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 :/

I am a little confused on the terminology. I have done some searching and I came across the same question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107425 but it didn't really explain what manual format/system means for TWRP...
For instance, to install Slim Bean 4.2 build 8, it suggests to do a full wipe and then manual format system before flashing the rom.
How would I do this in TWRP? I want to make sure that this is DIFFERENT from format /data right? It is also different from "just" wiping "system" through "Advanced wipe" in TWRP?
Thanks in advance guys!

If you want to flash a new rom you have to go into TWRP
Wipe: Cache + Dalvik Cache + System
Wipe System is the same like formatting system

Thanks! Appreciate it. I was just wondering if formatting system is more of an active process that's different from wipe (eg. writing in zeros).

no its same
wipe = format
You don't need to wipe anything for flashing a newer version of some ROMs such as nighties. A factory is usually recommended to wipe the cache, dalvik cache and userdata to return the ROM to stock. Then when you flash a new ROM it will overwrite your current one.
Format System during SLIM installation
Hi,
Formatting the System is not risk the whole data i have on my device? in the past (as far as i remember,) doing it, deleted all the information i had on the device completely so it was even impossible to recognize it on the PC even all the drivers were well installed.
Looking forward for your advice.

glad I came across this thread, was always wondering about TWRP being so used to ClockWorkMod
does format data also wipe my android os As well?
I have been addicted to flashing new ROMs almost every other day. On moving to SGS4, I started searching for a flashable zip that will do an extensive wiping for me without bothering me with wipe Data, wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik etc.
I thought I will make one for myself. now that I have made and used it, I want to share it with others.
There are 4 wipe types in aroma Package:
1) MegaWipe
2) SuperWipe
3) SimpleWipe
4) Factory Reset
All 4 serve different purposes.
1. Megawipe: Use this zip to completely format your phone. It will delete everything in your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After it install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the frame work.It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. So Beware!
2. SuperWipe: This is a simple factory reset and you can use it to move from one ROM to another without bothering about framework conflicts.It deletes the Data Folders and Cache partitions of your internal memory.
3. Factory Reset: Use it to do a Factory Reset, which wipes your Data partition, Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache. It will delete everything on your Internal SDcard.
4. SimpleWipe: A simple wipe is as the name suggests a Simple Cache and Dalvik wipe. You can use it to clear the said partitions before updating to a newer version of your ROM. Also, You can use it before you have flash a new ROM.

Also, I have read questions on how to completely wipe the phone..the MegaWipe zip will do it for you..just have a ROM to install on the ExtSdcard when you use it.
Requirements: You need to have
1. CWM Recovery installed
2. Busybox installed

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.

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.
