Also I should mention i do have a few apps and i understand i'll need to back them up as well as contacts etc.... BUT something strange happened my music in the music folder in internal storage and my picture in the touch flo pictures also most likely found in internal storage remained after a fresh hard reset unlocking and flashing to the new rom, why is that I thought everything would get lost and everyone seems to panic often from what i've read!
Please correct me if i'm wrong, I really just joined and been reading for about 1 week prior all this stuff! |
hard reset doesn't erase your internal storage, only the device side. All music, pictures and anythign else in internal storage will remain intact.
It might not be necessary to flash to stock or clear storage after flashing from 4.7 to 4.8 but its not a bad habit to get into.
