hello everyone, i have a nexus five running cyanogenmod 12.1 and 20150529-nightly-hammerhead android version 5.1.1 with TWrp v2.8.6.1
as of yesterday i had it finding the updates for nightlies everyday. and i was updating it when i would download them. and i found that everytime i would update id lose the root. i tested this the following day. rerooting with the nexus root toolkit, then updating and found i had no root. so i rerooted and havent updated again. is there a reason why it would unroot? thanks in advanced guys!!!
1) Delete the Nexus toolkit, don't ever use it again.
2) Flash the most recent nightly.
3) Go to settings ---> developer options and enable root access.
4) Optional: download SuperSU from the Play Store.
Why is nexus tool kit bad? So should I flash nightly first then enable root or enable then flash? Its giving me apps only, adb only and then allow for both. What do I choose?

For one thing, CM isn't meant to be rooted, root access is implemented via Privacy Guard, so whatever changes NRT made are erased every time you flash the ROM.
reroot...
Rerooting wasn't done with nexus tool kit. Initially yes, for the first time. I rerouted, or atleast thought I rerooted via twrp. I guess I was wrong. But either you helped me solve the issue and I really appreciate it.
I have a different one...the one that helped me figure I wasn't rooted. Google play store keeps crashing. Giving me that error "unfortunately, google play store has stopped" what could be causing this. I've rebooted, cleared cache, cleared data, force stopped and still. I've reinstalled the gapps..and still. Any ideas? Thank you such!!
Anyone????

Which Gapps package are you using? From what I gather, some Gapps packages don't play well with CM 12.1. Try this Gapps package, it's CM official.

Hey. First, don't do what I did. I though I may have needed to flash the newest version of CWM to my Optimus T. Don't do it. It was soft bricked, and it was a pain to fix. Second; try updating your SU binary, and downloading the latest SuperUser apk from the browser. I personally haven't tried it (still recovering from brick), but it's said that it is a viable solution. If that doesn't work, your best bet is to download any version of Blackmarket Alpha, open it, and let it update itself. It pretty much has all of the same apps as the Play Store, minus the sleek UI and better sorting we both miss from the store.
Footnote: Gapps may have not flashed the applications themselves, but go to System > Accounts and check to see if Google is an option. That tells you it's atleast half way working. If you can, download the Play Store .apk, and repeat the second thing I told you above.
Best of luck,
Rob

Hello, i also have an LG Optimus One P500 using the same ROM version and gapps don't install either. The browser doesn't work (it starts and right after it closes, if i push the off button to shutdown the screen and then i reopen it, it does not lock. Anyway, this problem appears only with build 5 version. I hope someone/somebody will fix it, till then i'll stick with build 4. Thank you for your time.

Did you use the smaller version of gapps or the Generic one? One of the problems with 4.x is that it's so big there isn't room for all the Google apps. If you used the 88MB version then try the gapps-jb-light-20120804-signed.zip version (55MB) and see if that one works. I saw several Optimus V folks with the same issue and using a chopped down version worked for them. The problem is that there isn't enough internal storage for both the ROM and the full gapps package.

Really? I did put CM10.2 on my phone, really like it. So I checked your recommendations on the phone. Yeah, just what you said, root adb and applications. My phone is enabled and I never lost root on it. You get a Thanks.
Now how to update to 10.2 on the Tab. CWM only lets you flash one zip at a time where Safe Strap will allow you to stack the rom and gapps. I got CWM Pro and don't see anyway to flash more than one zip at a time and this gave a system 7 error. The update is there in about phone, if I allow unstable and nightlies, but installing it dumps me into recovery. Safe Strap on phone, piece of cake. One zip at a time in ClockworkMod, not so easy. Any ideas?
Awesome. I went into CWM Rom Manager and decided to use TWRP instead of CWM, used the update in Settings/About Phone/Update. It did work! But everything is crashing, I had to install new gapps. So I went back and flashed the new gapps. Problem is, playstore is broke, errors everytime it tries to install or update, would not connect at all until new gapps. Wiped data, still not working right. Others had this problem, any ideas on how to restore playstore functionality? Thanks, you guys rock!
Found the answer here, and it works!
I tried everything form everywhere. Nothing worked until I did this. Following the steps below.
RPC:AEC:0 error is known as CPU/RAM/Device/Identity failure.
Only possible way you can follow to get rid off this error is,
Go to settings ? application ? Play Store ? Clear Data & Clear Cache.
Go to accounts ? Google ? Remove account.
Reboot device.

I got a Nexus 5 been using CM on it for a while now. Currently i have 11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8
the build date is july 8. I've been getting CM update for a new version for like a month now, tried installing it a couple of times, when i press to reboot and install it says it installed it, and after the phone reboots, it's still the same old version, and i keep getting the notification to upgrade, but i can't.
So I waited for another new build, thinking this is just some bug in the update. Yesterday a new version prompted for a update, but the same happened. So i tried to download the zip from CM website and flash it on recovery manually. And i got an error:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. (Status 7) installation aborted.
I used to update with no problems, but I seem to be stuck on the july 8 build.
Anyone else dealing with this, or know how to fix this?
Is your bootoader up-to-date? CM often require you to have latest bootloader
No. I haven't upgraded it. I've found multiple threats about it, I'm not sure which one is the right to do so. As i'm not really familiar with this kind of stuff.
EDIT: My BL version is HHZ11K. From what i gathered it's the most recent one.

Sounds like you're dirty flashing but something in your current set up has been corrupted. You may need to factory reset or do a clean install.

problems updating monthly snapshots of CM
Hi, I have been looking everywhere to see why I am having difficulties updating Cyanogen snapshots every month. I found this post but I don't really know if it pertains to my problem. I have a google rooted nexus 5 and every month when I try to update my phone begins acting up. It starts saying unfortunately google play services has stopped working. I see my apps trying to install but all I get are error notification icons at the top and they won't download. I posted on g+ and someone says it has to do with titanium. Im at a loss. Its very frustrating as I've tried almost everything I can think of to no avail. I try to go to the playstore and it's like I have no connection. I do have and use titanium backup for the apps I want to restore. I spoke to someone that has the same phone and he tells me to just flash the update without wiping but it doesn't work for me. I don't know if its a setting I'm missing on titanium or what it is but it sucks. With the 2 last updates this has happened. Leaving me with no option but to download the CM snapshot along with gapps. Wipe my phone and flash both the snapshot and gapps and start from scratch. I hope you can help me. Hopefully I'm in the right place. Tx you

So here is what i would try to do. reboot into recovery. do a factory reset, make sure you backup your files as this cleans them. And then make the update from the updater or download it manually from cm website.

Almost what I did, i l always do a nandroid backup before flashing anything in recovery, I downloaded the snapshot and the gapps, wiped, and installed snapshots along with gapps. So your telling me to just do a backup in recovery before updating that it cleans my files, then without wiping to try to update just the CM update from either my phone or their website? No gapps? Will try next time thanks.
Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-19300 8GB running on Anroid 4.3, rooted and custom ROM Manager installed. Recently all Google Play services have stopped working. I literally can't do anything. I can' t log in, can't use Youtube, can't open the Play store because it gives me the No connection- retry error, of course. I heard it was because of Freedom. I deleted the app and tried to re-install it... but I cannot even install apk files; not any kind of apk file. I tried to force-install it with an android terminal, but that doesn't work either. Aptoide also does not want to install anything. I basically deleted the cache for every google app & I uninstalled all updates; but all in vain. Nothing seems to work except for Whatsapp and the actual internet browser. Please help me, I really need my phone to work properly.
Thanks in advance, any kind of help is appreciated

Download your stock ROM. Put it in your pc and then flash it using Odin.
U may also need to flash gapps using your custom recovery.

Ok. You have got the answer in this thread
But before that just try to do a factory data reset
If you have some important data, take a nandroid backup
And then do a factory data reset
And I may be a foolish in this but I am considering it because everything may be possible here, enable the background data if it is disable

Well, okay, I guess that's my only option, I have reflashed the Stock ROM and that hasn't fixed my problem either. Factory data reset it will be. I'll come back to you whenever I have done the data reset. I really hope this'll fix the problem, because I don't want to do a factory data reset at all. :/

Yeah I could do that, but I would like to understand whats going wrong in present case, I have had flashed CM11 many times since past 4 yrs but never faced such an issue.
I even installed TWRP and SuperSU latest version and also Old versions, I tried installing old versions of apps, but phone keeps crashing! Wonder whats wrong?!
Is this a firmware issue?(Tried flashing firmwares too)
or Partitions gone bad?
I tried searching but couldnt find any resource on how to recreate partitions.
Can anyone help please?

Clean flash this cm11 nightly+gapps you like.
Make sure you use latest twrp.
Same issue here. Happens not to all apps though. Just particular ones after updating certain apps. Not sure what happened. Only solution is to avoid installing those kind of apps.
