Flash stock Rom without wiping - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I followed the ADB instructions to uninstall the OnePlus data collection/analysis app/service. All was fine until i noticed that Gmail had stopped auto syncing my mail accounts.
Is it possible to fully re-flash the stock rom without wiping my data or phone setup as it is now?
I have tried downloading the full rom from the OnePlus site and flashing it via stock recovery, but this hasn't restored the analytics service.
I would like to restore the rom without wiping if i can, but if not i'll just have to do a full wipe and stock flash.
Thanks in advance.

Try doing it with TWRP.

Clean install of new rom?

I have flashed the new recovery rom onto my tattoo and installed the modaco rom but what do I do if I want to reset the phone to defaults so its like ive flashed my phone and its like new from the factory?
I did a nandroid backup of my orignal firmware which was rooted. When I installed the modaco rom and did an update it worked but I had all my old apps and settings etc.
Do i select the wipe data/factory restore setting in the recovery rom before selecting the rom to update?
what happens to the apps i've bought from the market as well? do they appear as apps to download again when i login to my android market account?
When you restore the ROM you've backed up using recovery, then EVEYRTHING will be restored. Which includes ALL apps, contacts, SMS's, emails and app settings which were there at the time of taking a backup.
I actually wanted to wipe everything rather than restore it but done it now with the recovery boot . the new Rom is much cleaner than the orange/htc version

ROM Backup

Hi,
Is there a way to do a complete backup of the current ROM? I know I can always reflash the stock firmware but I'd like to keep all the installed apps/customizations.
Thanks!

If you flashed CWM recovery, doing a nandroid backup (boot into recovery, backup and restore->backup) will back up your entire system, including ROM, your installed apps, accounts, settings, the whole kit and caboodle. If you're just worried about your own apps, you can use an app like Titanium Backup to back up all your apps and their data and restore them after a wipe.
Just to be clear, flashing stock ROM through odin won't actually wipe any of your apps or data, but it's usually a good idea to do so manually when changing firmware versions, as you may run into problems, usually apps force closing, if you don't.

Thanks for the info, and sorry for the late reply...
I would be interested in doing a full ROM backup. Are there any known issues in flashing CWM? so far I have only rooted the stock rom.
Thanks!

[Q] Every App Stop Working After NANDroid

On my G900P, I made a CWM NANDroid backup of 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM. Then I did a full wipe and installed Cyanogenmod 5.0 ROM. Then to revert back I wiped everything (including dalvik cache) and tried to recover the NANDroid backup, which seems to complete without errors, but every user application will force close when launched. Also, SMS or Calls cannot connect.
So is the NANDroid backup corrupt? Did it not flash properly when I recovered it? (tried multiple times)
My suggestion would be to flash the stock rom which is the same version as your NANDroid, 4.4.4, first. Then restore your NANDroid backup.
You shouldn't have to, but it might work.
That doesn't seem to work. The apps still force close / stop working over and over. Here's a lengthy logcat. Anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Problems restoring a backup of the stock rom

I recently made a backup of my stock rom using TWRP, I then flashed cyanogenmod 12.1 and due some random reboots I wanted to restore my stock rom.. I went into TWRP, did a wipe on everything but the external sd card then restored the backup of the samsung rom boot, data, system. When it booted it said it was upgrading all the android apps then starting apps then all the apps it tried to start crashed and was left with a blank screen. Is there something you have to do, to be able to restore a stock rom after flashing cyanogen?
No, that should have worked, but I have seen that crash black screen after clearing caches in TWRP, I pulled the battery, booted again and it was fine

Wierd, yeah I tried a couple of reboots and it always crashes once it starts apps after a restore.
Try flashing a stock ROM with ODIN to get the phone back to 100% stock
Then root and flash TWRP again and see if you can restore the backup then, if not, try restoring the backup without restoring DATA which is where the apps are
If that works, you could use Titanium Backup to restore the DATA partition iirc, see if you can get around it that way

Impossibly persistent problem even after reset

I have a Sprint Note 3 and I am having the dreaded "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" problem.
I tried every single fix I found online. Even the stupid ones I knew wouldn't work. I finally caved and did a full wipe. Low and behold, on the very first setup screen the error message immediately popped up.
I am stock (whatever the latest version is) and rooted.
If factory reset doesn't work I don't know what else would work. That's usually the last recourse. Any suggestions? HELP!
Do I maybe need to re-flash the stock rom? If so, can someone please provide a link?
Suggest you ask in the SPRINT forum .

Yes, you need to re-flash stock ROM (search in updato). I'd also suggest you do a full DATA wipe with TWRP before and THEN flash stock ROM. Make sure you backup everything before anything.

Holy crap. I downloaded a stock ROM from Updato and my phone isn't bricked but I'm worse off now.
Somehow, nothing at all changed on my phone after I flashed the ROM. All my apps, data, screens, everything is still there. However, I lost root and I lost my custom recovery and I still have the problem I had before.
Two questions:
1) I still have a Nandroid backup of my rooted phone from before I flashed the stock ROM. Can I restore this Nandroid backup with the stock recovery?
2) If not I will install TWRP again. At that point can I just restore the rooted Nandroid and gain root again or do I have to root first and then restore the Nandroid?
What a mess. Why did everything stay the same after flashing the stock ROM? Is updato a legit website?

It's a legit website but you need to wipe everything before flashing stock ROM. The order would have been: Boot into TWRP -> Wipe/Factory reset -> Format Data -> Reboot to download mode -> Flash stock
Yes, you will have to re-install TWRP again and restore your nandroid backup.
