[dollardagreat]

1. Delete Everything Off Of Ur SD Card Accept For DCIM, Music, Media, Videos, CWM File.....
2. Place Ur Rom On Clockwork/backup/....^.... Or On SD Card Opening......
3. Reboot Into Recovery And "BACKUP"
4. Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, (Advanced) Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Battery Status, Fix Permissions, (Mount & Storage) Format System, Preload, SD-ext
5. Flash Ur Rom.......

These Steps Should Stop Some Gps And Wifi Issues......

I Use To Experience The Same Problems On my Ascend With CM7 And This Was The Cause.....Not Flashing Properly.....May Work......May Not.......Work For Me......No More Issues......

You really don't need to delete everything from your sd card... maybe just .android_secure

Yes you do or the flash is going be corrupted little......But it may work for some and not for others......

You really don't. There are a few files android uses but we've already discussed this in a previous thread. Your /clockworkmod/backup/ folder is where its getting all of its rom info from and the few folders listed by mavrick are the only ones that may interact poorly with a new rom install.

I mean noone is going to screw their phones up by deleting all files on their sdcard but its overkill and uneccessary.
