If I flash the full stock JB through LGNPST, will my apps get wiped, or would it be like an OTA update?

All apps wiped, it restores you to complete stock.

I just did the JB LGNPST (on top of JB)... Everything remained same (apps) except for SD card got wiped, Root lost but all the apps I installed remained and frozen apps stayed frozen. I thought It will bring me back to Stock Factory state. Is it the same with you guys? Cos it been long I did PGNPST... Forgot how it was...

I never lost anything from internal or external, and all my apps remained.

I'm stock unrooted and locked boot loader with the latest OTA and just a few minutes ago I went on the market to update "Tip-off basketball" game and it said I have inssufficent memory available..I have 157 ram free and over 1.85gb in the app storage section so I don't know what's wrong. Did the new ota mess something up? My radio app updated perfectly. Anyone else encounter this problem? I updated it again and it went through but had to download the game 3 times total(19mb each time) before it updated. This can be a problem for those on limited data from Verizon.
I'm having the exact same problem, same setup, only it's happening on multiple apps and I even uninstalled several apps to try to get more space. I should have plenty now and it's not working. Also Apps2SD doesn't seem to work at all. No place to move them to even though I have a 32gb microsd card installed and room on the "internal" built in SD card. Please help!
Sorta had the same thing happen with an app I never figured it out but when I re flashed the rom it no longer occurred. Maybe try erase data for Google play as a less aggressive approach first

When I had that problem it was because the odex of the app corrupted. So I deleted it and Bam.

they dont ever tell you this but, its good to do a factory reset after an OTA. it insures that you phone is clean after an OTA.
You will loose all your data. my suggestion to you is just do the htc dev unlock then use titanum backup for your apps and data. relock the phone and do a factory reset.
unlock with htc dev and restore with TI. then if you want you can go back to lock.
EDIT:
forgot dev unlock deletes data. :/

Doesn't unlocking wipe the phone? I think I remember it wiping mine

You can also go into settings then apps and sort by size. Sometimes a culprit jumps out at you there.
Clearing cache and/or data for that app sometimes helps.

Insufficient storage op... Did u get it worked out?
What happens with the apps that are frozen if I were to unroot? Do they automatically unfreeze? Or remain frozen with no way of getting them back?
most of those apps you freeze are still there , system apps belong in /System/app they don't get deleted they just remain there,frozen or (disabled) so you can very well get back to them if needed, but if you delete them they are gone.

They stay frozen, you have to unfreeze them before unrooting.. Even a wipe format reset to factory will leave the frozen apps, frozen.
I believe the system will rewite the correct permissions oce unrooted and rebooted on its own...

Nope, I unrooted, rebooted, wiped and the frozen apps were still missing. Had to reroot, unfreeze apps, unroot, and reboot. YMMV
I always do a nandroid bkup with my "clean" ROM...then I use my "other" one for freezing/deleting...can always go back to stock!

Ok here it is, treat me gently as I'm no expert. I have currently running ICS 4.03 LPD + CF-Root. I first flashed 2.3.6, then jumped to Lp8 and now LPd and never have wiped my phone. I have a lot of unused apps and was thinking in doing it.
Question: Will I loose Root? or apps like CWM and such? What about the info in my external SD card? Anything else i must take into consideration?
thks in advance

You will not lose root or cwm manager as that is in the system apps. You will lose all the apps you have downloaded though. But if you have Titanium Backup, My Backup pro or Rom Toolbox, you can backup all your apps and reinstall them once you have rebooted.
[EDIT] Also wipe delvik cache when you do a data/factory reset.

Cwm format data system internal storage dalvik.
Flash using Odin.
Went ahead and restored a backup from cwm recover. Should i try again and wipe with the code you gave?
If your backup has issues you can try.
I'd love to be posting this in the actual dev thread, but I can't.
Currently, I can't use the Gallery app because despite having items in both internal and external DCIM folder, screenshots, and where ever else it looks, I consistently get a "no items" error when launching the app, either from the home screen or from Camera.
I came from v3.1.2, full wipe, flash v4.1.3. I had a couple issues right off the bat (including this one), so I reflashed. After the reflash, this is the only problem I have left. When using the Camera, photos still save as they should, but Gallery is full-on retarded and doesn't find anything.
Besides the reflash, I've cleared both Media Storage and Gallery, with no consequence after a reboot. Anyone have any other ideas?

Go to stock and reflash?
I haven't seen this myself... but i would wipe again and flash. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to full stock and do a factory reset unfortunately.
Another thought... do you have a .nomedia folder at that folder?
Happened to me once after a base change. A restart fixed it.

Nope, no .nomedia in any of the folders Gallery should be pulling from. Everything worked OK with v3.1.2, so I'm not sure what broke.
I noticed one other guy in the SHOstock2 thread had this problem, but he never came back with a fix.
I'll get a nandroid and TB and trying going back to stock. Will it make a difference going to stock vs. stock + root? Do I need to revert the bootloader as well?

shouldn't matter but I always go not rooted and factory reset then Odin stock kernel with root and use mobile Odin from there so I never have to use triangle away and never up my count.

Welp, wipe > ucle5_stock_rooted > wipe > SHOstock2 4.1.3 and everything seems to be working so far. Gallery works, screen stays off. Just a bummer it took so much messing around.
Thanks for the help!
Hey, this is the first time I'm posting a problem here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (I8552). I rooted my phone yesterday via cwm recovery, and then made a backup using ROM Manager. It rebooted my phone directly into a backup page where it started backing it up, but my internal memory wasn't big enough so it failed and since then I haven't been able to boot my phone up... When I try to turn it on it goes straight into CWM Recovery page, and when I click "reboot system now" it turns off the screen and then reboots it again into CWM Recovery...
Then, since I couldn't access the apps (as the phone won't start), I made another backup through CWM Recovery, but this time in my external SD Card which had about 6 gb free space. So it made and completed the backup without any problems. But when I restore it from my ext SD Card it restores the system and stuff but then when it comes to data it shows the message
Error while restoring /data!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Every time.
And so I tried
wipe data/factory reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it does it, and completes the process, but still it won't boot up, neither by
reboot system now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nor by removing battery and trying to restart.
Mind you, I didn't flash any new ROMs, it was still running my stock ROM when this happened...
So to sum up the things I've tried
1. Reboot system now
2. Backup in extSD Card (which worked) and restore from the same (which didn't work)
3. Wipe data/factory reset
Also one more thing, before any of this mess was made, right after I rooted my phone, I made a backup of all apps through the app called
Titanium Backup root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
Is there any way I can get out of this mess? And maybe make my phone accessible again.
And if somehow by sheer stroke of luck and your expertise, if I do get out of this mess, is there any way to root my phone again and recover the apps or appdata from the already made CWM backup? or the Titanium Backup I made (or is it gonna be gone because of the factory reset?).
Thank you in advance for any help or try you might

Yeah, but then will I be able to restore from the same backup (cwm) that's causing problems now, or will it not work even then?
And what about the backup I made with the Titanium Backup app, will I be able to retrieve app data from there?
Because the very reason I was backing it all up was to protect the app data, and it's pretty important. So is it possible to save it after stock flashing?
The stock recovery flasher will help u get out of that loop. Check the link posted above.

Thank you so much... the link worked like a charm. I flashed it through extSD card and it loaded and on clicking reboot it booted the phone right up. I had to go through the factory reset setting as I clicked it before. But almost no important data was lost. All photos videos and documents remained. And for better or for worse the whole thing actually made my phone a lot faster...
Thank you so much.
