So..
AFter couple of tries i have to ask you guys : how to fully wipe my phone after and before flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
I did wipe data/factory reset in CWM but internal memory is still there... So it was not full wipe.. Although when i flashed rom i got that initial setup, but internal memory was intact...
So, how to do full wipe before and after flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
Thanks in advance

a full wipe is formatting system, data and caches not sure if odin formats system

Hi, to make things easier for you. Download Zoot's Super Wipe Script at the Android Development Section. It's a few pages back but it's worth a look
Was searching for Zoot's Super Wipe Script at Android development.. Cant find it...
p.s. and if i do full wipe before and after flashing rom, wouldn't that erase my rom because of system wipe ?

To answer your question, yes it will. And do a full wipe BEFORE not after flashing a ROM.
Here's the link for the script. Merry Christmas!

Thanks mate !!
But one more thing i have to ask you :
If i do full wipe with script before flash (including system wipe) would i be able to flash 4.1.2 via odin then ?? I mean, ive heard that it is only firmware update.. Thanks again
Are you trying to go back to stock? Or flash a custom ROM? Sorry, didn't get you there.

Im on 4.1.2 french stock dll4 atm.. And i have pinch to zoom lag when zooming pictures.. A lot of ppl told me to do full wipe and then flash again 4.1.2 dll4 via odin and it will go away... I did wipe (without wiping system) before flash... And it is there again... So ppl told me to do wipe before and after flash..
So, im trying to do full wipe, flash 4.1.2 again via odin, then wipe after flash...

Ah. You will be able to flash it via Odin. But do not wipe or use the suoer wipe script AFTER. Just do it before flashing. Use the Mega Wipe from the AROMA of Zoot's script.
But be aware, it will erase your internal SD card as well so move every important thing to the external.

i have been trying to change roms for the past week ! and they seem to flash but when done loading the rom changed but all my old apps and contacts are there nothing changed really but the name of the rom and boot screens ! ive formatted everything i could think of and still ending up w the same result can anyone help ? ive tried miui b4 the roms were not working.... and now im on mik roms working fine ! but i wanna try virtuous rom but cant !
i guess my question is what can i do to fix this problem ! ^^
thank you!
In CWM, did you clear dalvik, and factory reset/clear data?
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
i didnt try factory reset ill try that but could there be anyhting else ?
I don't think so. It should be a few slots down from install zip from SD card.

You need to factory reset in CWR. Also wipe data and cache.

Isn't that the same thing??
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
The reason for this is your not doing the "wipe data/facory reset" which will keep all your apps etc.
you should always wipe data/factory reset when switching between roms.
If your going from cm7 nightlie 80 to cm7 nightlie 81 then no you wouldnt need to do this.
I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (well i personally wipe them twice) when flashing roms.
hmm ok will try later on tonight ! thanks for the replies ! just to get it straight factory data reset then wipe data dalvik and cache ? and then switch rom ?

First make a backup of your current setup through Rom manager or Clockwork Recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, then wipe dalvick cached. Then install rom from sdcard and find file.
I check the md5sum of Roms on my computer also, to make sure they downloaded in their entirety and aren't corrupted. There is a md5 checker for pc on cnet and you can do it through terminal on Mac.
Please see OX's thread for more info.

once you have the ROM on your sd card (should check it when you have it on the sd card) you can use AFV to check the md5sum from your phone.

Hello guys, I would like to know how to update my ROM using dalvik cache? I have Foxhound ROM 0.3 and i would like to install the 0.4. Can anyone help me ?
Hi Mate
You don't update using the Dalvik Cache. The Dalvik Cache is just something that is best to clear before an update.
In order to flash a new ROM there are a few things you need to have set up on your computer and phone and they are well detailed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
Read the above thread and find out what has already been done. I think your phone will be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted already. If so flash the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod CWM and then just download the ROM you want and store it on your phone. Once done you will be able to use the above link to easily write it to your phone using CRM and the Flash Update from SD Card Option.
Hope this helps.

Ummm. he doesn't have to read that thread..
Just simply download the ROM
Put it on your phone's storage
Boot into CWR
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Flash ROM
[OPTIONAL] Flash Kernel (if you used one a custom kernel)

If you flash another rom, will your apps be wiped as well? And if you flash an update from the same rom? Just back-up with Titanium or? Thanks.

+1 :good:
Note to OP: Don't flash Gapps if it is included already in the ROM you installed.
after flash i wipe the cache/dalvik. I think it is the option after you flash in twrp.
Thanks for your answers
Hi all, I had flashed successfully before but wanted to flash to a JB rom. I wiped and flashed, but then it just keeps looping the Samsung load screen, then I see the loading bar... and it reboots and goes back to the loading bar... Did I mess something up? Or is it suppose to do this the first time?
Sometimes it gets as far as the t-mobile 4G screen and the loops back again...
Thanks
What did you wipe?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
And what did you wipe with?
If you used an older clockwork mod recovery, you probably need to update your recovery or get one of the updated wipe scripts on this forum.

I tried to flash Infamous S2 as well as Jedi Mind Trick. After more reading, I also flashed the "wipe" zip file that was linked. After I flashed that clean wipe, all is well. For some reason when I did the usual wipe wipe (with CWM), stuff probably didn't get over written.
All is well and working smoothly now with Jedi Mind Trick

it's a combination of how partition gets accessed vs custom recovery(in this case type of wipe) that cause that bootloop.
Provided you didnt have a bad download(.zip bein flashed) If it's a custom ROM suffice to say u need Darkside super wipe.
Unless its a stock (modded) ROM then Infamous super wipe is the way to go.
Hit thanks if/when it helped.
I am currently on T-Mobile JB stock obtained from Kies. I then odined TWRP 2.5 and rooted. Now when I wipe data/factory reset in TWRP before flashing AOKP/CM do I also need to wipe preload? I made two backups in TWRP: One with preload and one without.
