Hi All,
Forgive me if my question is nooby! But I just wanted to ask before I do anything to my phone.
So, I have backed up a ROM via CWM. Now if I were to restore that ROM, do I have to do the "wipe data/factory reset" and Wipe Dalvik Cache or I can just Restore?
Kind Thanks!
With cwm no idea. With 4ext there is no need since it is done automatically. Give it a shot or check the script when it is being done to see what it says. Worst case scenario is pull the battery, wipe, flash.
When wiping all you need is
Wipe data/factory reset
Format all (except sd card). - (this last one is probably all that is needed really).
Once again 4ext, no idea with cwm.

I prefer to do a full wipe before restoring a nandroid, but I have restored without the wipe. Don't recall any I'll effects.

Hello. I use Samsung Captivate smartphone.
When I chose "wipe data" in CWM menu (while installing new rom), it does not wipe it... does anyone know why?
thank you.
wipe data, wipe dalvik cache, wipe everything just to be safe
and when you boot your phone, do a factory reset

What do you mean does wipe? How's your new rom installation result? For custom rom it is needed to wipe otherwise you'll get a boot loop

When you wipe everything, you should have phone with fully blanc internal memory right?

New ROM is working well, but sometimes it is working slow... and sometimes Dialer is exiting when i want to type digits.
What cwm are you using? I'm on an atrix but I know some cwm on the atrix do not wipe properly and we have to use fastboot to wipe. Not sure how that works on your device.

Ok first of all, this is my dad's phone he wanted rooted with a custom ROM. I'm not new at all to flashing but I have the Droid X and Droid Bionic so I only know MOto. SO I performed the root (*****) and installed CM7 build on his Evo. A week later he was experiencing ploblems with gmail and GPS and not wanting to constantly hear complaining, I opted to install a new ROM that had an RC build . I chose Synergy with god mode (wanting to wipe it twice) and proceeded with the dalvik and cahce wipes only. I didn't format sys because the op didn't state that I had to.....well I left his house letting the ROM settle and now its in a bootloop. He's telling me via gtalk that it trys to come on but says "storage is full" and "android.acor" has stopped. Any solutions that I can give him to get him back up and running?
Did you nandroid...if so just restore that

You'll have to flash a new rom or restore a previous backup (if any was made).

How do I flash the new ROM? It's bootlooped and I have no idea how to get to his CWM recovery from a bootloop.

Turn off the device, hold down the volume button and then the power button.
make sure you follow the 3 main steps before flashing/ restoring any rom or backup
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. go to advance->wipe dalvik
then proceed, and even though your motorola, it's the same through out all the phones
(have a photon and an evo3d)

When a restoring a Nand backup through CWM, does it actually wipe data,cache,boot etc..
Or do we have to manually wipe everything.
I noticed that when restoring it said erasing boot and stuff.
Asking because i always run into trouble when restoring a backup, Would be helpfull if someone can share the proper way of restoring a backup.

By default restoring a backup through cwm recovery does not wipe everything. If you choose to restore through Rom Managaer you will be given the option to wipe data, cache etc. I would recommended doing wipes manually, just to avoid any issues that may occur from not doing it before a nand restore

Wiping data/cache is enough or should we format boot/system etc?
It'd be better to do a manual wipe before restoring (system, data, cache, dalvik).
Hey, I was wondering, when I am in Clockworkmod do i have to wipe dalvik data cache and format phone? I saw a vid on youtube where i have to do all of that. do i really? or just data and cache?

Yes. You should always wipe.
In order.
factory reset,
format cache,
Advanced --> wipe dalvick cache,
Mounts and storage --> format system
Than flash your goodies!

It is always best to wipe everything. Especially when you change Roms. If you are on a cm rom and you are just upgrading to the newest version you can just wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, & reboot. I have done it this way for years & haven't had any problems. Most people prefer to wipe everything though.
TY so much

If you do all the passages you will have more chances to have a full working device
Sent from my Optimus 2X with Paranoid Android. Thanks button is here ↓ !!! Just use it
If it's your first rom, or if you're flashing an entirely new rom, do a full wipe. Otherwise, you can get away with just wiping cache and dalvik.
100% correct

ya iv had it happen to me a few times and to wipe all of them is usually the way to go, you can use titanium backup if you just want to keep your app just if you've upgraded to a new rom like going to jb from ics then do a restore and uncheck all system settings you only want your apps and their data back, if it forces closes just reboot in recovery and wipe the delvik cache and it should fix it up
I want to install a new ROM and wipe prior. But this is my first time using TWRP and dont know which WIPE to select that will not affect contents of my SDCard, or cause any other problems
Basically what is the equivalent of what i used to do in CWM prior to flashing
thanks
You'll know which one is which because TWRP warns you before you swipe to confirm that it formats the internal storage.

Haven't look at CWM so not sure but as far as I know they are named the same. Cache, DalvicCache, Factory data reset and system. The 4 at the top. Leave the rest alone unless want to wipe sd cards.

There is also the option to "Format Data"
So to wipe and flash a new ROM, ill wipe cache, wipe devlicCache, and wipe system? or format data?
I dont understand how i can phuck this up ...
I had CleanRom installed and all setup.
within TWRP i wiped cache/devlic and also "wipe system". I then installed SynergyRom
Booted for first time .. it knew my wifi, all apps were in place and functional, background was same as before, etc
when i go into SETTINGS>ABOUT it does say Synergy
but all is same as when in CleanRom
wtf?
EDIT, just tried again but this time selected "Factory Reset" before the flash, and it seems like this is what i wanted.

While in TWRP, Factory reset would "erase" the rom in the manner that you want. Then you flash Synergy.
