is it not clearing cash and doing a factory wipe? does it mean just to flash the zip over the last rom flashed and doing nothing else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yes dirty flashing means flashing without clearing anything out.

A clean wipe is wiping cache, dalvik cache, doing a factory reset and wiping system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I'd say this is pretty dirty! :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stackz07:
Thank you. In clockworkmod recovery wiping cashe and factory reset are in the same function right? I don't have to do three different actions, just two (reset dalvik, and reset cash+factory wipe is one action that does two things) right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yes and then make sure to format /system as that is where the old ROM is installed at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Performing a factory reset wipes /cache and the dalvik cache as well, so you don't need to wipe those and then perform a factory reset, or the other way around. Doing so is really just wasting time. The same with wiping system before flashing a ROM. If the ROM isn't already doing this as part of the flash process, IMO, you shouldn't use it. If you can't setup the updater-script properly, who knows what else isn't right in the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
See, believe what you want, but there are still people who believe in wiping 3+ times.

Never hurts to make sure everything wipes correctly. Specially when you have recoveries that don't work right. Plus clockwork mod is well known for having issues with wiping. Maybe not on this phone, but in the past. I refuse to use it. Even TWRP for this phone the latest version is goofy.

Better to play it safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
I agree 100% with this.

1) You should never depend on someone else's rom doing this for you. That's not the roms job. Making sure your phone is clean and working well is YOUR job. Do it and quite being lazy.

2) While the 3+ wipe method may be overkill, most people still aren't wiping their phones properly and that's why we are seeing everyone have so many problems with 4g, gps, bootloops, etc. Just like sex, nobody wants to take the time to do it right anymore and then cry when they catch some nasty from doing it dirty.

3) I think of roms as women. If you want a flawless transition from one to another, they must never find out about each other. This means erase all proof of the previous one's existence. Everybody's 4g/gps issues would be non-existent if they would listen to what we are telling them. Going from rom to rom, always wipe internal and external storage as well as after a backup. This is because conflicting data stored on your card from the previous rom can screw with the new one.

4) I would say use common sense, but you kids these days don't seem to have any. So use mine instead. Stay away from the dirty. In life and on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yeah ibeoukdnt go so far as wiping internal and external storage....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
its like not wiping after ya poop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
Well not exactly true; I don't think anyone wants the residue after a poop; but plenty of folks would like the residue data (contacts et all) after a flash :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
if you look at it that way yes, but thats not my point. dirty flashing is ok when upgrading from lets say beans build 7 to build 8, long as the base has not changed. other than that a full wipe is recomended when flashing or your device might develop a stinch and discomfort, causing force closes. apps and contacts can easily be backed up with google or tibu, so there is no reason not to wipe before changing roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jake21:
What exactly is considered the same base? The kernel version or something else? I.e, lets take cleanrom as an example (which is what I currently use). If we look at the files in cleanrom (via unzip -l) at what point can we determine that the 'base' has changed ?

(I understand your point; it still myths me that different versions use different file structures for caches/data; I mean I understand how it could happen but for some reason I thought he root branches were all the same for android which would imply the data files/format would be largely the same; pity there is not some sort of auto versoning of the data on disk so that when the app loads it if the version was inappropriate it could just kick it out).

You mean this line:

or this line

Rebuilt: Complete rebuild from N7105XXDMA8 International Base!

4.2.5 is from:

Rebuild: Complete rebuild off the international N7105XXDLL4 Base

but also

International N7105XXDLL7 Jellybean 4.1.2

So would that imply that 4.5 and 4.2.5 have different bases or same base (since they are both off of 4.1.2) ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Yes they would be different bases since they have different build numbers. There will be a lot of revisions on the same Android version (in this case 4.1.2) however it is recommend to clean flash in the different builds even if Android version stays the same.

I'll add that I personally always clean flash. With a good backup app, I use titanium backup pro, it literally takes less then 10 minutes to be fully back up after a flash

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Formatting multiple times to make sure it formatted properly? If you go to clean install the OS on your computer, do you format the HDD 3 times as well? Same principle, different device. If it doesn't format properly the first time, what makes you think doing it again will format it? If it doesn't format properly, it's going to give you an error in recovery, and trust me, recovery will complain when there is a problem, even if it is a minor one. Feel free to continue formatting /system before flashing a ROM, and wiping everything 20 times, but I'm trying to prevent people from wasting their time and continuing with the mis-information of needing to "wipe 3 times"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
you can restore apps just not app data....use google to sysnc and restore contacts. its really not that difficult.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

agreed! thats why guide simply states to wipe data then flash rom...no extra bs is required. in my gs3 guide i do infact have instructions stating to wipe system but that was just to make a few folks happy that kept insisting it was needed. either way it does no harm, so yea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wyckedfunk:
I'm always worried when it comes to the sd card.. alot of important info (no not porn).. I cant afford to lose. . Yes it's backed up on my comp. too .. what's the method to use to wipe sd but not lose anything.. if wiping is the same as formatting then yes I know not to do this.. thanks .. apologies if this sounds like nonsense. .

making a note for the 2nd time in Samsungs Galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Actually I always do a 7 pass format on computers. A basic formatting does not format the whole drive it only formats enough to break links to data. All the data is still there and can be recovered and reread either by the new OS or someone with an external reader and recovery software. I'll be honest I am not sure exactly what level of formatting the recoveries do but it can't be much with how fast it is. While formatting a few times over won't change how it formatted your still writing more and more random data.

I only adopted this because I have had phones that just doing a simple factory reset formatting has left me with bugs. Actually it was so bad on that phone that a 10 pass wipe flash able zip was made.

Apparently an extra 30 seconds playing it safe is such a huge waste of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Rezound clean wipe for the win haha I hear both sides of the story. Idk Rezound Def needed extra formatting. This phone I wipe 1-3 times mainly for peace of mind. I :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yeah the rezound too. I was actually referring to the HTC Thunderbolt. I guess that might have been more of an HTC problem. Old habits die hard though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Uh....lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Sammy devices do not need all the extra wiping bs...so those rules don't apply. Like I said previously, I only added format system to my gs3 instructions because I had a couple former rezound owners argue that it was needed...I knew better, just didn't want to argue and it does not hurt anything, just the fact its redundant. Best advice I can offer is to take everything you learned about HTC devices for the most part and flush it down the toilet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Right.

We aren't dealing with ntfs or fat32 here. This is ext4. I challenge just one of you promoting wiping 234235 times to wipe just once and pull a single piece of useful data off the device.

In addition, we aren't preparing the devices to be wiped clean to meet or exceed DoD standards. One wipe is sufficient on any device or hard drive if the purpose is to reinstall. The space is cleared and nothing crops up like a phantom to haunt your current install. The install will overwrite the already extremely hard to get to data remnants.

Yeah thats the exact proxy i am using..What rom are you on?Because i also thought maybe if i flashed a custom rom it wouldnt cause me any more trouble.Because i really like this phone and i want to keep it but im so ready to trash it because of the Data speeds...I talk on my phone maybe 10mins out of a whole day and the rest of the time i use it for internet..

Every time I place a call it connects, but if the screen turns off it will not turn back on. I have to battery pull to end a call or the other person has to hang up. not terrible if all my calls get picked up but if it goes to voicemail there is no way to stop it. I started having this problem about a month ago, did not exist before. I originally was using cleanrom and used power button to end calls to get around this but am now on CM10 and having the same issue. I don't have the power button option this time. I haven't been able to find anyone with a similar problem and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this one. any ideas?

Disregard this question. I found that it was the type of screen protector I was using.

Im stuck! have been using this phone for a while, when , official ICS update showed up. Ofcourse i instaled it, and few more official updates.

But phone feels kinda lagy, so i wanted downgrade back to GB, but i cant install eny rom, have tried difrent official Gb roms, ICS roms, but nothing!

And since my FW version is B928 i cant root it, via changing the recovery img...

Any suggestions? realy wana go back to GB

Thanks!

Sorry for bad english!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxke:
I cannot downgrade to GB either. It sais update unsuccesful.. However you could probably do it though, by first bricking your phone and then installing GB doing a force update (actually downgrade :)). That's what once worked for me. found it out randomly.. But it's tricky: To do this, you must try to update your phone to another firmware; let's say another version of ICS, found on the Huawei site. And at the end of the update you're phone will try to reboot. While this is happening, the screen of ur phone will show the huawei logo as well as the android logo, one by one. When you see this, quickly take out the battery of your huawei. And then, when you put it back in, you'll see that ur huawei is bricked. Now, perform your force update with GB, found on the huawei site. This time it shouldn't fail!
