Hi, I have a P500 on AOKP ICS, and I tried flashing CAF kernel in CWM 5.0.2.0, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache and rebooted, but phone got stuck on 'start applications' dialog just after boot animation, which I had never seen before. I tried restoring a nandroid backup I did just before trying the kernel without wiping anything, but it then got stuck at the boot animation. I had to do a data wipe/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache to get it to boot.
I was just wondering why this happened. I have very limited free space in system (10mb), and 8mb in data before Link2sd has relinked lib files at boot, APK and dex are also linked. I also froze an app using link2sd before trying, could this have caused it as it couldn't recreate the dalvik files for that app? I don't really want to try again, but it not work and have to factory reset and restore everything again...
Any help would be appreciated
Dont link system libs to sd when you want to flash a kernel.

Thanks for the reply, but Link2sd doesn't allow linking of system libs, only user...

hey guys, i kinda have a problem, so if you're willing to help me, that would be nice.
so, after wiping cache, dalvik and system, i flashed Fallout v5.0 on my desire s, booted to fastboot and flashed the kernel, then hit the restart button. some applications update, then htc one logo comes up. all good until some errors shows up:"Unfortunately, Phone has stopped." and "Unfortunately, the process com.htc.bgp has stopped." and my phone goes to htc one logo again. the errors shows up in like 20-30 sec after the logo and they keep restarting the phone. any fix for this?
What rom did you have on your phone before?

Try a clean install (wipe all partitions, including data)

Was before and now.
My TWRP recovery image doesn't have wipe data option. Ony Cache, Dalvik's Cache, System, Factory Reset, External Storage and Android Secure on the wipe menu.
Yes, you'll definitely have to do a full wipe before flashing fallout then, it's a completely different base.
Just wiping cache and dalvik MIGHT have worked coming from the previous version of fallout, though 5.0 was a big update, so I'm not sure. All roms format /system anyway when installing, no need to do that separately.

So full wipe means wiping all those options i wrote before? if i wipe the external storage, won't i lose everything on the SD card?

No, full wipe means wiping everything EXCEPT sdcard.
Well, basically wiping cache, dalvik cache and data should do it, as system gets formatted anyway. You will lose your settings and apps (I use titanium backup to backup and reinstall my apps), but music, photos, nandroid backups etc. that's on the sdcard will still be there.

Use 4ext recovery it's loads better and easier. One touch format all except sd card.
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. ~Wernher Von Braun

Hi,
Today I successfully rooted my galaxy Tab 2 7 P3100. What I am not sure is when and why we need the
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
I want to understand because I plan to try couple of other ROMs. Should I follow the above procedure every time I flash a ROM or is there a better way where avoiding any of the above is an option.
Regards.
to minimize the conflict that would occur if you use a different rom base
try it without wiping, usually meet force close dialog after booting
all i know is that wiping cache will clear data related to applications, so if you have an app force closing all the time it is sometimes handy to wipe that app's cache from the settings or wiping the entire cache from recovery.
wiping data/factory reset however will remove any app you have installed and all your personal files that you've put on the device.
Basic breakdown,
If going from one base ROM to another base ROM like stock to CM, CM to AOKP, stock to AOKP or anything like that you will need to do ALL 3 wipes.
If going from like a CM10 nightly to a newer nightly you can usually just wipe CACHE and Dalvick
If you flash addons you will usually need to wipe cache and Dalvick
BASICALLY just do what the INSTRUCTIONS for the ROM your flashing SAYS to do.
Wiping Dalvik cache before and after flasing of ROM

First of all a BIG THANK YOU.
Now One more doubt there is this ROM which I want to flash and it says to wipe dalvik cache before and after flasing the ROM. Please confirm only Factory reset will clear the existing ROM and wiping Cache and Dalvik cache wont affect the existing ROM(or internal SD Data)
Thanks again.

OK well flashing any ROM will replace your current ROM, NONE of your files (music, pictures or things like that) are touched by ANY of these wipes, Factory reset wipes out installed apps, wiping cache and dalvik after flashing or hell wipe data/factory reset won't touch the apps "built-in" to the ROM.
remember the ROM is your operating system and your files (music, pictures, and other stuff) are in the internal SD which is a separate partition from the ROOT system folder where the OS files are.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset - wipes all APPS and Google account information and resets all devices settings to default
as for the other 2 read through the answer here http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25859/why-do-i-need-to-wipe-dalvik-cache it explains what the other wipes are about.
Hope that covers it, basically jumping from one ROM to another the most you can lose is your basic settings and your APPS (which can be redownloaded, if you didn't use an app to back them up first, but you would lose any progress in your games if you don't back them up).
I am having a HTC Explorer... I have unlocked the bootloader and have rooted my phone. I have CWM Recovery installed.. I treid installing custom ROM, but after installing once I reboot, it keeps showing the custom ROM's animated loading screen and never proceeds forward. I have tried 4 different custom ROM's and also tried to install Stock ROM but same happens.
During installation I don't get any sort of error. But once I reboot the phone it is stuck on the loading animation. I have already tried formatting data, clearing partition cache and clearing dalvik cache...
Can any one help regarding this issue.. ?
P.S: I don't have any backup..I know I should have backed up...but still...

Firstly specify which which roms you tried which recovery you are using.
Well to say..
If you are using sense based Roms.. Then ext partition is needed.. Which can be done in recovery- Advanced- Partition sd card..
Partitioning sd card will format your card so take a backup of it
If you are using sense based roms then use recovery which mounts ext Like TWRP or Philz or CWM Latest one..
If not a sense based rom:
1. Go to recovery
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Advanced -> Wipe dalvich cache.
5. Mounts and storage -> format /boot, /cache, /system , /sd-ext(if present).
6. Dont format anything else.
7. Install zip -> flash the rom.
8. Reboot
If you are still facing problem PM me..

I tried the following ROM's
Speed Droid
Cyanogen Mod 10
Even tried Stock ROM..
Thanks for the reply..Let me try what you suggested..
I'm not a programmer - I just did my first root of my Galaxy S4 Blaze last month so please bear with me. I posted this under XDA Assist but that was the wrong place...
Yesterday I flashed a version of CM 11 that I had been using for a month with no problems because of some weird things happening with the newer CM 11 nightly I got a couple of days ago. This is what I'm now using again:
cwm-11-20150119-NIGHTLY-t769.zip
When I reinstalled Link2SD after flashing this ROM, I set it to Ext4 as it was before and I got this error:
"Mount Script Error - mount script cannot be created. Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare(0)."
Link2SD was working fine before I wiped the phone and reflashed the older CM 11. I tried uninstalling Link2SD, rebooting, reinstalling and then trying the other formats (Ext 2, 3) with the same result.
Not knowing what else to do I backed up my card and used Mini Partition Wizard to delete and recreate the partitions (FAT32 and Ext4) . Exact same error in Link2SD.
I tried making both partitions FAT32, same error.
I have no idea what else to try here. Can someone help me, please?

Perform a full wipe, including all storages, clean install rom, clean install Link2SD. Try not using any backups and you should be fine.

This is what I was thinking - so it's some kind of little glitch, not related to the card? By cleaning storages do you mean clearing all the caches?

Before I saw this answer I did this:
In CWM recovery I wiped to factory settings, cleared the cache, cleared Dalvik cache, installed the zip of CM 11 and Gapps. When I rebooted I installed Link2SD and got the same error.
I missed a few steps in your process so will try it again now...
Did it again with the additional steps of formatting the /system and /data folders - no change, same error in Link2SD.
I got in touch with the developer and he sent me a fresh beta APK version, I installed that, and it worked immediately. So, problem solved. Thanks for your help, at least I know the correct process for flashing a ROM now.
I am trying to install an Oreo based ROM lineage os 15.1
Currently data partition is ext4
Latest Twrp installed
But still whenever I try to install any Oreo ROM I get encryption unsuccessful message and even after factory reset with yes I get stuck on same thing again and again and if I try to change recovery after installing ROM the phone gets stuck in boot loop can anyone please help to solve this problem
I think this will solve ur issue
Yup I have also the same problem first of all do all these steps I think it resolve your issue:-
1. Go to settings of TWRP and reboot recovery.
2. Now format all the internal storage if u have important files in internal storage skip this step
3. After that go to advanced wipe and select system and data one by one and change its format to ext4.
4. Now advanced wipe everything.
5. Thats all now you can install lineage 15.1
I did the same and its working properly in my phone.
This problem occurs due to change of format of data to f2f so convert it to EXT4 and its fine
when you did advanced wipe to evertything is data, cache, system, etc? i already did this but still saying me that my phone was encrypted and i have to unlock with the pin or my account but i get a loop even if i put the correct user and password.

Bro I already mentioned first of all you have to Factory reset but it will wipe all your data from internal storage so do have a back up for that. Encryption issue can only resolved by factory reset.
