Hi guys, i was wondering what are the differences between doing a factory reset, hard reset or doing a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache, system and internal storage) with twrp.
I want to restore my phone like it was when i bought and opened in the box. Then i will flash a custom rom (i have twrp installed). There are different terminology used to perform similar/same actions regarding this.
Considering that after the restore i will install another rom different than the original one, should i do just a full wipe with twrp, or a factory reset/hard reset will erase better the files in my phone? Are these same actions?
Should you tell me what action is the best in my case?
- Factory reset means it turns the device like when you actually bought it
- Hard reset means using power key combinations to reset device , Factory reset & hard reset is the same it can also be done using on screen commands
- TWRP full wipe means it wipes everything even the system , that means even Android skin is wiped which leaves your device with just Recovery & nothing installed
Conclusion - TWRP wipe for flashing every new ROM , if you're flashing just update of same ROM don't wipe anything directly flash zip file & Gapps

Thanks! Another question : we said that factory reset restores the original android system and this is basically the only difference against a full wipe. Ok, but is there a difference between wiping partitions with twrp and performing a factory reset? is wiping different from erasing with factory reset? does factory reset erase better the files than the twrp's wipes? or are these exactly same things?

In TWRP if you uncheck system & wipe the rest ie - data , cache , dalvik cache , internet storage that's equivalent to Factory reset , but if you have a custom ROM & want to get back to Miui there's a different procedure let me know if you wanna do that [emoji106]

Ok,that's fine I already reverted back to miui from Nitrogen os using zcx twrp, because battery life didn't convince me and I have more confidence with the stock miui camera. Now I only want to clean my phone because I installed much things which I currently not use. I will stay to miui 8.2.2 global stable which is different from the miui global developer which is the native version of my phone =)

Hello. I have a Note 5 that I just bought and tried to root. But I screwed it up and managed only to install TWRP, without root. Now the phone only goes into loop mode. But I have TWRP 3.1.1., apparently with all the TWRP buttons working (including adb sideload, terminal, file manager) The question is, how can I restore the phone to factory reset? I cant seem to get to the option that wipes the data and does a hard reset. I can delete the system but what good does that do me if I can;'t get a working system
I was on Android 7.0, Nougat.
Thanks in advance!

Okay first try factory reset in Twrp or wipe everything except system ( both are same ) If this fails ...
Search for custom ROMs for Note 5 or Simply flash Lineage OS if it's available for your device .
Device must be able to boot now & If this fails ....
Flash stock firmware , this requires PC & everything will be reset replaced with stock recovery & ROM

Follow this tutorial https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/sideload-flashable-zips-android-with-twrp-0176529/ I don't think there is lineage for your device try any other official ROM like Resurrection remix or AICP etc

I followed the thread here on xda..
Downloaded the miui 8 rom(global) recovery zip... Deleted the emmc_appsboot file from the zip....
Cooked cracked boot image..
And then did a clean install.... (wiped cache.. System.. Delvik cache.. Data.. Even internal) and glashed miui 8... Then flashed the cracked boot image.... AND ALL DONE
Just before starting.. Check if your phone is unlocked.... If not.. Go to fastboot mode and unlock it using miunlock....
Thats what i did... After failing many times.... So try it.

Step 1 :- If you have unlocked officially boot into recovery(TWRP) wipe dalvik, cache, data, system (not internal storage and SDcard).
Step 2 :- Then flash a miui recovery rom.
Step 3 :- After successful flash now press home button in TWRP and click Reboot option and then select Bootloader.
Step 4 :- While you boot into fastboot open mi unlock and unlock your bootloader and then reboot the phone.
That's it!!!

You can restore to MiUi 8, just uncheck the firmware option while restoring.

There is a easy way too u just have to flash lazyflasher after flashing official miui ROM lazyflasher will delete emmc file n will also delete "verify" from fstab.qcom file done!! It works great I have flashed miui roms several times lazy flasher also has a SuperSU zip if u want to root miui ROM n ur bootloader remains unlocked
Tips - after flashing both files lazy flasher n ROM then tap on reboot system it will ask to "disable replace stock recovery" that time u have to "swipe to allow modifications" if u select "do not disable" then ur TWRP recovery will be gone on next boot.
Just remember to flash lazyflasher zip every time ur reverting back from custom to stock rom

I think it's charging. Only that the battery indicator for charging is not shown. Your LED might be lighting up when you plug it. If that's it then you need to change the firmware.

You don't need to be in MIUI too.
Can do it in any ROM. Specifically for custom ROMs it is.
Heres how to flash:
Wipe systen,data, cache and dalvik.
Flash the firmware.
Flash ROM and anything else you like to flash then reboot.

Wait. Have you flashed a ROM before?? And wiping system,data,dalvik and cache won't wipe internal storage. So keep the firmware in internal storage and keep a ROM too.
Only then wipe this things and go ahead.
Do not wipe internal storage.

and one again. i can do flashing this firmware with xiomi recovery right (hold power button and vol up) ? and i just have to rename that firmware with update.zip ?
please guide me. thanks
No bungxsan don't do that. You are not supposed to flash it with miui recovery neither with mi flash tool.
You need to have twrp or any custom recovery.
And also you need to flash a ROM from Twrp after flashing this. If you don't know how that's done then please go checkout how to flash twrp and a cuatom ROM, only aftwr that flash this firmware.
Bdw if you are in stock ROM you might not have faced this problem.
I am saying again, if you don't know how to flash from a custom recovery then don't go ahead.

@bungxsan Do the following steps.
1.Download a custom ROM and gapps and copy them in your internal storage.
2.Go to twrp, wipe data,dalvik,cache and system.
3.Install the firmware.
4.Install rom and gapps.
5.Reboot

What he suggested will delete the lockscreen password/passcode etc so you can boot the phone without any prompts. You do this within TWRP.

oh in that case, should I have to factory reset everytime I flash a rom through my TWRP? I use ZCX TWRP, so Lazy flasher is not required after rom flashing right?
you just need it once . to decrypt your storage

In the information about the ZCX TWRP I found below:
ZCX TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...persu-t3462448
- Based on official TWRP 3.0.2-0
- Patches boot.img automatically (Removes dm-verity flag)
- Disables forced encryption
Should I have to tweak anything in TWRP settings to remove this dm-verify flag everytime?

I tried it. Earlier i did not have any issue even if i install custom rom on my Redmi note 3. But today i thought of trying Pure Nexus *Substratum* rom. And on the first boot it asked me to enter password. though i have never kept password for my mobile, i tried all the passwords that i remember, which didnt solve my issue. then saw ur reply and tried it, and still it didnt work for me. Any other way?:crying:

Are you coming from MIUI? If so then MIUI encrypts the data partition, hence the new ROM asking for a password.
Before you install the ROM, you must "format data" on wipe in TWRP, this is different from wipe data.
Note that this will delete all your data obviously.

Yes i am coming from MIUI. I had done that But no use. Tried what ever that has been discussed in the following thread as well, but that also did not work for me.

Posted a thread on MIUI forum as well. Waiting for some sort of help. Earlier i was able to install Custom Rom's without any issue, (though i am coming from MIUI), but now what ever may be the rom that i am trying to flash, the first boot is asking me for password. Unable to understand what is the issue.

Are you sure that you used "format data"?
Wipe data doesn't remove the encryption.

Perfect. Worked bro. Thanks a lot for the help. I was wiping cache,and internal storage. Now only came to know this. :highfive:
Hi, I am using Redmi Note 3 Pro(Snapdragon). I flashed custom rom by flashing CM14.1 Frimware Kenzo 12.04.2017, Lazy flash tool, RR-N-v5.8.3-20170709-kenzo-Weekly and Gapps. Everything is working file. I got an update to RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-kenzo-Weekly, downloaded it and tries to flash. Go to twrp recovery and go to wipe then advanced then wipe Dalvik/ART Cache and Cache. Then i install successfully latest ROM. After that, when i reboot my device, it stucks on mi logo and restating. I have changed the bootanimation. Hepl me to go for the latest update.. When I tried to Restore the older version of RR Rom, My device sensors wll not work and i cant hear while i am calling. Plz solve this too..

Is there anyway to update without loosing any data? Wipe system and other things will clean my all data and i need to start from the beginning. That was too bad. I hate this process. Tell me how did u flash? or Is there any other way to flash without loosing data?
Just wipe system , cache & dalvik cache you'll not lose any data

Also if you wanna mod system like changing bootanimation manually etc you may brick device if you update to latest build

Hello everyone,
Having a series of bug that I did not like, I tried to flash my mi9 with an older version of the EU rom.
Since, my phone reboots constantly on TWRP and if I go in the files of the SD card, it is big anything in it.
Basically my phone is bricked.
I need your help to get by because the only thing that starts is TWRP ..
Someone could he save me?
Based on ny previous experience with another Android devices, I think your Mi 9 is far from beying bricked. All you need is to flash a stock image through fastboot.

This steps can be applied for upgrading from P to Q too ?
You don't have to reboot after formatting data ?
But never reboot after wiping system, yeah

Uhh yeah! You need to reboot to recovery to see if TWRP is still on there. Formatting means EVERYTHING gets yeeted out the back door. When you format data, always, and I mean ALWAYS reboot to recovery, and then you can flash your vendor image following your rom.
well, i flashed the android 10 version from "mi dot com/global/androidqbeta" , then i wanted to go back to the pixel experience rom and it didn't boot, it boot loped to twrp, so, I wiped all the partitions, and tried to flash the global version that came with the phone and it gives me the error "vendor error flashing" and then on another try after flashing the vender through twrp "system error flashing", then I formated all the partitions and then tried with the miflash tool version 2018-5-28, and it says device mismatch, but I am sure I have the mi 9 cepheus, 64gb 6gb ram, do i try flashing it with the European version ? i remember it came with the global version ...
[edit]
well, i solved it by making sure i had the same name on the folder that i had on the decompressed folder .. i've never encountered such an error
hope this helps someone ahah
