Every rom i want to install it says to:

wipe data factory reset

format/system

format/data

So i was wandering when i do a factory reset it wipes data and cache (this is what it says) so is that both caches'? the normal cache and dalvik cache?

Also if I do Wipe/System is this the same as: doing "format/system" or doing "Wipe System under mounts and storage" in CWM?

And if this is true does wiping the system do everything factory reset does and then some? Sorry for the long post. and thanks for the help! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:
When you do a factory reset, it wipes data, cache, and dalvik cache. The only thing it doesn't wipe is system. However, any rom dev (and by that, I mean any good one) will have their rom wipe system when you install it. So, in essence, all you need to do is a factory reset, and then flash the rom. Happy flashing!

When you are doing a backup, there are 6 settings - I'm trying to find out, which of the 6 should be checked off. Currently I have a check in; System, Data & Boot. Unchecked are; Recovery, Cache & android_secure. Is this how it should be?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:
Those settings are perfect for the majority of backups you do. Cache usually isn't needed as it can be rebuilt easily, and android_secure resides on your SD card, so unless you're formatting SD, you're fine. I've personally never found a reason to backup recovery, but you can if you want.

it should install A then B the only reason you go back to zip B's location is because it always defaults back to the last folder location accessed (hope that made sense)

I installed this on my I-727 last night and made two compressed backups. Today I was messing with some thing and Google play stopped installing downloads so I used a backup up to reinstall data and got it working again. The process was so simple and flawless even being a noob to this recovery. I was using CWM with no issues and didn't know this recovery is what I really wanted until I tried it out. It so so much nicer IMHO. It's much quicker in operation,simple and intuitive we'll laid out and a joy to use. Great work on this awesome recovery devs, and thank you!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
Quick question, I was trying to return to stock via odin. So i wanted to format system. I did. Then when i tried to power off the device so I could get into download mode it said are you sure you want to turn off the device and I swiped to confirm. Then it looked like it was going to power off but then the terminal said (this is coming from memory) preventing you from rebooting since there is no OS. This would be fine but it seemed like I couldn't do anything after this, like twrp froze. I couldn't go back and flash something. So I pulled the battery. So my question is, is this a bug? Is there a way to format system and turn off the phone? Or even better a way to go straight into download mode from twrp? Or should I just pull the battery? Maybe a button combination?

I was on TWRP v 2.2.0

Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
Im kinda confused with this one you dont need to format to use odin when you return to stock with it it will delete everything it needs to. Just plug your phone into computer go into download mode and use odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
Really? When I first flashed stock I got a boot loop because I didn't do a factory reset... I believe Vincom says if your on a custom rom/recovery to do a full wipe data, cache, system. So I did all that then when I tried to turn the phone off trwp wouldn't let me turn off the phone or let me do anything so I pulled the battery. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
are you talking about where it says If Using Cwm Perform A Data/factory Reset, Format: System, Data And Cache, And Clear The Partition And Dalvik Caches, Do That To All Of Them 3 Times Each. Because thats only if you have a problem with the reseting to stock just a way that might fix things if you have a problem but you shouldnt have any problems just using odin in download mode without the factory reset. Since im guessing twrp doesnt want you to shut down with no os in fear that you wont be able to get back to recovery.

Thanks for confirming that this was only if you have problems, then there is no problem with TWRP except for the fact it seemed to freeze when trying to power off with no os. Maybe a bug? maybe it is fixed in 2.2.2.0?

is 2.3 a test version ?? or it is as stable as 2.2.2.0 already. sorry i am a noob . i use 2.2.2.0 no problem . so this one will better support the jb rom flash or the same as 2.2.2.0. thanks for anyone to answer my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
If these changes pertain to you then its not bad to update to the latest. If you're perfectly fine with yours and have absolutely no problem then theres no need to update :P

Pretty sure all major releases would be more stable but you can always test it out yourself, if it only had minor changes you would probably have see 2.2.3 or something for that matter.

What's new in 2.3.0.0:

Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
Faster boot times
Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)

While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.

Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
