Since installing cm11 I've been unable to update the CDMA profile. The usual fix (flash stock ROM, update, restore CM) isn't working because I can't get a stock ROM flashed. It always fails to flash in recovery.
Is there any way to get a stock ROM working after upgrading to CM11, or updating profile (not just PRL) without a stock ROM.
I see there are tutorials for changing the PRL but in my case it's the profile that needs updating.

Flash back to stock using RSD Lite.
You should get ALL of your CDMA provisioning tasks done before flashing CM.
:good: I finally got it working by using TWRP to "restore" the Stock ROM dumps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295643

Absolutely! Unfortunately my carrier told me after I flashed CM, that they hadn't provisioned me correctly and have to reprovision.

I manually updated my dad's phone to ics with the ota file. He has the tmobile version and it's not rooted or anything. So i booted into recovery and installed the ota file. It installed just fine but now he has no service at all. We placed the sim card in another phone and it works just fine so its the phone itself. When we go into the network operators menu it gives us this "error while searching for network"

Update:I reverted back to gingerbread and i still couldn't get any service.
Does this mean i have to flash a new radio or kernal?

Try the stock OTA. It usually comes with an associated radio.img for your phone model.

actually i had same problem yesterday.followed the stock rom advice and it worked properly.
as long as i have rom manager.4.8.3 i did a rom backup before installing ics update.
i lost the service in ics and then tried to restore the rom 2.3.6, same "error while searching for network".
all i did now is flashing again cwm 5.0.2. i downloaded nexus s stock rom 2.3.3 from rom manager too.
i flashed the rom and everything went back to normal.
thanks for the advice.
Hi everyone!
I'm the owner of a Moto G 8GB retail.DE xt1032. And i can't install custom Roms.
The phone shipped with good ol' 4.3, and then I flashed the retail.DE 4.4.2 OTA as soon as it came out. But I got tired so I, unlocked bootloader, installed CWM and installed a custom ROM (at the time, CM11, wich I loved).
Then I tried to change the bootanimation (I know, such a lame thing to do) and i wasn't able to boot a custom ROM anymore, even stock based (infusion).
I tried every rom available (cm11, PA, Carbon, AOSP/CodeAurora, Nexus G), and it ALWAYS hangs on bootanimation forever.
If I remember correctly, I had to downgrade to 4.3 Bootloader at that time to install CMW, but since I've had this problem I already reverted to Retail.DE Stock and upgraded via OTA to stock 4.4.2 (so bootloader should have been upgraded to 4.4 too...?).
I still have the 4.3 bootloader .img file on my computer, so should I flash it and try again?
Same here man. We need help!

The latest version of CWM supports 4.4 bootloader.
I was having similar problem, and returning back to full stock and redoing everything solved the problem. As you are already back to stock, I suggest you give it another shot. Good luck...

I followed this mans suggestion and it worked for me. I was stuck on nexus g.
I've done it yesterday at least 2 times, with the same result.
I'm really confused, because it shows no error while installing the rom, and it even shows the rom specific bootanimation (which means files were actually copied to /system).
EDIT: just did the whole process again. Return to stock 4.3, update to 4.4.2 via OTA, flash CWM, flash rom (in this case Infusion 4.4.2 Beta (stock 4.4.2 based)) and here i am, stuck @ bootanimation for solid 10minutes.

That's very strange. How did you return to stock? This method worked for me...

if i try to flash stock using the downloaded firmware without changing a thing, i end up getting this error message in fastboot:

what I usually do is delete a few lines in the flashall.bat file:

Hi guys! I just had got the Photon Q today and successfully got it rooted and successfully got a custom recovery installed on it. The problem is with EVERY ROM i've tried flash, it fails to install properly and aborts the installation. I've tried on both CWM and TWRP, but the result is the same and wont install. Does this have to do with the fact that the ROMs got unified for the multiple Motorola devices? I'm about to try older nightly builds i've found, just so I can have my phone on KitKat. Anyone have any ideas why every ROM is failing to install??
Well, CWM might fail if you are using an older version... However, the latest TWRP should work fine.
What's the error message? Are yo using the latest version?

Yup, i'm using the latest version, 2.7. Anyway, I got it figured out and realized it was my SD card, so I just flashed the ROMs from internal storage instead and it worked fine.
But now i'm having a new problem. Now i'm not getting any service and wifi wont come on. I've flashed custom roms on other phones before and i've never had this problem. It's like this on Carbon, Mokee, and now Cyanogen. I'm gonna keep browsing the forum for some ideas, do you have any idea by any chance?

This sounds like a result of deleted or formatted /persist partition.
Have you done it? Do you have a backup?

Yup, I had a back up, but it failed to restore. I had to go back to stock because I couldn't figure out how to get back my service and wifi for the life of me. I still want to use Carbon, but i'm afraid it'll just go back to no service and no wifi again. Good thing about the stock rom, it seems to update your network profile and PRL for you.

You must be on the stock ROM to update the PRL. Make sure everything works & is updated before flashing a custom ROM.

Is that from flashing PAC...? I don't see anything there from being flashed.
I assume the ROM boots fine if you say data and service are working. I mean logs from Android, like logcat and dmesg.

Yeah that was after flashing PAC ROM. I was finally able to do a good wipe of everything and finally got PAC running smoothly. The newest TWRP 2.7.0.1 wont let me do a good wipe, so I had to use 2.3.3.1 to do the wipe. Those versions wouldnt flash the ROMs properly and would fail, so I installed the newest TWRP 2.7.0.1 (again) and now all the ROMs i've flashed work great.

I read your other post, that is odd. Not sure why you would have to revert to an older version of TWRP... Actually I'm a bit behind, I'm still on 2.6.3.1 I think. Not sure upgrading my phone would be a good test, since you proved moving from an older to newer version works...
Hmmm. I might just RSD Lite back to stock to see if I can recreate this.
Hello guys,
I installed CM11 a while ago on my Nexus 5. I had no trouble installing it through Cyanogenmods own installer, but now i want to install
the official rom again, so android 4.4.4 Kitkat. But when I want to flash it through TWRP i get the error that there is no MD5 file found.
I got the rom from the official site from Google.
I want to install the clean version of android again because i have some trouble with my battery and want to try if its still a problem with original software
installed.
So can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

When you after trouble shooting a battery issue you should wipe your phone and flash the stock image. Do not trouble shoot a battery issue with a custom ROM. Period. There are too many factors involved. And bugs can arise that won't be in a stock image.
I do want to flash to my stock image, but sadly i didnt backup so i want to manually install stock android kitkat.

You don't have to wipe internal. Just Data and Cache. Go fastboot a stock image. If you aren't backing up Your Apps and you aren't clean flashing ROMs, that's why you are having so many issues. Never dirty flash a ROM unless your ROM Dev says otherwise.
Okay, but im pretty sure I wiped everything trying to install stock android. Atleast i got the message when i wanted to reboot that there was no OS installed..
So if its still possible to fastboot to my stock image can you tell me how to? I've now restored my phone to CM11, which was the last ROM i had installed, so i still can use my phone but its not the stock
image.

The instructions to flash a factory image are on the same page you download the image from. You need to flash it with fastboot, not recovery.
Okay i flashed it back to the stock os but still problems with my battery so i think its broken..

I've searched but can not find. I'm on lolipop stock rooted but can't flash CM12. I tried flashing bootstack 30b but that didn't work.
Edit:
Never mind, forgot I have to flash 4.4 then flash cm12

How do you do this? I keep getting an error. Can you flash 4.4 and then cm12 or do you have to setup the 4.4 first?
Flash the 20G bootstack, reboot back into recovery and then flash ROM.
Nvm you got it. Didn't see the edit.
Can someone here just recap the steps needed to installing cm12 from stock lollipop. There isn't a guide anywhere and I'd rather not try it based on snippets I've read here and there

Do you have 12.1 up and running on yours without issues? Whenever mine connects to LTE it reboots. Curious to see if this is an issue that others are experiencing.

Hey guys I figured it out. I had flashed the 20G bootstack and had the same issue - reboot every time connected to LTE. Not only on this ROM but every AOSP 12.1 ROM. Switching to the 30b bootstack solved the issue for me.
