Hello all. Noob.
REFUSE V1.7 Installation instructions [LINK] states
"If you are coming from another ROM, manually wipe data and cache via CWM before installing."
Can anyone please explain this to me?
I am coming from a different ROM (Infused), and I cracking my skull here trying to understand what is CWM and how to get there and how to wipe the cache and data
Thanks!
In CWM scroll to wipedata/factory. N then wipe particions. N there you go.

If you install rom from sd card (its an option on rom manager) you'll get options to wipe data and what not.

My phone has been completely f'ed all day. So far ive restored 2 times. Ive tried to start all over by downloading infused than installing gb rom (the order in which i did it the first time) but when i go to the gtg section i get a pop up saying contact dev. I than used the roms from my sd card. I flashed infused 1.x.x, it flashed fine but all of atts crap apps were still there. Next i removed voodoo folder and flashed gb rom, that flashed fine, seemed anyway. When my phone rebooted i thought it was all set besides the fact i had no notification pull down and no status tools up top, att apps still present. I did the updated gb non rainbows update when it came out but that wasnt what i just flashed and i have no idea where its at. Im lost and pissed.

Gtg took the links down because people were *****ing about network speeds. So he's trying to fix it. Should be up tomorrow

This is one reason I don't use ROM Manager - I keep multiple backups of anything that might be important.
Cool, as far as my other issues go with flashing, should i download new roms when the link is up? Not sure why the ones on my sd are so messed up

I just read a post a few pages back.on the dev section where someone had a similar issue. But no i didnt, i never had the option. I booted into recovery and selected rom from my sd card, it did its deal than i selected reboot. Other times ive flashed i recieved a pop up asking if i want to wipe data and such, i didnt get that message.

Nash if u boot in to recovery it doesnt prompt u to wipe dalvik and cache you have to volume rocker down to them wipe both then install the rom. If you download from romanager you get promted and the option to wipe!
hope this helps

It would have helped if I still had roms on my sdcard. After using the unbrick tool a few other things wernt working (app download and gtalk) so I made myself do a system restore...lost everything. Now I'm at the mercy of the devs. Can't wait for the links to be up.

There is a link for an experimental version in the thread search for it.
When I try to open cyanogenmod settings or the browser it just forces close. I'm running on nscollab 1.0.60 with Trinity kernel!

Try installing setcpu and seeing if that fixes it.
Just install it no need to open it.

Have you tried a fresh install? Always works ;-)

What do you mean by a fresh install?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
A fresh install means wiping the dalvik cache and factory resetting the phone in recovery mode before flashing the rom. Best use titanium back up if you want to keep your apps

Like he said. Just go into recovery. And do all that and flash CM again.

Do you remember doing anything to your phone before the fcs started?

If it always has been like this, you've most likely corrupted the ROM file during download.
Download it again and install it after doing a factory reset & caches wipe.

If I have cm7 on my phone. And I flash a cm7 based rom do I have to do a full wipe?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Read the op for the ROM you are flashing. It will tell you what is recommended. You can always try to flash it without wiping and if doesn't work right, do a full wipe and flash again.

Reboot into clockworkmod and wipe cache and reboot and it should fix your problem.

Fix permissions? That's weird. Do you flash other stuff?
No only flashed this rom and the gapps
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I had the same issue. I went in to cwm, cleared davik/cache, and fixed permissions. When I rebooted I was back in business.
Tried all of these and the home button still is not working back button works but is a pain to keep pressing it to leave an app
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I'm using the same rom, 2.4. Home button is working same with all of the others, did the standard flash and threw gapps, old bb patch on. Wipe your cache, dav cache, and factory wipe it then put rom on, install patches/gapps and do file permissions. I'm using a Wind p999 if it matters.
Got it to work thanks for the help.

you should wipe everything before flashing a new rom
read the instruction
Don't forget to hit THANKS button
[Q][URGENT]Is This Fixable?
Every time after that time I wiped everything but I forgot once. Would forgetting to wipe everything cause something like the issue I'm having? And if so is it fixable?

Did you flashed a completely other Rom? Or only an"update" of your Rom?
If you only "updated" your rom:
Boot into recovery
wipe Cache Partition
and Wipe Dalvic Cache (under "Advanced")
Reboot
This won´t delete any User Data
New ROM :-[

believe if you have cwm recovery format system and also wipe cache/dalvic then reflash rom
