Do you mean - before flashing CM9, you have to wipe all data?
Or do you mean - flashing back to Samsung rom and then all the way back to CM9?
For me, a clean install would be, download the CM9 .zip file, go to recovery, wipe data/factory reset and then flash the new rom.
(Be careful, as clean means all your user data as settings and apps get deleted)
Cheers

To format SD card you have to get to storage from settings and find format internal SD card

How come I cannot wipe clean my Note?

After I installed the Safe Kernel Hydracore and Reboot to recovery (vol.up+home+power button) I select wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition and even go into Advanced and did the wipe Dalvik cache and after I installed the latest Cyanomod 10 and Gapps and reboot the phone, I still have my old folders like before with maps, games, etc...
When I looked in my Main Storage of my Note (/storage/sdcard0), I only have 3.5 GB free. And like I said, I can still see my old games, apps and maps folders in my main storage which took up a lot of space and I only have 3.5 GB free. Do I have to manually delete every folder in the main storage and go back to recovery and do everything over? Could this brick my phone?
How can I completely wipe everything in my main storage?

Wipe in cwmr does not clear internal storage, for that you need to format internal SD. Once on safe kernel you can easily format sd and there is no risk in it. Just format it in settings/storage but make sure to move required files to external sd (like pics or music)

Does it suppose to format your internal sdcard? The answer is NO. Format it by going to settings/storage/format internal memory.

Alternatively, as I find even a format of sd sometimes does not do a proper wipe, connect phone to pc as usb, then manually delete all files on SD.

Think you are all wrong guys.
He wants a factory reset, not manualy delete folders and files.
There are a lot other stuff that remains on the Note, registry, hidden files...etc.
There is only one simple way to do that.
Because all "new" kernel have the option to format emmc disabled, remember the Note brick times.
Flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel, restart in recovery, do factory reset ( it works ) and full wipe, flash an safe ICS kernel or flash the whole new ROM of your choice.
You are done.
Remeber to restart in RECOVERY afte flashing the Abyss 4.2 kernel for factory reset.
The other, difficult, way is to flash a rootable GB ROM with PC Odin, root your Note an after that, you have a clean, almost virgin, Note for flashing the newest ROM of your choice.

I think the first two guys answered correctly.

Factory reset = format internal SD with safe kernel??

Factory reset only formats system, so doesn't touch internal sd card at all..... Fact.

Ergo => formating internal SD doesnt touch the system => doesnt do "Factory reset"?
Right?
Factory reset with "unsafe" GB kernel format system AND internal SD.
After that you can manually mount system and format it, also all other system partitions, from unsafe kernel.
But after formating system, data, dalvik and all other system relevant partitions from any "safe" kernel you will find all your data, passwords, old programm entrys untouched.
Fact!!!
Ever installed again your navi software after doing full wipe and manually formating all system partitions from safe kernel?
After reboot there is nothing, but install your Navigon and it will find asap all your maps, account and everything else.
All the data are present and this is NOT Factory reset.
There is not problem WHAT does "Factory reset" and "format system" but it is VERY, VERY, VERY important from what KERNEL you do this.
Safe or unsafe GB kernel.
And again, deleting all data from the phone is only possible with unsafe kernel or flashing original Samsung firmware.
And this guy above did a full wipe with safe kernel and finds all his data untouched.
And again: a clean Note is only possible with unsafe GB kernel or original Samsung firmware.
Formating system from a safe kernel is NOT enough for a clean phone.

You're talking bonkers mate. A factory reset only resets the system partition. It does not include internal sd card Nov matter what kernel you're on. You have to specify a separate operation of wipe internal sd card for that. Kernel type doesn't make a difference.

thats true.. u need to load other partition on a safe kernel and format manually.. but GB recovery does the same as well

Factory reset not working!

If you mean the Wipe Data/Factory Reset option in CWM then it only deletes the /data partition (2GB). It doesn't delete your internal storage (12GB) (/sdcard usually) or your external memory card.
If you want to wipe your internal storage too, then go to Mounts and Storage then Format emmc. That should format your internal storage.
If you use the in-ROM options (not CWM) then: Settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset>>>>>>>>this one deletes the /data partition only (same as Wipe Data/Factory Reset in CWM)
Settings>Storage>Format USB storage>>>>>>>>this one formats your internal storage (same as Format emmc in CWM).

Aslo there was a much talked about bug which caused flies to stay even after a reset. Not followed it much but it should be there somewhere in philz thread

Yes it still stays after the reset. ..

Factory reset will NOT remove your personal files like documents, downloads, music and picture files.. however, formatting SDcard will do that.. Factory reset will wipe Data folders, Android_secure & Cache
Make sure you do that from a safe kernel e.g. a recent Philz kernel or Abyss GB Kernel so that you won't brick your phone
Some ROMs may require factory 3 times to work properly without a bootloop, I have encountered that when switching from CM10 (PA) to TW (XLS2).
I have made a flashable zip with factory reset 3 times, cache wiping 3 times, dalvick cache wiping 3 times and system format, you might want to use it before you install a new ROM
I like to note that formatting system will also NOT remove your personal files.
AGAIN, Please remember to flash a safe kernel THEN reboot recovery before you do any wipes
Best of luck
P.S. I am no expert but I learnt my way around

[Q] Miui ROM?

Right, ive rooted my note, and im looking for an iPhone type Miui theme rom, ive looked at how to install the new rom and i have no idea what to do, it says that i cant flash on stock ICS ROM, currently running 4.0.1 atm, and it also says something about Aroma Installer. i am a big newb when it comes to this, i dont wanna f**k my phone up so can someone help me and tell me what to do please?

Firstly remove the stock kernel, thats what it is referring to, So flash something safe like Philz or Hydracore.
And also, Aroma installer is something that will appear when flashing via CWM, it is a neat feature which allows you to pick and choose optional extras to install, or to remove certain things from installing.
Once it appears just follow the instructions, its simple really.

when i rooted it i changed to franko kernel? what do i need to flash Miui ROM Vengeance Note v2_4-08 09 2012? im downloading that atm

Go with something popular like philz or hydracore, it will be overwritten once the ROM installs anyway.
Make sure to do the wipes (if necessary)

so i install that kernel, then flash the rom using cwm and it says to do a wipe, how do i wipe it?

In recovery there are several options, you will need to wipe data / Factory reset, then wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
You may also need to format /system and /preload, you will find these under the mounts and storage menu

i still have no idea what to do.. all i know is when doing a new rom install in from sd card is all i know, i need an easy to understand explaination lol because what you're saying is just letters to me, if you can tell me how to do it because i dont know what im doing..

Okay, so you're completely stock now right? If so, head over to original android development section and download either philz kernel for your version (find this in settings > about phone) or hydracore kernel (this needs to be flashed with odin unless you are already rooted with Cwm recovery, if not just use philz)
Once downloaded place on your internal sd card, power the phone off, hold volume up + home + power all at once until you enter recovery.
Now select apply update from sd card or update . zip (can't remember which one) once flashed do the same procedure again, this time you will notice how different it is.
Now either mount usb storage in recovery (under mounts and storage) or reboot the phone to use mtp / mass storage.
Place MIUI rom in your internal sd card, reboot into recovery, select wipe data / Factory reset (will remove all apps and data, not media, so backup what's important before hand)
Now select wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache.
Now go to install zip from sd card, then choose zip from internal sd card, find the MIUI rom and flash it.
Once done, reboot and wait upto 10mins for it to boot properly.
Double check to MIUI thread for install instructions as you may need to format system and preload too when performing the full wipe in recovery.

oh my word...you typed all this from your phone? hoped you were using a bluetooth keyboard...

thanks azz for typing this up..definitely bookmark worthy.

How to know if encrypted or not?

I flashed a file that was supposed to disable encryption but it still shows as "encrypted" in Security settings. How can I tell if encryption is actually enabled or not?

If not encrypted you will have option "Encrypt phone" in security settings. After flashing kernel that does not enforce encryption you need to format userdata.

The Resurrection Remix ROM I'm using gave a zip to flash that was supposed to disable encryption but all I did after flashing the ROM, Gapps, and then that file was wipe the cache and then the dalvik cache. What is formatting the userdata?

flashing a file wont decrypt you. you have to decrpt yourself after flashing that file or a kernel that allows decrypting. you have to format your user data/storage, this will delete everything in your storage. only then will you be decrypted after booting up.

Connect device to a PC and use command "fastboot format userdata". This will wipe all your private stuff so backup before proceeding.

Can I do that through my TWRP recovery?

You can. It is in Wipe>Format Data section. You will have to type "yes" to confirm.

Is that all I need to do to decrypt now? Just wipe the user/data? Can I install a new kernel and not have to wipe everything?

not wipe. format. they are two differing things. and yes, as long as it allows decryption.

That worked surprisingly well. Since I've already lost all of my data, what can I wipe in order to do a full clean install of my rom? TWRP gives me the option to wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache. Your help is greatly appreciated.

to get a full real wipe.. you should wipe system and data, then reflash your rom. because when you wipe system, you wipe your rom off your phone.

Before you do that make sure that you can connect your device to PC in bootloader mode and in recovery mode (TWRP). If you wipe everything you will cut the branch you are sitting on.

Witek_M, you beat me to it. Thank you.

to be safe, ok. thats a great idea for newer folk.
but ill be honest, there are a few differing ways to get a rom onto your device from twrp. but you should downliad the rom beforehand, it wont get deleted. anyways, now you can use adb to transfer files, two differing ways. and you can just simply transfer a rom to your phone using twrp, not adb, as well.

What commands do I need to use to push the rom onto the phone?

if anything, i use adb push. but twrp has an option now to tranfer roms over to your phone as well, without using adb.

So if I put the rom's zip, gapps, etc on the phone's storage and wipe system, the rom zip file and twrp will still be usable on the phone after that?

yes. wiping system will get rid of the rom, wiping data will get rid of all your apps and data, but none of them will wipe your storage. thats in advanced wipe settings.
