Wilson3q CM12 to MIUI 7 - Xiaomi Mi 4i

Hello all,
I want to move from CM12 (Wilsons3q) to the latest MIUI 7 Global Stable. Im having a problem getting my phone recognized through the MiFlash program I originally used to get to CM12. I go into fastboot mode on the phone but the program does not recognize the phone. Ive tried this on 2 different computers. I installed the universal ADB drivers and still nothing. Does anyone know why the phone isnt recognized anymore?
I searched through the previous topics and found no answer to my question. Thanks guys

Solved.
Turns out all I had to do was flash the .zip from MIUI with TWRP recovery
It failed the first time so I did it a second time and it worked great.
Leaving this here for anyone else who may run into the same question/ problem

you flash the update zip through twrp recovery?

NO! Dont flash the update.zip
Download the global version from miui.
the name of what I flashed was "miui_MI4iGlobal_V7.1.1.0.LXIMICK_15c5da242c_5.0.zip"

Oh I see. I didn't know you were using stock recovery. Im not sure completely, but im assuming that would be safe.
Edit: on second thought, maybe not. I dont have enough information about your situation, what ROM are you running now? im not sure how the stock recovery interacts with different ROMS

CM10 Stable Version OTA

Just got an OTA from CM that says a stable build (CM10.0.0) is ready to be installed. My phone is currently running the 1109 nightly.
Has anyone gotten this and successfully installed? I'm about to try it, but wonder if we still need to flash the boot.img first, or if the actual OTA takes care of that. Would be completely awesome if it does.
If you have the old hboot then you can just ota. If you have the new one, fastboot flash boot.img
Sent from my HOX running Cyanogenmod 10
I'm currently running the CM10 nightly from 10/11 and tried the OTA upgrade to the stable version. Well, once I flashed the new version my wifi wouldn't turn on.
It's the same problem I've had previously. My wifi works fine on the 10/11 nightly, but anything after that and my wifi just won't turn on. It shows that it's off in my settings and when I try to turn it on it just hangs and never turns on.
No one else seems to be having this problem so I'm not sure what's going on. I would love to upgrade to the stable build but I need wifi to work. I ended up having to reflash the older ROM and Gapps, so my wifi is working fine now.
Anyone else have problems turning wifi on with the new version??
Thanks. Installed with TWRP and everything is working great.
Just didn't realize that CM even pushed OTAs. A coworker also got an OTA on his GS3 today and installed that way with no problem. They don't have the extra boot.img step to deal with.

Does this mean I need to wipe like I did the first time I installed CM10 or is there a way to do this as an update without losing apps and settings?
Also, is there a way to do this directly on the phone or does it need to be done over USB like I did with the initial ROM install? Sorry, this is my first update since rooting recently. I'd like to make sure I do this correctly.

You shouldn't lose apps or settings, but never hurts to do a backup anyway.
If you rooted from the 2.20 firmware: download the rom from CM and extract the boot.img file on the computer. Then put the two on the phone's sd card. From there, you do the same thing you did the first time. Flash the boot.img and then the rom and GApps. Everything should work fine.
If you came from 1.85, apparently you can install directly from the OTA on the phone.
Thanks for the help. Do I need to do fastboot on boot img from the computer as well, or is there a way to manage it on the phone?
I wish I could just do OTA updates like people on the older hboot.

I use FlashImageGUI to flash the boot.img on the phone. Only thing I do on the computer is extract the actual boot.img file from the ROM.

Ok, just so I have it straight and because Flash Image GUI is warning me over and over: after I extract the correct boot.img I flash it using the Flash Image GUI, then use TWRP to install the boot.img, then the rom zip, then my gapps.zip? Thanks.
I was able to install it without flashing the boot.img. I was coming from the the latest nightly.

Flash the boot.img with Flash Image GUI, ignore all the warnings. Then, it'll ask you if you want to boot into recovery. Say yes. Then in TWRP, just flash the rom and gapps zips. Don't touch the boot.img again.

Interesting. Did you root from the 2.20 firmware?
No Stable for me
The CM10 Stable release for HTC One X is not on get.cm and it does not come up on my ota check on the CM10 nightly (i have the latest nightly)
Any ideas
Hello everyone,
This is the issue i had, when going from 1109 to stable the system will not do a clean OTA, the system will not load, attempted cleaning everything but nothing worked, at one point i even corrupted my memory so i had to do a factory reset, lastly what i did was flash the boot.img again and reinstall the system this got everything back to work. so from experience it seems the stable will need to do a full reinstall.
I hope that will help other people.
EDIT: updated to 1114 but it seems that broke the search feature so going back to 10.0.0 :S

Definitely there. http://get.cm/get/4LO
Excellent. Thanks so much. I managed to get it done. Here are my steps, FYI:
Coming from the 2.20 root with the latest hboot.
I downloaded but did not install the 10.0 stable update.
I went through my file browser to sdcard/cmupdater and copied the 10.0 evita zip to my Downloads folder.
After extracting the zip I copied the boot.img to the root directory of my sdcard. I don't think it has to be there, though.
I ran Flash Image GUI on the boot.img file, even with all the warning.
I then chose to reboot into recovery, where I installed the 10.0 evita zip, then installed the gapps zip.
Everything seems to work, including WiFi. I really appreciate all the help here at XDA. Hopefully my process above will help someone else.

Hey Guys
I'm struggling to locate an OTA for my HOX, is it only the XL that was updated with a stable release? as im unable to locate an endeavoru stable release for CM10?
I've taken a look through get.cm but cannot locate a copy anywhere? did we miss out? ?

[SOLVED] TWRP Instal

Just got a brand new TF700T today. I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. I am trying to instal TWRP so I can instal CM11 however I cannot make it happen the easy way. Goomanager is gone (what happened with that?) from the play store. Both Flashify and TWRP Manager can't find a recovery for the TF700T. What gives?
Firmware 10.6.1.14.4-20130329 if it matters. JB 4.2.1.
Id really like to avoid fastboot if I can.

Alright well lets start with updating the firmware. That should leave root intact right? So whats the best way to do that?

If you are still on stock the easiest way is to flash the latest Asus firmware.
Download your JB 4.2.2 SKU version from Asus support downloads site, unzip the downloaded file once resulting in another zip, and copy that second zip to the root of your internal SD.
The system should recognize the update file, pop up a notification about an update being available and flash it. If it doesn't, reboot.
You will loose root, but you don't need it to flash a custom rom following this:

Thanks to lj50036 I was able to get CM11 on there successfully. Everything is running so much better than it was with the stock rom. I really appreciate it!

update to latest OTA and recovery issue

HI all, I have CM12 installed on my rooted phone and this morning when I switched it on, I got a message saying:
"WARNING: Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled. This may cause issues with updating your device. Please enable Update Cyanogen recovery in developer options"
Now, that option is off because I have my custom recovery TWRP installed on the phone, I'd like to keep that and I don't want to reinstall it after the update, so I believe I should ignore the message, but what I wanted to check with you guys is whether ignoring it will in fact cause any issues as this is the first time ever I've seen this message (this update by the way I think is the first one after installing CM12).
Any idea?
thanks
Disregard the message.
Thanks Heisenberg,
I did that but when the phone restarts trying to install the update, it goes straight into recovery mode (TWRP) and from there I don't think I can install the update, as none of the options seem to allow me to do so, see screenshot http://s23.postimg.org/6d6s7wyq3/IMG_20150625_135453.jpg
All right, I downloaded the zip from here http://cyanogen-ota-bacon.somee.com/ and tried to flash it from TWRP, but I get an error, screenshot here http://s28.postimg.org/zb06wtcpp/OTA_error.jpg, any idea why?
Same here, got an error in TWRP logs that prevented the update to install.
I'd like to avoid reflashing stock recovery only to install the update...
Heres the log: http://s29.postimg.org/njqqqlfc7/Screenshot_2015_06_25_08_49_42.png
Seems something related to outdated "build fingerprint" my device has currently 12.0-YNG1TAS17L
I guess the alternative would be to do it thru Cyanogen Recovery, but let's see what more knowledgeable members have to say as, like you, I don't want to have to reinstall TWRP and SU just for the sake of the update
Looks like you cant use the official update with TWRP. Either flash it via cyanogen recovery then flash back TWRP, or use a differnt zip for update not the official
Thanks for clarifying that davebugyi, then so be it, I'll do it thru cyanogen recovery and then reflash TWRP and probably SU as well
thanks

Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, judging from the file size, that's the whole ROM

Oneplus one downgrade 6.0.1 to 4.4.4

Hi, Is it possible to go back to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1?
i think its possible , with cm11s. just try it, and let us know ! dont forget to backup , just incase
its CM13 back to CM11. Which software should I use. Read a lot of topics but, which one is for my phone?
I think you'll have to download 44s firmware and install it before you proceed with the rom.

You can! There are multiple way to do it:
First of all, you have the option to dual boot your phone with 4.4.4 using multirom or EFIdroid (not sure about EFIdroid)
You can just flash the full 4.4.4 zip as secondary rom, however! you NEED to flash the 4.4.4 modem in order to make the proximity sensor to work.
You can also just flash 4.4.4 as main ROM without using multirom or EFIdroid, make sure you wipe all the partitions first, then flash the full rom.
There is also the QHS_Bulk way.
First restore your phone using the color.zip in this guide.
When on color os (the chinese 4.4.4) you can fastboot flash the cm11s rom over it (step 4 in the guide, but make sure you use the cm11s rom).
Have fun!
You can but you need to flash KitKat firmware for oneplus one, also you need to find a compatible recovery menu to flash the ROM and firmware. Be sure to keep a backup of anything goes wrong
try this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-back-to-stock-repair-system.225170/#post-8737053 , it might help.
Thanks all for the replies. I am a complete noob at this.
So what do I need to do exactly. I know my mums phone still has 4.4.4. so it is possible.
I have backup everything now so not afraid to lose any data anymore.

You can just flash stock COS from fastboot

That ROM was the most stable with KK back in the days, but on some devices it needs a custom kernel to fix ghost touches.

How to root systemless Magisk (5.1 lollipop custom rom)

I keep reading posts that tell me to flash Magisk using custom recovery but my phone says 'update from external storage is disabled' so that's a no go.. And I can't use Odin because it's a ZIP file, not MD5, .TAR, SMD. etc. What else can I do? I've only ever managed to root my phone once and that was using CF AUTO Root which can be flashed by Odin.

Please tell us the specific phone model and rom. Magisk need to be flashed (installed) using a custom recovery e.g. TWRP. TWRP can be flashed using Odin even if the device isn't actually rooted.

What the exact phone model? SM-xxxx
You can download TWRP as .tar.md5 and flash it using Odin.
Best case is to install Magisk on a fresh installation without root/exposed framework already installed.

Why would you suggest that? In case I reach a point where apps are no longer compatible with my outdated software? Thanks, I might do that. I have stuck with 5.1 simply because I'm preferring it and also Marshmallow have made it harder to bypass security and root the device. I'm thinking it might not be safe now that I know this is a modded ROM, so I should probably look for an official one.
Can I make a Nandroid backup with TWRP? That sounds like it could be useful for any hiccups.

Marshmallow is already fully supported and you will be able to get full control to anything you like. Usually you can trust roms you get at the XDA forum as its a pretty active community and harmfull users would be banned real quickly. The only point is that modded stock rom or custom roms like LineageOS and derivates may not be stable and cause functionality issues.
So I've used this forum to find TWRP for my device https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...official-experimental-twrp-galaxy-s5-t3293379, I'm not sure how to 'Run flash-recovery.sh' because, as I mentioned, it won't let me flash from my SD card.. Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE: Managed to get TWRP as my custom recovery. Thanks so much for your help! I genuinely had no idea you could flash TWRP onto your phone! I was using the app which is hopeless. Most forums I've found say 'boot in recovery' which is quite unclear if you're not familiar with that..
Can I flash Nougat update onto my S5 Neo? It's originally not supported, that's the only reason I'm asking..
Can I still root with Magisk on that operating system as well and restore from Nandroid backup?
