Well i'm sure that I should know the answer to this question but.. if i'm on an aosp rom and I want to go back to the original sense rom should I play it safe and wipe anything before restoring the nandroid of the sense rom? If I recall correctly TWRP automatically wipes before restoring but i don't want to royally screw up since going from aosp to sense is pretty different lol.

Just to be on the safe side wipe before the nandroid but I don't think it is required. However, do make a nandroid of your current system and save it off the phone just in case.

I should just wipe data, dalvik cache and cache right? Its been a while since I have done a clean install (since the galaxy nexus days to be exact). :silly:

Restoring nandroid will wipe each partition it is restoring, but to be on the safe side, backup your current system, data, and boot partitions, then wipe system, data, and caches then restore your desired nandroid. Wiping just to be sure won't hurt. I think of it like wiping your bum, wipe til you feel it is clean.

Ok haha. And just to make sure, wiping system doesn't touch where my backups are right? xD backups are in internal storage from what I remember..

Correct backups are in your internal storage.
Word of Warning DO NOT use the "Format Data" option in twrp. Format Data will wipe your entire device. Rom, Kernel, Internal Storage everything. You'll be left with no Rom to boot and no backups or roms to restore.
Factory reset or wipe Data, cache, dalvick and even system partitions individually is fine.

When it's does happen it's not the end there are many ways to get a Rom back on the phone but it does complicate the issue somewhat. So I do like to point thas one out :good:

Believe me I do as well but for whatever reason, I flashed cwm and backed up my stock sense ROM and then I flashed twrp. And I'm going to be returning this phone for a new one soon so I figured I'd go back to the stock ROM so I don't have much of a choice. But next time I'm definitely sticking to twrp lol. I think the backup I did for the first time on this phone it took an hour xD

Ahh I see well just avoid wipeing internal storage until after you've restored your stock Rom. And as @majmoz advises keep a backup of your nandroid on your pc. At least if it does get wiped you can always push it back to the phone

Running CM7RC
Decided to try one of the themes so I did a backup first using ROM Manager.
Didn't like the themes so I tried to restore.
It is coming up without my google account and there is no option to add it in the account settings.
I've wiped and reapplied the backup and also fixed permissions to no avail so far.
I'm finishing a 2nd fix permissions after wiping everything (even Davlik).
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so, what was the fix?
I'd rather get it restored than start over...
Restoring the account settings in Titanium doesn't help either.
I'm screwed, aren't I?
Do you have the Google apps installed (market, etc)?

Yes, happened to me many times when I flashed CM and forgot to flash gapps.
Download gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ and flash from recovery.
Did you use clockworkmod 3.0? It's been known to messed things up during nandroid restore.
Flash GAPPS like other have mentioned.
If not full wipe and start over, use AMon Ra or an older CWM version

Yeah, they were there when I restored the backup but they wouldn't open because there was no google account in the phone. Could flashing gapps fix this?

Yes, it is cwm 3.0
For now I've done a full wipe and started over and after a couple of days of tweaking I'll likely forget the incident. I might try restoring and flashing gapps but I have my doubts as to whether that would work.
I'm going to have to start being more vigilant about backing up apps/settings/data in other ways if a nandroid backup isn't dependable...
Thanks for the comments.
OK, I just flashed RC2 and the account issue popped back up so it isn't necessarily that backup I did before.

You normally only need to format between major revisions, it CM6 to CM7 to CM8. To update to 7.0.3, you just flash the file like normal, and if you are using ROM Manager, just don't select the wipe option.
But as others have said, make sure you backup before you flash. Ideally, you should be able to upgrade without a problem, but unfortunately, we don't always live in an ideal world. Better to be safe than sorry. That way if the flash doesn't work out, you can just revert to your backup.
Hey everyone...
ive already tried to get some quick help already but i really need my phone tonight LOL.
iam running cm9 rom with the latest cm9 stable kernal, now i wanted to flash the hydrocore kernal to see if battery would improve, but it seemed fine but then choppy afew hours later so i changed back to cm9 kernal. Anyway after it rebooted it stayed on the paranoid android bootscreen! where you see the picture loading. i then tried to wipe the cache and dalvik and its still stuck. someone mentioned to do a wipe but i was unsure if he meant to a full wipe? as ive not wiped the factory reset, just the two caches! ive also flashed both kernals back and forth and im still stuck.
Its a simple issue iam sure but could someone help me, im unsure if i should do a full wipe including factory reset or just flash the cm9 rom again. if so can i have instructions step by step...
thank you.
islandmixed, you are on a safe kernel so there is no harm in performing a wipe data/factory reset.

wipe data is totally wiping what's in your phone.. including what's inside the system/apps, build props and framework...
you may need to flash back your g.apps if you want to get all of them and selectively selecting which to install back(rather than just restoring it from TB)
TB does not restore all what you have made a backup to.

I was trying to play around with KitKat 4.4 on my AT&T HTC One today. All the forums here said to install the very latest CWM, which is 6.0.4.3.
I did install it successfully. But compared to the old version, 6.0.4.3 takes about 30 minutes literally to back up my phone or restore.
I'm figuring I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas, hints or tips?

In TWRP you have the option of what to backup:
* Boot
* Cache
* Data
* Recovery
* System
(so if you want everything, you need to select all the options)
If you want to stick with CWM, 6.0.3.2 works fine (but you can't use it for 4.4 ROMs), here's a link:

I use the new cwm on 4.4 as u see xda app thinks I'm on a gt but I'm on a m919 and cwm works just super slow thanks for links I may downgrade I love that cwm backs up my APPS on top of everything else. After I restore it literally is a mirror image of right before backup. I always make backup before new mods that req root

no bugs, if you've backed up everything (system & data) using twrp, then it will restore all your ROM+apps+data+settings.
