Before installing or flash a new rom or custom rom, It is usually done a deleted (wipe) partial or full erase (full wipe). This is done from the recovery, either CWM or TWRP. When you are installing a new rom the creator tells you to do to make everything work well.
If you want to install a new rom, copy the zip or zips into the SD before entering the recovery.
Desde o ClockWorkMod CWM Recovery:
for use, the volume keys are used + Y – and the power button to select option
– Backup and restore: Important before changing rom. a backup of your rom ago, data and everything as you before doing anything if something goes wrong then, restore and continue as tapeworms all.
– install zip from sdcard – choose zip from sdcard : You choose the ROM zip file to install the new rom.
– Wipe Data/ Factory reset: Typically always do this when you go to install a new rom. What it does is delete the data stored in the internal memory of all installed / Resets to the initial mode rom factory
– Wipe cache partition: Deletes all stored data while using the current rom
Mounts and storage
– Format SDcard: removes everything you have on your SD (never do that unless you want to clean all that you have on your external memory card).
– Format System: You remove current rom, forcing you to flash the new rom before restarting, because with this you run out of operating system.
– Format cache y Data: Deletes cache data and rom
Advanced Menu
– Wipe dalvik cache: Highly recommended to change rom, deletes files generated by applications. Usually they have to clear before changing rom.
– Wipe battery stats: Clears battery data, only required if the developer of the ROM requires it or if you want to fix bugs or calibrate the battery. If you do this option, It required to charge mobile 100% just after making it.
– Fix permissions: If you notice unexpected application closures, after you have installed the new rom, come back here and run it.
So, what, We need or we must do to make a Full Wipe or completely deleted?
wipe data/factory reset, format system, format cache y data y wipe dalvik cache.
Not all roms require a full erase, but if we do not mind losing all data on installed applications to start from scratch, It should ever do so.
very good tutorial did not know much thanks.
I entered Chinese mirecovery the MI3 and I made by mistake wipe sdcard. Now I want to install a ROM in Castilian and tells me that is not in the SD card. I do not know what to do, It is installed on the internal storage but do not recognize me.
please help!!!
Connect to PC, pasale the rom and reinstalls
Hi, how are you
inadvertently delete the wipe everything but the sd and now will not let me load any room
I have 2 Doubts.
When it has done Cache and Data Format. Are not you doing the same as a Wipe Cache Partition / Data?
Second Always in that order? Because I read elsewhere that first all Format are made and then all Wipe.
regards
1. format is completely removed, wipe is clear, cache partition parece diferente a cache en general. however looks the same, not if the difference is significant.
2. is doing the same in the order you want even more compelling format is that wipe, that's for sure
SORRY, As you can be deleted using data format, is that my cel not let me delete cache dalvik that f @ lla a little touch is a sprint lg ls980 g2 and brings rom cloudyg3 2.2 twpr recovery 2.7.0.0
the dalvik can be erased with an application as root and no need to go into recovery, test
Very good your tutorial ; I look at you install a rom a month ago my samsung fame as a week will install another I found, but I want to set you the same as you first install, but I want the current data from the last rom rom to install you are cleared to set you back again first, it does not affect you at all or if ?
usually depends on what the creator of rom, but if you do not mind crush all do a full wipe and I doubt you take
in this sense to me what I would like to know is what folders are vital when we have a backup made, that is, I keep:
android / data and android / obb and then my photos etc, and, but is there any more?
In reality applications it is very easy to install them all again with ES EXPLORER if you have the APK hand, so what more interested in the “data” applications, and that “manually” I'm not sure how it's done.
Hey I have a problem in making the wipe also remove the option Internal Storage, now my device does not turn, He says he has no operating system, You know a way to fix that. First of all, Thanks
internal storage means you have loaded your android, so you should look for a rom for flashearla and you have a new operating system
Good, I did a full wipe with my Razr HD and installing CM does not start, stays in motorola logo, and it is not the first time that you install a Rom, but if it's the first time I do a Full Wipe… which would detail?
I have no data on your phone or that use ROM or where did you get, I can not answer that would need to know many things and still do not know if you answer correctly.
Good night, has dropped a virus to my huawei Y300 that do not allow me to reinstall the ROM wipe've tried all kinds of ways to do it and the final re-initialize the ROM that has. You know any way to fix this?
I doubt that a virus can do that, wipes as to not step inside android.
instead of there not wipe format for example? all within the CWM recovery, no?
not named wipe cache partition to make full wipe before changing rom. This is because it is the same format and data cache in mounts and storage ?.
format or wipe cache is the same
I asked because I understood that the wipe cache partition is done and everyone else who you say you, except format and format data cache. I did it that way when installing lollipop, and now goes well. I recommended that you format and format data cache now, after installing the rom ?.
now no longer necessary if all goes well
K such a question I have a folder AX650 bmobile that the imei of it is
there is no folder with the imei. or you are in on the phone or with a secret code
\dataNVRAMmd5NVRAMNVD_IMEIMP0B_001
there you go. But you will not see “the number”, that's just the file containing.
Install it again is very easy with a PC program called IMEIGEN.EXE
I did, and he resurrected .
I had no idea the application imeigen, Thanks for the input
Hello
let's see, in the Chinese mobile LENOVO A806 it is different, but basically it is the same. I want to leave it as clean as possible before installing a modified ROM also, that I have in my external sd. Let me explain first and then ask
The menu is, recovery from the modified:
FACTORY RESET (wipes data, cache and dalvik, excluding Internal Storage, dice, I guess it is the internal SD, in my case, 16gb)
ADVANCED WIPE: dalvik – cache – data – internal storage – sdcard (ah because no) – system
DATA FORMAT: He says wipeará all your apps, backups, pictures, videos, media, and deletes the encryption of internal storage, and of course you can not get this action.
Actualmete I have installed the ROM, but much earlier shit, INTERNAL SD card (I repeat the external is more or less everything safely, until imei) and probably in system or internal storage (I no longer have very clear what is)
If I make a full wipe, I can install in that same session from recovery, GIVING TO INSTALL, rom I have in the external SD?
Thank you.
I answer myself because the truth is I did not feel like waiting anymore and I did not think:
IT CAN.
Do a full wipe BUT NOT THE SD CARD, remove that option (best removes the external mobile card will not be…) and effectively when you give off the recovery (the mobile we) asks you “Are you sure? look you do not have OS , OS… but nothing, you leave, open the phone you mess again SD CARD, where you have that precious rom you want to install, and now I, te vas a INSTALL , looking for the zip on sd card and install.
rom will now be installed with all wipes.
The format we leave that for later because of “remove encryption from internal storage” I do not look good.
regards
so, I have everything under control?
Hello, I keep a samsung galaxy note 4 sm n910c, I rooteado, I have made the sd partition with Partition Wizard MiniTool to move apps preinstalled with Link2SD, while accidentally they formatted sd me and you've stopped walking many apps on the phone, They have stopped running the app store, Samsung account and other. Missing google play service and want to install out a sign that says “You can not install google play service. Frees up space and try again”. Rare since story with more than 10GB of free space, from and thanks for your help.
when you install apps on the sd data folder is created and inside are all past apps. what surprises me is that you were able to move there the google play services, but in these cases, I think the best and most reliable is to format everything and be careful next time
There will be some tutorial that I can continue to restore cell, since I am inexperienced in the subject, Thank you.

Beatriz, you should go to settings and look du-speed applications, then access their properties and disable it or uninstall it directly if you can.
I can not use my gmail in play store,
I hear full wipe and did not appear the ROM in my memory and I no longer have system as you do?
for such cases it is better to go to a specialized forum in your model for how to recover, as xda or HTCMania, regards

A query Wipe Cache Partition deletes the content of external MicroSD card??
No, only cache of applications
Hello and thanks for your quick response. It happens that my Moto G 3rd Generation had failures ( He did not show the notification menu, I not receive calls despite being able to make, It did not work the waze (who had moved to the sd), did not reach whats up notifications etc.) and I did a hard reset the phone (Recovery Mode). I had recorded in the external memory micro sd wav format recordings made an application ( easy voice recorder) the default recorded in the external card. Is the first step in the recovery mode Wipe Cache Partition applied the kick and not before micro sd; but before doing the next step Wipe Data / Factory Reset, I gave me fear continue and pulled the external memory Sd. I continued the rest ( I mean the Wipe Data Factory Reset without putting micro sd) and the cell was restored to manufacture and install everything again. The problem is that when I wanted to put the card back, He did not recognize her and asked format and delete, which I did.
I tried to read the micro sd on a laptop and asks me format. I have tried to recover the original information without formatting micro sd, ie with Recuva type applications, Wordershare data recovery, Card Recovery Data, etc, but only recovers folders and partitions little relevant information.
The only thing I would perhaps try to format it and then retrieve the information, but I fear. You think the Cahe Wipe Partition has entered the external Sd when I walk into the internal memory first? . You think my data may be even in the micro sd? or perhaps they came from or were generated by an application that was installed in the phone memory has derived a foray into micro sd to touch the information created by this application?
Perhaps this whole problem would have saved me pulling out before doing anything the micro sd.
Please your comments and thank you very much.
What could be is that maybe when removing the hot SD is damaged and then to get her back no longer going, when that happens always ask the sd format that detects that it is not formatted to break.
I can assure a cache wipe does not erase any of the sd, and I myself have done on several occasions.
For what you say, I sd think that nothing can not be recovered, and in fact, I would buy another and no longer would trust me that.
Hi I did wipe system but had not gotten the sd card. after inserting it did not recognize so eventhough restart warning. Now only it stays on the screen manufacturer and does not allow me access back to the recovery menu. It is a xperia sp. what can I do now, Tell me if you need more data.
if you do not have system, You should enter the service mode or bootloader to charge rom nuevo.Has done something?
Cell battery to run out now on and displays only the manufacturer Pantala, sony bone, but from there now does not change. It does not allow me access anything from the cell. As I access the service mode if the cel cel no longer allowed from the same cell? I can access from a computer? as?
Here you will find how to do it, you have to enter the mobile Flashmode, no recovery and do what it says

Hello,
I have a xiaomi mi5 with miui version 7.2.8.0.0 and I have seen that is the version 8 official since the ROM that comes installed unpolished comes with many things in English and 8 You have improved and can select Spain in Local mode. By giving no update makes version.
My question is I've seen download the zip officially and put it in the folder can then choose within press update package updates and choose to automatically update set. The problem is that I read that MI5 has locked bootloader and to do a wipe all but I have also seen that if the official ROM nothing happens I can do as I say without wipe or unlocking the bootloader.
How can I do?
Thank you
From the website of miui, get off the global version http://en.miui.com/download-299.html and you do what it says on its web
you also have this other manual https://androidphoria.com/tutoriales/tutorial-instalar-rom-oficial-xiaomi
