I know how to use CWM to clear data and what not, but as I've tried a few roms, i was wondering how I can do a totally clean install, ie, wipe out CWM/Android and reinstall. Ive seen how to install but never remove...
Thanks!
to fully uninstall/reinstall for me,
i use the acmeuninstaller then acmeinstaller2
just make sure u put all your install zip files (moboot, cwm, gapps and rom) before you initiate the uninstall process

Seriously.
But mes0suave is right, that is how I clean up everything and put a new android with 100% guarantee that it doesn't have any older clutter.
Good Luck

Hi,
I was trying to download the new Youtube app that came out a couple days ago, but installation keeps failing. Im using Rodriguez's CM6 rom.
Wondering if the issue is with the ROM or some other issue Im not aware of, i know i have more than enough space on the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Uninstall the YouTube app with titanium backup, reboot, then install the new one.
10000000 to 1 odds you're running a custom rom

Wow, I am a tard. Completely skipped over that part.
Regardless, every time I see some one with a problem like this, it is caused by running something other than the stock rom.

You shouldn't reset anything before you begin. This method will create a backup of your stock system using SafeStrap. You can always return to your original setup using SafeStrap. Just reverse the toggle setting for Safe system (step 21). The wipe in step 22 is all you'll need.
I'd recommend reading a little about how SafeStrap works if you're feeling uncertain. There's a link to the Safestrap website in the "Credits" section of the OP.

I'm using [H]on3yScr3am: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10340-tpax-hon3yscr3am/ (Props to MasturMynd).
I'm not sure its technically built for 901, but its working fine for me and looks awesome. Basic steps to installing are 1)Download .zip to SD-card 2)Backup (step 20 in OP) 3)Install .zip in Safestrap (steps 23 and 24 in OP). Wipe shouldn't be necessary for this theme, it is built into the script.
Always backup before you do anything.
Other themes ("Tpax") for Kin3tix are here: http://rootzwiki.com/forum/264-th3oryrom/
When I get some time I'll break this down further and add to OP.
K cool. Not to sound like complete dumbfounded noob but does it matter which we backup to? Meaning the internal sd and external sd?

When it comes to the .901 file, the file reads Blur_Verzion.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
The file name makes it look like the one pre .901. Can you confirm the file is correct and just named wrong? With MegaUpload gone, I'm not sure the MediaFire link is correct. I'm looking for another source for .901, but in case I don't find it....

Motorola names their updates based on the filesystem they are REPLACING. So yes, this is correct. I did my homework before I wrote this up, promise
Thank you. I appreciate that. Seemed odd, but was thinking that exact thing. Running a backup with Bootstrap first, then will install this and move on to test out some ROM's.
Has anyone made progress with unlocking the bootloader? I just got the Bionic a few weeks ago. Sure isn't like the Xoom when it comes to customization.
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent guide. I'm now running the ROM w/ the HON3YSCR3AM mod. It's really cool. Apparently there's been some issues between the dev's who made some of this though.
I really hate that there is so little out there for the Bionic. Hoping the bootloader can be unlocked so we can see some real developments come about. I like Moto phone's, but will avoid anything with a locked bootloader in the future.
I followed the steps verbatim. I could have sworn that last night I was on 901 and now it shows me on. 893. Should I run the update again or what should I do? Eclipse is running.
I also am getting the default tether or mobile hotspot notification when I run wifi tether... Is there a fix for this?
I also usually run the application Klink by faveset and since the root it will not recognize my phone when I hook up the usb.
Any ideas.

Just explained in the several post above you but since you missed it. You are on 901 but for some reason when you flash a 901 compatible rom it'll say 893 in phone info. But if you had just did the update and boot up your phone before flashing a rom it would've verified you are actually on 901. Weird I know. I did this this morning cause I was worried too that I wasn't on 901.
Perfect thanks!

To install new kernel, shoould i do any wipe/clearing data?
i'm using viper rom 1.2.1 and it has the viper hub to install kernel, but i have to enter the recovery, and now i'm using bulleproof kernel, and i want to install the ultimax kernel, should i wipe or do anything before flashing the kernel (just like rom) ?
please need help, sorry for the bad english..
No, installing kernel doesn't need you to wipe data. Only wiping cache or dalvik cache is enough (as some kernel's also automatically did this upon flashing so, it depends.)

Yeah, but it is always advised that you do a backup of your rom first, just in case something goes wrong and you want to restore everything back. As for the kernel, I personally use ElemantalX, got no big issue with it. Basically you have to try by yourself though and find the best that suits you.

No I mean, the backup of your whole system. You can find the backup option in the recovery. It's okay, nothing wrong in asking when you really don't know about something.

Anytime mate. Glad to help as far as I can.
This is just that... A Verizon Stock Rooted ROM based on Build VS98011A (OTA Build)!
A stock rooted ROM
Pre-rooted
Busybox
zipaligned
Odex. De-Odex later!
Must be on latest OTA!
Includes boot.img that is pre-lokied.
You dont not need to worry about loki or OTA's.
Thanks
Jparasita and mbroseAI for helping test it, djrbliss, dees_troy, chainfire, Anonymous Donator!

This may not be for you...
This ROM is for someone...
Who wants to tinker and build there own personal ROM from the stock base.
Another developer that may not have the ability to get a stock base (Like me, I only have the AT&T phone)
When you hose your phone trying to "modify" things because you "read it on the internet" somewhere you can then use this ROM to get your anus out of trouble.
You flash someone else ROM and realize its not what you were expecting, you didn't make nandroid back up, and your rebooting every time you try to make a phone call. This ROM would come in real handy
You see where I am going with this?

Do you know how long it takes to upload this isht?
I had to TeamView into jparista's PC, dump his phone, build the ROM, then upload it all using his internet connection because he has twice the upload speed I did.
I would still be uploading now!
you say must be on latest OTA, what happens if we flash this on non OTA?
Scott,
In the OP you say we need to be on the latest OTA?
I had flashed TWRP and have not been able to get the OTA.
I was surprised when I read we needed to be on the latest OTA to flash your ROM.
I have been holding off getting the OTA because I figured I would just flash a ROM to get the on the latest OTA is there a reason we need to be on it to flash your ROM?
Do you happen to have a Stock Recovery IMG and I get in order to get the OTA if I am going to need the OTA I will have to get it through stock recovery

Edit: My bad. You are using verizon g2.
Download this lollipop latest stock from here : http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Verizon/Lollipop/
Then follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 , follow KDZ method to get it done.
Once you are on lollipop, Root again, install recovery using autorec ( if you happen to find an unresponsive button , lmk) and make a nandroid backup, then flash cm on it.
Lmk if you need further assistance.

Understandable, happens when u weren't in touch with sth specific for long cuz alot changes.
Install TWRP first . Then make a nandroid backup in case you ever need to go back the current state ( u dont wanna screw things up and do kdz all the way upto this) . Then download cm13, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache , do not wipe internal storage.
Thats it.
