Hello All,
I am currently running PA version 3.99 R2. Previous to that ROM I was running CM11.2.(an. 4.3) I can't for any reason at all get any Android 4.4 ROM to install without there being a failed error in the latest TWRP recovery. This is getting kind of annoying. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could share some insight as to why I can flash ANY ROM before 4.4 with no issues. I have tried CM12, PA 4 (4.4), both fail at the very end of installation. If you need any more info just ask.
Thanks,
Chris

Did you update your partitions? If so, you won't be able to run any roms until they're updated with the new settings.

You need to install the version of twrp specifically designed for kit kat. Otherwise all kit kat ROMs will fail. Look in the OP of Deck's cm 11 thread.

I just checked and I am running TWRP 2.6.3.0 as specified in that post. Any other suggestions?

There is a thread by Captain_Throwback that provides all the information for flashing the new firmware for the new partition layout. It will update you to the new 4.13.651.3 firmware, HBOOT 2.10, and the 2.6.3.1b TWRP. At this stage, you can flash the NEW versions being released for most KK ROMs (AOKP, Carbon, SlimKat, BeanStalk, etc.). Look for "New Layout" or "New Partition Setup" or something in the change logs to be sure.
I suggest going this route. After the firmware update, your partition layout will be changed (so back up everything and be prepared to not go back to any old ROMs without doing a VipeRUU or similar 3.16 downgrade) and you'll be good to go for the new generation of ROMs.

Flash the recovery in decks. That recovery has the same number but has magical powers to enable KitKat Roms to be flashed.

^This. You may be running 2.6.3.0 yes but it has to be the one with SElinux enabled. Flash the recovery in decks thread to be sure.
If you haven't run the RUU to update to 4.3 and change the partitions, you can't run any of the new ROMs that support that format. Be sure to read the OP's carefully for any ROM you are trying to flash.

Ok, i will give that a try. Decks post though doesn't have much of any step by step instructions... Will i still be able to use a freshly installed 4.3 rom after the firmware and all the other updates? Do i simply just install the new recovery and flash away? Thanks

If you haven't ran the RUU or updated your hboot to 2.10, just flash his recovery and you can still flash 4.3 ROMs too. If you have updated your firmware and hboot to 2.10, you can only use the recovery in Captain_Throwback's thread and flash ROMs that are compatible with the new format.

I've been bouncing back and forth (CWM 6.x, TWRP 2.1.4 and 2.2.2). Not sure if that's recommended or not, but its been working for me. YMMV though.

TWRP has been bullet-proof for me since I installed it. No problems flashing CM7, CM9, or CM10 ROMs, nor other ROMs based on those.
I'm am currently using TWRP to flash Linaro CM10 SGT7 Port For Nook Tablet, but when it reboots i get kicked back to TWRP even tho it was successful
Any ideas? I have had no issues with CWM
CWM it not good for flashing CM10...Surely
The cm9 5.1 cwm can flash all roms those you listen can't flash cm7 roms

Where did you get CWM 6.x? I thought 5.5.x was the latest. Please link if you have it available.
As far as the OP, I have been flashing everything across the board for my NT with CWM 5.5, it has worked fine for all three CM builds.

TWRP 2.1.4 can flash CM7 ROMs without any problems. I haven't updated to TWRP 2.2, yet...
I have been trying to flash Imonseyon leankernel v5.1 for awhile now and I'm having issues... I don't know if the link doesn't work or what the deal is. I want the 184v undervolt bc I have been having crazy battery drain.. Everytime I flash it I get a status 2 in TWRP. Any suggestions..

What rom are you using?
If it's a Sense based GB rom, did you grab the Sense kernel?
If it's an AOSP GB rom, did you grab the Aosp kernel?
If it's an ICS rom, it won't work.
***EDIT
Via TWRP website:
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary.
This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated.
If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources.
It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder. If you're getting a status error 2 during zip install, then an outdated update binary is almost certainly to blame.

Ok thank you so much! FAST response lol. Would there be another recovery that is better to use or it doesn't matter?? Currently I am using your, I believe, ICS rooted debloated ROM stock/rooted. I was on liquidsmooth aosp and cm7 thundershed switching between them to get a feel for them... But for some reason I tried to do a full wipe and then reinstall from my restore of those two roms and try the leankernal, it's saying failed after I updated to TWRP 2.4.3
**EDIT:
Where is that zip you are talking about located.. In /system or somewhere else bc I can't seem to find it?
There is a backup bug in the latest release of Twrp. Switch to 4ext and your backups may work again. Someone posted on the n7 he could restore backups in Twrp from the previous version with the version he made them with but restoring backups on the latest version couldn't restore those

The zip I was referring to, was the kernel zip you were trying to flash.
And if you have run my rom, you should know I suggest using 4ext recovery.
It's mentioned in all my rom OP's.

Dude so far no problems with 184mhz.. Speed is no issue, no lag, no reboots, but I'll have to put it through the 24hr test to fully see how it does. And I charge my battery to 100% when installed it, approx. 4hr 41mins with pretty much none stop usage.. at 72% now. On the old kernal I would have been dead..
I am having a really hard time with my evo lte!
Problem:
I had CM nighties running prior to downloading and using the official HTC RUU for sense 5 and android 4.3.
I ran the RUU and everything was fine, my antennas, bootloader, etc updated.
I decided to go back to CM so I rooted (attempted to later you will find out what went wrong) and installed CWM (latest one 6.0.4.6). I downloaded a cm rom and flashed it with the latest Gapps but every time I flash CM's nightly, it fails. I factory reset and rebooted and it asked me if I wanted to root? <--- think the problem is there... But anyway, I can flash Gapps fine but not CM's roms. I tried stable nightlies and different ones.
Any ideas?

You must flash a version with updated partition support as the 4.3 update changed everything. CM nightlies do not support this, they only work with those who have no updated to the new format that came with 4.3. You'll need to get a build with the support commit included. Fairly easy to do yourself if you have the time and storage on your hard drive.

Thanks for the speedy reply! Quick question, does this mean I need to find an older RUU and use it on my phone before I reroot and try again? Also if you do not mind, can you post quick steps to doing this maybe with links?

If you want to flash nightlies, you will have to RUU back to an older version. You'll have to run the RUU and go through all the steps again, yes. An alternative is to use ROMs that have been updated to support the new partitions. I believe CaptainThrowback has a list in Android Development that lists all the builds that support. Not included in the list is Pac-Rom which can be found in Original Android Development.

Thanks! I am going to flash this after my root tonight but just a question, are you going to be following the updates with the nighties? CM's updater won't work will it with your build of it? Thanks!
You guys have any idea if CM will start making nightlies and roms in general for Jewel post RUU that HTC officially launched for Android 4.3 and Sense 5?
I am aware that using the RUU on the device will update radios, bootloader, etc and partitions. The existing CMs (I have tried nightlies) don't flash because of different partitions.
GoblinZ, here on XDA, uploads the nightlies for CM with the modified partitions and this leads me to my second question. Every time I flash one of his roms of CM (unofficial) does that mean if I want to update then I need to factory reset and install rom from recovery? I cannot use the CM updater in the settings menu because it is unofficial right?
Whoever can help, thanks very much! I am new but feel welcome!

In order to go from that new format CM I built to an official cyanogenmod build on the old format, you would need an RUU to go back to the old format...this alone would require a clean flash (ie you would lose your data). I built this as a stop gap for people who would like to still use an updated CM on the new format.
Once I get it rooted and got recovery installed I should be able to use AOSP roms right? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you have to revert out to 10b via kdz method, root and install twrp, then you can install an aosp Rom
That being said, the 2/1 build of cm12 is one of the most stable right now from my experience. Smooth as butter. You can pm me if you need any advice

Perfect. I'm very excited to have a device that can run AOSP roms once again. I might try a few of the other roms along with CM12 to see which one I like.
I'm also assuming this method will let me use custom kernels too right?
