Flashing a new ROM overwrites the old ROM unless you have something like MultiROM installed to boot multiple ROMs. Factory reset wipes the userdata, cache and dalvik cache leaving your system partition in it's default state.

Umm, Big thanks for your help!
I'm more of a windows geek,
E.g If i re install windows OS on PC, -- EVERY File, gets deleted and a Brand new, OS is created ( with all new files created)
Now on Android:
If a Factory Reset happens, to Confirm A or B
A) Does the user data, gets deleted But everything else all the other "Hidden" files remain the same
Or
B) Does it happen like Windows, All files get deleted and EVERY file, is re created Brand new.
I want to do B.
Big thanks for helping

Factory reset is like refreshing Windows 8. It leaves your saved files and operating system intact while erasing your installed programs and Windows settings.
Reformatting is like resetting which will also delete any saved files leaving only the stock OS.

You can flash different ROMs and keep the same kernel and recovery like installing different Windows keeping the same BIOS.
If you also want to delete the system OS then you can do it through recovery or Fastboot.
You can not completely wipe your device like a hard drive.

I don't know what device you're using or what's compatible. I know that for Nexus devices you can download the image pack which is like the mobile equivalent of ISO then flash it through Fastboot.

Hello everybody,
This is just a small guide I made for rooting ALCATEL OT-918 (Maybe also 918D or M) devices on which SuperOneClick fails. Most of the files are not by me so all credit goes to the original author...
Tutorial:
01) Unzip usb_driver.zip and install the drivers. (phone shall not be off an plugged in, thx dbask)
02) Copy the file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the root of your SD card.
03) Make sure your battery is fully charged and turn off your phone.
04) Head to the directory SP_Flash_Tool_v2.1134.00 and start FlashTool.exe.
05) Make sure the menu Options->USB Mode is checked.
06) Use attached scatter file creator to make scatter. (or use Android_2.3.6_MT6573_Android_scatter_918.txt)
Warnings/Errors like this can be safely ignored:
Code:
[Warning Hint] Get BMT block count fail, default BMT block count is used!
Code:
[Hint] Bootloader files are lost when automatically loading by scatter file.
Code:
Please make sure you want to go through anyway.
Code:
DSP_BL is unchecked, which may result in a boot failure
07) Check the entry with name "RECOVERY" and double click it.
08) Select the recovery.img file and again make sure ONLY one entry is checked.
09) Click the Download button and plugin your phone with the USB cable.
* Wait some time (untill the recovery file is loaded to your phone) *
10) Unplug your phone and press the volume up and power button at once
11) Select "Flash Zip from SDCard" and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
12) Confirm the update and reboot your phone. Everything should be done, phone is rooted!
Actual tutorial made by others. I only try to make it a bit more clear.

ALCATEL Scatter Retriever v0.1
Just to make this thread a little development related: I coded a tool that should be able to automatically create scatter files for your (ALCATEL) device. It is only tested on my own device but it should work for other (ALCATEL) devices too (Sources can be posted if needed).
Screenshot:
Last words
The tools and files used to make this tutorial are not created by me. The FlashTool is made by MediaTek (the company that makes the ALCATEL devices), the recovery.img is made by somebody at 592zn, the USB Drivers are made by MediaTek/Alcatel (unsure).

Tried to restore using the images and it says missing...nandroid.md5...can u please help me with that file.It is a small file.
Otherwise thanks alot.
ok,
file should be attached
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks for your prompt replies..
I am very grateful...It was successful in restoring but it doesn't boot...it shows the logo then goes to a blank screen.
By the way I have Alcatel OT-918(without D/M/N) running Android 2.3.6.
Is there something that I should do before of after the restore?
I have tried with wiping the cache/data/dalvik cache before restore & after .
I give it alot of time but it doesn't seem to boot.
Is it possible that you give me the data and cache files too.Please......that is if it is possible..
Thanks alot

download the One Touch Upgrade software from here: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/ph/products/andorid_smartphones/ot-918.html to reinstall your OS
to root, use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27178532&postcount=16
Device is upto date and exits
I did that and it says there is no other later version than the one already install on your device and it exits.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
@kippsoft: Sorry, but I cannot give my data and cache... it contains private stuff such as contacts, emails, password and all stuff like that... nothing more to do I guess
@ mr.expdia: I am very very grateful
I am very gratefull for all that you have one to me.Your time spend and assistance is highly appreciated.
Thanks alot.
But said those images were for Alcatel OT-918?Please confirm that?
I thought those were images before you used your phone...it is okay.
And do you have any working custom rom for 2.3.6? Most of the available are for 2.3.5.
Though my problem is not solved...I have learn alot and that is exactly what I wanted when I joined xda.
Thanks to all.:good:
They are captured while rooting my phone, so yes. And I do not have a custom rom, I think you need to wait for one to be created.

Same problem was with me too. But my phone was in warranty so I got it to service center and now it will be replaced with a new one. Hey XDA Guys is there anyway we can prevent this thing? Even I did wipe all data and the phone just booted till screen where Android image comes and then restart.

Hello all,
I just tried to make my Nexus 5 read NFC while on the locked screen using this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/mod-modified-nfcnci-apk-to-poll-screen-t2391170/page3
Apart from it not working (rooted, read/write, permissions set, etc....) I now get the following error mesage when I try to onter the setting on my Nexus.
"unfortunately, settings has stopped"
Placed back the original 'NfcNci.apk' and 'NfcNci.odex' files with no result.
I did a lot of searching, but cannot find a solution.
I hope anyone can help my out here.
Thanks in advance !!!!!
Don't suppose you made a nandroid before installing the apk. You could just restore it if you did. OtherWise you might have to flash the system.img from the factory image in fastboot
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Forgot to mension that :silly:
I backed up the original 'NfcNci.apk' and 'NfcNci.odex' before I started. Already placed the back, with no results.

If that doesn't work you can just make a nandroid backup, flash factory images, use Titanium Backup to backup the fresh Settings.apk/NfcNci.apk/data then restore your nandroid and restore the TiBu backup of those two

Deleted the content in com.android.nfc. No luck.
Dalvik is new to me.
What I discovered is that the 'NfcNci.apk' looks different after replacing it.
It first looked like a bluetooth logo (the backup on sd still does). But after copying it to 'system/app' it looks like an android robot coming out of a blue box with APK written on it.
When I trie to run the 'NfcNci.apk' it gives me a parse error.

Delete both the .apk and .odex, along with data folder then reboot to recovery, clear cache and Dalvik, boot into android and put the backed up files back into /system/app with correct permissions and reboot again. If it doesn't work then try the other method I suggested previously, if that doesn't work I don't know what to tell you lol. Also try clearing data of Settings itself
Thanks for all your help thusfar Lethargy!!!
If you can only tell me how to "clear cache and Dalvik" I will give it a go.
I'm a bit new to android so please forgive me for any simple questions......

Depends on what recovery you're using, TWRP or CWM. In CWM it should be in advanced, in TWRP tick the boxes for it in wipe. Search it up if you're not sure.
On the other hand, "Unfortunately, Lethargy is falling asleep"
Different timezones i guess
I ended up flashing and restoring the apps one by one. So far so good.......

My rooted Nexus 5 has got bootloop issue because of faulty power button. It keeps restarting on its own. After replacing the power button with new One from LG Service center, now it stuck
at marshmellow boot screen, that boot keep running entire day untill battery died. LG Service center guys told me to replace the mother board. Since i was not convinced, i decided to make sure
if it is really required. My Nexus 5 has CWM recovery ver 6.0.4 with usb debugging on. Fastboot, adb everything is working. But if i tried to flash / wipe or mount i simply get error
can't mount /persist
cant mount /data
I tried following links to fix it-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833
and some other first hand advice like run "Flash-all.bat" from stock rom, use WUG Toolkit to fix soft brick and flash stock rom or try flashing another custom recovery. But no matter what i try
CWM never get replaced and again same error. i was able to flash TWRP ( only untill reboot)and able to see folders under File Manager. But can't select Data, persist if try to wipe or mount from there.
One thing though, While using LG Flash tool my device never got detected in the tool even though i could see LG USB Serial Port under device manager in PC.
Please suggest if there is anything can be done to get it into working mode ,or motherborad replacement is the only way to go ahead.
You could try repartitioning device. try doing this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...guide-repartition-nexus5-to-increase-t3509880
Actually resizing system partition also deletes userdata partition and it should work after recreating it. You have nothing to loose if it is already broken.
Try flashing the oldest stock ROM from the Google site. Make sure to flash userdata.img and perform a factoru wipe before booting the phone for the first time.

I am really sceptical if this will work. Since I have already tried flashing oldest rom of marshmallow (6.0.0).
Anyways, it won't take much time so will try to flash KitKat and let you know.
Edit -
Result was as expected
remote : failed to erase partition
remote : flash write failure
Any other Help ?? How to make sure if its really hard brick and not soft brick?
Sounds like the internal memory chip is damaged. I had one phone where I could not flash anything so I changed the motherboard and everything worked perfectly after the change.
I think I have a similar issue. Someone please help!
Stupid question,
I normally use root essentials to make a system backup but I think with op6 it will not backup al the required files anymore I think.
So I want to make the backup true twrp but can someone list the files to backup. As there are also vendor partition listed. So please let me know what to backup exactly to make the correct backup.
Thanks in advance.
Regards ysco..
Bump,
Anyone?
I think you need to backup all partitions.

For a successful nandroid you need following partitions:
boot
system image
vendor image (not sure, if image is really needed, haven´t tested) yet
data
Separately an efs-backup is highly recommended which should be copied to an external storage.

the reply is not correct you explicitly don't need exactly those two image partitions to backup because they remain stock intact at all times, they only make your backup huge, up to 14GB instead of only 7-9GB once unchecking them.
of course as always you HAVE TO backup system and vendor, just not the system and vendor images, they serve to keep a clean stock
system available to recover from a soft brick, you can test that by re-locking and re-unlocking the bootloader and/or by formating all partitions
including user data on both slots. it will boot directly into a clean system (setup wizzard) like on first unboxing and this what you boot into then is exactly vendor and system image which remains untouched no matter what you do (except intentionally killing everything with brute force which is not even so easy)

i shall attach a screenshot to illustrate and much more important ist that if you ever opened parallel apps settings you'd have to delete all
999 folders in root > data > (all 3 misc + all 3 system + both user) folders else you get a 255 error.
Thank you.. i did wonder whether backing up image files was the right way.

That's absolutely correct. I was not precise enough in my post. I recommend a backup of the system image, at least I do it so, because I can not know in advance, whether later a factory set or a clean install will be necessary. So it does not bother me that the backup is a bit bigger then. It does not hurt and costs nothing.
As I said, the thing is, if I wipe system, then I need to flash it again if I did not back up system image - that's my experience.
Or am I wrong; I like to be corrected, especially your knowledge interests me.

Hello people
Today I flashed the Xiaomi EU android 11 to check it out and saw some bugs and wanted to downgrade to android 10.
I flashed the stock rom as I was downgrading and installed TWRP, Fully wiped the phone and wanted to restore my backup, but it says " extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 " when restoring the data. Needless to say, I had to type my password when I booted to recovery and I had Fingerprint and Pincode enabled when I was backing up. now I checked the recovery log and the error is
Code:
==> extracting: //data/misc/recovery/ (mode 40770, directory)
tar_extract_file(): failed to extract //data/misc/recovery/ !!!
When I browse that Directory there is some files named Fingerprint so looks like this is making some issues.
Could someone please help me out how I am able to delete this directory and try restoring my Data ?
I have tried any way of wiping and installing stock rom but still I get this error.
Looks a recovery error. Is the back up made with different recovery? Looks like it cannot find or extract it from the back up. Can you get back to where you were when you made the back up and restore from there?
If not, looks like a format and start again.

Yeah it is from the same recovery.
It is a common error when you google it. but the fix they have mentioned does not work for me. It is like I should somehow delete that folder or files causing the issue from the backup and restore it.

You'll need to mount it on a pc, extract the folder and compress it again or delete it from the archive and save. I would make a copy first though.

ok I am able to extract it with WinRar. but how should I compress so the TWRP will not face issues? on Winrar I have RAR,RAR4 and ZIP that I think will not work.
Use 7 zip.
To create a tar file, you can highlight the files you'd like to archive, right-click, and go to 7-Zip > Add to archive. In the 'Add to Archive' menu, just select 'tar' as your archive format and click OK.
Did you get it fixed?

No, it didnt work. When i extracted the file using 7zip I got errors for everyfile. I think the issue is with the pincode and the data being encrypted. So next time I should remove the lockscreen and backup my data.
Goos thing I had backed up on Google Account.
Thanks for letting us know but good luck my friend

Some of the TWRP we use on Mi 10 ultra, dont able to decrypt data using Fingerprint or pin, you need to use pattern, this is a TWRP bug.
What a bull**** bug. There should be warnings about this at least when people go to create a backup.
