[Q] Updating the Cyanogen Mod 10 (Xperia J)

Hi everyone,
First of all I would like to mention that I really searched and obviously I did not find anything, so please do not spank me for not trying (I used search box and google).
Here's my question, I already have on my beloved Xperia J a version of Cyanogen Mod 10, but I would like to know if in case of update I have to repeat the same process (flashing the boot.img using flashtool etc.), or maybe even downgrading back to ICS, or do I have to only download the Cyanogen Mod 10 and press the update button in recovery menu? I am wondering about that because previously I had HTC Wildfire and back then everything was much much easier.

You just download new fxp cm10 version and flash it through cwm recovery.. without wipe data partition...without flashing ics...

What about installed apps and data? Is everything there after update?

I was having issues flashing the 38R OTA binary, but this stock ROM solution circumvented that :good:.
Used TWRP custom recovery, root maintained, no issues.
Thanks @Calkulin et al

So I flashed Calkulin's awesome stock ROM I see that here in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
There is version 2.13 update for superSU. If I just flash the zip from there would the rom still be OTA safe? Is this essentially what Calkulin did with version 2.02 superSU in the first place? Thanks in advance.

Is this ROM OTA Safe?? I mean can i update via OTA if i flashed this ROM????

Yes

not able to update to 38R on rooted 33R
i have rooted my Oneplus One 33R version.
can anyone help me to update to 38R without loosing my apps & data.
step by step illustration would be very helpful (with images & links if possible).

Thnx man, downloading!
Srry, wrong thread I noticed :x

I am already in CM11s 25R. Can I use the current CM11 recovery and run your zip directly from recovery?
Another question,
would my oneplus still allow me to flash from recovery to stock 25R version after installing this XNPH38R version? I am reading some bad reviews about 38R and I would like to ensure that I can go back to 25R if I won't like 38R.

Calkulins stock rooted safe?
Hi,
My operator closed my data with warnings that is been hacked and abuse by criminals... I used Calkulins R38 v1.0 to update from R33 to R38 (had franco in already then). So how to check if there is no backdoor of something in this zip... I have root rights only for FKU beta, GSam, TWRP and MyProfiles.
I already started monitorin IP traffic, have not noticed anything weird ip's that device is connecting via wifi, ofc cant use mobile data anymore cos its been shut down (for real). So its the rooted stock or some of those applications... nothing else is new from my previous phone app-vise.
Ah, been running this compo for few days without updated only from play store... latest was Francos FKU beta updater... hmmm.?
Any ideas how to check more, tried even those lame virus scanners available...
Cheers!

Can someone give instructions how to flash it? Take into account that i have problem booting into custom recovery. I opened a thread into one plus forum for this (it is called " how to root opo with 38r") but i can't put the link here because i have less than 10 posts.

how can i install if i am not root?

Switching around ROMs last few days, this one works flawlessly. Came from an other ROM which had several bugs. TWRP is the recovery I am using. No problems at all installing it. Thanks to the author of this

Can I just download this straight to my phone?

You r great man
Hi there man,
I Thought my OPO was dead because I made a complete (I mean complete) erase of all kind of data. However I installed TWRP before making that thing, but I tried a lot of ROMs (including Offical ROM) and most of them showed the message (MD5 not found). However your version was great, and worked properly.
Thanks Man. You saved me some bucks. Thanks a lot.

Waiting for Calkulin to apply his magic on the latest OTA release!

Does this wipe device data?

Does this wipe device data?

Does it come with gapps?

Hi all
I just received my OPO last friday.
As soon as i booted up, the OTA update came up, i accepted and installed the update. My phone booted to TWRP recovery (which i had just flashed minutes before) and applied the .zip, but it never rebooted.
Now my phone just have a black screen and there is no way to turn it on. I can feel the vibrate when i hold in the power button, like if it started, but the screen stays dark.
When i plug the phone into the charger, it only vibrates and nothing happens. The screen is all black.
When i plug it into my PC, it's not even recognized.
What the hell did i do wrong, and how do i fix it?!
I'm kinda desperate as i received my OPO last friday, and I really want it up and running!!
Thank you

Maybe u didn't unlock ur bootloader.

I think any custom ROM can't replace the MIUI camera, i tried CM 12.1 but camera is very upset in terms of picture clarity as well camera app is very laggy and some times gets hang and wont response. Not able to dare to try custom ROMs due to this reason.
It would be really very great if anyone can able to port MIUI camera to these custom ROMs.

Try version 4 of the toolkit.
That worked for me.
Also, make sure you do exactly as the desctiption says, don't change the order of actions (as i did) because then it will not work.
First make sure that you pc has the right drivers (or use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
Then use v4 from this link and use the right order (http://en.miui.com/thread-117336-1-1.html)
So first TWRP then root (if you still need it).

Mi4i going into bootloop after flashing CM based roms!
I have tried almost all of the custom roms(latest ones) available for Xiomi mi 4i but neither of them actually worked for me. Whenever i flash the roms, it gets installed correctly and when it asks for language selection, it shuts off. I have tried flashing with both twrp and cwm, cleared cache, dalvik cache but problem never solved. I think the CM has some serious problems with this devices.

Mine is not directly going into boot loop.
Sometimes it works a few minutes (up to 20 or so), but it will shut down.
When connected to power it does NOT shut down, but still.
I tried yesterday the CM 12.1 version from Smoki3 from july 30th and that seems to work, but i did not have any time any more, so i had to restore my nadroid backup.
Will try it later again (maybe tomorrow) if that really does work, or if it was just to short time for it to shut down.

I think I was using developer rom and flashed CM on it directly so the problem occured. I read somewhere on a forum that you should flash it on global rom. I tried it with ASOPA-L rom as it was having the same problem and it worked flawlessly. Now going to try it with latest CM rom.
One thing I noticed the camera quality is better in ASOPA-L but this rom lacks performance mode.

I'm experiencing bad speaker sound after installing this ROM. Is there any way to fix that.
Sent from my Mi 4i using Tapatalk

I'm absolutely loving this rom. I've no idea why xiaomi let's miui be so slow and laggy. This room feels great and everything runs/opens so much faster and it looks fantastic. Cmon Xiaomi, step up your game, miui is way too heavy.
Like other people have mentioned, the only downside to not having miui is the camera. I've tried a bunch of others and the quality is greatly reduced compared to the miui camera. Please someone, please port miui 6 camera!!! PLEASE!! I'll be your best friend.

Whenever i boot ..it turns off...pls hlp
Thanks in advance

i also experienced the same problem when i was on miui 7 beta... i was able to flash twrp recovery but failed to flash custom ROMs... after that i reverted back to miui6 6.6.10.0 by using fastboot... and then again flashed twrp using mi toolkit v4 and succeeded in flashing custom ROM... this works 100%.Keep in mind that u can't flash a custom ROM..if u r on later version of 6.6.10.0

[Completed] Help w/ Installing CWM on Z3V

Hello, after a good two weeks of frustration and a soft-bricked phone, I'm happy to say that I've finally managed to root my first phone, with huge thanks to various threads on here.
I now, however, have run into another problem. Firstly, I'm using an Xperia Z3V, Android version 4.4.4 w/ build 23.0.E.0.376. I've downloaded BusyBox, ROM manager, ROM Toolbox Lite, and Titanium Backup (all suggested from another thread here). What I'm trying to accomplish is setting up a recovery w/ CWM, but according to ROM manager, my phone isn't supported, nor can I update my ROM (which I'm assuming is because I'm on stock ROM).
How would I go about getting CWM? Would I need Cyanogen, or another ROM in general? Or is the Z3V currently just not supported? Is it necessary to have CWM if I, say, just plan on using my phone for normal activities (I.E., Facebook, YouTube, Emails, etc.). The only thing outside of normal use would be upgrading to Marshmallow.
Thank you, again, for the tremendous help.

Hi
As explained here, XZDualRecovery should work fine on your device.

Good luck :fingers-crossed:

[Completed] Bootloop problem on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100)

Hello!
I have the following problem and after countless searches over many forums I ended up finding no answer:
About 4-5 months ago my P5100 started to restart itself after 1 or 2 minutes of functioning properly (restarts even faster if i try to connect over Wi-Fi or install an app). I thought that if I leave it for a while everything will be ok, it wasn't the case so I started trying to fix it. Before I go on I mention that my P5100 was rooted , running CWM version 5.5 and CM10(10.1.3), i haven't messed with the rom, recovery, firmware etc. for more that one year and a half so it started all of a sudden. I tried everything starting from simply updating the CM version to ADB commands and finally flashing back to the stock firmware with Odin. The wipe data/factory reset didn't work neither in recovery nor commands, I even tried to delete everything via Internal Storage in my pc through USB. Every time it reverts itself to the point it was left before although everything seemed to work just fine no errors or so. It doesen't remember after reboot any setting I made or any app that i installed(if I manage to install one) it is like i didn't do anything at all to it. :crying:
Many thanks for taking your time to read my thread and maybe help me:laugh:
