When downloading a custom rom and the dev says wipe data/cache thats when im in recovery right? I see the options but do i do the data first and will it take me out of there and I gotta go back then wipe the cache? or will it just wipe data and then hit the back button and wipe cache and then hit the back button and hit install from sd?
 
Wipe Cache
Wipe Data
Back out to main menu
Mount System - Screen will read "UNMOUNT /SYSTEM" when mounted
Mount Data - Screen will read "UNMOUNT /DATA" when mounted (some require this)
Back out to Manin Menu
Install Zip From SD Card
Choose Zip From SD Card
Select your ROM
Yes - Install
Thank you tom108, the mount and unmount is specified by the dev? when it just says wipe data/cache I don't have to mount system then?
