Hi,
I've just update from Fallout v.2.0 to 5.0, wiping chache + Dalvik.
No problem, everything's ok. But I can't see "Fallout Tweaks" menu, neither in configuration nor in quick configuration option.
I've flashed it two times, everithing's working, but I can't see the ROM option... What can I do? Wipe all?
Thank's for the answers!
For such a big update, a full wipe is always recommended.
I assume you know to tap on the operator name to see the quick settings?
A full wipe is probably the only solution.

Sure, I know to tap on operator name to qs...
OK, full wipe...
Thank's!
Sorry...
I'm going to do a full wipe. On device there is 4EXT Recovery. I've backuped everythings with Titanium on sd card.
Now which is the right voice? "Wipe data/factory reset"? --> But there's the full-deleting warning, including sd card...!
Otherwise there is "Format all partitions (except sdcard)"...
Which is the right choise, to flashing Fallout 5.00 Rom and restore my data later?
Thank's a lot...

Well. And then wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache?

Format all except sd card already wipes cache and Dalvik cache, so you don't have to do that separately.
Well, done. Everything is working... Thanks to everybody again.
Now I hope to have solved the worse problem: sometimes I don't receive a sms; I get notification and sound, but can't find any message. But it was sent from somebody!
And it's a random problem!
Hoping... :fingers-crossed:

quick question, im new to rooting the transforner and i just want to know, when i wipe to install prime will it erase my music that is on the internal storage? If so, is there a different way to wipe to keep certain files? Cause i also have my titanium backup files on internal as well, thanks in advance.
First of all, your title made me laugh for a good 1 minute. Somehow, "question about wiping" just doesn't sound very technical and sound more like it has something to do with our bodily functions.
No, "wiping" cache and data will not touch your files. Android is different than windows. Windows OS has 1 big partition where everything is in there. Android has 12 partitions, each one has it's own purpose. When you wipe the data partition, what you're really wiping is app data partition. There is also a user data partition where all your files are kept. Unless you do a format of your sdcard in the advance menu, all your user files are safe.
So, before you install a custom rom, make sure you wipe cache and data/factory reset. Also wipe dalvik cache. Trust me, all your porn files will still be there waiting for you.
Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor.
Lol, thanks buddy. Ive never had an android device with an internal sdcard so i was a little concerned. Thanks again.

I was wondering, is a data/factory wipe always necessary? When I flashed Revolver 3.9.3 for the 1ste time from stock rom, I did a data/factory wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe in CWM. When updating this Revolver rom to 3.9.5 using zip-file, I only wipe cache and dalvik cache. On my Moto I wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after the zip update when updating a custom rom, but I'm not sure if the latter is necessary. I guess a data/factory wipe is only necessary when flashing a new base rom?
wiping is usually recommended as sometimes if you install with out wiping it will cause weird problems :/
Before installing a new ROM, I've always used Recovery's wipe functions (data, cache and dalvic cache). Today I discovered that at least one ROM (Sense-O-Maniac) seems to require that SuperWipe be used. On the other hand, I see that another ROM (OpenSensation) requires the use of Recovery's wipe functions.
Why is this?
Thanks.
To keep it simple:
"Partition Tables"
That's why.

Not true...
Where do you read S-o-M requires Superwipe.
On the other hand i only build in a option in the installer to conduct a Full Wipe.
This full wipe (executed by script) is the same as manual wiping all data partitions in the recovery.
Saves some clicking...
Can someone clarify exactly what I means to "wipe" a device?
I have installed CleanRom. In recovery I reset the device, wiped cache, and wiped Dalvik cache. I did not wipe the SD card. is this correct? If so, is there ever a need to wipe the SD card?
Thanks!
I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure there is never any reason to wipe the SD card when flashing roms. I've flashed every version of cleanrom released so far doing exactly what you did and haven't run into any issues.

Yeah there's really no reason for you to wipe your sdcard unless you're planning on returning your device. The rest is correct.
When "wiping" a device for installing a new custom ROM, you typically should wipe cache, Dalvik, and data.
Data can sometimes be kept, if the base ROM is similar. But doing so may cause random bugs, and you may end up having to wipe data and reflash. Wiping data is usually the safest.
Wiping SD card is not necessary.
I must have something wrong then because I do the same wipes you mentioned, cache, dalvik, and data and every time I do it my SDCard contents, are also gone. Has no one else had this problem?
Thanks
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.

Hi..
I am always confused about this. When flashing a custom ROM, will wiping the system not delete the ROM zip file?
Also is wiping cache, system and data the only things I need to do.
Like there are so many confusing posts in and out of xda. The official CM page says nothing about wiping cache and system while the CM FAQ page here says to wipe all three I.e. cache , data and system.
Some say to do factory reset and some say not to.
What do I do man?
Cache, Data, System and Internal Storage are all separate partitions. Wiping one does not affect the others. Factory reset usually does the first three, you have to manually specify anything else.
Your ROM zip will be on the 'Internal Storage' partition which is why it survives a system wipe.

Thanks for your quick response man. Also one more thing.
Is it necessary to wipe all the three when flashing a ROM and does the order in which they are wiped matter?
It's a very good idea. Not wiping can cause all kinds of problems. Order does not matter.

Another thing again..
Should i wipe data/factory rest or just wipe data..
And in case of cache should i wipe cache partition or just cache or dalvik cache also..
Thanks in advance!

Wipe them all if you want, but factory reset is usually enough.
follow the instructions in the ROM thread where you looked, some steps omitted or changed to be installed, I hope you have no problems, I recommend that you make a backup of your current ROM.
