I have a LS998 convert to US998. Havoc 3.2 has almost everything I need, but data is very slow. If I wanted to switch between Havoc and Stock, can I just restore backups in TWRP? If so, what do I backup(system, data, ...)?
Use migrate for your apps and data, and wipe everything in twrp, flash stock or other custom rom, then restore your backup with migrate

I know to use twrp, but what do I backup? (system, data, modem..)
Anybody tried dualbootpatcher? I tried it when I still had a working stock Oreo us998, but all patched AOSP ROMs led to rec, fastboot or bootloop. I wonder if anyone has successfully used it. Maybe you can test it, as you have twrp, you can always recover.

There is no quick way to switch between custom roms and stock roms cuz each rom needs a clear wipe to completely make the rom function, expect stock rom.
Just back up your data only and flash any rom you like. That's all lol. There is no dirty flash allow in custom roms and stock rom

Just curious about whether I am wiping and flashing correctly.
I currently have TWRP 2.2.2.0 installed.
I am presently on the Viper sense based rom for the HOX+. I assume I must be wiping and flashing correctly as the rom works!!
Wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, factory reset and system? Then flash rom?
Doing this, does it completely remove the previous rom, audio drivers etc so that I have a clean slate so to speak for flashing the new rom?
That's what I'm after, wiping the previous rom completely, drivers, everything so that I can flash an aosp based rom.
Thanks.
First off, I would advice you to flash the latest version of TWRP before doing anything. Now, having said that, yeah, essentially press all buttons in the wipe Menu (I frankly don't know if the "Format" button would be overkill). However, be aware that in doing so, you're going to wipe all the data in the partition, including any zip files you may want to flash afterwards. If you end up doing this, you're going to need to sideload the rom into your phone in order for you to be able to install it.
You only lose stuff in data by wiping data partition

If he is wanting to use the Viper rom it is best to flash the version that is on the Viper thread. This has some minor changes in it to allow the install of OTA's and zip files from the hub.
If he uses the latest version it may cause issues trying to install OTA's.

Exactly, so long as he doesn't touch the data partition he should loose nothing. I did recommend the whole "Nuke it" approach because of the whole "Clean Slate" thing the OP wanted though...
Nuke it? Wipe everything, including data partition then sideload a rom?
Thanks.

Yeah, although it's not necessary most of the times, at least that's what I personally do when I want a 100% clean install (Short of re-locking the bootloader and running a RUU of course).

While installing Viper you can choose to wipe the phone for a clean installation. So basically it's not necessary to do anything than install recovery for Viper and then install Viper ROM and choose the correct option in AROMA installer...

if you want to positively wipe everything, use the tot or kdz. im pretty sure twrp doesnt wipe everything, just the major stuff.
link attached here for 20s twrp backup of X727 for those who already have twrp recovery and are having difficulties in updating from 19S to 20S, you can simply just use this.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1tni8kCEA5SN29IUk1rSEx0LW8
Note: will advise not to check the recovery during the restoration as it will restore the stock recovery.
Update: If you are coming from 19s pls do a full wipe before applying this 20s restoration and do not forget to make backup before applying this.

I just tried it now and it booted up successfully, so i dont know what is the problem in your case. I think you should try to do a normal wipe in twrp(data,cache and dalvik) or maybe a full wipe before rebooting the system. but before doing a full wipe make a backup and pull the backup from your phone to pc while in twrp mode. using this command "adb pull /sdcard/TWRP TWRP"

If i restore using this TWRP backup....will it automatically flash the accurate modem baseband firmware for band 12 support ?

TWRP restore went great. Coming from 19s on unlocked bootloader & TWRP. Now on 20s.
My steps:
Wipe system, cache, divak cache (didn't wipe data)
Flash boot & system partitions only
Than flash SuperSU.
Rebooted and it went well.
Thanks!

My RN3 is still running MIUI 8.2.4.0. It has unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. However it is not rooted.
I cannot get any OTA because of the TWRP that I have installed someone cause the OTA not to work.
I would like to now upgrade to latest MIUI which is 9.2.x.x. Can anyone advice what is the best way to do this WITHOUT losing data? Or perhaps if phone much be wiped, what is the best way to backup/restore?
Thanks.

When u update the same rom then u dont need to wipe the data. Just dirty flash without wipe command.
But if u switching from miui global to xiaomi miui eu rom then u must use format data and then wipe data reset. And don't restore backup. Else u will experience crashes and bugs. Apps can be redownloaded from playstore.
Clean flash is always recommend when changing roms.

In that case, I would rather upgrade to latest MIUI global using dirty flash. Should I do this using TWRP or MIUI flash tools?

Miflash for fastboot roms. Twrp for custom roms or xiaomi eu.
Sorry for asking so many questions. I just wanted to make sure I don't brick the phone.
If I use MiFlash, will it override the TWRP that I have already installed on the phone? Will it be okay to flash using MiFlash when TWRP is already installed?

Hello, i currently have a Redmi 5 Plus (Vince). I tried flashing a ZIP file and ended up killing the system, so i decided to flash a custom ROM. I got Lineage OS, but a day after i decided to get back to the stock ROM. But, when i am trying to flash the stock ROM, even though it says it was successful i am still stuck in bootloop. I will be really thankful if anyone could help me with this.

Ever that you think to start to flash something onto your device is recommendable to backup at least some critical partitions like EFS, modem, maybe bootloader so if something goes wrong you can solve it.
Now as you need to format data and this will erase partitions like data and 0 (sdcard) in the case you have some important files (musics, pictures and others) you could need to backup them before to start the process.
Miui roms is decrypted by default so in order to can reboot you need to format data.
