Wipe Dalvik/Cache is recommended but don't need to wipe data (factory reset)
just go to recovery and install newest package you downloaded

[Q] how to flash roms without losing data n files?

Alright guys I feel very nooby asking this but this is my first device that doesn't have a sd slot. Is there a way to flash a Rom without deleting the download and titanium folders?
My steps prior to flashing are
Wipe data, cache, n dalvik
Flash Rom
Then wipe cache n dalvik again
But if I wipe data then the Rom zip would be deleted before I can flash it?
Please help me on this thanks!

Hi,
Make only wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, tat's all then flash your rom and reboot.
Don't wipe anything related to sd card/ext sd card or internal storage so you keep all your files in your "sd card" intact.

This won't happen on your LG G2. Even when using CWM you can see it is looking for an external SD card in the command line when doing a Factory Reset. You're internal SD card is never touched.
When you flash a ROM just:
Factory Reset
Flash Rom
Obviously make a backup first if you're worried, and you may need to flash Gapps depending on the ROM you flash.
understood, thanks guys

[Q] Updating Custom Rom

Sorry if this is a noob question, but currently my phone is running on the alliance rom for t-mobile (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748569). When updating to the current version, is it necessary or advisable to do the whole factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache shenanigans, or can I just install the rom by flashing it over the current install?

Upgrading Radio Bootloader Help~

Hi
I'm currently on 4.2.2 and decided to upgrade to a 4.4 rom namely SlimKat.
Just wondering whether I need to flash new version of radio and bootloader before the ROM?
I believe that I need to do a full wipe of my phone.
Does full wipe means the following?
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Do i need to format system and boot?
Thanks in advance
Yes, do a Data + System + Dalvik + Cache wipe and then flash the Slimkat.
No need to wipe anything else or flash new version of radio and bootloader.

[Q] Flashing various TW Lollipop fw over existing CM12 fails

Hello,
actually I'm using a SGS4 I9505 with cm-12-20150304-NIGHTLY-jfltexx and CWM 6.0.5.1.
I've tried to flash several TW Lollipop firmware wich i found in the I9505 forum:
1. Kushan+Touchwiz+Lollipop+Lite+Rom+v.1.2
2. S4_Echoev42_EchoePop2_020315
3. OA7-2.1F
4. XXUHA07-v2.01
Before flashing any oft this firmwares i made a factory reset, wiped both caches and installed the modem Firmware via Odin.
After flashing firmware # 1 and 2 my phone was stuc in a bootloop (only Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo appears).
Flashing firmware #3 and 4 fails and cwm reports error 7.
Flashing cm12 afterwards isn't a problem and runs fine.
I think the wipe fails or doesn't work properly. Is it enougth to select factory reset in cwm and wipe the dalvik cache manualy?
What can I do?
With besteht regard
Mirko (NemesisMF)
What if it is a recovery problem?
Thought about that too.
Should i try twrp or philz?
I switched to Philz Recovery and flashed S4 Echoe Rom v42 without any Problems.
CWM seems to have a problem to falsh TW Lollipop images ower an existing CM12 an the I9505.
You need to do full wipe not just cache.

As I wrote above I did a factory reset before flashing and wiped the caches with cwm. If that is not enougth it would be nice to explain what else I have to wipe or post a link.
While using philz recovery the factory reset for clean system is enougth and the new System is working fine.
Factory wipe is not full wipe, you need to do a full wipe as in format to install new rom, phillz recovery has this feature can't remember exactly where, I think its under advanced.
Just have a look in the sub menus.
Just to explain it better when you do a full wipe it deletes every part of the existing
Rom including the system, data and cache and some other stuff completely removing the android operating system, so unless the rom you install does a wipe before install parts of the existing system will remain and can cause boot issues. For example as you've already discovered you are trying to install a tw rom over an existing cyanogenmod 12 installation which Will cause it to hang on boot.

Do you mean a factory reset from within Android itself? If so, then that's a complete obsolete step. When before flashing a rom you should perform a factory reset, then they always mean a full wipe from the recovery. You need to do a full wipe from the recovery. That means the /system partition is being wiped. You will see it in the screen during the wipe if it wipes /system.
But it also could have been a problem of CWM. I don't think it is being updated anymore, so better use TWRP or Philz.

Try with latest TWRP and backup your current rom
1) download pie rom and save it to your SD Card or OTG Pendrive
2) if you are from stock rom, possibly its partition is ecrypted, you need to wipe data partition first
3) wipe the system, data, cache, dalvic cache, vendor,
4) flash the rom and gapps and wipe dalvic cache, cache again
5) reboot to system
