Your thought process is valid, but there is a technical difference between the two, and ultimately they have different effects. Flashing stock basically overwrites the corresponding partitions, a factory reset issues an erase command. For storage issues, and bootloops - it has always been the case that issuing this 'erase' is the common fix, because it cleans out any "junk" and redelivers you JUST the stock images in their intended default state (if that makes any sense). In theory, factory resetting shouldn't be needed after a clean flash, which is the case a lot of the time - but it seems there are circumstances that it is needed.

To deal with this, I am working on a new feature in v1.9.8 that's governed by a simple checkbox in the flash stock options (in the main toolkit options) for performing a "Post-flash factory reset". Users will be able to check this box, so that this wipe is performed directly after the flash. I am hoping this works well and eliminates the need to boot into recovery to wipe.

Looks like Wugfresh has some work to do. In the past his toolkit has worked fine. But it does not root either my Nexus 7 2012 or Nexus 10 running Android 5.0. . Other are reporting it works.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Your issues could be related to 2.23 beta SuperSU. I could revert to 2.19. Also not all apps work on lollipop. Either way, v1.9.8 is almost ready.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] CoolRaoul:
Last Sunday when I have been struggling with that issue, I had made at least 2 factory resets wich doesn't have changed anything in this area

Since then, I have asked a friend whose Nexus 10 is still runnning and not rooted to check this.

He has the exact same size for his "/system" partition (643.7MB), with very little available space (not as low as after Lollipop upgrade but not much, only 6.9Mbytes in his case):

Nexus 10, Kikkat :

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize

/system 643.7M 636.8M 6.9M 4096

Nexus 10, Lollipop:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize

/system 643.7M 643.6M 148.0K 4096

So I'm pretty sure thats a specific Nexus 10 issue,

I will continue to monitor the dedicated thread .
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Could you guys try enabling the post-flash factory reset in the toolkit options, and flashing again.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] cnow:
Hi folks,

After upgrading my N10 with OTA and rooting via CF-auto-root afterwards, I tried yesterday the upgrade to Lollipop once again for my N10 - for educational purposes only ;). This time I flashed only the factory image with NRT followed by rooting via NRT, but without wiping user data. This time everything was fine! No problems at all.

BR cnow
[Nexus 10 Android Development] CoolRaoul:
Could you please check the amount available free space left on "/system" partition now?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] cnow:
Sorry I can't. [emoji17] But the space was very limited. So that I had to delete Pinyin.apk in order to get adaway working.

I tried to restore this apk in order to give you an exact partition size, but it wasn't possible for TitaniumBackup.

Secondary Users App Backup

Hi, I have a Nexus 10 running Android 4.4.4 and I have rooted using your tool. I am now ready to upgrade to Android 5.0 but I am faced with an issue regarding secondary users and the ability to backup app and app data for the secondary users. I really want to format my device when I upgrade to 5.0 but I am unable to backup the apps and app data for the secondary users. I am wondering if Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit could assist with performing backups of secondary users apps and app data? The primary user and secondary user both have pro versions of TitaniumBackup but that tool unfortunately does not support backing up secondary user apps and app data. Thanks for this great tool, it makes rooting my Nexus devices so much easier.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
I haven't really tried doing it myself, but other users have reported to me that secondary user backup with my kit doesn't work. I am pretty sure its a limitation of adb backup. I really thought Tibackup did it. There must be a way. I haven't looked into it myself, but its not like that data exists in some mythical place.. it should be able to be backed up. Maybe search xda a bit for secondary user backups.. if you find anything interesting let me know. I will look into when I get a chance. Maybe I can script something.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 10 Android Development] clarenceb5:
Thank you for such a quick response. I did find this thread with instructions on how to use multiple profiles support in Tibackup but I can't seem to get it working for me.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] mirrored:
I tried to use the Toolkit to get Lollipop on my Nexus 10. I unlocked the bootloader successfully, re-enabled USB Debugging, and tried to Flash Stock + Root with the Toolkit after it downloaded the .img.

It got through wiping everything, then flashed a few things before it got stuck at "Waiting for device" for 20 minutes with my device in bootloader mode doing nothing. So I tried to reset into bootloader mode and it didn't help any. Then I tried to reboot the device and now I think it's soft bricked. How can I just start over? The toolkit won't recognize the device as being in fastboot anymore. Adb will no longer recognize the device
[Nexus 10 Android Development] too.stoopid:
I have a weird problem. I have flashed the 5.0 factory image with this tool kit (unroot + flash stock). At this point everything was fine but then I used the the tool kit to root my N10 and install TWRP. That seems to work as it should without any errors. But now every time I reboot the N10, all previously updated system apps need to be updated again. And at least of some apps the app data is gone after every reboot.

I have used Wugs latest version with supersu 2.23 and followed the instruction carefully.

A full wipe didn't help. So I repeated everything again but every time with the same results. Only without root the tablet works flawless.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
You need to get it to recognize in fastboot and use sofrbrick mode flash stock. Try powering your device down, then back up into bootloader.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
That is weird. Maybe its related to that beta SuperSU. I will updating to 2.25 momentarily, and also it looks like Chainfire is getting ready to publish a more elegant solution that doesn't involve kernel edits.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Lenster45:
Went from 4.4.4 to 5.0 using 1.9.8.

Stock/unroot to 5.0 to root/ install recovery and it all worked well.

BTW. I did this on Windows 10 X64 Preview

Could not get USB connection to work on Windows 8.1 x64 or Windows 7 X64. I suspect some other USB device drivers are getting in the way.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] BosCeltics18:
I flashed stock 5.0 LRX21P from 4.4.4. However, I am stuck on the Google logo screen. I wiped factory reset and cache from the recovery, but have had no success. Fastboot is working fine. Please help me. I would greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] too.stoopid:
I will try again with 2.25 supersu. But I think this is more related to the kernel edits... Hopefully Chainfires new solution will solve this problem.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Try again. Maybe you didn't wait long enough. First boot after flashing the stock image takes few minutes.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] BosCeltics18:
I have also tried flashing 4.4.4 in the toolkit.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

It will reboot at the google screen and keep trying to boot.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] too.stoopid:
Did you choose flash "stock + unroot" for flashing? Then after successfully flashing the N10 should boot automatically. This first boot takes several minutes.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] BosCeltics18:
Yes i chose "stock + unroot" The device did not boot automatically after the flashing. I have to press power button to

start the system.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

I just flashed the stock image again. Wiped factory reset. And now it is just

stuck on the Google logo. Nothing happening.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] too.stoopid:
That's really strange. I don't know what's wrong in this case.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

This time I have installed TWRP with the tool kit and flash latest beta supersu 2.27 manually afterwards. Seems to work like it should now, no more repeating app updates or app data lost.

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]

Hey guys, just wanted to get a little guidance prior to using NRT again. It's been a while....

Nexus 10 - latest Paranoid Android.

I thought about staying on PA, but it's likely I'll need the 5.0 update for the bootloader anyways when PA 5 comes out.

So, I'd like to get to stock 5.0 w/root. I would..

Use flash stock/unroot. Then root.

My question is, do I add the update ZIP file in the folder for the stock img, or is the 5.0 update already there?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] domlazz:
Tip on 5.0 Root

Hey all, I was having trouble rooting and found that I had the "install SuperSU Pro" option checked instead of "Use latest Beta Version". That can be found under Options\Root at the top of the screen. Once I did that, the root happened without a hitch.

This may be covered somewhere else, but I didn't see it. Just thought I'd save someone else the trouble of a deep search.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] khal_nayak:
im also having same issues of bootloop after flashing 5.0 factory image to 4.4.4, tried many times and with many different ways but still same.

i remember few days back i was on the older nexus root toolkit and that time it had upgraded and was working also but i went back to 4.4.4 because root wasnt working on 5.0 at that time so i guess its something to do with the toolkit thats causing the bootloop

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

the older version on which it worked was i think 1.9.3 or 1.9.4
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
there is nothing "in the toolkit that is causing a bootloop" - the flash stock procedure is standardized. Have your tried factory reseting? Have you tried enabling "post-flash factory reset"?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 10 Android Development] khal_nayak:
i tried factory reset and upgrade as well as post flash factory reset but same

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

i even flashed stock 4.4.4 factory image and then tried to upgrade using OTA file which went through just fine but then when 5.0 is about to boot, it just boot loops on the splashscreen with the 4 colored dots
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
How long do you wait? It can take more than 10 minutes for first boot on lollipop.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 10 Android Development] khal_nayak:
first time i waited 40mins and second try i was on 40% battery so i just left it on till battery died
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Ok, yeah. That's a real bootloop. Have you tried flashing from an alternate USB port or computer?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] khal_nayak:
i tried a different usb port as well as a different PC and after almost trying like more than 25 times it seems to me thats happenning due to something in the process of converting or upgrading the data partition
[Nexus 10 Android Development] khal_nayak:
i tried a full format of all partitions and then did a factory image flash and then the device booted up fine but what i noticed was, after rooting and installing twrp, all was fine but as soon as u run the fix permissions in twrp the device again gets stuck in bootloop inspite of it being a fresh install without any apps
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Why are you using fix permissions? That feature is not advisable at all and is likely a sure shot way to cause complications. After a clean flash, no additional measures need to be taken.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] khal_nayak:
ok i tried one more time, now the issue is im rooted and thats fine using supersu beta version but in twrp i can see the sdcard etc but in android esexplorer dont seem to see the sdcard as well as installing titanium backup just gets stuck on searching for application data for ever plus android storage also shows sd card as nothing much on it,almost empty

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

plus when u click root in ur app it installs stuff but then again stuck on bootloop so i recommend u release an update with the latest supersu app (BETA-SuperSU-v2.27) or else more and more ppl will get stuck in bootloop if they use the root button in ur app. flashing the stock kernel also doesnt recover the device from bootloop.

im sick of this lollipop issues, i guess ill just wait till all issues r fixed, meanwhile i recommend others to stick to kitkat for now
[Nexus 10 Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hello guys,

Ive been trying for hours to get back to stock or root my n10, and though I get fastboot and the device is rebooted, it always gets stuck at the "FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA001 4000"

and nothing happens, it times out.

I reboot, try again, same thing, regardless of whether I try to simply root or flash stock.

The command screen also says "sending recovery failed - data transfer failure Unknown error"

My current rom is kejar31's lollipop (not an option on the Nexus Toolkit menu, so I chose Android *.* Any)

Now I cannot boot the device, it stays in bootloader mode.

What can I do now?

Tx

Mark. (win 8.1)
[Nexus 10 Android Development] garnet&gold:
since you are stuck in bootloader mode I would try flashing back to stock from softbrick/bootloop instead of normal and select the 5.0 option instead of *.* Also you can try a different port, or if possible, another computer.

Best of luck!
[Nexus 10 Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hi, thanks, I had tried that and failed too... I managed to get lollipop with another nexus 10 toolkit on another pc with Windows 10, but still can't get root. Anyhow, it's not the end of the world [emoji6]
[Nexus 10 Android Development] garnet&gold:
Cool. Glad you are back up and running. For root, use the SuperSU 2.35 zip. That's what works for me.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hi, ok thanks... Though I don't have custom recovery to flash that... :(
[Nexus 10 Android Development] garnet&gold:
You can use the latest twrp. I believe there is a zip file of it if I remember correctly.

Hi, i used the tool kit to flash 5.0 on my nexus 10 and i have it running fine but my status bar and soft keys background are black. I noticed in video reviews of 5.0 that they should still be translucent. Any ideas whats up?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] jblaylock:
Just like KitKat, Google didn't include that feature on the nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] fredphoesh:
holy cow

I had no recovery mode at all!

At bootloader I choose recovery mode, and the tablet rebooted to a black screen, sometimes with the gear android man, sometimes just dark grey screen... very odd indeed...

I tried a third computer, this one also on win 8.1, and for the first time I got the USB signing message on my tablet, so selected that, and managed to flash TWRP and root stuff...

whew

Amazing how it can take several cables and or a few computers to get these things to work... it used to be a lot easier!

[Nexus 10 Android Development] garnet&gold:
Glad to hear you got the issue resolved. I can say the toolkit worked without issue for me on two N10s. Unfortunately, sometimes the gremlins come out to play.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] GreeKNastY:
im currently on rooted kit kat thunderkat. what do i do if i want to just go to stock again. do i do the unroot option on your toolkit or what?

basically i want to start from scratch and root isnt a big deal for me at this moment
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Correct. When doing so you will have the option to chose any stock build you want to flash. So you can go to stock KitKat or lollipop, your choice. Afterwards you can use the root button if you like.

This will wipe so backup any files you want to your comp first.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:

I thought that when I flashed 5.0.1 last night but the stock recovery (I've only ever used CWM/TWRP recoveries) takes a while for the lying down android to appear. You get the 'dark grey' screen for some time and think it's broken. Dunno whether this is a new Lollipop thing or it's always been that way.

5.0.1

have downloaded 5.0.1 factory image for nexus 10 to my computer .

i want to know how to flahs this factory image to my nexus ten .

where is the option in the toolkit to choose what image should be flash on the device because v.1.9.9 choose 5.0 from servers and not the 5.0.1 from my computer

sorry for my bad english
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
"Flash Stock + Unroot" > Other/Browse

However if 5.0.1 is available for your device. It should be listed in NRT. Hit Update, and you should see it as an option.

Try an alternate USB port and/or cable and try again. If using a desktop try a backport. The error is indicative of a bad USB/fastboot connection with the device.

Quick question, and I hope its not repetitive, but I flashed the 5.0 image and set everything up before the 5.0.1 was available. If I use this to flash the 5.0.1 image, will it wipe data/internal storage?

Well, I skipped 5.0 and went straight from ktu84p to lrx22c, I was rooted and used the flash stock and root and luckily i spent some time making backups, both an .ab apps backup and a nandroid, because I completely skimmed past the warning that this will completely erase the device.

of course when i brought it back up google tried to restore the apps but it died somewhere in the middle as per usual, so the .ab restore was most helpful.

stock, root, looks like i'll have to redo some of my customizations but otherwise, it is great!

Trouble rooting with 1.9.9

I had no trouble rooting my Nexus 7 but when I did my Nexus 10 I'm stuck. It had just received the 5.01 update a day or two ago and the about showed Android 5.0.1 LRX22C. That's what I specified in the "Your model type" part of the Toolkit.

I did an "Unlock" but now I'm stuck at the bootloader when when I try to use the Nexus Root Toolkit 1.9.9 I just keep getting "ADB Device was not found". This same machine (windows 8) worked flawlessly to root my Nexus 7 a few days ago.

I've deleted and reinstalled drivers over and over again to no success.

It seems like the bootloader would be the easiest, most generic interface to upload new software but no.

It's displaying:

DEVICE INFORMATION

PRODUCT NAME: manta

VARIANT: wifi

H/W VERSION: 8

BOOTLOADER VERSION: MANTAMF01

CARRIER INFO: NONE

SERIAL NUMBER: A32010462EA

LOCK STATE: UNLOCKED

REBOOT MODE FLAG: NONE

Downloading...

Do not turn off target!!

More twiddling. I remember when I first installed the drivers, prior to doing the specified "Unlock" procedure, a "Nexus 10 Driver" showed up in the USDDView. Now no matter what I install, the driver won't show up. There are however some Samsung Drivers that always self-install when I plug the device into the Desktop's USB port.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
Adb doesn't work in bootloader. Only fastboot.

Try a factory reset, or flashing stock (with "soft brick mode")
[Nexus 10 Android Development] wallywallywally:
My windows box doesn't see the device.

I tried Soft-Bricked a lot. Same problem. Windows just doesn't see the device.

At one point during following the Full Driver Installation Guide I did see a Nexus 10 driver in the USBDeview list but I deleted all such drivers and tried to reinstall them with the Full Driver Installation Guide. It never shows back up. It's like Windows needs the machine to be in a higher boot mode to even see it.

I can get into the Bootloader, and I can "attempt" to load Recovery. I get the alien with the red triangle but pressing POWER VOLUME-UP just makes the machine boot into the Google dancing bubbles display (this machine is 5.0.1).

Although, I'm not sure which direction is VOLUME UP on the volume control. My wife gave me this thing and I tried to root it right away without becoming fully familiar with the control. I've tried both directions with the same effect.

I could use Odin if that can access the device without fastboot.

Oh wait, I just got into the stock recovery menu. Damn those buttons are tricky. I think the Volume up is the end furthest from the power button.

There are a bunch of messages:

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

...

etc. all related to /cache

Doing a factory reset.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] WugFresh:
You will be able to fix it when you config your drivers in bootloader mode. Try alternate ports, cables, etc. Also try rebooting your computer.

Once your computer can see a fastboot device. You can use softbrick mode Flash Stock + Unroot to restore/fix your device.

You can check fastboot connectivity with advance utilities Quick Tools, Fastboot > List Devices button.
