HI chaps, I read somewhere - must have been the OPO forum - that when CM11 sends an OS update and you install it, it wipes all the data and app on your phone. Is that true? If so, what's the way around? Does creating an account with CM help?
one of the older updates required that, but no, you do not have to wipe data when you update cm.

Right, so it was just the old one, or rather the first one?

Hi,
What does the [OP] say?
If he says you are recommended to wipe before you update,then,that is the best thing to do.
If you do a "Dirty flash" (without wiping) then, you run the risk of running into errors.
You cannot report these because it is a dirty flash.
So,no one will be able to help you with them.
The choice is yours...
update
understood. thanks
I got a Nexus 5 been using CM on it for a while now. Currently i have 11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8
the build date is july 8. I've been getting CM update for a new version for like a month now, tried installing it a couple of times, when i press to reboot and install it says it installed it, and after the phone reboots, it's still the same old version, and i keep getting the notification to upgrade, but i can't.
So I waited for another new build, thinking this is just some bug in the update. Yesterday a new version prompted for a update, but the same happened. So i tried to download the zip from CM website and flash it on recovery manually. And i got an error:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. (Status 7) installation aborted.
I used to update with no problems, but I seem to be stuck on the july 8 build.
Anyone else dealing with this, or know how to fix this?
Is your bootoader up-to-date? CM often require you to have latest bootloader
No. I haven't upgraded it. I've found multiple threats about it, I'm not sure which one is the right to do so. As i'm not really familiar with this kind of stuff.
EDIT: My BL version is HHZ11K. From what i gathered it's the most recent one.

Sounds like you're dirty flashing but something in your current set up has been corrupted. You may need to factory reset or do a clean install.

Was thinking if I can salve the problem without doing that. But i did a factory reset and it fixed the problem.
Thanks for the responses.
problems updating monthly snapshots of CM
Hi, I have been looking everywhere to see why I am having difficulties updating Cyanogen snapshots every month. I found this post but I don't really know if it pertains to my problem. I have a google rooted nexus 5 and every month when I try to update my phone begins acting up. It starts saying unfortunately google play services has stopped working. I see my apps trying to install but all I get are error notification icons at the top and they won't download. I posted on g+ and someone says it has to do with titanium. Im at a loss. Its very frustrating as I've tried almost everything I can think of to no avail. I try to go to the playstore and it's like I have no connection. I do have and use titanium backup for the apps I want to restore. I spoke to someone that has the same phone and he tells me to just flash the update without wiping but it doesn't work for me. I don't know if its a setting I'm missing on titanium or what it is but it sucks. With the 2 last updates this has happened. Leaving me with no option but to download the CM snapshot along with gapps. Wipe my phone and flash both the snapshot and gapps and start from scratch. I hope you can help me. Hopefully I'm in the right place. Tx you

So here is what i would try to do. reboot into recovery. do a factory reset, make sure you backup your files as this cleans them. And then make the update from the updater or download it manually from cm website.

Almost what I did, i l always do a nandroid backup before flashing anything in recovery, I downloaded the snapshot and the gapps, wiped, and installed snapshots along with gapps. So your telling me to just do a backup in recovery before updating that it cleans my files, then without wiping to try to update just the CM update from either my phone or their website? No gapps? Will try next time thanks.
I flashed cyanogenmod 13 and gapps for marshmallow (from 6.12.2015) and it boots fine. All apps are installed, as before the update.
BUT
When I start any of these apps they seem to be reset to default as if they are newly installed. For example Threema starts setup process after start.
App data is still present on internal storage (did not wipe), but apps do not seem to have access to any of this data.
Can anyone help what I can try to get the apps back to work with previous data?
Thankful for any help!

At first, try flashing CM13 after a full wipe or try using another rom since CM13 could be buggy.

Thanks for the reply! But well, the phone is working, just the apps are behaving as if they are newly installed ... So a full wipe would not really help as is only deletes more data. The question is why do the apps "think" they are not already set up?

Full ACK, but data is still available on the internal storage, but the apps do not notice this?
AND this one here (not allowed ot post links... so a missing w at the beginning ww.cyanogenmod.org/blog/a-marshmallowy-cm) says dirty flash from 12.1 to 13 is okay and if the cyanogenmod updater shows cm13 as availabe for update ...
EDIT: Maybe this was a missing info, but it was "just" a normal update via cyanogenmod updater, not a real flash of a new rom!

What do you want me to say? It's always better to full wipe when upgrading to a new Android version. Period.
Moreover, CM13 nightlies are buggy. There are important bugs and fixes everyday. Make a nandroid backup and try from scratch or try another nightly or another custom rom. There's nothing else to say IMO.

Just thought it could be possibly just a permission problem, a missing symlink or anything else that could be fixed manually.

Hi Guys,
I had recently updated my Oneplus One to 5.0.2 through OTA system updates. Now I wanted to update the same to 5.1.1 (i.e OS 12.1). But the problem is that I am not able to see the system updates anymore. It says the System is up to date whereas it's not the case in reality. It also asks to update cyanogen recovery, which I ignore. Attaching the snapshots of device for your reference.
The device is NOT rooted. I tried switch OFF and Switch ON multiple times. I also manually force stopped the System Update app, cleared it's cache, disabled it then enabled it. tried all combinations for the same. But no luck.
Can someone please advice what should I do to see the system updates as usual the way I was seeing earlier? Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot for this information. In that thread, its mentioned that "there are two different versions of some OTA updates." In such a case can I go ahead and install any of the zip file? I will be downloading the incremental updates which are similar to System updates. Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I actually have that app and it shows me the new update for 5.1.1 too. But the issue is when I first tried to update thru this app from kitkat to 05Q update, it somehow messed up my device. The zip installed was somehow corrupt due to which the installation had issues. Thats why I am actually worried to take that risk again.
That screwed up installation thru that app was the reason why I switched to OTA system updates which updated from 05Q to 5.0.2 lollypop. And now I cant see cyanogen system updates as it seem to have died.
Are you sure that app has no issues at all? Have you updated till 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 using that app? Please let me know.

Why not just get the cos13.1.2 signed zip, flash it and factory reset. I have the file and i can upload it in a couple minute to my gdrive.

Thanks a lot for your help man. But flashing and factory reset will wipe the mobile data I guess. I don't really want to do that. I need to keep the mobile data intact. Also, will it be advisable to jump from 5.0.2 to 6.0 directly? Or should I go incrementally only?

I can also see the full update option. But if I do full update directly, will it wipe all data from my device? I am not sure about it. Can you confirm whether your data was wiped when you updated from Kitkat to the latest marshmallow thru this App? That would help me decide. Or if anyone else can confirm the same, that would also help.

I did that as well, and it still asked for a password.

Got it working. You have to WIPE the usual partitions then you have to go back and click FORMAT DATA then flash the ROM and Magisk.

It's mostly okay. A few settings prompt an error message but they aren't essential ones. I contacted the maintainer though and he said he'll be keeping it up to date for as long as he has the phone.
