Question for the uber flashers here.. How would a simple Odin flash of stock Sammy firmware wipe the internal SD storage? It doesn't.. Or shouldn't.. I've done it many times but flashed the stock LP 5.0.1 image and (apparently) the data on internal storage is gone.. I say apparently cuz I didn't see what was there before.. Just helping a friend out.. Note4 and was going to put PR on it for him

I think a factory reset (from within Android Sammy TW) was done first but can't confirm.. That's another thing, there is much confusion on that one from phone to phone and os version to another as many factory resets (of the past) would only do apps and app data and accounts, etc but leave internal SD intact but now some do everything including internal storage (think this might have started around kk).

Factory reset within recovery doesn't touch internal.. Flashing Roms and firmware doesn't..

As far as I've seen from my experience, only formatting internal or changing csc's or some system factory resets from within Android should do this.

It was mostly backed up anyways so no biggie only a few recent files gone but I'm baffled a bit if this was true..

Btw second day on my PR and still smooth as butter and only getting better :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Sorry to hear that man...I'm with you in I suspect they may have accidently done the system/storage/factory reset which does wipe the internal storage...I think the confusion is some twrp also used to include it in their "factory restore/wipe" which is now broken off into advanced...I don't think I've ever seen Odin wipe internal storage ime but i could easily see someone mixing up system factory reset and twrp "factory reset"...that makes alot of sense to me

Great dude I'm glad all is running well for you man...good man helping out a fellow modder [emoji106]

re: odin flash

You are right, factory reset in recovery wipes everything including system and

data and everything else.

However even factory reset in recovery does not wipe internal or exernal sdcard

unless you manually specifiy to do it.

Odin does not wipe or touch internal sdcard or external sdcard either.

Odin flashing official stock Samsung firmware will not delete data.

The phone itself must have been factory reset before the odin flash.

The phone's internal factory reset wipes everything, even

internal sdcard but it does not wipe external sdcard.

When using the factory reset within the phone will result in making the phone stock and wiping all user

information, files, contacts and everything else from the phone, it's good do do that if selling the phone.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Parnelli98:
I have flashed back to stock LP 5.0.1 at least a handful of times this past week using Odin, and each time it had not touched my internal storage. But to go all the way back to stock, I had rebooted to recovery (which was stock at that moment) and perform a factory reset. Each time I did this, the internal storage had been formatted and returned to stock. I had just performed this 20 mins ago to set up my Note 4 for a clean flash of another ROM (sorry Mega!). Not sure what happened in your case, but if I want to go back to as true a stock setup as possible, this is what I do.

I have not, however, had the internal storage erased completely. Just formatted and setup with stock folders and files. Sorry if I have read your post a bit wrong!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Actually here's a scenario.. Not applicable here (I wouldn't think) but I'm personally curious nonetheless. Say the csc of an install was changed previously (and to non default or intended provider) and used for a while, data stored, etc etc.. And then you do simple Odin flash of stock firmware but it's a new (proper provider or region) csc... Wouldn't that possibly in an indirect way wipe the internal?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sdelcegno:
Thanks for the response. I don't suppose you have an idea what kernal might work with lollipop and gear vr. I've been away from the forums for a while and searches aren't helping me.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Honestly. There isn't much more that could be done without re writing the whole thing.

Lollipop is as fast as its going to get. It's really that great on my end. The speed is so fast that I don't miss xposed anymore. I think for someone like me that lives in the los angeles area I'd prefer to have my apps open and do things quickly without any hesitation and PR has finally done that...at least for me. It finally feels like a premium device, how it should have when I first got it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I know what you're saying...and tbh the little annoyances I have of the theme are relatively minor...my experience has been awesome on pr...and that's sort of where I'm at...I love the speed and snappiness with similar battery to my fk setup...only missing a setting background and notification background which admittedly is transparent now and I don't mind...note is working on or has the Sms replacement so that's why I'm not rushing back by any means...I wanna check our v13 and see how it compares and improved but the overall experience for me on pr has been like having a new n4...or more like a new note 5 as my n4 never ran like this before lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mutantblack:
I went through V13 and it was fast but compare to PR3, PR3 is a bit faster. Other than I wanna mod status bar color, I really don't miss the xposed. Even without xposed and using regular greenify, I get better or same battery life as V13. That surprised me. I thought greenify and amplify with xposed will get me better battery. I guess not much difference with the way I use the phone.

I love everything about PR. Colors, snappiness, battery life, camera etc. So far I haven't thought about once going back to FK. Adaway works great and with all in one gestures I can multitask super quick. I am planning to buy Multiwindow commander and see if I can put all apps as pop out then I will be all set.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I only really hate the Sms app...other than that I'm pretty cool with the tw...the touch animations are a bit much at first but that gets normal fast....I love like the kb speed is as fast as I can type...s pen same with writing speed that's what I love...I've been playing on v3 like I used to on n1...just amazed at how everything works...I didn't have that same feeling on fk...I love how instant everything is

I actually like the teal/blue ui theme color...if they would have been uniform with that in sms ect would be awesome imo

Emotion kernel supports all varients & is for lp.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sdelcegno:
Its a cool device. It really is fun. With that said it is not a consumer ready product on the note 4 at least. It shows the potential of vr . the issues is it overheats the phone after 15 min of a game. Also the software is severely lacking. Samsung and occulus don't seem to work well together especially with independent devs. It has shown Me though when htc comes out with their vr with the body tracking and measures your room almost like a star trek holodeck I'm buying regardless of price. Its potentially that cool.

Honestly I wouldnt recommended it, so I wouldn't if you want full speed but my confession was... I did for v1 and v2 and it's still running perfect. No crashes or anything, which makes me wonder how some people are getting errors...Idk

I would do a clean flash. Just my recommendation

re: dirty flashing

Anyone can dirty flash v2 to v3 but for those of us who want perfection or close to it will do

a full wipe which always includes factory reset in twrp before dirty flashing different versions

of any roms.

People who dirty flash are usually the ones who have bootloop, stuck on boot screen and other

issues like lagging, wifi calling not working, settings not sticking and over all sluggishness.

Don't forget to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything.

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

I don't know about the toggles, but the settings for the toolbox

can be accessed by long pressing on the little floating circle.

1st day on PR. Coming from FKv13x and honestly don't find PR to be much faster if at all. FKv13x is blazing fast too.

I do miss having xposed for the theme customizing, the YouTube ad removals, the mod to download instagram pics and videos, and the easy manipulation of the system (like having 8 toggles, adding any apps to multi window, etc.)

I'm kind of lazy about going back and starting from scratch with installing my setup on FKv13x so I'll probably run PR for at least a week or two before I switch back.

I Odin flashed I don't remember how many times. Used Odin 3.07 and 3.09 different times also. Ank4 or cod6. Nothing worked. So I just left it cod6 firmware stock and ordered a replacement with the excuse of new tmo update messed it up. Waiting on my new phone.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

So downgrading cod6 to Ank4 shouldn't mess with the phone ,am I right? I'm just thinking maybe it was the phone itself had issue with the screen.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh man that's really hard to say...When you start talking about really extreme mods on a carrier device... then running Odin it'd possible...but again ime in 99.99% of situations it's the go to fix...that even the most unusual situation like this I still am inclined to go with someone wiped it via storage factory reset it and didn't realize then proceeded with things until realizing after the fact...is it possible? It may be technically possible for someone to force a cascade of issues/errors with an really exyensive system mod that would cause odin to trigger a wipe somehow to patch the mounts or something....but you're talking so theoretical and far out I can't even give an example...so while technically it pay be "possible" to have a clean wipe as a byproduct of Odin but the plausibility is unbelievably low compared to simply mixing up twrp reset and factory reset imo
