Just a quick question:
I know that i have to be in stock lollipop rom to install lineage or cyanogen, I installed stock lollipop then lineage 14.
But if im already in lineage 14 and i want to reinstall the rom, do i have to flash lollipop again via odin and then TWRP, then wipe and install or can i just install without going to the whole process of odin etc?
Also, factory reset works as in stock rom, or do i have to reinstall?
Sorry, i know this is noobish, but its bothering me since days ago and i cant find a clear answer.
Thank you for reading!

You can reinstall it without repeating the process.
I don't know about it's factory reset, but i guess it should work.

if u are reflashing the same rom again then no need to wipe data.just on twrp wipe system,cache,dalvik cache and then flash that rom again ...no loss of any data.but if u want to go to stock firmware then u have to flash stock via odin...there all user data will be erase....if u want to make factory reset like stock on lineage then open twrp and wipe data.....all user data will remove.

Hello to all,
as one can easily deduce from the title I would need a guide with all the steps you can take to upgrade from the version of Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2 to the latest version 4.4 RC2.
I wanted to wait for it to come out of beta before flashing the new version but now I do not know if I need new bootloader and radio or make other steps introduced with the new versions of the PA.
Can someone guide me with the steps to follow to make this switch?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.
make a nandroid backup in recovery, then dirty flash it over the previous version and also flash the gapps. if you have issues, wipe data and reflash everything.

Hiya Piota
basically:
1. Backup ur data
2. reboot into bootloader
3. Download and Flash the latest 2 files Radio , Bootloader
4. boot into recovery factory reset and format system
5. flash the rom and gapps.
new radio or bootloader is not needed if you dont want it.

you can flash them in recovery, yes.
yes, wiping data/factory reset will get rid of all your apps and data.

I have done a bkp, then I've flashed radio and bootloader, than I've done wipe and format but now how can I flash something if I can't put the image in the phone (because there isn't an OS)?

why did you wipe the os? youll need to adb push a rom to your device now or flash the factory img and reroot. OR, restore your backup. thats why i wrote to dirty flash the rom first, you most likely would have been fine and had no data loss. second choice would be to wipe fdata and flash, where you would lose data. the last option is to wipe the os off your phone, only if you have serious issues.
edit. if you wiped all from your phone that means you cleared your backup as well.

How can I restore the bkp if I can't put the bkp in the phone?
I have to push with ADB how can I do that?
search google "how to adb push a rom", or if youre using twrp you can search also search adb sideload. lots of links will come up.
Problem solved! Thank you all! I've just done an "adb push".

Greetings all,
I have the i9500 S4,
I was running Hassan Rom and everything was fine, yesterday i've tried to boot the OzcanRom, and kept getting the (process.media. and process.phone not working)
The phone was not working, and after multiple tries of rebooting the said rom, i decided ill go unroot it and install the stock official rom (as i need my mobile for work etc...)
What i did is wipe the dalvikcashe and the system files (which i think was wrong) and tried to flash the stock rom via Odin the old simple way.
Everything went fine, when my mobile turned on again, i kept getting the same messages:
(the proccess android.process.media... & the proccess android.process.acore... & the proccess android.process.phone... Unfortunately email has stopped...& the new message Unified Deamon (EUR) has stopped.
The mobile is useless, can't access anything, can't connect to USB media so i can backup the files, can't connect to WIFI as it restarts...
Please help me guys as soon as possible i really need my mobile for my work...
(Preferably without a full wipe, or if necessary offer a backup way for my gallery)
Should i try installing a different stock rom? as i chose one from SamMobile that was the closest to my region...
Perform a factory reset. You can do that from the recovery or from within android. Make sure to backup the files on your internal storage.

Thank you for the reply.
I can do that, but i can't backup the files as nothing on the phone is working, pressing the gallery button for example, leads to the (process.media not working) message.
Any other solutions? i don't understand, isn't flashing a stock rom supposed to solve all these issues? should i try flashing another version of the Roms (different region perhaps)?
It does solve it, but you need to factory reset.
What I would do:
- Flash a custom recovery.
- Do the wipe option prepare for new rom.
- Flash stock/custom rom.
That way your internal storage won't be wiped.

Great, Got me relieved when you said internal storage won't be wiped.
Thank you for the reply, i don't want to be a pain in the ***, but could you please explain a few things,
What i'm gonna do is, flash a custom recovery (please recommend one that has the wipe for new rom)
Then, Do the wipe option, which wipe option, the recovery i had had only 1 wipe option, how do i know its not the one that's gonna wipe my data)
Finally, ill flash the rom. (Do i need to root my device again then? to flash a custom rom, if yes, im just gonna go with stock rom and let my mobile work for a few days where i need it then root and install a custom rom again)
I really appreciate your help, and your prompt answers.

- You can use Philz recovery
- You know the wipe option when you see it. The one that say prepare for new rom. No custom rom will wipe your internal storage. That option is somewhere hidden.
- You don't need to root, just flash.
ps you will lose all your apps. It will not wipe your internal storage.

Great, ill try that right now, thanks a bunch:good:
I am on stock 5.1.1 (Offical) and want to hard reset everything on phone, to solve horrible lag problems.
I want to boot into recovery and wipe the- data,cache/dalvik cache & partition.
Once I delete the above, and restart the phone it will boot into clean default OS OR then I have to download & install the OS again that I presume I have to download from sammobile ? If yes, once I restrat the phone after deleting everything from recovery how to install OS... please help with complete details.
See instructions for flashing on Sammobile or in the Stickied genera section of faqs and guides .
Stock roms are flashed via odin .
Wiping from recovery should put the phone back to a factory fresh rom.

Okay, so once done the cleanup via recovery as stated above, phone will re-start into exsiting OS and no further action/download is required by me... have I understood it right ?

Yes, factory reset from official recovery will wipe everything clean (minus the system partition). No further action required, just reboot the phone after you've reset it.

Yes system partiton, thats what I was thinking...
Now, say I want to even wipe partition and install the official OS all over again... how can I do that? - From what I understand, I have to download OS from sammobile, install Odin and then flash from there.... Can u guys provide more steps as I am not very confident.
you can use this as a reference..

Hi,
I tried installing a lineageos 15.1 ROM, but didn't work for me. I loaded the 7.1 ROM on the system, I wiped for a clean install, but could not find the storage path in the root. So I loaded it onto a usb drive and connected to my phone, tried installing, but I'm getting an error saying "Can't install this package on top of incompatible data." I have installed many ROMs from a usb before, don't know why I'm getting this. If anybody can help me, thank you.
Performed a full wipe of system, data, and cache before flashing?

Yes, but I didn't wipe internal storage. For some reason I cannot find the storage path in the root.
You could use twrp to wipe as well.
Are you flashing over a stock ROM?

No, as I said, lineageos 15.1. I did use twrp to wipe specifically System, Dalvik, Cache, and Data.
Only other possible solution I can think of would be to flash the latest stock ROM and start over.

Hi, do you know where I can download that?
Try sammobile.com, updato.com, or Samsung-firmware.org for the stock ROM.

Hi, the stock ROM is loaded! Thanks! But...I'm getting a problem where the T-mobile splash screen is just there, the OS isn't loading. The brightness is at the lowest but flashes to the highest every 14 or so seconds. How can I fix this porblem?
Did you flash the latest stock ROM?
Did you perform a factory reset from recovery?

I flashed the latest firmware from updato, I didn't factory reset. Do I do that from twrp or the stock, because I already have twrp on it.
Try twrp first. If that doesn't fix it, use stock recovery.

Hi Guys,
I have a bootloop and I think I need to reflash the official rom to get things working again. I have TWRP installed and dont want to lose that.
Where can I download and what are the instructions to flash the official rom so I dont lose TWRP? Thanks!

If you can still get into TWRP, there is no need to install a stock ROM. If you do, you will not only have to reinstall TWRP, but it will also encrypt your data partition. Just make sure that you perform a wipe to do a clean install of whichever ROM you choose. Also, if you haven't ever formatted the data partition, that will prevent from backing up or installing a custom ROM. If that is the case, make sure you copy any files you have saved because, unlike a wipe, formatting the data partition will delete EVERYTHING on that partition.
