Thanks in advance for any help, I'm a noob to rooting and flashing. I installed franco kernel, but it was not for me. So I decided to restore my twrp nandroid backup. Should I have factory reset phone before restore? will there be files from previous version left over? Many thanks, any help will be much appreciated.

Twrp is the latest update from play store not sure which number. I tried Franco but seemed slightly unstable so tried elementalx, but no improvement on battery so decided to go back to stock kernel for now, but I was curious, should I have wiped the entire phone before I restored?every time I restore is it creating multiple partitions or files? still getting to grips with the beautiful world of android coming from the jail of Apple.
Perform a wipe And then restore the Backup. It will be fine When you open TWRP the Version is shown up in the headline

NOT in bootloader as you modified the system and probably will get a brick or crashing the phone. Format all partitions except EFS and SD storage in TWRP. Then restore the backup

Hi, i read that when you flash an ics rom, there are problems going back to a gingerbread one...Is it possible to try ics, and then restore a backup? which version of clockwork is needed? is another recovery needed? thanks in advance!
I installed ICS and then restored my Gingerbread backup with no problems using CWM.
So I can just flash for example the newest NexusBeam (4.1.0) with CWM and Im still able restore my old CM7 Backup?
All this threads about bricks with bootloader etc. made me unsure :S

Yes. Im always doing this step before recovering backups
1 wipe data factory reset
2 wipe cache partition
3 wipe dalvik cache
4 restore backup
5 fix permissions
100% recovered.

Wipe data from cwm
I remember using VR Superwipe on my last phone. I would flash it just before I flashed a new Rom. Would it have any use for us on our SGS3?
I'm sure Scott will port some that he made for the rezound. Just give him time.

You realize a factory reset in CWM wipes the data and cache right? After that you just proceed to install the rom, why do you need a zip?

Exactly why I posted what I did....
so use recovery to wipe with 4 actions
or use zip and wipe with 1 action
every other device has wipe.zips why not the S3
and not the be a **** this was a request thread not a tell me why its a stupid idea thread or hey you can wipe using recovery blah blah
why its so hard for some of you to keep stuff on topic, will never know

Using the "date wipe/factory reset" option wipes everything in /data (this includes dalvik cache) and /cache. Then when you flash a Rom it will format /boot and /system.
I'm just trying to understand why there needs to be a zip for it or what benefits that would possibly have? I can use recovery and wipe data/factory reset with 2 finger touches on my phone, and then use a few more (depending on where you store your rom zips) to install the rom of my choice that will format /boot and /system. Even if you use a zip to wipe, you'll still have to install a rom, and it sounds like the zip method would require more actions.
I'm not trying to be a ****, just trying to understand because i've never used a zip to do my wiping. It was never taken off topic by me.

Nope. Anything on the internel sd card is safe as far as i know. I've never lost anything on it when wiping my data, and ive done that quite a lot.

Did you check MD5 before flashing? Could be a bad download.
Usually boot loop issues are due to left overs from your previous rom so,
If you're on CWM recovery , use this ORDER :
1.Reset user data/factory reset
2.Format System
3.Format Data
4.Format Cache
5.Format SD card (back up your important files first)..
Then flash the rom ... Don't wipe dalvik it's already in /data
This applies not just to CM10 , use this procedure to any rom flash or any nandroid restore ...

In such case,you have a problem somewhere else...Redownload the rom check its md5 and try again...Make sure you're downloading the correct rom for your device...
Hi, I'm using Google Nexus 5 from LG Electronics.
Model number in box says it's LG-D821.
Anyway, I'm having trouble with installing CyanogenMod11 on my Nexus 5.
It's not the fist time I installing after-market firmwares in Android device.
I unlocked bootloader via fastboot, installed latest ClockWorkMod non-touch recovery.
Then I installed CyanogenMod11 with ADB sideload, wiped out my data(a factory reset) just for sure.
Also, Installed Google Apps from goo.im/gapps.
I thought it was done, so I rebooted my phone. But it bootloops for 10 minutes.
Checked MD5...nothing is wrong. Downloaded the latest CM11 nightly...bootloop!
What should I do?
I think the order is:
- factory reset
- flash cm
- flash gapps
- reboot
just make sure you have everything backed up (especially EFS backup off the phone - read about it). you could then go back to stock (by flashing factory image), do a full stock boot, copy the CM nighly zip, go back to boot loader flash the recovery of your choice, and follow the cm flashing guide from the internal memory.

I tried wiping data, cache.
Dalvik-cache is included in data, (/data/dalivk-cache).
You don't have to wipe it manually if you wiped data partition.
I'll try installing CM11 using choose zip from sd card.
Thanks!

I'm using twrp v 2.8.7.0 is this ok?
If possible I want to save all files and applications, to have less hassle on downloading them again.
If not possible then, I don't have any choice to format the data.
