[Q] I want to install a CM11 Nightly, but the flash always fails. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed ROMs a few times before on a couple different devices, but I have a couple questions.
1. When I try to flash a OnePlus One CM11 Nightly through TWRP, it always says "Failed". Is there some simple thing that I am forgetting to do?
2. Will it erase anything that is currently on my phone by flashing a nightly? (I don't care if I have to re-root, but I don't want it to erase anything)
Thanks!

It won't erase anything from your virtual sd card. Of course you should wipe system/data/cache/dalvik cache when installing a ROM. Did you check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it? What's the full filename of the ROM zip?

How to see if i have a locked bootloader?

Okay, thanks. And what is the point of wiping the system/data if it is essentially the same ROM?

Because it isn't the same ROM. CM11S and CM11 are similar but not identical.

If you don't wipe your device it will fail on installing the zip. I am using TWRP and it failed no matter what unless I wiped first. You do not have to wipe you "sdcard" but you will lose your apps. I tried doing a data restore through TWRP and no matter what it would just hang on boot after. I ended up doing a backup through titanium backup and then restored after and it brought pretty much everything over including game data.
There might be a way around this in CWM, but I can say with some confidence there is not using TWRP. It's kind of a bad idea not to do a wipe before flashing a different rom anyways.

He may not know if he was successful in unlocking it.
And that makes sense about them being different. I just wish there was a way around it. They are more similar than the next OTA probably.
I wish I could just do a NANDROID backup and try it, but oh well.

I can just flash 66 as is? Don't have to flash a stock unrooted version first like you do when you brick?
Do you have any idea why this could have happened? I did everything it said on the page and even watched an installation video for the ROM following every step by step instruction. What the hell does formatting system, data, and cache do in recovery? Never had done it before and as soon as I did my phone just messed up. Also, if I flash 66 using odin will my old backups work again?

I'm guessing there was a bad download and sadly your nandroid might have been corrupted.

Cool thanks. Flashing 66 now through odin. My backups have worked fine before (the exact same ones that just failed). Once this is finished and I test out my backups (assuming they work) how should I go about reflashing JellyWiz? Should I format the system, data, cache again or just do the normal wipes? I'm afraid formatting will mess it up again. Is CWM inferior to TWRP? Thinking about using a different recovery after all of this.

I personally use cwm and to me it's more a matter of preference. I too have had a error restoring backups once and it was after a system wipe. A word of advice, because this saved me, keep a ROM on your SD card at all times to be able to just flash in an emergency.

I think you missed my point, at this point he needs Odin. However, if you keep a zip on your SD card then if your backups gasp like his situation he can just fish that zip. It was simply some advice for future reference, were not all next to a computer ask the time. For people like me that just get an urge to flash it helps to have backups like this.

in order to flash jellywiz i had to do the following or else i bootlooped:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
format system
flash rom
booted up flawless.
i also used this methid for paranoid android...i will probably update my guide with this. unfortunately i cant give any info on what formatting system is actually doing. never had to do this before??

I don't know why they are suggesting it but it doesn't do anything beyond the normal factory reset and then the zip formatting system itself.
Its just the manual way of doing what a clean flash does.
Why are people having issues restoring nandroids after doing this? Apparently bootlooping occurs after format/jb install/restore previous nandroid.

if im not mistaken formatting the system deletes the rom/kernel itself...normal factory reset from cwm recovery only deletes rom data/cache.

i wonder why i had to format system to get the latest jellywiz rom to not hang on galaxy s splash screen? it makes no sense.
Also, how does a format not erase your nandroids? It should also wipe titanium backups if they are not on your external. Am I wrong on that? Could formatting lose certain bits of info that the nandroid may not have partitioned, and that's why the restores are not working correctly?

Trying to install CM10 with TWRP

I have an att htc one x that has 4.01 and 2.20 software. I was able to successfully root the phone and now I'm trying to install CM10 but it's failing when trying to install.
It says it missing a MD5 File and says theres an error in the SD card/download/ the cm 10 file.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you
Make sure the Rom is for our phone and check the md5 sum it might be a bad download
I've tried redownloading the file several times and I'm still getting the same error message.
I'm downloading CM10 from here http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru

If you flashed an international rom, there's a good possibility you messed something up. Factory reset, wipe /system, and try flashing the correct CM10 rom again.
Ok. I'm trying to do a factory reset from bootloader but whenever I do, it goes to the CM10 boot screen where I was earlier. How can I do a factory reset?

Don't do it from bootloader, it can corrupt your sdcard. Do it from recovery.
Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and system. Then install the CORRECT rom.

I was able to get back into TWRP. There I tried to do a factory reset but it tells me it failed. And after installing CM10, do I have to go back into bootloader and flash boot.img from the CM10 nightly zip file?
And there goes my stock rom... Factory reset is not working on TWRP and tried system reset thinking it would get rid of CM10 but instead erased my stock rom.
Please help, need a working phone soon..

There are stickies and tuts around here for this.. but, the reason why it's not working for you is you didn't flash the boot.img first. before you installed the .zip. Also, you'll need the latest gapps for that ROM as well.
Not familiar with the forums around here, so if you could link me some of these stickies or tutorial it would be great.

Corrupted userdata partition

Basically, my userdata partition keeps getting corrupted every couple of flashes. I have to factory flash to get everything working again. It just started happening recently(A few hours ago). What is going on? Thanks!
While flashing the stock images make sure you have also Erased cache partition and formatted it using stock recovery.. I was exactly in the same spot as you were few weeks ago and a cache partition format solved it completely!

You're the only one saying such things. If there was a problem with the ROM we would have heard it from others and the team would see the same issues.
The ROM ships with stock Google kernel. The ROM doesn't do anything in itself that could corrupt your userdata

I've come to the conclusion, after 4(!) factory images, that the ROM DEFINITELY corrupts the recovery. I have a 100% success(failure?) rate when flashing PA. Clean md5, after first boot the ROM functions properly, but recovery fails to mount the userdata partition, every time. Flash a new recovery, or adb shell and attempt to repair don't work. I understand that it doesn't make sense, but it's obviously something that's happening with the ROM. After 4 factory images, the only other factors are the recovery(PhilZ, TWRP, AND CWM all fail) being borked from the start, or the ROM. It's obviously not the recovery(all 3 have clean md5s, are transferred with adb push, and function perfectly otherwise).....
Again, in the ROM I can r/w to the /data, so the partition is fine, but the ROM borks the recovery.
But there is nothing in the ROM that would cause that. Are you restoring anything from previous versions? Are you installing an app that does this?

Don't use OTA updates. Just manually flash a rooted stock ROM via TWRP.
Click the link in my signature and go to the "resources" section. You'll find a full rooted, PURE STOCK 4.4.4 rom there.
Copy it to your /sdcard, take a FULL nandroid backup then flash the ROM.

if the dirty flash is successful, you wont lose a thing, except time. if you have to go back and wipe, you will lose your data. so, make a backup in recovery first, before the dirty flash.

I think I still have MultiRom boot.img

So I have used MultiRom for a while. It was cool to mess with, but in practice it wasn't something I used often. I used the uninstall option to delete it from my device.
But I have noticed, that my battery charging icon is different from the default. I think this is still the MultiRom boot.IMG.
Also sometimes the led splashes green, also a feature of MultiRom to know when it is listening for a keystroke.
Can I somehow see what boot IMG this is, and should I change it to the original OPO one?
Thanks,

Your battery icon has nothing to do with the kernel, so that isn't it. You probably didn't wipe properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) when you flashed last or there are some remnants of Multirom left over. Your best option is to first use TWRP to wipe your data partition, and then to flash the stock images with fastboot. Once you've done this just flash whatever ROM you want (wipe properly first).

You probably didn't wipe properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) when you flashed last or there are some remnants of Multirom left over. Your best option is to first use TWRP to wipe your data partition, and then to flash the stock images with fastboot. Once you've done this just flash whatever ROM you want (wipe properly first).

I meant the charging animation outside the rom. Normally its a big battery with red/green filling, but for me its just a small white battery now.
But for the rest I could test out to flash the factory images. But, first I have to get my adb/fastboot drivers working again *sigh*

Ok, probably should have specified that in the OP. Flashing the stock images is your best bet, so get those drivers sorted out (or use a Linux machine, no drivers required) and you should be able to fix it.

That's a good idea. My Elementary dualboot can help me
I knew it was handy to have that...

Can I just search for a OnePlus One boot.img and flash it? I thought it changed during upgrade to lollipop, and I would like to keep my rom if possible
If not so, did someone provide a oneplus one lollipop boot.img, and will it just work with my (allready flashed ofcourse) CyanogenMod nightlies?

You need to flash tire appropriate boot.img, you can just extract it from the ROM zip.

Which ROM zip? The Cyanogen 12S one? And can I use flashify to make things easier?

Aren't you on a nightly? You need to flash the appropriate boot.img for the ROM you're currently on.

Is it included in those zips? Why is it in there and isn't it automatically flashed when installing it?

Yes, it is included in those zips, and it is flashed automatically when you flash the ROM. The boot.img is the kernel, without flashing the kernel the phone wouldn't even boot. This is why I've been telling you that I don't think it's the boot.img that's causing your problem, and why I suggested you flash the stock images with fastboot. I say these things for a reason.

What controls the outside-rom charging animation then? Or did TWRP or the Nightlies change it?
Edit: After some searching I found out it's part of the bootloader. Something I've never messed with!
