Hello, I'm using cm11 but I got bored of its ugliness again. I want to turn back again to the stock rom but don't want to format my phone, is there any way to this?

Yes, I lost my hope after a hour and just flashed the stock rom and did data wipe. But it still would be great to learn if there's a way to do it without data wipe...

Then you can use the firmware from sammobile that doesn't wipe.

Firmware I use doesn't wipe but phone doesn't open when you don't wipe, that's the problem. It just get stuck on the boot screen

If you flash a new (base) rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik -cache, This means your old dalvik -cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, after restoring a system only backup it is actually the same as the above one, since only /system is restored (when reverting back to stock) there is an incorrect
dalvik -cache present which will cause the bootloop. Note that some roms/ firmwares use /data and some use /cache for the
dalvik -cache.
So basically you won't be able to do that without formatting, sorry
Don't just say thanks, press the ? button.

Softbrick is when the device is bootlooping due to system problems.
Hardbrick is when the device can't go to recovery and download mode.

If you wiped the sdcard all is gone, you have to push or sideload a rom in recovery to get the phone running again. Or flash a factory image in fastboot.

I just did a factory restore after backing up my data, like in CWM

I can still boot the phone just into my rom, but there's obviously no data and stuff so it says to activate my google account and stuff, is the data gone still?

Well then bootup and look which data is still available, data factory resets don`t wipe the backed up recovery and TB backups.

When I click on restore it is just empty, I didn't do the advanced, wipe, just the normal one.

You might try doing another backup in recovery, sometimes afer that all backed up recovery`s show up then.

Download the factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=nl and extract it with 7-zip. Flash the boot.img in fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Do you even have a OS atm as you formated data?

I can imagine somebody else must have done this, you click on wipe, and there are two buttons, and a bloody ad looking swipe thing, I just clicked format and it told me to type in yes, so **** it.

Twrp changed it ages ago and now it seems to automatically include wiping data. I almost did it when it first changed but noticed just in time. Always always use advanced wipe and just tick what you want

I will sure as hell remember this. so damn annoying
Read before wiping anything. I almost wiped everything but I read before I did anything and I caught it. I do backups every few days and I back up to my cloud as well. I had a hardware failure with my Evo 4g when it came out (I smashed it) and lost all my stuff. Ever since then I do nandroids and back them up too.

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

You need to perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) in order to go down, which will wipe everything except your internal storage. You can use Titanium Backup to make a backup of your apps and then restore them after you've flashed the cm-12.0-YNG1TAS2I3 zip. Titanium requires root, so if you don't have root you'll need to flash SuperSU in order to use it.
Why do you wanna downgrade good sir? is there some problems?
im still on kitkat 4.4, and since the new update to COS12.1, i've been considering to upgrade, but still trying to consider the pros & cons here

Don't panic,...Change your TWRP with early versions (2.8.x), I tought you already using newest versions of TWRP (3.x.x) which only working if you already in marshmallow.

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.
