Step by Step Guide

for some common flash Use Case Scenarios​

Here you find the most common use cases you are faced with when you often do Rom updates or evaluating different kind of phones. If you started here and find yourself not understanding what this is about, please read through my “Best Practise Guide for Flash addicted users” above.

In general, always have an updated Titanium backup in place to be on the save side.​

Case #1

Your first Rom install utilizing the BareBone Cleaner​

or

Flash new Rom version or different Rom and keep all your apps and settings

​

download the desired Rom and the BareBone Cleaner to your phone storage

Check Boot Loader and Modem version and if necessary flash the Boot Loader and Modem recommended by the OP of the choosen Rom (strictly follow the OP instructions)

reboot to recovery

create a Nandroid backup (never skip this step)

wipe system, dalvik cache and cache only (in TWRP under “advanced wipe”)

install the Rom but don’t restart

install the BareBone Cleaner and clean down to your personal needs

restart

install and configure all apps which you cleaned from the Rom but still want to utilize

Case #2

​

You want to try out a clean Rom installation
​

download the desired Rom and the BareBone Cleaner to your phone storage

Check Boot Loader and Modem version and if necessary flash the Boot Loader and Modem recommended by the OP of the choosen Rom (strictly follow the OP instructions)

reboot to recovery

create a Nandroid backup (never skip this step)

wipe system, data, dalvik cache and cache only (in TWRP under “advanced wipe”)

install the Rom

Restart and evaluate the clean Rom.

Case #3

​

You want to continue using the clean ROM you just evaluated

along with your standard apps and setting​

​

Check for the latest version of the BareBone Cleaner and download it to your phone

reboot to recovery

wipe data, dalvik cache and cache only (in TWRP under “advanced wipe”)

restore the Nandroid backup of your standard data partition only

install the BareBone Cleaner and clean down to your personal needs

restart

Enjoy your new Rom along with your standard apps and related data and settings.

Case #4

Next time you want to try out a clean Rom installation

​

download the desired Rom

Check Boot Loader and Modem version and if necessary flash the Boot Loader and Modem recommended by the OP of the chosen Rom (strictly follow the OP instructions)

reboot to recovery

create a Nandroid backup (never skip this step)

wipe system, data, dalvik cache and cache only (in TWRP under “advanced wipe”)

install the Rom

Restart

Now you can evaluate the clean Rom without the need to do any basic setups. You immediately boot into the launcher and have already access to the Google Play Store etc.

When you finished the basic evaluation of this Rom and you want to continue using it, just follow “Case #3”guide again.

Let me know if you have questions concerning this or missing anything like additional steps or use case scenarios.
