I officially upgraded to 3.0.2, unlocked and rooted my phone.
It was fine for the first few times I flashed multiple ROMs. But ever since I flashed Exodus, I keep having issues switching to different ROM.
A week ago, I flashed "Switch to OOS3_H2OSMMv7" zip and was able to flash Resurrection Remix, but today when I tried switching to CM13 or PA it gets stuck at flashing the ROM zip. I tried flashing the firmware zip again and flash the ROM, but to no avail. It won't flash any ROMs now, just stuck at recovery while flashing the zip.
I have a working fastboot and recovery mode though, so I'm trying to avoid flashing the entire factory image but that seems to be only option left. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Edit: Resurrection Remix gets installed fine, CM13 and PA still giving me issues.
Edit: I downloaded the latest version of CM13 and it works. Earlier I was using June 30 build which seems to have issues with the new firmware. I'll try out the new PA build to see if it fixes that too.
What error does your recovery gives?
Do you have Data Backup?
Can you access ADB while in Recovery?

It does not show any error as it just looping while installing the zip. I have to force shut down the phone to exit it.
Yes, I have backed up all my data
Yes, I am able to access my phone in both ADB and in fastboot modes.
After flashing Custom ROM, Wipe data, cache, d-cache and then reboot.
If still doesnt work try flashing another custom ROM. You can use adb-sideload to flash another zip in recovery mod.

Hello,
I've rooted my own note 3 and flashed Temaseks unofficial cm 12 rom. Everything works perfect so I decided to do the same thing for my father. It all went well, first I rooted his phone, then I flashed CWM and flashed cm 12 by temasek. The rom works fine but I forget to install the Gapps. So I tried to install Gapps but I got an error "Failure Status 6". I googled on that error and someone told it has to do something with CWM. I tried to flash a different version of CWM but now I can't reboot into recovery mode anymore. So I can't flash anything.
I flashed another version of CWM but this one also doesn't work. Whenever I try to boot the phone into recovery mode, the blue line shows up. Rebooting into recovery mode, but after a few secs, the phone just boots the normal way. Is there anyone that can help me to get CWM back to work? In the mean time I'll try to flash TWRP by Odin.
Thanks in advance!
So I flashed latest version of CWM: Buildversion; 6.13.0, CWM Base Version V6.0.4.7. I can reboot into recovery now but still can't install Google Apps due to failure status 6. On my own Phone I run a different version of CWM, but when I try to flash it, the phone won't boot into recovery mode anymore. It only boots into recovery when I flash this V6.0.4.7 . How can I get rid of this version and flash an older version of CWM?
You'll probably have to Odin back to stock and start over...

You mean If there is no other way to get the Google Apps on the phone, I have to go back to stock. I did make a backup with CWM on the while it was running custom firmware. Now I have 4 files on my comuter, 3.tar and 1.md5 . If I recover them, I will still have this not working CWM version on my phone right? Isn't there a easier way to delete CWM, can I flash TWRP over CWM and see if it will install these Gapps?
Yeah, you should be able to flash TWRP over it. TWRP is much better anyway, in my opinion. Once you get the recovery issue sorted, I really wouldn't't recommend trying to flash just the gapps. It would probably work, but it's also quite likely to cause some weird issues. It's always best to flash gapps immediately after flashing a ROM, without leaving recovery.
I would flash TWRP, wipe everything but your internal SD, re-flash the ROM, flash the gapps, and everything should be cherry.
Edit: here is the link to download TWRP.

I appreciate your effort, thank you. The recovery issue is solved. I flashed Chainfires Root script and that installed the stock recovery. However, when I tried to install and older CWM version I got back in the recovery reboot cycle. But once I installed the latest CWM it booted in recovery. So I flashed Chainfires Root once again and had the stock recovery back. From there on I tried to install TWRP but got the recovery boot cycle again. My phone is now running android 5.0.2 and I think that's the problem.... :S I'll try again to flash Chainfires Root script to get the stock recovery back. From there on I will try to flash the link you gave to me with Odin and hope that will fix it. Do you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Your version of TWRP works so far. It reboots into RecoveryMode. Now I'll wipe and try to install Temaseks Cm 12 followed by Gapps! Thanks so far!
Okay, it's solved. Can't thank you enough for you help. Bless you!!
No problem. Glad you got it figured out!

I flashed Frank N4 ROM and my device has been crashing since then. It freezes randomly, becomes totally unresponsive for 5-10 seconds, then reboots. And even when not in use, the device keeps on crashing and rebooting randomly.
I have tried both BaNks as well as Txuki Gapps. Same issue persists.
I have reflashed stock rom, flashed latest twrp, wiped everything except Internal Storage, flashed rom and gapps, wipe cache and dalvik. Done this like 3-4 times. Still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried another ROM, to see if the issue is there as well? If not I would suggest that.
Thanks for your reply!
This was my first Marshmallow ROM. I used to be on Paranoid Android(the latest stable one) and before that on stock rooted 5.1.1. Never had this kind of issue before.
I'll try another Marshmallow ROM and report back.
EDIT: I tried another Marshmallow ROM. I'm experiencing the same issue. I guess all Marshmallow ROMs will make my phone crash. Any help?
When you installed stock did you do it with a zip and recovery or with fastboot? If you did it via recovery I would suggest doing it with fastboot. This is a guide to do so: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/

I installed stock via fastboot. Erased data, system, Internal Storage, Dalvik, Cache via twrp. When that didn't work i installed stock 5.1.1 via fastboot.
I am trying to flash my N4 with cyanogenmod following the official wiki.
I'm at the point where I've installed TWRP into recovery, I've wiped everything (I've even formatted them since I couldn't wipe all of it initially), and the only error I see is "unable to mount /usb-otg".
Then, I've "installed" the CN zip files for the 13 and 12 versions, none of them works in the sense that when I reboot the system, I'm always coming back to TWRP.
What's wrong? Any suggestion?
Thanks
I've the same problems with my nexus 4

Hi gerardgerard,
I also wanted to flash my Nexus 4 with Cyanogenmod 12.1. So I installed TWRP into recovery and wiped everything, like it's explained in the wiki. I can also see the error "unable to mount /usb-otg". When I want to reboot the system I always get back to TWRP. Cyanogenmod doesn't boot correctly. Did you find a solution for the problem?
same problem
Hi
I'm having the same problem. As follows:
Cause (my mistake): I have been using Cyanogen-mod nightlies for a couple of months on my Nexus 4, and made the grave mistake of leaving the phone to upgrade one night but without it being plugged in properly - and it ran out of power part way through! (At least, that's what I think happened).
Fortunately, it would boot into bootloader and I could use adb/fastboot. I (re)installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 (from my Mac, using fastboot). And that works fine - I can boot into twrp ok.
Next I loaded the latest nightly from cm (using fastboot - is this what people call sideloading?) and used twrp to install it. It goes through the installation fine (the only error message is that it can't mount /usb-otg). But when I reboot it just goes back to twrp.
I then tried installing the earlier cm nightly that I know worked, but with the same result.
Finally, before I first installed cm I did a backup (using twrp), and I have tried recovering that. It seems to do all the right things, but again when I reboot it just goes back to twrp.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Flash back to a completely stock ROM and run through the set up to make sure everything works. Then copy CM to the phone, reboot to fastboot, flash twrp, immediately boot into recovery using the volume and power button without leaving fastboot, wipe data, cache, system, flash CM, reboot.
If the phone will not boot after flashing a stock ROM, boot to fastboot, flash the userdata.img file, and immediately go to stock recovery without leaving fastboot, wipe data/cache, reboot.
It works now!
I managed to fix the problem ... I found this guide for the Nexus 5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
and I applied those instructions. It didn't work first time, so I just repeated them and now it's working. I used the 5.1.1 stock downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam.
I guess this is what audit13 means in their post - so thanks are due there.
I will next reinstall twrp and cm and I don't expect any problems with that (having done it successfully before).

I've had many roms flashed on my op2 through twrp, but now whenever i try to flash any rom(cm, exodus, aicp etc.) I get error 7. I tried deleting asserts line on "updater-script" but no luck...
Current rom: Resurrection remix 5.6.9

Hi, If you already have twrp recovery and you can boot into twrp recovery, then you need to download stock oxygen os 2.2.1 ota.
when you download oxygen os 2.2.1 ota, flash it via twrp recovery, after that wipe factory data reset, then you flash your custom roms later. this will bypass the error 7 and you will have to resume enjoying your custom roms.
Here's what happens, when u totally erases the system, data, and formats everything with twrp recovery, custom roms don't run again, i think they kinda need some basic files from the stock rom to enable them to run. i experienced this myself with aicp and this is how i fixed it. so go on, look for the oxygen 2.2.1 ota.zip, download, flash, then wipe data fastory reset, then you can now have your custom roms flashed and working. again.
Right!! but oos 3.0 official is also working

It's there to protect you from flashing a ROM incompatible with your current bootloader (there's two of them, pre oos3 and oos3 bootloader/fastboot).
So if you want to flash a ROM which is Lollipop (or using Lollipop bootloader like easier versions of Graraks and Seraph08s builds) you will have to restore your phone to oos2.x.x first. Same goes the other way around, and also your recovery system must be compatible with respective bootloader.
This info should be force-feeded to every noob checking in on this forum hoping for an easy swapping of ROMs on this phone, which is not gonna happen because of this.
I am currently using a OnePlus 5 which used to run on a stock based rom, xxxNoLimits v3.1
Since the dev ended the support I wanted to revert back to pure OOS, so I downlaoded the newest 5.1.5 zip and followed the instructions using the newest blu_spark twrp recovery but right after pressing the "flash" button I kept getting error 7, so I download the zip from a mirror link and I have also tried the newest version of codeworkx twrp, still error 7. Then I tried flashing the original stock recovery in order to flash the zip but it instantly threw me back to the zip selection menu, flashing the zip via adb sideload kept quitting at exactly 47%. At this point I was pretty frustrated, I flashed twrp codeworkx again and wiped EVERYTHING, which includes the system, data, cache, dalvik partitions and then I also did a format on the data partition, the point was that now I would have a clean phone only running twrp and I thought I could easily flash the newest zip now without any problems, NOPE, still error 7!!! Now I am stuck here, the stock recovery doesnt let me flash anything and I've tried 4 different versions of twrp recoverys and every single one gives me the same error, I even dug up an older version of OOS, I think it which I had running for a few weeks without any probles so I knew that the zip was not corrupted but same error
Now I had given up and wanted to restore the backup I did just in case anything goes wrong, well, restoring the backup fails when it tries to restore the data partition, so I unchecked everything except system, system image and recovery but it didnt work, now I am sitting here with my phone telling me that there's no OS installed. any advice?
Use Unbrick Tool and Restore
Hey,
You can Flash your Mobile using the Unbrick tool at - https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=204903
Use the Latest file which I guess comes with OOS 5.1.3 - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962339331458999196
If you try to Go to Open Beta ROM First Flash Open Beta 12--> Open Beta 13 --> Open Beta 17

Hi ! Do you have some news about it ? I have the same issue since Monday...
I've tried like anything i've found and even more, but nothing did the job ...
The only way to have my OP5 working is downgrade to an old version running Android 7.1.1
