Selling phone, is this enough to wipe all my data? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi I am going to sell my phone today. I did full return to stock:
- flashed official recovery
- flashed official 4.5 rom
- did fastboot oem lock
Does the fastboot oem lock command wipe everything like :
- twrp folder
- titaniumbackup folder
- whatsapp folder
- etc
Are these steps enough to clean all of my data from phone or should I format data then flash new rom? Thanks.

Only way to fully whipe your phone so as not let the new owner undelete/restore photos and stuff is by making sure you had data encrypted before and then format removing the front door key to your data.
Or you can use Shredder to overwrite all data making it impossible to undelete/restore photos and files. A simple format without data encryption won't do a thing to protect your data as it only removes the file allocation table and won't overwrite anything.

Well I had data encrypted, so now I should just format it thru fastboot and flash rom again, right?
Is thes command ok to format thru fastboot?
fastboot format:f2fs data
And after that just adb sideload rom from pc right?

[Pure Nexus] How to disable forced encryption?

Hi,
I just installed the newest Pure Nexus and I am super happy with the results
Hower my phone is still encrypted.
How can I decrypt it? What tutorial should I follow? There are so many. Please help me.
What I have done so far:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash TWRP
3) Flash Pure Nexus (prerooted) and gapps
Thank you!
Backup all your apps/data to PC and then type this command in fastboot "fastboot format userdata". It'll decrypt you but also wipe all data from your phone, including data/media(internal storage).

Thank you very much!
Just to be sure:
1) I make a full backup over TWRP and copy the backup to the computer (check all checkboxes in the backup options?)
2) Start smartphone in fastboot mode
3) Use command fastboot format userdata
4) Go back in TWRP and install the backup I have done in step 1
5) Reboot normally
6) Done?
1. Backup all the contents of your sdcard. Everything will be deleted.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Don't backup/restore rom. Do fastboot reboot and setup you phone from scratch.
5. Transfer everything back to sdcard.
6. Done.

XT1095 Marshmallow Won't Boot, Full Disk

Stock Android 6.0 with stock recovery, no root, locked bootloader. Ran the device out of internal storage by writing too many files to the application's data directory. The device crashed and now it goes black after the boot animation. Able to get to the bootloader and recover menus. Lots of data stuck on the device. Any advice on pulling the files or getting Android to start again?
Try wiping the cache in the recovery menu.

Tried this already. Thanks for the suggestion!
Sorry, I didn't see that I your original post so I had to start at the beginning with the most simple suggestion.
Go to recovery and try to use the adb shell to copy off the data you want to keep. Maybe also try a backup from adb (I forget the command).
If you know of a program that is taking up alot of data in the data partition that you don't care about losing then you could try using the shell to delete that data file.
Otherwise, you may just have to factory reset and start over.

[RECOVERY][Huawei P7][Unofficial TWRP Recovery 3.0.3-0]

Hi everyone.
Here's my build of TWRP 3.0.3-0 for Huawei P7.
Features:
Supports USB OTG, so you can use USB flash drive as external storage for backups, zip installations.
Added feature to make backup/restore of internal storage.
Added feature to make backup/restore of oeminfo partition. This partition contains info about vendor and current installed version. So in case if you want to rollback to 4.4.2, for example, or revert back your previous vendor version, you can just restore oeminfo from backup with 4.4.2 version or other vendor and flash appropriate firmware without flashing transition package, vendor and without getting "cust fail" error.
Combined with stock EMUI 3.1 recovery. In case of power-on by holding power + vol+ or rebooting into recovery by command or any 3rd party application: will boot in TWRP. In case of local update, OTA-update, factory reset from menu or "force update" (3buttons method): will boot into EMUI recovery. Thus you don't have to flash stock recovery before OTA-update, flashing official firmware or doing factory rest.
Off-mode charger updated from EMUI 3.1 (for 4.4.2)
custom.bin and cust symlinks are saved/restored (if they were exist) in case of Wipe/Format Data. So there is not gonna be "cust" issues after factory reset in TWRP.
Excluded SuperSU from build.
Enabled encrypted data support.
Screen lock by power button replaced with screen off.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Android 4.4.2 - 5.1.1
Installation:
Reboot in fastboot mode
Flash image via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_P7-3.0.3-0.img
fastboot reboot
From TWRP: Press "Install" and select zip-archive
Notes:
Because internal storage is not a separate block device and just a subfolder of "userdata" partition, before you can make backup/restore of internal storage, first you should do Mount -> Data.

I can't tell you for sure about backups made by araca's 2.8.7.0 - I don't know his partition layouts and backup naming method, but if you were using my build of 2.8.7.0, then yes, you can.
Anyway, it's better to make a new backup, for any case...
Thanks . works great on my p7 especially the factory reset with cust .
can you explain how i can build similar twrp for the mate S . your help will be much appreciated
Hi !
Whenever I use 3buttons method my phone goes to EMUI recovery ,
Whenever I use 3rd party application my phone goes to TWRP recovery !
There is no update file on my storage so in both cases my phone should go to TWRP recovery ! What is the problem ? Please solve this !

What do you mean by similar?
You'll have to make device tree to build TWRP. Mate S is much different from P7, so I think I couldn't help you with it.

There is not any problem. 3 buttons method is used for "force update". If you want to boot into TWRP, use "power" + "vol+" instead of 3 buttons. Read the first post attentively!
@Kostyan_nsk_one question, why if internal storage is a subfolder of user data in recovery the size of internal storage partition is bigger of data partition?

TWRP excludes /data/share folder from backup of /data folder. Thus, if you have a lot of photos, music, etc in your internal storage, its backup size will be greater than size of /data backup.

Well, thus if I want to do a nandroid backup I have to check data and internal storage, not only data partition because of default it's not selected internal memory

It's not mandatoryly for nandroid backup. Depends on what kind of data you want to save. /data contains user applications and system settings; /data/share (i.e. internal storage) contains your personal data (screenshots, photos, music, videos, etc) if you didn't moved them to sd-card. It's up to you, what to backup and what not.
@Kostyan_nsk I appreciate your work. I have already built TWRP for my Huawei device but I am struggling to fix custom.bin and /data/cust symlink being destroyed after factory reset. I have placed the necessary code in partitions.cpp under Wipe partition block. Can you tell me which method you used to fix this?
@Kostyan_nsk When I do a backup in the internal memory then via es file Explorer goes into TWRP folder in sdcard0 (internal memory) it is empty, and if I go into the folder media / share / 0 / TWRP I find the backup. They are not the same thing? While if I do backup in the external sdcard its all ok.

And put it into the ADB / FASTBOOT folder
Install drivers of your phone
Connect your phone to your computer
Enable USB debugging on your phone
Open ADB and type:
"adb devices" (you should see now your device)
"adb reboot bootloader"
Now you should see at the bottom unlocked or locked. That means if your bootloader is unlocked. You need to unlock your bootloader to install a custom recovery.

Return to stock without wipe to allow OTA - Android One

So I recently traded my N5X for a A1 X4.
My carrier locks tethering so I would normally just edit the build.prop file to enable it. I'd do this by just booting into TWRP from fastboot and running some shell commands (rather than full on rooting it and then using root explorer or the like).
Problem is this seems to break OTA updates, I have even tried making a backup of the build.prop file and then deleting the modified version and replacing it with the backup version and then retrying OTA updates that doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to return to stock that doesn't involve wiping the data partition. In the past I have just done a full firmware update but that always wiped things and I would have to reset everything backup.
I know with my N5X I would just flash the full firmware images and just delete the "-w" from the flash-all.bat file and it would do a full firmware update but with no wipe. How do I achieve the same on the A1 X4?
don't run the wipe data command would be equivalent.

I don't recall there being a wipe command, I think last time I returned to stock I just ran a singular program.
I do see instructions on manually flashing each partition with (what now appears to be optional) commands at the end for erasing userdata partitions, etc.
Any pointers on where to find the firmware to flash manually?

Try to format data instead of wiping, either do it within TWRP (Wipe > Format Data > type "yes") or fastboot:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
Please note that all data is going to be lost, in case you didn't make a backup yet (if it's even possible to do it, since it says that data is corrupted).

i already did that on accidentand deleted everything even the backups
Something similar happen to me. I was in twrp and was performing a full wipe(not factory reset), I installed RR, kernel, and then when I was installing gapps, the phone rebooted, and when I tried anything, it said e: legacy property not found( or something similar) and would not boot to system, would not flash anything, wouldn't boot to bootloader, but I was able to transfer files and use adb so I plugged into the computer and used adb reboot fastboot and booted to bootlaoder, now everything works

Backups are supposed to be stored outside the device you make a backup of, keep that in mind for future
