Can't flash cm13 nightly in twrp

I'm currently running cm 13 20151211 nightly on my D802. When i try to flash a new nightly in twrp it's stuck on the flashing screen. I've let it flash overnight and it was still flashing in the morning. When i reboot the device using the button combination it boots back into cm 13 20151211 nightly with xposed still installed so it hasn't even touched the system files. I'm using the latest blastagator twrp.

Maybe bad download redownload

I've already downloaded the nightly multiple times, using the cm updater and using chrome. I also tried downloading using a pc. Nothing worked.

I made a twrp backup of my rom, wiped data, system, cache and dalvik cache. Then I tried to flash the new nightly and succeeded. Then I flashed the gapps and did a restore of my data. The rom booted perfectly and is running smootly now. Thank you for your help!

Hiiii

Galaxy S4 i9500 - CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) - GApps crashing constantly

So today I went from stock 5.0.1 to CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) but gapps keeps crashing which makes my phone semi useless
First Things first
1. Flashed TWRP using Odin
2. Went into recovery and wiped Data and System
3. Installed CM 12.1
4. Installed GApps
5. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted
Phone boots up normally, And after unlocking the screen a stream of errors emerges, Not sure if i'm using the right gapps or not
Any help is much appreciated

Did you by any chance use Opengapps? Opengapps is like a hit or miss. Some days they work and some days then don't.
Try these gapps:

You need to perform a full wipe though.

Yes I did try Opengapps which also didn't work
Edit: The gapps is 6.x.x while my phone is 5.1.1, That won't break my phone will it?

You need 5.1 gapps then.

I think you can try a complete boot before flashing Gapps. And try other builds of Opengapps like mini or micro(well or even smaller depending your "Google apps" usage)

Thanks for the reply, I'm downloading micro right now. Gonna fresh install CM 12.1 using TWRP then boot my phone fully before going back to recovery and flashing Gapps
Will edit my post within 30 mins with the result
Edit: No luck, And now for some reason my phone does not recognise my sim card

Could you try GearCM? Official CM for i9500 had lots of issues.

Strange... because the symptoms shows like a mismatched gapps to cm... btw are you using the lastest TWRP?
If Yes try other recoveries. I used to use Philz until I bricked mine and had to flash back to stock and now I'm using a modified TWRP to enable dual boot.
If No then try update it and give it another try?

I recommend against doing this. The other recoveries are outdated and will give you problems. Stick with the latest TWRP.

I think that i didn't express myself very well. Yes it's advisable and strongly recommended to use lastest builds of any recovery available as stable build.
But once i had to use Philz to flash a MIUI ROM because TWRP 2.8.6.0 was unable to execute the installation script didn't know why and that's why i said about different recoveries, and oh.... I forgot to say that after successful install rollback to TWRP because it's pretty new , stable and more user friendly than others.(CMW and the rainbow Easter egg was fine but having to use vol and power keys..... NO THANKS!)

Paranoid Android Discussion Thread

One of the most popular custom ROM projects of the last few years, Paranoid Android lost many of its core developers to OnePlus in February 2015. OnePlus recruited them to develop its in-house, following its breakup with Cyanogen. Predictably, PA releases slowed to a crawl, with the last major release, based on Android 5.1, [coming out in July. In October, project lead Matt Flaming announced what pretty much everyone had been suspecting for a while – the Paranoid Android project was on hold.
Now the Paranoid Android project is back into the spotlight, with over a dozen new team members and a new feature-packed release that’s been nine months in the making.
Features coming in this release, some of them familiar and some new, include an improved floating window mode, immersive mode, on-the-spot controls for the behavior of the notification dropdown, a polished quick settings re-order mechanism, battery style, an advanced power dialog, support for Paranoid OTA updates, a theme engine, and support for layers. For certain devices, including OnePlus and Oppo phones, the release offers advanced features like an enhanced kernel, advanced gesture control, and support for the alert slider and fingerprints scanner.:laugh:

Some revival. I flashed it and I'm stuck at the OnePlus logo. Apparently someone with a OP2 had the same problem and he fixed it by flashing the system partition before flashing the ROM. I did the same and my phone still won't boot up. Oh well.
I used both TWRP 3 and 2.8.7.0 and am also coming from an unaltered COS 13.

Same issue as @aarthyn. Wiped data, flashed it stuck at OnePlus logo. Used TWRP 2.8.6.1 and came from Sultan's Unofficial CM13 (6.0.1) May 26 build. Restored my backup and now it comes up with a SIM Card not found error.
Not happy.

Oh great, I was hoping that wouldn't happen. Looks like I'll have to do the full fastboot works to make sure everything's the way it should be.
At least I know it's not just me.

How to flash PA rom....
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash latest CM nightlies (optional)
3. Factory reset
4. Flash PA rom and Bank's Gapps
5. Reboot into system
6. Setup your devices
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash SuperSu
9. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
10. Reboot into system
11. Done
Only PA rom and Bank's Gapps can be flash together....if you're planning to flash SuperSu or Custom Kernel you need to reboot into system first then boot back to recovery to flash them (wipe cache and dalvik after flashing them)....

People who are coming from CyanogenOS 13, check your partitions. They might be formatted to f2fs, which may be why your phones don't go past the bootanimation. Mine were formatted to ext4, and I had absolutely no problems doing a clean flash from SultanXDA's latest CM13 build.

Take it you were on the June build of SultanXDA's build @#define? I was on the 26 May version and I got stuck at the OnePlus logo screen.

yeah charging sucks in the stock kernel need to know which are the customs one !

wow there's a 6/8 build for the OPO already at PA!

You need to change your filesystems to ext4 before flashing the rom.Otherwise it won't boot.But I cannot see any customization in the rom!

CM 14.1 in TWRP Recovery Loop

I had CM 14.1 working properly on my Nexus 4 with one of the early nightlys. Not leaving well enough alone I let it do a cm update to a newer 14.1 nightly. I didn't see any issue, but when it went to reboot from TWRP it just reboots to TWRP not the system.
Any ideas how to recover from this?

Had the same problem. Solution: Had to flash back to original stock Android, then TWRP let me flash the latest CM nightlies and Gapps pico. Will not try to use CM updater again.. Grrr.

How do I revert to stock miui without pc

I am running resurrection remix mm 5.7.4 with twrp 3.0.2 by kumajaya on my redmi 2 prime with lollipop bootloader( 2014818 Indian 2 gb ram variant )
I lost my miui twrp backups and now my pc is not working too.
I want to install miui on my phone back preferably lollipop miui 7.
Is there any way to do so without a pc recovery itself?

Download the recovery zip file of MIUI by googling it. (Version you required)
If you want latest version.
Then Google 'MIUI downloads' and search your device and download the ROM.
Then head over to TWRP and flash the zip.
It will give error for the first time.
Flash it again.
It will get flashed.
Then hit reboot, and reboot your device.
Voila! Now you have MIUI on your device.

I have successfully installed miui lollipop base on my redmi 2 prime without any errors.
Also I have confirmed from external app and settings the information of the device that it shows the correct device info.( provided my custom showed correct device info ).
I tried installing the miui ROM as sethidheeraj said. I started wiping system artcache cache and data but was not able to install miui after repeated tries
Then I restored my custom ROM backup
Then by following these steps I got miui back :
1 install your custom ROM( I had rr 5.7.4 mm) or restore your custom ROM backup
2 boot to recovery and flash the miui ROM without wiping system partition
3 it will take real good amount of time and the logs displayed on twrp also aren't very long, don't worry it is still being installed
4 just for your surity wipe data and caches and again flash the miui ROM
5 reboot to system and take a drink for a while coz it is the first boot
Tadaaaa
You have your stock miui back
Also no damages to your recovery or anything.

Download twrp 3.0.2.0 of kumajaya twrp because its device model no will be in wt88047etc...not hm2014818...use flashify app tp flash recovery. Img on using ur rooted custom rr remix...boot to recovery... Wipe cache, dalvil, system,data....then make sure Miui lp rom is in internal memory.... Then install it...it will give some error on start....then install again...it will take around 20min for install plus full boot up.

I don't have a video tho but I meant that you should only wipe data and caches but leave system as it is. ( My phone had rr marshmallow installed before.) After rr I haven't tried any custom roms so I don't know whether it will work on others. So just flash miui 7.5 like you would for an OTA but do wipe your data and caches
