What information is needed? I used the twrp app to install it.

Like anything that's relevant. Try installing the normal way (with fastboot) instead.

[Q] How do i go back to O5Q?

So i am now at CM12, I need to go back to O5Q , When i tried to flash thru a zip i found it was stuck at booting!.
Researched a bit and found that i cannot do it like that i need to flash the fast-boot images of the other build.
But my question is , Is there anyway i can do it without losing My Pictures and Songs?
Last time i lost them and it was a big pain in ass!!
So my question any way i can get to stock without losing internal storage?
Thanks guy's....!

Go to my guide thread:

Follow the instructions in section 8, just don't flash the userdata image and it won't touch your internal storage.

You don't need to when flashing the stock images, it's all contained in those.

[Q] Phone reboot to "Welcome to Cynogen" screen

My phone suddenly reboot during WhatsApp. After reboot, Welcome screen appear like 1st time boot after flash new rom. I have to select language and everything. Need to update all default software that come with 11S. But if I reboot again, same thing happen like I explained above. Running on 44S and stock kernel.

Sounds like you have a corrupt data partition. Is your bootloader unlocked?

Yes. Bootlooder is unlock. Any solution for me. I upgrade to 05Q also wont solve the problem

Yeah that was what I meant. Unfortunately I think you're going to need to wipe though because just installing the update doesn't fix the problem (corrupt data partition). I think you'll need to fully wipe your phone and start fresh. First you should copy any important photos, music, etc from your phone to your PC. Just connect your phone to your PC while you're in TWRP and you should be able to copy your media from the phone using Windows. Once you've done that, go to my guide thread and follow the instructions in section 8 to flash the stock images.

My phone seem to be back to normal. Thank you. Any idea what cause it?

So it booted back up and ask your apps and settings were back to normal? That's really strange. I have no idea why/how that'd happen.

[Q] How to revert back safely ?

There are people who have used fastboot method and hard bricked!
So which ways did you guys use to revert back ?
Flashing CM11s through Normal recovery wil work right !?
And whats new in Oxygen OS ? Firmware? Bootloader?
EDIT :-
FLASHED CM11S ZIP THROUGH TWRP AND THAT WORKS SUPER FINE, NO ISSUES!

Whoever hard-bricked while flashing the stock images was doing something wrong. The stock images are your best option for going back to stock.

Can't Update to Marshmallow

I currently have Cyanogen OS version 12.1.1-YOG7DAS2K1. My phone notifies me that there is a new update to Marshmallow. I can download the update, but when I try to install it, nothing happens. I'm taken back to the system updates screen, and it asks me if I want to check for updates. When I check, it says I have the latest version, but I clearly don't.
I'm not a very sophisticated phone user, but a few months ago, I did do something to my phone to recover some texts that I accidentally deleted. I think the software may have rooted my device or something like that. I thought that I reversed everything I did, but I guess maybe I didn't? What are my options without having to delete everything?

Cureently have COS? You running stock?

I did something to recover some deleted texts. It involved downloading a program to my computer and then connecting my phone. I'm not sure if it rooted the phone, but I guess that may be the problem.

Maybe it could've, try flashing factory cos12.1 then flash cos13
