Sorry, I don't have that right now.

Thanks anyway. It'd be awesome if someone who has it posted. Anyone?

Yep, the update just popped up. How do you capture it by the way? What's the path?

There are three folders under cache, backup, lost+found and recovery, none of them contain the update.

You already installed it? Once you install it, the file is erased - forever. All OTAs are this way. You MUST extract it before you install it.
Confirm: Did you install it or not? Also, if not - has it downloaded completely?
EDIT: I'll take your lack of response as you confirming that you did install it...

I am downloading ota update my phone is rooted so should i unroot it first and remove xposed framework.. reply??

Yes, un-root, and remove all traces of having rooted. That includes any changes done to your System Files which Xposed might have done. You will have to flash the stock recovery too.

No, my lack of response was because of the reading I was doing here on XDA as why I wasn't seeing the OTA zip file under cache. Then I realized that I did not download the OTA, I thought that it was downloaded already as I had data on and it was just asking me to whether it should install or not.
Now I downloaded the OTA, and it's there under cache folder, and now at a safe place on my desktop.
I would never install it on my phone without flashing back stock ROM again anyway. I like to do things fresh.

Thanks. It's always nice to have the latest of Android. The new dialer is meaningless for me, again, it just changed it's viewing type, nothing else has been changed! Need to install ExDialer as usual. Will see if there's really something done with the camera, can't take any meaningful photos at 3:30 in the morning :laugh:
Just one thing, as I have taken the OTA after a fresh install of stock ROM, now I don't need to format it again from recovery right?

There is already a thread for the 4.4.4 rollout here, please use it instead of having two similar discussions going on in 2 separate threads. Thanks

[OTA][TWRP]cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL update TWRP flashable [ZIP]

I made a Twrp flashable zip for the CM12S OTA update
My initial warning was a
WARNINGS
This update is intended to be used to update from CM11S-XNPH05Q to CM-12.0-YNG1TAS0YL,
Users have reported it working via other dirty flashes, so do so at your own risk.
HOWEVER I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS OR YOUR OWN STUPIDITY
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING

2) put both files on your internal storage
3) Reboot into TWRP
4) flash the modified OTA and wipe the caches
5) Flash SuperSU.zip

Will this wipe the device?

nope, didn't when I flashed it

I heard people saying it would flash over CM11 nightlies and I didn't believe it. Just for grins, I backed up my CM12 nightlies, wiped cache/dalvik-art and gave it a whirl. So far no problems, but later in the day I'm going to do a clean install.

this has the assert lines removed from the updater script, you needed to remove them before on cm11.
Apparently not now, the warnings are because since this has a radio.img and other stuff you can brick your device.

Does this also flash modem etc.?

Edit it's there, didn't know where it came from didn't mean to miss credit.

Hey, whats the difference its having from the one that is other post? There peoples are simply flashing from CM12 nightlies.

So after flashing it with Philz Recovery with the result "t", my Android just doesn't boot up anymore. The boot animation animates for an infinite time. What now?
Edit: Well, I held the power button until it was off, restarted and now it's working. It's magic. [place parrot here]

You can try it at your own risk, there is a small updater script change that allows twrp to flash it. It does flash a radio which can be dangerous. If it's working for them then this should in Theory work, try it at your own risk and let us know if it works

One guy in the other thread already bricked his device trying to flash from Oxygen People flashing from CM11s & CM11/12 nightlies seem to be doing ok except for the occasional FC, probably from not clearing cache/dalvik.

I bricked mine last week going from cm12 back to 11S, luckily I was able to get it up and running by flashing colorOS via their flashtool and then reflashing cm11S again.
These are reasons why I am stressing this so much. I had it happen, it sucks but I got my device back

Been doing this too long to be vague about that kind of stuff, if it was just system and boot img I'd tell you to flash it however you want because there isn't a ton of things that those can mess up

TWRP can't mount system

Had this phone close to a year and finally decided to root. I installed twrp but when I choose to mount system it says it can't so I can't root. Any ideas? Pretty sure there's a simple fix but I've been out of the rooting/roming stuff for a while.

You have to format data and cache partitions to allow twrp to red them but you will lose all your data.
Start in bootloader mode and use fastboot
Fastboot format data
Fastboot format userdata

How about starting fresh by flashing the factory image? As I said, it should work, but for some reason it isn't.
I am running Nougat encrypted with TWRP and Root. For me it mounted perfectly.

Here's what I did yesterday. I downloaded dp4 because it worked better for me than U was. Flash all.bat. Booted phone and partially set up. Downloaded SU to internal storage, booted to bootloader, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, reboot recovery.....found SU but couldn't do anything with it because system wasn't mounted. Tried all of this twice. Had a thought while typing this....twrpp not compatible with dp4 maybe? I'm on T now so I'd assume it would work if I tried again if that's the case. Thanks for the help.

Instead of DP4, install the stable final release of nougat. TWRP had issues with Developer Preview.

Sounds good. Thanks again for the help.

Still have the same problem. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

I got it to work. Not sure what I did to get it to work but I'm all set.

Flyme official beta 6.0 released

Finally flyme 6.0 beta official is released
link :- http://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-76.html#8

i just install this flyme 6.0 beta...seems to be great...dont know yet if it could be used as a daily...feedback later...thanks

So any reviews?

My review for the previous version of flyme 6, was this:
"Just flashed.. Great animations, graphics, sounds and a unique feeling in general.
BUT! This rom asks for every single app for internet and location permissions! from calendar to gallery and notes, in music app and so on.. And if you don't to give permissions there is only an "exit" option and you can't use the app! Maybe it's safe but it seems to me a little shady.
There are many chinese apps preinstalled which explains the size of the rom.
Furthermore some notifications are in chinese and you can't understand what they say.
I flashed opengapps after flashing the rom with no success, so I used a google installer from their store and it worked just fine..
Photos from the camera are stretched and Gallery doesn't show anything as mentioned..
wifi/bluetooth/data works fine."
(I don't know if any of these changed in this version)

Got a workaround just unmount system and then flash.

Trying to understand what I broke. Corrupted /data

I'm just trying to understand what I did here. This is the first phone that's given me this much trouble.
Was running 7.1.1 stock. Finally got annoyed by that auto volume thing from sony that I had time to flash AOSP. I followed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/development/nougat-7-1-1-android-source-project-t3555510
I used xperifirm/flashtool to update to newest UK firmware ( US has no fingerprint ) . I did NOT backup my drm keys. I have them from before when I rooted. Besides I didn't need them really. I use opencamera.
Followed that guide exactly. Everything worked. Then I flashed twrp 3.1.1 from adb. I think this is where I went wrong. I wanted to flash supersu and viper4android. As soon as I tried this I got twrp errors about mounting /data. Missing crypto footers. I also noticed that supersu binary always said it needed updating, and viper4android would not install drivers.
Did some googling. Saw I just had to format /data from twrp. TWRP was unable to format data with the same errors. More google, saw I had to recreate the /data from terminal from this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/format-data-using-twrp-3-0-2-t3371137 .
Did that. Same errors in twrp. Ok had enough. Restored my twrp backup from 7.1.1 where everything worked. That went through and just hosed everything, due to not being able to read /data. After this finished I was stuck in a boot loop.
Got into fastboot and reran the original AOSP guide above. Now I'm there. Everything left exactly as it was. No twrp etc.
My question is what the heck did I break and how? And as a secondary question can I root this, if so how? The recovery that is flashed with that guide cannot mount /sdcard so I don't see a way to flash supersu for example.
Just trying to understand before I really break something.

I've never really used magisk. Flashable zip? I'd need a working twrp since the recovery included with that rom can't mount /sdcard.
I think I just happened to grab 3.1.1, I must have missed the 3.2.1 version. At this point I'm not flashing anything until I know it works. I don't remember seeing it in nougat, but I see that under 8.1 the phone status shows as encrypted.
I'm a little leery of flashing anything currently since I currently have no root so I cant use titanium to backup. I also don't want to end up with a non working recovery again. I posted to that aosp thread seeing if anyone rooted it.
At this point I'd almost like to get a working twrp just to go back tro 7.1 where everything worked.

I have never flashed recovery with aosp, because it doesn't do anything. I haven't tried aosp O yet, though. Typically, yes, skip the recovery flash and flash twrp instead.

I'll give it a whirl. One question though, since I've never run into this. What do you mean because it doesn't do anything? Granted this is the only aosp I've played with so far, so my knowledge is a bit limited.

Stock recovery is usually limited to stock functions. If you want to customize, you need custom recovery.

Ohhh. right. I thought you meant recovery didn't do anything with aosp. Read that wrong, brain fart.

So nope. Twrp cannot read /data. Same error as before. Magisk seems to have installed.
My guess is this is all coming from the forced encryption, though I haven't done enough research.. I'm going to see if I can get viper running..

Yeah, I guess still no custom kernels for O yet, so... Did you already try decrypt data with twrp?

Nope. I got what I wanted at this point. I'm leaving well enough alone. I don't see having to really do anything with TWRP in the near future. I'll miss being able to do a full backup, and I'm a little annoyed I cant restore my 7.1 backup but I can live with that. I see I can decrypt but I'm a little gun shy and don't want to break anything again.
At the end of the day AOSP + viper is really all I needed.
Thanks again for all the help.
