Hi,
I'm about to install CM11 (cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip) on my Nexus 5, but wanted to be sure I'm not about do something obviously stupid. I tried using the CM Installer, but it said 'firmware not supported'.
I have
- Minimal experience.
- LG Nexus 5, hammerhead
- unlocked and rooted. (it did a factory reset on unlocking)
- Fresh Android 5.1.1 with bootloader version HHZ12h.
- TWRP 2.8.7.1 (took a backup and copied the whole TWRP folder to my laptop), flashed manually using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.
- Latest TWRP manager installed from Play Store.
- standalone adb and fastboot installed on my Windows 7 laptop. No SDK. 'adb devices' lists the phone when connected.
- cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip downloaded to my phone under /sdcard/.
- cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip is also present in same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe.
Questions are:
- Hope this build of CM is compatible with my Nexus 5 & the bootloader version and whatever else there might be compatibility issues.
- How should I do this: According to "official CM installation on Nexus 5 guide" on wiki.cyanogenmod.org it seems like I'm supposed to push the zip file to /sdcard/0, but /sdcard seems to be a link to /sdcard/emulated/legacy, which contains no folder named '0'. Should I create it and put it there?
If you're coming from a ROM with Android 4.2 or newer to CyanogenMod 10.1 or newer: adb push update.zip /sdcard/0/

OR
Given that "cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip downloaded to my phone under /sdcard/", can I just: boot to recovery, click on Install, select the zip file and swipe to flash?
Finally a general query: Is there any reason I have to connect the phone to my laptop and run any adb, fastboot commands except to transfer the zip file from laptop to phone and to boot into bootloader or recovery with fastboot command? I already have TWRP running.
Thanks

Edit - before you flash, create a backup in twrp, including your efs, and copy it to your laptop for peace of mind.
I don't use cm, but that sounds like the right file. It doesn't matter which location the zip file is on your sdcard as far as I know, I think they've just said /sdcard/0 to make it easy to find from within twrp. Sounds to me like you've covered all your bases, nice to see someone manually flashing a nexus as a start. I'd go ahead and flash the zip, don't forget to factory reset if you're coming from stock. Also, you may want to find a gapps package if you haven't already. Since you seem to have taught yourself the right way, and your PC is setup for fastboot already, it should be easy to flash back to stock/restore under twrp. You don't even need adb to push files to your phone, you can just download them straight to the device. I generally only use my PC for fastboot flashing to stock,or transferring large amounts of data. Good luck, enjoy your nexus - first boot will generally take just long enough that you'll start wondering if its broken.
Thanks for the quick response.

Just curious why?
If i do a factory reset, will it not delete /sdcard/cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip? Do I just copy it from laptop to phone after reset and proceed to flashing? Or there is some way to not wipe 'sdcard' during factory reset?

I did do a TWRP backup, but selected what to backup in the TWRP manager app, there is no option called EFS. Anyway, I'm creating a new using the recovery UI, where there is a check box called EFS. Thanks!

Didn't know there was any other more automated option/way. , is there? Only thing I knew was the CM Installer, which said the firmware isn't supported. .

Yes, I was planning to, but taking it step at a time. .
I was planning to get gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip from cyanogenmod.org, but lets see. I'll probably post another question here asking which is the compatible one.
Factory reset just wipes data/cache/dalvik, it should leave your sdcard storage intact. Just out of interest,why cm11? KitKat is pretty long in the tooth, and I've always found aosp based ROMs to perform better than cm on nexus 5. The problem with having no gapps will be no access to play store/google account services, so you'll have to get apps from less trustworthy sources.
Worked
Thanks.
It worked fine. Though it was totally useless without either the play store or basic CM apps. Couple of notes:
- After wipe/factory-reset (from TWRP Recovery UI) /sdcard was untouched.
- Installed the ROM using TWRP Recovery UI -> Install -> Select the zip file from /sdcard and swipe.
- CM Installer on Windows 7 laptop worked fine once the CM was installed. But it downgraded the build from Nov to Aug-2014.
- Also CM Installer removed my TWRP and replaced it with CWM. Not happy.
So actually all that's needed is:
- Unlock the bootloader and root.
- Install TWRP Manager
- Try to use the TWRP Manager's "Install TWRP" to install the TWRP Custom Recovery. If that doesn't work then do it manually. Download twrp.img
- Install ADB and fastboot, you don't need the whole 1GB Android SDK. Just search for "ADB Fastboot without SDK".- Enable USB debug, connect the phone and ensure that 'adb.exe devices' prints a device.- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img- Download the ROM zip file you wanna install on the phone itself, no need to involve the laptop.
- Boot into recovery (e.g. using TWRP Manager -> Reboot options) and do what I did above.
Once you've installed Cyanogenmod, DO NOT use CM Installer. This is written in July'2015. May be things would improve in future.

The ROM is really good but i Tried everything to pass through safetynet but i cant do it.
Can I install regularly via stock update, w/o twrp? What's is date of security patch? Can you put homescreen there?
I'm on 5.9.021s for x526. I have x527.
google Drive
Can you upload it on google Drive and share the link please , cause google drive is faster and easier way to download
Owing all gratitude towards you

You can not update it via stock recovery bcs leeco never release this rom it is installed on europe (Czech branded phones) i cannot post screen bcs im change phone i have Essential ph-1 for now
Can i flash it as a secondary rom (multirom)?
Does anyone have the stock modem for x527? because my signal keeps coming on and off constantly in every eui rom so I can't go back to stock, strangely I can use it on Nougat and Oreo. I've flashed this stock rom but no solution.
Hi @veisen !
Thanks for the ROM.
However - how can it be an official ROM if it shows a 'Le X527' but with a 'Snapdragon 820' (when it should be a Snapdragon 652)?
Cheers, raimerik

Try pushing it through adb
Rename the file to update.zip
Open terminal
cd "directory of the zip folder"
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
Wait for few minutes, it should be done.

Ok, @veisen I'll try it. But do you have any reasonable explanation of why adb push stops copying?
Any one using this rom? How's battery life n camera ?
If possible post some screenshots
move fstab using official recovery ( adbpull /vendor/etc/fstab.kirin970 and fstab.kirin970.data - remove "avb" and encryption from userdata, replace the encryption line on data with 'encryptable')
format /data in unofficial recovery
install magisk in official recovery
for some reason it only works in that order, if you try and do it all in official or unofficial recovery it doesnt work and magisk recognizes encryption on data.
after each step reboot bootloader and flash respective recovery, then fastboot reboot unplug and hold power and vol up to go straight into recovery and continue, if you boot you have to start over)
when installing magisk zip you should see that it doesnt say keep force encrypt.
and if you go in settings you have the option to encrypt.

Hi there
I´m struggling to get lineage 15.1 to install without google framework errors
You mention offical and unofficial recovery. I guess you are talking about twrp
when you say move fstab do you mean remove?
Could this encryption be my problem with lineage and gapps not installing as it should?

Totally irrelevant to OP
If i hadn't tried that i wouldn't ask here.
Not TOTALLY irrelevant, as my question is about the official and unofficial twrp having trouble mounting and wiping before flashing rom..

If you format data, isn't the device going to be empty?
Only time I've done this before I had to copy a ROM via MTP in recovery and then flash with no Verity.
So forgive me if I'm wrong but if I format data, won't I end up with no operating system?

/system is where the system lives

Noting wrong with formatting, you will lose all apps and data though

Legend, thanks for clearing that up.
:good:
I know off topic, but out of interest with the p20 pro, if you did find yourself with no OS how would you get back to a functional phone?
There's no custom ROMs to flash, just never been in this situation before.
Hypothetically

You can use hurupdater and download the firmware from firmwarefinder on your of
Happened a lot of times for me
Just as a headsup, you dont need to decrypt anything when you just wanna do some changes once and are proper admin level on your desktop machine, ive moved a whatsapp message history from previous phone (also taken from protected space there) to P20P just by attaching it to pc in file transfer mode and then adding myself as full control user in the security tabs of the several system folder properties i went in to, worked like a charm.
The point im trying to make: Android and Windows finally understand each others permission systems (not sure since how long as ive been away from android for a few years) so you can just attach it and use Windows perm system to give yourself access where needed, lots easier & faster then making a bunch of changes to your phone in effect disabling encryption, something you in most cases dont really want to do permanently anyway, so this is a nice workaround that doesn't touch your phone's encryption settings but still lets you mess about with system files.
Just my 2 cents.

I did everything step by step, the encryption is gone and yet I still get that stupid permission denied error when I try to do a backup in TWRP. So. F*cking. Annoying.
Update: when I press the "Install" button in TWRP, it shows giberish, but if I go to Advanced>File Manager everything has it's proper name. WTF?!
Hmmm, If I don't tick "Vendor" in the backup, I get this error:
Can not create 'data/media/0/2021-01-20--07-26-51' folder (No such file or directory).
Failed to make backup folder.
Update on update: oof, now everything that's in the internal storage is gibberish, even in the OS.
I'm trying to install the OpenGapps package for LineageOS 16 on my new Oneplus 7 Pro, but have a problem installing it.
First I tried the "open_gapps-arm64-9.0-micro-20190827.zip" package, but it told me its the wrong platform. Is it not arm64?
Second I tried to install the "open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20190827.zip", but gives me an error 70, saying I do not have enough space.
Maybe someone have a solution for this?
Thanks
Try MindtheGapps. I've seen this work for some.

Tried it. Still does not work.
I got it semi, but still not working. Seems like the problem is within the way the partitions getting handled. My old Oneplus 5t had a boot, recovery, system partitions. The new one includes the recovery inside the boot it seems instead.
Here's how far I am now:
1) Unlocked the phone
2) Installed TWRP
3) Install Lineage ( This overwrites the TWRP so you have to install it again )
4) Reboot straight from TWRP after flashing the Lineage... back into the Bootloader/Fastboot mode and install the TWRP again.
5) Boot back into TWRP recovery and now I'm able to install OpenGapps ARM64 version.
But after this I cant boot the OS anymore...

Don't wipe system afaik vendor LOS generates it's own, Also might be in the wrong slot make sure the slot changed when rebooting back to recovery to install gapps, I used MindTheGapps latest version from OP worked great.

Have not wiped the System and Vendor partition after I installed Lineage... It boots just fine... just not if I install Open GApps....
Tried MindTheGapps latest version, but still no luck.
Okay got it working. The problem was the A/B partition layout they have in this phone... Was not aware of this.
This article describes it pretty well: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-19/
So yeah this is what I did:
1) Boot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode
2) Flash the boot partition with fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-52-guacamole-unified.img
3) Restart into TWRP - Format the data partition and clean the system partition etc.
3) Restart into recovery TWRP once more to get the data partition ready
4) Now you can transfer the lineage-16.0-20190827-nightly-guacamole-signed.zip over to memory.
5) Now flash the zip file and let it complete. This will overwrite the boot partition with TWRP and replace it with Lineage's own boot/recovery image.
6) Now reboot into Lineage's recovery. Now select Apply update > Apply from ADB and send the "MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" file to the phone with "adb sideload MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" - You might have to confirm the zip file....
After this is done, the phone should be ready for use.

I am facing the same A/B slot problem with my Moto Z2.
After setp 5), did you let the lineage OS fist then reboot into recovery, or did you go straight to the lineage recovery?
Thank you so much for this. I finally fot it sorted. I did find that sometimes you have to ubplug the USB cable and plug it in again to be recognised, but I got it going. Goodby Google!!!!
I am using Gentoo Linux with adb to do this.

GSI stands for Generic System Image and will allow you to install an alternative ROM on your Galaxy A20?
No longer will we be restricted to the Samsung ROM.
These ones worked for me. If they don't work for you, go to the list of all GSIs. There are plenty to choose from. Select arm64 ab files.

For A20: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a20/how-to/root-samsung-galaxy-a20-rooting-guide-t3954872
For A30: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481
2. Install TWRP and remove data encryption.

Quick root and TWRP together for the A20: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a20/how-to/guide-quick-root-twrp-galaxy-a20-t4069423
3. Backup only 3 parts: boot, data & system (not system image) onto external SD or usb-otg. If something goes wrong you should be able to restore the phone using TWRP.
4. Also use SMS Backup and Restore so you don't lose your messages or calls.
5. Make sure your Ext SD card is Fat32. I've noticed that GSIs don't recognise ExFat.

So method 1 have you the same result as method 2
Can you backup with either method?
Method 1
For the SM-A205YN
Download the A205YN custom recovery from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=169
No need to patch it. Just flash it with Flashify.
If this first method works for a different version, please let me know.
Method 2
For the SM-A205G,
Download the composite recovery from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=198

I did the twrp process again by the new method 2 but still the same error, the internal storage is having problems it does not appear the folders or files! and to install a GSI rom it must be the internal memory because the SD card does not work!
