Hey guys, just looking for some help with this. For the record, I was using TWRP 2.8. Last night I tried to install NuSenseSIX from the development forum, only to have this error: set_perm: some changes failed. Thinking it was just a problem with the download, I downloaded a second copy, checked the MD5 (which was the same), flashed it, same error. I then tried flashing DigitalHigh's GPE Rom, but the same error had came up. I RUU'd the phone back to stock (credit for the RUU goes to dottat), installed TWRP, flashed:failed. Flashed CWM, Rom flash:failed (every Rom I mentioned before failed to flash). Everything had the same error, although CWM reported it as Error 7. The only Rom that installs successfully and boots is CM11, I have no clue as to why. I'm stuck, I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Only the CM11 M10 Snapshot will flash, I just tried to flash the latest nightly (10/5/14) and it gave me "assert failed: run program("/system/bin/makelinks.sh") == 0"

Try doing another ruu. Then boot to hboot and chose factory reset. Make sure you do not flash twrp before doing the factory reset.

Hey dottat! Sorry I forgot to give you credit for the ruu. I'll give that a shot after work tomorrow. Thanks for the reply. By the way, what does flashing TWRP before doing the factory reset do? I flashed mine without even doing that.

Factory reset using stock recovery can fix things twrp sometimes can't.

Alright, thanks. As I said, I'll try it tomorrow. I'll report back with new info.
By the way, what's the difference between the old ruu you made and the new one? I flashed the old one and I want to know if that might be why it didn't fix my issue.
Well... same issue after doing what you said. I'm honestly really sad right now.

ok, so I rooted my epic 4g touch (EL29) and installed CWM(rogue), then I flashed Calkulin's 2.8.1 ROM and everything went smooth. I tried updating to 2.9 and 2.9.1 and I got "installation aborted" for some reason. I did wipe cache and dalvik-cache and still got "installation aborted". I tried flashing the gunslinger kernel v1.4.1, nothing but honey theme and got the same result "installation aborted", basically if I try flashing anything I'm not successful. sorry for the novel, but trying to put out as much detail as possible.. can someone help with this issue? BTW I restored back to EL29 and rooted again and still same issue.. No issues with flashing Calkulin's 2.8.1 though which is what I'm currently on right now... thanks in advance!!

Hi, I'm trying to update my HBoot to 2.13 or 2.15 so I can install the nightly CM11 builds. However, I'm not certain on the steps, so am hoping someone can clear things up for me.
This is the guide I've been looking at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501542
At the top he says to find the correct RUU, then links to RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe for HTC Europe.
Am I able to just use that one? My original RUU is RUU_Ville_U_O2_UK_1.78.206.4_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258707_signed.exe, but I can't find a JB version of that.
Looking on http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville, I can't see any RUUs for JB with Radio_0.16.315.
I don't want to download and try and use the wrong thing, so could someone just confirm whether I can/can't use the HTC Europe RUU, and if not, if there's anyway I can update the HBoot to run CM11?
Thank you.

No! As the OP has said in his thread, you have to use the correct RUU that matches your CID. So yeah you cant use the Europe RUU.
And if your bootloader is still locked and you are S-ON, i suggest you try to find an OTA for JB.
Because THERE IS NO RUU for JB. HTC did not release any RUU for JB as they pretty well understood OTA did serve their purpose.
So if you can confirm your existing HBOOT version here, that would be great to those who can help. Else please provide your CID. (You can use CID getter which is downloadable from PlayStore)

Ha, a nice strong "no". Thank you for that - good thing I came here to check first then.
Ok, first things first, I've tried updating using the OTA, but it doesn't install. I'm using TWRP v2.6. I could get the error code, but I think I read somewhere that you can't (or shouldn't) install OTA with custom bootloaders? I was hoping to use CM if possible anyway, so hopefully shouldn't have to worry about that (unless that's the way to update the HBoot...)
As for the other info, my HBoot is v1.13 and my CID is O2___01.

Have you tried to S-OFF your device? If you don't want to do that, why can't you run the O2 RUU then use the system update to get to the higher android version? You have to re-lock the bootloader etc.. as detailed in that guide.

I tried doing that - I installed the O2 RUU, and then tried to install the update, but it wouldn't work in TWRP. So I locked the bootloader (using fastboot oem lock), but trying to install the update just sends me to the stock HTC bootloader, and doesn't install anything. Is there something else I need to do to install the OTA update?

The O2 RUU should revert the phone completely to stock and put the stock HTC recovery on the phone so TWRP should not even be installed at this point. Just to trying to understand what you are doing: you install the RUU, once it has booted go to Settings>About>Software Updates>Check Now. It will will find an update then choose to install it. Are you saying from here the phone just reboots to the bootloader and doesn't install the update?

That was my mistake - I used the RUU, but then installed TWRP right away, and the updates wouldn't work.
Updated to 4.1.1 on stock - going to see if I can get CM installed now.

Ok, so I managed to get CM 10.2 installed (the latest stable version). I'm having an issue with v11 though.
I downloaded the most recent nightly build and try to install it (after flashing the boot.img), but get the following message:

Unlike the last few times I tried updating, where I got a clear error (like bootloader or hboot errors), the log doesn't seem to specify why the update failed.

It might be the recovery, I think CM11 needs a modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0, its in the OP of the CM11 thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47483838&postcount=1
Edit: You should also be able to use TWRP 2.7.0.0 : http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ville

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem with flashing CM11 nightlies. This is what I have done:
I have been running MaximusHD for a couple of months. Before that I was running CM11 nightlies just fine.
I used this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) to successfully downgrade to hboot 2.15. I then ran MIUI for a few days, which worked fine, but I still wanted the AOSP goodness that you get with a CM-based ROM, so I decided to change to the official CM11 nightlies.
I then tried to flash CM11 (and also PA and Vanir, both based on CM11, plus several other versions of the nightlies, which I found on download.cyanogenmod.com) in TWRP 2.7.0.0. Each time failed with the error: "E:Error executing updater binary in zip 'name-of-zip'".
Then I looked at the CM11 OP on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528113). I read that you must have one of the two "updated recoveries". While I thought that the zips should flash on TWRP 2.7.0.0, I flashed those recoveries via fastboot also. When flashing the same files as above on the modified TWRP 2.3.3.0, I got exactly the same error as I did with 2.7.0.0. When I tried flashing the ROMs on ClockWorkMod, I got a "Status 7" error.
I googled around a bit and found some (old!) posts on various forums that said that there was a recovery called philz-touch that seemed to be working for some people. I downloaded it, flashed it, and got another "status 7" error when I tried to flash any of the zips.
Then I tried using several versions of TWRP (all the ones here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ville from 2.3.3.0 to 2.7.0.0 to be precise) and tried flashing each of the zips again. Still no luck.
Other things I have tried:
*I re-ran the steps here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) to ensure that it had definitely worked the first time.
*I tried using the hboot 2.15 and 2.13 (both modded and unmodded) that I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274&nocache=1&z=674317537341266)
*I tried re-downloading the ROM zips that I had been flashing to make sure that none of them had been corrupted in any way.
*I tried flashing the CM10.2 stable ROM that I found on download.cyanogenmod.com. It flashed no problem and booted fine with no fuss.
I feel like I am the only one on the internet who is having these issues even after changing to the updated recoveries! Please excuse my English, it is not my first language! I would really appreciate some help on this, as I have absolutely no idea what to do.
Thank you very much!

You just got bad luck and probably missed the right recovery. Starting with 1/05 nightly you need a special recovery due to some CM commits. It is an unofficial 2.7.0.8 and you can find it by looking in CM11 official thread in the last pages. It is posted by intervigil a link to CM wiki from where you can download it. You will need this recovery to flash any CM nightly newer than 1/05 and also for any ROM that's based on CM tree and build lately.
The TWRP 2.7.0.0 was fine as long as you flash an older nightly or a ROM that doesn't have those commits yet.
I'm on the phone right now but I'll try to look for a link and give to you if you don't find it

I can get back into recovery. but keep getting "Error: unable to mount /system" currently downloading the latest stock rooted rom and gonna flash through fastboot. But would like some input as to what the hell is going on?

Had you updated your firmware to current version yet when you flashed the ROM?
Internal memory showing zero? Flash the partition fix zip if it is. Also you didn't mention if you flashed supersu.
Htc One M8/Vanir/Excaliber#8
So, it's not a softbrick because of Sunshine? Hmmm, do what HG suggested.

This sounds like a similar issue I've had with both my /system and /data partitions. It's quite similar to what the encryption bug on AOSP ROM's do.
Anyways my solution for this issue...if it is afterall the same issue I have had, enter TWRP and go to > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Repair or change file system > change file system, check what it says your file system is and then select your file system in the options below then > Repair & do that.
Or you can try repair first as changing the file system wipes whatever partition you are changing. If repair doesn't work then change should do the trick...once more that is if this is the issue I think it is (sounds like it).
Oh and this is really more of an "if you can't flash the partition fixer zip or it doesn't work for you" sort of solution, I myself couldn't get the zip to work so this did the trick for me. Still though I would try bills solution before mine and see what happens, hope you get it fixed!

Hello guys,
I installed cm-13 successfully and it was operating fine until yesterday. Today I tried to install a theme or something and it hung. So i just felt like doing a factory reset and I did it through my cwm recovery. But before that i made a backup, then i did the reset, then i did the restore...ever since then i havent been able to open the OS...it gets stuck on the samsung GALAXY Tab2 10.1 screen. I can however access the cwm recovery. I did infact try to unzip the cm-13 that i had previously used, and it doesnt work...
Please help guys!
I am pretty new to this and i feel like i cant figure out what to do next.
Is there a way to maybe restart the whole process, like get rid of the cm-13 that is already installed and redo the whole thing again?
Kindly help guys, i was really enjoying the cm experience and i messed it up :/

you did a backup before factory reset, then you restored the same data after reset. this hardly changed anything. the reason it didn't boot, is that The problem lies at the system partition, you should wipe system partition, data partition as well and flash the same cm-13 zip again along with gapps, if you had.
now let the system start. it should boot up with a clean installation. you can then try to advance restore and chose only data partition.
later just switch to twrp recovery by Android-Andi

Hello, actually I did exactly that, i wiped system partition and all of that...then i did try with cwm, and it didnt work, what is happening is that i select the option to flash the ROM, then the screen goes blank for a second and comes back to the home screen of the cwm recovery. So basically i selected the zip and nothing happened! I then tried flashing using twrp and the problem now was that there was the "no md5 file found" message and the installation would not stop, it would go on for too long, like some sort of loop. I then switched back to cwm and tried again and it still doesnt seem to work...kindly advice on what to do next

first thing check if you have updated to last official stock jellybean rom prior to cm13 upgrade.
this thread will help you to update your bootloader to jb from ics. if you have a jb bootloader already. you can skip this.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642005
next thing you should get twrp 3.0.2.8
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48848&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
after wiping, restart recovery, then flash the Rom zip
it takes time with the new CM13 builds to complete installation. some earlier twrp recoveries had issues(3.0.0.1 and 0.2, not sure right now, try latest only). cwm is not supported and twrp is the only preferred recovery by the Rom developers to flash the newer roms.
remember p5100 tab is called espresso3g now, since development has been unified. you need files marked as espresso3g for your p5100.
I don't which files are you using, development has changed so confirm the files that you're using are for unified builds and not device specific.

this thread will help you to update your bootloader to jb from ics. if you have a jb bootloader already. you can skip this.

next thing you should get twrp 3.0.2.8
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48848&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
after wiping, restart recovery, then flash the Rom zip
it takes time with the new CM13 builds to complete installation. some earlier twrp recoveries had issues(3.0.0.1 and 0.2, not sure right now, try latest only). cwm is not supported and twrp is the only preferred recovery by the Rom developers to flash the newer roms.
remember p5100 tab is called espresso3g now, since development has been unified. you need files marked as espresso3g for your p5100.
I don't which files are you using, development has changed so confirm the files that you're using are for unified builds and not device specific.

I followed all the steps that you suggested, and the thread suggested.
I installed custom recovery, then I updated the bootloader.
Then i flashed the new twrp, which is alot more easier to operated compared to the cwm .
then i wiped , restarted recovery, then flashed the rom,
the exact same thing that was previously happening with the cwm happened : I tapped on the rom, then a blank screen appeared and it went back to the main menu of the twrp...
The ROM i am using is: cm-13.0-20160220-1347-UNOFFICIAL-p5100.zip
i also tried using the ROM i got from get.cm : cm-11-20160822-NIGHTLY-p5100.zip
Okay so i played a slow mo video to see what the screen says before it goes back to the welcome screen:
Updating partition details. . .
. . . done
Full SElinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Then after this pops up, it goes back to the main menu of the twrp.
What if i just reinstall the stock OS then do the whole process of getting cyanogenmod again from rooting onwards?
Kindly assist!!

OKAY! So i have had some progress in the situation i got myself into! Now i just changed the sd card and tried to flash the ROM, so it didnt successfully flash, it says:
Zip file is corrupt!
Error installing zip file ..*the directory of the ROM*
This doesnt make sense though because i used the exact same ROM earlier and it worked, i used it for a whole day and it was fine...

do what @billysam said.
dont use device specific stuff. the latest twrp will only work with unified builds. for your device you need espresso3g builds.
you will find the latest roms on android-andis github site http://andi34.github.io/index.html

you're using device specific Rom build, cm13.0 unofficial p5100, the latest twrp recovery you have, is a unfied espresso3g one.
latest roms, are build upon espresso3g for p5100,p3100 and espressowifi for p5110,p5113 p3113.
use latest cm13 rom zip, marked espresso3g.
there are device specific roms and recovery, which developers have stopped working on, your issue is because of this. get unified recovery and rom.

maybe the zip got corrupted, checked your pc with anti-virus? are you downloading the zip file from androidfilehost of android-andi? or some other source? checked your sd card as well?
Hey androids, I submitted this question as a reply to the guide thread already earlier... just thought it might get noticed in this forum alittle quicker... any help would be appreciated
I'm working on a recalled tablet that I rooted to keep using, and up until recently the ROM i had installed on it worked famously (bliss pop with android 5.1.1). Now, I was having some issues with it and thought "Well, i'll try out a different rom!"
So, I already had root (obviously) and I had already successfully installed a rom to this tablet... Using TWRP (both the 2.8.x.x I used previously and the newest one available for the shield) I have backed up, wiped, and flashed the images to 3 different roms + gapps for the appropriate versions...
first, I was going an issue with it mounting the \data partition so it wouldn't flash anything... then I repaired and rewiped the partitions, and got (what appeared to me in the logs) a clean and successful install of the roms. Each time I successfully flashed a ROM and GAPPs zips I would go to boot the ROM and my table would sit on the "NVIDIA" boot screen forever, never advancing to boot the ROMs.
I was worried that I had made a mistake and bricked the thing (though, it's been on borrowed time anyways being a recalled tablet). But I was able to force shutdown the tablet and reboot it into TWRP for another try. Each time I cleared the previous flash, wiped the cache and system partitions, and would get another clean install... but each time, it would get stuck on that same boot screen....
Anyone have any suggestions? thoughts? ideas? fixes? answers?.... anything? lol
Thanks folks!
Assuming you are trying to flash MM custom roms: You need the MM bootloader.

Is the newest TWRP *not* a MM bootloader?
TWRP is a recovery. A bootloader is a bootloader.
This is covered in every rom thread that updated from L to M.

I'll re-look, the guides i've read have only covered flashing TWRP, then using them to flash the ROM and GAPPs... Which is what I did the first time I rooted it and put on a custom ROM... though maybe I didn't delete the original bootloader the first time and did so accidentally this time?
Thanks for the heads up though people, we'll see if I can straighten it out now that I know what I'm looking for

Ok, so I've downloaded the shield recovery zip, flashed the boot.img to the boot... nothing, then I read on one of the guides here that the "blob.img" is the bootloader... but the zip has a blob, without the .img
So I then attempted to add .img, and flash it to "boot" in TWRP, and there was an error, saying the file is too large...
do you (or someone else) know where to find a guide on where to find/how to flash a MM bootloader?
thanks
Ok, so I found guide with links to the latest firmware update; I flashed it, rebooted, and now I've gotta past the "Nvidia" boot screen into the Bliss boot screen... It's been here for a couple minutes now, gonna give it alittle bit and then try to install the other ROM I had tried.
