Factory reset - HTC Sensation

If I hit factory reset on a custom Rom will it unroot and freeze my phone up?

No it won't do either, it will wipe your information and pretty much everything that isn't on your sd card. Full wipes are generally required when switching from one Rom to another.

It usually depends if your changing from different ROMs or staying with the same chef. When changing between different chefs Roms, its always best to do a wipe. Their thread will tell you such. If your staying with the same chef, you only need to wipe if they say so. Usually it will be noted in the release notes.
Good rule of thumb, if you are in doubt, use titanium backup and wipe.

Why would you wipe dalvik after wiping /data? Dalvik is located in /data and will already have been wiped.

How do you do a full wipe like everything except the s d card I don't want it to have any remdrnts of anything is that what the Android revolution wipe would do.

Thanks for infotmation.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but just to clarify on the wiping. In order to transition from lets say an Android Revolution HD ROM to one of InsertCoins I would have to wipe the data and cache via Recovery or else a simple execution of Mike's Superwipe script would suffice?
Zz
data and cache wipe recommendet before flashing new roms.
if u wont that there could be some know issue problems - so dont cry ;-)
maybe u should take an nandbackup before flash.
tried wipe when i flashed 2 roms ... so far so good ...
no harm wiping ... and dun forget to backup before that

Question about rom and reset.

My question is I'm giving my rooted sensation to my wife, its running a custom rom when I do a reset to erase my stuff will that affect anything? Can I just do a factory reset and the phone will still have the same rom on it ( she wants to use the one that's on the phone now).

Hi,
Super wipe,then re-flash the ROM...

Elegancia Rom!

Who uses elegancia ?
I been using it for a week love it so far! It has a few glitches but its nice
How can I update the Rom? They release updates like every day!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Same was as you installed it, going from one Elegencia Rom to another doesnt require a wipe so just download it to your SD card, go into recovery and select instal ROM from SD card. I all ways back up my stuff using Rom Manager, Titanium backup and SMS backup.
So basically to update the Rom I have to reinstall it again?
That's a pain

All you do is clear cache and delvik and flash the zip in recovery. You retain all your data on an update.
Is it really that painful?

You don't need to reinstall it or wipe. Just install over your actual ROM and you won't lose your configuration.

ROM Update
Yeah, as long as it's not a bigger update, you can just install over the old ROM. If the Wipe should be required, it will be noted next in the Changelog.
If you need to do a full wipe, just take a backup of your apps and data. And you are good to go in 10 minutes.

I just did a back up of the Rom that's on my phone before I install a new one.anyways when it finished loading I went into the sd card section where you see all your roms and things that are on your sd card I couldn't find my Rom I backed up.Do I need to hit restore after I back it up or do I only restore it when I get ready to reinstall it. Please help...

Hi,
Your nandroid backups are stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups.
Go into recovery/backup and restore ,and press restore when you want to restore.
O.k. so once I backed it up I can now instal my new Rom/and then whenever I want to reinstall the old Rom I then just hot restore and it goes on my sd card then I can reinstall it?so now do I do a full wipe minus the sd card. Please explain.

Hi,
Yes.
Once you have backed up,you can run a SuperWipe,which cleans the phone and prepares it for a new ROM.
The sd card is untouched.
Thank you very much. Takecare!!!

Hey inorder for me to see my backed up roms I need to restore them first correct then they will be viewable in sd card and on file folder?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
no, restore is a option to restore device to previous state. Say you don't want the new rom you just installed,you can wipe then restore to your backup.

Hi,
Sounds good, if your are staying on ICS.
I just wipe data factory reset, wipe cash and dalvik, then install from zip. This its going from sense to Aokp. I never had a problem. It installed and ran perfectly. Hope this helps you. They're different ways but this is what I do. Then changing back I do the same. Never caused a problem.. Works perfectly for me.
