I'm running ViperOne 4.3.0 (Jan 17) on my HTC one. I have a question and a bug report.

First my question, if I flash an updated version of the same rom will I retain all my data and settings? I believe the answer is yes but would like to confirm.

Now the bug report, if I am using the camera to take pictures then I lock the screen, I cannot unlock the screen. I have to hard reset the phone. My "solution" is to never lock the screen until after switching to the home menu first. I don't see this as a fix in the latest changelog and cannot post in the development thread until I get 10 posts.

Thanks in advance.

You can try a dirty-flash (ie flash without wipe), but it's usually not recommended between different bases. So if you have problems with a dirty-flash, you're going to end up having to flash with wipe.

Use Titanium Backup (or similar) to backup & restore, apps + data, call logs, sms & mms, try to avoid restoring system settings as those are likely to cause problems.


Do a nandroid, dirty-flash, and see how it goes.... still wipe is recommended, between major revisions.

many of us have done a dirty-flash from 4.3 to 5.0.0 with success. It's not recommanded since it's a different base, but so far, no issue
