[Q] N00b question about wiping (not my ass) topic

I've been trying out some of the various roms for the Nexus 6 for the last couple months. My question is about going from one to the other. Everyone recommends a "full wipe' but some describe full wipe as factory reset while others say go into advanced settings in twrp and hit everything. Anyway, i've been wiping everything which also takes out the data in the sd folder and any rom or gapps you were planning on flashing from internal. I've been pushing the zip files to the device from the command prompt once I'm in the bootloader, and then going into recovery to flash. Is this the proper method and what everyone else does? Seems like I'm missing an easier method. Thanks for the Noob help and looking forward to the future of this device..... promising.

[Q] Stuck in boot screen, even after wiping data and cache topic

hi, im using 4.4.4, my device is unlocked and rooted.

i was trying to enable the advanced options in Camera+ as mentioned here in the forum, changed the line on build.prop, rebooted the device, and it got stuck at the "bootloader unlocked" screen, not passing that anymore.

so, i got in to recovery > and wiped data and cache. the device rebooted itself and now is stuck again in "bootloader unlocked" screen.

now if i press power button to turn off it gives "2 vibrations", like its doing something (but is in this screen for past 5 minutes)

any help apreciated.

[Q] restoring stock recovery, rom, wiping root topic

Heya,

I need to activate my phone guarantee and wondering what are the steps one might take in order for them to not void my guarantee.
I have rooted the phone, installed custom ROM (cloudy) and TWRP.

On my previous phone, samsung s2, the download mode had a flash counter that indicated how many times I flashed a rom.
On my LG G2, the download mode just says "rooted".

1) So where do I get a stock rom from?
2) Where do I get stock recovery?
3) How do I wipe any evidence of root?
4) In what order do I need to do everything?

I did google and came up with some of these answers, but I put my trust in XDA and hoping I won't f*ck my phone up by doing something in the wrong order.

Thanks!
