Hello everyone,
I'm on CM 11 and I'm really tired of it. It's the bobzhome version. I wanna go back to stock and I've had no luck flashing cwm files. I've got a couple of the nandroid backups from jelly bean for p769. I've tried TWRP and CWM. Every time I try to flash a nadroid it says installation failed. Can someone give me some direction as to what to do here? I've searched the forum and can't find anything helpful topics. Also I looked at my recovery with rashr and it says twrp and also says linux 3.0.101 bozhome. I'm thinking that might have something to do with the failed attempts of flashing a nandroid.
Thanks
And if you make flashable ZIP of ROM with extracted files from KDZ ?
Just make a KDZ offline flashing of your stock ROM, then root with VROOT.
I haven't tried flashing a KDZ yet. I was trying to avoid that method ,but looks like it will be the only way to fix it. I switched to a different version of CM and it's working a bit better on the battery life now.

Ok guys heres the deal....i recently got a samsung fascinate from my sister cause I couldnt mod my inc any more. ok so....i got the phone rooted. i have su perm. i downloaded rom manager and installed it. now heres my problem. i can preform a backup no problem, but when i go to restore that backup it boots into clockwordmod and begins and then get an error about erasing boot img. or something like that. can tell exactly if i get some help from this. also cant install custom roms like i can with my incredible. i know it can be done cause i see roms and all for this phone. can someone please please help me.
Thats because cwm3 will not perform nandroid restores on stock roms. You need to flash cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. Its the best recovery imo for any bml(touchwiz) rom. Go over to my guide in general section and you cand find cwm 2.5 in section 2&5. Oh and ditch rom manager...manually install cwm via odin!
If you're coming from an incredible, also keep in mind you don't have to be rooted to flash roms either, you just have to have a custom recovery. There aren't really any modifications like rooting procedures, S-OFF, etc, required for rom flashing, just odin a recovery and flash your selected rom.
------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP

BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works
Hello together,
i'm experimenting with my Z2 (CM12.1, Sony Firmware, whatever) and everytime i get this "CM Recovery" which has
really little functions. And everytime I try flashing XZDualRecovery with the installer and manually with fastboot, but
when it reboots, i get this CM Recovery again. The only solution i found yet is flashing an old Sony Firmware with
Flashtool and rooting it again but thats really complicated.
Does someone know how to solve this? I also searched on the Internet, but most times i get CWM Recovery, which
is the same for Google
Thank you for your help in Advance!
EDIT: An example for what i mean: I tried CM12.1 today but i forgot to make a Whatsapp Backup, so I wanted to
restore my old Firmware again, but theres no such feature in CM Recovery.
I had TWRP and tried install cm11, but it failed. Now i flashed stock recovery with Honor 6 MultiTool by VirusPlus and tried install stock OS, but stopped to 90%, now my phone just bootloops and can't install OS. And I'm really noob with these things. Please help me and sorry for my bad englsih.
Not sure why you didn't make a nandroid backup first, but I think it is failing because the build.prop, local.prop and other prop files must be stock before official update works. Probably the easiest thing at this point is just put TWRP back on and flash something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/development/rom-r1-modaco-custom-rom-t3393674

I made backup, but accistendly deleted it..
Someone help me, that doesn't help. I flashed TWRP back and tried flash r7 MoDaCo Custom Rom (Stock Style beta ((cause emui style didn't have dl links)) ) and flashed succesful, but then tried reboot and then it bootlooped. (SRY FOR BAD ENG)
Problem solved. I unbricked phone with honor 6 multitool unbrick function.
Hello,
I have a rooted Honor5x L21-C432B140 Lollipop with TWRP recovery, and I would like to install CyanogenMod 13 on it. I understand that I need to get my phone to use Marshmellow, and to do this I need stock recovery, which as I said I have TWRP instead. The problem is I am unsure which files I need, and what to do with them, and I am scared of bricking my phone.
Can someone please guide me in the right direction of what I need to do? I've looked through most of the Honor5x stock recovery threads and all their replies, yet I am still a little confused as there are no step-by-step instructions for a noob like me to use.
Thanks!
You need to flash stock MM with adb first ....go to in still CM 13 and gapps ...cleen and reboot
I'm also having issues installing CM on my L21-C432B140. I followed this guide (except I got the firmware from here here) to update the firmware to L21-C432B340, and then I installed the cyanogenmod (newest available nightly, installed via TWRP), and I'm now stuck in a reboot loop. I've rooted my other phones without issues, but I'm completely stumped here. Any ideas?
Edit: There also appears to be no way for me to downgrade. As I understand it, I need to flash stock recovery that's compatible with my firmware, but I can't find stock recovery for B340.
Edit2: Never mind, I'm currently downgrading to B140 again with B140 recovery, though I'm not sure it really helps me get any closer to installing cyanogenmod.
Edit3: So I finally managed to get to B330 (I couldn't go from B340->B330 for some reason, I had to downgrade to B140 before I could try B330), and cyanogenmod successfully boots now!
For reference, I used this guide to update my firmware to B330 (I found the B330 firmware here, as the guide doesn't offer a link for B330 firmware for my model). Then I installed the latest nightly CM via TWRP.
