wipe

I'm about to finish this rooting process to put a custom rom on my brothers phone, but I want to be sure he won't lose all of his data if I do the ESPRIMG.zip update...I'm just trying to play it safe before he hates me for losing all his data :) If anyone can verify this for me, I'd greatly...

Hiya So I've got my new battery for the phone today, says it's 1600mAh even tho I doubt it, but as the stock is 1230mAh should I wipe battery stats when I've charged the 1600mAh battery to max or will there be no real difference? Also, is there an app to see how much mA your battery packages...

Hello xda-community, I wasn't able to find someone with the same problem, that is why I describe it here. I chose not to post it to the cyanogenmod forums, since I'm not sure if it is cyanogenmod related. I was running cyanogenmod 6.1 on my G1 in Germany for quite a while and everything was...

Is there a touchwiz version of the Bionix 1.2 that wipes? I only see a no-wipe version in the dev thread. Thanks in advance.

This is a Noob question, if I wipe data and cache 3 times with CWM and then restore a backup created just before with CWM doesn't it put back all the stuff that I tried to wipe for clean ROM flashing? Or is there garbage in there that does not get backed up and restored? Thanks.

I was a bit hesitant to flash originally, due to the large number of threads that talked about getting one's Android ID or IMEI wiped clean. But as I go back and scan the threads, they are all from more than a couple months ago. I never saw a definitive answer about what causes you to lose...

I am getting nonstop "the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly," and wanted to take the opportunity to start over with a new ROM. I have CWM installed, which should help, but I am trying to drop the new ROM zip to the internal memory via a USB connection with my computer to no...

After you guys wipe your Dalvik, do you check to see if it's been completely wiped? What about the paper, do you look at the paper to see how much you've wiped, and if you need to wipe again? What if your Dalvik is very very dirty? Should you bust out some baby wipes, or even, get in the...

I've searched, but most of the posts are either asking "how to wipe it via adb" and then the thread gets sent into a different direction, and isn't directly answering my question. I have an update.zip that just does all my wipes in one click, rather than having to wipe data/cache, then system...

As I'm curious I'd like to know which partitions does a full rom flash (PDA, MODEM, CSC, Re-partition) in Odin re-writes? Of course I know the /efs-folder won't be erased if you've got unmarked the efs clear -checkbox (and if so, does it get backed-up and restored during the backup?), but do...

I'm installing a ROM, and it says to do a full wipe THAN install. If I make a Nandroid than do a full wipe, will it delete the Nandroid?

I did a root to my HTC desire using unrevoked v3.21 and than v3.22 and now i can't wipe data, can't wipe cache and can't install roms. I have HBOOT v.0.93.0001 as soon as i go to recovery i get: clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7 E:can't find MISC: E:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command E:can't find...

I flashed the .zip to fix hardware locked vibrants that cannot use their buttons to access recovery but have needed to flash back to jk2. Does Eugene's jk2 wipe this ,zip flash again? EDIT: Sorry, forgot to change tabs from development to general. Mods, please move. Thank you.

Got a messaging (sms) thread containing close to 12,000 texts. Need to delete them all, but its impossible with any application as they all freeze. I've tried everything. Is it possible to wipe only my sms messages (don't want to wipe my whole phone)? I don't mind wiping app data, so I didn't...

As the title states, I have lost my internal memory after install of 1.3 OC Kernel and AXURA Vibrant Edition ▼△ [Devs4Android][2.0.5] ROM. I had the ROM installed with the Voodoo lag fix but I was having issues with certain areas so I figured to flash with 1.120 B_STOCK Kernel. I later saw a...

I cannot get my phone past clockwork recovery screen, whenever I choose any option on the screen it just goes black. The lights stay lit up and nothing happens. I have waited for about 10 mins for any signs of life and any help would be appreciated!

i don't want to loose any of my data or apps, but i want to have a new ROM. i'm just wondering if the wipe option is necessery when loading your new Rom on your device?

Now that I am enjoying my first ROM, I am getting ready to re-wipe and flash in my second ROM attempt as I taste some different flavors of new OS. My question is, will I lose the contents of my SD on a rewipe? Even more in detail, will I lose apps that I was able to save to SD with my current...

I have been running a variety of ROMS for a few months now without issue. Each time, I wipe data, then cache, and then sometimes dalvik. I fear there is still some data SOMEWHERE causing me the following problem: For the past two weeks, I cannot change my keyboard on any ROM. I press and...

I have had this Samsung Vibrant for a couple months. I have a good number of apps and did the one click lag fix sometime ago. Recently, I had experienced a bunch of force closes and overall bugginess. My Pure Calendar widget stopped loading. I emailed the developer. He had me send him the...

Here's a weird one. I am not trying anything complicated. I just want to copy some music to my new 32GB external SD card that arrived in the post today. I put it into a microSD to SD adaptor, and slide it into my laptops SD slot. It shows up as fat32 and I drag 30 gigs of music on to it. After a...

Hey guys is there a way to upgrade from SREv1.3d to the new cognition without losing my apps and settings? I was on a stock rooted JF6, then saw how easy it was to load SRE and loaded that for the mobile ap and built in lagfix, now Cognition that includes the JH7 GPS fix seems like the best bet...

Hello, I am itching to install CyanogenMod on my Nexus One, but I am holding out for 6.1 so that I can take advantage of A2SD functionality, since from what I've gathered it would make me have to totally wipe my phone twice (initially to install to 6.0 and then again once 6.1 comes out). Is...

I got the Zenpap 4 Tablet, my basic problem is that I can't connect it to my PC check it with another PC and have the same problem. Windows doesn't recognize the device tried to install many different drivers but with the same result, windows don't recognize the device and say's that the it's...

Does the phone or google account have a registry of which apps have you bought so if you do a full wipe you can redownload them again? Or if you wipe/update your phone do you have to repay them?

So i was tired of wiping the phone everytime i removed an unused widget. so i exported all the /data/data and found the database that keeps it. /data/data/com.htc.launcher/databases/launcher.db all you need to do is download sqlite browser from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/...

Hi everyone, I am having strange battery issues. When the phone is switched on and charging, it charges very quickly (an hour or so). But it also discharges just as quickly - I talk on the phone for 30 minutes, and battery indicator is already on 3/4th green. Maximum time I can get out of it is...

after rooting and flashing ROMS, im confused on somethings. When flashing a new ROM do you ALWAYS have to wipe? Also, when you make a Nandroid back up, wipe and flash a new ROM, can you restore from that backup so you dont have to download all your apps//set up your screens all over again...

I'm sorry, but Froyo is insanely slow. I've been running Cyanogen 5.0.6, wiped everything including Dalvik cache, partitioned a 96mb swap space after an SD card format, switched to Froyo with the new radio, and have been using it for two days. I want to throw my nexus at a wall. First off, why...

Hi, This is probably a n00b question but I am going to ask anyway. I want to do the following: First time I install new Custom Rom I register with a google account and download apps from market. So after downloading some 60 apps I want to unregister my google account and remove my default...

Hi, I got a tip about Live wallpapers on milestone, so i eagerly tried out the recipe. It consisted of moving some *.so files, some apk files and a framework.jar file. While in the middle of transferring the .so files my launcher2 (port from nexus 2.1) stopped working, and was force closing...

First off, happy holidays to the XDA community! So, I've done the math and realized that I've flashed over 100 ROMs (yes, that is including updates) over the past year+. My phone is running really sluggish, no matter the ROM nowadays. Looking around my phone's internal storage, I notice a lot...

I, as many other people do not update to CyanogenMod because the need to do a "wipe data/factory reset". I have lots of applications installed that have stored information and I cannot lose the data. Could you make everything possible to prevent having to do a "wipe data/factory reset" or at...

Hi All, I was running TheOfficial TMO DRC92 - EU v2.1.2. Then i decided to switch back to CyanogenMod because the calendar issue seemed solved (CyanogenMod v4.2.3.1). Using the instructions posted here: http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3 It went wrong where...

I am using the Switchrom script with CY recovery. I have successfully made backups and switched between roms using the script. Now I want to try the new Drizzy Hero rom. To install the rom I will have to wipe the ext3 partition. My question is, If I wipe the ext3 partition, will I loose the...

I've searched a few times and can't really find much on this, but I'm about to root my G1 (the T-Mobile version) and that means fully wiping it. I've got a few apps including open home and SNesoid on there that are paid for and linked to a gmail account I'm wanting to get rid of. When I...

Ok, how do I know if an installation was done correctly? I followed these steps: 1. Link to PC again and remove the current update.zip you just used 2. Download the latest "Ion" ROM (trust me on this one; it's Cupcake but much faster) from here...
