Hi All,
I have posted this on the GooManager thread but there hasn't been much activity there recently so asking here as well. Noob question on GooManager...I have the AOKP rom installed on my Sensation and GooManager notifies me of updates to my ROM every now and then. I just want to know if updating my ROM build with GooManager will reset all my custom ROM settings and preferences or will they all be preserved? I'd like to keep my ROM up to date but if it means spending all the time again to setup my preferences and icons/widgets/home screens etc. then I'd rather stick with what I have.
TIA!
I'd recommend to use GooManager only to download the newest ROM and flash it from recovery.
I asume you're using AOKP Swagger from frankenstine, the same I use.
I just download the update from GooManager, boot to recovery, flash ROM, gapps and 4.2 stuff and are ready to go.
All my settings are their after updating - only AdAway needs a reconfiguration and a reboot (and I need to set my alarm clock since I'm overwriting that). Basically you keep all your settings except those you made to the kernel.
Regards

Oh perfect, yes indeed I am using that exact ROM.
OK so when I boot to recovery, I shouldn't do any wiping? Just simply flash the new file? Will the updated gapps package be in the download I get from GooManager?

I only wipe dalvik & cache after each update.
I can't say something about what GooManager downloads as "gapps", I use some I downloaded some weeks ago + some old version of 4.2 stuff. I might need to update my flash-setup too

Thanks lolmachine, for the benefit of anyone who might have the same question as me the following worked:
- Downloaded latest build of my AOKP Rom via GooManager
- Downloaded latest gapps package for my ROM via GooManager
- Boot to Recovery
- Flash new ROM file and then gapps package
- Restart.
My only question is, I didn't wipe davlik and cache so should I, and what difference does it make if I don't?
I used Goo the other day to flash, ummm, bugger, can't remember if it was an update or a new rom.
Oh now I remember, the latest one was an update to Bruce's Rom. I do believe when I tapped flash rom it booted to recovery (the one it installs) and I may have had to select "Install" from there, don't think so though. Either way, I used Goo to handle the install.
I didn't do a wipe. From what I've picked up, wiping is a good way to cover your butt. So if you're having issues and didn't wipe, you go back and do it all again with a wipe. Doing the wipe to start with means you can eliminate those types of issues from the start.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am )
Hi there, I also received an update to my ROM via Goo Manager. It is CyanogenMod 10.1 by Albinoman887 for my HTC Sensation XE. I am using the EXT4 bootloader. I just installed it a few nights ago so I am completely new to rooting. My question is that there is no option to wipe dalvik cach. EXT4 just says wipe cache, wipe data and wipe system. Does wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as well. Also do I need to re-flash gapps as well after updating and will this wipe my gmail accounts etc?
Thanks,
Adam

You want to select "wipe dalvik+cache" option when you flash an update.
There's no need to flash gapps after a ROM update.

Simple.
Go to recovery.
For s-on you must enable smartflash.
Do a nandroid backup.
Dirty flash the update (meaning flash over the previous rom without wiping).
Dirty flash gapps (signed only).
Wipe cache + dalvik.
Reboot.
If it can't boot/run properly then you can just restore the backup or do a clean flash.
First off I'm not experienced in any way, got my Sensation unlocked, rootet and installed Sultanxda's 4.4.2 ROM for sensation. I'm on S-On, too, if anyone wonders.
Updating didnt affect my apps as far as I can tell. Everything seems to be the way as before and everything seems to be working.
What I did was download the ROM manually since the download with goomanager didn't work. I downloaded gapps as backup because I didnt have the zip on my SD, just in case anything would go wrong.
You only need to boot into recovery, with S-On make sure smartflashing or something like that is on, select the zip, flash it and then select wipe cache +dalvik.
It's pretty much what AndroidSupporter318 wrote, just wanted to give feedback and say what I did in detail in case anyone was still wondering.
LxMaD
I guaranted 4EXT Recovery for this type of problem. U don't need to boot into recovery and work with 4ext is very simple.
Hi all,
Over the past few days I have been using this splendid ROM, however something went wrong during the flashing of the ROM or I missed something, because all of my apps keep crashing and my stock browser app crashes everytime I use it. And I also get random reboots. I think it's the boot.img, but i'm tired of trying
I installed this rom in the Following order:
1. Wipe cache
2. Factory reset
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Flash the ROM
5. Rebooted into fastboot
6. Fasboot flash boot boot.img
And I also tried it in this order:
1. Fasboot flash boot boot.img
2. Wipe cache
3. Factory reset
4. Wipe dalvik cache
5. Flash the ROM
6. Reboot
What am I doing wrong here?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Adding some extra info just incase:
I came from stock sense 4.1+ android 4.1.1
Current device info:
UNLOCKED
S-ON
Hboot version 2.15.0000
Radio 1.11.50.05.28
I also tried redownloading the zip, but got the same result
At last i'm wondering if there are any specific kernels available for this ROM, and which 1 you guys recommend.
Thanks in advance!
In TWRP you want to factory reset then wipe system and then flash the rom and see if that works for you.

Em not sure but sounds a bit to quick. Get yourself 2.3.3.0 of TWRP and try with that and if its still being quick then do the wipes like I said but reboot but back into the recovery then flash the rom.
nevermind cheered too early... Seriously something is corrupting my phone
Maybe you have a bad download, try redownloading and flash.
HI, i have been having isues with my asus tf101 baterry, about one month ago it suddenly charge and discharges, like: 10%-25%-40%-70%-80%-100%...I made a factory reset but nothing. 2 weeks ago, it solved alone, without do anything, and was ok for 2 weeks, now again i have the problem..
i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).
I have a asus tf101 b70 root, with CWM recovery is a old version 5.0.26 something..

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.
Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery
Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?
Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want

Thanks!! I will try, but apart from wipe system(rom) what more wipes can i try without erase the rom?..I think not, because a week ago the battery was perfect working...i hope so.
CACHE,
DALVIK CACHE,
FACTORY RESET,
INTERNAL STORAGE,
FORMAT DATA
Only other 2 options are SYSTEM & EXTERNAL STORAGE
Just figured I'd give the heads up if you factory reset with a patched boot, for root or otherwise, it bootloops the phone twice and then goes to recovery. Flashing back stock boot img fixes it.
So don't be stupid like me and reset settings while rooted lol.
thank you for providing us this info, do u just have to go through the whole process again to TWRP/Root?
would it work, if u installed the stock unmodded boot image via twrp, do the factory reset/or clean install full OS zip, then install TWRPFix & Root all in the same session?

I would imagine so, I haven't tried that yet. TWRP broke wifi for me, so I went back to stock recovery for now, maybe I did something wrong, but I'm gonna hold out until theres an official TWRP.

If you have TWIRP why would you factory reset?
Why not just format /data?
Or does that also cause boot loops

u don't want to format data, u want to wipe data, Format will erase sdcard. That is what the factory reset does anyway is wipe the caches and data.

if youre going to factory reset might aswell format data in twrp

I could be wrong but I believe the OP might be talking about the root files and not twrp. Prior to twrp release, factory reset was the only option. As it happen to me also, after rooting device.
Plus Oneplus did not include a rom install zip in the stock recovery.
Damn, this AB partition setup really makes things a hassle
Bumping because other people are getting tripped up by this. Something in the factory reset process is not compatible with any sort of mods.
This happened to me as well. Not sure how I recovered, as I flashed via fast boot a bunch of image files. Is the boot image in the image files the latest stock boot image for 5.1.5?
For those of us rooted and no TWRP can someone link the stock boot.img?
Nevermind I found them on the ota page by titokhan

try it and let us know
So before factory reset we need to make sure to reflash stock boot.img that will unroot the phone and only then do a factory reset..
So factory reset with twrp is working or not?
Anyone know where I might be able to get the stock boot.img? My phone is now toast and the referred thread should carry a health warning
Sorry for the noob question but does factory reset delete the media partition too?

No, it does not.
this happened to me too. I was thinking of flashing the latest OxygenOS 5.1.11 with a clean install and I am rooted with TWRP. So what I did was reboot to recovery, wiped data, flashed OOS, then TWRP, reboot recovery and then flashed magisk. Then it got stuck in a TWRP bootloop.
Good thing I had a nandroid so i restored it and tried again.
This time I did the above steps but didn't wipe data. I booted successfully to 5.1.11 and i tried Factory Reset inside OxygenOS. Phone rebooted to TWRP and no data wipe was done. I did the Wipe Data within TWRP, same thing happened... bootloop to TWRP.
Nandroid restored again.
3rd attempt to dirty flash 5.1.11 but this time i didn't flash TWRP nor magisk and just rebooted system. I was back to stock. Then I tried factory reset again within OOS, it was successful so i had to do the whole TWRP and Magisk install again, and restored my apps via Titanium.
Moral of the story is (at least for me), Factory Reset within OOS or Wipe Data in TWRP both doesn't work. If i need to do a clean install, flash OOS then factory reset after rebooting to system, and then go through the whole TWRP and Magisk install process from scratch. Pain in arse really...:crying:
Hi,
after pitchblack test I have softbriqued my poco.
I used miflash pro for reinstall and everything was good.
but, after unlock again my phone, flash the recovery, (everything was good at this time) flash my rom, the rom doesn't want to boot.
I tried many rom , change the twrp, nothing.
If anaybody have a solution for this issue, you're welcome.
Thanks a lot.
may be flash again with MIFLASH(clean all ) and go to the end of the configuration and check if everything is good .
https://xiaomiflashtool.com/
have you done...
format data in TWRP after flash TWRP and before install ROM again?
best TWRP for me...
recovery-TWRP-3.4.2B-0623-REDMI_K30PRO-CN-wzsx150
start twrp, only via fastboot with my rom version xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK30Pro_20.10.16_v12-11
Thanks for your response.
I've got a first issue with miflash, but the second time was good.
I don't know why it was impossible to connect with fastboot! That's the game of flashing..
I forgot one thing during my flashing session.. : after unlock my bootloader, and reflash a new rom, I didn't set pattern password...... It was the issue!
edit: after miflash session I could repare my phone to stock global. But after this I want to change my rom, and the twrp bootloop became.really strange.
This morning I use miflashtools another time and I keep this version of miui.
I don't know why it impossible to reinstall another rom after complete miflafh process!
Always and always back in recovery, each time!

Twrp used: all! China twrp 0328, and maunofrio
Install rom: format data, always, reboot to recovery, always, flash, succeed, done.
Wipe cache dalvik.
Reboot, and it became to twrp.
With my Poco, I flashed maybe 30 or 40 times for test some roms.
But since I tested pitch-black twrp everything gone wrong!

So you must flash miui V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM with miflash. (no need to configure it just restart in fasboot and install trwp chinesse)
format data(if red lignes reboot twrp format again)->reboot twrp flash MMX rom, format data->reboot system
(do not use WIPE).

One month ago, wipe cache dalvik was enough to launch boot!
Big up!
