i really need help - General Paranoid Android Discussion

I really want to run PA on my nexus 6p.
Everytime i install i get 2 corrupt system warnings one in yellow one in red.
Phone doesnt work correctly other members are running this rom just fine
flashed super su,updated vendor image,tried new download what in the world could be the problem.
Freezes reboots,phone apk wont work etc.

A. The "error" message you see is normal when you unlock and ROM your phone. It started with the Nexus 6p and 5x.
B. In recovery, wipe data, system, then install ROM, GAPPs. Boot and verify it works. Then reboot to recovery and flash the latest SuperSU.

[Q] i9505 (jgedlte) fails to boot system after installing ROM

I'm trying to install CM via TWRP.
First I had to unlock the bootloader, so I did, and since then I could not boot to my stock Android (although, correct me if I'm wrong, unlocking the bootloader should NOT delete the OS), it just sent me to recovery.
So I went along, flashed TWRP and got cm 10.2.1 for jfltexx. At first it didn't install well, because my data partition was not formatted correctly. So I formatted it, now TWRP sees it correctly and is able to mount it, enable MTP and everything. When I try to install now, everything seems fine and TWRP's log shows "Updating partition details..." and gives me the "Successful" message, offering to wipe cache/reboot system. (I did wipe cache and dalvik cache before, of course).
If I choose "Reboot System", it just boots back to recovery. The same happens if I power it off and boot normally, even if I pull out the battery and retry that way.
What can I do about it?

First I'd try a newer version of CM. That's an old one. It might not work and play well with a newer version of TWRP. Plus the newer version is a little more polished.
Second, if you must use that CM version, redownload it. You wouldn't be the first person who got a corrupted install file that causes screwball issues like this.
Third, if all else fails use Odin to reset back to stock and start over. Something might have gotten all borked up when you first modified the device that isn't letting the install work. A full restore to stock should correct that.

Thanks for the reply.
Regarding the versions of CM and TWRP, I deliberately picked these versions due to their high download count (A sign I can trust these builds, being not too buggy). I'll try a newer CM version and another TWRP version if that didn't help.
I will also verify the MD5 for the downloaded file this time.
If I restore to stock via Odin, wouldn't that override the recovery? I've looked on some tutorial on how it's done, and it seems like the stock recovery is flashed, then used to restore the stock. Is there any way to use Odin to flash other ROMs?
EDIT: Nope cm-11-20140210 also failed, and I did verify the MD5 now. My TWRP is the newest available for jgedlte in the download page (2.8.0.1).
I did manage getting into some sort of a boot loop (The initial "Reboot System" brought back the recovery, but after a full power off and a reboot, the screen remains black and the phone vibrates every 4 seconds or so.)
EDIT 2: I tried to flash the stock back, following this tutorial. I downloaded the Open European version, flashed the AP but it failed during the write of system.img.ext4, saying that the image is invalid. I tried again with the PIT file, but it failed too (secure check fail while repartitioning...).

Help! I flashed Cyanogenmod with OpenGapps and its just not booting!

So I did everythign I normally do with a new device!
1)I unlocked it through Fastboot
2) I downloaded the latest TWRP recovery image for that device and flashed it with Fastboot
3) I rebooted the device into recovery to check if everything is ok.
4) Proceeded to download Cyanogenmod for Nexus 6p (Angler) and OpenGapps ARM64 for 6.0 stock package and put them on the phone
5) Opened the Zips from the phone to check that none are corrupted
6) Wiped Everything on the phone via Advanced Wipe incl System, Data, Cache etc,
7) Flashed Cyanogenmod Zip first after that the Gapps package
8) Rebooted to System and waited for the phone to finish its first boot
This is where my problems begin. No matter what I do and how much I toubleshoot the first boot never seems to finish. I have played with devices long before I got the 6p and know that the first boot taked a long time but not this long!
I checked if it was the recovery, or the CM zip or Gapps but no matter how many scenarios I try and rule out Im stuck at the CM boot logo (Which seems pretty laggy). I even tried without gapps.
I searched online and cant find ppl with a similar problem. There are people who cant get past the Google logo but I get past that with no problem. Its just that I cant boot the OS.
I even checked a few guides to see if I missed a step when I was doing it on my own but no! I have done everything absolutely correctly and cant seem to find an issue this time (usually finding issues with Android and repairing them is my specialty ).
I can not think of ANYTHING that ive missed here. I just cant seem to find the problem. The hardware boots Stock/Factory imaged perfectly so its working fine. Where am doing wrong?

I'm not sure but on an old HTC phone I had the same issue which was caused by a mismatch between the rom version and phones firmware. I'm not sure how it works on the nexus hope someone here can help
Try different GAPPS ?

Have you tried flashing a vendor zip yet? Sounds like not booting cause missing binaries.

If you're able to get to twrp, wipe everything, flash cyanogen reboot, and then flash a different gappd

You must format data in TWRP or it won't boot.

Trying to install cyanogenmod to nexus 4, I cannot flash it through TWRP recovery

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).

Nexus 4 stuck on Lollipop boot animation

Hello everybody!
I followed this instruction to root my Nexus 4. After complete the instruction and reboot the phone I got a message 'Unfortunately SuperSU has Stopped working' and to fix this issue I followed this instruction.
After that when I reboot again my nexus 4 stuck in lollipop boot animation and at this point bad news for me is that apparently usb debugging has been disabled because when I run 'adb devices' I don’t receive any device name.
Could anybody help me please to resolve it?
If u have twrp recovery go for factory reset from there or u can use adb sideload. Otherwise look for the unbrick toolkit.
Ps: Lollipop takes lot longer to fresh install, the animation seems to go on for ages (15-20) mins or so.
Since the phone has LP, I assume you flashed a custom ROM.
Just boot into TWRP, copy over a custom ROM, wipe system, data, cache, flash ROM, flash Gapps, reboot.

How can I revert to factory state in my Leeco Le s3 (x522 US variant)

Hi friends! I really feel frustrated with this phone.
I began by using fastboot to flash TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-1-s2), used it to flash Lineageos 13.0, but IR BLASTER doesn't work, then I flashed 14.1 and IR blaster, Sim detection, flashlight and camera don't work correctly, I tried Resurrection remix and MIUI8 too but I gave up, neither of those Custom Roms works as I wanted them to.
So I went back to EUI and all was well until I wanted to update OTA, it gave me an error every time, tried to do it with update.zip but nothing, using stock recovery and nothing. I used TWRP and wipe everything again, now this thing won't start it just bootloops, I tried everything for two days and every time I use a stock ROM (5.8.020s) it gives me an error, or tells me it can't be read. When I factory reset and format everything it tells me I dont have an OS installed, so I'm completely lost I don't know what else to do and I can't return the phone because I'm overseas right now.
I really need to have it as when I got it the first time because at least it was functional but I just can't get it to work
I could really use some help right now :crying: thanks in advance guys!

So I managed to fix the problem. When you root this phone or in fact just flash a custom recovery like TWRP, it changes the model of the phone, If you unroot the phone you won't be able to receive OTAs anymore even if you are on stock ROM, you'll always get an error at the end of the update even if you do it manually, if you are dumb like me and didn't make a backup of your stock system, you won't find any help on the internet more than to install a custom ROM and learn to live with the errors and bugs. I did not want that so to be able to get the phone to its factory state, what I did was this:
1. Download: stock recovery image for Le s3 x522 (official, you can find it anywhere), LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip, twrp_s3.img (the chinese TWRP recovery) and S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
2. Save those zips to the root of the phone, obviously the .img files you are going to flash them through your PC
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode. command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the official recovery)
4. fastboot boot twrp (the chinese one)
5. From this step what I did was pure luck
6. wipe cache and dalvik and install LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip
7. wipe cache and dalvik and install bootloader-20S-s2.zip
8. wipe cache and dalvik and install S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
9. Reboot
How and Why did this worked I don't know, I am a noob but please try if you find yourself in the same situation as I was, you don't lose anything with trying, if this doesn't work don't blame me, this worked for my phone.
Greetings friends!
Thanks for putting this guide together, I am in a similar situation in that I reverted to stock everything (1. Installed YDSS chinese twrp, 2. Installed S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip. This flash was supposed to have installed the stock recovery and overriden the ydss twrp, but didn't, I had to manually flash that after. Everything came back smooth but my updates also failed at recovery.
I am wondering where you got the LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip & twrp_s3.img from?
Nice to hear you finally got it to work ! Aren't the X520 and the X522 the same phone ? Why official ROMs are not compatible ?
