Flash the boot.img from the flashable zip the same way you flashed the boot.img from Lollipop.

Update to BETA
Will it get OTA updates? or I should download new version and reflesh?

No I don't think so, maybe once we get it merged with CM12 and other custom ROMs.

Theres no information on a new version of CM, except that Cyanogen team has started working on Xperia Z's and Nexus 5.

CM12 will eventually get released, either late this year or early next year. However that doesn't mean we'll be getting it as well. We probably will, once we get more bugs fixed with L but yeah, no information about that as of now.

No network right? it's so bad, if will network coverage I will use this till full release will come :crying:

Me Unlucky or whatever
I guess I am unlucky to have the .zip but not yet tasted 'L on L' . I can't get fastboot to flash those img's.
If someone can help me out, it will be really appreciated. Here's how I tried to put the ROM on my phone (failures of course)
-I started adb, ran 'adb devices', won't show up anything, re-connected again, this time adb would recognize, but state it offline. I upgraded adb from 1.0.29 to v1.0.31, it would then work properly.
-But fastboot does'nt work at all. It won't show any device when I run 'fastboot devices'.
-I tried installing drivers again (disabling signature verification and all), it would not work.
-Although flashtool does say 'device connected in fastboot mode', but when I check drivers from Devices option, it won't list any drivers, both under adb and fastboot.
I have lost hopes of flashing by that process, I might have to wait untill a flashable zip is available. But any help for now will surely be appreciated, and since WiFi and BT has been fixed, ROM is quite usable (atleast Internet can be done).
Thank You

unlike cm, paranoid etc come in .zips, AOSP comes in .img . Try another pc!

Is there "Scanning Effect" due broken hwComposer ?
When it gets RIL fix ? Anu hope to make it as flashable zip ?

If I installed Android L, would there be any way currently to add PIE controls? Or would I have to wait for a 5.0 ROM like PA to be able to do that?

Pure Vanilla Android that means ,no PIE you have to wait for PA/CM12

Link For the latest build with wife and bluetooth FIXED?

oh my F.god!! people are so annoying in the other thread! first with their many of 'Thanks' posts, then telling stories about wifi issue, and it's getting even worse! now they're looking for download link to the wifi-working rom and telling varun 'how' and 'when' update the OP.. ! to the guy who 'creates' "ROMs" !!
all this stupidity on "XDA" is mind blowing for me. I hope that admins do some serious job about it. sry for the En and other things.

Yes I ran into the same problem, some roms will not work, try another rom.
evo lte no rom
My evo lte is still s-on, and honestly i'm having so many problems with it. i'd like s-off but i'd have to do dirty racun and I don't have Ubuntu... anyways. right now i am having NO luck finding a rom that will work, i've tried charmeleon, mean rom, and a few others flashed them in recovery, flashed their boot.img in fastboot and I can't even see the boot image half the time. I did notice when the charmeleon rom was trying to install that it stopped when it said installing kernel and rebooted itself and I haven't been able to get past there. i'm not picky, at this point I want ANY rom that will actually work so i can have a phone again, please help
ps. I don't have a backup. I had several but somewhere in trying to figure things out, i wiped the entire sd card so i've just been installing roms and trying them via usb mount from recovery

thanks for the reply! I tried almost all of those roms and the download files have been deleted . can you possibly send me a direct link to a rom? also since i'm s-on... i heard HTC dumlock is a good alternative to flash kernels cause i've been using fastboot and they successfully flash but if i by chance get to the lock screen i can't pull the ring up to open the phone, it's completely unresponsive.

[Q] CM10-11 doesn't work, but Viper S does

Hello all.
I've got a HTC one S 1.5Ghz dual core phone. I've successfully rooted my phone and tried to install CM on it with the latest gapps too. Here are my results:
CM 10 :- Sticks on the loading / boot screen (left over an hour, nothing)
CM 11 :- Doesn't even get to the boot screen
Viper S :- Works
I've got hBoot 2.15 too. Now, I'm not too sure what kernel people are using to get CM to work on this device. If somebody could please post what CM they are running and kernel, that would be great! I will install the same versions and reply back. I really want to get CM on this device, as I was to learn more about Android (I'm a Java developer, junior mobile developer atm). Your help will be most appreciated.
Thanks a dozen!!!!

If you are S-ON you must flash the boot.img you can find in your CMXX.zip with the fastboot command fastboot flash boot boot.img
you can use this tool for exemple : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790006

First, you posted in the wrong section! This section is for development projects.
Also, have you installed a different version of CM12s? The zip is not flashing because it sees a modification to the firmware you're running, or it's a bad download .

Here try this, flash cyangen's recovery and try updating again. I don't know if that will do anything but it's worth a try!
It was told a zillion times. Either cyanogen recovery or download the full rom update instead of the delta OTA (full can be flashed via TWRP).
Look around the oneplus forums, I had the same problem. I managed to find the file and flash it with twrp without having to do the whole rom. The battery got better along with touch screen fixes

Oneplus one rebooting at boot animations!!! Please help

I have been using Oneplus one for like 1 year or so, and its a beast :good: without wasting time lets COME TO THE POINT "i have a problem":
1) it reboots continuously when at Boot animation, things i have already done>>
a)factory reset,
b)installed various other roms,:crying:
c)did unbrick technique,
d)flashed stock rom using ADB shell,
e)Erased and flashed persist.img,
F)contacted support team, they took a Remote session but all in vain,
Phew!!! but no luck
NOTE:
it reboots only when i flash Android version 5.0 or higher.
On kitkat it works fine what could be the reason, This a'int a hardware problem i guess .
Bonus query(That may help ) :
2)When i got the oneplus after flashing many roms,
I noticed it shows only 1869 MB ram while its 3 GB (should be 2556 mb or so),
and 2.5/2,7 Gb in android version 5.0 or higher,
SO PLEASE ANDROIDIANS , HELP ME!!!!!!
@adarsh58 I assume that you've unlocked ur bootloader etc. so just scroll down to step 9 and flash the file u need to go from kitkat to lollipop.
The reason why the roms are stuck on the bootanimation is because the bootloader and modem files are updated so it will only give errors and will cause an bootloop if you don't update them. Try it and report back :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
About your ram issue, just try to flash these files and see how it goes as the issue existed I believe when people tried kitkat again when first using lollipop roms so I guess the roms eventually caused a conflict
Thanks for the HELP!!!!

[Recovery] TWRP 3.1.1 for Xperia X Compact

Greetings!
I'd like to present a TWRP recovery for the Xperia X Compact. This release should work on Xperia X single and dual-SIM variant of the device. I am an owner of Xperia X, but some users reported that my recovery works just fine on its smaller brother.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm not responsible for any damage done to your device. You have been warned.
REQUIREMENTS
Unlocked bootloader
Working ADB and Fastboot (You can get the latest version through Android Studio or by visiting this site)
FEATURES
MTP support
ADB Sideload
Backups and restores almost every partition
Full SELinux support
Working encryption. You can access /data within recovery
USB-OTG
DOWNLOADS
INSTALLATION
Unlock the bootloader
Download the file
Put the following code in CMD/Terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-kugo-*.img
//Replace * with the version you want to flash
Unplug the cable
Press Volume Down + Power to activate the recovery. When installed properly, the device should vibrate funnily, purple LED should appear and after a couple of seconds, you should see the TWRP screen.
Enjoy!
BUILD
You need to sync the OmniROM and vendor blobs from DonkeyCoyote. You can find my sources on GitHub.
android_device_sony_loire_common
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/commits/android-7.1
Thanks:
@grayleshy - for initial TWRP
@AndroPlus for some of his flags
OmniROM team for sources
If you find my work useful, consider buying me a cup of coffee
it works perfectly! well can't say I tried all functions yet, but it certainly seems so.
thank you so much. finally a proper lastest version of twrp for XC that supports encryption on nougat.
btw. you have to flash it over fotakernel as described in OP. (hotbooting did not work. blank screen.)
I did try other regular X twrp versions with the same result in the past in hopes of finding something better, so the issue was likely the same since I hotbooted them too for a fast test. I guess that's what you get for being lazy. doh.
thanks again for posting it here.

What do you mean by hot booting? I did this to boot to twrp without installing and have no problem
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Thanks for the twrp, with this I can make full backup before trying to update to 7.1 or 8.0 later :good:
MTP is not working in this version. Everything else is top notch, will test backup/restore a bit later and report back.

Exactly. I know hotbooting is not the best description, but you understood anyway.
Strange, I am not a flashophile so I usually just booted twrp this way after a upgrade with flashtool. When the phone was connected to the pc anyway.
But it only works for me with the androplus version, oshmoun's version won't boot that way either. It's not the first time I have talked odd twrp behaviour though, as another guy could not get the androplus one to work at all. I have no reason to doubt him, as this is pretty casual stuff.
I see you are still on MM, I have been on N since it came out and if I remember correctly I backed up ta just before N came out (exploit and N came out very close to each other), took the ota, and unlocked BL. So I performed all the 'fastboots' (better word? heh) on that and 7.1.1. Perhaps the bootloader changed someway? I have no idea.
Edit: if I learned to read properly the first time, you are NOT on MM (doh) but 7.0. Sorry and even more strange. Does MTP work for you? (see below)

This version uses Sony init, so you can see the Sony screen and led indicator while entering the recovery mode. I'm not planning to change it before creating an official TWRP.

Is this in response to something functional, or just general cosmetics info? Doesn't the sony screen origin from the bootloader? How should a official twrp look while booting it? I get the sony boot and led then the TWRP boot image, isn't that normal when booting fotakernel replaced by TWRP? ie. the bootloader handles it when turning the phone on while holding vol down.
An official version would sure be nice. I more than appreciate what you already done. So just take your time.

But it only works for me with the androplus version, oshmoun's version won't boot that way either. It's not the first time I have talked odd twrp behaviour though, as another guy could not get the androplus one to work at all. I have no reason to doubt him, as this is pretty casual stuff.
Edit: if I learned to read properly the first time, you are NOT on MM (doh) but 7.0. Sorry and even more strange. Does MTP work for you? (see below)

Strange, I don't have problem booting twrp without installing for either of twrp.
I'm on 7.0. I tried to update to 7.1, but I don't get signal if I do the ta_poc + tobias drm fix method, and the drm is still marked as broken.
I really hate mtp and avoid it. I don't think I even have mtp working properly on my pc. I can't help you test that one. Sorry.

Why are you running it through both ta_poc and Tobias rootkernel with drm fix?
Either you use ta_poc to mount your ta backup from before the bootloader was unlocked thereby bringing the whole trim area back including drm.
Or you use Tobias rootkernel to fix or 'emulate" drm.
Both tools can disable dm verity, sony ric, etc. there is no reason (other than likely creating trouble) to run the kernel image though both tools?!
If you for example run a boot.img with drm fix through ta_poc it will remove the drm fix first. So I imagine things could go wrong of you apply drm fix again (if that is what you're doing) after using ta_poc.

Lol I hate it general too, it can come in handy when only twrp is booted though. I am not sure I have any drivers installed either. Regardless I can access a drive resembling my phone labeled 'mtp device' in 'my computer' when I boot twrp.
Edit: sorry for sidetracking the thread a bit.

Using both tools stems from users reporting they had to to get Magisk to work.

There was an info in one of threads, that you should get the stock kernel first through TA_POC and then through kernel repack tool. If you did not, it would work, but occassionally reboots. I am now on 7.1.1 build 206 with Genesis Kernel 1.05 (no_DRM patch version) and it works ok.
As for TWRP, thanks for this! It works ok. Can not fastboot it, must be flashed in recovery parition, but no deal for me. Only thing that I wonder, there are options to backup system, data etc, but not Internal SD (/data/data). Why?
Hi I have a question, I have N 7.1.1, and i want to root it, so i need the twrp, if I flash this twrp, its okay? Ty!
