[Q] CM update aborting - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 would recommend re-flashing the CM10 ROM you installed so you can start with a clean slate. After you have reflashed the stock ROM then uninstall and reinstall the Samsung USB drivers, and see if your computer is then able to transfer files to your Phone. You can also use the Goo Manager App, to browse for, download, and install the correct version of Google Apps. What version of Google Apps did you install and from what source? Here is a link to the correct version of Google Apps for CM10 straight form the Cyanogenmod wiki. Let me know if you still have questions .
thank you.
Thank you for the detail and instruction, you would of had a laugh at the last answer I recieved. I'll give this a try here in a bit and let you now how it went, I'll have to look at the version of that gapps I tried when I get home, but I got it off a help post on the forums. Thank you again, I appreciate the help.

Did you do a full wipe when you installed the CM 10.1 ROM? Going from Cyanogenmod 10 to 10.1 you should do a full wipe, making sure to wipe both the data and cache Also the Google Apps I linked to in my previous post were meant for Cyanogenmod 10 not Cyanogenmod 10.1 the correct Google Apps for Cyanogenmod 10.1 can be found here. At this point I would recommend re-flashing the CM 10.1 ROM you downloaded and then flash the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Google Apps. If that doesn't work I would recommend taking a look at this video.
Wipe system also. That is where the rom is.

Even after re-flashing CM 10.1 your status bar is gone? I would recommend flashing the stock ROM and then reinstalling CM 10.1 after you have flashed the stock ROM.

Really? I did put CM10.2 on my phone, really like it. So I checked your recommendations on the phone. Yeah, just what you said, root adb and applications. My phone is enabled and I never lost root on it. You get a Thanks.
Now how to update to 10.2 on the Tab. CWM only lets you flash one zip at a time where Safe Strap will allow you to stack the rom and gapps. I got CWM Pro and don't see anyway to flash more than one zip at a time and this gave a system 7 error. The update is there in about phone, if I allow unstable and nightlies, but installing it dumps me into recovery. Safe Strap on phone, piece of cake. One zip at a time in ClockworkMod, not so easy. Any ideas?
Awesome. I went into CWM Rom Manager and decided to use TWRP instead of CWM, used the update in Settings/About Phone/Update. It did work! But everything is crashing, I had to install new gapps. So I went back and flashed the new gapps. Problem is, playstore is broke, errors everytime it tries to install or update, would not connect at all until new gapps. Wiped data, still not working right. Others had this problem, any ideas on how to restore playstore functionality? Thanks, you guys rock!
Found the answer here, and it works!
I tried everything form everywhere. Nothing worked until I did this. Following the steps below.
RPC:AEC:0 error is known as CPU/RAM/Device/Identity failure.
Only possible way you can follow to get rid off this error is,
Go to settings ? application ? Play Store ? Clear Data & Clear Cache.
Go to accounts ? Google ? Remove account.
Reboot device.

Apps seem to be reset after cyanogenmod 13 update

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.

I flashed the first CM13 nighly and I didn't have to do anything to get working apps. Everything has been restored without any issue.

Is This a Google Problem, or Something I Did?

I've been running Cyanogenmod 12.1 for a while now, updating to the new nightly versions as they come out. Recently I discovered that Cyanogenmod 13 is now rolling out, but I held off on updating for a bit.
The other night, I decided to give it a go, and it ended up causing my phone to get stuck trying to boot. So, I flash back to the last 12.1 nightly I had been using, installed the latest version of GApps for CM12.1 and went back to using my phone as normal. However, I quickly noticed a problem, but I'm not sure of the root cause...
Nearly all of my apps fail to work properly... They all keep force closing, and I can't update them or anything because every time I try to access the Google Play Store, an error pops saying that Google Play Services has stopped. Now, if you look at the Google Play Services page on the Google Play Store, you'll see a load of negative reviews from people all reporting the same problem. However, it just very suddenly started happening to me, so I'm not sure if I messed something up when I was going back to CM12.1 after CM13 failed to work for me.
Any ideas? I just did a clean install of the latest stable release of CM12.1 and the latest CM12.1 GApps, but it's still not working. I even updated to the newest version of TWRP, thinking that might help. At this point, my phone is useless... My texting app closes. My browser closes. My calendar, contacts, etc. don't work since they're linked to my Google account. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter don't work. NOTHING WORKS!
I'm considering flashing back to stock, but I really don't want to do that. I've finally gotten Nova Launcher configured how I want it (in terms of my home screens), and I don't want to have to redo all that tweaking. Especially if flashing back to stock doesn't fix the damn problem! I just finished making a backup in TWRP and copying it to my computer for safekeeping in the case that I do try to flash back to stock. That way, if it doesn't help, I can go back to where I'm at now at least.
So; any ideas? I don't know if it's Google, or something I did.
The first and easiest thing u could try is reinstalling those apps! Check http://www.apkmirror.com/ for that!

Which apps; the ones that keep crashing? I don't see how that's going to help...
Like I said, I can't do anything that's associated with Google at the moment. Initially I thought removing my Google account would help, as that's what an Internet search suggested would help. Now, since Google Play Services keeps crashing, I can't even add my Google account back onto my phone.

Yes u could at least give it a try! Uninstall the apps that keep crashing and reinstall them via their apks!
I just tried to flash back to stock, and it wouldn't work; the GPT.bin kept failing to flash. So, I had to go back to CM12.1 and I'm right back where I started; with Google Play Services not functioning.
This may sound stupid... but have you tried clearing the caches? /data/dalvik and /cache?
I'd suggest making sure you have mfastboot, extracting the stock 5.1 untouched files here and then running the script here. Make sure those lines are adjusted to reflect where you've extracted the stock files to. Ie. mfastboot flash partition C:/Android-SDK/Platform-tools/gpt.bin
What's the failure that's stopping it from flashing? If you can get past that I'd boot the stock firmware once, flash TWRP, clear /system and /data then flash the latest nightly and GApps then clear your caches before booting.
Here's an update.
After flashing back to CM12.1 I discovered that I was still having the same issue with Google Play Services, but my network also wasn't working. This was my own fault though; I forgot that since I tried restoring my phone to stock, I needed to apply the Network Fix that is floating around for the XT1033. Although, my phone is technically an XT1032; it just doesn't have a functional network unless it's using an XT1033 radio...
So, when I got home from work I applied that Network Fix, which got me my network back. However, my Google Play Services still refuses to work.
I've just tried to give another go at flashing back to stock Lollipop firmware, but it's still not working. Just like before, it keeps failing to flash the GPT.bin file, throwing me an error; see below.
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
I've never had this happen before. This time around, I even went into TWRP before starting the flash and used Advanced Wipe to clear the Dalviik Cache, Data, Cache and System, yet it still won't flash properly. Cyanogenmod flashes just fine, but I want to see if using stock firmware will fix my issues with Google Play and its services.
I have no idea what to do.
Well, my phone is officially KIA. I followed this guide to get it back to stock (none of the other guides would work), and once I went to reboot as part of Step 7, the phone shut off and won't come back on. I've tried plugging it in, holding the volume down and power button for as long as three minutes, holding the volume up and power buttons for just as long... it won't do anything. It's hard-bricked.

Yeah I could do that, but I would like to understand whats going wrong in present case, I have had flashed CM11 many times since past 4 yrs but never faced such an issue.
I even installed TWRP and SuperSU latest version and also Old versions, I tried installing old versions of apps, but phone keeps crashing! Wonder whats wrong?!
Is this a firmware issue?(Tried flashing firmwares too)
or Partitions gone bad?
I tried searching but couldnt find any resource on how to recreate partitions.
Can anyone help please?

Wait,what if you flash cm11? I mean you just wanna stay on KitKat,so why don't cm11?
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347767866
Clean flash this cm11 nightly+gapps you like.
Make sure you use latest twrp.
Same issue here. Happens not to all apps though. Just particular ones after updating certain apps. Not sure what happened. Only solution is to avoid installing those kind of apps.
