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.

Its always recommended to do a backup of your apps before flashing a ROM. I prefer titanium backup

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.
Thx again all.

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!

Is it possible to revert back to CM9 without the need to wipe and thus install everything?

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.

Wiping cache and data

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?

Attached to PC and removed zip files. Running BO just fine.

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.

Mine are saved to the _ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup folder.
You can copy the backup using RomToolbox or ES File Explorer.

[Help] Ace stuck on samsung logo, when \system permissions set to READ

i did a big mess with my ace
i tried to change \system permissions to only Read.,. Now my phone just stuck at samsung logo :/
i did data reset in recovery mode & also Re-flashed the current through SD Card.. but still not solved please help me out
Edit: try it first. In cwm there's an option called "fix permissions". Try it if it can help or try following.
Well try restoring nandroid backup. Flash rom again and again after full wipes. Format cache, data etc from advance options. Flash another rom at last.
One suggestion, don't do things that you don't know about. Android is working on permissions

Glad you got it sorted, in future never use a pit unless you're facing certain brick scenarios, it can cause more damage than good, you rarely need them.

Maybe your battery is drained out.....charge it by connecting to your charger
Then formatting your system, wipe apps cache dalvik.....flash a compatible ROM or restore if you have back up....
your data if it is not an app......files stored in the internal sd card should be there...... Don't format the card....
