Internal Memory full?

Hi all, I just flashed CM7 using the newest clockwork mod recovery. Now it says my internal memory is full. I havnt deleted anything internally since I got the phone. What is the best way to format that memory and reinstall a fresh copy of CM7?

Go to recovery......in recovery go wipe cache, factory reset/data, go to mounts/storage and format system, data, cache....go to advance and delete dalvik cache..... then just install zip from sd, choose zip, flash taht **** and reboot your phone

Awesome!! thanks bud!

I don't mess with CWM wiping partitions anymore, I wrote a flashable script for that - a long time ago there was an issue with that on CWM 4.0.0.8
A member has confirmed that A01 wipe will be okay if you turn off and have no ROM installed, you will still be able to get to CWM and flash whatever you want.
A01 wipe will format /cache, /data and /system
B01 wipe will format /cache and /data
Use as needed.
I keep a backup memory card with my phone at all times that has A01 wipe, B01 wipe, and my original CWM backup of my stock system on it, in case I ever need to go back to stock if something goes wrong.
Attached are the scripts, just throw these on your sdcard and flash like normal in CWM if you need to, before installing a ROM or patch if needed.

hey Blue just outta curiosity has anyone confirmed having issues with wiping through CWM with the new recovery or has the issue carried over from the 4.0.0.8/9?

I'm pretty sure I don't remember anyone having issues directly with cwm 4.0.0.9, and it was only a problem with 4.0.0.8 - even then not everyone experienced it.
I haven't tried the new recovery available yet, I meant to get to it this weekend, but it doesn't look like i'll get a chance to fit it in my schedule. I haven't seen my lady in just over a week, so spending the weekend with her.
Hopefully over the next week i'll get a chance to bring myself up to speed with it, I don't expect to go back to 4.0.0.9 once I move up to the new CWM recovery.

[Q] Full wipe with dalvik cache etc. on Stock Rom

Hi,
if the upgrade to ICS is available i want to do a full wipe with factory reset before.
How is the best way and in which order is best to do a full system cleansing with stock rom 2.3.6 installed.
First deletion of SD Card an than over the recovery menu resetting the rest?

I'm no expert but why would you delete the sdcard?
Root, install CWM recovery via rom manager. Select if you have 4g or not.
load rom onto root of the sdcard
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
If you want to install a custom kernel instead of the one that comes with your rom of choice
After you flash the rom
Go back and rewipe dalvik
Then flash kernel
Reboot and enjoy

There's no point in wiping the dalvik twice, and instead of wiping the dalvik in CWM I'd use dalvik-wiper.zip by Morfic. Flashable zip, and it actually wipes the dalvik.
The rest is all good to the best of my knowledge.

Full wipe with GB stock rom before upgrade to ICS
Hi,
@polobunny
on the SD memory are two folders named .android_secure and Android where Android specific things are stored in. I have read that for a new and clean system build up would be good to delete this folders before.
@sookieball
I have only the normal stock rom 2.3.6 with stock recovery (no CWM) and want to stay there.
So then I think the best way is to go over the menu and do a reset to the factory settings. Delete the to folders on the SD memory manually and afterwards I will go into the recovery menu and delete the dalvik cache and then apply the ICS update.
Why i want to to this? I have at the moment a lot of useless Apps installed and i want to refresh all and start with a clean system with upgrading to ICS. Thats all.

Wherever you read that you should stop reading there.

[Q] Is there a complete stock AT&T Rom for 2.3.6?

Thanks,

So I would just boot into CWM recovery and then install the zip?

1. Nandroid your current setup (so you get back to where you are now)
2. put all the zips you plan to flash on your sdcard
3. reboot to CWM Recovery
4. flash new modem (if you're planning on changing your modem)
5. wipe data / factory reset
6. wipe /cache partition
7. under "Mounts and Storage", Format /system
8. under "Advanced", wipe Dalvic Cache
9. flash rom zip
10. flash kernel zip (if not in rom above)
11. reboot
read through the DEV section under [ROM].. and read the OP (post 1)... each DEV gives recommended steps for flashing zip (CWM) or flashing tars (ODIN). You may also want to use Darkside Superwipe to ensure you clear all previous rom traces prior to flashing new rom.

[Q] Can i flash this rom over my previous?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678485
sorry guys, i am using cm7.1.0 kernel version [email protected]#1
can i put this in my folder and just flash it and gapps using cwm? or do i need to flash a different kernel?
sorry this is my 2nd time switching through between rom, just experimented switching to miui using cwm and now wanna try those in xda.
Thanks for commenting.

Go to Recovery.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM.
Wipe All partitions - system, boot, data ,cache, dalvik cache {except your SD card}.
Install Zip from SD card & navigate to your ROM from your SD card.
Flash G Apps attached in the OP of the ROM.
Reboot

[Q] HTC Explorer Booting Issue

I am having a HTC Explorer... I have unlocked the bootloader and have rooted my phone. I have CWM Recovery installed.. I treid installing custom ROM, but after installing once I reboot, it keeps showing the custom ROM's animated loading screen and never proceeds forward. I have tried 4 different custom ROM's and also tried to install Stock ROM but same happens.
During installation I don't get any sort of error. But once I reboot the phone it is stuck on the loading animation. I have already tried formatting data, clearing partition cache and clearing dalvik cache...
Can any one help regarding this issue.. ?
P.S: I don't have any backup..I know I should have backed up...but still...

Firstly specify which which roms you tried which recovery you are using.
Well to say..
If you are using sense based Roms.. Then ext partition is needed.. Which can be done in recovery- Advanced- Partition sd card..
Partitioning sd card will format your card so take a backup of it
If you are using sense based roms then use recovery which mounts ext Like TWRP or Philz or CWM Latest one..
If not a sense based rom:
1. Go to recovery
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Advanced -> Wipe dalvich cache.
5. Mounts and storage -> format /boot, /cache, /system , /sd-ext(if present).
6. Dont format anything else.
7. Install zip -> flash the rom.
8. Reboot
If you are still facing problem PM me..
