Hello guys
I have a stock Rom dev. Edition with root.
I'm having some issue and wanna go back to stock. I can keep root as once I do like a factory reset, I will root again
I tried the factory rest from settings but it doesbt work. So I was gonna do a wipe from recovery but was worried I would end up without any Rom.
Can some one tell me the way to do it?
Thanks.

you should be able to do a factory reset through recovery without problem. the rom will not be deleted as long as you don't format the sd card/system partition..
Hi,
I don't know if there are similar threads but here's the thing:
I have made a twrp backup of 4.2.2 venompie, I did a clean install of 4.3 ARHD, and now, I want to make a recovery to my old backup of 4.2.2
How to do it? Knowing that my HTC one is unlocked international version, rooted and s-off.
Thanks in advance

hit the restore button in TWRP
Flash latest TWRP and use a file manager to zip and move your 4.2.2 backup...?? Kinda vage on what ur askin tho,that seems kinda to "straight forward" but I would love a copy of that backup if u could be so kind??

I know the restore button dude, the question is, would there be any possible issues after restore? Any bugs?
if it is ok then I would go ahead and restore, a brand new HTC One costs these days man

no bugs, if you've backed up everything (system & data) using twrp, then it will restore all your ROM+apps+data+settings.
EDIT: better wipe dalvik and cache, before rebooting

Hey guys,
I'm selling my rooted HTC One, and I want to make sure all my apps and data are deleted off of it.
The guy I'm selling it to doesn't want it booted, so I don't want to return it to stock.
Is there a simple way for me to securely delete all my data? If I do "reset to factory settings" I understand it will brick it.
Thanks!
Daniel

Deleting a personal data using the factory reset will not brick anything - it only wipes a partitions what is ok.
Returning back to stock (not rooted, locked etc.) is a different story and there are few guides how to do that without bricking..
So I still have not received Android 6.0 on my Completely stock Nexus 6.
I'm on LMY48T...about a week ago I received a random update but nothing
changed.
It was bought from Motorola and is now activated on VZW as a Non-VZW Nexus 6
(even though that shouldnt matter)
Any Ideas?
(I don't want to flash the image files because i really do not want to go through the set
up process again. I plan on selling it as soon as i get my Nexus 6p anyways.)
Verizon has not yet released an OTA over their network to take their special N6 lollipop build to the unified Marshmallow, and has not even given a date yet for that release. I think if you have your Verizon SIM in place, the OTA will need to come from them.
I know that when I switched from my Verizon SIM to my Cricket prepaid SIM a couple of weeks ago, the Marshmallow unified OTA was immediately offered. Since then, I have used both the Verizon and my T-Mobile SIM and no OTA has been offered, my N6 is "currently up to date" on the international lollipop build it shipped with.

Do you recommend taking it out and using WiFi? What other options do I have?

I recommend installing a Cricket/AIO prepaid SIM and getting the OTA that way, if you don't want to sideload.
I know it's not so practical, sorry, but it's the only way I know for a fact works.
What is so strange about Verizon not sending 6.0 out OTA is that it's all the same exact build. No need for them to withhold it, they are just being assholes as usual.

I'm on project fi, still on 5.1.1 waiting patiently. My Nexus 9 got the update a few days ago...

That actually works?

It did once. I refused the update, switched in my Verizon sim and then my T-Mobile sim, no updates, then I put back in my Cricket sim and now no update.
So, might have just been lucky that one time. I am in a different part of the country now than when it offered the update...

Is there a way to Sideload and not wipe data? or a safe way? (I mean that's technically how OTA does it anyways, i would assume) I would sideload if i knew it wouldn't wipe data.
I might just say screw it and install a 6.0 ROM and sell on Swappa as that (or per request a different ROM).

Sideloading doesn't wipe data. If you flash a factory image it will wipe data by default, but sideloading the OTA is just like getting the update normally. I would look into the WugFresh tool, as it greatly simplifies the process.
[edit] If you're planning to sell it on Swappa wouldn't you need to wipe data anyway? A factory data reset is definitely recommended before selling a device.

If you have unlocked the bootloader, you can flash the factory images, if you want to keep your data just don't flash the userdata image but flash all the rest.... there are instructions all over the place for this.
OTA zip
If you don't want to wait and don't want to flash the factory image, you can sideload the ota zip through ADB.

I appreciate the response guys. I ended up using WugFresh and just flashing the whole system image. I got tired of waiting and my battery life was terrible on 5.1.1. Now that i am on 6.0 it's like night and day difference. At this point im usually plugged into the wall at like 15% and im now on like 71%.
Once again thanks
I have replaced my Turbo finally and I wanted to see if it is ok to do a factory data reset on it before I sell it.
It's Lollipop unlocked and rooted. Should I sell it this way, or un-root it?
If I leave it rooted how can I be sure I delete my accounts and be safe to sell?
No one?
Or can I just do a factory reset and sell it.
