When flashing a rom, what are the step by step procedure when using TWRP? I dont want to accidentally full wipe my phone. I dont know how to use twrp but in cwm u just press wipe data/factory reset then flash rom then advanced>clear cache and dalvik cache.
How do you factory reset in twrp w/out wiping internal? What button should i avoid in TWRP?

Below is a simple How To video, you can always replay it plus I thought it might be nice to see what you are going to be doing. This is not for the G2 but it will function all the same.

I can reboot into Bootloader, but when I try to boot into Recovery it kicks me back into bootloader. Im using Rom Manager and Clockworks. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
Use amon-ra its 10 times better than clockwordmod just download this http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
drag it to sd card and go to into bootloader thern fastboot and it should say update
Step one, get rid of Rom Manager.
Step Two, flash Amon Ra.
Fixed....
That did it. Thanks guys. Follow up question..do I do a full wipe or Delvick- Cache wipe when flashing Roms? Im used to letting ROM Manager do everything for me that im not 100% sure.
Do a full wipe User Data/Factory reset, then wipe each sub-category, EXCEPT SD Card.
Heck, I re-wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache twice.

No sweat any time bro
Hi there
I seem to have a problem flashing 4.3 roms, actually any rom that isn't stock in general.
Right now I am running syzmel's 20E with 1.3ghz overclock version 3.09.
Back to the problem: this is the steps I take to upgrade to any rom: 1. Download (slimbean, vanir asop) 2. flash v20D (unmodded) 3. Root it using Framaroot 4. Install CWM using L7CWM.zip (extracted, then clicked on flash bootloader, flash recovery, and then booted into recovery) 5. Boot into CWM 6. Click on factory reset and reset 7. Go into mounts and storage and format /system 8. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. 9. Flash either 4.3 version slimbean or Vanir ASOP (tell me which is better) 9. Flash gapps (Slimbean: Slim AIO minimal Gapps, Vanir: 4.3 minimal Gapps which is found in the Vanir ASOP page) 10. Factory reset again 11. Wipe dalvik 12. Reboot
Now as soon as I reboot, either it stays rebooting, or boots once and when you reboot it stays at the boot loading page (slimbean logo, or android logo) (In other words, once you go black, you never go back. Not being racist, just saying once it blacks out it doesn't work no more). So i retry. And then I give up and stick on v20E.
So please suggestions?

Are you sure it wipes made correctly?
Danm, yes I'm sure.
Why you dont format cache and data & data/media ?
Did you try boot without gapps... Sometimes bad gapps cause a lot of problems

When you factory reset it clears cache automatically. I'll try without Gapps.
wipe data,wipe cache wipe dalvic cache

How do you factory reset? Factory Reset is NOT only wipe data

Factory reset in CWM clears cache automatically.
....Anyway, I finally fixed it. Turns out I had to wipe EVERYTHING. Including /data and /data media. Thanks anyway guys.
LG Optimus L5 E610 - CWM Bootlooping
Basically I inserted a pre-rooted firware into my lg phone using 20d+root + cwm.kdz, everything was fine including the flashing, I some how got the the CWM recovery and done everything such as wiping cache, etc, but the problem was before and after the wiping, etc, is that everytime i press power button it turn off and on and back on to the CWM recovery screen not home screen with apps, etc.
I am really fustrated, please Help!:crying:
Hello people. Just wanted to ask how is the right way to wipe when flashing a rom WITHOUT losing the rom (wiping internal)? In CWM i just factory / reset data then thats it then clear cache and dalvik cache. In TWRP do i just need to swipe when the screen says "Most of the time this is the time that you need" when i will flash rom? Thanks for guiding!
anyone?
1. factory reset
2. advance, wipe system
thats all for me, works everytime... just make sure to wipe cache/dalvik after flashing zip files be it roms or gapps or whatever :good:
The default "most of the time" option is a fresh reset of the phone. it wont wipe the ROM itself, but all the data will be lost and you start over. Wiping system will remove everything, a ROM must be flashed after wiping system.
So before i flash a rom i wipe the "most of the time" then advanced format system? right?

true that... sorry for misleading initially, format system only applicable if you wanna have clean install of new rom

No need to use format system unless you are installing a fresh ROM. Format system will remove everything from your device (other than sdcard info and all that). So you get a clean slate.
If you just want to flash an update to the same ROM you can either 'dirty flash', which I usually just wipe cahce/dalvik then flash the ROM and reboot, and you save all your user modified things, or you can wipe system and install the ROM. You lose everything that way so make backups.
Usually there isnt much need to factory reset unless you're having an issue with something. What is it you're trying to do?
I wanted to flash a stock based rom. Thank you.
How do I flash from L To a custom AOSP KITKAT？ Do I need to flash the factory image at first or I just boot into recvoery and flash the cutom rom?Did anybody know? THX!
To be safe, you'd do a factory image flash. That way you know you have a good starting point. There's the boot image, including the ramdisk, and radio (depending on what platform you're running on) that would have changed.
Or, if you're feeling lucky, clean wipe and flash your new ROM. What's the worse case scenario? You have to do it twice.

The safest way is
Download L port
factory reset once
wipe cache dalvik
flash ROM
wipe cache and dalvik again
reboot
done,
Gapps included.
I never got problem with these steps.

Hey,guys,I have just ask the L's developer ,he said that the L he developed uses the same baseband and bootloader as the Kitkat,so there is no need to flash a factory image at first , instead ,we can just directly flash the Kitkat aosp ,Thanks for his kindness!

That's what he meant. Format system and data. You'll find that option on the custom recovery.

You just need to get a flashable one and your good to go. Just wipe system, data and caches and flash it. I tried both ways by recovery and by script and its the same experience. But if you follow the script and flash through PC you'll surely lose all your data.
I have a weird issue with my N9005 (hlte). I just got it new and am still a little inexperienced with flashing it. Preblem occurs when flashing ANY CM12 based rom. Flashing works well with TWRP 2.8.5.0 but once Android booted just after enetring my PIN the display turns off and I can't do anything and have to hard reboot my phone. CM11 runs without any issues
I'd relly like to go for CM12 so any help will be appreciated.

I performed a full wipe before flashing. Any advantages wiping again, once flashed?

If you read installation instructions from temasek it says clear dalvik and cache. For good measure. No full wipe after flash. Only cache and dalvik
If i full wipe my phone after flashing ... i got no System at all ...
It looks like -> this <-

Lol
Haha I did correct myself and told you to not full wipe after flash. Only do that before flashing. Wipe dalvik cache and cache after flashing.
Do a clean install and try again. Full system, data wipe and caches in recovery. Use twrp doing that. Then flash and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot. Use the latest build 8.7
