I rootd my N7 2013 LTE but did not install TWRP. If I install TWRP, will this prevent future OTA pushed by Google?
If yes, how do I UNINSTALL TWRP? Will I have to wipe my device in order to do so?
I am not planning to install custom ROM, just trying to access TWRP to do tablet and dalvick cache wipe, since I have issues with thousands of deleted_wakelock and suspend_backoff. Per this guide on wakelocks, I have to do the wipe.

Crap, I don't want to wipe my device just to uninstall TWRP, given I have stock ROM.
Any other way to wipe cache without TWRP?
No it will not prevent an OTA update, however you will have to flash it yourself, just let the update download, reboot into TWRP, navigate to the OTA zip which will be in /cache directory on your device, and flash as normal, clear dalvik and caches, and reboot.

Hello guys, I would like to know how to update my ROM using dalvik cache? I have Foxhound ROM 0.3 and i would like to install the 0.4. Can anyone help me ?
Hi Mate
You don't update using the Dalvik Cache. The Dalvik Cache is just something that is best to clear before an update.
In order to flash a new ROM there are a few things you need to have set up on your computer and phone and they are well detailed here:

Read the above thread and find out what has already been done. I think your phone will be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted already. If so flash the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod CWM and then just download the ROM you want and store it on your phone. Once done you will be able to use the above link to easily write it to your phone using CRM and the Flash Update from SD Card Option.
Hope this helps.

Ummm. he doesn't have to read that thread..
Just simply download the ROM
Put it on your phone's storage
Boot into CWR
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Flash ROM
[OPTIONAL] Flash Kernel (if you used one a custom kernel)

If you flash another rom, will your apps be wiped as well? And if you flash an update from the same rom? Just back-up with Titanium or? Thanks.

Apps are never wiped unless you wipe data/factory. Yes use titanium

Hello there,
I was thinking to make a flashable CWM script that eliminates the necessary steps before changing a Rom. He script should have this content:
/format data
/format cache
/format system
/format Dalvik cache
Would it work? If yes has anyone such a similar script and share it please?
Thanks
First of all, wiping dalvik and system is redundant.
Wiping data wipes dalvik (/data/dalvik)
Also, when you flash a tom, it automatically wipes /system unless you're flashing an incremental update.
So why do you want this script when you have to push like 2 buttons anyway (factory reset/wipe data and cache)? The red be more trouble migrating to the flash able to wipe stuff than going to the wipe menu.

no. the rom you're flashing has to have the script to wipe system (most do, but there are some that do not)

If it doesn't wipe system to install the rom, then I don't know what you think it would be installing....I would question that 'dev ' that does that.

If the ROM doesn't wipe /system, then most likely you're flashing an incremental upgrade, or the dev doesn't know what in the world he's doing and you should probably steer clear of said ROM.
Also, AFAIK, all the gnex ROMs here at xda, rootzwiki, and cyanogenmod wipe /system.

I understand the knowledge shared here but better be safe and follow all four steps then be not sure? Or not?
Can someone help by providing such script please?
Search for the Android Revolution ROM in the dev section. IIRC they have some kind of script in the OP
Anyone can pass Wipe Script Flashable ZIP me to flash (for Baked ROM)?
Thanks!!
There's no need to wipe until after you're done
I'm using TeamCanjica CyanogenMod 10.2. Each time I've installed a new ROM on any device I've always gone for the full wipe and flash (Data/cache/davlik) but I am wondering if I am simply updating an existing version do I need to wipe data/factory reset?
This is the procedure I'd have thought would work:
Download latest zip (Only ROM? I already have the latest GAPPS)
boot into recovery
wipe cache + davlik
flash zip
wipe cache + davlik
reboot
Would this update work and keep all my data/settings etc or would this likely cause problems with the build? If it wouldn't work is there a way to update without losing everything?
Cheers

Hi, is is possible after rooting to replace TWRP with the stock recovery, stay rooted and enjoy OTA updates.
Rooting is out of question, but besides the fact that 3.2.0 is still not available from the Oneplus website and it is hard to judge which unofficial source is trustworthy, I would prefer not to have to reroot and install xposed each time I flash a full image.
I am also interested in this.
Is this possible without wipe?
I guess root and xposed should be reinstalled even after OTA:

Download complete ROM from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540823780
1. Booted into TWRP wiped Cache & Dalvik
2. Flashed Full ROM 3.2.0
3. Wiped Cache & Dalvik
4. Flashed systemless SU and systemless Xposed v85.7
5. Wiped Cache & Dalvik
6. Reboot
You will not lose data and be updated at the same time.

Thanks, but I know how to do that - aside from the fact that I would like to get my ROM from Oneplus or at least a dedicated XDA-dev thread, instead of some link in some forum. The question was if I can flash the original recovery to be able to receive OTA updates.
currently running pure nexus rom 6.0.1 on my n5x and want to upgrade to android n
any way to flash android n update without any data or app loss?
ps: n5x rooted with twrp recovery
Sent from my Nexus 5X
Download the N factory image and extract it. Use fastboot to first flash the bootloader. Then re-boot into the bootloader. Then flash the boot, system, radio, and vendor images. It's always good to back everything up first, just in case. You might have to uninstall then re-install some apps. You'll have to re-flash twrp and SU.

but i guess
flashing factory image will wipe my internal storage too?
if not then how?

He literally just explained step by step how to do it. You can do it this way or use ADB sideload like I did. Some apps needed to be reinstalled, but all of my internal storage was kept.
Okay thanks
