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
Hi all,
I have an Galaxy Note Edge type SM-N915FY with custom rom installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-micky387-rom-v1-0-t2998972
My phone is running on android 5.0.1 with kernel: 3.10.30-andrei-N915F-BOC6-v1.0
Baseband-version: N915FYXXU1BOB5
Yesterday I was trying to install the newer custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-micky387lollifamous5-1-1v1-t3200849
To make sure this will work, I needed to flash the TWRP , after I tried to flashed this using Odin, the phone got in a Bootloop. So I flashed the older TWRP again and my phone is booting again.
So I tried to clear the cache, but then I get the error: Unable to mount \cache, I didn't know how to solve this so I reflashed the TWRP again through Odin, but still the same issue.
Do you guys know how I could install another custom rom? My phone is rooter, just to make sure.
Thanks in advance.
nobody?

To move on to newer custom ROMs (based on 5.1.1), you need to download and flash Stock 5.1.1, which you can download from here, then you can root it, to get the necessary files for doing so, check this thread out.
Credits for TWRP, new ROMs and the possibility of root on 5.1.1 go to micky387.
You Saved me. After I flashed the original android 5.1.1 I was able to flash TWRP and install custom rom.
Many thanks!
Hi All,
Background:
Installed TWRP recovery to downgrade to KitKat from Android ver 5.0.2 / COS 12.0 YNg1TAS17L
( I guess the changes in lollipop made me to do so).
But after installing TWRP, for some reason or other I did nothing and now the issue is the OTA are not getting installed. From other similar thread I know that we can download the OTA zip and install through TWRP and I am not looking to get into that...as I am giving this device to my family.
Help Required:
1) Is there a way to uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery without losing any data?
( Is it as simple as flashing recovery image from the Stock ROM?)
2) Using the OnePlus tool kit can we flash the stock ROM which will also restore the stock recovery?
(If so is it possible to flash the latest ROM 5.1.1 or CM12.1)
I just need guidance here with steps on what will be the best and safe approach without frying up my device.
Please suggest

Numerous other threads on the same subject... I don't understand why you are not ready to flash the OTA through TWRP but you are through stock recovery... It's the same thing... Don't use toolkit, they are the ones, in 99% of the cases, that "fry" your phone... As soon as TWRP is installed no OTA will automatically, you will have to flash them manually.
Hi Currently I am having Honor 4c with Kitkat 4.4.2 (V100R001C636B160) version I wanted to Upgrade my android version to Marshmallow(CHM-U01C432B560) or any other custom ROM. I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
Hello Everyone
I have installed TWRP 3.1.0 on my galaxy s2 and also Lineage 14.1 . So far so good . It wasn't that hard to install custom rom and recovery but i got an issue which is upgrading TWRP 3.1.0 to the latest version 3.2.3 . I did everything correct but it just does not update to latest version. Once i installed the recovery image then rebooted , TWRP disappeared and stock recovery showed up. I also installed TRWP app (installed img and flash to recovery etc.. ) as well but nothing worked.
My question is does Galaxy s2 support latest TWRP or is there anything else that i should do ? Please if you can share any solution to solve this or any suggestion to update TWRP to latest version.
Thank you

Are you using iso-rec recovery?
There is a specific combination that is required to flash TWRP on your device.
I'm assuming that you have used the re-PIT created by @Lanchon, since you have LOS installed. The way the recovery is handled on your device is it is packaged into the kernel bundle, I believe, so it isn't flashed to the stock recovery partition, it is flashed in another location where the iso-rec recovery was originally flashed. When you tried to update your TWRP, you probably corrupted how that is structured and it reverted back to stock recovery instead of booting TWRP because, as far as I know, the stock recovery is still installed in its native recovery partition, even after flashing iso-rec recovery. Find an updated iso-rec version of TWRP for i9100

TWRP issue for galaxy s2 i9100
Hi Droidriven
Thank you very much for responding my message , i'm using iso-rec recovery 3.1.0 right now and i followed these steps to install it ;
1 - I9100 _1.5GB system _6gb data _ 512MB PRE-LOAD by gangster .pit
2 - IP KERNEL 14-03-CWM - FOR + ODIN ( via odin )
and then
lanchon 20160406 I9100 + twrp 3.1.0 .
I did everything correct with istallation of twrp 3.1.0 and LOS
I'm wondering how can i upgrade twrp 3.1.0 to 3.2.3 ?
I thought galaxy s2 does not support latest version of twrp recovery . TWRP 3.1.0 is the only latest version that works for galaxy s2. Is that correct or is there any other way to update twrp to latest version on galaxy s2 ? Because i installed twrp app , did everything ( flashing img rebooting etc. ) it did not update to latest version. Please can you tell me if you know how to upgrade to latest version . i'll be appreciated . Thanks again for responding .
Have a nice day.
Thank you

I don't think you can use the standard version of TWRP that would be downloaded from the TWRP website or via the TWRP Manager app. It has to a TWRP that has been made to be compatible with iso-rec recovery/kernel.
If you still have the file that you used to install iso-rec TWRP 3.1.0, maybe you can extract that file, remove the 3.1.0 .img and replace it with the latest TWRP.img then rezip the file and try flashing that.

Hi Droidriven
To be honest i've never thought about extracting file , removing the img and replacing with the latest one. That is a good idea actually . Maybe It could work . I'll try that.
Thank you so much for your quick replies. You have been great and helpful. I really appreciate that.
Thanks again
