Can you flash a ROM without erasing data? - HTC Inspire 4G

Is it possible to flash a ROM without erasing data? Because every time I try it gets stuck in a boot loop. And its a pain to reinstall all my apps even with Titanium backup. Thanks

sure you can. just dont come asking for help when something goes wrong. i would be more concerned as to why you are boot looping when erasing. how are you going about this?

Well no when ever I don't select erase data in ROM Manager I end up in a boot loop after the new ROM is flashed. Like shown in this picture...

dont use rom manager. boot into cwm or 4ext and do it from there. rom manager has had issues in the past with this. should give you better results.

Dont do it from there. Manually wipe from recovery.
Wipe data, wipe dalvik and format all partition (except sd card).

Hmm since you wiped, I'm guessing that its your restoring method. How do you restore your apps? You can try to fully wipe, mount system and data then flash. Make sure you wipe system in mounts and storage

You posted in the wrong section
There is not any different between the ClockWorkMod factory reset and the normally factory reset .
Just select "wipe all data / factory reset" this will delete all your apps and data .

Looks like you may need to format system.
How? I do it every time I flash a new ROM. I think... Lol

It is an option in CWM. It will delete everything that you have so make sure that you back it up.
I try to make it a habit of deleting rom zip files after flashing. They will take a ton of your memory if you are constantly flashing new roms or kernels to see what works for you.

I do a data/factory each switch. Then I restored with advance restore in cwm. Just my data from liquidsmooth b2 ROM into b3.

Greetings;
Weird but not impossible. By the way which ROM Exactly?
Try installing some applications to clean your device:
- Android Assistant
- Cache Cleaner (In case Android Assistant doesn't help you).
Let me know how it went.
P.S - I noticed that either you have a problema in your rom (Kernel Panic) or you need to update your superuser app. (the # on the Corner of the screen)

[Q] Can't wipe cache partition, red triangle

Hi,
I have flashed my device with stock, prerooted ROMs numerous times and ever since I couldn't wipe the cache partition. Data wipe works fine.
Upon selecting the option in the recovery mode, it shows progress for 1-2 seconds and the below pic shows up for a fraction of second and the phone reboots itself into the system.

I have a I9105PXXUBNG1 prerooted ROM at the moment and there's no difference in that matter between this one and the previous prerooted I9105PXXUBNE1.
Could anybody relate?
Thanks in advance.
