Hi!
I'm currently running a custom ROM 6.0.1.
I want do a full wipe: to delete everything on the phone and install a new ROM. What should I do? Any advice?
In TWRP choose "Wipe" and select "Advanced" and select everything (except otg if you have one inserted).
Swipe for wipe, then for install a rom you need an otg or you have to push file from adb.

I have the HTC thunderbolt and it is running gingerbread. I have multiple roms on my SD card but i can't remember how to change to a different one. Can anyone help me?
You must start recovery.
Reboot the Phone, start the recovery. Install zip file, and that´s it.
Sorry, i forget to tell you how to get into the recovery:
1. reboot
2. after the lights go down push the up or down button for long.
(at my device Desire HD it´s the down buttton)
3. now you are in the recovery. choose "install zip from sdcard"
4.take the rom you want.
5. press yes and you get the new rom
and remember to do a full wipe before installing

not exactly a full wipe. just data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache (dont wipe sd card or else you will have nothing to flash; the only reason why the sd card would be wiped/formatted is if you are partitioning it)
Hi guys. A few months back I got a Nexus S i9023. I got it second-hand and it had already had installed CWMod, Matr1x Kernel, NSCollab Mod and Super User.
As it is my first Android phone, I don't know much about custom ROMs, Kernels and Mods.
Now it has stability problems: it freezes (the screen is black and it doesn't do anything) and I have to take out the battery or in videos, it freezes and reboots. Also, when I connect it to the PC, I see lots of files and I don’t know if they should be there or not.
I'm looking for a few answers on how to make it work. Either to install ICS 4.0.3 or flash back to the original ROM and wait for OTA update. And where can I get these.
What do you recommend doing? And where can I get stable ROMs, kernels or Mods. I don't know what they each do exactly, so, if you have the time, please explain to me what they all are.
Thx a bunch!
The stickies in the general section ... you need to go there for the how to . Basically you need to unlock your bootloader if locked, install a custom recovery and from the recovery flash a stock rom or any other and you'll be set.
You are already unlocked and rooted (since you have this installed CWMod, Matr1x Kernel, NSCollab Mod and Super User). You need to start reading about ROMS in the development section. There are a lot of custom ROMs with ICS that work amazingly. You can also check bedalus work on benchmarking ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481856
I would recommend:
CMv9
Bugless Beast
Codename
Nuhetri
To install them, download ROM, copy to SDCARD, boot into recovery (if phone is shutdown, press volume up + power to get into bootloader). From here, select recovery (using volume+ and volume- to move within options and power button to select).
Once in recovery, make sure you follow instructions from the OP to install ROM. Some ROMs would need a full wipe, others might require Cache and Dalvik, etc.
Erase Cache: 'Wipe cache partition' and confirm with 'Yes - Wipe Cache'
Erase Dalvik: 'Advanced' | 'Wipe Dalvik Cache', confirm
Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik):
-Wipe 'Data/factory reset' and confirm
-Go to 'mounts and Storage'
format system
format cache
format data
format boot
To install ROM, go into 'Install Zip from sdcard' | 'Choose Zip from sdcard' | Select .zip file of ROM you decided and select it.

CMv9 is only a Mod? I mean I have to install it separately from ICS?
thank you for the info, I'll get right on it.

Hi there!
It looks to me that you are missing a few steps there.
First of all enter into Recovery (CWM) and do a Backup so that you can always restore to where you were!
Assuming that you have obviously put the zip on your SD just continue in Recovery.
Scroll down to Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Scroll down to Yes Delete all user data
Scroll down to install zip from SDcard
Choose zip from SDcard
Scroll down to your zip file and install
Well mate according to the developer the Wipe Data/Factory Reset is all you need but see how you go and let me know if it worked for you!
Oh and don't forget to hit Thanks!

I forgot mention all this above..... i've done all this and yet no gain
Hi again...do not worry. Let's add some other steps:
Open Recovery and repeat the Wipe Data/Factory Reset step above and add these steps below:
Wipe Cache Partition
Scroll down to Advanced
Choose Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go back to main menu
Scroll down to and choose Mounts and Storage
Then choose these 3 steps, each at the time, always scrolling down to yes and going back to the same place after each format is completed.
Format /Cache
Format /Data
Format / System
Then do the following steps like Install zip from SDcard, etc.
Now!!! That has to work......lol
Let me know how it went for you. I am assuming you can still get into your CWM right?
Oh and don't forget to hit THANKS.

Good morning. Let me see if I can help you. Did you follow the directions in the OP of that thread you linked to? If you did then you should have downloaded two zip files. Without Google Play I am guessing you didn't flash the second file, which is the Google Apps. In other words, if you flashed the ROM then your phone did see your downloads on the SD card, so I am not sure why you didn't flash the google apps (gapps) package in the same session?
Anyway, here's my advice, assuming you downloaded the two zip files:
power off the phone and boot back into recovery.
Then follow the instructions from the OP:
Download the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 build (link below) (done, yes?)
Download the latest Google Apps Package (link below) (done, yes?)
Put both .zip-files into the root-directory directory of your SD Card: /storage/sdcard/0/ (done, yes?)
Boot into your Custom Recovery
"wipe data/factory reset"
"wipe cache partition"
"advanced" > "wipe battery stats"&"wipe dalvik cache"
"mounts and storage" > format everything except sdcard
Flash the two files with the Recovery via "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard"
"wipe cache partition"
"advanced" > "wipe dalvik cache"
"reboot system"
When I have the time, I try to go through Q&A threads and answer the ones with zero replies... Good luck, bud... once you get this straightened out you'll enjoy it.
