i want to upgrade from viper c2 5.00 to 5.10
can u teach me how to do a full wipe, im using twrp.
cuz i read many threads and its all different methods, thanks.
Just factory reset from twrp. That should suffice. But if you really want to do a full wipe then you can manually select what you want to wipe from advance tab in wipe

I just did this before flashing a new ROM and seem to have lost Root privilege.
Is this normally what happens when Factory Resetting with TWRP?

Yes it's normal.
TWRP will ask you to restore root privilege before leaving recovery. Just follow the procedure.

First root the device, then install cwm recovery, then download a rom you like, copy to sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache. Then flash your rom and reboot

I'm thinking of selling my phone and want to make sure that it's been cleaned of all personal data. My phone is rooted and on CM 10.0
Do I just do the following:
>>Reflash latest clockworkmod recovery, boot into recovery and wipe data + cache + dalvik<<
Is it preferable to sell the phone with the stock ROM? If so how can I do that (assuming it's possible).
Thanks.
I would probably do a full wipe and flash the factory images thru fastboot and lock the bootloader. This will return it to brand new out of the box software.

This but format SD through the computer first. This will wipe everything and make it "Zip" again.

I completely forgot that step, and it is most definitely important.

The best way would be to flash the factory image, which will return everything stock and new. I have a guide here for it.

I've been formatting the SD through CWM.
What is the difference between formatting in CWM or a computer? CWM sees to wipe it clean, or am I missing something?

Formating through the computer will wipe and defragment it as well. It is a 'true" format than with CWM. CWM just wipes but not like through the computer.

I would format SD card through the computer than flash factory image from Google than root again by fastboot flash CWM and flash SU. This will ensure all is wiped and it will amaze the new user how fast it is. :thumbup:

Basically I want a strait up clean slate. I'm running rooted stock 4.2.1, and all I want to do is delete all apps and keep my root. I'm using TWRP Backup.

To start with a clean slate while keeping root I would recommend booting into recovery and selecting the factory reset option and then wiping the cache. Then once you have done that reboot the phone and you'll still have root but you'll have the clean slate you wanted.

By using this option, I would I still have my TWRP Backup just in case something happens?

Yes, if you make a backup of your setup before you wipe everything in TWRP you can then latter restore your backup in case something happens.

Not sure if you will lose root. Since you are already rooted the best way to go is use a custom recovery and factory wipe in recovery.
Once you have a custom recovery installed, why would you even want to use the Factory Reset function in the stock rom? You can do everything you need to do with much more flexbility in TWRP.
No idea what happens on the M8 if you do this, but I can tell you that on the Transformer tablets a factory reset from settings wiith CWM or TWRP installed left you in a nasty forced reboot to recovery loop.
Don't do it!
Oh - and no, any kind of wipe of data/cache/dalvik will not affect root. If you wipe /system it will, but then you wouldn't have a rom installed anyway!
Just do the factory wipe in TWRP. That'll wipe everything but /system and /data/media/ where your personal files (pics, videos, docs) live. If you want to get rid of those too format data in TWRP.
Edit: Sorry, didn't read your post correctly. Did you only root with Weaksauce? No S-off, no permanent root, no custom recovery?
In that case it depends where Weaksauce is installed to. I can't remember - Weaksauce didn't survive for long after using firewater, but my guess is, it would be installed to /data. And yes - a factory reset would wipe the app and you would have to install it again.
Hello,
I just make a full wipe and see that Supersu is installed by default after boot. Is this normal?
Thanks,

No unless you're flashing a custom rom. Some custom roms will include supersu.

If you did a full wipe using twrp, it roots the phone automatically unless you decline the option.

If you bought it second hand the first thing I'd do is flash the factory image so it's like brand new.
