You should wipe after flashing anything. Period.

I found This topicon how to get back to stock recovery. My question is wouldn't you have to be on stock rom and the stock hboot for the OTA to work? or the HTCinstaller dosen't car just as long as the stock recovery is still intact?
I dont see the point, but thats just me.
New update comes out =new custom rom (stock or not stock) on xda
just backup important data before flash. some roms dont require a wipe if u r coming from the same rom 1 version under.
check rom threads. IMO no need for OTA.
Hi
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-I9100, I have copied over to my phone the nessessary files to flash a custom Kitkat based rom (Rom, Kitkat compatible CWM and Gapps) my question is simple, is it possible to flash the rom etc without wiping the data and factory reset etc?
Cheers
yes, it is
Rom installed but a little niggle exists
Ok
I have used CyanogenMod's brilliant online utility to install the latest KitKat rom 4.4.4, all is fine except that I have some contact details missing. I backed everything up using Kies the night before I installed KitKat, but now Kies doesn't want to connect with my phone even though I have enabled USB Debugging.
Is there any other way I can retrieve the missing contacts?
Cheers
I usually wipe.

I usually wipe before installing any ROM but to be safe just go by the instructions for the ROM.
Please ask in your respective fourm

Hello everyone,
just a quick question. I'm currently on a TW (obviuosly) Custom ROM (latest XtreStoLite). Can I flash a corresponding Stock Rom over it? Just dont wont to wipe and reconfigure everything.
Yes, you can.
Does format data make a a clean install of the rom or i need something else?
I have oneplus5, i just relocked bootloader to install stock oreo, so i wiped data/factory reset. And now i download and install oreo via OTA. Does this mean i have a clean rom?
And what if now i want to install a custom rom? How can i clean install it?
EDIT
Tell me only this to clear it on my mind.
Now i have stock oreo, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted. If i go to TWRP and wipe system and data ( and boot?? or this causes brick?? ) and then move a rom ( custom or not ) to internal memory[ I dont have SD card, Oneplus 5 ] (without exiting TWRP!!) and install it, this is a 100% clean install? Or if i wipe system, then i cant access TWRP anymore?
And last question. If the above statement is true, the rom i try to install must be the same version as the previous, if i dont want to brick my device? Cause the kernel has memorize it? What if i have android 5 and i wanna install custom android 8?
Just help me clarify these things and i think i will have my question fully answered!
Thanks i advance guys!
EDIT 2
This link shows the steps to clean flash a rom : https://www.guidingtech.com/47725/fl...-twrp-android/
But this applies if your current rom and the rom you want to install have the same android version, right? What if i have android 6 and i want to clean install android 8 custom?
Sorry for the confusing post and my bad english. And thanks in advance guys!
Someone can help me pls??
UP!
Pump! For last time..
Guys, i want flash a custom rom.
Someone write me full instructions?
Ex; Mi bootloader unlock etc.
unlock bootloader
Install twrp which i wont recommend because its unstable one and wait for official twrp if u don't want bootloop
after twrp ,mount all storage, clear all data ,cache but don't erase system data then flash Custom rom zip file and restart
Twrp is not working properly with Xioami.eu roms because Google change their code and kernel , better wait for new working TWRP and new realize
There are plenty guides on unlocking and flashing TWRP. I would suggest to not upgrade to A11 to avoid TWRP issues. What I did from stock A10 using Chinese TWRP:
Flash required stock rom base,
Flash custom rom,
Flash Gapps if required,
Flash magisk,
Format data,
Reboot.
