Through Recovery Vol Up + PWR + Home release at bootscreen.
1. wts the difference between wipe and factory reset?
Its a wipe and reset operation resets to defaults .
2. i havent got a backup of my stock rom before, will i still be able to reset the phone just like i got it like originally?

After wiping my rom will still be litening rom? then whats the point of wiping??

You wipe to remove user crap restore settings to default in case of problems .
Flashing a rom replaces the embedded firmware and that rom becomes the embedded firmware .

which means im just cleaning the data and all that but the Rom is still the one i flashed before-litening rom?
Yes of course it is you replace the original factory firmware when flashing a rom . No way to recover something you have wiped and installed another firmware in its place .

i just bricked my phone with script manager,done something wrong.What can i do to unbrick?1 question,can i wipe data/factory reset and phone will be fixed?
What did you mean bricked? Can you turn you phone one, whats happened after this, I think you have only a bootloop. If you can access recovery menu try wipe, if it doesn't help reflash you rom using ODIN.

Your phone is not bricked. You have a minor inconvenience. Wipe everything and flash new firmware.

Choose whatever rom you want and install as normal through recovery. Wipe data/cache/factory reset and install .zip file. Done.

Just to make sure, flash it with a full package. (Zip containing 4 files instead of one big one). It'll turn everything to stock including system format just in case you messed that up. Flash it via ODIN and make sure to follow instructions so you won't have another inconvenience.

Hey guys..
Firstly i would like to let all of you know..i havent modded or installed any rom/kernel for like 3-4 months..
But today..i installed some application..and i dunno after sometime..my phone restarted and got stuck on boot logo..i tried restarting it few times but the same thing..So i went into the recovery mode and wiped cache and dalvik cache and then restarted..now the phone did go past the boot logo but then a screen came saying optimizing applications and the now the phone is stuck on "android is upgrading..start applications" screen..Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
I dont wanna restore a backup as my backup is pretty old..and i didnt bother backing up as i wasnt fiddling with my phone in anyway..
So i just wanna know what can i do to restore my phone so it works again..? I dont wanna full format and resintall some rom and kernel,,
I am currently on neatrom siyah 3.3 kernel..
So can i just directly try installing the rom again from the recovery mode?
suggestions would be appreciated
thanks
P.S. Also the phone vibrates for a very tiny moment while it is at "android is upgrading" screen and then nothing happens..
Help me out please i am getting a bit worried lol..

Did u also try to reflash Rom once?
This wouldn't infact ur Rom but replace the System files...
Maybe this helps
Much success

Yh m8 i did try flashing both rom and kernel separately but nothing worked..
well i got back my phone working from a previous nadroid backup.. but yh lost a good amount of data and few contacts and sms
Now can anyone please tell me what does these options exactly do with reference to what i wanna do:
1. I created a nandroid backup just before going back to my previous 3 month old backup. Can i get back all my apps by choosing: advanced restore-> restore data from CWM recovery? If yes, how will they affect the currently installed apps on my phone and if there is a duplicate or anything?
2. Can i get back my contacts/sms?
3. What does the restore system option from advanced restore exactly mean? It only restores my rom or also sytem files and system data?
thnx again..

Ur title is misleading first of all. The way u described it is tat u are stuck in cm rom. But u are stuck on stock. And try the cyanogenmod installer.

I believe the best option for that kind of jumping from one rom to another is to use newset philz touch recovery and follow the procedure each time you want to flash smth new:
1. Copy your new rom to internal sd card
2. enter the recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset => clean to install a new rom.
4. install new rom from zip
It's worked for me so far.

You saved my life thank you man :victory::good:
I rooted for the first time over the weekend. Thought I had a problem with international unlock sim (and wasn't too happy about GPS and mobile data widget) - so it was a good excuse to root... I have a Sprint Note 3 with lollipop (5.0 that I got OTA)
Anyway did the root via CWM via these steps: http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ I was able to install titanium backup and backuped app and my personal stock sprint.
There after I flashed 1. gummy rom 2. restored my personal sprint rom backup 3. CM12 and 4. latest Kitkat Killer version.
On all these flashes I got hung on the bootup logo. I reflashed after waiting 10 minutes and the same thing happens (some say it would work on the second flash...but alas!)
From what I gather it's because I am going from 5.0 to 4.4 roms ? Is that true ? If so how can I downgrade to 4.4.4 ROMs ? OR is it easier I find a 5.0 rom I like and flash that. Interestingly though my personal backup restore didn't work either to 5.0
[Currently I don't have a phone and desperate to solve this.]
PS: I didn't wipe data or factory reset between the various flashes - could that be a problem or is THE problem ?
(It all started because I thought I lost international sim unlock that i got via SUU app...it seems I hadn't)
Got to factory reset!
If the same version of rom wiping cache might work.
I factory reset/wipe date via CWM and there after recovered my original data again via CWM.
And now its back to original Sprint bootup - BUT gets stuck at the Sprint logo ?
I try a hard reset via volume up, home button and power - and it just does a bootup - so cannot do a new factory reset ?
have I lost my phone ? should I try ODIN ? what are my options ? (and how did I screw up? )

Boot into recovery wipe every thing.
Flash your rom again.
&/or
Oden stock rom, try again.
Didn't follow instructions ; -)
1. when you say 'flash your rom' you mean my backup of sprint ? so do a restore of the original sprint that I backed up after root ?
2. where can I get a stable stock rom ? I assume I have to use stock 5.0 ? as it's not easy to downgrade to 4.4.4 as I got 5.0 OTA - right ?
PS: what instructions - i followed everything to a tee...
thank you @rbeavers

thanks.....but still a little confused because I was able to flash to MOAR 4.4 ROM but when I tried 4-5 other ROMs people said I couldn't flash down to 4.4 from 5.0 stock sprint. But I did (without doing anything different!)
