twrp - can't install this package on top of incompatible data

i have followed all the steps using NRT to unlock boot-loader and root the phone.
Installed TWRT manager and flashed the recovery.
Now i am trying to flash CM12 for the first time and stuck with error message "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" during flashing .
downloaded the following flash zip from CM website: cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip (281.77 MB)
Can any one help me what needs to be done to proceed further.

i didnt wipe the data before. Now its working and closing the thread

I wiped everything on my phone via TWRP. Still getting this error!

This topic is old but in case someone else gets here I got a solution - Change /data partition filesystem to ext4 or other supported by ROM

This guide might help, you do it in TWRP by going to Format > Advanced > select partition > Change filesystem > Ext4

Wiping data worked for me

In twrp, I had to fumble around to find advance wipe to clear data but worked like charm after that.
Thank you!

xiaomi note 4g dior
Let me tell my story,
My friend gave me an old xiaomi note 4g which was stuck at the MI icon on boot,
Luckily the phone did not lock boot-loader
So I use xiaomi flash rom to flash global room , it worked after i tried sometimes.
Then I booted to the phone, and other problem came, the phone was linked with an Mi Account , and my friend forgot everything about it
not email, no phone number
I did a search and they said the only way to bypass the MiAccount is using a Resurrection ROM or balallala
so I ended up with using
1. fastboot to install twrp
2. open twrp --> open adb sideload mode.
3. Open window command line and install Resurrection ROM though adb sideload
While installing rom though adb slideload , i got the same issue with topic
SO i cleared data and tried again,
IT WORKED , NO MORE ****ING MiAccount
THANK a lot

Hi
Playing with my wife's Nexus 5, bootloader unlocked, rooted, and latest TWRP installed but when trying to flash from android 6.0.1 to Lineage, I'm getting an error 7 image shown I hope.....
Is this just because I haven't wiped the data first ? (I'm fairly sure but...)
I dont dare try 'cause if it's not that she'll kill me, so would like to be sure before I wipe all her data..
Thanks
Update, it was that I just wiped all except the SD and flashed, all is just great

[Solved] Accidentally Wiped OS From Smartphone

Hello.
I was trying to do a factory reset when I accidentally wiped the os from 'my' phone.
I still can access to bootloader and I have TWRP installed.
I have no backups and no experience in the field.
How can I have 'my' phone back on track again?
Thank you very much.

download a custom rom
boot to twrp and flash it
if you are on S-ON after rom installation flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks for the reply.
I'm trying to do that. But so far without success, i'm having this error:
' E: unable to open zip file. '
(I found a video of someone in a similar situation youtube/xpRyv0b-pfY #I can't post the complete link due to xdadevelopers restrictions)
Any Ideas why and how can I solve it?

[Bricked Nexus 5] can't mount /persisit ,/data; Currupt Partition; Flashing Failed

My rooted Nexus 5 has got bootloop issue because of faulty power button. It keeps restarting on its own. After replacing the power button with new One from LG Service center, now it stuck
at marshmellow boot screen, that boot keep running entire day untill battery died. LG Service center guys told me to replace the mother board. Since i was not convinced, i decided to make sure
if it is really required. My Nexus 5 has CWM recovery ver 6.0.4 with usb debugging on. Fastboot, adb everything is working. But if i tried to flash / wipe or mount i simply get error
can't mount /persist
cant mount /data
I tried following links to fix it-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833
and some other first hand advice like run "Flash-all.bat" from stock rom, use WUG Toolkit to fix soft brick and flash stock rom or try flashing another custom recovery. But no matter what i try
CWM never get replaced and again same error. i was able to flash TWRP ( only untill reboot)and able to see folders under File Manager. But can't select Data, persist if try to wipe or mount from there.
One thing though, While using LG Flash tool my device never got detected in the tool even though i could see LG USB Serial Port under device manager in PC.
Please suggest if there is anything can be done to get it into working mode ,or motherborad replacement is the only way to go ahead.

You could try repartitioning device. try doing this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...guide-repartition-nexus5-to-increase-t3509880
Actually resizing system partition also deletes userdata partition and it should work after recreating it. You have nothing to loose if it is already broken.

Try flashing the oldest stock ROM from the Google site. Make sure to flash userdata.img and perform a factoru wipe before booting the phone for the first time.

I am really sceptical if this will work. Since I have already tried flashing oldest rom of marshmallow (6.0.0).
Anyways, it won't take much time so will try to flash KitKat and let you know.
Edit -
Result was as expected
remote : failed to erase partition
remote : flash write failure

Any other Help ?? How to make sure if its really hard brick and not soft brick?

Sounds like the internal memory chip is damaged. I had one phone where I could not flash anything so I changed the motherboard and everything worked perfectly after the change.

I think I have a similar issue. Someone please help!

Can you enter in fasboot mode?
If yes https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

DAAMMM WOW man...! I searched for a solution all night and didn't find anything no matter how hard I tried.
In one comment you fixed everything! Really (really) appreciated!
Thanks again!

@NOSS8 Maybe you can help me root my phone...?
After I installed the TWRP, I enter recovery mode and I see 0MB in the 'Internal Storage'.
I have PIN to the phone, but it's not asking me to write it down when I boot to recovery.
What can I do?

How To Guide [TB-J716F] Flashing Pseudo_Global firmware (many languages inside)

If you not like ZUI firmware - you can flash Pseudo_Global to your tablet. I've tested this way and sharing it here.
Pseudo_global fw was built on ZUI, it has A11 inside and you never can to get some system updates - no one is doing them.
Your data will gone away.
YOU ARE WARNED !
And so:
I've tryed this on ZUI 14.0.127 with unlocked bootloader and active slot _a. Active slot can be checked with
Code:
adb shell /bin/getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
and answer must be _a
If not, you need change boot slot with command in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot set_active other
And now you can reboot in EDL mode and start to flash all needed partitions from unpacked archive Pseudo_ROW_J716Fl.7z
You need unpacked ZUI 12.6.211 from lolinet https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_P11_Pro_2021/TB-J716F/ for working with QPST Partition Manager.
How it looks you can see in this video:
You must flash ALL partitions archive contains. Files in Add.rar not need, it for any case.
MANDATORY ! After flashing you need at first to boot in recovery and make reset to factory settings, it will format userdata. Without this action you can't boot.

It was exactly what I was looking for and trying for days, but following your tutorial I still couldn't, it didn't turn on, I had to upload the rom 12.6.211 again. I wanted to leave it with multiple languages.

OK, I will re-check it in 2-3 days. Although I think you did something wrong.

Dude, I have some bad news for you. Your hands are crooked. That needs to be fixed.
My method works without fail. It only takes half an hour.
Try it again.
