I've heard peeps talk about doing a super wipe b4 flashing roms. How is this done?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
You would just flash the super wipe zip file in recovery mode before you flash the rom
Superwipe is a script in a .zip container. This script will erase and format your data, system and cache partition. Flash as a rom.

I've never been fully clear as to how Super Wipe is preferable to the similar option in ClockworkMod Recovery. Is it that much more thorough? Does it wipe important areas that aren't covered by the recovery menu option?
I believe cwm wipes data and system partition, and you can separately wipe the cache partition.
This Superwipe will erase and format your data, system and cache partition.
So i think it's more thorough.
thanks for the explanation

Hi
I just bought my first android phone which is a Google Nexus S, and I guess flashing/installing (I never know which is the correct term to describe this action!) a kernel from XDA can give better performance or some extra features, e.g. BLN
However, I don't seem to be able to find a complete tutorial of how to flash/install a kernel, can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks in advance
First you need root.
Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik cache maybe twice.
Then find the kernal in your SD and install
Reboot

Wiping cache does not delete your data.
Unlocking the bootloader to get a custom recovery will wipe everything.

so in this case, flashing a kernel will NOT delete my data, correct? since I don need custom recovery, and I have already rooted
U dont need to wipe cache. Simply wipe delvik cash then flash your kernel on your sensation.

You don't have a custom recovery? I suppose you could use Flash Image GUI but you're really gonna wanna get a custom recovery. Especially since you want to make a backup before you flash in case something goes awry.
*if you didn't wipe /system and /boot it is NOT A FULL WIPE*
Doesnt matter just wipe dalvik cache and ur good. Through custom recovery

clockwork recovery is the base for flashing anything.

use this guide to install CWM(See Part 3 of the Guide)
once done just wipe dalvik cache in CWM and flash any kernel .zip file
you dont need to wipe dalvik cache, cache, or anything else. as these dont have anything to do with the kernel. you can flash kernels via recovery(in .zip form), or with fastboot/terminal emulator(in boot.img form).
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!

IF you have done a full wipe then you will have to flash again the rom....you have no information in your device....

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?

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

yeah, or you can simply hold down the power button and reboot bootloader from the power menu, if your ROM has it (your on CleanROM so it does )

Hey guys,
I'm going to flash a custom rom for the first time. I read, that doing a full wipe or running the super wipe script will erase the recovery partition.
My question is, for what this partition is needed? Maybe for a hard reset?
Will this partition be "refilled", if a ruu will be flashed?
Thank you in advance

No recovery partition won't be touched
Any custom rom/mod/kernel you want
To install you do it from recovery (typical custom recovery like cwm/4EXT/TWRP) . And to have a custom recovery you need recovery partition.
And yes by flashing ruu .. The recovery partition will be filled with stock recovery.

You basically perform a full wipe from therecovery itself. This means that it won't touch anything in recovery.
