1) In TWRP go to the Mount menu and then enable MTP. No such thing as MTP in fastboot mode though.
2) You can't unflash a zip. You need to fully wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) and flash your ROM and the correct gapps zip again.
3) You'd need to edit the updater script within the ROM zip to change the device name that it's looking for from bacon to A0001, but if you don't know what you're doing with this I'd advise against it.
4) There's pretty much no difference. It isn't quite as simple as just downloading the Play Store, there are several background apps/services that you also need. You can use Slim, Banks PA, just make sure you're using the right gapps for the Android version of the ROM you're flashing. For example, if you're flashing an Android 5.0.2 ROM then you need 5.0.X gapps. If you're flashing an Android 5.1 ROM then you need 5.1 gapps.

[Q] StockCM - Got the Update. Clicked Updated. Now in TWRP. What's next?

Hi.
Sorry for this
I am running CM stable 12.1. My recovery is TWRP.
I saw an update in OTA. Clicked "Update".
Phone rebooted into TWRP.
What's next?
(Tried finding the file in Download folder - but it's not there)
Again - sorry ):
Thank you for your help!

I guess you are talking about the recent CM13 stable release right?
The zip is located inside the cmupdater folder.
But don't flash it yet!
As you are coming from Lollipop, you have to flash marshmallow gapps with cm13!
I am using opengapps.
Also you were lucky the update did not work automatically, without the correct gapps, you will end up with a bootloop or force closes!
Your current TWRP version does not support the builtin cyanogenmod updater. Update TWRP too.

Wow - thank yo so much!!!!
Ok so this is what you suggest (if I am right):
1. Download OpenGapps 6.0 (desired version) from here: http://opengapps.org/
2. Go into TWRP.
3. Flash Latest CM13 STABLE (located at cmupdater folder).
4. Flash GAPPS.
5. Wipe Delivk + Catch
Is this correct?
Thanks again!!!!

Before step 3.
Go to:
Wipe - Advanced Wipe - and only wipe System
(this fully removes your current gapps and all kinds of possible mods which are maybe not compatible to Marshmallow)
then go on...
What TWRP Version do you have right now?
Don't forget to do a full backup in case anything goes wrong!

[GUIDE] Install custom ROM without computer

Hello everyone. I have come up with a lazy way to install custom ROM (such as Cyanogenmod) in *most* phone (I tried this on S3mini and Galaxy MEGA). Please note that this method moght not work on your phone and I am not responsible for bricking your phone.
Things you need:
-Your phone, fully charged
-Your precious time (About 30-60minutes)
-One click root app (I use Kingroot, download it with apk) (You may use other apps, of course)
-TWRP manager from playstore
-ZIP file of TWRP in latest version (V3?)
-ZIP file of the custom ROM matching the version of your device
-ZIP file of GApps matching the version of the custom ROM (Google for gapps and download it)
Steps:
1. Backup your personal information
Copy your personal information such as music, photo, documents out of your phone (e.g.: Cloud drive, USB, SD card). Safety first.
2. Root your phone
Download Kingroot and install the apk with package installer. Run the app and follow the instruction in the app to root.
3. Install TWRP manager
After rooting, install TWRP manager. In the app, install TWRP that match your device.
4. Create a backup for your phone
Boot your phone into recovery (Every phone have different method, so please google about this). In TWRP, press 'Backup' to create the backup.
5. Flash the latest version of TWRP
As the TWRP manager does not offer the latest version of TWRP, you have to flash the latest version by installing ZIP. The latest version of TWRP can install ROM with higher success rate.
To do this, press 'Install' in TWRP. Find the ZIP file of TWRP in latest version and install it.
6. Reboot your device to Recovery mode
7. Wipe your device
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and Data partition and wipe them.
8. Flash custom ROM
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the Custom ROM ZIP and install it.
9. Flash GApps
Most custom ROM does not have Google apps such as play stote, so you have to install it.
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the GApps ZIP and install it.
10. Wipe Cache and dalvik cache
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache and Dalvik Cache partition and wipe them.
11. Reboot your device
Now the ROM should be properly installed. First boot might take longer, so please wait patiently.
Shall you brick your phone, try to recover by using backup created in step 4.
PS: I am a newbie here and this is my first guide

While you have to wipe your device to flash the custom rom, it will wipe your data, including the actual Gapps and rom. This shows that your method won't work.

Will it work to install LineagOS > 'nano' GApps > reboot > then 'full' GApps?

I followed the LineageOS wiki to install 14.1 (v7.1.2) on my SM-P900. At the time I installed 'nano' GApps. But I can't get Google Duo to install, which is included in the 'Full' GApps install. Now that after the whole process has already been done, can I just download a larger GApps file and install it?
Thanks.
Update:. I decided to give it a try. Rebooted into recovery mode and installed full version. It worked fine but SuperSU didn't work. I had to install LineageOS update, open Gapps 'full', then SuperSU binary in that order in recovery mode.

Anyone have an idea?
