I was surprised that after flashing stock ROM by ODIN, phone was not cleaned from the user data.
I mean: account settings, applications installed by user, etc.
I know that flashing dont erase data from internal/external SD card, but why all data was still exist?
Only Wipe Data / Factory Reset will erase all user data?
Btw, Merry Xmas

Nope, factory reset will not erase all user data. Go into setting/storage and delete from there (not sure cause I didn't have the device now). If you want to erase using odin, tick the repartition box while flashing the firmware. This is the easiest way I think.
Odin flash doesn't wipe user apps and their data, but it may cause bugs if you come from another ROM...
E.g : if u soft bricked on stock JB, just odin flash is necessary.
for other ROMs, it may or may not lag.
I will describe my way.
I tried to install CM 10.2
I did factory reset, next steps follow procedure.
When I did first start, unfortunately keyboard stop working, so my cyjanogen install failed and I decided back to old system using backup.
After restore and start, phone required settings like on first start after factory reset.
Lol, big surprise.
Ok, I entered necessary information but after reset -
again same like after factory reset
I tried from another backup with same result.
Hmm, big mess.
So I flash stock ROM by Odin.
And new surprise - phone with fresh system and all my own settings and applications from last restore.
Two disappointments:
1. Restore from backup does not cause a return to the initial state.
2. Flash ROM by Odin don't make factory state of phone.
I have question, if format partitions: system and data and next restore backup will do real state phone on this backup?

1. Almost every restore from backup for me it returned phone on state when backup was made. Only if my backup was bad (did not have enough place on sd for backup or something corrupted it).
2. Flashing stock ROM by Odin do not touch data partition (or folder whatever it is). So if you want to erase that, you need to make factory reset. It is like that on every Samsung Android device - I am not sure for other, never used.
When you come back from any CM10.2, Omni 4.3 and CM11 based ROM - first flash stock with Odin, do factory reset - and after that restore backup (ofcourse first root, install CoCore kernel for CWM before restore - you can't use restore in stock recovery).
Tnx for answers.
This is weird that format system partition not enough to get rid of the CM
But I checked this again and exactly after refresh ROM by Odin - restore my settings and data works fine.
Hmm imo this is mess in whole Android system

Explanation for that, TeamJanica used preload partition for swap, and it is patitioned in other format than the one stock ROM use. That partition is not used on CM for files, but it has it's use on stock based ROM.

supposedly you have downloaded the stock FW, flash via Odin with re-partition ticked. if it fails, extract the PIT file from CSC_OMC_OXM_XXX save it in a location and load it at the pit session via Odin the re-flash again with re-partition ticked.

Guys I for a sec thought my phone was haunted!!
Steps I followed-
Was on Simplicity(tried from SURFACE too) Rom, did not wipe anything.. just went to download mode from Power menu Options.
Download JVZ base from SamMobile.
Flash via Odin.(YES, repartition was ticked)
Wait for it to reboot.
Then I see 4-5 things giving force close, and the worst part was that all the previous apps including Superuser were still there all forceclosing.. !!!
The same happened all times (4)...
Did anybody face the same problem? Is there a solution or something?
After flashing a new ROM (no matter what ROM) you have to do a Factory Reset and install your Apps from scrach. This is the best solution.
But you try first with few hope to delete Cache and Davlik from CWM Recovery Menu. If it wont work, try factory reset. Back-up your files becouse it will delete them all.

Agree with this, if not you might find alot of your apps will keep force closing
Guys did u understand the situation first of all? What are u telling?
I am telling here that Odin wipes every partition and all apps are removed if u flash a ROM through ODIN but when I flashed JVZ through Odin, it actually didn't wipe anything surprisingly!!
Apps were still there and fc-ing..

Man, calm down a bit, will you?
I've flashed Odin ROMs many times, and I can tell you that not every time you flash (even with repartition enabled) your phone will be completely wiped.
But then, as stated before, you should do a factory reset. Is it so difficult to go to settings>backup and restore>reset factory data? I don't think so.
Bye!
Hi guys,
I believe this question has been asked multiple times, and i myself tried searching for answers from many various source to clarify my doubts, only to get more confused due to conflicting information.
Let's say now i am on a custom ROM. Before flashing the custom ROM, i made a backup of my stock touchwiz rom using cwm. However i want to revert back to the exact same state before flashing the custom ROM. What are the steps i need to do to restore the backup file?
1) Some sources mentioned just booting into cwm recovery, selecting "backup and restore" option, select "restore" and choosing the desired backup file will allow the phone to restore to the state prior to flashing.
2) Some other sources mentioned needing to wipe cache/wipe delvik cache/format system/format cache etc. first before i can restore the backup file.
So which is it?
Thank you!
Personally, I always choose option 2 if going to another rom. If restoring an earlier backup within the same rom i use option 1.
Don't know excact what the right thing to do is, but it never hurt to wipe cache / dalvik cache / system because you have it all backed up anyway. At least if you backup regulary. I back up regulary and delete the backups i don't want.

Thanks for the tip!
Is wiping cache/delvik cache sufficient in most cases?
Cos i saw a youtube video, where the guy did not wipe cache/delvik cache. instead, he formatted cache, data and system.

Wipe /
If problems format .
jje
Any other things i should look out for or preventive measures i should take for restoring backup from cwm?
i have been reading of cases where restoration through cwm fails and they have to go through the whole process of re-rooting and flashing before being able to restore it
there is no need for wiping, the recovery does it on its own prior to restoring.

Hi there,
I recently rooted and flashed a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. I'm very new to this thing and find everything quite overwhelming, but I want to learn.
I flashed this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119219 (the v6 No Wipe version because I was petrified about losing my data if I factory reset), but the phone is now extremely laggy and buggy, so I want to go back to the stock ROM (so I can do a nandroid backup) and then try a different custom ROM like Dmod.
So, my question is, do I have to factory reset my phone to go back to stock? Or can I just flash this file (http://hotfile.com/dl/189271016/833...T-I8190N-BTU-I8190NXXALL6-1356151513.zip.html) using the CWN recovery menu without wiping? I'm asking because my phone keeps giving me an error everytime I try to backup using the CWM Recovery menu.
Thanks and if you need me to explain something in further detail, let me know.

That firmware is a zipped odin-file. Can't be flashed in CWM.
Make a cwm nandroid backup of your "/data" to your external sd (that's your installed apps)
You can also backup your apps and appdata using titanium backup or similar, for later restore.
Just remember to never backup/restore systemapps.
Backup internal sd to computer just to be sure, if you in any situation have to make a factory reset. Make sure any kind of backup is on your external sd before you make factory reset, or it will be lost forever

CWM has NO choice to backup/restore only parts of the device. Only a full backup is possible.
This is only in TWRP. Pity! I only use CWM because TWRP makes corrupted backups (three times) for me.
Or is it possible to pick out only DATA from the backup? And what is happen with the dalvik cache, which
consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it?
"advanced restore and restore only /data". Is this the way in CWM that you mean @benz?
JackoMJ
Yes that's exactly what I meant, "advanced restore and restore only /data"
You don't have to worry about cache and dalvik because it's automatically created on the initial start.
thx for the information Benz (usefull in the future perhaps),
but i´ve decided to use Titanium Backup.
JackoMJ
Hi, Im having problems with my phone. In the 3 different roms I tried the same, The 3 nandroids I made I can't restore and give errors, Cant restore user apps from titanium backup apps alone or with data, optios for restore is unavailable and now this message at startup "uids on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable"
I think this problems are related. Someone know what it can be? Bad partitions or something?
Quick question, are you doing a Wipe Data/Factory Reset when changing roms?. If not try going booting to recovery choose Wipe>Advance> choose everything except Internal Data and SD> wipe 3 times to be sure then install Rom and after it finishes Wipe Davik/Cache then boot up.

HELP - i flashed the EU rom and wiped Dalvik cache, and reeboted, now It reboots to the TWRP over and over again, what do I need to do?
You also need to wipe data and such before flashing, so maybe you didn't notice or forgot, but as long as you have TWRP, you can recover.
Maybe your ROM download got corrupted. If possible, check the checksum, they should provide it.
It's also possible your USB port + cable combo doesn't work properly, it's happened to many people, so if you are sure it's not the rest, it might be just that

I flashed it but now every app I open crushes, Im on weekly version and I restored apps from the Xaiomi backup, do you know why?
I can't say I do, but I'd assume it's because Xiaomi backup is configured to work only on stock roms.
It's possible that uninstalling and reinstalling each app using whatever the proper app shop is for the given app will fix it without losing the restored data and cache for it.

I would always assume auto backup things to fail when you need them.
Try to reflash your original rom from here and restore using the same backup tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miui-updates-tracker-mi-11-pro-ultra-star-mars.4263135/
Then you can reevaluate how you wanna backup and restore to transition.
It's possible it failed because you have an official rom backup, but it would work if the tool had backed up from Eu to Eu

I dont wanna mess with reinstalling CN version, etc
I will just Factory reset and reinstall manually..
To factory reset in brings me to TWRP, why is it?
Because you installed TWRP instead of the normal recovery utility, you now have TRWP in that partition on your phone. If you use TWRP to flash the proper stock ROM, it will have the same effect as using factory reset using the stock recovery utility. BTW, the stock recovery utility is not built to support having flashed another rom, so you're in good hands having TWRP instead.
You probably had issues because you only wiped dalvik rather than format data after installing the EU ROM. You must format data after flash because the different branches have different partition layouts, hence your problems.
As you must format, you might as well start from scratch again or go in to twrp wipe menu and select format, type yes to confirm and then reboot system. If you want to go down the full install, then flash the ROM again, format data, with the yes confirmation, then reboot system. After each update, just a dalvik wipe is
