Fastboot's Wipe Cache Partition very slow on 6.0?

Like the title says, it takes about 5 - 10 minutes to perform a wipe from Recovery, where in Lollipop and before, it was a few seconds. A couple of websites have corroborated this.

Does anyone know what's changed in 6.0 that a cache wipe takes so long? I'm on an unrooted N5 and performed a clean factory flash (and re-locked the bootloader).

Did we go from

Code:

---

mkfs -t ext4 /dev/[device]

---

to

Code:

---

rm -rf /cache/*

---

or something? I mean, even formatting a heavily encrypted partition shouldn't take that long (especially one as small as /cache).

Anyone?

If I re-flash my current stock ROM with the same ROM, will it wipe my sd card data?

I need to reflash my ROM, but I don't want to lose my data on my internal SD partition. So what would happen if I flash the same ROM that I have currently?

I have the stock S6 ROM currently on my device (G920TUVU1AOCG_G920TTMB1AOCG_TMB)

In case of full storage wipe.

Hey guys.

I just moved from my Samsung Galaxy S4 to the Oneplus One few weeks ago. I had rooted the S4 and I am familiar with the whole rom flashing and kernel changing process. I usually store the file I want to flash in the SD card and flash it via TWRP. But the OPO doesn't have a external slot. This is making me think if I should root my phone or not since there is a chance of me wiping the OS off along with the data. I always take a nandroid backup but what if the backup itself is deleted from my phone? Is there a way to prevent this from happening?:confused:

Thanks in advance!

HP wont let me in after partial wipe.

I havent used my Touchpad for a year or so but took it on holiday to Portugal. I tried getting my GMAIL to work and it would not. So I did a partial wipe. Now it lets me say what country I am and what language then goes to wifi screen. It shows its picking up my wifi and lets me sign in then an error message comes up and it goes no further I understand Webos is not supported any more so was wondering how to load a new software package ( Android?) and start again. Help please?

Urgent please!!! unable to enter fastboot after wipe partition cache and bot error..

Its been a month my phone sitting quite...

After updating to latest version i decided to wipe partition cache while on the process it showed erasing android bot then restarted and hung on asus logo for nearly an hour so i decided there is some problem and force switched off then after switching on it shows the blinking android error bot.........im unable to enter neither recovery mode nor fastboot mode(when entering it shows for a some seconds waiting fastboot cmd bt then comes again to the normal boot screen)....
Its been nearly a week i went thru various post and tried most of the methods like entering recovery mode thru adb(as im unable to enter fastboot mode it shows in cmd waiting for device) and pressing both buttons same for stock recovery(it shows some lines saying in last line can't mount recovery)
SO CAN SOMEBODY THROW LIGHT ON WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RECOVER MY PHONE FROM THIS ERROR.... would be grateful and thanks in advance.

Google Play Services has Stopped CONSTANTLY after full wipe on Kyocera Hydro Icon

Hi everybody.

I recently purchased a Certified Pre-Owned Kyocera Hydro Icon from Freedompop.com a few weeks ago. I did a lot of research about it before I bought it, and the first thing I saw was "Kyocera Hydro Icon Certified Pre Owned. Price: 39.99" I clicked on the Pre-Owned link and it said this. "Our Certified Pre-Owned phones are Guaranteed to be in Like New condition because all Freedompop Certified Pre owned phones are Cleaned, Repaired, Sanitized and have been fully wiped, even before they are shipped. Right after I read "Have been fully wiped" I thought "Since this phone is an android phone, they probably deleted Gapps and Google play services while they wiped them. I know that a lot of the google apps and tons of apps on the Google play store (that I'll definitely be using) require google play services to run." I thought about not buying the phone, but it was a really good deal, so I bought it. One week later, I received the phone in the mail and I set it up and updated it. I added my google account and tried to sign in with it in an app, and it said "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped." And it did that EVERY SINGLE TIME I tried to sign into an app using my google account, it said "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped." I use my google account more than every day, so I needed to get this fixed as soon as possible, thus Freedompop should really stop wiping their phones THAT much!:(

Back to Stock - Will Odin wipe?

Guys,

So I'm on CM12.1 - all great and what not, but I've had enough, and want to try a fresh Stock install. I've downloaded the latest 5.0 build from Sammobile

My questions are

1. What happens to root?
2. What happens to KNOX 0x1?
3. Will ODIN wipe clean the storage? [I expect it to wipe all installed apps, but will it wipe local data? i.e do i need to move 10gb+ of stuff and then move it back?]
4. Will I be able to get OTA updates?
5. Will my recovery still be there? TWRP currently.
6. Will there be a modem/baseband problem with going from 5.1.1. to 5.0 ?

Cheers
