I'm running latest L preview (rooted, custom kernel), multiROM.
1. I flashed LRX21O flashable (NOT this one , can't find that one ) as a secondary ROM . It booted up properly etc but it didn't give me any option to restore my previous apps. I tried doing factory reset, reflashed. It didn't help. Is there any way to force it?
2. How do I upgrade my recovery from android L without using pc? (flashify doesn't work on L so I can't flash .img files without PC)?
3. Is it neccesary to flash new radios?
3.1. How do I flash radios if I want to keep my multiROM and L preview as my primary ROM until I move everything to 5.0 final (I am planning to have both ROMs on my phone for a few days until everything is really configured because I don't like it when I find something missing on my new ROM that I just had on a ROM that I just deleted)?
(I have quite fast internet so it is not a problem to download these flashable zips)
Thank you for your time

Hey guys, I've seen this issue before yet I've tried everything in a few threads now but have no idea what is happening,I have tried using search function yet no solution has fixed my problem.
Problem:
When installing custom ROMs the installation goes fine. I put the ROM on the sdcard, follow instructions for flashing e.g wipe data/cache etc and then flash GAPPS. However I get stuck on the boot logo of every ROM. I've tried both TWRP and CWM recoveries, both with no luck. Also tried not flashing GAPPS and just trying to flash the ROM to no avail.
Current state of phone:
The phone is currently running stock firmware via downloading factory image and flashing in boot-loader : stock boot, recovery, system image etc
The phone works fine when rooted on stock firmware. E.g no custom rom yet rooted.
Could really do with some help guys, any ideas?

same problem simple solution another user informed me of.
simply donwgrade to 4.3 JB stock rom through fastboot. Then you are able to flash a custm rom from the 4.3 stock rom.
Its crazy i have to do this but it worked for me, now im running the xperience rom which is a rom based on 4.4.2 kk.
the 4.3 android stock firmwares are linked somewhere in the FAQ's as well as the guide to ffastboot lash it.
peace.

Hey man, worked a charm thanks!
For users who may have the same problem:
After flashing 4.3 onto the device it did NOT boot.
- However I then went into the bootloader flashed custom recovery, I used cwm.
- Then I went into recovery, used adb to push the rom and gapps onto sdcard
- Full wipe and then installed rom. Then installed gapps
Working fine.
Cheers chairsz :good::good:
Hi XDA community,
I updated my One+ one to OS Oxygen lollipop (succesfully) by loading the zip file from the TWRP menu, but I prefer the 4.4.4 version (main reason is battery life), so before reinstalling the original CM11, I decided to 'clean' a little bit my phone.
I think I wipe too many things (like system, data, sdcard...) (erfff, I know, I'm stupid and make a big mistake, but that's not the point !)
Now, I have a nice phone, without any OS.
Question is :
How can I copy a new ROM zip into the phone storage to install it from TWRP ? (the only way I know to inxtall a ROM)
Or maybe I'm totally wrong and I need to do something else, but what ?
I'm not a total noob, but I'm really stuck with a OSless phone and don't really know what to search.
Can someone point me to the correct direction ?!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Since last ROM you used was based on Android Lollipop, you can flash any Android Lollipop based ROM without any issues by just pushing the ROM.zip along with GApps.zip in the internal storage.
If you want to rollback to any Android KitKat based ROM, you need to flash CM11S firmware first before flashing any Android KitKat based ROM otherwise you'll end up bricking the device.
And if you happen to flash Android KitKat based ROM first and then suddenly changed your mind to upgrade to latest Android Lollipop based ROM, then recommendation is to first flash any CM12 nightly and then flash any Android Lollipop based ROM.
Thanks Mister for your answer :angel:
My pb was more about how can I copy the ROM on my phone, but anyway, I found a solution with the USB-OtG :good:
I copy the CM11 rom on the OtG key, plug it on my phone, and from the TWRP menu, I successfully mount the 'otg-usb', so I can browse the additional usb key plugged on my 1+1, and select the correct zip file.
By the way, many thanks for your explanation and direction on how I can upgrade/downgrade my device without brick it !
Long life to XDA
Multi part question here which, in my mind, are somewhat related.. I've read up on many posts but these questions I still am not totally clear on and would rather not risk bricking trying to experiment....
#1) When a nandroid is taken on a particular firmware (say 4.4.4) and then after upgrading firmware to a different firmware (say 5.0.2) and I encounter a problem where there is no OS left after wiping and failing to install a custom ROM (TWRP will report: no OS installed! are you sure you want to reboot?), can I flash restore the 4.4.4 nandroid and be ok or will I brick because of bootloader incompatibility [I come from motorola phones recently - this is my first HTC]?
#2) When adding additional ROMs to multiROM do the ROMs have to be of the same firmware version? Moreover, can multiROM have a sense ROM as it's primary ROM and a GPE ROM as a secondary ROM and vice versa?
( FYI - as of this posting I still have yet to successfully boot my secondary ROM using multiROM - I can successfully install mod'd TWRP, the manager, and the patched kernel but something is eluding me - anyone with a link to a very simplified and step by step procedure on installing mulitRoom would be appreciated. I thought I had enough understanding [of the procedures I could find anyways] but apparently not, as I obviously can not get secondary Rom to boot.) I'm able to add the ROM in TWRP but when I reboot, the ROM is not listed after pressing cancel and going to the multiROM boot screen, there is simply nothing there.
#3) Re: multirom - When I reboot into the mod'd TWRP recovery and flash gapps (or any zip file for that matter) how do I know which ROM the zip is being applied to (ie: primary or secondary)?
Feel free to answer as many or as few of the questions as I know it is a lot. Thanks in advance!

You won't brick it.. softbrick/bootloop maybe.. but it's easy enough just to keep a copy of the different firmware zips to flash before restoring that version nandroid.

Much oblige! I assume then what to do would be to NOT reboot to system but to BOOTLOADER and fastboot flash the zip? or would I flash the firmware from TWRP (I thought firmware had to be fastbootRUU flashed)?
thx again
Hello Guys,
Need your help. Please help me out here.
My wife has a Sony xperia L which is still running Android 4.1.2 version. Now I rooted it with Root kit and tried flashing various Lollipop Roms like Cm12,primexperia and resurrection. But wifi does not work on all these Roms
I have tried almost every solution available on Xda.
I have used multiple custom recovery, N number of kernals and have flashed Boot.img and Thunderzap 4.16 from recovery after flashing the Roms. Still not luck.
Steps followed for flashing the Rom
1.Rooted with Rootkit and updated Supersu binary
2.Installed Busy box with Flashtool
3.Flashed a kernal (Tried TZ 4.14,4.7,4.8 Extended stock kernal and some more)
4. Booted to recovery ( Tried Cwm, TWRP, Philz)
5. Wipe data and all for clean installation
6. Flashed Rom zip (Cm12, Omni 4.4, Primexperia, Resurrection)
7. Flashed Gapps (As per the Rom)
8. Flashed Supersu zip to regain root access
9. Reboot to boot into new Rom
10. Wifi is not working so flashed boot.img from Rom via flashtool
11. Flash TZ 4.16 in recovery for cm12 ROMS.
Still wifi not working not sure what is the issue. It's working fine in Stock Rom.
Now I am upgrading to 4.2.2 via Sony update software.
Masters please help me out here. I can think of 2 solutions now.
1. First update to latest Sony official update (4.2.2) and then try again.
2. If there is any firmware file for stable lollipop version (with system.img, data.img and boot.img) which can be flashed using flashtool.

number 1. is correct the 4.1.2 software uses a really old modem that isnt compatible with LP based roms... The LATEST stockrom (...1.17 4.2.2) has the correct modem to make the wifi work
Sent from my Xperia T using XDA Free mobile app
so i got my mate7 over a year ago and right from the start i installed cm11. i only had the stock rom for a week. its been so long that i forgot this phone has a fingerprint scanner. i have decided to flash the latest huawei rom and then shortly after flash KangVIP. the problem is that i dont know where to begin.
im currently running CM11 from this thread. i installed TWRP using acbka's tool (thanks!). so, where do i go from here? im guessing i go to stock recovery and then do a serious of stock firmware upgrades. the problem is i dont know which ones.
my phone model is an MT7-L09 (im in the US if that matters). im hoping i can get LP installed before the spring semester. any and all help is appreciated. thanks and happy new year.
For coming back to huawei stock rom from CM11 I usually:
(Wipe /data and /system from recovery)
Flash from recovery this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/rom-erykinemt7-v1-0-0-mt7-l09-b137sp03-t3044695 or any kitkat rom that comes with flashable zip
Flash the stock kitkat recovery (Option 1 from acbka's tools)
Flash a stock kitkat rom (this for example --- I didn't try flashing Lollipop stock rom here, you can just try it or install kitkat stock then lollipop stock) using huawei update tool (you have to put the stock rom in /dload folder, then go to settings, update and start a local update). It's important that you have flashed the stock recovery in the previous step because a non-official recovery won't let you install huawei software.
Now you can receive OTA updates
(I use cwm recovery but I think that it's just the same with twrp)
