First off if you're on ANY recovery that isn't CWM 5.0.2.7 you DO NOT NEED TDJS SUPER WIPE OR CACHE WIPE SCRIPTS!!!! Seriously stop flashing these people you're filling up threads with problems caused by both of these scripts and bad flashing methods. Here's how to PROPERLY flash a ROM..
If on CWM 6.0.x.x
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )
If you're on a Cyanogenmod nightly a full wipe IS NOT REQUIRED. The proper method of dirty flashing is just wiping cache, ( NOT FORMAT CACHE IN MOUNTS & STORAGE )
wiping dalvik and flashing your ROM. Simple as that.
If using TWRP 2.2+ the steps are essentially the same or use TDJs wipe scripts. They work perfectly fine with TWRP. Feel free to wipe 2x or even 3x if it makes you feel safer about your installation.
And THAT'S IT. People are cluttering up threads with issues than can totally be avoided by flashing the right way. I hope this helps some of you iron out these insane tiny quirks I keep reading about.
Happy flashing folks.
EDIT:
I forgot to note.. if you're still using one of TDJs roms or any other rom that automatically wipes with TDJs SUPER CACHE WIPE, do NOT use any other recoveries other than CWM 5.0.2.7 or TWRP 2.2+. With any other recovery such as CWM 6.0.x.x+, the wipe script breaks the roms ability to reboot properly and the only way to solve this is to use TDJs CACHE WIPE which in turn breaks your recoveries ability to work properly.

Thanks man this was needed. Yes threads get filled with this so often. I dirty flash like you mentioned accept I format system first. I also clean flash like you mentioned but never formatted cache and dalvik just system. That's good to know. Thanks
But I will add those new steps. I format system when dirty flashing because on the cm10 Site they mentioned that.
Again thanks

Sad we need to keep telling people how to flash. If you are not sure what you are doing I think you should be very careful before you destroy your expensive toy. Everyone should have an idea on how to flash and restore from a bad flash before they even root. Also as my sig says let Google be your friend people if you run into issues instead of running to a thread and clogging it up...
Thanks for post and this is a bump to keep it on page 1 and hopefully more people will notice it.
So I messed up and used the darkside scripts with 6.0.1.4 and I can't get my phone to boot, like you mentioned. It also destroyed the recovery, does nothing at all. What can I do, if anything, to fix?

Can you boot into recovery at all? If you can.. download the TWRP 2.2.2.0 zip in its thread and flash it. Its going to hang in the install process but should say twrp has been installed. At that point reset your phone by holding the power button. As soon as you feel the phone vibrate hold down both volume buttons and you should boot into TWRP recovery.

Darkside superwipe will only mess your ROMs ability to reboot on touchwiz ROMs. The only way to fix this is flashing the darkside cache wipe which WILL break clockwork mod 6.0.1.4 like the user above. Point is.. don't use either scripts at all on CWM. Wipe the old fashioned way.

I agree. even after switching to twrp I still find the script useful. But op warning about using script with cwm version 6xxx might be true. I have issue with boot when i was on cwm 6 and i had to Odin cwm 5.0.2.7 again to get into recovery menu.

Luckily enough, TWRP does this in the wipe section already when you hit system, cache and dalvik. Its an awesome and well thought out recovery!

Agree.
Sub'n.
I just followed this and it answers many questions. I have great luck with CWR 5.0.2.7 and the darkside scripts. Everytime I had an issue, I would run the darkside cache script and all was fixed.
Now, since I upgraded CWR, I have had issues installing ROMS, bad recovery installs, etc. Just as you mentioned.
Got a new phone today. Flashed an odin CWR (didn't know the version). It turned out to be an older touch version. I CWR flashed the latest Sk8's recovery. I then followed your instructions. Installed JB ROM and Gapps and it was a success. Not boot loop.
Questions: What do I do if I want to wipe cache and dalvik or fix permissions in the future? What radio is recommended with the latest JB nightly?

Just go into CWM and wipe cache in the main menu and dalvik in the advanced menu. To be honest though you don't need to do this whatsoever. Only when dirty flashing a new nightly. In my experience atleast lol as far as gapps go..

Have you tried.
Downloading rom again?
Are you doing a full wipe before installing?
Trying a Cache wipe using the darkside flash?

Are you flashing anything with it, a kernel? or a mod?
Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.
On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:
Open CWM
Backup
Install Darkside SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Install Darkside Cachewipe
Reboot
Wait 10 min
Reboot.
While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.
If there's a process can someone please tell me.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Vital? You don't need a super wipe. And you only need the cache wipe if you're using CWM5. If you don't know how to properly wipe..
1. Wipe Factory data reset
2. Wipe cache
3. go into mounts and storage
4. Wipe system
5. Wipe data
6. Wipe cache
7. Go to advanced
8. Wipe dalvik cache
Simple eh? Is this your first device? Super wipe scripts are very uncommon. Better that you learn how to do it the old fashion way for your next handset than rely on a shortcut.
But... if you insist. Google the derek jay source forge. Its in there in dark side tools. There's a reason he discontinued them.

I haven't had the need to look into using another recovery and still to this day I am content with my current recovery.
What am i missing out on that could make this device even better to what it already is?
If anyone would like to know my flashing method is:

TDJ superwipe x4
Flash rom x1
Flash Gapps x1
Reboot wait 10mins

Flash Cache wipe x1

Ugh.. just stop. Please. They both function and work perfectly well. Yes TWRP has a few features that can make flashing easier for the lazy, such as file queuing but to say that it's way better is a lie when they both function exactly the same. I'm tired of everyone badmouthing CWM and saying it has issues when the issue is the user himself, not the recovery. I've been using CWM for 3 years now, across 6 different phones. It's reliable and works perfectly well.
/end rant
Like I stated clearly in my thread, follow my flashing method and DON'T USE ANY DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE OR CACHE WIPE SCRIPTS!! Can't make that any clearer. Refer to the thread. I fully explain why in it.
ALTHOUGH... If you're going to flash TDJs Darkside ROM don't use any version of CWM other than 5.0.2.7. (TDJs ROMs automatically wipe with the darkside superwipe)
If that is the case use TWRP. Here's a copy of TWRP 2.3.0.0 I've uploaded to my dropbox for you.
http://db.tt/6lVWyHhD
Just flash it through CWM and reboot into recovery, then go ahead and use the darkside cache wipe once or twice then flash the rom. They work with TWRP for some strange reason.

Installed EL29 direct boot or EL26 stock
cleared cache, davlik and run Format_All_X2
Installed JB modem

run Format All X2 again
A couple of files might be different depending on the ROM instructions, but that's what I've been doing.

You are wiping system right after flashing rom so there is no system and thus you don't boot.

Its not a suggestion. Its your FIX. It wipes system. I hope you are not confusing format all x2 zip with modified_format all zip. The modified zip wipes only the caches.
As such there is NO need to wipe after flashing the ROM..
Are you following the directions on the OP of each ROM?
If not... do it, that is how you fix your problem.
