Help with Flashing CM13 - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have the Moto G with Cm 12.1 nightly, can I dirty flash CM12.1 stable build onto my nightly. Im asking because I want to keep my apps, call log and viber messages therefore wiping is not really an option.
Thanks you.

Pls correct the thread name. Its not CM13

Backup your current ROM, try it yourself, if it doesnt work, restore the backup
Please dont start threads for such stupid things, read on the original thread for CM11 for xt1033

No internal memory won't get formatted. Only data and system partitions will be formatted. Its wise to take a backup but if you know what are you doing you don't have to take a backup.
If its your first time then take the backup into the pc for your own satisfaction but it's absolutely unnecessary. Anyway when once you will realise your backup is still there goes installing the rom. You will be more confident next time.
Hit thanks if helped

I think you cant revert to lower android versions right now because of changed partitions oder something like that... im not sure whats the problem! restore with cwm should help but it's a temporal fix

It's a little better, but you will find the real improvement in performance and battery life by flashing a custom kernel.

Try downloading it to your device and using install, not sideload.
Also, others have successfully flashed the zip - see the comments in the main thread. I'll check it out myself.
I am using the unofficial TWRP 2.8.4.1. Would it be because I am still on CM11 and need to flash the CM12 firmware update first?

Error still persists "error executing updater binary in zip 'sdcard/update-XenonHD-02-09-15-signed-bacon.zip'
I don't know what is causing this...I can flash other ROMs just fine.
I'm coming from stock rooted cm11s xnph05q, maybe I should flash CM12 ROM first ?

Then there's something wrong with the download possibly? Check the MD5SUM.
I just flashed a new build. I'll upload this one so you can try again with a fresh build.

The download is OK...I'll wait the new fresh build Thank you.
EDIT: SOLVED ! I've just flashed a CM12 nightly ROM and then re-flash again the XenonHD and everything worked just fine.

It worked when I flashed the bacon firmware update before I flash the rom.
Reporting back:
Your ROM is exactly what I was looking for. However, it looks like it suffers the same issues with micro-lag/stutter like the other Lollipop ROMs. Below are the steps that I took.
- full wipe
- firmware update
- rom flash
- gapp flash
- supersu flash
XenonHD
Hello I recently flash XenonHD into my OnePlus but it appears to be stuck on the XenonHD boot animation. Any suggestions? This is comming from a fresh Lilipop CM 12 nightly with 5.0 gaps.

Manually wipe (dalvik/cache/system/data) DON'T select SD storage.. Reflash rom/gapps and reboot.. It does take a bit longer to boot than some ROMs but less than 5 minutes..

First boot does take several minutes to optimize.

Are you talking about dirty flashing CM12 over CM11S? Nope, can't do that. You can only dirty flash when upgrading the same ROM (to a newer build).

Moto G LTE (XT 1045) 'No SIM' after CM 12.1 July 21st nightly

Any of the CM 12.1 nightlies after 7/21 render my device unable to recognize the SIM card--I know it is the nightly because when I roll back to 7/21 the SIM card returns to functioning. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it/can it be addressed?

Oh my, forgot to update my thread! Shortly after posting this, I discovered this thread on the CM forums: http-colon-slash-slash-forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/112969-no-sim-card-xt1039-nightly-20150723-and-20150724/. (new user, can't post links yet lol) Newer versions of CM 12.1 require you to update the radio firmware along with the bootloader. this fixed the problem exactly!
