So I'm trying to clean flash a ROM and I want to wipe Cache, Dalvik, System and Data, but TWRP reboots every time and doesn't finish the wipe. And nothing gets wiped.
I tried only a cache + dalvik, but nada. Instant reboot to my home screen.
Tried TWRP 3.0.2.1 and 3.1.0.0 both, same issue.
Ideas?
Solved it. Went back to the May update via fastboot & rerooted + TWRP (latest). Done and dusted.
Mods may close this thread.
Same problem here. Any solution aside from flashing factory image?

I was unlocked and rooted, but still on the stock rom.
I finally got around to installing the Alien rom and I was greeted with this message after install.
When I go to update it force closes. Its showing 3.0-beta2 as the latest version but force closes when it goes to check installed version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you havent already done this....
Go into rom manager and run fix permissions. This can be done with Romracers CWM as well. Give that a shot and try it again.
Edit: Also did you do the full wipe routine before and after the alien rom install? Even though the ROM says its a full wipe, still do it manually before and after.
Hmm, I hadn't opened up ROM manager since this change.
It says "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su"
As far as the wipe, I did the full wipe prior, but wasn't aware of needing to do it after. So I need to wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition again?
EDIT: And of course, I can't get into Recovery Mode either. If I try to root my phone again, it says the file all ready exists?
Yes, something didnt take.
1 Wipe data/factory reset
2 Wipe cache
3 Wipe Dalvik
4 Install ROM
5 Wipe data/factory reset
6 Wipe Cache
7 Wipe Dalvik
8 Reboot
So if you reboot holding down on the volume and go into recovery it doesnt do anything?
what recovery did you use to install Alien initially? Romracers,

All right, I appreciate it. But maybe a stupid question, but since I can't get into recovery mode how do I go about doing this?
EDIT: Sorry, you got me on the edit. I wasn't thinking to go through recovery via the volume key. I was trying to go through the system recovery app. As far as which recovery I used Tenfar's Bootstrap, which reading looks like I probably shouldn't have. Thanks for your help, hopefully this will cure everything.
You are going to have to use fastboot and flash the recovery image again.

Ya once we got our bootloaders unlocked Tenfars CWM became obsolete. Just pick your favorite color from the link i posted and flash with fastboot.
Thats why you got an error, tenfars wont properly flash a rom.
Just follow that wipe routine after every rom you flash. Before and after flash
Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
I don't know, want exactly append, but i tried to access to market, it froze, reboot and since then, is in a boot loop. I can get in cwm, so i tried to wipe cache (worked), wipe delvik cache (froze & reboot), wipe data / factory reset (froze). I also tried to reflash the room (worked), and the gapps (froze & reboot). Any idea what to do?
Thanks
i'm having this prob on flashing wanamlite and neatrom latest rom. flashing is completed using cwm but when i'm goin to reboot it, it just stucked on bootanimation. i waited 20mins but still nothing happened. what could be the problem? i flashed the latest rootbox and i am able to boot no problem encountered.
Okay first of all - next time, loose the big font. I'm sure everyone who visits this forum can read totally fine.
Next, did you make a full wipe before flashing wanamlite or neatrom? (Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache)
Also after you've flashed any of the ROMs. If it gives you an option to reboot and no other option - do it. If there is an other alternative to go back to CWM - do that. Cause either way you should try to go back to CWM Recovery and from there, wipe cache and dalvik cache (again) and also set permissions. After you've done those things, reboot and it should work.
(i had same proble flashing Omega v23)
i did a clean install by philz and also the wipe data cache and dalvik but i don't go back to cwm to do that again and to fix permission, i just restarted it after installing the rom. thanks, i'll try to do what you said.
Hi,
Last night my I9300 decided to randomly reboot and get stuck in a bootloop. This morning I took the time to wipe my cache, data, etc. through CWM but it still would not boot. I did a wipe data/factory reset, wiped cache again and installed the latest AOKP nightly, but it still will not boot.
I can start the bootloader through CWM and I can also get into download mode, but it just won't boot Android.
ADB does list my device while in the bootloop, but I get a "device unauthorized" message.
I've had bootloops before and wiping cache/data/factory reset/installing a new rom always worked, but in this case I am clueless.
What can I do? Is there maybe a way to connect logcat without unauthorizing, or authorizing from CWM, or something?
Do you have the newest CWM?? Or try any other custom recovery
As above, use the latest recovery then manually format system, data, cache preload and data/media/0

How can I do this if I cannot authorize a ADB connection?
If yours recovery works flash the newest version
If not flash a stock ROM via Odin
dalvik cache

On Cwm click advance and try wiping dalvik cache if that doesn't work install your stock rom
