Hey guys,
After years of rooting my phone several times a year I really want to format the entire phone clean before installing a new ROM
I want to reformat everything so traces of anything remains on my phone memory whatsoever to avoid any clashes with other ROM's I install.
Whats the easiest and best way you guys can suggest I go about doing this?
Thank you in advance
Look for Hawkerpaul's ROM Nuke script mate. And don't forget to thank him for it!
cheers mate...
will this brick my device? as how will my system operate without an OS?
just wondering
thanks

You've got it wrong mate. A Nuke script is meant to be used before flashing a new ROM.
And no, it won't brick your device. Make sure you read the whole thread about the scripts first.

You need to be running a ROM with apps2sd enabled.
Im not sure if using it on a stock ROM is possible or not.

Follow BTDAG's guide like i said earlier. The instructions are bang on so not much could go wrong. It is a little risky,... but its a risk most people on this site are willing to take.
*JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE PATIENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN UPDATING RADIO*
EDIT.......... LOTS of ROMS available in the development section.
As i asked, anyone could give me any advices? Just all causes of the bricks? I read,the forum as well as i can, there are many many many topics, but i dont want to make a stupid mistake ... thank u in advance guys and gerlz

Well, just follow the exact instructions the developers give when you flash something And always make a Nandroid back up first.
Furthermore: check for which phone models the roms etc. are (I9100 or anything else you have), to avoid flashing something bad.
If you're afraid for the eMMC brickbug: read the threads that are made for it for info about that.
Sent from the Matrix
The emmc brick bug only happens on stock kernel when wipe data is selected just flash any other kernel before doing anything else and then your safe. Don't flash a ROM for any other phone including the i9100G double check before flash the file name is usually .............i9100
Honestly ? Don't flash anything in the first place. Leave your phone stock & enjoy using it.
If the thought of breaking it frightens you, leave it alone.
Nandriod backup can't save you from hard brick. RTFM (or thread) is the only safe path if you can't stop the hacking itch, and don't be a hero to be the first one to try something new like leaked ROM. Good luck.

Well, then use the other advices that are given to you
But there's always a risk, so in fact it's a matter of minimizing them. If you want be totally risk free, then you indeed have to leave it stock.

I have rooted my phone with fake recovery, i want to install a speedmod kernel. I have stock recovery. Is it needed to install manually cwm first?? @Hardcore is writing that cwm is included, but im not sure that its written into this kernel or i need to download the cwm too, but where? There is no link in the topic So all i need to flash the kernel through the stock recovery and i'll got cwm and speedmod and done or download cwm from somewhere first and flash kernel through the cwm?

You can go for either one of them...i use cwm but its personal choice..now how yo flash cwm on your phone..just search the forum with your phone name..every detail is out here..you just have to search.after flashing cwm just take a backup of your current rom to be safe in case something goes wrong and flash a new one.search for custom roms for your phone in the forum. The procedure for flashing it will be written there only.

Ok sir ill go with twrp.. Pls answer my questions above one by one if its ok.. What should i do right after rooting? What should i back-up? How to back-up? If installed another rom, can i still access my apps? Will the apps remain on progress? or it will be back to start again (as if newly installed). Thanks a lot!
After install the recovery, make a full backup (the recovery have that option, but I dunno where is it in TWRP).
If you're going to install a ROM, surely you'll need to make a factory reset (another recovery option), so all your apps will be lost, however, you can make a backup of your apps (and/or its data) using some app like Titanium Backup, and restore the backup after install the ROM.

Adding to this..you can restore apps through cwm itself.after creating backup and flashing rom,select advance restore then select only data then select fix permissions..everything is here only bro..just search the forums

hm.. thanks for all the replies.. how partitioning? when should i do it? ive read some posts about partitioning so i think its important, is it or is it not? thank you i really appreciate every reply.
It depends of your phone and your usage habits. If your phone have few space to install apps, or you will install many apps then maybe you will need more space, this is the purpose of partitioning.
How to do it... well, you need to make the partition in your SD (you can do it from the recovery, or from your PC using any partitioning utility) and then, to use the partition, you'll need to install an app like Link2SD (you can install the scripts used by Link2SD if you prefer, but for the newbies is recommended use an app instead).
Ok sir, im learning a lot.. How about making NANDROID Backup?
How should i make one? Or which is the safest way to make backup?

I've just started to play with custom roms 2 days ago and nothing went badly wrong just yet With some precautions (the backups) and attention to the instructions you will do just fine Make sure you get the correct roms for your phone, because my first attempt to flash a rom was from a different phone model Nothing wrong happened, just an error message, but its a good example that you should play attention to the names and versions of the files!
good luck

[sarcasm]Thansk for the detailed answer. You really help me.[/sarcasm]
If you want to go back to stock, just flash the full Rom zip 2.2.0.
If you go the opposite, there is no reason you can't apply the other method to unlock bootloader & then...
But if you don't know what you are doing, don't !

Given that you are recognized contributor, I am surprised that you did not look into general section. We have threads for different things. Anyway I will try to answer you questions
1. You need to download full zip of 2.2.0 and flash that. You can restore to stock. Or simply backup your current oos using twrp, restore only system and boot, you will have stock.
2. Yes, here is the link
3. cm12.1 by master awesome is pretty stable.
4. Rooting/flashing does not void warranty for oneplus, however if you damage anything, I am not sure if it will be covered.
P.S. always have backup of stock and efs. Do not miss this step.

It's written in OnePlus policy that if your manipulation ends with a lost IMEI device, it's not covered for example !
