I'm running Albino's CM11 build from 03/04 and I was wondering:
Can I flash nightly without wipe data (Maybe cache and Dalvik)
Can I jump updates and Go directly to today's one or need to flash one by one?
Thanks

If you are updating from the same rom base then yes you can just wipe cache and dalvik, however issues that are reported will not be observed because you did not do the full wipe data. It is always recommended (but not mandatory) to wipe /data

someone could build a philz recovery from the latest source with F2FS support for i9305?
Just informing you TWRP is updated to a 2.8.5.0 version for i9305 since one week: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9305
TWRP 2.8.5.0
Hello,
TWRP 2.8.5.0 is f2fs it or not ?
Best Regards
working thanks for this
Finally.
After searching for almost 3 days (almost straight, you know school was between it) I finally found this thread.
I´ve followed all the steps, and FINALLY that whole rooting stuff worked.
Previously I tried some YouTube Tutorials, and yes, the SuperSU showed up, but wasn´t openable nor usable nor updatable and worst of all NOT removable.
But This "Noob friendly" Guide really helped me out.
I can´t say thank you often enough.
So... THANK YOU, MATE.
P.S.: I´ve only made an account to thank you for your great work. Once again, Thank you.
Today build didn't work for me, stuck on Samsung logo

TWRP 2.8.7.0 for i9305?
The new version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 for i9305 has been up on the official TWRP site for weeks but it still seems to be corrupted (causing bootloops)? Where can I verify that a proper version has been uploaded? I know that there's a thread on i9305 development trying to make a stable version but who are behind these version released on official TWRP site and shouldn't they be doing the stable version?

the version in development thread is by me and works fine now
twrp builds the recoverys via jenkins and upload them... as for now they use a old tree for your device and thats why the broken build exists (no ome tests those builds)
the problem is you dont have any official maitainer .... so nobody takes care of your twrp builds....
i am not allowed to upload a stable build ... only a DEV that OWNS i9305 can do it (dont must be recognized dev but must proof some skill)

Thanks for your fast reply and it is really nice to see you giving such an effort to bring this latest TWRP working on i9305! I wish I could have dug this info out before I had flashed the recovery version from the official site as I had to go stock to get my device working again (well, better than a bricked device though)!
So the Alpha 17 is fully working at the moment? Could we get a download link placed at the main post if possible? Awesome work, man!

You can:
1. Follow the guide for the rooting process in ODIN with CF Auto root and also the custom recovery flashing.
OR
2. Flash just the custom recovery of your choice and then install a pre-rooted custom rom using the recovery you have flashed.
Both ways you will have custom recovery and root again
philz full wipe not working :crying:
plz help~~~ I flash the recovery from 4.3 stock, and then flash the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-4-4-4-t3026347
I did a full wipe and then install the ROM, the rom can be flashed and run successfully.
But I found all data, including files from internal SD card such as whatsapp data and camera still exist (not wiped)
Then I search the threads and found there is a knox bootloader at stock 4.3 which is not a good thing
After using the rom for 2 days, I notices the touchwiz always FC, and the device always reboot
I wonder if the full wipe is not working well so that I am having some issues with the new ROM...
anyone could suggest me how to do a complete full wipe? Also if possible how to remove the knox bootloader? Thanks!

You should flash Android 5.1 for i9305.
The difference in speed, battery usage & user friendliness is massive.... It gives our device a new lease of life..
Get rid of 4.4. Install the latest Philz Recovery & KNOX is a problem you can solve. Search Google....
Flash cm12.1 for i9305 & install the gapps aroma package so you can choose exactly which Google apps you want in your system.
I use winxuser version of CyanogenMod 12.1. (Android 5.1.1)
Btw the devs are currently adapting Android 6.0 dor i9305 & it looks like it will work in a few weeks...

Hi,
Lets talk about the behavior after full wipe using Philz,
as I know all data should be cleared right? But after I full wipe using philz and flash a rom, after that all data remains including all photos, whatsapp data etc.... is that a normal scenario?

In Philz 6.48.4 (also the one im using), you have to go to ''mounts and storage'' and do a ''format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)'', this will wipe your internal SD (phone storage) where your photos, whatsapp data etc. are stored, so before wiping it make sure anything you need is saved elsewhere on your pc. If you need to wipe your external SD (micro sd), you need to do a ''format /storage/sdcard1''.
SOME INFO ABOUT WIPING BEFORE INSTALLING A ROM:
The following actions are what i consider a normal wipe.
*This is the wipe that you need most of the time.
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- in advanced ---> wipe dalvik cache
Now flash the rom you want..
This is what i consider a full wipe.
*This is the wipe that you need if you want to have a clean installation.
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- in mounts and storage ---> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
- in advanced ---> wipe dalvik cache
Now flash the rom you want..
And this is what i consider a mega wipe.
*This is the wipe that you need if you absolutely need to wipe everything. (more for advanced users who know exactly what they are doing)
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- in mounts and storage ---> format /data
- in mounts and storage ---> format /boot
- in mounts and storage ---> format /modem (do it only if the rom your gonna install has modem/s included!)
- in mounts and storage ---> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
- in advanced ---> wipe dalvik cache
Now flash the rom you want..
For using Samsung 4.4.4 roms, such as N4 Elite Lite, Eclipse, TGP or Amcha rom, it is recommended at this point to update your bootloader to a 4.4.4 kitkat bootloader if you are still on a 4.3 bootloader, you can do that by flashing a Samsung official firmware with ODIN, preferably one for your region if it exists, if not any other latest firmware will do.
And FYI, the bootloader cannot be removed, its a part of your device !
If you dont know what bootloader you have at the moment, you can check it by going to the first page of my recovery/guide thread and then scroll down and at the end of the OP you'll see some info about bootloaders with a picture, where it says ''step 5''.
Maybe you already know some of this, but still i explained in details so that it will be also usefull for others
Happy flashing! :good:

Really thanks for your answer and appreciate your great work for the N4 elite rom!
I didn't flash an android since android 2.1 and at that time a full wipe using CWM will wipe everything in the device, so I just wonder why the wipe recently will keep user data... once again thanks very much! :good::good::good:

so, i need to same step which i use to change one cm13 rom to another cm 13 rom.
im with the mi 11 pro and i have already the "eu rom stable" . from some reasons i want to flash from the beginning the most updated version of this exact rom (eu rom stable) , which wipe do i have to choose - dalvick or wipe data? or both of them?
If you are staying with same ROM, then flash and dalvik wipe.
If you are changing ROM from stable to weekly or EU to Global etc etc ( change of branch), it is a full data wipe where you have to confirm with a yes in twrp.
Hello fellas,
I'm on Xiaomi.eu rom and want to switch to Indonesia ROM. I have downloaded the MIUI 14 rom from https://new.c.mi.com/global/miuidownload/detail/device/1900389 which seems to be a recovery ROM. Can I install it through TWRP? Moreover, when wipe cache etc, will it also delete material other than the app data like camera photos, videos etc.
Regards
Try to download the fastboot rom of miui indonesian and flash it with mi flash too and don't forget to check clean all
Thanks for reply. Can I flash recovery ROM downloaded from mi website (link shown above in my original post), using TWRP to switch to Indonesia ROM?

Yes but don't forget to do a clean flash (format Data & wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache) ;-)
Based on my experience:
Flash rom, do format data, reboot
And everything done
