Can I flash a rom without factory resetting?

[AC Question]

can i flash a rom without factoruy reseting

i have the lg leon lte i found cm 12.1 for it i dont have an sd card. (dont ask money issues rigth now) and i wanna flash it but im afraid if i factory reset first im gonna lose the zip files so what can i do instead. i was thinking about just flashing it and doing the reset after i flash the first zip. or delete the cach and dalvik cacth before i flash any of the zip files.

I would suggest getting a flash card, even a small one, perhaps you can borrow a friends card for the job. You should always start from scratch you need to wipe dalvik cache etc. Otherwise you can end up with unwanted results.

Wiping the device using a custom recovery can be done while the zip files are at the root of internal storage. TWRP is a good custom recovery that allows you to wipe the partitions that you need to to move forward with the custom ROM. I personally don't like using external storage for flashing devices.
