[Q] When do have to wipe?

Hi there,
I was thinking about it a lot, but I'm still not quite sure...
I thought about trying a Android 2.1 or 2.2 rom, just to find out how it looks and works. Im currently on hcdr.rom (Android 1.6).
Do i have to wipe before flashing the higher Android-Version-Rom?
What if I don't like it and want to flash my nandroid-backup of HCDR.Rom back? Do I have to wipe here (note: I'm talking about flashing a backup...)?
Greetings

Yes. At least partially.
So lets say I flash a Rom like Pancake. I wipe before flashing this.
But when I perform a nandroid-backup of my HCDR.rom-Backup i shouldn't have to wipe? Correct?

hi
yes u have to do a full wipe at least it is advisable and that is what i do
so id advise u to do a wipe before flashing any rom i do it every time

I saw this thread and got a question.. I have CM mod, but i lost my nandroid backup. Can i do factory reset without backup ? Does this wipe could do the job ? thanks

If wipping didn't work. Maybe you should go back to stock.
Then you can try Hyperion again or maybe another rom. Search the Doky73's stock firmware collection thread to get an Odin flashable stock rom for your device.
Good luck :good:

Don't worry all you need to do is flash stock rom using Odin the info you need is here

If you got stuck on logo, just flash your phone to stock ROM using Odin, you can use search feature and write on there, at GT-S5360 dev forum for file stockrom and other tools
And if you want to using custom rom again, read first about changelog at page customROM before you flashing
Sent from GT-S5360 using xda app and click thanks if i helped you

Knowing u flashed all that, YES. You need:
- Download one good STOCK rom (I supose will be android 4.2.2 with old bootloader) for ur device
- Go to custom recovery
- Wipe all (system, data, cache and dalvik cache)
- Reboot ur phone in DOWNLOAD MODE
- Use ODIN and flash the stock rom

[Q] newbie question ! customer recovery for 4.4.2?

Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest
