[Q] How do I wipe everything but recovery?

I messed up my WiFi somehow and a factory reset doesn't fix it.
Is there anyway to wipe absolutely everything but my recovery and a ROM/Gapps to flash?

you either put it there while you booted into your current rom. or you sideload it using adb commands or all in one toolkit from bootloader

Did you flash kernels after you installed the ROMs? Looks like a kernel issue to me.

i doubt it
did you wipe data,cache,davlik before you flashed
one more thing download rom manager and use the fix permissions script included in the app

I had this problem, But i wiped everything and flashed Android Revo 10 again and it worked again.

it wont wipe my rom rar file? in old days it does..

no. it will only wipe user data,app data,and apps you have installed.
but if this is your first time using 4.2 you should backup your sd card to your computer and after you flash the rom and boot up boot back to recovery and wipe your sd card then reboot and restore backup from computer or you will think it wiped everything but it just moves things around for multiuser support

[Q] Installing CM9 on X8 (require guide)

Hello and sorry if I asked this on the wrong section.I just made this account hours ago.
Anyway...
I have successfully installed MiniCM9 but unfortunately I have "No Service" problem.
I searched through the web and find out that it might be sim lock or something.
I used "msm7227_semc" to unlock my bootloader so that probably the problem.
So I reset my phone with Sony PC Companion.
I want to reinstall CM9 but It might happen again.
So can someone please guide me through the installation and give me link for file I need because I have no idea if I'm using the right file.
Thank you.

I believe it's on the 1st post of the rom and kernel (the steps).
Here's the short version:
1. Go to recovery
2. Full wipe, cache, etc
3. Flash correct kernel
4. Format system cache data
5. Flash rom
Why ics though?

Nexus 6 factory reset

I am running JDX 3.0.4 preview 3. Running the latest twrp. How would I erase everything on the phone ? Because when i usually flash a new rom i do a factory reset and wipe and everything. But all my pictures and data are still there.

factoey reset doesnt touch your storage. it deletes all your installwd apps and data from the rom, thats all. if you want to wipe your storage, you can do that as well, but whats the point if all you are doing is flashing roms? plus, google backs up your settings data and wallpaper.

In TWRP use Wipe>Format Data. Read the warning then type in "yes". Are you selling N6?

If you have encryption enabled, you have to wipe EVERYTHING, including internal storage.

Sorry didn't read the part where you said you got a "No OS installed" message, so you were already able to completely remove cm.
It sounds more like you're using the wrong zip or something, maybe try redownloading the zip ?

Tried with different versions of miui but no luck

Trying unmounting the /system partition before you flash it. Solved it for me anyway.

That's what happens when you wipe system. The issue seems to be that he does not know how to get the ROM zip into internal storage after messing with TWRP wipe.

You might as well just manually wipe data, system and cache in the advanced menu.
Reboot back into TWRP and drag the file into your internal storage to flash. Or you can just adb sideload the rom.
If you're trying to put your ROM in via booting up android, it's not going to work because you've already wiped the system, hence no OS.

It should mount usb by default, at least for me.
If not, go to mount -> mount USB storage to manually mount it.

I used to have a problem with encryption on a MIUI rom, and no matter what I did, flashing only system or anything other than a full wipe including internal storage didn't do anything. Thought he had the same problem

He does have the same problem. However his dilemma now after doing a full wipe is that he does not know how to put stuff in his internal storage without booting into system.
