No, app data will be there, after flashing you just need to wipe cache/dalvik (you will see an option after flashing it in twrp)

Problem with twrp, Lots of fail to flash

Lately I'm getting a lot of fail to flash in tarp recovery, the latest one for flo.
I have nothing spécial on it , only plain stock rooted.
Sometimes when i want to try another ROM or whatever that needs to be flashed in recovery I get a fail to flash.
I don't know why, any advice?

What is the specific error you encounter?
Wipe cache, dalvic, data, and system. Then back out to main menu. Go to reboot, recovery. When it prompts you to root, click not now. When it re boots into recovery, flash away.

I too find that when I try to flash update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 using twrp, it fails.
Is there no way to do it without wiping my data? That would be a pain!
I'm on rooted stock rom.

Make sure you are using the lateste TWRP, earlier ones tend to fail, try Philz recovery works great
Thanks for replying. I'm using twrp 2.6.3.0. Still failing to flash.

Yup thats why look for 2.6.3.1 or try Philz
I'm not sure how to update twrp. Will open its recovery screen and see if it has an update option.
What is Philz? I searched for it and found coffee shops.

[Q] Please help, errors installing firmware

Hello,
I've tried to install new kitkat beta, however I have loads of issues running this, let me explain a little about what I did:
I had firmware b119, then I switched to B125, I've tried to Install ROM for Kitkatm But i wasnt able to achieved, then I downloaded the Beta kitkat firmware, but I had issues with google apps, then I've swichet to B125 again and when I've tried to add my google account this message pop up:
"couldnt sign in
Cant stablish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer care"
THEN, I've swichet to B111 (official international firmware downloaded from Huawei web), however I still having this issue connecting to google accounts, so, I have no play store or google apps.
What could the issue be? How can I fix this? My data is working properly, I can use the browser, but not log into google account.
Im from Costa Rica and I also wasnt able to find the official firmware used here to return to the original state of the phone.
I've wanted to have ROM HYD52ROM V5] but seems I wasnt able to update it.
I´ve updated again to firmware b125 and I´m still having this same error.
I cannot log into Google accounts, all my back up information is there including my contacts.
Any idea how to fix this?
You could maybe try to flash latest gapps.

So you can get into TWRP? Just wipe data, system and cust, and flash any stable rom from your sd

Do not update, because you are wayin' too old version on your phone now. Just do a clean wipe and install the ROM.
i'ts a too old version of dn3... reboot in recovery mode and do a full wipe and clean, then try to install the new dn3 4 rc

From Philz choose an option for 'Clean to install a new ROM' under wipe data and cache, and then try to install a new one.

Everyone tells that I wiped my zenfone2 's cache data and all. Is it necessary to do? I got my zf2 a week ago and didn't do anything in recovery even didn't enter recovery.
Thank you all.

I just noticed the same thing.. went to clear cache and nothing..
Not installing this until I see a few successful attempts, or just stay patient and wait until it comes up on my updates.. lol.
Edit: got super impatient.. installed from SD through stock recovery and everything seems to be working. Didn't format anything, yet. Just wanted to make sure it worked.

The only option is to install a custom recovery to obtain custom options. I've tried mounting the system part to see if any more options came up and nothing. I believe the ROMs are baked to clear caches before and after flashing. With how long it takes to boot after flashing, it's definitely repaging something..

Yes. Old phone.
"Some time ago, in the days before Nougat,*Android used a system cache*to store system update files. Android has since moved away from that, preferring*a different method*for installing updates.
Many modern phones don’t even have a system cache now"

So, is this method (installing that .zip via Recovery) working in order to unlock the bootloader?
