How would you describe clean? Like using the 1 click stock odin by just pressing start or master wipe?
I would say a nandroid backup after full wipe, stock rooted.

I will try it tomorro if you can tell me what it wipes. Like is it just the 2gb sd card or the 16gb one too
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
Thanks. I think it would only wipe your data/factory reset in recovery. Are you using clockwork? Should leave sdcard alone. You could use titanium backup to save everything prior to wiping. If you unsure don't reset just on my account.

ive been searching every where on how to do this with out reflashing my rom. i did a nandroid but i updated the recovery so i cant use that it gives me some suggestion to do it via adb. if there is no other way to get it back i guess i will go about it that way but if there is a apk available that will be much more appreciated!

will give it a shot thanks
EDIT: Works great! thank you so much
Glad it's resolved, but I don't see why an updated recovery would preclude you from restoring the nandroid backup. In Clockwork recovery you can go to Advanced Restore and restore only the System partition from the recent backup.

You can also flash another custom recovery from ROM Manager...

wouldn't the restore overwrite the current recovery in place?

Recovery is not part of the system partition, and in typical nandroid backups it is not even imaged as part of the backup.
Tried link in OP, just goes to Drop Box login.??
That's because I remove the file after a while...

@danger-rat, Thanks for putting it up again. Got it now.
Hey guys. I have a question. I have flashed mcr rom on my o2x recently but before flashing, i saved a backup in cwm.
Now that i want to flash back to stock rom and kernel and the exact same original settings and rom, can i just restore using cwm or what do i do?
I am from Singapore using Starhub.
Thanks guys

The main problem is that MCR will have converted your partition to ext4, which the stock ROM can't read. As far as I understand, there are two options
1. Use http://android.modaco.com/content/l...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/ but make sure you have the backup on your SD card, so before you reboot, you can restore it (if you reboot without restoring, bad things happen).
2. Use nvflash to put the stock ROM back on, and then restore your CWM backup.
But. . . someone who has done this may be able to confirm - if you want to be extra safe, check in the MCR thread.
Thnks for the reply! So cwm is actually not really a rom backup image?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
It is, but because the disk format is changed when you install MCR, I don't think you can restore it, without changing the disk format back first (I guess it depends how low level the image goes, maybe?)

Pretty sure NAND restore would be fine.
I see.
So by right what i have to do essentially is to:
1. Convert back to EXT3.
2. Make sure my NANDRIOD backup is in SD Card.
3. Off phone and go into CWM then recover NANDRIOD.
Should be all?
Don't quite understand the nvflash. May i know what is that?
If I flash CM9 (link) with CWM can I switch back to CM7 by flashing with CWM, for example can i switch back to the MiniMod X ROM(link)?
Yes you can but before and after installation wipe data and cache it's better for your phone and finally dont forget to make a nandroid backup
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Yes. CWM stays intact. If that is what you are afraid of.
You can switch between roms any number of times

Hello all, two questions. First, how do I get rid of a theme I no longer want installed? Second, what is the process for wiping cache and data without a factory reset? Much obliged.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA
In order to do both you will need cwm installed on your phone. In order to change roms you flash the zip file of the rom that you want to use by selecting the 'install zip from sd card' option in cwm. Obviously this means that you need to have the rom zip file already downloaded and on your sd card. Don't forget that most f the roms out there for the revo are for a specific version of the Verizon software on your phone. (ex. A phone running zv8 will likely not run a rom based on zv6/zV7 etc.)
Also, to wipe the cache you can also boot into cwm and select the wipe cache option. To wipe dalvik cache go to the advanced option and you will find it under there.
Thanks for sharing

I was wondering how to perform a wipe as well. Thanks Smiller5331!
So I'm running BO, I flashed dread ginger and no longer want it. I booted into cwm wiped both but still icons are left as well as the boot animation. Do I need to just attach to the PC and remove zip from sd card?

To remove unwanted theme you have to re flash BO.
Boot into recovery.
Do backup.
Wipe data, delvac, cache
Flash ROM.
Go to advance restore. Pick your latest backup. Select restore then restore data.
This will bring you back to how phone was before but without theme.
I use this method every time I flash a ROM or change something. Don't have to reload apps or anything.

Another question, when you say to wipe data my only option does a factory reset. Does that not wipe cwm? How do you install your backup. Do you have to reinstall just cwm from the market, boot into recovery and then install the backup?

It doesn't do a factory reset, it just clears everything prior to flashing a ROM. You must flash ROM before rebooting. Just follow the instructions. I have done it dozens of times.

If you want to remove a theme, there is a stock theme in the themes area. High limit made it. It will put you back to basic BO.
the only way to truly get back to a fresh out of the box feel I'd to flash a tot. It will replace everything except data. Then just go to settings, privacy, fact data wipe. Or shut down the phone, and turn it back on while holding the power and Vol down buttons. Then use the power button to confirm twice. That should do it.
Enjoy

A fact reset is just that. Android stores user data separate from the system. So a reset puts the ROM back to its most basic form with out any user data. It's all the same for Android itself. If your on VZW ROM (ie v4, v7, v8, v9) then it will do
a typical fact reset. If on BO, then it will reset BO.

By doing an advanced restore of only the data that you saved during the full backup.
1 Boot into CWM
2 Do full backup
3 Wipe data, delvac, and cache
4 Re flash the ROM
5 Do advanced restore of your data only
6 Restart
Your phone should look just as it did before re flash less theme, all apps remain.
As I said before, l've done this many times without issues.

do a backup in cwm from old phone. transfer backup to new phone. boot to cwm on new phone and restore the data from the backup.
If all else, just dl your apps from the market.

How? It´s first time i will install a ROM i have root and clockworkmod. And i need to wipe data factory reset. That will not erase everithing on the phone?. If i wipe data how i will install the ROM. Please just do a quick tutorial.
Thanx
Since you are rooted already, copy the ROM to your SD Card go into recovery mode and wipe data wipe partition go into advance mode wipe dalvik cache then come back select install from SD Card the install. You will only loose your apps but your files and media remains. Remember the first you flash it won't be successful cos of changes in partition but don't worry remove battery, go into recovery and flash again and you will be successful.

Do a backup in cwm recovery. If you want to you can restore the phone completly to it's iriginal state. Just remember to move the back up file to your pc, in case your internal card gets wiped

Yesterday when i try flash. I wiped data factory reset and cache but i have not put the zip on the internal memory. In recovery i put.mount usb but when i open a folder on the pc. Pc frezze and if i unmont usb pc works again. What i have to do to fix that? It will be hard if i put backup on pc and if delete my backup on phone. So im afraid on that step. Im not a noob user in pcs and smartphones but its first time i will do that. And the first time is harf.

Factory reset only resets phone settings, it doesn't actually wipe the SD card clean of all files, so feel free to reboot into your current ROM and then transfer the Zip file, then reboot, wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and Factory Reset
OR, try a different PC or different USB port to mount from within Clockworkmod. Mount USB should work OK.
Thx all. Now i free to test. Close thread please!
