CM12 builds compatible with MultiROM? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any CM12 builds (or variants) for OnePlus that are compatible with MultiROM? I got so confused reading how to flash Temasek's version that I gave up. There was one that was compatible and it worked until the latest firmware was released. Just wondering if MultiROM is worth it for CM12 builds?
Thanks in advance.

I tried to flash latest nightly with MultiROM, result is bootloop for CM12.
You can make CM12 as primary ROM and keep KitKat based ROMs as secondary
(Clean flash is needed for above statement)

I was able to do this.
I used the following workaround:
1) Install MultiROM
2) Backup your primary ROM
3) Flash the Lollipop ROM as primary ROM
4) Backup the Lollipop ROM
5) Restore the backup of your CM11S? ROM
6) In the TWRP recovery go to MultiROM -> add ROM -> from backup
7) Enjoy!
I'd like to include a link where i found this but unfortunately I can't (I need 10 posts). I do know that it is the first/second link if you google this: [WORKAROUND - MULTIROM] How to avoid "error executing updater binary in zip"
But if you're interested PM me.

No need to do any of those swapping ROM things anymore
Search keyword multirom in the temasek thread and you will find multirom edited ROMs that you can add and they will work. Just make sure you install the multirom app from play store and update to the latest on your primary ROM if there are any updates.
Only requirement is that your primary ROM needs to have a custom kernel. You can flash ak kernel on your primary. Make sure you get the right version for whatever ROM is your primary. Or your can simply install the kernel from within multirom app if you don't care about custom features with custom kernels and that will work also

[Q] a question regarding TWRP

Hey, I'm trying to install TWRP Custom Recovery on my OPO, which is 5.0.2 with stock CM12s.
Now if I recall correctly, the .zip file of my CM11s installation had 'Bacon' on it ( The nickname of 11s version perhaps? ), and the TWRP download is also called 'Bacon', so I just want to make sure this is also supposed to work on my CM12s.
In other words, is the TWRP download link given at their website compatible with my device ( 5.0.2 & Stock CM12s ).
sorry for my dumbness, I'm just not too good with those things.

Bacon is the codename for this device, so yes you have the right one. You need to approach the install a little differently than usually on CM12S though, see the last question in the FAQ thread:

MultiROM - doesn't have hexec-hardpoot patch!

Hello,
I have a OnePlus One running on CM 13.0
I have MultiRom installed and I have this error showing on the front page of the app - "doesn't have hexec-hardpoot patch!". I tried to install Kernal 6.0.x (my primary ROM is CM 13.0) through the app, but I couldn't. When I try to install the Kernal I get an error during the instillation saying "needs recovery".
I don't really know a lot about this stuff so excuse my ignorance, but how do I install the needed recovery so that I will be able to install the Kernal.
I have TWRP installed in my phone. I swap my primary ROM with a secondary one few days ago. I am not sure if this was caused the issue.

Hello ali282h,
I don't know about the needs recovery error during the installation, but if it's saying doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch then you have to find an kernel that fits ur cm-13.0 rom with kexec-hardboot patch included. I assume that when you've switched ur external rom with ur primary that the external rom that you were using didn't had an kexec-hardboot patch included so try another kernel with kexec-hardboot patch included.
Hope this would help you with ur problem:good:
Thank you. I will give it a try.

if you want you existing primary, i can propose 2 kernels. 1 is Boeffla kernel and the other lightening CM13 kernel.
Instructions in their thread. However, if you plan to use multirom for a while, the latest update has kexec workaround. (multirom settings from TWRP- check multirom page last 2-3 pages). or i would entirely recommend you to keep a kexec patced rom as primary to negate any issues which may arise.
Thank you for the suggestions. I am actually using the 'workaround' feature in TWRP.
I have a question in regard to Boeffla. In the official website.. (http://boeffla.de/index.php/downloads/current-kernel-versions) It says 5.2 next the Oneplus One CM 13.0 Stable. I am confused as to what 5.2 really means. Is this the Android version? CM 13 is based on Android 6.0! I just don't want to flash the wrong one and end up with a boot loop. Do you think the kernel I mentioned is compatible with my phone (OnePlus One - CM 13.0 - Android 6.0.1)
Thank you!

Can we update CM Firmware without reinstalling OS

Hello,

If you want to switch to a completely different ROM, you will have to do the wipes in recovery then flash the new ROM. If you want to flash an update of the same ROM you have then you don't need the wipes, you can just flash the update without wiping, this is called "dirty flashing". Dirty flash usually only works when flashing an update of the same ROM that you have.

What do you mean the latest CM14.1 update?
NitrogenOS and CM 14.1 ARE BOTH custom ROMs, they are NOT firmwares. Some devices were manufactured and sold with CyanogenMod as the stock firmware but CM is still predominately a custom android operating system.
And, as I said, if the update is an update to the exact same ROM as what is already installed, then all you have to do is flash it without doing any kind of wipes(this can even be done when updating stock via OTA, it's actually recommended to not do the wipes when updating stock via OTA). For example, if you have CM13 and want to update to CM14, or if you have CM14 and want to update to CM14.1 or if you have CM14.1 but want to flash a newer CM14.1 update, understand yet?
BUT!!!!
If you have some other ROM(something other than a version CM) currently installed but want to update to CM instead of what you have then you would have to factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
Let's make this simple since you can't seem to make sense of what I'm telling you. Tell me what you currently have installed and what you want to update to.

You have nitrogen OS installed on your android and if you want to install update of nitrogen OS then no need of wiping.
If you want to change to different rom ( nitrogenOS to CM) then you need to first wiping/factory resetting or clearing dalvik and cache.
So, you are changing your rom then wipe/factory reset first and then flash CM. That what @Droidriven trying to say you.
Again you are confused. ROMs like Nitrogen runs on CM firmware ( or you can call it architecture). It's not the OS again, It regarding firmware. please someone help me on this I dont want my phone to get bootlooped or any other sort of issue. FYI : I don't want CM ROM/OS. I want Nitrogen itself but want to upgrade to the latest firmware. Please check the link i had provide before replying

This is making sense now. You see, you are the one confused. You aren't asking the right question because you don't understand the difference.
You aren't looking for the "CM firmware", this does not even exist. This implies that the firmware was created by CM. It wasn't made by CM, it does not contain CM in it so it can't be called "CM FIRMWARE", it's a STOCK FIRMWARE that is COMPATIBLE with USING CM and other custom ROMs.
What you are looking for is the "stock firmware" that needs to be on your device BEFORE using CM13/14/14.1/AOSP Nougat ROMs.
The thread that you linked basically explains that if you want to use any kind of custom 7.0/7.1/7.1.1 Nougat ROMS then you need to flash this updated STOCK FIRMWARE in order for the device to be able to use those custom ROMs. It is not "CM FIRMWARE"
You're looking for the STOCK FIRMWARE that is compatible with CM and other nougat ROMs.
The thread that you linked explains what you need to know and how to do it, it says that you flash the updated firmware via TWRP and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik when you flash it.
If you are looking for a newer update than the one in that thread then you'll have to find it in a TWRP flashable .zip. If there is not a TWRP flashable zip to apply the new update then the only way to flash the new update is to flash it via PC then root the device again, install TWRP again and then flash your NitrogenOS ROM again.

I just explained what you needed to do, did you read it? It is simple, are you even reading the thread that you linked? What you are asking is irrelevant, just do what it says to do in the steps below.
1) Boot to TWRP
2) Flash the updated firmware via TWRP
3) Factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik
4) Flash NitrogenOS
5)reboot, enjoy.

1. i think there is no need for the special kernel on device specific roms. keep in mind that device specific builds wont be supported and wont get updates amymore.
2. no, you cant upgrade from cm11 to cm13 without factory reset. clean install is needed

You can install unified twrp (or any other version of twrp) without installing the kernel. The rom and the kernel you have installed are completely independent of the twrp recovery. If you want to install a unified rom with a custom kernel you must first install unified twrp, then clean flash the rom and after that flash the kernel.

Unfortunately, I can't enter the recovery mode when I flash Unified TWRP (after the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 logo, the screen goes black and remains until I restart the system). I can only enter the recovery mode when I flash device specific TWRP

@DarkDroidDev Hey, how did you extract the proprietary blobs? The instruction says that one needs to have an installable zip of LineageOS for clark, or already have the device runnning the LOS. I tried to extract it just from my stock Moto X Style with the script and it did something, but I'm not sure if it's going to work.
Edit: I'm also interested in testing the 17.1 build, since the one I'm trying to build following the instruction is 14.1 and actually it fails because of lack of some vendor files :/ But I'm also not interested in joining Telegram

Hi, chrmhoffmann. Thank you for your work. I previously tested your 20200718 upgrade. I have installed the same date recovery and the latest magisk20.4. Unfortunately the system will not start. I also tried wipe system wipe cache wipe data and reinstalled it again, but it still didn't work.
I cannot find any kind of forum for @DarkDroidDev . I also can't find a forum for @chrmhoffmann but I found the andoridfilehost link for him with his builds.
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=313335
I did a lot of trial and error and I notice that he is posting his own Lineage recovery which through Googling I find is apparently most use for updating a ROM. I am using the latest Clark TWRP 3.4.0-0 and once you install your first LOS17 you can no longer flash an updated build because TWRP seems to be unable to wipe an android 10 build.
@chrmhoffman has LOS Recovery builds that do allow you to update his LOS17 to a new build. His latest LOS recovery is named recovery.img from 8/19/20. LOS Recovery is not very functional and likewise does not even have the option to wipe. The only way I have been able to wipe these LOS builds is to flash back to stock Android 7 Moto ROM and start over fresh. I am using NPHS25.200-23 which is the last Moto ROM for Clark. I have found flashing back to stock is a good practice when moving to a new ROM and I am getting much better with practice so it is not so onerous.
So here's what I do to flash the initial working version of LOS 17 on my Clark. I have found you can use any of his builds. Thus you can start with his latest build 20200715.
Flash stock Android 7 using fastboot
Flash TWRP using fastboot
Flash 20200715 build and latest Android 10.0 Open Gapps with TWRP
This is pretty much the standard old way that we always do. Now if you want to update 20200715 with either a clean or a dirty flash when he drops a new build you cannot use TWRP to do this because you can't wipe. If you want to clean flash a new build you will have to start over with stock. If you want to update with a dirty flash then you will need LOS Recovery. Easiest way is to flash the LOS Recovery image with TWRP but you can also fastboot flash it.
Flash LOS Recovery
Update ROM from LOS Recovery.
I have been able to flash Magisk from Stock and it seems to work fine but I have not tried yet to see how LOS Recovery handles Magisk. I am looking for help from anyone with more experience than I have to explain this better and most importantly find out where discussion is happening. The ROM works beautifully and so far much better than @randomblame ROM. No boot problems, WiFi tether works great, camera is better. So far it is great. So give it a try.

I have found flashing back to stock is a good practice when moving to a new ROM and I am getting much better with practice so it is not so onerous.
So here's what I do to flash the initial working version of LOS 17 on my Clark. I have found you can use any of his builds. Thus you can start with his latest build 20200715.
Flash stock Android 7 using fastboot
Flash TWRP using fastboot
Flash 20200715 build and latest Android 10.0 Open Gapps with TWRP
This is pretty much the standard old way that we always do. Now if you want to update 20200715 with either a clean or a dirty flash when he drops a new build you cannot use TWRP to do this because you can't wipe. If you want to clean flash a new build you will have to start over with stock. If you want to update with a dirty flash then you will need LOS Recovery. Easiest way is to flash the LOS Recovery image with TWRP but you can also fastboot flash it.
Flash LOS Recovery
Update ROM from LOS Recovery.
I have been able to flash Magisk from Stock and it seems to work fine but I have not tried yet to see how LOS Recovery handles Magisk. I am looking for help from anyone with more experience than I have to explain this better and most importantly find out where discussion is happening. The ROM works beautifully and so far much better than @randomblame ROM. No boot problems, WiFi tether works great, camera is better. So far it is great. So give it a try.

From what I've seed Darkdroiddev removed Clark from his Github so I assume he is no longer working on this phone and this thread is probably dead. Randomblame hasn't posted since February. chrmhoffmann's thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...opment/unofficial-lineage-17-1-clark-t4123077 actually has a link to official Lineage gerrit which means we are well on our way to becoming official Lineage again. Meanwhile I'll keep posting LOS 14.1 for MMBL until we get there.
