I am running CWM Touch 5.8.2.4 and set up my phone just the way i like it, now i am wondering if i flash the new 5.8.2.7, will my phone reset and will i then have to reinstall everything? Thanks!
Unlocking wipes it
Mod or Die
Got bored and flashed the new CWM. Flashing a new recovery image does not wipe the device.
What about stock removery

Does flashing the stock recovery wipe the phone?

No. Unlocking the bootloader, super wipe, flashing a ruu, factory reset - they all wipe the phone

Help plss was runing gummy port ics and after updaing to UPT4 i got a random reboot and now it just reboots the splash screen ive tried installing ruu and recovery through h-boot anyone have a solution
hey,
If you are able to boot into recovery do a full wipe! I mean data cache dalvik, and better yet do it twice to be sure, then try flashing a new rom. and do your wipes again after you flash it.
was the ruu successful? because you will have to end up flashing superuser again.

I'm on TrueAncestor now and want to try out Gin2ICS. Do I need to flash the stock .ftf ,root and install CWM all over again or can I just wipe and factory reset in CWM and flash the new ROM?
Yup! You need to do a factory reset if you don't want to get a bootloop
And also don't forget to 'wipe cache'..
If your current fw is match or compatible with gin2ics, you don't need to flash fw again. Just flash the rom via cwm and don't forget to factory reset and wipe cache before

actually you only need to wipe dalvik-cache, the rom installation it self will do a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
And backing up the previous ROM should do just that (back it up) in every aspect (restore apps, widgets/shortcut setups)? And what about restoring myapps back on a new ROM im flashing? Do i have to just do it the slow way with play store or is there a better way? Same question with restoring home screen setups/widgets/app placement when flashing over to a new ROM? Can Titanium backup do this? BTW Im usingTWRP for recovery.

I went from stock GB to .58 enhanced+TrueAncestor following the ROM-guide for TA. Should I have done any factory resets/cache resets and what not during this? Everything works fine but I dont want any trouble later.
Some custom roms require you to factory reset . Some wipe cache and factory reset automatically
Hi folks
I have H-Boot unlocked can I install custom roms. My phone is a Wildfire S 510 e on the uk O2 network.

You must root after unlocking. And install CWM recovery or some another. Then you put rom on your sdcard, do nandroid backup and wipe everything (format system, factory reset, format cache) and then install from zip. Everything through recovery. And for root, do it from some tutorial on xda and flash recovery too.

it doesnt matter as long as your hboot already unlocked.
and you need custom recovery like cmw to install custom rom

Yes, it will recover you from a bootloop provided you do all wipes (data, system, cache and dalvik cache) and you are using a compatible kernel (for example - CM10 with FXP's kernel or Trinity Rom with DoomKernel/TrinityKernel).
if you have a nandroid backup flash it first..if not then yeah, what @abcdjdj said
The best/safe way is to flash it through Flashtool
difference?

WIPE all from recovery. But if you want you can do it from menu settings also, reset to factory settings. After that flash the new ROM, wipe dalvik's cache too.

If its just a backup you're gonna flash, just clear cache and dalvik cache then flash your backup and reboot
Just rememer to always create a backup before flashing mods bro, if you get bootloops you can easily revert to your backup instead of going through the whole process of flashing a brand new rom and starting over from scratch

OK. I flashed the wrong kernel on my new Nexus 7 (2013). My stupid, I flashed the kernel (franco) for the old Nexus 7 on the new one.
Luckily, I can still access bootloader and recovery (TWP). Now it's stuck at Google (again, I can still go to bootloader and recoery).
Where can I find the stock kernel that I can use? Or Can I flash a custom kernel?
Thank you in advance and I appreciate every comment.

I recommend flashing a custom kernel.

Have you considered trying this which will return your Nexus 7 to its original factory settings with a stock image? I haven't used this method but it may get your tablet working again. Also, for future reference, you should always make a nandroid backup before you flash something new in case you run into problems like this.
Wiping the cache/dalvik cache usually works for me when it would hang on the boot screen after a flash.

I did it but nothing changes
Do you have a ROM installed?
Try restoring to factory settings, reflashing a ROM, and then flashing the kernel. Wipe cache/dalvik once you're done and see if that works.

Try flashing the stock rooted ROM here.
To restore to factory settings, go to "Wipe" then slide the slider at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks cyberprodigy and Username invalid for helping me.
I fixed it.
After flashing 2 custom kernels (all of them were said to be completed install) but I was stuck at Google.
So I tried to flash a stock kernel (I downloaded it from here, sorry for hotlink-ing from another forum: http://droidbasement.com/asus/razor/flo/sys-backup/jb-4.3_ota-full_n7_razor-flo.zip). I will also uploaded the stock kernel file extracted from that link in case somebody needs it but doesn't want to download the whole Stock ROM.
The file extension is .img, so for people not knowing how to flash this file, use this command
"fastboot flash boot <the file name.img>"
Thanks again.
Here is the llink to the stock kernel for N7(2013). it's 16Mb so I can't attach it.
