Hi,
I've recently rooted my phone and installed my first ROM - Resurrection Remix - and it's notified my of an update (v3.1.3) and downloaded the zip for me. My question is how do I safely update RR?
When I first installed it I had to perform a number of steps wiping and clearing things before installing from a zip using CWM. Hopefully I don't have to do all of these as I don't want to have to completely reinstall every update, but do I have to do any of them still or do I just install from the zip in CWM without any other steps?

Have you read the first posts of the ROM thread?
Maybe there is a description of how to install the update.
If not, then you can just flash the update zip file in CWM recovery and try to reboot normally.
If everything works fine ... that's it.
If you have issues, boot into recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik cache and reboot normally again.
If that does not help, then you might have to wipe data (do a factory reset) in recovery.
But I think that these steps are not needed as you are already on this custom ROM.
(Usually you only have to do the complete wipe steps when coming from another / stock ROM - and the other way round.)
Good luck !
P.S.: Always create a nandroid backup before flashing. So you are able to "go back" if needed.

Hi!
I need some help with understanding of flashing custom roms e.t.c.
If I have 4.3 ( latest official update ), is it possible that I upgrade to CM11 4.4? Or I just can flash roms wich are based on 4.3?
Dont get it!
Thank you for responding!
If you have custom recovery installed, then you can install Compatible ROMs for your device (such as CM 4.4). If you are running stock or another ROM, then by entering custom recovery and making Nandroid backup first, you can install the ROM. To install, read the post for ROM you want to make sure compatible/whats needed (like GApps, etc), download, backup current ROM if isssue happens (to save yourself), WIPE data/factory reset, WIPE cache/dalvik cache, install ROM/etc as directed via the ROM post page. As long as you can meet these, you can flash what you'd like.

Welcome, make sure you do your research though on flashing and the ROM in case there are issues with the ROM specifically (ex. Bluetooth not working, or something). Any one thing missing (didn't flash GApps, ROM problem, etc) can cause issue. If no issues or you can live around them if they exist, then good luck.
Hi guys! I've been trying for the last hours to install Cyanogenmod 11 on a friend's S3 international (i9300). After some driver problems CM now installs fine, but after the installation finishes and the phone reboots the phone reverts to Samsung's stock firmware. Even though I select yes at the question that should prevent stock recovery from occurring.
I have tested every solution I could find out there to prevent this:
1. After CM setup finishes, I pull the battery and start the phone in Clockworkmod by holding Vol-up+home+power. Then I have wiped the cache, data and dalvik cache and rebooted. Still reverting to stock.
2. I have tried rooting the phone and removing /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using Root explorer before starting the installation. There was however no file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which was also mentioned in som guides.
Nothing seems to work.
I can't understand that I'm the only one having this problem. Is there a solution out there? Thanks!

Thanks! The reason I did not do this before was that I am not really comfortable installing manually and was afraid to brick the phone (since it's not mine). But I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly
It's a shame that the automatic installer can't handle this though.

Haha! Actually you won't brick your device by installing a ROM for your device. You can only brick it by flashing a ROM from other device without porting it, and I think this will be then only soft-bricked. A hard-brick can be done by flashing basebands from different devices. But I hope you won't do that
Actually by installing a ROM only your system(apps, vendor files, tweaks, etc.) and boot partition(kernel, etc.) will be overwritten. And that won't hard-brick your device
But I can understand your fear. I was same as you when I was a beginner
recently i have rooted my samsung s2 plus gt-I1901p, then installed supersu and rom manager....I wanted to flash custom rom. So first I done recovery clock mode 6.0.4.5 or something not sure than I done a backup and than I download pac man custom rom......and when I try to falsh it with rom manager did not work.....I try it manualy 3-4 times and also did not work... every time was some kind of error and after each time I done reboot system now and everything was normal...only after last boot somehow it could not reboot....it was md5 data error...I try it several times and finaly I did advanced recovery and start from data and aggain error......so I just turn it off and on and my phone was fine....but I did not have some of my app......viber, skype, rom manager....I try it to install rom manager aggain and than I had an errod code -24...what should I do know.

This could be caused by the corruption of google play store files. You should reinstall rom and install the proper gapps file. Make sure to wipe system, cache, data and dalvik cache before reinstalling any rom. md5 errors are caused by the corruption of flashable cwm zip files. Try a different rom and this should fix your problems.

thank you very much......I allready installed new ROM Cyanogenmod 11 and full GAPPS 4.4.2 with Rom Manager and everything is ok now.:good:
Hi;
So i recently installed CyanogenMod 13.0 on to my Samsung S4 GT-I9505 using the first download link on:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx --> cm-13.0-20160102-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
That all installed fine, but i wanted to get the Google apps installed aswell, which is where i am having some issues.
I have been trying to install the following package:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
but have also tried to install quite a few others as well, and all have exactly the same issue. Basically after the apps have been installed and i boot the device up, i get various error messages like:
unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped
unfortunately, google play services has stopped
Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated, as nothing seems to download from the play store thats included in Cyanogen, they just say "your download will begin shortly" but never does.
Thanks in advance
I am a total noob, but I had exactly this problem. The issue appears to be that you have to flash gapps *before* rebooting after flashing CM. In my case since I had already flashed CM before I flashed gapps I had to put the gapps file on the phone (I did this by push with adb, you might find an easier way), re-flash CM, wipe cache/dalvik, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. It worked.
The easiest guide I found was on androiding.how, called "how to install cm13 (cyanogenmod13)." (The forum won't let me post a link, just google it, it should come up).
Hope that helps. I'm on a galaxy s5 and used twrp recovery if that matters.

Thanks for the reply, i gave that a try and it seems to be stuck on a loop now with "installing app # of 22" . it completes the installation and then reboots, after about 5 minutes on the Cyanogen boot screen, it goes back to installing apps again.
Hm, did you do a factory reset in your recovery before re-flashing CM and gapps? If not, that might be necessary.

Yeah, i did. Tried it multiple times now
That's about the limit of my ability right there, hopefully someone with more experience than me can point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Boot to recovery (preferably TWRP)
Wipe cache / dalvik cache / data / system
Flash CM13 and the gapps you were trying first
Reboot
Profit!
Since you keep flashing different gapps on top of the system, this is probably causing some issues. Once you fully wipe and reflash everything, it should work.

Ive tried that multiple times using twrp (i always wipe everything before i flash CM13 and gapps), i still get the exact same issue. The second the phone boots, i get all these "unfortunately ******** has stopped".
Perhaps try installing 12.1 with gapps, get it all updated then upgrade to 13. I did the accidental upgrade to 13 but have had no issues whatsoever.
Hello everybody,
i was finally able to upgrade my i9100 to the latest lineageOS from a samsung stock 4.1.2, i've been using it for a week and it works beautifully, i really thank the developers for their big effort!
Now, i received a notification telling me that there is an update available, version 2017-10-04. I tried to download it from the phone, but the download keeps failing as soon as it starts. Did it happen with you too? I could download the .zip package on my pc and reboot into recovery again, but i'd like to ask all of you what's the best way to proceed, is it going to wipe all of my data? Do i just need to install the custom rom without any additional package?
Thanks in advance
Everything is updated in different ways. I'm through OTA, someone through the recovery.
Install in TWRP ROM lineage-14.1-20171004-nightly-i9100-signed.zip, make "Wipe Cache / Dalvik" and reboot.
Do not worry, it will not erase your data.
Good luck to you.

thank you very much for your answer,i have one question left:
in order to upgrade to lineageOS, i 've been following a youtube guide, and i'm having some doubts about these steps:
[...]
5) INSTALL ROM, GAPPS, ROOT and KERNEL
Still under TWRP Home screen -> go to Install zip and set Storage to External-Storage.
We need to install files 1 by 1.
Select lineage-14.1-*.zip and Swipe to flash,
Then select addonsu-arm-signed.zip, and Swipe to flash,
### You get this error : Updater process ended with signal: 4, Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/addonsu-arm-signed.zip'
### -> Just don't care Root is correctly installed.
then open_gapps-arm-7.1*.zip, and Swipe to flash,
then CustomKernel-[v1.3]*.zip and Swipe to flash.
Then wipe cache/dalvik,
then reboot system.
Do i need to install addonsu-arm-signed.zip and customKernel again after upgrading lineageOS? I dont' usee google apps so i don't care about that part, but the kernel step is bothering me, does the kernel get overwritten when i update? Thanks again
Don't worry about the custom kernel at all, just use the Lineage one. It will come with the rom and be updated with each update.
You need to flash addonsu for root, but it will keep you rooted persistently so you don't have to flash after updates.
In summary, since you're going gapp-less, all you need is LOS zip and addonsu.
thanks! I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly!
