I recently made a backup of every partition with TWRP and forgot to remove screenlock beforehand. So I restored the full backup after messing with custom roms, everything worked perfectly and everything was restored, until I couldnt set a password... I can go to the settings to set up a password but after confirming it, it closes and I have to do it again. Not even custom roms with formatted data can set a password... What can I do?
(The video has black parts which is just the recording hiding me setting up a password)
I've been there... Twice. The only thing that helped was a factory reset by (a) OnePlus (servicepoint).
NOTE: if they reflash stock rom, they should afterwards REBOOT TO STOCK RECOVERY, WHIPE EVERYTHING and reflash the rom once more.
If you ignore this step and a second flash, the question is not IF you will gey problems, but when.

So, if I bring it to a oneplus service point and they fix it, I should format data and flash stock rom again after? Where do I find the stock rom to flash?
No! They should re-flash stock (that's what they'll do anyway). But YOU need to tell them, to (after the flash) reboot to stock recovery, wipe all, and then re-re-flash the stock rom.
If they don't do that, they'll see you again, soon.
For some reason I don't know, one flash keeps residu of former 'playing around'. Your service point will probably NOT know this.

Yesterday, I installed Andyx ICS rom through CWM (followed proper procedure i.e. 4 wipes). Install was successful, however, I was having some force closes. I decided to revert back to gingerbread and did 4 wipes again and installed CheckROM v4 (all through CWM). It was successful as well. This was lastly followed by restoring my nandroid backup to get back to my rooted-stock ROM.
Two strange observations:
1- When ICS was installed, it had the same background (personal picture) as it was in my stock rom. Why is that? After doing 4 wipes, it shouldn't have anything except everything vanilla :S
2- When I reverted back to GB (CheckROM) from ICS, during first boot, it came up with passkey lock screen. I had to enter the same passkey as I used to enter in my orignal stock rom (pre-ICS). How can this setting be stored when I wiped everything and changed two different ROMS (with different kernels).
Any help would be much appreciated. I just want to know what exactly might have been the cause of this. Or is it normal? :S
Wrong section - this is a question.
My 2 cents, you didn't wipe data.
Usually this will happen if you select the backup and restore options during setup of your phone. Some application, security and system settings are backed up and then restored when you install the new ROM, even after a full wipe. When I upgraded to ICS, I deselected the restore option as I wanted a fresh install.
I did following wipes in CWM recovery (1 time each before installing ICS. And three times each before going from ICS to CheckROM v4)
* Wipe data /factory reset
* Wipe cache
* Wipe Dalvik cache
* Wipe battery stats
As for the right section, my apologies..Mods feel free to move this thread to the Q/A section.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, not sure if I understood you correctly. Where do we get that option? I made nandroid couple of weeks ago. And flashed ICS zip through CWM after wipe...didn't see any option to select or deselect.
I installed a wipe version of ICS and during the initial setup of the phone, I simply left all the options selected. This resulted in my wallpaper, settings and apps being restored, which I didn't want. I then reflashed the ROM and deselected the restore option and voila.... all ICS defaults

A nandroid backup is a full backup no matter how many wipes you do in the end you restored your nandroid backup this means that the phone is restored to the state it was when you made the backup.

Its a called , Back up and Restore...Google allows automatic Backup and restore...This helps you restore Apps and Settings even if you do full wipe.
Hi - first time trying to root. I successfully rooted, installed Entropy's Kernel, and I thought successfully installed TurkbeyRom (I don't think this is a question specific to this rom, so I"m posting here...).
After booting back up, I get this message: " The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly". This takes out my wireless signal, and keeps popping up with the error even when clear that screen out.
I realized that I didn't do any sort of data wipe before installing this rom...could that be the issue? I was under the impression that when installing them, it asked if you would like to wipe data, and it didn't.
My question is - if I wipe the data now, how much will I lose? Obviously I don't care about apps/contacts/etc..I'm wondering how far it'll set me back in the rooting process. Meaning if I wipe, will it completely wipe out my kernel...etc.
Thanks!
Boot into cwm and wipe data factory reset...then see if it fixes the issue. It wont go backwards in the root process

Please read before posting. Check the FAQ question [21].
- ROM install doesn't ask you to wipe, you have to do it yourself. (FAQ [21] has steps how to do it in CWM. For that, it is assumed that you followed this guide all the way through.
- any type of wipe will NOT remove your kernel. Wiping will remove stuff like your apps/contacts/etc
Wipe data/factory reset will remove any user installed applications and personal settings that have been set since the flash. It will not make any changes to the kernel or system partition, so the rom will be just like if you wiped first and then flashed the rom. That should solve any issues, but if there are still problems after the wipe, then try flashing the rom again.
Most roms here don't do an automatic wipe, afaik. You must do the wipe first, usually from ClockworkMod Recovery. It is always recommended to wipe when changing from one rom to another, from stock to any rom, etc. You can usually get by without a wipe when doing a minor upgrade of the same rom, assuming there is not change of base within the rom.
Thanks guys. It works perfectly now after wiping.
Sorry about not seeing that in the FAQs. I did look there, but I must have had a different "question" in mind than "[21] Install Custom ROM from CWM" and glanced past that one.
Hi, i have been using XWLP9 stock rom + DXLP9 stock kernel for some days but i'm having weird lag issues with lock screen. I have had the same issues before with LP4 rom.
I use simple slide lock screen, but it also happens with pattern lock screen. Sometimes after pressing power or home buttons, after that screen turns on, screen is very unresponsive and i have to slide 3 times to unlock because it is laggy. Pressing home button again or waiting a bit before sliding reduce the problem, but it is irritating to do this every time i want to use my phone
I wiped everything before flashing and i'm not using external sdcard.
¿Is my phone faulty or is it a common problem on ICS roms? I never had this problems using stock GB rom.
Thanks for your help
Did you tried wiping?
I say backup your stuff, do a full wipe using cwm including format of system partition.
After that flash stock dxlp9 not xwlp9.
Wipe again using the dial code.
Don't think its your phone, might be bad flash.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
My phone is not rooted so i have not used cwm, but i did the following wipes in recovery mode before flashing: Wipe Data/Factory reset. After that i wiped sd. I flashed my phone twice doing that, first LP4 and then XWLP9.
I use that rom instead of DXLP9 because it has Spanish language. However, I flashed DXLP9 kernel on top of XWLP9 to avoid SOD issues.
What are the differences between cwm wipes and the wipes i did?
as atifsh said ,follow tht an get it rooted to enjoy the benefits of android.....read few posts for ,begginers,rooting,flashing it will help u instead of asking minor issues.....

get the cwm.zip, install it using the stock recovery, you will get touch version of cwm.
now goto mount and storage
format data, system, cache
goto advanced
wipe dalvik cache
reboot into download mode flash stock dxlp9 using odin
without signing let your phone start.
now see if you have those issues.
i think you will not have those issues anymore.
now you can flash any stock rom but please stay away from xwlp9. use xwlp7 instead.
Edit:
you never got rooted in the process above, if you dont want you are still as stock as you were before.
wiping the way i told will completly erase the OS from your phone thus you will have clean slate to start with.
if you want to stay on dxlp9, let me know ill tell you how to get spanish language for swype keyboard.

What about flashing the latest XWLPD and see if the problem exists? The non-wipe from Intratech should do if you have already wipe/clear everything prior to updating from Gingerbread to ICS..
I'm having the same problem with the unlock screen. I have stock XXLPH, but rooted. I've been having this issue almost since day 1.
It is so annoying that I decided to disable the lockscreen at all for now

I have just flashed my phone again (XWLPD Nordic Conuntries) following your steps but the problem persists. I formatted data, system, cache, wiped dalvik cache but the annoying issue is still there
Another idea?
It's called wake up lag or something like that. It's horrible, sometimes the screen is unresponsive 2 seconds after pressing the power button. Correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think GB had this problem, I've only noticed it on ICS. So no, it's not just you.
Guys, I got the damn issue solved, I flashed the leaked TW launcher(attached) from the SGSIII rom, then everything went fine and the device is soft and fast.
If flashing the new TW launcher didn't solve the problem flash the latest version of Siyah Kernel (im using 3.2.5.2)

I don't have that issue, yes if screen is of for some time waking it takes 2 3 secs, but it never lags to Swype, even if I hurry and unlock it right when screen shows.
Hello
my friend changed his password to the phone, but of course he forgot it..
I thougt that a wipe and a new rom could do it.
I've struggled with it a long time now..
I can flash cwm recovery - ok
I have tried du download a ICS stock rom, and flashed it with odin. it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
Then i tried to flash a Gingerbread stock rom. then i asks for the code again.
I flashed a new .PIT-file
When I flash the gingerbread rom, it still have the same background as before.
My question is how to I get rid of ALL data on the phone? internal sd-card and so?
some data must have survied the data wipe/dalvik wipe in CWM
what to do?
There is no ext. sd-card
phone is af gt-i9100 intl. version

when the ICS stock rom gets stuck at the samsung logo :
* Boot into recovery mode to do this press and hold Home + Volume UP + Power and your mobile phone will boot into recovery.
* From the recovery screen, Go to Factory Reset and Wipe cache one-by-one and confirm both.
* Now, Go back and select “reboot system now”.
hello
thank you for your answer, but i've tried that.
but how can it be, that the phone remembers the password and backgroun, even after a wipe?

data wipe means that the user-data is deleted
I think that device passwords are saved with the system-data
you should - 'format system', that should do it.
good luck.

No. Password is stored in /data/system/.

A few days ago I installed RR Oreo on my device using twrp. Now I want to go back to MIUI and remove custom recovery. Basically I want to revert back to what it was before customising and stuff..
Right now, twrp asks for a password to work and even RR asks for a password before booting completely.
( Guess something to do with encryption)
Guys please suggest a fool proof method that won't brick my phone.
I searched on the net, but there were so many ways that I got confused..
Please help!!
Why would you even go back to miui?
Because I'm having issues
My camera isn't working, battery life sucks and there are heating issues.
Please tell me how to do it properly.
I think the device is encrypted. How to go about that?

If u coming from miui. Then Before installing custom rom U must format data in twrp. It formats the data and internal sd and decrypts the storage.
It will erase ur stuff.
First format data
Then wipe data factory reset
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
Thank you so much!!!! God bless you
Just one doubt.
I want to go back to MIUI from a custom ROM.
I made a twrp backup before installing my current ROM.
So after formatting data and wiping factory reset, can I use that backup to restore?
I tried restoring the backup earlier but the phone got stuck at mi logo (I didn't format data, maybe that's why it got stuck)
Try using Miflash
