DO NOT WIPE/factory reset AFTER you installed the LOLLIPOP update - Ascend Mate 7 General

Many people in the forum have tried to install the new lollipop 5.1 beta, including me, many reporting problems like:
empty motion control,
no huawei keyboard,
largeness,
some other bugs or thing that you feel weird.
The reason for most of the problems is that you did a wipe/factory reset AFTER you installed the lollipop update.
You SHOULD NOT do that.
If you want a clean lollipop ROM, you should wipe/factory reset JUST BEFORE you installed the lollipop update.
The reason is that the lollipop update is an incremental update(and it's still in beta), so some system data is treated as user data for wiping/factory reset. Therefore some system data will be erased on such wiping.
Hope I made it clear.
Really feel that an independent thread should be opened to address this information to people.

Hope people can see this.

I concur. You can see from the size, that all those lollipop beta are actually incremental update

Not necessarily..
I have used 3btn way to install B137SP03 which does all wipe erase,
and then I carried on updating B141(via local update dload) without system modification so ''clean'' install of B141, then I installed B312 (5.1.1)
But IF somebody missing something in mobile and DID backup in previous ROMs (4.4.x) you can just do restore and all missing things will reappear ..

maybe people should not install the beta at all.

my mistake
Made this mistake just now before I read this post.. How re install it again, I tried to the local update again but same result. Lots of bugs and missing 5x5 layout and motion control.

Install roll back/transition pack to get to B300, then roll back to 4.4, then re-install. You'll have your 5-5 and motion control back.

the downloading and installing process was too slow..

Thanks mate!
The downloading and installing process was too slow.. any fix for this?
and I can't activate the the doube tap, Draw function after reinstalling

So, let me clear :
1. I'm in B324 and install B300
2. Then I install B137 (with automatically WIPE/factory reset)
3. Then I install B324 and then I have all settings who missing ?

It was happened with me too so i googled and found that i have installed the wrong rom/firmware. I think you must choose the correct rom according to your model number & region which is the most important part of upgrading.

[Q] Google Play Edition 4.4.2 - Backup & Reset Settings Crash

Good Afternoon,
I searched around and was unable to come up with any answers, or similar forums for that matter.
I would post this in the thread that I downloaded the update from, however I'm apparently a noob
and am unworthy to post there until I post ten times.
>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761322
Anyways, I downloaded Google Play Edition 4.4.2 for X907, I updated from the official VZW 4.4.2
using RSD Lite. So far I love it, however there's one thing that erks me, when ever I try and open
"Backup and Reset" under the Settings Menu I'm informed that "Settings has stopped working".
When I flashed the update, I kept userdata, I did however Erase Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it bugs me that this one thing doesn't work
Thanks.

Hmm. just a thought on yours, might be wrong but did you flash an official or take the OTA for 4.4.2 prior to upgrading to the Google Play Edition of 4.4.2? If not that's your problem.
Hope that helps..

I'd just backup using TWRP and then if you want to factory reset, do it on TWRP as well. I had GPE and don't recall this issue, though I did a full data wipe when I did because I wanted a fresh start.

Thanks, I was hoping not to have to resort to that, as it's such a tiny problem, I just realized that my camera app is having difficulty focusing
although I think that's a KitKat issue. Oh well I already have a NANDROID backup, so I'll do just that, factory data reset and see if that helps if not oh well I'll just restore.
Thanks again.

As long as you are rooted and not on ART xposed will work. I did it on my stock ROM, and also on GPE.

Go to the App Info page for the Settings app and clear data. That usually works when the settings crashes after a rom update

Thanks, it's just a bug in the gpeLse for the XT907, other users are having the same problem, no matter how many times I re-flash
and or wipe dalvik and cache the problem persists.
Probably do to the removal of something Motorola Had in place in the 4.4.2 release for the XT907, as I knew it was working with the Stock Rom.
Thanks All.

Missing system apps means that you did not flash both .zip for that version. You are supposed to flash full rom and data zips.

Guys, an easier way is this. Just turn on Battery Saver mode and your update or download will start immediately...

You can also delete Google Play Services cache, this works pretty well in those cases. Even if you have problems trying to download a device system update.
Even it's data (in this case you'll have to add an account for Google's data backup again).
However, keep in mind this kind of processes won't work well if you have enabled apps, device features or Magisk modules that force device to save battery in some way.

Would be good to tell us which system you've installed.
Any custom ROM? Are you in stock?
On the first case, check ROM installation.
If it came with gapps preinstalled, better flash an updated version of that ROM (clean or dirty would change, depending of Android major verion in which that update is based), otherwise flash another gapps, I use OpenGapps.Try to flash, at least, nano gapps.
If you're on stock, things are quite different, since there you haven't the same way so solve things, more than than reflashing firmware.

Stock Android One version 9 (Pie) with regular updates. :silly:
Looks like something is screwed up there.
Is your device rooted?
I feel that would be better to backup your data and flash latest firmware with Mi Flasher tool.
The same is happening some times and on my A1 and is fully updated stock rom without root or any other thing...
I think it has to do with the latest version of Google store or Google services...

Sorry, I thought that I read every line
Well, he can download the entire rom+firmware from sammobile and erase all the data. If that didn't works, then there is a problem with the apps.
Try to reset it from Reccovery mode and wipecache
I found a solution. Perticular 2 apps are not working. So i download the previous version of those app & install it. Then update it from play store. After that it works without any error :victory:

Google Photos - stuck backup

Hello people, I am new to this device and forum. I would appreciate any help you can give. I love the device, but I am struggling with something concerning Google Photos. It keeps getting stuck at various points in the backup process. I have searched several ways and have tried the suggestions about uninstalling updates, clearing the data cache, even purchased a new SD card... but still it is stuck. On previous phones, I have had NO problems with this at all on my previous phones. I have updated to MIUI 11 and I am using Nova Pro as my launcher. I have also tried using the Gcam mod on the phone and somehow I wonder if this is part of the issue?
Feedback please.
Solved with MIUI 11. Update and make full reset AFTER update (Settings --> About Phone --> Backup and reset --> Clean all data --> All).
Worked for me. If not, i dont know (try with another account?).

Thanks for the info! So, were you having similar issues before you did the reset? I have already updated to MIUI Global 11.0.4 but I have not tried the reset yet.
To help with this conversation... it seems that if I remove all the Google Photo updates, it behaves correctly, BUT when I allow the app updates to go through, the backup issue returns.
I will try the reset suggestion soon and report back.
To keep this discussion moving along, here is an update... I did the full reset after I had already upgraded to MIUI 11, however, the same issue persists for me. If I allow Google Photos to update past what was originally installed, the app gets stuck again. I can uninstall all updates and clear the caches and it will start working OK again. This is a pain and the issue should not exist. Let me emphasize that the devise is NOT rooted and is all original. I have installed Nova Prime launcher from the Play Store and my usual apps.
Anyone else have ideas - outside rooting and using a custom ROM?
Ok, to add a little more... I removed Nova as I wonder if there is some incompatibility with how it works with MIUI. It was acting a bit odd at times and "often" it would loose its ability to display notification badges. It would say that I needed to enable notification access, but I am 100% sure that it was already allowed. I would then turn that permission off and back on and it would start working again. So, I have gone to the less custome "Poco" launcher which is sup[posed to be a more official Xaiomi product.
