Hi, first of all, my English is bad and i'm a noob at installing custom roms
My HOX+ is rooted and i have the TWRP Recovery installed.
So, i downloaded the newest CM11 Nightly for my device (enrc2b) from the Cyanogenmod site.
When i try to flash it with TWRP it says:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140902-NIGHTLY-enrc2b.zip
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140902-NIGHTLY-enrc2b.zip
I also downloaded a Snapshot version of CM11
It says:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-enrc2b.zip
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-enrc2b.zip
So finally i downloaded the CM10.2.1 Version
I wiped all cache and data and did a factory reset.
After flashing the .zip and rebooting the phone, but i got stuck in a boot loop (i think) because i waited like 20 minutes but the boot animation didn't change (blue guy with the arrow). Did i do something wrong
I just restored my phone to the backup i made (stock rom)
If you need any information about my phone or something just say it.
I also heard about using CWM instead of TWRP but i don't know how to change it.
PLZ HELP :crying:
CWM recovery
Install this recovery for installing CM.
And don't forget to redo your backup after installing the new recovery before installing CM.

I'm working with a Mac so it might take a while before i understand everything but i'll let you know if it worked.
So yesterday i installed the CWM and flashed Cyanogenmod11 Nightlies at 00:10. I got the boot screen with the guy and the arrow spinning, but when i wake up at 7:00 it was still in the Cyanogenmod boot screen wit the arrow (the arrow was lagging).
So i tried flashing the Snapshot version and it also didnt pass the screen with the arrow (lagging)
After that i flashed the CM10.2 and the arrow wasnt lagging anymore but it didnt pass the screen with the arrow
Every time before i installed another version i did a Factory reset in CWM
So am i doing something wrong plz help?

did you flash the boot.img in fastboot before installing the rom?

Do you mean with "boot.img" the recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-enrc2b.img
This is all i did (i dunno of the screenshot will display i uploaded it as attachment)
I've flashed the recovery.img, thats also the only thing i downloaded on the CWM site.
I also downloaded the Cyanogenmod rom on the CyanogenMod Download site or do i have to download it from the CWM enrc2b Roms?
Edit: I've found out that the boot.img is needed for the device to boot and that i can flash it in recovery.
But is there a special HOX+ boot.img or a Cyanogenmod boot.img or whatever i need? And where can i find it

you can find it inside the rom zip file, just extract it into your adb/fastboot folder and flash it (in fastboot mode) using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". also i recommend (maybe not necessary) using "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing boot.img.
Also you may need to reflash rom in recovery after flashing boot.img.

Alright i did what u said and i have 1 more question;
If i want to go back to the stock rom, do i need to flash a "stock" boot.img?
Edit: Cyanogenmod is working, i only need to install the Google apps (i think).
Stock boot image
You can flash the Nik3r version to come back to the stock boot image.
And you need to flash the GAPPS in recovery for the Google apps

If you want to go back to stock completely (including relocked bootloader) you will need everything completely stock and matching your phones CID. Of course you will need to flash the corresponding boot.img for every rom. But as far as i know/tried, nik3rs oxp_kk kernel works for all 4.4 roms and the other version works for all Sense5 based custom roms and maybe stock rom (if you don't need relocked bootloader).

Thx, i have installed the Gapps and it's working good.
The only thing i notice is the fast battery drain, is it possible to underclock some thing so the battery last longer, and which apps are good for that?
And if i want to go back to the stock rom, i just have to go back to my "stock rom backup" in recovery and flash nik3rs oxp_kk kernel?

no, oxp_kk is just for 4.4 (kitkat) AOSP like roms. there's another non- kk version which works with 4.2.2/sense5 roms, but i don't know about stock roms. There's also a fallback kernel version which should work with all stock and custom 4.2.2/Sense 5 roms.
I have uploaded the latest androd 6.0.1 MMB29K.
I have twrp installed - the latest I believe.
super su - 2.46 pro
I installed the ElementX kernel - can't remember witch page I followed to root my nexus 9. but it suggested this.
Now I can't set a pin for my sudoers
tried uninstalling and reinstalling no luck.
I have ex kernel manager and it says there is a new version available, but I need superSU 2.61 - witch means the new beta version.
Looking at the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
looks like I have refrash a stock boot
"
If you are coming from any SuperSU install in /system, you must re-flash the stock system partition contents prior to installing this.
"
how do I do this ?
What does the new kernel give me ?
Any idea on why my supersu doesn't let me use pin codes ?

Latest TWRP for Nexus 9 is twrp-2.8.7.1-flounder
Get the latest factory image and unzip the contents a few times then use fastboot to flash both boot.img and system.img.
From TWRP Flash SuperSU-v2.62-3 first and then the latest ElemetalX kernel (if you want it, not needed for root).
Never used pin codes with supersu, so don't know about that.

Flashing vendor.img is a good idea as well, just to make sure everything is synced up.

Flashing just boot.img, system.img and vendor.img, will not wipe data.
And leaves data untouched, so won't need to reinstall apps again. Just don't flash the full factory image.
(Note: Flashing the full factory image can also be done without wiping data)
Thanks did it and all good.

I have a Nexus 6P that has some weird issue where it is not being recognized by any PC or any USB port as a USB device. So I can't get it to work with fastboot as an adb device. It has stock android 6.0.1 on it and TWRP. This is how I got it. I think there is something wrong with the software not allowing the USB mode to work properly so I wanted to flash to another stock image. I've already downloaded the stock anglr image and uses Google Drive to transfer the files over, both the complete image and also the independent IMG files. Is it possible to use TWRP to flash the phone back to stock?
Two questions before I venture an answer -
a. When you mean flash back to stock, I am assuming you mean your TWRP stays and all you want is to flash stock android. Right?
b. Your custom recovery is TWRP right?

a: Yes, unrooted and a different stock image to see if maybe this version on the phone is buggy with the USB connection not working.
b: Yes, TWRP 2.8.7.2
Great. Then the simple answer is yes. Subject to the fact that whatever you trying to flash is "flashable" (i.e. usable by TWRP). To be honest I have been flashing using TWRP for last 3 years and never once have I used a PC.
Slightly longer answer. To do this
a. (ALWAYS) Backup original Android install using TWRP
b. Factory reset (NOT wipe - unless you know what you are doing!)
c. Look for the Flashable ZIP containing your stock image - and flash.
and voila! You are back to stock!
Good luck!

Thanks. So if I download the stock android image from google developers page, I can copy that over to the device and use TWRP to flash it?
Actually, I've been reading that I cannot flash a factory image with recovery, only fastboot. But fastboot doesn't work for me because device won't recognize when connected with USB (trust me, I tried everything with drivers and cables, computers, etc). I think I need to find a flashable stock image for my device.

No. Which is why I said - "flashable". I dont have a Nexus 6p so I dont know where you can find a TWRP flashable stock image for that device. But a quick search of your device specific sub-forum on XDA yielded this link.
The link in the first para should help you find a "flashable factory/ stock image". I would suggest you follow instructions on that post and ask further questions there as the folks in there will have the same device as you and provide better help.
Again, good luck!
Thanks, I appreciate this advice as it helps.

No worries. Pass it on
PS: Here's another XDA thread that has a flashable version of the STOCK rom.
PPS: Found via Google search terms nexus 6p stock rom flashable
http://www.gsmarena.com/blu_r1_hd-8171.php
BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads
This is a Prime stock 6.5 rom, this rom comes from my phone, not rooted unmodified stock rom.
The purpose of this thread is to be able to flash stock or custom roms for Prime R1HD via Twrp.
You need to either have twrp installed or be able to boot into twrp to install this rom.
I currently just boot into twrp, I still have stock recovery installed, my bootloader is unlocked.
I have downloaded @ColtonDRG normal-stock-oob which is V12 non prime version, I checked the permissions on the system to see if 6.5 and V12 used different permission they use the same.
So a V12 rom can be made from my exact stock_rom_R1HD_6.5.zip, I may or may not provide a non prime version, even if I don't all a user has to do it open my stock_rom_R1HD_6.5.zip replace system and boot.img with non prime zip and flash.
There are two twrp recoveries one I just made and one made by @lopestom I had to get the rom compliant with both recoveries, @lopestom was the first recovery available for R1HD and allows backing up and restoring of many partitions, I am going to use his recovery.fstab, but remove the partitions backup and restore I don't use.
both recoveries at one time or other would throw an error
Code:
ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
I have now fixed that so neither recovery error, any other recovery that might show up, that person will have to fix his own, for now two recoveries can flash my rom, the one I made and @lopestom
To install download rom and recovery if you don't already have twrp.

There are two twrp recoveries, use the one that you want, if you want to back up and restore more partitions use first recovery.

i am try to get 4g lte band in india
by changing the baseband
kindly help me to fix this
I was rooted using supersu. Because I wanted to pass safety net I decided to unroot, but the supersu uninstaller gave me an error. So I unrooted using a zip file, which worked. However did this not restore to original boot image, which is why I am still not passing safety net.
Does anybody know where I could find the stock boot image and can I flash it simply through twrp?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Or does dirty flashing the stock firmware fix it, too?
I recently flashed an original Boot.img to install Magisk on my Note 4. You basically just have to open a downloaded firmware (of course the one you are using at the moment), open it with 7zip and extract the boot.img file. You can then flash that with ODIN.

Extract the AP file with 7-Zip. But you can't flash a .img file with odin. You'd have to convert it to a .tar.md5

Thank you*jd1639 and jhill110 for the input. I'm not the most experienced at all this yet and I usually find myself in the deep end of the pool. I've already managed to soft brick my phone last year and just end up extra cautious since then. I just didn't want to end up wiping TWRP off my phone with a stock boot image with no way to flash it back on at the moment. Sorry I couldn't quote you two, my account is new and I can't use external links or quotes until the tenth post.
