Full wipe. It does everything for you and makes life a lot easier
Although it deletes your files in Android folder on SD card, so be careful with that...if you're using the fullwipe zip by Mike.
Use 4 EXT recovery.
Wipe all partitions (Except the SD Card) <- That is a single click option on the wipe menu. You don't have to wipe 5 different things.
Do a full wipe anytime you are switching ROMs, whether it's Sense to non sense or sense to diffrent sense or non sense to a different non sense. If the name of the ROM is different (And often, even when its' the same) do a full wipe.
Use Titanium backup to save all your user data from your apps first.
Does it matter if I download my roms before or after I wipe all partitians except SD card?I just don't want to download roms onto my phone by my phone and then accidentally erase the new downloaded roms off of my phone.Do I wipe all partitions except SD card then download new roms?

which one u recommend:
Android Revolution HD or Ledroid?
Virtuous. It has an advanced pull down menu and Wi-Fi calling. But if it I must choose between those two I'd say LeeDroid. Used it for a bit before switching to Virtuous because I really needed those extra options in the pull down.
Virtuous is avaiable for HTC sensation?
+1 for virtuous. I'm running v1.0.1 and its very fast and stable. Can oc up to 1.8 ghz but its really unnecessary because this rom us perfectly smooth.

anyone else? can compare what have and dont have...
one more question, when u do FUll WIPE it will erase everything. now if we want to restore new rom we must turn on the phone and than put the .zip to the sd card than bot again and restore so my question is is there any method to do full wipe without removing .zip rom!?

Your SD Card doesn't need to be partitioned for a Sensation. But a wipe doesn't format your partition unless you specifically select it.
I am trying to flash Carbon 1.6 onto my Verizon GS3 but don't really know how and would prefer not to soft brick...again. I am backed up, rooted with unlocked bootloader. How do I go about flashing the ROM (Carbon or any others)? I have CWM touch recovery installed.

If you've done a nandroid in recovery, just download the rom like the above user suggests and follow the rom instructions in the respective thread. Typically, you would need to
1) boot into recovery and wipe System and Factory Reset (maybe Format data, whichever does not wipe internal sd)
2) install the zip from internal or external sd card
Its a fairly simple process. Just make sure your contacts are synced to Gmail before you flash a rom.

I downloaded the ROM, but it was only ~150mb, no where near big enough to be a complete ROM, thought maybe I was missing something.

150mb sounds about right, remember that it's an AOSP ROM, which includes much less than a TW ROM. If you're still sketch about it, check the md5 you have with the one on goo.im to see if they match.

This is very true. Most AOSP roms are around 150MB. TW based roms can be over 1GB, but are usually around 700-900MB.
All you have to do is:
1. Save it to your SD card in, say, "download."
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Select Wipe data/factory reset ==> Yes, wipe data ==> Mounts & Storage ==> Format /system ==> Yes, format system ==> Wipe Cache ==> Yes, wipe cache ==> Advanced ==> Wipe Dalvik ==> Yes, wipe dalvik
4. Select Install zip from SD card==> Choose zip from SD card ==> "Browse to, and select your zip" ==> Install zip ==> Yes, Install zip
5. Once complete, flash Gapps in the same manner, following step 4, reboot, enjoy.
P.S. If you want to flash a custom kernel, you do it just the same as you did the rom and the gapps, following step 4. You can flash the kernel before OR after the gapps, but it MUST be done AFTER the rom.
Hello
I have rooted my HTA Explorer and it was working fine then i flash custom rom MIUI then after i flash Cyanogenmod 9 build of 2012, it was also working good then i install stock rom just to check if i want to go back it was also working fine then i flash cyanogenmod 9 build 14 then it starts giving error like camera not loaded , cannot start calander etc.
I again flashed many roms randomly but my internal memory is only 23 mb left, I have checked through diskusage it says system data is 100 mb but there is no application installed.
I always wipe factory data reset and wipe cache partition before flashing new rom, i have also tried format data ,cache from mounts and storage but still i got only 23 mb available after flashing.
Now i am at my original backup of stock rom and if i flash cyanogenmod 9 it gives me error due to low internal memory.
I gues there is any old rom's data is still placed in my internal memory which needs to be wiped off, Please help me in this.
I have now use superwipe and installed cynogenmod 9 now it shows total space 150mn apps 26.99 and available 56.66 where is the rest 64.35mb ????

Hello Sensationalists,
After 3 years I have upgraded my phone to an HTC One and would like to sell my old phone.
It is currently running ICS Android Revolution HD 7.3.
What I would like to do is wipe all data from my SD drive and sell the phone with a pre-installed latest version of Android Revolution. I have found several tools for erasing but do not want to brick my phone or do anything rash, so here I am asking the pro's :
What would be the best way to erase all data from my HTC Sensation (full erase, non recoverable) and provide the buyer with a clean installation of the phone?
I believe the factory reset is no longer possible due to the custom ROM installation etc. (been a while since I have worked with the phone so not sure).
Please be easy on me with the technical terms and abbreviations, I'm a little rusty :angel:.
Many thanks in advance!

Wipe data/Factory reset?
It asks me 'About to wipe data, cache and sd-ext partitions.. Wipe all Userdata?'. This is what you mean right? It's in the recovery EXT4 program.
And if I have done that then the entire thing is unrecoverable? So no private data can be found by using recovery programs?

if you have 4ext recovery use the format all partitions except sdcard option
i assume it is unrecoverable

But I want to wipe the SD card as well. Should I do 'Format all partitions (except SDcard)' and after that 'Format sdcard'? I read that people use special programs to completely wipe all data from SD cards with programs like 'RoadKill's diskwipe'. But if this program does the same thing then I'm good, I doubt it though, that's why I ask .

hmm,
i don't know if from 4ext will be unrecoverable but it would be better to use a program to wipe it from pc

The thing is, I'm afraid that if I do this, reinstalling my phone will be a pain since EXT4 is put on the SDcard as far as I know. So if EXT4 doesn't wipe the data completely, and I have to use a PC program, I want to make sure I don't brick the device or delete crucial content for a clean installation.
So let me rephrase: How to wipe (unrecoverable) all data from my HTC Sensation including the SDcard, without losing the possibility of reinstalling the phone whilst avoiding the possibility of bricking the device/losing the possibility of a clean installation
I don't want the person that buys my phone to have access to files formerly stored on the SDcard or the phone itself.

by formating anything from 4ext won't brick the device at all
by the way 4ext is not on sdcard
it has its own partition in emmc

I did not know that, thanks! I'll just use a program from my PC then to wipe all data, then do a format all partitions (except SDcard) and do a clean installation of Android Revolution 7.3 ICS for the new buyer. This should suffice then right? Will this also wipe the data on my phone, numbers etc.? (I will destroy my simcard since I won't need it any more).

Perfect, that's what I need. I'll start... ehh.. wiping then... :laugh:
It worked btw, a full format from windows 7 made it impossible to recover data by using recovery programs. All data was wiped and new OS is running . Thanks a lot!
Hi guys I was wondering how does TWRP handle devices with no SD card ? Everytime I want to flash a ROM I have to wipe data does this wipe everything on your phone ? Do I make backups after every flash ?
The phone has a internal storage eMMC 5.0 of 16GB/64GB.
No it does not wipe your internal storage.

Yes it treats the virtual sdcard as an actual sdcard, and will not format it.
It works this way even with devices with external sd cards. Internal memory is not touched.
What you're actually working on is only system partition.
/data/media is where your personal storage is. It's symbolically linked to /sdcard as well for old apps the need it. When you factory reset (format /data) it excludes /data/media. Nothing is lost. You also don't need to wipe every time you flash a ROM. At least you don't unless you are changing to a different ROM just not when updating, though it's probably advisable to at least wipe dalvik cache.

If your using twrp there is wipebwhich does a factory wipe which wipes the data and cache. Doesnt touch your actual data. If you go to advanced wipe in wipe you can choose whatever your want. And wipe whole phone. But if you do that you will need to backup and then sideload or use USB otg to flash a ROM back....
