Try to flash Andro ID RC3 once and then check or goto some GB Rom and check, please update if you do these things
use some sd card recovery tool.. u may also use a card reader to check for errors and fixing..

Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread and didn't want to post in the development forums, but I was wondering how does one do a full wipe?
I really don't want to threadjack either, but just thought that seeing as how this was a recent thread maybe someone could shoot me a quick answer...
I found this:
2. Reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)
3. In CWM "Wipe data/factory reset"
4. In CWM "Wipe Cache Partition"
5. Go To "Advance"
6. Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
7. Go To "Mounts And Storage"
8. Select "Mount System"
9. Then Select "Wipe System"
from this thread, and was wondering if all these steps are what one means by a full wipe, or just some of them~ and, if just some of the steps, which ones?
TIA
Issue resolved ..
- Did a full wipe and installed sharp rom using SUTL
- Replaced recovery.img in download mode
- flashed AOKP ICS 8.0
-Flashed CK Kernel
On this setup for last 12 hours without any issues till now ..
Thanks again for this forum and all your help

If you do step 3, no need step 4 and 6. Dalvik cache is in data partition and doing step 3 will also followed by wiping cache partition automatically by CWM.
And I never do step 7, 8 and 9. When we flash a rom, system partition usually been wiped by the script, except some roms which intended for upgrade.

Hi everyone,
Many custom roms nowadays have in their instalation instructions a point that sais that it is recommended to perform a "manual format /system". I'd like to ask what does it mean exactly? After doing full wipe/factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe should I open aroma and delete "/system" folder?
I've tried to google it but it doesn't seem to appear anywhere.
I'm really sorry for my bad english.
cheers

Manually formatting /system is recommended because it delete the system inbuilt apps which may not be compatible with the new ROM which you are going to install,
Apparently, even if the base is the same !
It is recommended by dev's ! It better to do it
I believe it happens for the rom to find completely blank space to extract withought creating malfunctions.
Manually formatting means that after you wipe data/ factory reset.. open mounts and storage (not aroma) and there you'll find an option to format system

This doesn't wipe internal SD
Quick explanation
/system/ is the system partition in android, while
/storage/sdcard0/ is the internal SD
You might also have
/data/
/datadata/
And so on, formatting either of these in cwm won't affect the others, so internal storage is safe unless you choose to wipe it.

/system is the folder that contains everything of your ROM. Devs ask to manually format the /system because it will completely wipe the ROM of your phone, including the kernel provided together with the ROM. This is to make sure full functionally of the new ROM you're installing.

Wiping /datadata is not a factory reset which prevents bootloops like yours. Wipe /data, /cache and dalvikcache, after flash the rom you want again and it should boot up

Flash the ROM, since you format system earlier...follow this guide and start from gingerbread or start from where you were before.

If you read the link [Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat, everything was mentioned in it and links to download were given in it. Only the you need to be careful which download link you click, as this free file server is bit tricky, they have included a lot of download links on it, just us free download button, a number of times , for download to begin.
on the other hand you can use the link you mentioned too, but you may need to download a CF rooting kernel to go with it.

Hello.
first I want to apologize for my, sometimes, bad English!
Second, i want to apologize for my novice touch in this topic!
The story:
I've been using SweetRom for a while, but tonight i wanted to try another rom.
I loaded up SuperBean(not really relevant to this story) on a microSD.
Rebooted my phone into recovery
Philz Touch 5
I choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then "Clean to install a new rom"
Then i tried to "install zip"
"Choose zip from sdcard"
But then i get: E:Can't Mount /sdcard/
I've tried to format the sdcard, exfat, fat, fat32, ntsf but nothing worked, still the same error.
I can access the internal storage and i can boot into download.
I thought that maybe i'll try to install the newest Philz but when in download mode
my computer wont recognize my phone (i'm using Windows 8)
i'm stuck! please help me out!
I've searched everywhere for answers but i can't find any!
What are my options?
Boot into Philz recovery again and go to mounts and storage and mount USB. Then connect it to pc. Check if the any drive shows up. Then move the new rom to the internal storage.

It does a full wipe. Basically it formats: cache, /system, /preload, /data

is /preload equivalent to /dalvik-cache? but then what's the point of format /data/factory restore if "clean to install new rom" is present?
No. It's different. Preload is a separate partition and dalvik-cache is in data partition.
The option you mentioned only exists in Philz recovery not in standard cwms

So, to be clear, is it necessary or advisable to do any of 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset', 'Wipe Cache Partition' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'? Or is 'Clean to Install a New ROM' merely an amalgam of the above (plus added formats?)?
Thanks
It's usually not necessary but it is ALWAYS advised to format /data /preload /system and cache before flashing a new ROM. If you don't do those wipes then you can sometimes end in a bootloop, random force closes, battery and performance issues et cetera. Basically if yoou want to flash a new ROM (unless it is an update to your current ROM) then always do a full wipe,
If you are just updating your ROM (ex. updating one nightly to another) then you just have to flash the ROM in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache (in advanced)

Thanks very much for that - much appreciated.
I've read elsewhere that many seem to recommend wiping cache and dalvik after they've flashed a ROM? Is this something you'd advise and, if so, why (or not!)?
Many thanks

If you're updating then yes, it's enough that you flash the ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache.
If you're reflashing from start then you should first do a full wipe, flash the ROM, gapps, su and that is all. No need to wipe the cache or dalvik cache again

Ah right. So if you're flashing a new ROM - then clean install is all that's necessary. If upgrading to a newer version of existing ROM, then it's better to wipe cache and dalvik post-install? Why? What does it do and how does it help?

reset before installing zip, now no super su ... cannot mount usb
Hi,
The title says it all. I have been reading and searching. Many similar stories. I apologise if this is in the wrong place but this is very similar to my problem.
I have a galaxy i9505 trying to install a DjeMBeY ROM from TWRP.
I factory reset and wiped cache's BEFORE I flashed the .zip file so then had no .zip file to flash!
Also have erased my system backup and the USB WILL NOT SEEM TO MOUNT to copy it back onto the card.
I have read and read I am very struck.
I am not familiar with all the processes yet. Please help.
i recommend going to here

You can go with the download mode and install a stock ROM or use the 'adb sideload " feature of cwm recovery to install the zip of your ROM if you have it saved on your PC.

Thanks! i went with download mode, then installed a stock rom, i had to root again and flash philz touch and install xtrestolite and now everything is ok!
Hi All,
I wan asking a noob question before i flash a rom.
Now i come with stock rom and bulletproof kenal.
The question is before flash the rom, we need full wipe in cwm, will this full wipe delete that rom zip file?
I already try, pc can't mount with phone in CWM.
So i need fullwipe in cwm, or wipe in aroma?
Only wipe in Aroma

Hi,
Wipe data/factory reset and it's good, your "sdcard" content will not be wiped.
Don't format /sdcard, /external_sd and /data/data/media (/sdcard) in mounts and storage menu.
In any case, yes you can choose to wipe in Aroma...

Follows what I said (well reading, right?) and you're good, thats all...
If you want to test wipe /sdcard, /external_sd and /data/data/media (/sdcard) and you'll see, even if we don't have an external storage (sdcard)... before save your sdcard on your computer and you'll need to know how "adb sideload"..., ok
I was trying to install the CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S Advance 10.2 with jeally bean. I have the files in the micro-sd, I insert it into the device, start the recovery mod, select "apply update from external storage", but unfortunately writes:
E: Failed to mount / sdcard (Invalid Argument)
How can I fix? Thank you very much.
Try first to wipe cache and dalvik and do a factory reset.
After that, choose "install zip from..." not "apply update..."

You used it before in stock recovery? If you didn't - maybe you need to repartition your sd card. Search xda for "how to repartition external sd card".

I did not find true and proper guidance, you have any topics that you would recommend?
Or is it advisable to make the partition with rom manager?
Did you try flashing firmware from Odin.Then flash CM with custom recovery.
I have same problem. Just format sdcard and it works.

Have you installed a CoCore Kernel already ... because if their is a "apply update from external ..." then you are on the Stock Recovery ... For installing CM 10.1, 10.2 or 11 or for all other roms you need a CWM recovery ... You can go to "Original Android Development" area and there is a thread about CoCore Kernel made by CoCafe ... follow the instructions and if you have the CWM recovery after installing, their should be a "install zip from sdcard".
