Hi all,
PA 6.0.2 is installed on my OnePlus One and works like a (old) charm. I want to update it to PA 7.2.1.
Is it possible to make the update without loosing my data / applications (without a data wipe) ?
I also read that PA 7.2.1 is only compatible with ext4 partition. How can i check it and convert it if my partition is f2fs ?
Thanks !

Twrp. Wipe. Advanced wipe. Repair system. Will show there. I dont think older phones are f2fs anyway. And yes you will have to clean install it

Steps Are experimental... These steps works for me... Hope they Will work for you too...i'm working On them...
Requirements...
1. XMS with stock 4.3 Rooted With CWM Recovery...
2. CM11 317 or Above (Mine is FXP317) + Gapps
Steps...
1. Boot your 4.3 stock and uninstall all user apps + useless stock apps + Google apps and make your rom clean rooted or you can restore backups of this link
2. Making Maximum free space on Internal Storage is Important otherwise u can not get more installation space on CM11...
3. After this settings boot up in recovery and follow steps below...
wipe cache partition >> Go to mounts and storage >> format data and cache >> Go to Advanced >> format dalvik cache...
(Caution - Don't do wipe data/factory reset or format system or anything which can clean your system partition...)

5. After flashing reboot your phone and you will see network on your CM11...
6. In Addition you can use these steps to swap your internal with your SD...
More Tips...
Google apps of our android 4.3 dosent supports in 4.4 cm11 so it is necessary to uninstall all google apps before flashing CM11... otherwise you will get error after flashing CM11...

Huh? Uninstalling apps / deleting files from internal storage fully unnecessary for installing CM.
Because it fits only in /system partition, installation process don't care about free space on internal storage.
And anyway you wipe /data from recovery, so all user apps will be surely deleted and there will be full free space.
System apps will be deleted too:

gapps stored in /system partition
With installing CM11 that partition formatted > all deleted > no "base of 4.3 stock"
There no any reason remove it while phone on 4.3
Cause of your error was something other.

really bro..all these are unnecessary ..
flash 4.3 ftf of c1904 or c1905[i just used c1904] ...boot it once..now power off
now flash cm11 kernel,wipe data,cache,system
now flash cm11 zip,gapps reboot...thats all
using cm11 on XMD [c2004] with working network..
Its unnecessary. /system gets wiped when installing CM11. So no use of installing it over 4.3 stock. You just need to boot into 4.3 baseband and then simply, you have the needed baseband for the CM11 builds.
I use Samsung Grand I-9082. I don't know much about android's workings and followed a youtube video to root my phone. I was then on 4.2.2 and then out of curiosity upgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1. It was fine so when Cyanogenmod 11 came out i flashed it too using the same CWM recovery. Since about a month ago my phone is becoming unresponsive sometimes especially at lock screen and occasionally it reboots by itself while i'm in the middle of something.
Is there any way i can go back to android 4.2 from CM 11? I should also mention here that i don't want to unroot, just downgrade to a stable rom that my phone will be able to adequately function with, without causing any trouble.
So suggest some good stable roms with dual sim capability. I'm considering gennxt custom rom.
I'm not much technology literate, so kindly give me instructions for the procedure. Thanks in advance.
You can flash any stock custom rom
Or restore your stock rom backup through cmw recovery If you have

No, but most people would flash gapps 6 too, else you will miss a lot (must be done at the same time as the ROM the first time to set permissions)

Copy CM13 rom and gapp in your sd card.
Backup your old firmware through twrp.
Do a factory Reset from Wipe.
And install CM13 and gapp respectively.
And enjoy ^_^

checked every file hash matches, did exactly as written, done all of above and it doesn't work
TWRP went on in less than 10 second does that sound normal ? and how do you know if its actually on there?
Nope. Installation take atleast 2 or 3 minutes.
and if its installed properly you would have seen different rom from the stock.
Here is what i use for s4 mini(i9192). Also used it on i9190 model as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-25-apr-2016-t3366314
and these steps mentioned in the website.
A. Initial install
1. Copy ROM and Gapps to your external SD Card or internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and Gapps
5. Reboot
Its simple. Should have worked.
I hope you have installed your model rom.

In TWRP Swipe for factory reset will do the job. you can also do dalvik /art cache in advance wipe. System or other wipe never did it for changing roms.

Ie that enough only to make WIPE FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE is not necessary to the FORMAT SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE ??
sorry i do not understand.
to install a rom just do a factory reset. nothing else is necessary.
If you do not do factory reset, sometimes you will not be able to install a new version of rom(for example, from kitkat to lollipop).
if you do not do factory reset its called dirty flash.
for example
you are using custom rom cm13. and it has a new update released, you go in twrp recovery and install the updated rom without doing factory reset. this way you can keep all the application and data you have.
i hope i am making some sense. it is hard for me to explain.
well do some flashing and you will understand but always make a backup.
Hi! I went into the latest TWRP recovery with unlocked bootloader, and I wiped system, cache, dalvik and data. Then I flashed the proper vendor image, the ROM zip, Gapps and then Elemental X kernel. However, when I reboot, it just boots me into TWRP recovery. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and cache. I then tried restoring a nandroid, but it just got stuck on the Google screen. Didn't even get to the colored dots screen. I ended up flashing factory image, but I would like to get my Nandroids working and this ROM. Please help! Thanks
I'm no expert but I think it might be happening because of encryption. Did you disable encryption before doing all this stuff?

Encryption in stock Android? As far as I know, I can't turn it off. It says that the device is encrypted in settings. I think nougat forces encryption.
Unless maybe there's a patched kernel that can do that?

I dont think is your problem , im encrypted and never have issues with twrp! Never!! What version of twrp you running? Theres an unofficial kicking around that is much better than official! Maybe you got a bad download! I would redownload all, find and download unofficial twrp 3.0.2.3 I believe. Let your phone boot before you flash custom kernel, thats always worked great for me. The latest official twrps 3022 and 3021 both have nandroid restore issues as well efs restore issues that could ruin your day
Format data and system (format, not wipe) and try installing it again. Should work

What's the difference between wipe and format? On TWRP there is only WIPE for all partitions, but a format data button.

Wipe just deletes all data on the partition. Format makes the partition again, therefore it removes encryption, repairs potential problems etc. Format data has dedicated button in TWRP, for formatting System go to Advanced Wipe, check system, tap on Partition details, check EXT4 and perform format.

A Thought
Dunno if this will help, but whenever I flash a ROM/kernel combo, I always flash the ROM/gapps, boot up with whatever kernel is included in ROM to make sure it boots properly, and then after successful boot flash EX kernel through TWRP.
OK, so I formatted DATA and SYSTEM, and I wiped CACHE and DALVIK. I then flashed the proper vendor image, pushing it to the device with adb push, and then adb sideload for the pure nexus ROM. It's currently installing. Then, I will adb sideload the gapps ZIP file. Then I'll reboot and see if it worked
EDIT: It just said "No OS installed"
EDIT 2: Just flashed the ROM again, and it is showing the boot animation. This time I did not do Gapps. I also wiped and formatted everything again. Hope all goes well.
EDIT 3: The ROM booted fine. Glad all is working now

So I had flashed the ROM with no Google Apps or anything, just the ROM. But when I add a Google Account, I can't because it says Google Play Services has stopped. I just noticed that the build number is one of a Nexus 6P, and the vendor image is different, the one I manually flashed.
hi i guys, i wourl test this file system, how can i do? i read about this and if found that i must do a bakcup with twrp of partition data, change and format the partition data and restore the partition data, is it correct? after i flash a kernel with s2sf, but the data partition is the partition where app data are? or what?
i hope you can resolve my dude
You mean F2FS? I guess you can at least try backing up and restoring partition, but clean install of ROM would be better.
you can use F2FS on Data and Cache partitions

Take a look at the backup files in your TWRP folder. The file extensions will have the file format in them and will tell the recovery the format with which to restore the partition. You can hack this by changing ext4 to f2fs.

Install jolla's multirom TWRP for f2fs formatting. You can do it within jolla's aroma installer options.

When you install the Jolla kernel zip, the installation menu will give you choice to install multirom-twrp only. Install the multirom TWRP, reboot back into recovery now you can format to f2fs.
