Just tried a downgrade from the Android O Developer Preview (2), to 7.1.2 official Google images. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, so I immediately rooted, and flashed Resurrection Remix 7.1.2.
What I did not count on was auto-rotation not working, and receiving no read on my proximity sensors at all. Thinking this was a ROM issue, I posted to the official ROM thread. Luckily, two users immediately responded telling me this was a known issue after downgrading from O, so I want to post it here in case anyone searches for it, hopefully the solution is easier to find.
Solution: Flash Official Google stock image of 7.1.2, check to see if rotation is working (it probably won't if yours wasn't previously). So now perform a Factory Reset (Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Reset), some people have apparently needed to reset twice for the effect, but then your rotation/proximity should be fixed! Now you can return to doing whatever you wish with your 6P! Hopefully this will help anyone in need
Solution 2: After downgrading to the 7.x stock image, lock your bootloader. (Be sure to backup your internal!) Once you've locked it, boot up the device and unlock the bootloader again.
Solution 2.1: After you've locked the bootloader using Solution 2, boot up the device and perform a factory reset. Once that is done, boot up the device again before unlocking the bootloader again. Then continue on your Android journey!
Huge thanks to everyone sharing solutions and information on this thread!
I Had same issue and I was forced to go back to DP2, but now I'll try. Thanks for sharing solution

If you use WugFresh's root tool, flashing the stock images + unroot will wipe sdcard, however there is a "No wipe mode", but I've never tried it so I couldn't say what it involves/how it works.
The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard, though you probably know that already, just including it in case you don't
Any other questions I'd be happy to answer the best I can

Not sure what a Fabric Reset would do, but factory data reset just wipes Data, Dalvik and Cache, not the sdcard.
I guess you're f**** with me though since I can't imagine someone with you're knowledge and "thanks" doesn't know what a factory data reset is lol.
Anyway, Fabric Reset needs to be an option
I found another solution on the 5X forums. After downgrading to N you need to lock and then unlock your bootloader again (wipes internal storage obviously). Worked for me. Clean install by itself didn't do anything to help.

For real man? First thing I did for you was answer that question, "The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard" look back in the thread.
I certainly don't enjoy being pathetic, and wouldn't say I was. You typed "Fabric Reset" so I thought you were messing around since I answered you earlier.. I appologize for the confusion man, the factory reset (going through Settings-Backup & Reset-Factory Data Reset) wipes the Data, Dalvik, and Cache, your internal will be completely preserved during a factory reset. However, your apps and app data will be wiped sorry again if I came off ignorant I just misunderstood you :good:

Definitely weird, did you try the factory reset before that with no success? I was thinking that locking/unlocking the bootloader probably does something similar to a factory reset since it wipes the device.

I did factory reset more than once, but it didn't work
Worked for me. Thx.
Flashed latest factory image.
Relocked the BL
Booted up and performed a factory reset
Booted up again than back to the BL
Unlocked the BL
Added files
Flashed TWRP than flashed Rom of choice.
All good. Thx again!

I did answer the damn question, it was the first thing i did, but you decided to ignore it for some reason, and continue to ask the same question I had just answered, but with a typo, and a half sentence.
So my thanks observation was supposed to be a complement, I was trying to not insult your intelligence by either, answering a question I already answered, or answer a question you already knew. I was being sensitive.
Obviously us writing to each other completely lacks any form of human expression and tone, but try to actually read and understand before discrediting and insulting someone, especially while they're trying to help you.

Just ran into a problem with enterring stock recovery and it asking for a password. I was trying to do a factory reset, and was not able to boot the phone.
Was trying to go back to stock and reroot to try and solve a problem, and ran into this error. Solution was to get into download mode again, rerun the "return to stock" software, and then reroot and install a custom kernel, and then do a factory reset.
I'm not exactly sure what caused the issue, and I think if I ever decide to do this again, I will factory reset first, then flash the "return to stock" software.
It was very odd, and I'm glad I was able to get around it and get my phone working again.
Um, ok... so whats the point of this?
I think, but I'm not sure, the point may be that I need to add an extra item to my return-to-stock documentation - if you're running device encryption, you need to wipe BEFORE returning to stock.
I think it's silly that stock recovery won't let you wipe without a password though, since usually wiping is the desired end result of a security error.

I had a pattern code set. There would be no way to enter that into a keyboard, so I'm not sure what password the software would want me to enter. A quick search on here showed someone kept re-entering the wrong password and it would eventually wipe the phone anyway.
I guess any type of password should be turned off before attempting to return to stock.

I didnt know anything needed to be discussed after reading your OP. You had an issue and you got around your issue. If it is something that needs to be documented in the return-to-stock package, it could have been brought up in that thread.
Hi Gurus,
As I am not allowed to post in the original thread, thus I am asking my question here.
this is the actual thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742493&page=8
I am using stock Samsung ICS firmware (DXLP9) beforehand, rooted using CF root. Yesterday I tried this rom and encountered some issues.
1) After flashing this ROM, i didn't do a wipe (i guess there is no need to as per the title)
2) I notice only applications installed on phone memory will appears on the desktop, I mean on the "Downloaded App" tab itself. Apps installed on SD card will not be shown. Why is this so? Did I miss out something?
3) the Music app will FC when selecting the "End" options to close this program
I have reverted back to my original settings.
Could someone help me? thanks
Even a noob who flashed multiple times would know, it is crying for a wipe.
Haha yes do a factory reset and try again.

i am really a noob cos I flashed only once. you know, it can be very confusing and 'life threatening' for noob like me as some ROM requires flashing of kernel while some don't need, I have been reading till i give up. then there is this bootloader thing. Frankly speaking i also don't know what's the version of bootloader my set is using.
So for all ROMs I installed, I will do a wipe (factory reset, wipe davik cache etc). Is that correct?
thanks
YES
Can anyone help? I'm confused what happened. I did everything i followed. Maybe i missed out something. Can someone kindly tell me?

And what exactly You did ?
Did You wiped data/cache/dalvik/batt stat ?
Wiped cache after flashing ?
Have You tried re-flashing ? Flashing different ROM or kernel ?
Rooted > flashed cwm 5.5 via odin > flash cm 9.1 > bootlooped
Thus i went to wipe cache/dalvik already. Must i wipe all user data? Will i lose everything in my phone? If yes i already backed up on my titanium backup before. Also did a nandroid backup before too. No i didn't try reflashing. I came from stock rom was running on android 4.0.3

You need to do a wipe data/factory reset in cwm. Its advised over and over and over and over and over again in just about every single rom topic. I honestly do not understand why so many n00bs fail to understand.

They are like children, you just have to be patient and keep telling them over and over again do a full wipe
Or just ignore them, and let them stick the hand into the flame. They will learn this way or the other

Well because wiping every user data scares me? I'm afraid it actually removes my backup too.
Anyway, i followed what you guys suggested and yes i'm done. Yup i do admit my noobiness.

I can't seem to add my Google account back to my phone. I was having play Store issues, and one of the suggestions I read online was to remove my Google account and add it back again. I did that, but adding it back, I wasn't able to do so. The screen just went back to the settings page under accounts. I I took a logcat and I have posted it here. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Ok, I restored my previous backup and it solved that issue. However, I still cannot connect to the Play Store. The above logcat has the same details. Any help please?
It has been 3 days guys. Is no one able to decipher my logcat to help me out??
Apparently not.
I'm no logcat expert by any means, but looking over it it's possible your dalvik is full; wipe it and see.
In fact, what I would do is first delete your Google account, wipe dalvik, then re enter your information. There's no reason you should be having trouble regarding the play store - unless you're using a modded version that's outdated. If you keep getting errors just dirty flash your rom.
EDITED to correct misinformation

Yes, that's right - I misspoke; I meant to say "dirty flash" the rom. Hopefully azeem noticed that too!
Thank you.
Thanks for the help guys. However, I found another ROM that I really like and decided to use it as my daily driver, however, I did solve that problem thanks to SteveMurphy. Thanks a lot man. I have another problem, but I will make a new thread about it. It is about my data.
Hi Everyone
One of the senior contributors on here has been helping me via pm but I don’t want to keep bothering him and it would probably help to open up this issue anyway.
In essence, I’ve been unable to flash a variety of ROMS suggested by my friend on my 5380i (CM7, Extremesis etc).
Although the ROMs themselves are fine (checked MD5 etc), they have been mainly failing with abort message status 7. I finally got the Extremesis to install properly but then the phone got stuck at the first Samsung Galaxy screen.
I’ve had no probs restoring to stock with Odin but then keep repeating the problem when I try to flash.
Throughout the recovery process I’ve noticed various error messages when trying to wipe data, format system etc. One is when attempting wipe data from CWM. I get E format _volume rfs format failed on /dev / Stl.11 and similar with wipe cache but Stl.10 instead.
I’ve done some research and understand that this could be due to a corrupted internal card. Can anyone confirm this with a possible solution for my model?
II also get another one when wiping the dalvik cache in CWM. It says "Unknown volume for path sd-ext" I guess that must be linked to external sd. I've reformatted this many times so don't know what else that could relate to.
Either way it seems that I am “corrupted” internally as well as externally.
I’d really be delighted to hear from anyone who ever got any ROM to work on this damn model.
Many thanks Simon
Flash multiformater and there select rfs and then clear data and cache and then mount system and flash extremiss rom or any stock based custom roms..if u want to flash cm roms then u have to also flash cm7 kernel and and make system to ext4 thru multiformater and then flash any cm7 rom

Tried Extremesis again but phone still freezes on Samsung Galaxy opening screen!!
This is what I did:
1. Used multiformatter to set RFS and clear data and cache.
2. Used CWM to wipe data/factory reset.
3. Used CWM to wipe cache.
4. Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Mount system.
6. Format data, system and cache.
7. Installed Extremesis from zip.
I haven't tried CM7 as that involves the extra steps of cm kernel and mutiformatter to set to ext 4.
During this process I did note two error messages. First when wiping dalvik cache-unknown volume for path sd-ext and then when booting into CWM-Can't mount cache /recovery /latest log
Really confused and frustrated now.

How about, use odin and flash stock rom. Use all 5 files (pit file, pda, modem, csc boot)
After restars phone into recovery. Format system, data and cache. Mount everything, flash rom(redownload it just incase).
Stop complaining, theyre are over 100 android forums which you can ask for help, and this phone is just under 4 years old, every single problem has been encountered from atleast one of us, so it is somewhere in this forum, so look harder. Nobody gives a sh*t about this phone anymore and rightfully so.

I'm sure nobody gives a sh***t, aside from my good lady wife, who kindly bought it for me. I know it's ancient history, but doyouknowot? it's still being sold in stores so has a certain currency, so to speak.
I know there are millions of android forums and I've spent the best part of two weeks combing thru them!!!!
I've also been liaising with my Indian friend who hasn't been able to assist, despite being more affable and articulate than you (not difficult!).
I don't really have a problem restoring with Odin. The errors and freezes occur when trying to install Extremesis and CM7, 9, 10,11...............
Having said that, there may be an issue as I'm only using PDA the version of Odin I've been using, and although that gets me back to stock it may contribute to the subsequent errors when trying to install the ROM. I'll try the multiple files when restoring to stock but not confident.
I think you need to go back to your comics son.
