Okay, I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question but....I never really understood what a full wipe is...Is it where you wipe data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache? Or one of those 3 or 2 of them?
Full wipe = factory reset.
Your personal data will be wiped out.
So do I need to wipe the cache partition as well or just factory reset?

Just want to make sure what it means of a full wipe. Does it mean wiping data,cache and dalvik ? And does this erase the applications ? Specially if your updating from a older rom ver. To a new one. Sorry for my noobness and thanks for the info in advance.

Full mean everything cache, dalvik cache, data, and even system this will delete all your personal apps. Do this when going to different roms (cm7 to miui, or froyo to gb) when updating the same rom its not really necessary, but you can wipe cache and dalvik cache (wipe these two when flashing kernels) just to be safe, dalvik and cache wiping will not delete your personal apps.

Follow fcisco13's advice. If you wipe data/factory reset from clockworkmod it will wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache all at the same time. So just do that and then format /system and you'll minimize issues.
As said above, if you're only updating to a newer version of the same rom, or to a new kernel, then just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Also a good idea after flashing something new or updating before restarting always (fix permissions)
This will prevent most fc's...

Hmmm ... during the initial setup of Android are you selecting to let Google backup/restore your apps and settings? If so then your phone will automatically download and restore apps and setting that were backed up to Google's servers from your previous installation.

My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace.
1. If a phone is running stock ROM and unrooted, how can I wipe the dalvik cache?
Does the 'wipe cache partition' in recovery refer to the Dalvik cache? Does it
clean the Dalvik cache?
2. Are there other caches in my phone that needs 'cleaning' or is Dalvik the only cache in there?
Thank you!
Well, I'm not sure, but I think that you need root access to can clean dalvik
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Why do you need to clear the cache? I think you need a custom recovery and maybe root also. I could be wrong.

Dalvik cache is in advanced menu, in recovery. Maybe you need root, dont know since i first rooted

There are basically 2 different caches that should be wiped when you are flashing between ROM's (or experiencing issues), the cache and the Dalvik cache. They are accessed from your recovery method (you need root) and depending which one you are using they are accessed differently, the 2 most famous (imo) are clockword and AmonRa. Now, if you are not rooted then the only way to clear your cache is by factory resetting your phone (which will erase everything). I know this clears your data and settings but not sure if it clears all the caches...

HTC Flyer: Rooted with S-off, with Revolutionary CMW 4.0.1.4
At the first attempt, I flashed the SU.zip and got the tablet working. But then i decided to flash the Leedroid rom.
Within revolutionary, i wipe the data/cache/davche and then flash the new leedroid rom. There are no issues on flashing the rom and it was successful, however when i reboot.... it is stuck on the HTC logo screen. After 20-30 minutes, the tablet just shuts itself off.
Due to this, i decided the wipe again and install a different rom (CoolHoney3D) however same issue. Then i decided to go back to original SU.zip and that is not working now as it has the same issue.
I downloaded the recovery image for the HTC flyer and try to install it with Scottsrom. No LUCK
I believe i am missing a step in the whole process. please let me know what the problem is. I read all the tutorial to do the recovery but i am a noob and couldnt figure it out. sorry for my bad english..
Thanks!

I did 3 types of wipe (System/Cache/Dache Cache) then installed the roms again. It said the Rom installed correctly but still got stuck at the HTC screen. Like i said, i installed the original su.zip again and that doesnt work anymore
Another question, do I have to install su.zip first before installing the leedroid rom?
This is what I do when I flash a Rom
Wipe dalvick cache

I will try that. Should I.....
1. Flash the SU.zip rom first
2. Flash the CoolHoney3D rom
3. Wipe Dalvik cache
4. Reboot
or skip the su.zip rom

Skip the "su.zip". So just flash the "CoolHoney3D" rom, wipe the dalvik cache, then reboot. You could format all partition before flashing the rom if you haven't already done so. In other words:
- Format partitions
- Flash the rom
- Wipe the dalvik cache
- Reboot

Yes. You should always wipe.
In order.
factory reset,
format cache,
Advanced --> wipe dalvick cache,
Mounts and storage --> format system
Than flash your goodies!

It is always best to wipe everything. Especially when you change Roms. If you are on a cm rom and you are just upgrading to the newest version you can just wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, & reboot. I have done it this way for years & haven't had any problems. Most people prefer to wipe everything though.
TY so much

If you do all the passages you will have more chances to have a full working device
Sent from my Optimus 2X with Paranoid Android. Thanks button is here ↓ !!! Just use it
If it's your first rom, or if you're flashing an entirely new rom, do a full wipe. Otherwise, you can get away with just wiping cache and dalvik.
100% correct

ya iv had it happen to me a few times and to wipe all of them is usually the way to go, you can use titanium backup if you just want to keep your app just if you've upgraded to a new rom like going to jb from ics then do a restore and uncheck all system settings you only want your apps and their data back, if it forces closes just reboot in recovery and wipe the delvik cache and it should fix it up
i already have a custom rom, which wipes do i need for updating? factory, cache and dalvik or no need to wipe anything?
Cache and dalvik most likely, unless its full of big changes you need factory reset
