[Q] Wanna check Gapps and Paranoid Android versions match - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I put my nexus 4 in an unrecoverable boot loop last week, couldn't get into bootloader OR recovery, I rooted and put Paranoid Android rom on it last month, been using it no problem until last week, wanted to install latest rom for the extra Halo features, so I factory rest phone and tried to flash it, kept failing, so I formatted partitions on phone, and tried again, flashed with latest PA rom and latest Gapps, then got the boot loop which I couldn't do anything with
getting a replacement from google this week, and want to root and rom it again, but want to double check the version I was flashing will work with each other so as not to boot loop it again
I flashed pa_grouper-3.57-06JUN2013-193501.zip and then flashed pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed.zip
Im assuming these are OK but wanted to double check just incase I should have used a different version of Gapps with this rom, as I said I flashed it a few weeks before with an earlier paranoid android rom version and Gapps version and all was fine for a few weeks until I tried to update it all

LMFAO
You're flashing grouper on a Nexus 4????
That's the Nexus 7, mako is nexus 4

CyanogenMod 10 Flashing a 4.0.3 ROM

I've been using CyanogenMod 10 for a couple weeks now, still having some issues. One being not having LTE... I saw h8rift said to flash a 4.0.3 ROM before CM but don't see where I can find one to flash. If someone could guide me in the right direction I would appreciate it!

its not needed anymore. You can flash straight to nightly and lte should work
Yup, with latest nightly you shouldn't need to. I've tested flashing 4.0.4 -> CM10 myself and LTE worked ok. Make sure to do full wipe.
Doh! I need to remove that from my FAQs.

[Q] ICS to Jellybean

Im trying to update my TF300T to a jellybean rom and im a bit confused. im currently an AOSP ICS rom from when i first rooted this tablet but since i havent messed with it since them im a bit lost. i updated TWRP to the latest ics one and i tried installing Paranoid android and it just bootlooped. Luckily i backuped my rom. So can anyone point me in the right direction please? any help would be appreciated
First of all, since you're apparently both unlocked and still on the ICS bootloader, take some time to go through the NVFlash process here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894867
That will come in handy if you accidentally flash the wrong recovery later on (or do anything else that could brick your tablet). I'm sure you've seen the many "I bricked my TF300T" threads, so do yourself a favor, and do the NVFlash backup.
Now, once you've gotten the NVFlash out of the way (it's extremely important that you do the NVFlash backups first, because you can't go back and do them later), we can upgrade you to Jellybean. The easiest way, IMO, is to boot your tablet into fastboot, and flash the stock ASUS firmware (specifically, the first version of 10.x) that way. If you search the forum for "fastboot stock firmware", you should find at least a couple good guides on how to do that.
Once you're on the stock firmware, you can just update via the OTA method. Download the firmware you need (I suggest doing this incrementally, so get each individual update), unzip it, and put the resulting zip file on the root of either your external SD card or the internal storage (doesn't matter). If the tablet doesn't notify you of an update, just reboot. When you get the update notification, accept it, and it'll flash like a normal OTA. Just do this until you're up to date.
Keep in mind, if you go up to the 10.6.x.x firmware (Android 4.2), your only AOSP option will be a mostly-but-not-completely functional CM10.1. So, you may want to stay on the newest 4.1 firmware (10.4.2.20, I believe) until all the issues are ironed out.

Almost every AOSP ROM, including the official CM10.1, requires the 4.1 bootloader. They are stable. The CM for the 4.2 bootloader is in testing stages still, but I believe that the only thing that's broken now is the camera. Regardless, stick to the 4.1 OTA for now if you want a wide selection of AOSP ROMs.

It wouldn't hurt. Also make sure you're using the newest version of fastboot.

RLS 16 to [Rom][d2vzw][Official][Kitkat - 4.4.2] - Gummy - Nightly's

I'm currently running Hyperdrive RLS 16 and want to know if it is possible to go to [Rom][d2vzw][Official][Kitkat - 4.4.2] - Gummy - Nightly's?
Do I just need to follow the instructions or is there more files I need to change within the phone? Basically, I want to know if it will be a simple transition.
Thank You!
:crying:
You should be just fine. Just install like any other ROMs. Don't forget to wipe Data. Make sure you update your recovery to the latest version first BEFORE FLASHING since gummy is Kitkat. This is very important.

I'm mistaken...badly. You need to be on TWRP 2.6.3.1 in order to flash any KitKat rom. That's what I'm on. KitKat roms will not flash on anything before TWRP 2.6.3.1.

Funny I had the same question..
I was going to pose the same question.. Ironically I'm on Hyperdrive RLS 16 also and am either going to the last carbon nightly or maybe something 4.4 ?
My question was do I need to flash the MF1 firmware, but I guess not ?
I loved carbon when I used it before ( last was v 1.7 stable ) but had to flash to stock/TW base to flash my phone to PagePlus and TW is waaaay to clunky for me I can't stand it anymore !!
Edit: Would the new PhilZ work for a KitKat rom ? the new official one ?

You do need the VRBMF1 firmware installed. You do not need the VRUCML1 firmware installed. PhilZ recovery should work, idk firsthand cuz I use TWRP.

Clean flashing is recommended if you don't want to have any issues.
But you're free to dirty flash over an existing nightly if you don't want to clean flash. However, any issues you get are your own issues and should not be reported in the Gummy thread.

That kind of sucks. I'll probably just stick with the most current nightly till they come out with an official one.

Help backing up, rooting, installing custom ROM, and gapps.

Hi guys,
I recently purchased the Google Nexus 5. I had it rooted and a custom ROM installed for like $35 by oneclickroot. However, I ordered a tempered glass screen protector for it and when I peeled off the plastic they use for shipping the phone the phone had tiny little chips in the screen. Therefore, I contacted Google for a replacement. I now have the replacement and I would like to backup the stock image, apps, settings, etc. Then, root the phone, and install a custom ROM and gapps. When trying to return my damaged Nexus 5 to stock for sending it back I stumbled on the Nexus Root Toolkit which I used to flash the stock image back, and lock the bootloader again. Therefore, I will be using the Nexus Root Toolkit for the actual rooting process. Could you guys tell me what I would need to backup my stock ROM? Will using the backup button in the Nexus Root Toolkit backup my ROM, apps, and settings? If I was using a custom ROM and was rooted and restored the backup would it unroot my phone and put it all the way back to stock? I would like to flash Cyanogen Mod again. I have downloaded the hammerhead nightly build of Cyano Mod. Could someone tell where to get the proper apps version? I am confused on the whole gapps thing. For gapps is there one specific one I should be using for my phone, or will I need a different gapps version depending on the custom ROM?
Thanks,
Rocky
Don't know,I don't use tools kits. But I'd make a nandroid in a custom recovery then copy pics, music,etc to my pc. Don't backup your efs in the nandroid though

Lets just talk about a basic AOSP / CM rom. As long as you have the latest gapps package for the version of android you are on, you're fine. You'd use the same one whether you're on AOSP, CM, Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 etc etc,,, as long as its the version for Android 4.4.2
Some ROMs such as Paranoid Andrid and SlimKat may have their own gapps packages. The norml gapps will work, but the special ones for slimkat my have more features for that rom built in,

Gapps will always be the same if the rom requires gapps. There are a few different gapps packages out there which contain everything from a minimum, banks comes to mind, to a full gapps package. But they are not rom specific

Thanks again fellas. I am looking up gapps now. I have 4.4.2 on my phone now. I have found a few different version and newer and older releases of gapps. For example goo.im gapps has this one gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip and on the paranoid android website it has this one as the latest one pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140531-signed.zip. So if I want to install anything other than Paranoid Android I could use the first gapps I linked too and if I want to use Paranoid Android I should use the second I linked too from there page? I am almost positive when oneclickroot flashed my phone they used the first one but they flashed Carbon. Can I make nandroid backups without rooting? I want to make a backup that will take me completely back to stock for warranty purposes in case I ever have to return the phone like I did my first one. Therefore, if root is needed that won't work because it would be backing up the rooted stock.
You paid $35 for a custom rom? I've got some magic beans you can have for £100
You can use paranoid android gapps on any ROM. There is nothing specific. Read the gapps thread here on xda to find out which package includes which apps

Yeah its a lesson learned. I had actually rooted my moms ZTE Merit a while back but I though things would of changed by now. I just didn't want to mess up the phone and there was things I didn't know at the time I paid for the rooting. However, I went through the steps to root my new phone yesterday and it was successful and I also got CyanogenMod successfully installed with gapps. I can't believe how damn easy it was. Makes me wish I had my $35 back! Oh well lesson learned I guess.
If I want to return the custom ROM back to a fresh state like you can do with the stock ROM can I just use the backup/reset feature and do a factory reset? I did that yesterday and the phone seams to be okay.
Yes

A factory reset doesn't touch the system partition, it only erases the data partition, so any changes made to the system (i.e. root) will persist after a factory reset.

Always a good idea to update your recovery to the latest.
Root is IN the rom. I pretty much guarantee that any rom you flash via recovery will be pre-rooted.
If you're unsure of the processes for anything, have a read of all the sticky threads linked in my signature

Project Status: No Longer Updated
As I mentioned before, I have a lot of new important projects in my real life. I am very happy to abandon this project for real life alternatives.
CWM is a dead project for now, until some dev resurrects it. I was about to do, until these new projects came.
Current version will probably work a while for many devices. Some devices with new ROM installers could have issues. Just use TWRP or the CM Simple Recovery
If the current version works for you, there is no reason you don't use it though. No need to ***** in all threads because it doesn't work for you. Just move on to other alternatives.

but I see that it has been updated 2 days ago...
Philz is good and it works for now. I too had issues with TWRP on my S3, That's why I moved to Philz on that device and brought Philz to the N5.
We may see bug fixes with Philz if the device maintainers notice them. For example, the update 2 days ago was a bug I found and fixed. So if there is something broken, we may see fixes. New features - nope. So lets see what happens when L comes out with its default device encryption. I'm not jumping ship until I have to.

well, most recoveries arent going to be in a flash in recovery form. if its in a zip, you might have to extract it and use fastboot to flash the actual twrprecovery.img or you can use the flashify app(if you have root).

no, its 2.8 http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
anyways, im using an old one as well(2.6.something), and everything works fine.
rom and gapps. most roms will need the google apps to be flashed as well, since its illegal to include them in publically distributed custom roms.
the only reason why i havent flash a new rom again because the rom that im currently running is good doesnt really give problems like random reboots
the only thing is its an older version.
and its really tiring thing to start all over again.
anyways any good rom out there?
its close to stock rom with minor tweaks
im on purity rom btw 4.4.2
