Will the installer come back - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I'm not the most technical person, and am worried if I flash my nexus 10 by the current method I'll run into problems.
I understand there was previously a windows CyanogenMod installer.
Is this still under development or has it been abandoned?
Thanks

Flashing using ADB isn't that hard really.
just follow instructions on the CM wiki and once you have CM installed on it you'll be able to do OTA updates.

Android 4.4.4 on Acer A500 Working Partially
I was running ICS 4.03 and installed the 4.4.4 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705989
Using Skrilax V9 bootloader and CWM 6.0.4.5.
Omnirom Kitkat loads up fine but cannot restore apps through Titanium Backup and as it reports no Root access.
Also Google Play cannot locate this device but I can log in and see my apps using the stock Browser that was installed.
Made several attempts with Google Android Manager to no avail.
I assume this custom ROM has root access correct? If true, don't understand why Titanium Backup is complaining.
Location is set for Wi-Fi and mobile network to determine location.
So for now cannot restore my apps locally via Titanium Backup until I get to the bottom of the issue.
Your guidance appreciated as well as the work to make this ROM available to such a broad audience.
DISREGARD, I am getting everything working in the light version.
Rom for Acer A500
Hello I am new to the forum and also the modding and not perlo language very well.
I tried to flash the recovery "update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.7.3" the "OmniROM-4.4.4-Tegraowners ROM v21" the work went well but sometimes I crash.
Can you tell me what is currently the OmniROM 4.4.4 better and more stable than those in the first page, and if I can flash with the current recovery, (update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.7.3), pointing to the steps to do because I lost in the discussion not knowing the language in fact I am using the translator.
thanks

I used the instructions found at the beginning of the 4.4.4 Light version thread as the full version gave me issues. I didn't use the Thor recovery, Skrilax version 9 instead.

flickering screen with Facebook?????
I installed v6 of omni ROM on my Acer a500, and just updated to the newest version. Both ROMs are am some and smooth, but I have just one issue when I have Facebook open for a few minutes, I go to scroll down then the screen starts to flicker and I can't do anything. And to use it again I have to reboot otherwise I just get a black screen. It happens on both versions of the ROM, anyone else have this issue???. Thanks for any replies

Lockups
yeah i have been having a few issues along the same lines, i think its more to do with disk 'bandwidth' usage than the cpu. With low data throughput apps running it will run for days without issue, start downloading at 500kB/s (or sometimes as little as 370kB/s) and do some other disk intensive task and pop its gone! this could be biased a bit by my experience of it as i quite often use the A500 to dl things or load it up with stuff before a journey etc.. have also had it get stuck in deep sleep modes but think thats the disk issue as well...
Could it be overfilling it disk buffers or something? not much experience with android hardware but this tablets a bit old now and new roms may be expecting the inbuilt storage to be performing a little faster than the a500's can deal with
Also have tried all the available i/o schedulers and none seem to have and noticeable difference in time between hangs, although without bothering to setup proper test conditions i cant really say much really
oops was meant to be in reply to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60787006&postcount=293 meh....
LNX partition not loading?
Hello and sorry if it's an easy question but it's my first time trying to install roms. I've followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705989 to install OmniRom 4.4.4 on my iconia A500. I installed Skrilax bootloader V9 and then CWM 6.0.4.5 on my device and up to now everything worked well. I then put OmniRom 4.4.4 build 8 and gapp pico on a micro sd card, wiped data using CWM then install the rom (from /storage/sdcard1) then installed the gapp (also from /storage/sdcard1), then wiped cache partition and rebooted. I've been stuck on the Skrylax "booting android image from LNX partition" for half an hour now... Where did I make a mistake?

Using TWRP-2.6.3.0 to install Omni 4.4.4
Hi all,
Just want to know if it does matter to use TWRP-2.6.3.0 (instead of 2.6.3.1) to install Omni 4.4.4...???
Anyway, the installation went through w/out any issue. I'm using my revived Acer-A500 (was bricked for almost 2 yrs).
W/out this XDA-Dev's great resource, I would not be able to revive my bricked Acer-A500 & running Omni 4.4.4 (CM-11) now.
Many thanks to everyone on the board, especially, Skrilax, blackthund3r, civato & all the great XDA-Dev team...!!!
Cheers,

Need to downgrade the Os from 5.0 to 4.4

Hey there, I've recently bought a Nexus 7 with the latest os already installed on it, which has made it run slower with every passing day.
I did a bit of googling and found that a lot of people had issues with their Nexus 7s after they upgraded to the latest os.
So now I'm wanting to downgrade to the previous os and I read in an article on Androidcentral that said getting a custom rom would be the best way to go to (I'm guessing) either get a previous os or get a streamlined version of the one I already have.
So I need help finding the best rom for my purposes, I'm very new to this sort of thing, in terms of roms,flashing and downgrading os and such so any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd love to be able to use this tablet St something other than the speed of smell lol.
@EddieHades welcome to the community. First of all it's always the best method using a custom ROM, but make sure you have unlocked bootloader. If you don't have unlock bootloader then you've to do it first, make sure you've backed up all your data. Second choice if you want to stick with stock rom. Then just go to this link and download your preffered stock ROM as per your device, make sure you've downloaded proper images. Then download Nexus Root Toolkit and flash that image and you're good to go.

Can you provide instruction on how to disassemble the phone. Also where to order spares from. The digitiser on my Storm is cracked and Wileyfox want to charge me the price of a new phone to replace it.

Eh, sorry mate, I don't know how to disassemble the device and no one else sure as hell knows how to do it (at least on other websites). There are only reviews and unboxing experiences of the Wileyfox Storm and guides on how to flash ROMs, root and recoveries, etc. But some member will help you out, surely! If nobody seems to be knowing the issue, pm a forum moderator so that he/she can guide you to some links/methods. :fingers-crossed: Best of Luck!

Downgrade to android 6.0 marshmallow
Hello everyone, well recently my phone updated to android 7.1.1 and I didn´t like very much, so could help me and tell me if is there a way to go back to android marshmallow 6.0, just like it came when I bought it. Is it possible and does anyone know how to do it?
Okay so im trying to get lineage Os on my phone, this OS isn't working at all i get in bootloops etc. So i tried AOSP extended and i managed to get this working. But when i try to install gapps or try to flash Super su or magisk it returns error 1. The problem is in the recovery probably. So i tried to flash / boot a different TWRP version but all of the other versions give me this error: FAILED (remote: dtb not found). I would appreciate any help i can get i am hardstuck because i cant get a proper working TWRP recovery working and the only rom i am able to flash is AOX but without gapps that isnt worth much.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, what build of LineageOS are you trying to install??? If it is dated 12.07.2017 or 05.07.2017 - it won't work at all. That builds are broken. Use 28.06 or 21.06 build.
Secondly, what TWRP version do you use? I installed LOS via TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Newer version is available now.
And what bootloader version do you have on your Storm. I mean what stock ROM was installed before installing TWRP.

It seems to me, AEX is pre-rooted and comes with magisk pre-installed. When I installed that - only gapps were necessary.
Gapps need to be installed immediately after installing ROM, without any reboot.

I was using 05/07 build so that explains that. Im using TWRP 3.0.3.0 Kipper, but i can't find newe TWRP builds for the wileyfox storm, if you could give me some links that would be great. Stock rom was android 7.1 i believe and bootloader version is 'kipper-N-g2253387'. When i installed AEX via my (probably corrupt) TWRP recovery it says it also flashed Magisk but once the phone starts and i go to the magisk app it says im unrooted and so does rootchecker say. I think my biggest problem is with the TWRP recovery. If you could get me the download links of the versions your using that would be great.
Here you can get TWRP

Thanks to kligli from 4pda
Maybe the bootloader from 7.1-wileyfox is not compatible with Lineage OS.
Before flashing TWRP and LOS, I rolled back to COS 13.1.5 official Wileyfox ROM via fastboot. So I don't really know whether it is compatible or not.

So i flashed the twrp 3.1 and that works, it installs gapps now and no error with lineage OS, im gonna boot phone soon hopefully lineage will start to, i didnt know what gapps to flash but i tried the arm64 because i read it somewhere. But isn't the Storm ARM?
Use ARM64 - 7.1 - nano or pico GApps. Lineage official site said it works even without any GApps, but I have not tried that.
So I just bought a wileyfox storm few days ago and am on 7.1.1 what is the rooting method thanks.

Hi!
new here, so can't ask in development thread, but i have the following problem with installing Paranoid Android Beta 2.0 from here:

Trying to install beta 2 gives the following error:

Sorry if its common knowledge, but i wasnt able to find any info about what to do in this case.

Can you just downgrade OOS to Android 10 and then flash TWRP or is it impossible?

Hi, I recently bought an used OnePlus 8 Pro and it was already updated to Android 11. After repairing it, I discovered that it's not possible to run TWRP on this firmware version.
Couldn't I just go ahead and downgrade the OS in order to run TWRP on it or is it basically impossible like on the latest Samsung Galaxy S-series devices?
Would be glad if someone could answer me that question. I kinda tried to boot into twrp because I was too quick to read the thread but it just caused my device to run into Qualcomm Emegency Mode.
What do you need twrp for? If it's just to root and almost everything else... It can be done via other means.

Hmmmm the way I've seen a lot of custom roms... They're installed/flashed partition by partition in bootloader via fastboot.....I guess if you have to use twrp to flash the entire rom you do need to downgrade to os 10.

Thank you for your response. i think i just did not catch up the latest progress. Would you please help me find the instruction about how to flash rom in the new way you mentioned ? thank you so much.
And i still have the same question , is it necessary for us to downgrade to android 10 and then start flashing rom.

I just looked at some popular ones like Pixel experience and Lineage and they're both flashed in this way. Look at the opening post where the instructions are... Seems like Pixel Experience there's a batch file that flashes the partitions but it's essentially done this way without twrp.

Because it requires installing rom from recovery, so I get stuck here.
The problem is the device enters crash dump mode when switched to recovery mode. I guess the reason is that my p8pro is in andriod 11 before i flash recovery. now the device can enter android 11 normally but the recovery don't function. So I am here to ask is it necessary for me to downgrade to android 10 to solve the problem.

Thank you for your reply, it help me a lot. i have already flash my device lineage os . Regarding the problem i mentioned in my last reply, it seems the install guide is for android 10. As for android 11 , i think it needs a payload dumper to extract all files and flash them one by one.

I think the answer depends why do you need twrp. If you just want to flash a rom like me, you can find a custom rom supporting android 11,for example lineage os and you can flash all files it requires without twrp.
If you want to flash a android 10 rom or you just want to flash twrp , i don't know how, maybe you should downgrade.
