I just got the Marshmallow update. Now contacts aren't updating and the lockscreen is extremely buggy.
What should I reset and what will I lose in the process? If nothing else, is there a way of going back to lollipop?

bro, if you factory reset your phone, it will be definitely good..
i too have faced same problem, i took contacts and messages backup,
remaining things like'
wallpaper, settings,wifi passwords, and other system settings including Moto actions will be taken backup automatically with out our knowledge (these will be asked when your reset is completed)
if you have anything to backup , take backup to PC or any storage media other than Phone/memory cards :highfive:
Note: Backup means not singlefile backup, i am talking about copying of necessary files( except applications )
any further help feel free to ask
---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------
if you factory reset you will loose everything, except new marshmallow
all apps, all files, all contacts, all messages, every things..
but when asked to restore .. you will be given option to install Apps which are already installed previously..
to be precise : all user files will be deleted..
For me, although I am getting OTA notification (Android M 24.11.25.en.03) but after download, when i click install, the phone takes almost 10-15 minutes to just poweroff . it never moves to recovery mode. I have to manually start the phone. After starting the phone, the system prompts me that the update was not successful. Any suggestions what could be wrong? will clearing the cache help?

Are you purely stock? No root, no TWRP, no Xposed, etc?
If so, factory default, skip all the setup stuff, take the OTA and allow it to finish and fully boot, factory default again and enjoy Marshmallow.

Tried to search for hours.
First time flashing to CM 10.1.3 Stable. Came from stock rooted touchwiz.
Created Nandroid backups via twrp. Flashed via goomanager/twrp.
Flashed perfectly fine. But realized I had issues with my contacts backup. Tried to flash back to the nandroid backup and it never worked. It got stuck and the GS3 Cyanogenmod screen. Battery pulled and booted into recovery to flash the CM rom again. Went fine and then realized I could not use text messaging since the messaging app would force close instantly.
Tried to install Go sms since this is what i normally use. Got a -24 error which i solved by deleted com. data from the data/data folder. Was able to install it but now text messaging will not work at all. My backups of texts will complete the restore but it wont show up on the phone.
I tried to update the SMSC number as well to no avail.
I have no idea what to do now.
HELP!
Did you do a full wipe in recovery before you installed the new rom? I am sure you did, just throwing ideas out

Yes via goomanager options right before initiating the flash.
Thanks for the help. Trying to get this fixed.
Just discovered that texts through google voice work. I'm guessing because this is handled via data and not normal sms.
EDIT: Realized that was confusing. I have a seperate google voice number (for work) and the text messages for that work.
Also I am slowly discovering that every app gets the -24 error when I go to install it.
Could this have something to do with it? Typically all I have to do is delete the com.application folder of whatever I am trying to install and it allows me to install it. This worked on go sms for install but sms is still not working.
I would go into recovery, do a full wipe ( I wipe 3 times, probably overkill, but has always faired well for me) reinstall the rom and gapps, then wipe cache before you reboot. Seems like you have something corrupted and you are about going to have to start over to get it right.

That sounds like a good idea. I will do that when I get home. Will this delete everything from my phone? Including the external sd card?
I don't want to have to delete anything to get go sms to work. That must be happening because I have old data.
I wanted to start with cyanogenmod on a stable version. 10.1.3 is the most recent stable.

I don't know which recovery you have, but as long as you don't select the option to format the external sd card it won't.

So, I got the 4.4.2 OTA some days ago and just today I realised I had lost root. Also, I could not enter TWRP, so I flashed TWRP again and rooted the phone.
Everything went fine, but now the screens turns on by itself to show the lock screen every 3 or 4 minutes. I tried rebooting and then I tried wiping caches, but it's still the same.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It depends on a few factors, I think. 1) Do you have any apps that could induce a screen wake? 2) While rooted did you have any custom configs on your phone that is not part of the STOCK KitKat?
Look, my best solution especially since after an OTA while rooted is to do a factory reset and rerooting after that initial setup. I know that's not the most attractive option but if you can do it I would suggest to do it.
Oh oh, also, for some reason--and this is with FULL DISCLAIMER that I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS YOU MAY INCUR or if your phone EXPLODES--but whenever I do a factory wipe from recovery (I use TWRP) I don't lose my personal data, such as photos and music, because it only wipes Data, Cache, and Dalvik--which only holds apps and stuff. From my understanding, libraries from Music and Photos are in the *SDCARD* folder which isn't deleted in the factory reset function. Anyhoo... I suggest to do a FULL BACKUP before attempting anything I'm totally not responsible for ANY LOSS OF DATA
Haha... See how that goes
check if you have forgotten to grant permission for apps that require roots to work (e.g. Greenify, betterbattery, etc). When they ask for permission for root access in the background they will switch on the screen. This odd behaviour should go away once you have grant them access.
Thanks, guys. I was just coming back to say that it is fixed. Good to know about the wipe not affecting the emulated sdcard, Maxy.
It was actually because of what chi_heng said, I think. After rooting many apps were supposed to get permissions but SU wouldn't show the dialogue. I rebooted again a few times and waited and then some of those dialogues came up.
Thanks!

yep.. u are right.. this was happening to me the other day but on my nexus 7..
Nexus 5 stock 4.4.2 ROM.
What would cause this on rebooting? After the popup error booting continues and the phone seems to work correctly.
I deleted both cache and dalvik cache but that didn't help.
What is Process system?
Thanks.
Maybe you need to factory reset your device. Or if you rooted clean flash your rom.
Probably some of the system files got messed up? If it's bugging you, Flash the stock system, boot images and re-root.. Apps and it's settings can be backed up and restored via Titanium Backup.
Seems pretty radical. I was hoping for something less radical.
If I reset won't I lose all my system settings, accounts, and who knows what? I don't think tibu can restore those, can it?
If I accept the ota update to 4.4.3 (despite the problems about the radio, etc) would that overwrite all the system files?
I have nandroid back-ups and TWRP if that is helpful.
I am now having problems with widgets not working, Tapatalk not refreshing, etc.

It takes about 10-15 mins to setup your google, other accounts and system settings.
No, OTA update won't delete anything. But if you have changed any 4.4.2 system files you shouldn't install the OTA as it would break and abort installation.
If you have the nandroid backup of your complete stock rom, you could restore it and then proceed with the OTA. Kindly refer to the OTA helpdesk in the General forum which will clear all your doubts.
Thank you again.
I took the plunge, uninstalled xposed, and accepted the ota. It updated with no problems - but I lost root. So I will spend the 10 minutes rerooting instead.
On the good side, after the update, the error no longer appears and the widgets work again.

Hi,
recently i have noticed my Nexus 5 acting strangely. A couple of tasks have become very slow while the rest of the phone is fine.
Taking pictures normally is fine but when I try to take a HDR now it will take one, take an age to process it and will lock up the camera in the mean time.
Also taking a screenshot takes an age, first theres a delay then it takes long for it to save.
Finally when i come out of an app to the home screen's there is a 2-3 second phase where all it shows is the wallpaper and nothing else.
Other general use and using apps etc seems fine. Iv tried restarting but noting changed.
Anybody else having similar issues? any solutions to this.
Easiest fix is probably just backing up your apps and data with titanium backup and clean flashing the firmware again. Should weed out any troubles.
And give you a fresh clean start.
Just don't erase your internal SD.
yh your probably right, by clean flashing the firmware, do you mean factory reset.
I haven't rooted etc

You can try factory reset.
But I actually meant flash the firmware with fastboot.

If you have custom recovery, you can also try just wiping cache and dalvik cache first.

I've never used stock recovery on any device for anything. Lol
But good to know. ?
Hi,
My phone and all my personal data (4 years of photos, videos, and other app data) just got WIPED.
Here's how it happened:
* I was on OS 5.1.5 till yesterday. Had TWRP as my recovery and Magisk as my root method. Everything was hunky dory.
* Oxygen OS 5.1.6 hit my phone today. I downloaded the update and installed it. Before installing - it clearly stated that my phone will be unrooted by the update. I was ok with that, as I would have simply installed Magisk again from TWRP.
* After the reboot, I opened Magisk manager and saw that Magisk wasn't installed.
* So I did a reboot to recovery from the phone's reboot options (advanced reboot was ON in developer options)
* It did not boot to TWRP. Instead, I saw a stock recovery type screen (black background, OnePlus logo).
* There was a single text called "Decrypt" and a terminal type basic keyboard displayed on the screen.
* At this point I knew TWRP is gone and this would definitely be the stock recovery, asking me for my PIN, to decrypt storage.
* I entered my PIN and pressed ok. IMMEDIATELY after that the screen displayed the message - "Wiping" along with "do not turn off your device while this happens" or similar.
* I was shocked to see this, as all I had done was enter my PIN in a stock-looking recovery with the OnePlus logo.
* The phone rebooted, and lo and behold - I see the new installation screen saying "Hello" to me!
ALL MY DATA IS GONE. Without any fault of mine! I simply did an OS update, and boot to recovery!
PLEASE HELP!
So you went 4 years without doing a backup? I think your out of luck.
First, I am pretty sure all your data is gone absent some expensive recovery.
Second, when you took the ota, you went back to stock, which is why twrp and magisk disappeared. This is actually how the system is supposed to work.
I don't know what you did in the stock recovery to cause a wipe. You should have rebooted to bootloader and reinstalled twrp from fastboot.

pretty much. was just migrating data from one phone to the next using titanium backup/restore.
How could 4 years of photos and vids be gone? The phone is only weeks old. Surely you have backed these up to a cloud or even a pc at some stage? If you habe data backup turned on, you should have all your apps ready to reinstall.
You should have booted into bootloader, flashed twrp and magisk after the update. The OTA will always resort any custom recovery to stock.

I just kept migrating it from the previous phones to the next phones. Google photos does have backup of photos and videos. But there was so much more: SMS, call logs, whatsapp photos (the ones which were unlinked due to being moved to SD card earlier), screenshots, voice recordings, telegram images/videos, google authenticator tokens, and many apps whose data doesn't get backed up as part of android/google backup.

You have a rooted device with a custom recovery so how did you install those in the first place and not loose data then? That wipes your phone doing that. It wiped again because it was being unlocked and relocked that always wipes it.

Surely you have those titanium backup files though still right? Just restore from that, sure you may lose a week or two but it's better than 4 years.

Android is supposed to wipe data only on unlocking the device. Once it's unlocked there's no reason Android should automatically wipe data.
It did not get relocked. It is still unlocked. How did you come to that conclusion?
Also, I root my device ONLY to install TitaniumBackup and Helium. I do not meddle with anything else being root (no ROMs, tweaks, etc.). Is it my fault that Android STILL doesn't have a way to backup everything without having to root your phone and install special backup apps?
How can the OS just wipe the data partition without user consent? With NO message displayed whatsoever. Just ask a password go on "Wiping.. please wait". What the hell.

Yes I could recover some data from the SD card of my previous phone. Not the TB backups though.
I really need a way to (a) image the phone so that I can possibly recover/pay for recovery in the future (b) recover the data from the phone
I did a little reading. Apparently forced encryption is something that Android Oreo comes along with. All the data files are now by default encrypted (at a file level not a partition level). It is apparently encrypted with some randomly generated encryption key decided by Android, and not the PIN you have set to lock the phone. The PIN is just associated with that key. I'm pretty sure that key got deleted as well when the device was wiped (I'm assuming it must have been implemented like that as a security measure). So I have a wiped data partition with encrypted files!

It did have consent when you took the OTA with your modded device and it said decrypt and asked for your password it was about to wipe. Again you modded your phone and didn't keep a back up this is no one's fault but yours
Yeah I always back up my messages, photos, etc.. To a PC before any type of flash or update, I use smsbackup and have it uploaded to Google drive also titanuim backup and move the files to PC and just back ur DCIM folder. Sorry for ur luck but we all learn lessons the hard way, and no u Cannot recover, but if u have ur old phone may still have the texts on them and use oneplus switch to move them over
I guarantee this post is from a troll, nobody is dumb enough to do any or all of the idiotic things the OP claims.
Got the (important parts) of my data back. It only wiped the "data" partition - which contained internal app data and sms/calls, etc. It did not wipe the "sdcard" partition (also called "internal storage"). Found this out when I was installing TWRP again (before going through the OS welcome process) to create a dd image of my device for possibility of a future recovery. Android file transfer (thanks to TWRP's MTP support) popped up and showed all my files on the sdcard partition. Immediately backed it up.
To all those senior members who're making fun of this, thanks for all the help, really. You guys were really helpful.

I think this is impossible.. First the phone didn't return to me the root message before updating like oneplus 5 and second point, if you enter the pin to decrypt your data in recovery it never do an automatic wipe i'm a bit confused on what you've really done, but for sure you did something wrong because updating system had never wiped anything

Well this is completely possible, I just had the same thing happened to me. It was exactly as OP described it (except it was OOS 5.1.7, and it did not even ask me to input a pin when I rebooted to recovery). Fortunately I had a backup, so it didn't impact me much but still, it is a very weird thing.

Thanks for being sarcastic about being helpful. Sorry we can't hold your hand and fix all your problems because your not responsible for your own actions of modding your phone and can't take the consequences when they arise. Maybe you should learn how some more things work and what can happen when you do this before you do it and don't backup your device ever
