Hello,
My friend has an OPT. Yesterday he received notification about OS upgrade. He went ahead with it and voila.....phone stuck at boot.
Service Centre asked him to wipe data in Recovery. Now here the questions, gentlemen
1. Will wiping data wipe whole 64gb? He has his kid's photos that he doesn't want to lose.
2. Anyways to flash Custom Recovery without "OEM unlock" flipped ON in Developer Settings?
Thank you so much for all help !
Someone kindly help. Its urgent.
Thank you !
Just wipe data and cache. It will wipe apps and contacts but your photos and files will stay safe. You don't need custom recovery to do that.

Thanks for reply.
So wiping data doesn't touch Internal storage? Sure?
If yes then you just saved my friend

Btw is there any way to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP without "OEM unlock" switched ON in Developer Settings ?
Glad I have helped.
Sorry, I don't know that becouse I am running fully stock OP2.

no, it will not, cuz all that is suppose to be in the backup you made before, just clean the system before restoring, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik, then try restoring your backup and wait at least 10 minutes, and report back, good luck cheers:fingers-crossed:

bro if there's nothing else then you will have to flash a stock rom thru Odin, and it will wipe your phone completely, but at least you will be able to boot your phone again, report back, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
can't i flash it the stockrom trough odin and then just restore the data ?
it works when i restore my 5.0.1 backup but not my 4.4.4 =<

You upgrade your device to 5.0, so kitkat4.4 cwm backup didn't work 4 u bcuz ur baseband version changed with lollipop upgrade & cwm recovery is unable to backup baseband/modem.
U have to downgrade ur firmware to kitkat4.4 & then cwm backup will work.
how do i do that is it enough to just re-flash via odin will it reset to the correct modem and stuff?

Yes,after flashing correct stock firmware ( full Odin package like xxx.tar.md5) with Odin ur device become brand new: official.
U have to root it again & again install cwm recovery.
For flashing stock firmware Tutorial,search on Google.

do you know if there is a backup app that backs up all like baseband and such so i can downgrade with simple backups?
Hi, in order to restore your Android kitkat backup you need to downgrade from lollipop. In order to do that you have to flash a stock ROM (from sammobile). If your device is not locked for your service provider then it shouldn't really matter which region's ROM you flash. Then flash cwm recovery to restore your backup. If after flashing the stock ROM you enter a boot loop (and maybe not allowing you to enter download mode to flash cwm) try entering recovery mode (Power + Home + Volume Up) and factory reset your phone through the stock recovery. This should restart your phone without causing a loop. After that just flash cwm back and restore your stock backup.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

Hi,
I have G935F, installed TWRP 3.0.0.0 and rooted, WITHOUT wiping. System boots correctly, but I cannot do factory reset or wipe with TWRP, because I got some messages like "Cannot mount Data" and "Failed crypto loader". I understand that it has to do with encryption. Can someone please enlight me, and give me tips about the issue?
Thank you

You have to download dm-verity and force encryption disabler from here , put it to SD card, reboot into TWRP, FORMAT DATA (not wipe) and flash that file (dm-verity and force encryption disabler). All your data will be erased.
No way to unencrypt without loosing you data for the moment(
"All your data will be erased" means that after boot I'll find a clean system installation (as factory reset)?
I hope not to be posing stupid questions, I'm completely new to this world
Thank you very much
Yes just as a factory reset

No, you cannot perform a backup, because your data is encrypted by default and the only way to disable it is to format your data.
I have a unique problem. I have a HTC Desire 612 from Verizon and I decided to revive it to playe PoGo. But it was stuck in a boot loop and I couldn't get any custom ROM.
Finally a gentle soul here gave me the stock rom and I flashed it vide TWRP and played PoGo for weeks. Then yesterday the phone bro led and when it came up it was stuck in a boot loop.
So I decided to flash the stock ROM again. But before that I tried to factory reset. I could go to TWRP, select wipe data, enter yes and the wiping was successful, then clear dalvic and cache and system beforehand finally I flashed the stock ROM.
Surprise surprise is NOTHING happens. The phone boots without the apps telling me they are installing. Then I get back the exact same data in my phone including my selected wallpaper and apps. Before I can do anything the phone restarts.
Point is wiping and restoring the stock ROM does NOTHING to the phone yet the processes are successful. Can somebody help?

Last evening my Phone battery was 2% and I continued using the phone with a charger (whatsapp, fb, etc), it was charging but the battery was draining faster I guess, and it came down to 0% and abruptly shutdown. It was greyscreen for a while (just the backlight i guess). I removed the battery and restarted and since then its stuck on MI boot logo. I have tried restarting multiple times with battery off. Also tryed wiping cache through recovery.
I dont want to reset through recovery as there is data i need to take out first. MI PC suite detects it but keeps saying "connecting". I can bring up the Fastboot mode, but im not sure what to do after that for backing up data.
- Is it possble to backup my user data through fastboot mode??
- Can i try Flashing a stock firmware without loosing user data on mobile flash memory ?? (how, what firmware to use?).

I flashed twrp and got all my data out. I also took a backup of system and data partition just incase. Then flashed the latest fastboot stock rom and my fone's working now.
Just a question, will I get all my settings and apps back if I restore the data partition from twrp ??
Nevermind, I just restored the data partition and the phone is back to just as it was before I started this thread !

Hey XDA. I have a question, I just got this phone and I was wondering how to flash properly? On my old phone I would just wipe everything in twrp and flash a new ROM, but when I wipe in twrp on this phone all my files get encrypted including the ROM that I'm trying to flash on this OP6T, any help would be appreciated

Can't help you with the root but searching does help. Search a guy on YouTube name techibee he had a good video. But one plus has a backup so if you mess up one boot partition you have the other to correct easier. Basically a backup so your phone boots and not bricks
