Trying to get back to CM 10.0 from 10.1

I know the CM 10.1 nightly was experimental.
I flashed it, and it worked decently well enough.
What I failed to realize was that 10.1 flashes a new kernel on the phone, one that is incompatible with CM 10.0. I'm guessing the 4.2 base requires a new kernel.
So Fine, I've tried flashing the stock kernel on my phone, and then installing CM10, but no fish.
Any attempts I've made to change my kernel and then install CM 10 have resulted in my phone being stuck on the CM boot screen (the cyan circle animation)
Flashing CM10.1 nightly from twrp lets my phone boot up, because (i suppose) that rom installation just installs the compatible kernel again.
Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with my kernel flashing?

What hboot r u on? You're full wiping right? And if you're on hboot 1.14 grab the boot.img our of the Rom zip you desire to flash and Fastboot flash it

I'm on the 1.09 hboot. I haven't messed with my hboot ever. Should I be upgrading? I'll have to look it up.
I did try what you suggested.
I extracted the boot.img from CM10 stable for evita, flashed it via fastboot.
Then i rebooted into recovery, wiped my system, my cache, my dalvik cache, and did a factory reset.
Then I flashed CM 10.
After all this, still stuck on the cm boot animation. :3 I give it about 10 minutes before I decide its stuck. That is enough time, I think.

Ok no you want to stay on hboot 1.09 and redownload the latest cm10..and do these exact instructions
Wipe factory reset
System
Caches
Install Rom
Install gapps
I'm thinking you just had a bad download

I've done that. But just to be sure, I'm gonna try a fresh download once more. ^_^ Brb 10 minutes.

Curious what happened, as I think I may be having this same issue.

OOh that worked. Thanks a ton! ^_^
Probably was a bad download all three times I tried to download it before. :/ (I should probably buy a lottery ticket now :/ )
Now, Let me try installing my rooted stock rom. :3

Almost Same Problem
I have HTC One XL
-rooted
-unlocked
-bootloader unlocked
-hboot 1.14
-twrp recovery
I was also running the 10.1 expiremental (the first one). It was very buggy, so I tried out the newer experimental to see if the problems were fixed. The newer one was worse, so I decided to switch back to 10.0 nightly. I used fastboot to change the kernel to the one extracted from the 10.0 rom zip. I went to recovery and installed the 10.0 rom, but I DID NOT WIPE ANYTHING THE FIRST TIME. Either it slipped my mind, or I was thinking it wasn't necessary because I was still using a CM rom. The device would not boot, but instead of hanging on the cm animation screen, I'm stuck on the HTC logo screen. I went back to fastboot and did the kernel again and the phone automatically rebooted up correctly, however after a reboot i'm still stuck at the htc logo screen. It reminds me of tethered jailbreaks on iOS, lol. I may have to reflash the kernel every time I reboot. I tried stable, nightly, 10.1 nightly. no dice. any ideas?

Sounds like the best solution would be what I did, thanks to box of kittens.
Full wipe. (factory reset, system, cache)
Flash a download of CM to make sure you don't have a damaged copy.

Actually, I just remembered. If you're on the new hboot, you should be flashing the boot img through fastboot, and then installing the zip. Since you've been doing all that anyway, perhaps its time to just wipe everything and start over, step by step.
> download cm 10.0
> check md5 to make sure it's proper
> extract boot.img and flash it via fastboot
> reboot into recovery.
> wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset
> transfer the rom and flash it via recovery
:/ I'm no expert here, but that's what I'd be doing now.

[Q] I can't get any 4.3 roms to work.

Every 4.3 rom I install after the first reboot it hangs at unlocked bootlaoder screen. I have tried every recovery out there but everytime I have to fastboot to be able to restore a 4.2.2 rom and get it to boot. Does anyone know how to fix this because it is very frustrating. I wipe everything when I install to. I follow the standard procedure and I am not new to rooting or flashing.

keep in mind the second boot on 4.3 roms seems to take a while, how long is it hanging on the boot screen? I remember the first 4.3 I flashed hung for about 5-8 minutes before it booted up. it seems to be the second one that hangs consistently for me, but it does always boot. All following reboots after the 2nd are normal with no hangs.

I think I have waited for about 10 minutes before. I'll try again and see if it does actually boot. Does your hang on the bootloader unlocked screen or the boot animation screen?
EDIT: I tried another 4.3 rom and booted it up. Set some things up then updated su binaries and restarted and let it sit there at the unlocked bootloader warning for 15 minutes with no changes.

I did actually restore it back to completely stock, recovery and everything. I downloaded the OTA after rooting and using voodoo. The update failed but I installed cwm 6.0.3.6 and then restored my backup. Then I flashed twrp 2.0.6.1 to try that and flashed a 4.3 rom and same issue came up.

Yeah, mine hangs at the bl unlocked screen on that second boot, though I flashed a different logo to get rid of that annoying message 10 minutes seems a bit excessive but not unheard of-longest I clocked was around 8. Does yours ever make it to the boot animation? If so, it should go into a full boot eventually. I think the hang has something to do with the rom building cache on that second boot Also, whichever 4.3 your using, I would make sure it's a more recent release as they have come a very far since the early releases which hung for longer periods of time. I'm currently running pa rc2 by cj and it went smoothly using cwm 6.0.3.2.

It never reaches the boot animation just sits at that screen. I have tried several 4.3 roms within the last few days so they are the newest versions I can find. Could I clear the cache to get it to boot?

By golly that worked! It booted up fast as well. It must lie with the formatting your internal storage before flashing the 4.3 rom. I tried something similiar to this but I was already on a 4.3 rom that wouldn't boot and I formatted the sd card then tried flashing it again and it booted again for the first time but wouldn't the second. So if your having trouble do this:
Restored stock 4.1.2 using Matt's utility
Rooted with Matt's utility
Put 4.3 rom and GAPPS on external SD
Fastboot flash CWM 6.0.3.5 (or install via Matt's utility if you like)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Go to mounts/storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) **Back up anything in your internal SD you want to keep before doing this!**
Flash 4.3 rom
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Flash GAPPS
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Boot up and setup rom
Reboot

glad you got it fixed but i have to ask, in the sequence above why are you restoring a backup? you should be going right from stock to 4.3. also, some people have issues with twrp and 4.3, thats why i suggested cwm.

I'm not sure why I restored the backup. I didn't think coming from stock would work for some reason.

This was the only thing that worked for me. You could maybe try updating to the most current recovery instead of the one listed.

the only 2 issues i have seen to cause this problem are covered in the post a few below, and fixed it every time. my only suggestion would be to install cwm after rooting, then reboot, then continue with the steps. just my preference, it may not matter.

[Q] Change recovery-Rom

HI, i have been having isues with my asus tf101 baterry, about one month ago it suddenly charge and discharges, like: 10%-25%-40%-70%-80%-100%...I made a factory reset but nothing. 2 weeks ago, it solved alone, without do anything, and was ok for 2 weeks, now again i have the problem..
i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).
I have a asus tf101 b70 root, with CWM recovery is a old version 5.0.26 something..

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.

Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery

Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?

Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want

You dirty flashed it over CM11? You didn't wipe system, data, cache and dalvik? I always do that, even when I'm flashing an AOSP-based ROM over another AOSP-based ROM.
The only time I won't do this is if I'm flashing say CM11 over CM11.
If you dirty flashed, that might be your problem, but I don't know for sure as I don't use PacMan ROM.

I didn't dirty flash. Cm11 was on there before. I used philz wipe forfor new rom like I always do.
I can get into the fastboot menu. Is there something I can do there to reflash cm11?

Not sure then. I always use TWRP to wipe and flash. Could be an issue with the ROM itself or you got a bad download. You might want to try and download the ROM again to ensure it wasn't a bad download.

figured it out. must have had something happen to the recovery file.
in fast boot i flashed a new recovery image and was able to boot into recovery.

Maybe you have the JB bootloader and you flashed a KitKat bootloader based CM11 build... That could explain why your phone is not booting properly.
If nothing works you just can flash a STOCK FIRMWARE to begin again.

The phone has stock kitkat. How can I confirm?

That's a no-go. You won't be able to flash a KK-based ROM on a system with a JB Bootloader. The device will abort the installation immediately with a friendly reminder. At least the XT926. Been there, tried that.

^ agree. My atrix HD has a jbbl and I can Confirm this

Cyanogen Mod 6.0 for OPPO R7 PLUS

I apologize if this is posted, but we now have an official build of Marshmallow for our Oppo r7 Plus (F) Variant. link attachedhttp://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=r7plus

Excellent! I am going to test it right now and will report!!!!
Update: I was on ColorOS, flashed cm13 recovery and done factory reset, formatting cache is taking around 8 minutes, is that normal?
Flashing ARM64 opengapps for 6.0 end up with error: E:Installation error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 255) - seems like recovery problem as many people report this issue. I only dont know if TWRP will work with CM13 rom

Personally I'm using a 12.1 recovery at the moment. The 13.0 recovery is still WIP AFAIK.
Gesendet von meinem R7plusf mit Tapatalk

Ok, will try cm12.1 recovery, what about gapps? Which one to use? Btw I have done factory reset again, flashed cm13 rom only, phone rebooted and loading apps (total of 87 I think), then done reboot, then only showing blue android logo for very long time, like 10 minutes followed with another "starting apps" screen with 21 left or so, now another reboot with blue android logo. Is this normal for MM roms? Still not finished.
EDIT: after another 5 minutes same screen appears with saying starting android... 21 apps left, blue android logo when done - seems to be as bootloop as it is going nowhere from here.
CM13 rom flashed fine over TWRP, flashing gaaps now seems to be alright as well (open_gapps-arm64-6.0-mini-20151218).

Very exited, good job

so far I am getting the boot-loop also. will wait to here what Nexus5-32GB will post (if any success with the cyanogen recovery) before reverting back

Sadly "Androis is starting... Starting apps" is last message I can see, the soft reboot then followed wit this bootloop. Same when flashed with and without gapps from TWRP, cm12.1 and cm13 recoveries.
When doing factory reset in CM12.1 recovery I get this:
-- Wiping data...
Formating /data...
E:Failed to start /data/data/org.cyanogenmod.audiofx
Formating /cache...

Guy's I got it to boot up and install so far everything seems to work okay (Minus minor distortion when automatically switching to landscape, portrait and at start up) . I am going to post a picture if I can. I believe the issues arise when we try updating to Marshmallow from lollipop and we have made major modifications. (for example I had lolli viper and a host of other customization's). I had to do a factory reset wipe and format. I then installed a backup that was untouched bone dry cyanogen mod (no g apps yet). let that boot-up and rebooted into recovery. I then downloading the nightly form (today) the 18th from the website with the marshmallow G-apps. Pushed to my sd card, wiped cache and installed the nightly and installed the correct marshmallow G-apps (ARM 64 6.0) right away. After this,I rebooted phone (it will take a while; almost as long as it did when the first nightly for lollipop came out and we flashed from color OS). It's up and running on my phone. I also still have and used the twrp recovery.

Sadly "Androis is starting... Starting apps" is last message I can see, the soft reboot then followed wit this bootloop. Same when flashed with and without gapps from TWRP, cm12.1 and cm13 recoveries.
When doing factory reset in CM12.1 recovery I get this:
-- Wiping data...
Formating /data...
E:Failed to start /data/data/org.cyanogenmod.audiofx
Formating /cache...

Guy's I got it to boot up and install so far everything seems to work okay (Minus minor distortion when automatically switching to landscape, portrait and at start up) . I am going to post a picture if I can. I believe the issues arise when we try updating to Marshmallow from lollipop and we have made major modifications. (for example I had lolli viper and a host of other customization's). I had to do a factory reset wipe and format. I then installed a backup that was untouched bone dry cyanogen mod (no g apps yet). let that boot-up and rebooted into recovery.

going to give this a go, but I was doing factory reset and format as well, is that mean the factory reset doesnt work as it should? Flashing cm 12 rom first to be able to boot to cm13 rom later is very strange way when you think about it

indeed i agree 100%. I really think it boils down to if we have any customization. I had the same error (in regards to the audio FX) You should try installing a fresh clean cyanogen nightly without g-apps or any mods. Let it boot-up and try the steps i mentioned. do you have an audio customization or any that might have changed something (it shouldn't matter but I'm considering any and everything)? If this is the case the recovery might need tweaking as that would mean somehow or someway it doesn't allow us to properly wipe and format (another consideration). I really hope you and everybody else can also update. I'm trying to upload screenshots of my phone

I was on ColorOS while ago, went to TWRP and done manual wipe of Dalvik, System, Data and Cache. Installed latest cm12.1 rom without any gapps and let it boot up to home screen. Went back to TWRP and done same wipe as before. Installed cm13 without any gapps and this time I got little further than ussualy, I could see message "finishing boot" but again end up in bootloop as before. So no luck in my case...
About the error in TWRP: yes I was using viper4android before and it seems the TWRP recovery doesnt wipe the device right way - well actually not even CM recoveries can I think.

The events you listed I went through the same exact sequence. Keep trying it took for me; after a painstaking install experience of course. Also you're right Cyanogen recovery doesn't allow full wipe and install.

am not gonna mess with restarts and so on. What I just did was, I installed the cm12.1 and tried to run system update which downloaded the cm13 rom and flashed it in twrp ending with same bootloop. I dont really know how devs could make this working on their phones at all.

Well, I took my 12.1 installation without any wipe, went to CM recovery from 12.1, installed my (self compiled at that time) build + opengapps (it's important to install those before booting M for the first time), booted, done. I don't have any /system mods though.
I guess I'll try the nightly and see what happens there. Did anybody of you get a logcat of the failed boot attempts?

Just follow this quide with flashing twrp, only instead of twrp flash the stock recovery image. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63189590&postcount=5 Sorry, there is only boot command, you should type "fastboot flash recovery stock.recovery.img" - when "stock.recovery.img" is a filename of your stock recovery downloaded on your computer.
No need for wipe when installing recovery. I recon to install stock recovery and then install stock ColorOS from it, let it boot, install twrp later and do what you want then.

Looks like it's broken for everyone. I tried multiple recoverys, full wipes including /system and no joy. Guess we'll just have to wait!
