Sorry for the noob question but 1.6 was giving me a black screen and i looked up on that board someone said that it happened to them too. the way the resolved the issue was by flashing to 1.5(which I did and it worked) then they updated to 1.6
So how do i do that? Do I just flash to 1.6 after 1.5? do i rename it update.zip and update that way?any help would be appreciated. thank you.
I had that problem as well. was on 1.4 then to 1.6 so make sure you Factory wipe/reset and then wipe wipe wipe (cache partiotion and dalvik (3x). make sure zip is on your sdcard and go into recovery and install that way. also make sure you fix permissions and wipe battery stats EVERYTIME you install a new rom. and you should know to back-up before doing any of this.

Don't do that, when updating a ROM, just install the zip in the root of your SD card, wipe dalvik cache and flash the new ROM version on top. No need to wipe data

I am trying to install 2.5.4test4 kernel. Is there anything special I need to do like I did for the root and rom installation??
Nothing special, just boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, flash from zip and select the kernel zip on your SD card!
thankkk youuuu
I usually wipe just the dalvik cache under the advanced setting in cmw too. Seems to cut down on the bugs I run into.

It's common sense, but make sure you do a nandroid backup before you flash anything.
+1 on the backup and wipe. You dont have to clear data.
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.
quick question, im new to rooting the transforner and i just want to know, when i wipe to install prime will it erase my music that is on the internal storage? If so, is there a different way to wipe to keep certain files? Cause i also have my titanium backup files on internal as well, thanks in advance.
First of all, your title made me laugh for a good 1 minute. Somehow, "question about wiping" just doesn't sound very technical and sound more like it has something to do with our bodily functions.
No, "wiping" cache and data will not touch your files. Android is different than windows. Windows OS has 1 big partition where everything is in there. Android has 12 partitions, each one has it's own purpose. When you wipe the data partition, what you're really wiping is app data partition. There is also a user data partition where all your files are kept. Unless you do a format of your sdcard in the advance menu, all your user files are safe.
So, before you install a custom rom, make sure you wipe cache and data/factory reset. Also wipe dalvik cache. Trust me, all your porn files will still be there waiting for you.
Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor.
Lol, thanks buddy. Ive never had an android device with an internal sdcard so i was a little concerned. Thanks again.

I was wondering, is a data/factory wipe always necessary? When I flashed Revolver 3.9.3 for the 1ste time from stock rom, I did a data/factory wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe in CWM. When updating this Revolver rom to 3.9.5 using zip-file, I only wipe cache and dalvik cache. On my Moto I wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after the zip update when updating a custom rom, but I'm not sure if the latter is necessary. I guess a data/factory wipe is only necessary when flashing a new base rom?
wiping is usually recommended as sometimes if you install with out wiping it will cause weird problems :/
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.
Is it correct that you wipe all partitions except sd card and dalvik & cache before you install a new Rom.and after the Rom is installed do you wipe the dalvik & cache again one more time.If you do wouldn't wiping the dalvik & cache after your new Rom is installed erase,remove the new Rom that you just installed.Is it alright to just wipe the partitions except the sd card before installing a sense Rom over a sense Rom or vice-versa going from a sense to a nonsense Rom and or nonsense to a sense Rom. Thanks...

Hi,
If you want a clean install ,then it is correct to wipe all the partitions except the sd card.
A simpler way is to use a SuperWipe zip.
This does it all for you.
You only need to do it once,before installation of the ROM.
When I change Roms, Iwipe cash, then wipe dalvik cash, then I wipe data factory reset, then install zip from SD , reboot, and I'm finished. I don't format all partitions except sd. Maybe I should be doing that. I only wipe BEFORE installation and not after. It's been working for me I've never had a problem yet thank God! Usually I pay attention to what the developer says to do on the Rom site. Each Rom has specific flashing instructions. If the Developer asks to format partitioning of sd card I would do it because every Rom is different.
I just have not came across those instructions yet. I suppose everyone does things a little differently also. This is just the way I do it. Others might do it differently. I have not had any problems yet and I flash a lot! Just follow recommended instructions and you will be fine. Best wishes. Happy flashing !

Check your rom thread before using superwipe as it causes issues with some builds. An alrernative is to wipe user data/factory reset, then wipe both caches using 4ext recovery.
