what do you want to hear?
your nandroid is gone..
the factory reset in the bootloader always delete eeeverything.
your data and your nandroid is helplessy lost now, sry for that.
the next time if you want to do a clean install do it this way!
nandroid of your old rom
wipe system 3x
wipe data 3x
wipe cache & dalvik 3x
and then flash the new rom and do not forget to flash the boot.img afterwards if you are on s-on.
this procedure will wipe everything which is needed for a clean install and it keep your "sd"storage untouched.
The EXACT same thing happened to me, and I was also trying to do a fresh install of Viper One S just after making a full nandroid. Only difference was that I didn't mean to click FACTORY RESET in the bootloader, I'd already wiped everything through recovery.

Long story short, I'm sorry but I hope you have at least some stuff backed up on your PC.

I'm currently rooted running a MIUI ROM. My question is, if I want to flash to a different ROM, what do I need to do prior to flashing? Can I just flash directly over using CWM or do I need to revert back to stock first?
Thanks
If it was an update to the same rom then you could probably just flash over depending on the chef's instructions.
But a different rom, I would definite wipe data/factory reset it first.
Of course I would backup apps/data, and a nandroid backup too

Thanks for the reply, so would I need to unroot and reroot and all that stuff over again, or can I just choose the factory rest option from the boot menu?
There's no need to return to stock, just wipe data/cache from the CWM menu.
If I have a backup of of an existing ROM, and a Titanium backups of all apps and app date, why would I need a Nandroid backup too?
I downloaded Trickdroid and everything is good. before I did the download I backed up stock in TWRP.
When trying to restore stock it says 'completed' in about two seconds and when I then reboot I'm still on Trickdroid.
Was I meant to do a nandroid in cwm? Can't think why TWRP wouldn't just restore.
Obviously I still have the stock image on my sd card in the recovery folder of TWRP, so would there be any other way of flashing/installing it whilst bypassing TWRP if I have to?
I faced a similar problem and I freaked out. I installed MIUI to test it and then after I tried to restore my Trickdroid nandroid. Every time I boot the phone after restoring, it kept asking if I want to use the miui launcher and then an error appeared saying your phone has stopped and nothing works.
I did wipe everything (system, data, cache, dalvik) but the same thing happened over and over. It also refused to install any new ROM. I thought I had a brick. Then after a couple of reboots to recovery, I could install a fresh trickdroid and then on top of it I could restore my nandroid.
Now I am weary of installing anything new. I have a CWM nandroid as well just in case.

I included a script which does not allow you to switch from Trickdroid to another ROM as it's the best anyway
Just kidding, try to reflash your Recovery or so
Just had an idea, would it make a difference if I flashed the new boot.img before wiping the current ROM? meaning, before restoring trickdroid, I flashed the kernel of trickdroid.
Because yesterday I had the same experience again this time with CM9 and I had to make a fresh install

Don't worry, I'm sticking with trickdroid, just wanted the peace of mind of knowing I could go back to stock anytime.
Now I can't, I'm stuck with you
Sorry if this has been covered way too many times but I want to make sure.
I have rooted my phone that was running 3.20.502.52 with the AAHK so now I'm on the version it sent me back to and I have done nothing since. I am getting ready to switch to the Jellytime R29 ROM. I know to make a Nandroid backup but I was a little concerned about getting back to the state my phone is right now should anything go wrong or if I don't like it, go back. It seems that I can't just restore my Nandroid through CWM without flashing a different kernel since I'd be coming from a JB ROM.
My current setup is:
Android: 2.3.3
Sense: 2.1
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
Software 2.47.502.7
So, in order use my Nandroid in case the Jellytime messes up, do I simply have to do a factory reset, and wipe cache, and dalvik-cache (this is considered a "full" wipe, yes?) and then flash a compatible kernel then restore my backup? And if so, can I find that exact kernel somewhere to flash or is there another one you guys can recommend me to use in my situation? OR, can I just straight up restore the Nandroid since the backup should cover the kernel too?
Sorry I'm a newb. I'm trying to learn. All help is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to flash Jellytime as soon as I know how to recover from it.
1. Welcome!
2. The kernel is included in the backup. You also don't need to wipe anything; just restore the nandroid. Make sure you use a fully updated recovery; make sure using ROM Manager for CWM or the 4ext Updater or Play Store app for 4ext.
3. A full wipe is system, data, and cache. Dalvik is already included if you wipe those. A factory reset only wipes data and cache, leaving system unwiped. In 4ext just choose "wipe all partitions except sdcard."
Alright. I already flashed Jellytime a while ago and so far I see no reason for wanting to go back although I did a quadrant standards test and scored lower than stock. Not sure why, but either way, this was a nice first ROM. What I wiped in cwm was the reset, cache, and dalvic. So far everything is working if I missed anything.
Didn't know wiping wasn't necessary for using backups. Must of missed that in my reading. Thanks though. I'll become less of a newb over time.
Hi,
I have a general and simple question.
Last week I changed to paranoid rom and I want to return to 11S rom.
If I'm just restoring the nandroid backup and wipe catch and data it is as the same as fleshing it new?
thanks!
Not really,
Anyway, since you gonna wipe data anyway,
Why dont you just flash the whole new rom altogether, instead of nandroid rstore,
Wont take u longer either
It's just easier to do(no need to root again and open the bootloader and recovery) !
Anyway, when I'm installing new rom it will erase my internal storage or just the data/contacts etc.?
thanks!

There's no need to flash the ROM from scratch, a nandroid restore is perfectly fine.

Just go ahead and restore your nandroid backup, it's exactly what they're designed for. The process should wipe the necessary partitions for you but I always wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache first anyway just to be sure.
And no, installing a ROM doesn't erase your user data unless you do it yourself. Erasing the data partition only erases apps, settings, etc.

Great!! many thanks!
Just figured I'd give the heads up if you factory reset with a patched boot, for root or otherwise, it bootloops the phone twice and then goes to recovery. Flashing back stock boot img fixes it.
So don't be stupid like me and reset settings while rooted lol.
thank you for providing us this info, do u just have to go through the whole process again to TWRP/Root?
would it work, if u installed the stock unmodded boot image via twrp, do the factory reset/or clean install full OS zip, then install TWRPFix & Root all in the same session?

I would imagine so, I haven't tried that yet. TWRP broke wifi for me, so I went back to stock recovery for now, maybe I did something wrong, but I'm gonna hold out until theres an official TWRP.

Yeah, I did, so I dunno what happened, but when I booted into the OS after all the steps WiFi was boned.
If you have TWIRP why would you factory reset?
Why not just format /data?
Or does that also cause boot loops

u don't want to format data, u want to wipe data, Format will erase sdcard. That is what the factory reset does anyway is wipe the caches and data.

if youre going to factory reset might aswell format data in twrp
i just thought maybe formatting data in twrp wouldnt cause the bootloop

I could be wrong but I believe the OP might be talking about the root files and not twrp. Prior to twrp release, factory reset was the only option. As it happen to me also, after rooting device.
Plus Oneplus did not include a rom install zip in the stock recovery.
Damn, this AB partition setup really makes things a hassle
Bumping because other people are getting tripped up by this. Something in the factory reset process is not compatible with any sort of mods.
This happened to me as well. Not sure how I recovered, as I flashed via fast boot a bunch of image files. Is the boot image in the image files the latest stock boot image for 5.1.5?
For those of us rooted and no TWRP can someone link the stock boot.img?
Nevermind I found them on the ota page by titokhan

That could be what's causing it, I did wonder about that.

try it and let us know
So before factory reset we need to make sure to reflash stock boot.img that will unroot the phone and only then do a factory reset..
So factory reset with twrp is working or not?
Anyone know where I might be able to get the stock boot.img? My phone is now toast and the referred thread should carry a health warning
Sorry for the noob question but does factory reset delete the media partition too?

No, it does not.
this happened to me too. I was thinking of flashing the latest OxygenOS 5.1.11 with a clean install and I am rooted with TWRP. So what I did was reboot to recovery, wiped data, flashed OOS, then TWRP, reboot recovery and then flashed magisk. Then it got stuck in a TWRP bootloop.
Good thing I had a nandroid so i restored it and tried again.
This time I did the above steps but didn't wipe data. I booted successfully to 5.1.11 and i tried Factory Reset inside OxygenOS. Phone rebooted to TWRP and no data wipe was done. I did the Wipe Data within TWRP, same thing happened... bootloop to TWRP.
Nandroid restored again.
3rd attempt to dirty flash 5.1.11 but this time i didn't flash TWRP nor magisk and just rebooted system. I was back to stock. Then I tried factory reset again within OOS, it was successful so i had to do the whole TWRP and Magisk install again, and restored my apps via Titanium.
Moral of the story is (at least for me), Factory Reset within OOS or Wipe Data in TWRP both doesn't work. If i need to do a clean install, flash OOS then factory reset after rebooting to system, and then go through the whole TWRP and Magisk install process from scratch. Pain in arse really...:crying:
