Hi guys,
I've been having some persistent trouble with my device and have been advised to reflash to see if that fixes my problems. Someone suggested to me on a previous thread that it was possible to do this without erasing all my data and apps and such, but I had always thought that reflashing (following, for example, these instructions) would wipe my phone completely. Am I just completely wrong or is there a different method which avoids wiping the phone.
The exact advice I was given is as follows:
My confusion is really with the statement "fastboot flash the images separately" - the only image I had thought to flash was a fresh copy of the stock 5.1 ROM I'm running, and surely this would wipe the phone?
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious - I'm still very new to the business of rooting and custom ROMs.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm running stock 5.1 ROM over the latest leankernel (on an N6 of course).
