Hi Guys,
Total Newb, can't flash new 5.1 OTA over the Alpha release. It won't flash on TWRP even the latest version now doing a bit of reading I apparently have to delete my data, cache and dalvik, so my question is there a way to update without losing all my apps and settings??
Thanks in advance!
As mentioned in the announcement by the legacy team, you have to wipe data.
Use titanium backup, backup all your user data, wipe, update, restore MISSING user apps+data in titanium backup
#stayparanoid
Thanks for the response, as someone who has never backed up my apps and data am I OK to restore data backed up on one ROM back onto another different ROM??
I can say that this worked however as a warning for other users my gapps version which I restored was not the correct version for the new ROM so it forced closed all the time, flagging the new gapps version made it worse, thankfully only a clear cache and data was needed along with closing and restarting the download manager hope this helps someone.

Don't restore gapps.
Use the gapps zip package and install whatever gapps you need from the play store. You can never carry over settings from gapps anyway, well reliably anyway
Thanks for replying, wish I'd known earlier would have saved me some turmoil.

yes
does this install another rom, inclusive of 4.2 apps? otherwise why do i need to wipe data/factory reset? If it does, please indicate so. Like what f/w version the rom is based on etc..
Edit: Just saw this...http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/330-nxt-gen-42-gapps-any-romdevice/ . There is no need to wipe data/factory reset. Doing that will just wipe your installed rom as well and this package will not install another rom for you. That means reinstalling your rom again.
That said, only try this if you had done the necessary backups.
OP pls update your post.
Apps?
Will this require me to reinstall or reconfigure the apps I already have on my device? or are those backed up as well?

That is not true. Wiping data/factory reset DOES NOT wipe your ROM. It only wipes user data, formatting /system wipes your rom. Please make sure you're absolutely clear on what you're posting.
lost play store
did all the wipes you told to do
even did the backup
install the apps but then play store don't work and gone like never installed
even after i did restore to the backup in CWM
any solution for me will be good
Does this include dialer and sms apps?
Is Camcorder on rear camera working on this release?
I've been flashing the nightly cyaongenmod 10.1 builds on my i747m using cwm.
Is there a way to prevent losing all the settings and apps that I have? For example, if I don't clear data/cache will this cause bad things to happen?
Or is there another way to do this?

Get titanium backup and do a full backup of your apps/data. When you restore, dont restore any system app but you can restore the rest.
And to avoid problems, always clear cache/dalvik.

All you need to do is download the new nightly that you wanna flash, boot into recovery, flash the nightly. If you have any other files that you wanna flash like a kernel, flash them after the nightly. Clear cache & dalvik cache & reboot. You won't lose any apps or settings doing it this way. This is how I update every day. Now if you wanna do a clean install every single time you update, that's another story. The way I just explained to you will work just fine. There is no need in wiping EVERYTHING for every update.

It's not only about wiping everything (Clean flash), having a backup is always good and *needed* imo. Never know when something will go wrong, could be as simple as a corrupted download.
So just to confirm, if I download the latest nightly, boot into cwm, clear cache and dalvik, but don't delete user data, then flash ROM and gapps, it will have all my settings and apps already setup?

Thanks. I didn't think about mentioning that. It's kind of a given to me to keep a good nandroid. Some people may not know though. Thanks for adding that.

I have a touchwiz nandroid and a cm10 nandroid on my SD card and my computer.
Will I have to flash gapps again or will that already be there?

Gotta flash the Gapps everytime you flash a ROM. (Their respective one)

You will only have to flash Gapps the first time. If you update like I told you, you will not have to flash them.

Changing from stable to nightly
Hi,
I'm currently running on a cm 10.1.3 stable (note 2 N7100). I would like to install cm-11-20141027-NIGHTLY-n7100. Do i have to do a complete wipe or just flash the downloaded file from recovery.
cm upgrade manually w/o losing data

Does it apply to stable updates and upgrades also and not only for nightly?
Can I use the same method for updating CM11s to CM12 whenever they release...?
Titanium Backup
Will the Titanium Backup * root be the correct one, or the Titanium Pro?
hello,
i have a very very strange problem updating linegaos:
in my other tread i told about my "error 7" problem during flashing. Flashing the betafirmware solved this issue.
but the problem I am facing now is more disturbing:
maybe my problem has a connection to the fact, that I flashed twrp 3.1.0-0 yesterday which wiped my phone., therefore let me tell shortly. I had to restore nandroid backup (including recovery) to put my phone to the previous state. after this nandroid, the gapps were missing (because, i think, there were no gapps on the wiped phone). so i flashed gapps (and SuperSu) again and resigned into google account, many apps were still not working, so i restored them with titanium. but i did not feel comfortable with this messy solution so i flashed nandroid again (this time with gapps on the previous installation) and the phone is, as far as i can tell, in the exact condition as before this mess.
BUT NOW THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:
situation now is: twrp 3.0.4-1, lineage-14.1-20170302-nightly-oneplus3-signed, OnePlus3_OpenBeta12-FIRMWARE+MODEM-flashable installed.
aim is: updating lineageos to lineage-14.1-20170309-nightly-oneplus3-signed.
what I did:
booting to recovery --> install --> select lienage.zip --> flash --> wipe dalvik/cache --> boot into system. (then reboot into twrp and flash superSU --> wipe cache/dalvik). So far so good, the update worked, but my gapps (and with them my account connection) was gone. because of that, many of the licenced (bought) apps dont work right. So I went back to twrp, flashed the gapps (pico) --> wipe cache/dalvik --> boot into system and sigend into my google account. many apps still not work properly, so i restored a few of them with titanium backup (app and data). after titanium it seems that the apps are working again. of course I could restore all apps with titanium backup, but i wonder wether i am the only person who looses the gapps when updating lineagos.
i cannot believe that i have to flash the gapps with every single lineagos update and i have not read anything about this here or elsewehere.
sorry for writing so detailed, but i hope this will help you to help me finding out what is going wrong.
thank you so much.,

i have a oneplus 3 phone and have a very very strange problem updating linegaos. i already wrote in the oneplus3 section, but got no answer, so i hope this is the right place to ask.

Hi guys,
How do I properly update Lineage OS nightly updates or any other ROM for that matter. The update through the "About Phone" doesn't seem to work. It gets to about 70% then tells me the download failed. I tried many times. I did some research around the forums and everyone seems to say do it manually by downloading the ROM and flashing it via TWRP overtop. So I did that but when it rebooted it lost all my user and app data and I had to reapply all my settings manually.
I also did a twrp backup before I did the previous install. I tried to do a restore and same thing. It seemed to have lost all my app data and user data. Had to redo everything manually so instead i just installed the latest nightly and redid everything manually. Did I misunderstand how to update the ROM?
Thanks!

Just download the full rom and follow the procedure.
1. Take a backup of System, Data and Boot.
2. Wipe System
3. Flash in this order: ROM > Gapps (Yes you do need to do this)> Custom kernel (optional) > SuperSU/Magisk (optional) > any other mods.
4. Now wipe Cache and Dalvik and reboot!
5. First boot might take a while. If it loops just try it again or restore the backup and create a new topic!
Ah thank you! I was selecting the wrong options. This worked
