[Q] Urgent CM 12.1 Issue! - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
Thank you all for reading this...
Today, I wanted to update my phone from cm-12.1-20150429-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip to cm-12.1-20150502-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip and after optimizing all 199 applications the lock screen appeared and everything seemed fine. However a second later, a pop-up appeared delivering the crash of the google play services. After pressing on "ok" (the only option), the phone switched off and began optimizing the apps again and again, showing the boot sequence in-between. After a while, I tried to install the update again through TWRP and I failed again. Then I tried to restore my backup from the 19th April I had probably made with Nandroid Backup (not exactly sure) and I failed again. Now I have turned off my phone entirely so that it won´t get too hot.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue (preferably without wiping)? And do you think, should I stay with the nightlies or switch to Cyanogen OS 12 (how?)
Best regards from the android newbie,
George (ambach10)

Try reflashing slim's gapps package.

Thanks for helping me. I did, but it just continued to optimize. I also tried to install the newest cm12.1 update "cm-12.1-20150505-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip" by downloading it via a mac (is that a problem?) so that it would work with the newest gapps zip but I couldn´t even download the cm12.1 zip as it turned into a useless folder. Do you, or anyone else, know what to do know? I´m really frustrated that I cannot have access to my phone. I am also ready to wipe it, if necessary.

Follow this steps to first turn on your phone https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-how-to-revert-back-to-cm11s-from-oxygen-guide.290605/
It's CM11S.
Easy way to revert back.

I've had this issue before. To fix it, I used these gapps, did a full wipe, then flashed everything all over again and it was working without any problems.
Also, I ended up just switching over to COS12 and am still running that. If you want, you can get that here.

Also, make sure you are running latest version of TWRP recovery (or whatever recovery you are using)... there are compression incompatibilities with some of the older versions.

Thanks everybody!
Thank you all for helping me out:
@frieked I have twrp v2.8.5.1. Is that ok and if not how can i update that?
@The_Symbiote should i install the apps before the full wipe and is there something not to wipe (USB_OTG)?
@Mr hOaX does it also work for cm12.1 nightlies or only for oxygenos?

I wiped everything other than Internal Storage, flashed the rom, flashed the gapps, and then rebooted and it booted just fine.

[Q] System rom and update binary Superuser

After flashing EOS nightly v260 on my Xoom (which is performing great) I noticed that in Titanium all the free system rom is gone.
Also when I open Superuser it is requesting for an update of the binary, but that keeps failing.
I have twrp 2.5 running on my xoom.
I cannot ask this direct on the developers thread because of the 10 mails rule.

DId you install the EOS XOOM only GAAPS? It leaves room in the system.

Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes I did use gapps-jb-20130413-EOS-Xoom-only.
I am using SuperSU without any problems. You may want to change to it.
You can try going to recovery, wipe your system, install it again and try flashing the LATEST nightly. Good luck

[Q] - No Calls or SMS OxygenOS or CM12

OK I am having a problem, when i rooted and followed the direction to install both OxygenOS or CM12 nightly I am unable to receive any SMS or phone calls except after a reboot. Once i reboot any saved messages come through and then once the phone sleeps it stops. I have rolled back to CM11S for the time being. Any steps or tricks to follow to get this issue resolved.
"followed the direction to install both OxygenOS or CM12 nightly" does it mean you are using Multiboot?

No just flashing either one I have this result. Not sure if I am doing something wrong in the process.
Steps:
Wipe all but internal
Flash Rom (then gapps if CM12)
Flash SU
Reboot

Well all i could suggest it, also please flash the CM12 firmware once. In theory oxygenOS and CM12 firmwares are compatible. So flash like this:
Install CM12 fimrware zip
Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik etc without Internal memory
Flash Rom Zip
Flash Gapps
Flash SuperSu
and then let it boot and settle down. Before restorign apps or data, check for any issues again
seems to be sitting stable at the moment, will keep testing. but thanks for the input.

Great! Let me know if the bug persists. And be careful with firmwares. For CM12 roms, just flash the firmware once and you're good to go for all of then.

spoke too soon, after letting the phone sit ideal for a few hours and testing incoming calls\sms nothing came through. restored a backup of CM11S, for the week to have a working device. will keep trying to get to a root cause later in the week. will also open a help ticket with OnePlus to see if there is something I am missing as well since this happens with OxygenOS as well.

GAPPS issue for CM12.1 update

Hi All,
I am using Samsung S2 GT-I9100 device with CM12.1. Earlier I was using KitKat and recently updated to Lollypop. While I was on KitKat got an update for CM12.1 Nightly and updated my phone to Lollypop. After that all my Gapps have stopped working and even I have tried to flash them through recently available Gapps packages, none of the Gapps are working.
Please suggest the fix.
Thanks!!

get the update from cm site, and a lollipop gapps. wipe cache, dalvic cache, and system only in advanced menu, then flash rom and gapps.
no data will be lost. make a backup first, in case there is a problem.
Thanks for your input. Just querying, if i will flash only the gapps will it work as my phone is already have lollipop os. Just trying to avoid to flash lollipop again.
Please let me know your thoughts.

really nothing will change by doing it the way i said, unless you made a bunch of system mods.
you can try it your way, it may work.
my way just gives you a clean system, so there is no chance of conflict with the old gapps that dont work properly.

Can i flash using default cyanogen recovery? I have tried installing CWM but it is going by default to Cyanogen Recovery. Could you please help in providing the steps for easy reference if possible.

i wasnt aware cyanogen had their own recovery. not knowing anything about it, i cant speculate if you can use it to flash with.
the procedure i described in post 2 are the proper steps, but if you dont have those options in the cyan recovery, im not sure what to tell you. sorry

Blu Pure XL Help

Hello, i rooted my phone today using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3269447 post.
After i did this i tried installing the xposed framework. I downloaded a bunch of different ones and they didn't work so i pressed wipe cache/dalvik and then when i rebooted it, it just shows the first boot screen, just the white one. And it just stays there.
I can still enter recovery and boot loader. Can someone please help me with this?
do you have twrp 2.8 or 3 installed?
3 has issues with wipes and partitions... did you let it finish or did you stop it in middle of wipe (3.0 takes FOREVER, and if you stop it, it corrupts partitions)
so 1st step is install twrp 2.8 if you are using 3+... use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/development/twrp-twrp-blu-pure-xl-allview-x2-xtreme-t3269596
then load this nandroid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/rom-blu-pure-xl-stock-rom-t3382722
if that doesnt work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/help/guide-unbrick-softbricked-blu-pure-xl-t3371981
sp flash is the hardcore fix it no matter what factory new route... read THE WHOLE thread if the BLU nandroid doen't fix it for you...
Also as far as Xposed goes, you'll want the latest SDK 22 version that's ARM64. I don't usually clear cache after I install Xposed, works fine.
@tbirdguy Hey man long time no see. There's a flaw in your response... Lol jk
Thanks for the help but I fixed it I just flashed the boot recovery and system part of the allure rom. And after that it still didn't work so I flashed the whole rom. Now it works fine

If you don't mind can you please share a link to the download? I've downloaded 9 different Xposed zip files and none of them worked.
This is the one I use.

Google Maps reboot my phone on any ROM that I have tried for 7.X

Everytime I try and use Google Maps either flashed with gapps/bean or installed later from play store all reboot my phone. Stock does not have any issue.
Tried:
ASOP-CAF
ASOP-EX
MOTOPURE
Lineage
TESLA
I just wonder why if the stock maps app works on 6.0 why not on 7.0?? The only thing I can think of is the GPS.
Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks!
Tried nano, pico and full for ARM and Android 7
open_gapps-arm-7.1-full-20170523
open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170511
open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170513
also BeansGapps-Full-7.1.x-20170509 BeansGapps-Mini-7.1.x-20170509
Ok I have found that other maps reboot the phone too. Tried a GPS test app from play store and soon as I allowed it to access my location it rebooted. So it seems to be definately a GPS issue.

Return to stock by fastboot the lastest images available, flashing everything including the wipes (of course, skip gpt.bin and bootloader.bin if necessary), then take the lastest OTA's, verify operation of GPS... After that install TWRP, backup everything, and flash a ROM and Gapps, do not restore anything and test again.
I can't see how GPS would work with stock and not with ANY custom ROM...

Thanks for helping me, do you mean bootloader.img?
Ok done reflash stock, OTA's and checked gps is fine now backing up... going to use the PureNexus rom or ASOP-CAF
ARRRRRGGGGG Same damn issue... Maps crashes the phone.... so frustrating I am going to give up soon and stick with stock.
Going to try an get a logfile maybe someone can take a look at it
Thanks
ok after phone crashed the first time I rebooted a couple times and its working!!!!!!!!
Thanks to @acejavelin and @Vikas Tewatia for trying to help me with this issue.
I think one of the problems was the way I was wiping after stock to install a custom ROM, instead of just standard TWRP wipe I was using individual selections?
Anyways I am going to further test and then report back. I will close this thread once I am sure everything is working.
Thanks

The recommended way to wipe before installing a ROM is to manually wipe system, data, caches, and internal storage (kind of optional, make sure to move TWRP backups and other info to SD card first), then flash ROM and Gapps. Some people say flash ROM, boot, then shutdown and flash Gapps, but I have never had to do that.
I would be curious to see a logcat of the crash... this is not normal. Are you installing ANYTHING else besides the ROM and Gapps at this point?

I started a bug report (interactive) when I tried to use the maps again but thats when it started working properly. lol
If you know of a way to get logs from the first crash off my phone I would be more than happy to send it to you.
I did a twrp standard wipe this time rather than each partition under advanced wipe, I didn't install anything other than a ROM and either gapps or bean depending on the ROM creators suggestion and that's it!

You can use ADB to get real-time logging of the crash on your PC... Use Google to find the command.

Sent you logcat via pm thanks again!
Well I started getting random reboots in Pure Nexus ROM and so tried LOS and right away I had the reboot from Maps. I give up, staying with stock.
Thanks
Seems like one of my problems could be ASOP-CAF ROM as the version I was flashing uses a custom Kernel that has known issues with 7.1.2 and causes bootloops and crashes. The UltraDev kernel changes some things in the modem and could be why any roms I tried after flashing ASOP-CAF would not change the modem and were 7.1.2 based.
Anyways...
Well I think I have tried almost every 7.x ROM I can find and every single one has a problem with any gps app on my phone.

Check out this bug report. It might be your APNs... https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-248
By messing with my APN settings as per above bug report I can use maps and have no more random reboots. Woop woop
