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.
Hello fellow friends
I am actually running 4.4.4 KK Rooted, with DRM Keys, Locked BootLoader and etc, just like this step-by-step guides you, i did follow all the steps.
I been using it for a few months and now, i feel like updating to the Lollipop. What EXACTLY do i have to do? ( I was thinking about, FLASHING a pre-rooted LP rom via recovery, then, after that, turn off the phone and THEN flash a FULL NON-PRE ROOTED rom via Flash Tools and exclude "SYSTEM" while flashing it.)
Am i thinking the correct? IF no, what should i do to keep my device rooted and update it from KK to LP?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is actually not needed
Do Steps 27-32 - And select all four checkboxed listed at "Include" in PRFC tool.
With this you have a FULL FW, rooted and DualRec. - Custom Rec. flashable - No need to flash non rooted stuff afterwards...
Alright, thanks mate, i will give it a try!

You mean, all i gotta do then, after creating the pre-rooted full fw, i just gotta flash it via recovery, and Wipe Factory Defaults? Or just dalvik and cache will do? PS I dont mind if i lose data, got all backed up on PC.

Exactly - But Full Wipe needed because KK to LP change...
First time I rooted (only some days ago - new Z3C ) I did al the steps - But I'm learning and reading fast
If you include Kernel, Fota, Modem, LTA you have a Full FW. Flashable directly over KK...
This is what I did the second time I rooted... (Because of my own dumpness I lost root and had to do rooting again)
In the known HowTo rooting thread several users reported this also. Just read there last few pages...
Your question was asked maaany times there
Note: There is a new Version of PRFCreator available -> V1.0

I have rooted 23.1.A.1.28, and want to update to the latest firmware without losing my home screens icon arrangement, how may I achieve that? I am hesitant to update because I may lose user data and the home screen arrangements.

Thanks for your answer, but what do you mean "full wipe" ? If i do factory defaults i will lose root access i think, heard that after flashing the pre-rooted fw.zip via recovery, all i gotta wipe is dalvik, cache and maybe data!

Yes - you will loose it but only if you reboot after wipe. Full wipe is system/data/cache/dalvik, - Factory reset is Data/cache/dalvik,
If you stay in TWRP you are save. Actually wiping system is not needed... Those pre-rooted zips (as well as most stock bases custom ROMs available here on XDA (SLiM, Moly82's, etc) with superSU and DualRec (and I think you wanna use one of those) including an complete system.ext4 img which overwites sytem partition anyway....
And yes - after flashing via zip cache/dalvik wiping is OK... Data not needed...
And Data is almost empty anyway after full wipe/factoy reset from the beginning...
Don think to much. Make an TWRP Backup of SYSTEM, DATA, TA, KERNEL and go ahead. Things are easier than they look like....
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.

Hi guys, i know that we just have MM update for 9208 TW.
If this is previously rooted phone, will there be batt drain after update?
If yes, how to root to fix as non of the forum has info on routing MM 9208.

I did not face any battery drain (previously rooted and Knox tripped) when i followed the following steps:
1. Take backup of ALL DATA
2. Download ODIN flash-able file of MM for Taiwan from sammobile.
3. Add the file in AP section.
4. Selected 3 options. Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time and NAND Erase All.
5. Flashing successful
6. Go into stock recovery and Wipe Cache Parititon and then Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Reboot.
Report here if it works for you. DO NOT RESTORE APPS but re-install.
It worked for me and most of the users. I guess Samsung might've provided a fix to this in this ROM's kernel.

It is usually suggested to do a CLEAN installation when doing an ODIN flash (including Internal Storage which is done only through NAND ERASE ALL). Post your battery consumption/drain details once you are done analyzing. :good:

Thanks, it works!!!!!!
Apologies for duplicating this post but the original forum was apparently the wrong spot for this.
I need either some pointers or a reference to a how-to, if you please.
My Nexus 6 is currently running Pure Nexus 6.0.1-2060821-official, security patch 8/5/2016 with ElementalX kernel 3.10.40-ElementalX-N6-3-20.
I've updated Pure Nexus before through TWRP and all went well, but those efforts never involved updating the kernel too. I've attempted to flash the new kernel, the rom and the google apps, but the phone goes into a never ending boot effort and it's a tussle getting back to recovery mode as it tends to boot loop. The flashes are preceded by clearing Delvik and cache and cleared again after the flash.
Is the order of flashing off or perhaps not enough clearing of other items such as system? Or is a factory reset needed?
Kind of lost on this one and can't seem to string together enough search terms to find help specific to the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
The kernel is most likely not updated to work with the rom. Each rom comes with its own kernel so you really don't have to flash a new one. I would flash the rom and gaps and see what happens. Leave the kernel out of it for now. You have to remember that not all kernels work on all roms. Many roms are making it so only their kernel works properly.

Still no-go. Freshly downloaded purenexus_shamu-7.1.1-20170215-OFFICIAL and Full_Dynamic_GApps-7.1.x-20161215, checked the MD5s, and flashed both after cache/Dalvik. Still got the same 4-color bouncing dots. Let it run like that for about 40 minutes before getting back into recovery.
Ran the same flash but this time also wiped system. Same result.
Is 40 minutes enough time? Impatience maybe?
Now back to original 6.0.1, PureNexus 6.0.1-20160821 and 3.10.40-ElementalX-N6-3.20 kernel.
Any ideas?

You are doing a full wipe right? Wiping system and data before flashing?
Also encryption could be an issue. If your device in encrypted or the kernel did not remove the force encryption flag. That could take awhile as well.

Got the Feb GApps, wiped Dalvik and cache... this time I let it run for a bit over an hour in case the encryption was an issue. There's a little over 19 GB in files. I figured an hour would be enough but no luck. Had to recover again from backup.
TWRP gives 5 items that can be wiped, Dalvik, System, data, Internal Storage and Cache. I was of the understanding that data pertained to user data (photos, notes, etc). Most all of that is backed up but I'm unclear on what needs wiping for this Nougat upgrade. When I wiped system, it didn't seem to help - although I was using the older GApps at that point. I've seen documentation that says to wipe these items at the outset and others that suggest after the flash is complete. Both? Which ones?
I don't want to resort to drastic measures if it's something simple that I've missed.
Needs Nougat bootloader and latest radio--flash in TWRP. This allows flashing N ROMs while will still work with all MM or even 5.1 ROMs

What TWRP version? Old one cause problems on newer ROMS. Newest is 3.1.0, but 3.0.3 or 3.0.2 should be ok.
Wipe everything - /system, /data, /cache. /dalvik. Do NOT wipe Internal Storage (camera photos, downloads, etc.) before flashing. Data is usually app data, so make a nandroid first to save it, but app data can usually be restored with Titanium Backup or Google will restore it on setup. Just do not restore any system data.
Bootup on clean flash does take time, but normally no more than 20-25 minutes.
Try reverting to stock
Install stock firmware using adb
TWRP version might be the glitch.... Mine reports 2.8.5.0 in recovery mode. I'll update to the latest and retry after wiping all but internal storage. If that fails, I'll flash the boatloader and radio.
Once more into the breach.

You should really update the bootloader/radio to the latest once you update the TWRP. Updating the bootloader/radio will not affect your internal storage.
