So I was trying to get back to CM11 from CM12 via fastboot commands. Everything went fine until the "fastboot flash system system.img" command. It gave me an error (screenshot in the attachment). Now I'm stuck with TWRP recovery and fastboot. Can't boot in system. When I reboot the device, it boots and goes into TWRP recovery. I have CM12 backup in my device and on the PC. Can I flash that? Please help guys.

How did you install adb/fastboot? That error usually occurs because of an outdated adb/fastboot version. It's probably safe to restore your backup.

I didn't get the "how did you install adb/fastboot".
I downloaded the latest SDK bro. It's v24.3.3. I even tried the slim SDK. It would be very kind of you if you give me the link to the SDK that would work.

Did you wipe first? You'd need to perform a full wipe before flashing the zip. To do this you go to the Wipe menu in TWRP, then select Advanced Wipe, select system, data, cache, and dalvik cache, and then swipe to wipe.
Is there any reason you chose such an old build?

Usually might have to reboot recovery in TWRP before flashing. Normally with Catalyst that is what it requires me to do and all works fine.

I've applied previous OTA zips by just flashing in TWRP. However I'm getting an error this time around. I'm on the KK build ending in P, but when i try to flash Lollipop it says my build fingerprint is incorrect, that it's the KK build ending in H. Anyone have insight on why this is?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
As it says, you're not 100% stock so it won't flash
This would be due to my recovery and xposed i take it? Or strictly xposed?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Definitely Xposed, probably recovery as well
Xposed. You'll not just need to uninstall the xposed files, but the app too as ART doesn't like to boot with that app installed.
Recovery is fine. Only issue would be that an OTA.wouldnt automatically install. You'd have to manually boot into recovery to flash.

You may want to look at flashing a full ROM.zip instead as it will be much easier.

Don't flash userdata.img and your storage data will be fine. If you want to keep your custom recovery, don't flash recovery.img.

Funnily enough, recovery.img and userdata.img haha
Also you'll need to delete:
/system/recovery.init.boot.p
/system/bin/install-recovery.sh
Before boot, although flashing superSU should prevent them installing stock recovery

You listed two files i need to delete. Is that before or after flashing the img files?
I've never had a problem before, i don't get why it's failing now... Keeps saying I'm showing an old build fingerprint. Never seen this error before.
Short of being rooted, I've removed any modifications to my system. Really don't feel like wiping the whole device.

I was trying to get back to CM11 from CM12.1.1. I flashed CM11 33R; the flash was successful but it won't boot into system and was giving some process error. I tried to wipe the dalvik cache but no relieve. So I restored the CM12 backup and it was successful too but the OnePlus One went into bootloop. Please help genius minds!
Running Android 5.1.1
BTW, I forgot to mention, I did it via TWRP recovery and not fastboot.

Yes I did a full wipe. Wiped dalvik,data, cache and system. I've downgraded to CM11 before too but this never happened.
My guess would be that the needed firmware and baseband for cm11 were not flashed correctly.

The TWRP version is 3.0 0-0
The best idea would be to wipe fully (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) with TWRP, then flash the stock images for CM11S.
