Is that wise? Going from a KK based rom (CM11), to a L based rom (CM12)?
I'd advise user to wipe data, maybe even update to stock LRX22C and from there, flash twrp and cm12.
If he has a clean CM11 installation he can easily flash CM12 without wiping anything.
If you're on stock ROM and apply the OTA update you're also going from KitKat to Lollipop without wiping anything.
Official statement:
You can flash CM12 nightlies directly from CM11 M12 or CM 11 nightlies (no need to wipe), provided you read and followed items 1 and 2

The OP's question was whether you could flash CM12 over CM11, not whether or not it would boot up
@Lethargy: That answer made my day :'D
hello everyone
I have XT926 (verizon one)
my phone system version is 183.46.10
I have rooted my phone using towelroot and unlocked bootloader
now whats next?
latest firmware update (183.46.15) notification is bugging me, should i install it through ota in this condition or directly move to installing custom roms. if install this ota without unrooting, will my phone enter bootloop?
which recovery is recommended for android 5.0 on kk bootloader.

Here ist what i have experienced:
I was on System Version: 181.46.3
Well nevertheless:
It was the most recent version i could get and i wanted to get back to Android L.
I installed CM12 the Following way, I had a lot of problems with that. So here is my experience and everything:
So you need to know, to install CM12 or other CM12 based ROMS you first need to have CM11 installed.
Newer Versions of the recovery might be having problems installing CM11, so i would recommend using PhilZ Touch Recovery. It was working for me.
1st: install PhilZ recovery
2nd: factory reset
3rd: install cm11 (Unified Build, due to no up-to-date-build for XT925)
4th: boot
5th: install latest TWRP XT925/TWRP XT926
6th: factory reset
7th: install CM12 XT925 / CM12 XT926 or other CM12 based ROM
8th: install Gapps
9th: wipe cache/dalvik cache
10: Boot
11: Have fun.
Possible problems:
"This package is for moto_msm8960, xt907, scorpion_mini, smq, xt926, vanquish, this is a xt925" ------> You got a problem with the Recovery, it is too new. Try PhilZ
CM12 Booting, inconsistent Data partition stuff error ---------> you did not install cm11 and did not wipe Data before installing CM12, when coming from Blur Rom
Bootloop ---------> no wiping or you did not install cm11 before installing CM12
I hope this might have helped you.

Heyho
I have an XT925.
I installed the msm8960 Build.
The Reason i used the unified Build was, there is no KKBL build for the xt925.
thanks again, onto the procedure now
just last thing, which version of philz recovery you installed, download link has latest one @esok44

If you come frome OTA Kitkat 4.4.2
you have to change Step 1st: install PhilZ recovery ------ to ------ Install TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img instead then you can flash the CM 11
If you like philz_touch_6.58.7-moto_msm8960.img recovery (it can mount external Memory Card as USB) you can flash it after all installations after Point 11. The only thing that you cannot start directly to recovery from CM 12.1
I am currently on EuphoriaOS May 3 with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and want to revert back to Final Mahdi 4.4.4. What is the procedure to do this?
Your going to need to flash the KitKat firmware before flashing the ROM. You can flash the last cyanogenmod snapshot CM11 build. It has the firmware built in. Then wipe again and flash mahdi/4.4.4 gapps. You can find those on android file host.
I have an XT1032 converted to GPE running Android 5.1 and TWRP recovery. Can someone please guide me how would I install CM 11? My understanding is that I can't just flash it from recovery right?
Edit: I mean cm 12 not 11.
I want to MotoG 1039 update to CM13 now there cm12.1 on the devices.
If I cm13 + gapps installed in TWRP 2.8.7.0 and reboot I get to see that according to Andriod is updated. Then the devices will reboot and stand them in a boot loop.
Have 41.1A bootloader and TWRP 2.8.7.0
What am I doing wrong
You have moto g aka peregrine (the model with 4G connection) you have installed cm13 nightly for falcon? Try this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-beanstalk-6-03-12-27-2015-t3280520
I have peregrine(XT1039) device. Have the proper install are those that the site and the OTA update file from CM12.1.
But I will install this rom but rather I CM ROM
