Reflash ROM w/o wipe? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let's say i'm using Pure Nexus ROM and want to reflash the same ROM without losing the data on my device, is that possible? I mean it's the same ROM so it should work without any problems, right? Wiping cache should be enough, or am I wrong??
Thank you

Yes that's absolutely possible.

[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?

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

You could try to do factory reset or to reflash 2.1 kdz file
My brother had same problem with bluetooth and i just pulled battery out of his phone and after that it worked :silly:
Factory reset erases every installed apps in the phone right?
that wouldn't be an option to me especially that it would just be a 'trial and error thing'
Guys please help!!

backup your apps + data with titanium backup, then wipe data/factory reset.
see if it works and restore your apps

alright, maybe that'll work but is there another way to solve this without doing the factory reset?

guess not. if you're on stock 2.1 (rooted) there's no way to change the system except flashing kdz, which means: factory reset

[Q] Wipe before restore?

Quick query... when restoring to a previous ROM after trying out one and not liking it much, should I treat it as though I am installing a fresh ROM and do a full wipe before hand? Im using Philz Touch 5 CWM V6.0.3.4

It's obviously a cache cleaning software you have installed that is incompatible or misconfigured.

Its because you're using a custom rom. Try to use stock rom.

No, I use stock rom, kernel, recovery, and not rooted where I get this from sammobile and flash via odin.
"Internet has stopped responding" do you want to wait or stop, that I get sometimes with 4.4.2.
Someone else who have that problem?

Make shure bootloader updated. Sometimes you need to flash twice wit odin to make it work.

question about flashing a ROM

hello ..
i have galaxy s4 Lte (Jfltexx) running on Android 6.0 By CrDroid ..
i'm asking if i can flash another ROM ?
i mean i'm already running on Custom ROM and i want to change it to another custom ROM ..
so i have just to "clean install" (wipe system/cache - flash ROM.zip - flash Gapps...) or there's another method to do it ?​
There's no other method, unless you want to risk having problems.

ROMs are all built differently and some have various tweaks under the hood.
Knowing that, do you really think it's a good idea to flash a ROM on top of a completely different ROM?
So, I may face problems and I may face not?
And what if flashed the original frimeware, and then flash the ROM I want to flash? Is that safer?
And thanks.

You would only complicated yourself.
Just wipe and flash.
