Wiping with Cynogen 6.0

Danokan · Aug 22, 2010

According to several statements and threads by several people:

Froyo has a built-in feature that if you wipe it will RETAIN your apps (at least some of them).

So if you are having issues with an app, and you wipe and re-flash, that app may still be there with the same issues.

I have already experienced this. As far as I know, no other ROM has this issue.

Here is what I had to do:

While the phone is booted:

1. Menu>Privacy>Factory data reset

2. Go into recovery

3. Completely wipe everything and I do mean EVERYTHING

4. Move ROM back over to Sd card and flash it

thanks for the heads up. Just moved to 2.2 and haven't had any problems yet but it's good to know anyways.

This is from another post on the xda forums concerning this issue:

What I ended up doing was choosing "Skip" on first boot when it asked for my Google creds. I also turned off Google backup as before. Then I went in to the Privacy settings, lo and behold, backup was off but "Automatically restore settings" was checked (and disabled so I couldn't un-check!)

So I enabled backups then de-selected Automatically Restore and un-checked backups again. Then started Market, it asked for Google credentials, I entered them, it asked AGAIN if I wanted backup, I said no, and finally I could get to Market without restoring my apps.
