Hi guys.Now it seems i am stuck here.As the title says i can't flash a rom completly..because of me or because of the recovery idk....
What i do to flash a rom?Simple:Click on Wipe 'em all then i flash the rom i want.Every install ends too quickly.So when i click info (to check all my partitions everything is untouched but system has more than 260 mb free.I don't want to revert to stock so pls help me.
P.S. I have 4 ext recovery touch (latest) and a ext4 filesystem.
I had to read this a couple of times to try and understand,
however,
If in the event that a rom isn't flashing correctly, then its assumed that you aren't formatting or wiping the phone/device correctly.
I use clockworkmod recovery, however formatting these things on a clean new installs works for me every time.
Wipe data factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
wipe data
wipe cache
If you do not wipe these things you will effectively be flashing over the top of an existing rom.
For instance you wouldn't re-install Windows without formatting the drive. Its the same principle.
I hope that helps in some way.

what rom do you want to flash?
hello, last week i bricked my tf300, this is what happened...
i installed the energy rom along with the 4.2.1 bootloader, i was already using twrp 2.4.3.0 and it seemed to work fine for a while but then i had problems with a double screen after trying a different rom (cant remember which) anyway i tried the usual resets and wipes to to fix it but no joy. I then used the wipe data in bootloader thinking a full clean wipe would sort it but it just booted straight into twrp.
in twrp nothing will mount apart from system, ive used fastboot to flash various stock blobs, proper twrp img etc but even tho fastboot said everything flashed ok, i still boot into the old twrp which wont mount anything apart from system.
i then got an old 8 gig sd card and put stock roms and energy rom on root of the sd card , in twrp i mounted system but cant mount cache, data or sd card but strangely, i was able to copy the above roms from the sd card and move them to the mounted system partition which i was then able to install the energy rom with aroma installer , happy days i thought until after installation it rebooted straight to twrp again asking for password?
when i try to install stock roms by the above method it fails because cache isnt mounted. i think the twrp is corrupted, how do i fix this?
could someone with the know how tell me what im doing wrong,? should i full wipe again? should i wipe the twrp and how do i do this?
i am sort of a newb to this and any advice would be great
I'm planning on re-flashing my Moto G XT1031's custom ROM since some things with the ROM have borked.
As my thread's title question asks:
How do I do a "fresh" wipe or a "full" wipe of my Moto G for a clean install/flash/re-flash?
How do I go about this without losing TWRP?
And, apparently according to my friend I can re-flash via ADB. I've already got everything backed-up on my laptop.. Since obviously I won't be able to re-flash via TWRP after nuking my Moto G which would likely also nuke the ROM and gapps if I put those on my Moto G's internal storage.
You should be able to re-flash TWRP in fastboot.
You could use TWRP to do a full wipe of data, cache, Dalvik, system, and internal storage. Then use TWRP's mount function to copy the custom rom to the internal storage, and flash the rom.
For some reason, I have to factory reset my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/disappear-hard-disk-t3222734#post63254887
Just wanna know, since I have titanium backup on my nexus 5 devices. Does a factory reset (or any kind of wipes) wipe the internal storage of my phone (including the backup).
If so, how should i proceed with my backup if i wanna factory reset the phone
Thanks.

Wait what, why do u need to do a factory reset, and yes, as the name suggests, it leaves the device in the same state that u received it in, blank, but why would u need to wipe the device, I'm going to check out the link, bcuz now I'm interested
I have never seen this happen before and I've owned nothing but Nexus devices, well, to answer your question I have to ask a few, are u rooted, do u have a recovery installed? If the answer to those two questions is no, then connect to a computer, copy the files in your internal storage and place them in a safe folder on your computer, proceed to wipe the device as stated, then copy the files back onto the device, should take care of your internal storage.

That might work, in theory it should, as long as u go back to 5.1.1, or u could just make a data only backup in twrp, download the factory image, whether it be 6.0 or 5.1.1, use the pc and adb to manually flash the images, do this
1) make data only backup, move that backup to pc
2) extract the images, both the tgz file and the zip file inside to a safe location, u only need the radio, boot, system, and userdata images if 6.0, just system and userdata if 5.1.1
3) use adb to flash these images like this:
fastboot flash radio "radio.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot "boot.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system "system.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then boot to recovery, flash your backup and that's should be it

No u can't use the factory reset button in settings as the stock room won't recognize twrp, u can however use twer and wipe cache, data, and dalvik cache, or just do the reg factory reset wipe under wipe which should work as well as a factory reset, why are u trying to factory reset tho, if I might ask

because my nexus 5 showing 14gb instead of 32gb. I heard a factory reset will help the problem. I just dont know which factory reset (recovery or in setting) to do.
but if i use twrp wiping cache, data and dalvik (leaving system and internal storage alone).... will it wipe my lollipop os too? will it wipe my storage too?
what is the different between the factory reset under setting and the factory reset under twrp?
sorry for so many questions....

Ok so to answer your question, u can wipe anything EXCEPT Internal Storage, system, and boot and you won't lose anything, personally I would do this, boy twrp and use the regular factory reset, this will error everything except got the OS and internal storage, if that didn't work then I would manually format the partitions

thanks.
so i should wipe cache, dalvik cache and data and my phone apps+data will still be there right?
btw, what is cache, d cache and data maens?
Hi,
I accidently flashed TWRP, but i was already on emui9 so twrp doesent work there.
Now i can update the EMUI anymore because when the phone restarts during the install process it goes into recovery (twrp) which causes the update to fail
My question is: Can i remove twrp, maybe by flashing the orignal ramdisk image? pls help
You would have to reflash the recovery partition... Which we don't have, and since TWRP is kind of broken on EMUI 9.... well...
Can you just wipe caches and reboot to get the phone working? The update is stored in the cache partition, if you wipe cache it should boot normally.

Not if you are on EMUI 9... I don't believe so as we don't have the factory image for it, and to my knowledge we can't just dd it or make a backup of it right now. Although you might be able try the downgrade to 8.1 in another thread here, then upgrade via OTA again, but that's your choice.
I haven't installed TWRP on this devices, but basically go to the wipes menu, advanced wipes, and tick anything that says cache in it's name (often Dalvik cache and cache) and swipe to wipe them. This will not harm any of your data or applications, only the cache space. Then reboot.

Just flash your stock RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img*from your firmware. This will repair your recovery.
To extract images from*UPDATE.APP*in the zip, you have to use*Huawei Update Extractor.
