wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and if you run apps2sd then wipe the ext partition

Re: Define wipe...
Wouldn't flashing the phone effectively wipe the phone? What's the risk if you don't wipe before flashing?

Re: Define wipe...
Android is different than WinMob. If you don't wipe there will be problems.
