Hi everyone, I need your help!
I'm on stock oreo 8.0 C432B521, but I want to try out OmniROM 5.2 alpha from Openkirin.
On their site they say to flash the image file as system image, having stock recovery installed.
However, few months ago I flashed the patched system image of this firmware to install Magisk to root my phone.
Will the installation of OmniROM work with it, or do I have to get back to stock system Image?
Thanks :angel:

Hello Everybody!
I am new to android and this rooting/custom recovery scene. I have rooted my Nexus 5 on 4.3, updated to 4.4 then rereooted, but that's it.
I have now done this:
Previously running stock android 4.4.2 with root/unlocked bootloader/TWRP/SuperSU working great
Wiped device (via TWRP bootloader)
Flashed custom rom (Omnirom, 4.4.2)
Installed SuperSU from gplay store
I opened SuperSU and it says I'm not rooted. What have I done wrong? And can you help me understand this process, because evidently the custom Rom (or the wipe beforehand?) broke my root. Can I get it back without flashing Omnirom again?
Thanks!
Adam
P.S. Anybody know a good Multiwindow Rom for Nexus5?
Download and flash the SuperSU.zip through TWRP from here
Then when you open SuperSU should work. You can apply this same procedure for most ROMs if they don't come pre-rooted like Omni.
Additionally, there is a setting which you should tick "Install SuperSU backup script" which means it should remain rooted after you flash an OmniROM delta update.
Hi guys,
I flashed my bootloader and TWRP in order to install CM 12.1 NIGHTLY HammerheadCAF ROMs. It's working fine, but now I want to try the Android M preview. Do I just have to flash the original bootloader and non-caf TWRP and be back to normal?
Flashed stock images via fastboot and back to normal.
Hello guys, few months back i had installed the Android M preview and then to root the device i had installed a custom Kernel on my Google Nexus 5. Now i have upgraded to the stock MRA58N 6.0.0 ROM manually using the factory images by google. Now i want to know, how can i revert back to the stock kernel. And is flashing stock automatically reverts back to stock kernel? How will i root again on Android 6.0.0 please help
Flashing the factory images replaces the current kernel (if using the flash-all script). If you have flashed them one by one, did you flash the boot.img file?
To root MM builds, check SuperSU MM thread to flash a modified boot image then flash SuperSU or flash a custom kernel then SuperSU.
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.
TWRP says "Patching system image unconditionally" for CM 14.1 nightly on XT1033
Hey I have a question please help me.....
I have an old Moto G (1st Gen Indian Retail Unit) XT1033. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp recovery. When flashing the CM 14.1 nightly it is stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally" for about an hour now. What might be the problem? I've searched a lot in xda forums but of no luck. :crying: Can anyone guide me through this?
Thanks in advance.

* When you boot into recovery, TWRP asks for write permissions? If it does, allow modifications and try to flash again.
* Also you can try to download the ZIP file again, maybe the download went bad or corrupted.
* When this happened to me I made a *very clean install*. This means, that before flashing the zip file you wipe all the partitions (cache, dalvik, system, data, internal storage). Then reboot to recovery again, copy the zipfile and the google apps from the PC over USB, then flashed both zip files and then rebooted without problems.
The problem that you describe also happened to a friend's phone but unfortunately for him, it was a faulty phone (internal storage was starting to degrade, eventually it stopped working).
Thanks. I am going to bed right now and try to do something tomorrow morning. Also, is root access mandatory for flashing custom ROM? I am currently in stock 5.1 ROM if that matters.
P.S. I was thinking that may be it could work if I go from 5.1 to 6.0 on the CM 13 and then go to CM 14.1. Would that make any difference than going directly to CM 14.1 from stock ROM running on 5.1?
Help Guys!! I can't get it to work! And also my twrp is not asking for any permissions.
My Bootloader is version 41.1A if that matters anything.
UPDATE: I flashed the CM 13 Snapshot and it worked. I am now going to try updating from CM 13 to CM 14.1
One doubt, I currently have no GApps flashed. Can I go ahead and update to CM 14.1 and then download and flash GApps for CM 14.1? Or should I flash GApps for both CM 13 and CM 14.1 separately?
Solved!! After installing CM 13.0 I was able to install CM 14.1 successfully. Sorry for the late post.
