Hello all
I have XT1032 (GPE), and I had CM11 on it (nightly from 1106, I believe).
Today I downloaded the latest CM12 nightly (0115), and tried installing it from TWRP. The installation failed (I keep getting "Error executing updater-binary"), and I remained with no system partition.
I tried many guides and tips (the most promising one was this), but nothing seemed to work.
If I understand correctly, there is some problem in installing CM12 over 4.4.4 (from CM11).
I somehow managed to get to stock 4.4.4, but I'd much prefer to get back to CM11. However, all the download links on CM website don't seem to work over a week back, or something. Is there some other mirror with CM11 I can use, in the meantime? Maybe someone in here has a relatively recent CM11 zip file he can send me?
And what about a real solution to the problem? Is there a way to install CM12 on my stock 4.4.4? Am I the only one who got this error?
Thank you for your help.

Hi. After I posted this message, the problem seems to be that my ROM is hopelessly old. But after following the recommendations, I still couldn't update.
I tried to install "cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-moto_msm8960.zip" from ClockworkMod recovery. Got this error message:
Code:
This package is for device: moto_msm8960, xt907, scorpion_mini, smq, xt926, vanquish; this device is xt925.
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
But I was told (and the message on the CM wiki confirms it) that builds have been unified.
What should I do?
Looking for installs for xt925 specifically, the last stable is the one I have, and the few nightlies are very old as well and I doubt would solve the problem.
There is the CM12 nightly for xt925 released today, but since I'm highly dependent on my phone functioning while traveling next week and can't afford things going wrong, I'd rather avoid nightlies and experimental versions unless I have absolutely no alternative to have my phone encrypted.
Advice?
Thanks a lot.
By the way, I prefer to not make a factory reset unless it's necessary.
Is it necessary? Do I have to wipe cache? Wipe dalvik? Some sites say yes, some sites say not needed.
Is the answer different depending on whether I would be upgrading to a more recent version of CM 11 or to CM 12 nightly?
Thanks!
@taylortm Please read again what I wrote to you here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58132610&postcount=2
You can't use moto_msm8960 CM11 builds nor xt925 CM12 build unless you update your device to stock KitKat firmware by Motorola first.
While your device is still using JellyBean bootloader/modem firmware, you can update only to moto_msm8960_jbbl CM11 builds.
That's right, I overlooked that, thank you. Was able to upgrade now.
I thought that because my Android stock was KitKat before I flashed CM11, that the bootloader would also be KK. It was a jbbl, because now it worked.
Everything seems to be working just fine, was no need to clear caches or data or anything. My compass is also now fixed.
I just started encryption and it wasn't locked in the robot anymore, it booted and now shows a progress bar with 4% complete.
Thanks, kabaldan!
Just one more question, will there be CM12 for moto_msm8960_jbbl later, or if I want to upgrade to CM12 I will have to do this kkbl workaround you mentioned?

Hi, so i recently bought an brand new (factory Unlocked) LG G2 32gb (D801). It is running stock firmware android 4.2.2. I want to put official CM12 on it. From what I have read, the nightly versions of CM12 are really stable, and they do not have a lot of problems (if anyone has any problems with theirs please share, Im really interested). I am going to use this as my daily driver. My past history of rooting and putting cm on phones only includes the Samsung Captivate (captivatemtd) which I installed CM 10 and 11 (no problems with it). Could someone provide me a detailed, step by step method of installing cm onto the D801? Youtube videos are also helpful. Thanks so much in advance.
P.S. What custom recovery would be better with the LG G2? CWM or TWRP? (I have only used CWM in the past)
P.P.S. Will I be able to update from the nightlies to the more stable build of CM12 (ex. snapshot), without wiping the whole phone and flashing the software from a computer?

I can't get it to work either. D801 with TWRP, tried installing the newest nightly and get an error.

This method worked fine for me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py4pOmY2YQA
I want to ask if there is any problem (flicker screen, red notification on booting up...) when I install CM11 from stock 5.0.2 on Falcon Moto G XT1032? (follow this official guide on CyanogenMod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_falcon)
Thank you.
I've done this recently and the only issue I've noticed is the screen flickering problem. The solution is to simply press the power button to lock the screen then unlock it and it should be fixed. You only have to do this once but if you reboot your phone you will have to lock/unlock again on first boot.
Thank you for your answer. Just to be sure, did you follow CM guide? Is there anything important which I should be careful about? (I did the same thing with several phones but still noob)
I just booted into custom recovery (I use Philz) and wiped the different partitions along with /cache and /dalvik. You can follow the guide and use the push method or you can use sideload which I did.
I did that and now i have problems with the mac address (i was using 5.1.1) my shows me a different mac and i don't know how fix it, but if i back to LP the problem is solved.
It's a bootloader issue for sure and general happen because you're bootloader is updated to Lolipop 5.0.2 and now you install kitkat as cm 11 over Lolipop.
In simple words your bootloader is new while the software is old
screen flickering issue can be resolved by downgrade bootloader but "BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS" failed to upgrade bootloader make your device permanently dead and downgrading is not recommended....
I will recommend try cm12.1 it's rock solid stable as cm11
I finished installed CM 11, firstly the prob is screen flickering. Then after installing all my apps, the android.com.systemui was crashed over and over and cannot use anymore. I reflashed CM and gapps and reinstalled apps but it happened again. Finally, I had to returned to Lollipop.
Anyway, thank you all for your help
Same thing happened to me unfortunately but I've found this one here and it is working beautifully. Try it and see if it works for you without the constant systemui errors.
Thank you. At the moment i am quite happy with GPE version. It seems that this version GPE 5.1.1 is better than Moto stock one.
Hi guys, a few days ago I posted something about a CM12 update here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/update-to-ota-recovery-issue-t3143078 and as somebody pointed out the cause of the problem might be the fact that the TWRP error that I get when I try to install the update says that I have android 4.4.4 whereas I have CM12 (hence the new post). Let's have a look at this, here is the screenshot of the error message http://s28.postimg.org/zb06wtcpp/OTA_error.jpg
As you can see here instead http://s17.postimg.org/mvd5vekjz/settings.png I have CM12 5.0.2 (which is stock as the phone came shipped with CM).
Now, is there any way we can get what TWRP says to match the version of android I have?
thanks
I have been running Cryogenmod 12.1 for my Samsung SM-A300FU but its UNOFFICIAL and a preview the webpage i got it off says 'Wifi and Camera NOT WORKING'. I guess thats what i get for following my mates advice.
Because of this, i looked at CM13 (Android 6) which i got off the XDA site and i have made sure it is for my phone and model, the SM-A300FU. Of course, being my luck it didnt work. I get the error of 'Executing updater binary in zip' and i have wiped my phone then tried to install it and i have also tried to completly remove all OS and files then install it which apparently fixed it for people, but not me of course. In a desperate measure i even bluetoothed the ROM to another phone then back into my SM-A300FU to get it onto the internal storage but that obviously didnt change anything.
Finally, i gave up and tried to downgrade back to Android 5.0.2 although this isnt a CM zip. Once again, this ROM doesnt work. It just gives me an error saying it failed, no reason in particular.
I have a few issues for a whole range of files. Any help in fixing any or all of these would be much appreciated.
Links to the files I sites i downloaded the files from:
CM 12.1 UNOFFICIAL (Not meant to work fully) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3273323
CM 13 (Doesnt install) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-unofficial-samsung-t3326297
Android 5.0.2 ROM (Doesnt install) - http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/-Firmware-Download-Samsung-Galaxy-A3-SM-A300FU-Official-Android-5-0-2-Lollipop-update-Rolling-out
So to reitterate: I installed the CM 12.1 ROM without issues but it turns out to be a mod that doesnt work fully meaning its unsuitable for me. I downloaded CM 13 but this gets an error. I downloaded a Android 5.0.2 ROM which has an error it doesnt even tell me about.
