCK ROM and I deleted/edited some system files. Should I revert back to a nandroid back up with the system files in tact, or should I be ok to flash the new official rooted JB ROM (when it comes out) with some system files missing and/or renamed? thanks =)

If you are going to flash the new JB ROM over the top of stock, you do not have to do anything to the stock ROM first. It will be wiped entirely by the new JB ROM as it is installed. But I would do a factory reset/wipe data first as I said in my earlier post.

Oh ok, thanks! So, just to re-affirm, I don't have to revert back to a STOCK ROM with system files unedited in order to flash JB?
Before flashing JB rom, I will absolutely wipe data, cache, and dalvik prior to flashing! Thanks! :cyclops:

No, no, no. Are you not reading my posts? You do not wipe data, cache, and dalvik when you install a new ROM. Just do a 'factory reset/wipe data'. That wipes everything for you. The other wipes are redundant!
And to re-iterate, you have to do NOTHING to stock before flashing the JB ROM. Leave it exactly as is.

Can I pick your brain a little bit?
I had an odd thing happen to me......I rooted and went all delete-happy and deleted a bunch of stuff from system/app without making a nandroid backup...of course stuff stopped working properly, so I downloaded the stock rom rooted and flashed that (with wiping data, cache, and dalvik---even though wiping cache and davlik is unncessary as you explained), but those files I deleted were still missing
The only way I got them back was to do what is listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1904099) and start all over from a non rooted state
Any idea why? If I would have flashed the rooted stock ROM, wouldn't it have wiped my /system too?

You said you downloaded the 'stock rom rooted'. Where did you get that? Also as I explained in my tips thread, sometimes CWM does not wipe things as cleanly as it should. I cannot explain why. In those circumstances I flash my format zip from my tips thread. I suspect that that rom you said you downloaded that you said was rooted was not set up to format the /system.
Also that link you quoted does not work so I can't look at that page.

LOL, well I learned something here. If users start asking questions that do not quite jib with having a Nook Color, I had better ask more questions before I start spouting stuff. I am really glad I added assert statements to my zips to make sure the user is on a Nook Color before the flash will attempt to install. It could have been a real disaster for you if you had tried to flash my format partitions zip on your SGIII and it was allowed to install. I am going to make sure I have that assert statement in every zip I make, just to protect users.
But most of what I told you about CWM should apply to the SGIII version of CWM.

So wipe and format are the same?
Why do they have them listed separately in the first place in CWM if they do the same thing?

Hello. I tried doing the 5.0 update to my tablet using the factory images. It failed on sending /system and now the whole tablet isn't working. I loaded Philz, to wipe the whole tablet, and it errors mounting /data and /system when attempting to wipe. I have tried wiping everything in every way, and nothing. I cannot get anything to flash on the tablet. Any help?

Ya man, its the same with me . Hope someone, reply's with a solution for it.
Maybe try with latrst version of twrp instead of Philz.
Flash TWRP
Wipe
Advanced wipe
Select system
Repair or change file system
Repair
Let it do its thing, then flash your ROM.
Send your thanks to @Paramesh96. He gave me this advice on my thread. Still haven't been able to flash factory images. But I can get my tablet up & running again with this guide
I could do this, but I have no way of moving a zip file to the tablet.

I flashed TWRP, went through the process, rebooted to bootloader, reflashed TWRP, reboot to recovery & mtp was enabled to access the sdcard
Hi,
I set up TWRP 2.8.7.0 and cm-13.0-20160129 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506), and run into an odd problem where it would work after install, but would not work after a reboot (booting screen would just roll for ever). Installing CM again, would work, and than the problem would still be there. Mindlessly I decided to play a little anyway and set up encryption. The phone ended up rebooting, and not loading, so I'm here without a password (default_password doesent work) and with an encrypted /data that TWRP cant wipe or format
Unable to mount storage.
Unable to decrypt data
Unable to wipe '/data' -- unknown file system 'auto'
Unable to format to remove encryption

I've attempted to use ADB to format it, but it seems parted isnt installed. With that phone being a less popular variant I'm kind of afraid to just flash whatever there, but I guess I need a recovery with a least parted, or possibly one that would be able to format the drive itself. Any pointers?
Have you tried flashing a stock ROM via Odin? Is this your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9506/ ?
not yet; I don't have windows, and didn't see any point in changing the soft used for flashing, will try but cant download the polish rom at the moment o0 (ends up with a dead link or a server down?)
I know of no other way to flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com other than Odin.
Did you create a free account on sammobile.com to enable the regular download?

You can also flash it with Heimdall. It's the open source variant of Odin.
aaaand I'm back, managed to download, got some windows, flashed to stock using odin, and it's still encrypted. is running 'repartition' from odin safe? I've noticed some warnings against it but without any explanations.
edit; running the same operation with repartition failed. this bloody encryption might be able to survive nuclear war.
After flashing back to stock via Odin, did you perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time?
I assume you have a pit file for the phone since you repartitioned?

never managed to do that. I wonder what advantage does the wipe from factory ROM have over custom recoveries... anyways thanks to all who helped, the issue is solved. also it seems that the problems with non-rebooting CM were my mistake of not wiping the cache/dalvik after install
I find that a wipe using a custom recovery is not always as through as a stock recovery. Can't say how or why, it's just based on my experience with Samsung and Nexus phones.

I think the difference is that a custom recovery only wipes /data partition so that the internal sdcard will not be wiped. The stock recovery formats /data partition. When you want to lose encryption you need to format /data partition.
You can also format the /data partition with a custom recovery, but that option is hidden for good reason. Because it will also format your internal sdcard and that's not something we want to do when changing roms.
Hey, so I rooted my Galaxy S7 edge exynos, and everything was great. However, when I boot into recovery, TWRP can't do anything. It can't backup, install images, nothing. It says my memory is 0mb, and if I try to backup it says "cannot mount /data and unable to find crypto footer". I can restart my phone to system and everything works perfectly. Is there a way to fix this? I'm using latest version of TWRP (3.0.2)
Thanks guys!

FORMAT DATA, it's explicitly stated in the instructions. You must format data to wipe encryption.

You only do this once, use flashfire or titanium backup to backup your stuff.
did you flash this after TWRP?
"If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP."
https://idlekernel.com/fun-stuff-trust-me/no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip
same here !:<
Same problem a few days ago. Caused by secure startup or encrypt device obviously lol. Only fix for read/write on data/internal storage is factory reset in stock recovery. Unfortunately this was the only fix for my fussy G935F.
TWRP couldn't mount data to wipe anyway I tried and the only way to flash was through selecting extSD.

I find a solution, just go in wipe and format data , it will removes encryption on internal storage. if not works try a factory reset in stock recovery them try again, S7 is encrypted out of the box and Twrp can't read or mount data. Works for me in G935F.
how long does it take to format? i chose exfat and it's taking ages... am i doing something wrong?

i unlocked a nexus 5 and got the same problem, formatted data, all seems good now
is there a way to save my data? my phone is oneplusone
if you use twrp to flash xposed, it'll still work. But your data is still encrypted.
Should I do anything else after the Formating data (install TWRP again, root again...)?
I remember that I did format data in my last phone and it completely deleted everything including OS, so now im little afraid.
Currently I can't do nothing in TWRP, not wipe and not backup...

Hi all,
I followed instruction on installing TWRP and also have root. I also installed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip file, but I still can't access internal SD. It says 0mb. Also after installing the zip it similar stated 'unable to mount'.
When I try to format data it can't mount it.
am i missing a step??
ideas?
Thanks in advance...
PS: not sure if this is relevant, but it keep coming up with the same flash screen message: "keep system read only?"
I tick the box says don't display this, and swipe to allow modifications, but get this message every time.

You have to format the data after you installed twrp. And then you can flash supersu and no verity opt thingie.
Thanks for the reply... It wont let me format it. 'says can not mount'
I'm having the same issue here. Although I can root, I cannot wipe data, so no way to install a custom ROM
I tried creating a system backup through TWRP just now for the first time ever. Throughout the process, it gave me multiple messages saying "unable to mount data" and the same for some other folders, and when the backup supposedly finished, it just said failed.
Is there anything I can try without actually wiping either of the partitions? This obviously because I'm trying to create a backup so I can wipe afterwards.

That's the TWRP version that I've got installed.
I just reinstalled both stock firmware and reflashed TWRP but the exact same issue persists. At first I was able to mount data though, I could flash zips such as Magisk etc. But after having set everything up again on my phone, I couldn't mount data anymore.

Maybe I wasn't very clear.
I flash the stock firmware, set that up to enable OEM unlock. Then flash TWRP, wipe /data, flash magisk and other required zips (at this point, data is mounted). I then set that all up however I want, install apps etc.
If I want to create a backup after all that, it doesn't work cause of the unable to mount /data and /storage.

Sounds like your device is still encrypted
Did you flash the no Verity encrypt zip file
Also I said to format data not wipe.
In the mount menu these are the options I have enabled.

You're right, I formatted data, not wipe.
I did flash the no verity zip, does the order in which I flash Magisk, no-verity and RMM state unlock matter?

The instructions I followed to install twrp
Flash twrp (which you have done)
Format data
When finished reboot back into twrp(use twrp reboot menu option)
Flash no-verity zip via twrp ( have to make sure you have it on internal storage or SD card)
Then flash everything else
Not sure if you need RMM state unlock if your bootloader(OEM) is already unlocked in developer options though.

Not sure if you need RMM state unlock if your bootloader(OEM) is already unlocked in developer options though.

I've just done everything you stated above, still the same issue, can't mount /data.
Really don't understand what it is that im doing wrong or if I'm even doing anything wrong..
Thanks for your help anyway though, appreciate it.

Just as matter of curiosity I use FX file explorer (root) in the menu filesystem it should tell you what format your data partition is mine or ext4. I have read that some people through twrp have changed it to something like ext3 and then back to ext4
Also this is the thread I used to install my twrp

I think that second thread you linked may have done the trick.
At first it didn't seem to help, but when I tried it again after reflashing everything, I am now able to mount /data.
I'm still in the dark as to why this happened and hasn't happened to anyone else other than the person who created that file, but either way, thank you very much for your help.

Maybe I wasn't very clear.
I flash the stock firmware, set that up to enable OEM unlock. Then flash TWRP, wipe /data, flash magisk and other required zips (at this point, data is mounted). I then set that all up however I want, install apps etc.
If I want to create a backup after all that, it doesn't work cause of the unable to mount /data and /storage.
