hi, i wanna ask...if i wanna flash to another devoid.Franco ROM (previously using void.echo) do i still need to dl the Terminal Emulator & Custom Recovery Tool Image and its Flash Image then run the Terminal Emulator & key in the codes then only start flashing another ROM?
i've did tat at the first time i flashed to a void.echo ROM now i wanted to flash to devoid.franco, do i still need to repeat all that step again? or i just enter the "power button, volume down button and home button" mode then wipe then flash will be good?..need advice thanks..
Just wipe and flash..
thanks for quick reply!
another question...how do i know that i already have the ext partition?...after i wipe everything included wipe ext..do i still need to create again?
Wiping doesn't remove partition..
On Mike mod
can we install franco kernel on mike mod 6.5.2
If your from void#echo previously, do these:
1. Backup all your user apps+contacts via Titanium Backup and all SMS via SMS backup
(they're all available free in the market)
2. Turn off phone. Reboot to recovery (hold power button+home+vol down)
3. Wipe user data, .android secure, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, and wipe ext.
4. Since your on void#echo already, you don't need to partition your sdcard.
5. Download devoid.franco, use usb-toggle on the recovery menu and copy it from pc to your phone while on the recovery and flash it.
6. Reboot (first boot might take a while)
7. Configure settings, Install titanium backup and sms restore app, Then restore all apps+settings+SMS. Enjoy~
8. Well if you know already what your doing and want some further improvements (completely optional, just do a nandroid backup incase) :
8.1 Reboot to recovery
8.2 Flash the latest kernel version from franco's thread
8.3 Reboot
8.4 Flash the ZRAM module
8.5 Reboot and Enjoy your phone
Thanks Kira.Lawliet!
hmm...i actually partition my sdcard again...yea..i flash before saw your reply ._.
will it harm? i partition my sdcard again....n flash to devoid.franco
You have to partition only if you want apps2sd. Else let it be. You can easily remove the ext partition by partitioning with 0mb ext partition in recovery.

definitely you can. just flash your device with mik_os mod first. then flash the franco kernel (v15 now) and lastly flash the ZRAM initializer.
just make sure you wipe the cache and dalvik cache first before you're flashing.
flashing
Ok guys just remember that rom flashing requires you to follow rom partition conditions while kernel flashing may not need to recreate partitions. In my case, I'm using Nessy Hypnos2 and been running with much fluidity after flashing FrancoKernel 14.2. But I did wipe all just to make sure there wont be any conflicts. HYPNOS2 + FRANCOKERNEL 14.2 is like coffee and cream, a perfect match like newlyweds.
Hi,
All is in the title,
I woulld like to build my custonROM.
As I am a noob , I would like to use CWM.
I already succeed in building a wipe ROM
Is there any way to make a CWM ROM without wipe (I didn't succeed in) ?
If Yes, are there some conditions ? or some special features to write in the updater-script ? or a special way to build the update.zip ?
Thanks in advance
Well do you mean the ROM requires a wipe to work, or that the zip is wiping?
There will be a line in updater-script for wiping /data in the latter case.
If you're needing to do the wipe to make it work, then you need to look at the ROM you are going from and to...

Thanks for the answer
If I don't use a wipe script, I have some bootloops.
In the way I build the Rom, I am obliged to use a wipe script.
My question was general. Is there a way to make a non wipe customRom working With CWM ?
Thanks
when I want to CMW flash a custom ROM without loosing data nor cache (homescreens, contacts, bookmarks ...). Am I obliged to wipe some data in /data in order to avoid bootloops ?
I was thinking about wiping data/data/ witch should be automatically rebuit. if I am right, are there some other folders I am obliged to wipe ? (dalvik-cache ... ?)
Thanks,

There's no requirement to wipe anything on /data, if same package signatures are used. You shouldn't get boot loops.

Ok, If I have well understood,
I want to flash a deodexed ROM over an official ROM, I will have to wipe.
I want to flash a new version (same signature) of my deodexed ROM over the old version, the wipe is not necessary ?
Thanks +++
I succeed in flashing my customROM over herself without loosing anything
[Mode Noob ON] :
If my script, replace everything in /System, why would I have some troubles with signature ?
cause of data cache ?
Hello!
Today I just wanted to revert back to the newest MIUI weekly (with the stock kernel). It's just suits best for my daily usage. Before that, I've used bunch of Custom ROM's, used Siyah kernel and done some OC.
Now, my question is: Together with the usual things like:
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik cache
Is it good idea to also format partitions under CWM recovery (/system, /data or some others) to get as fresh, clean install as possible (just don't want to have any traces of ROM's, kernels or settings I had before). Didn't find any clear answers about that so that's why I'm posting it here.
Thanks!
I've done it a couple of times, had no problems. Just be sure to have the MIUI (Or whatever ROM you want to use) zip on the SD card.
Hi!
Yes, I do have the MIUI ROM zip on my device. So, to get as fresh install as possible, should I format all those partitions ? (/system, /data, /boot, /cache)?

For best result, install stock ROM & then hard reset . After that you install whatever you want .

Thanks sendhiloo7! I will do it then
hii,
My device is currently running on miui 8.5.4.0 global stable,i want to flash los 14.1,and planned some steps in order to revert back to miui safely.please correct me if i am wrong.
1.boot into twrp recovery.
2.Take full backup of current working rom including system.
3.clear data/system/cache/dalvik.
4.flash firmware-los rom-gapps-reboot.
Steps to revert back:-
1.boot into twrp recovery.
2.clear data/system/cache/dalvik.
3.restore full miui backup including system.
4.flash lazy flasher zip to disable dm-verity and forced encryption.
5.reboot.
i have just learnt basics completely but i had some doubts so i posted the entire procedure i thought to do.
thanks.
After taking backup first go to Wipe menu and "Format Data" , type yes and reboot recovery, it will remove encryption - then you can wipe data/system/cache etc..
/system wipe is never necessary .. You can skip that

doesn't it mess up with firmware flash of custom rom?does a custom rom contains a system partition of its own to be flashed?or it just replaces or moves required system files to system partition of stock rom? help me to clear my concept!

Every ROM does contains its own system ..
When you flash any ROM (a full fledged ROM not OTAs) , the previous system is replaced by the later one ..

You'll have to understand what Format Exactly we are here talking about .. When you go to TWRP/wipe , you are provided with 2 options , Format and Advanced wipe .
The format option is set to "wipe" the partitions, /data /cache /dalvik , that is generally what we require in order to flash ROMs , the wipe Option is hence the same as format , but I think the guy above is talking about Full fledged Wipe that includes the "internal storage" as well which can be selected by twrp/wipe/advanced wipe

thanks.one more question.
why dont i need to disable dm-verity and forced encryption after flashing custom rom?why kernel doesn't trigger it,because in that case there is a modification in system partition and dm-verity feature of kernel should prevent the rom from booting.
The "kernel" itself also gets replaced by a modified kernel .. But then again , I'm not sure as to why DM verity doesn't kick in , better ask the Developers (Y)

when you want to revert back you dont need to wipe anything or flash disable dm verify, just restore your previous nandroid backup and thats all
Hi there,
I may be being stupid here I want to move from Lineage OS to crDroid. Im currently on the latest 01/01/2019 LOS build, with 8.12.24 vendor firmware. I didnt flash the disable encryption patch so my device is encrypted. Im guessing I need to remove any security off the lock screen? Im using the unofficial TWRP build - 12/12/2018.
So to make the switch, do i need to wipe my data, or can I migrate over?
And when I go to flash, which wipes do I need to do before installing the ROM?
Im just worried about flashing and then locking my phone with the encryption because I've missed a step This is my first phone that uses android 9.0, and im not used to the forced encryption stuff.
If someone could give me a lil list of steps, that would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
That I do is:
-wipe system, data, cache, Dalvik
-flash new rom, flash gapps
**Flash any custom kernel if you want
Now here is the differences
1) if I want keep the encryption but format the internal storage I just do a factory reset or format data or internal storage, all are the same and reboot in the system
2) if I don't want keep the encryption, I reboot into recovery, later format data, then flash the zip to keep the phone unencrypted (FDE? I don't remember the name exactly but it is in a post on the guide section), and last flash magisk, then reboot system
3) if you have the phone without encryption and you want keep it in that way, just do the wipe to the system,data,cache,dalvik then flash system, gapps, any kernel at your choice, magisk and reboot into system
PD: remember if you flash a vendor zip, the phone will be encrypt
PS:I hope that I don't get wrong in something
