I have noticed that when I go into TWRP alot of my old files are still on my phone. How can I completely wipe this phone out to factory without any files or apps?

Not without more detail about the issue, the configuration of your device and the history of events leading up to the issue, no

Thanks a lot for the advise it helped and it solved my problem.
It's the only way to do it. I tried many ways to figure out the issue and just couldn't. Lol
I've got the same problem.

The moron is trolling. Don't feed the troll. There is no batch file. Did you read the FAQ in the OP for the L Dev Preview?
Yes there is a flash all bat file. Direct from Google
Hey there,
I've bricked my OneS after I edited my build.prop.
What I did:
One week ago, I've unlocked my phone via HTCdev and than I flashed TWRP and this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/development/rom-oneplus-one-stock-rom-cm11s-one-s-t2869703
Yesterday, I noticed that my computer does not find my mobile phone and adb is not working.
I thought that this is caused by the build.prop edits which I've done with the Pimp My Rom App so I deleted the modified build.prop file and added the stock file of the rom. After that I tried to restart my OneS but now only the screen htc boot animation with the red text appears and the mobile phone does not boot anymore but I have still axcess to the bootloader and the recovery. Adb doesn't work but fastboot works.
What should I do? I've found this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
But do you think it will work with my problem, because my adb already haven't worked before the brick.
Sorry for my bad english!
Edit: The content of the system folder is deleted
Do you haven't any ideas?:crying:

The system folder is empty, factory resets do not effect this folder so it will not change sth.
no backups too ?

I could not find my RUU. Can somebody help me my buildnumber was 3.16.401.10 and my hboot version is 2.15
Hello everyone!
I was using the Android L without any problems, but when i saw this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...android-lollipop-stock-factory-image-t2908890) - that there is a backup image, for download via TWRP, i did it and followed all the steps.
Everything went fine, but my phone was pretty much dead. no internet connection or phone signal.
So, i decided to install the preview ROM of the Android 5, via ADB (available by Google), but my signal was fluctuating a lot.
Then, i tried to install the Stock ROM 4.4.4, but failed again (fluctuating signal and no 3G or LTE) - Only 2G and my phone is restarting often.
Do you guys have any idea to help me? Or did i screwed my Nexus 5?
Thank you very much.

No ... it was the first thing I see.
But I think I found the problem. My IMEI is equal to 0.
I have his number written down, will have to restore it?

Wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Maybe format cache and reflash it in fastboot for good measure. If that doesn't work and you don't have an EFS backup then there isn't anything you can do about your IMEI.

Then I heard about OctoPlus Box ( http://octoplusbox.com/) that can do this kind of repair. But from what I saw, it requires a specific hardware.
I will refer you for assistance, but I think they will want to replace the motherboard and it should come out pretty expensive.

I've done all the wipes, installed the Stock ROM 4.4.4 and 5.0 Preview, nothing worked. My mistake was to have made a restore of an image that was not on my Nexus 5, what killed my IMEI.

Yes. The first time I did the flash-all.bat process, however after I did the manual flash via fastboot all img files, including cache and radio. Nothing worked.:crying:

I'd flash the 4.4.4 factory image and see if you still have the problem. If you do it's most likely a hardware issue.

If you want to preserve data, than only system.

The /data partition can cause issues, not just /system.

If i flashed the data, is it will erase the internal storage? "Pictures, Music, Movies, etc..."

Yes, flashing userdata.img will format the internal storage, so backup your data first.
Flash factory images, don't install anything and reboot, if it doesn't happen then its an issue with your own stuff.

Yes. Can cause. But he can try to flash just system first.
Thanks guys
I'm so used to having an SD Card (S3, S4 & S5), so how do we flash ROMs without an EXT SD Card since doing a factory reset deletes everything?! Thanks for any info!

You said it. You'll lose everything. I save certain folders to my PC before a reset.

WRONG!!
You do NOT lose everything doing a TWRP factory reset. Try doing some simple searching here before posting nonsense.
Let's clarify. If you use twrp, you can choose not to wipe data. If you do not, then yes, a factory reset does wipe everything.
