First make a rom backup of your 4.2.2 incase if something goes wrong and you want to restore back.
Then download the latest recovery version, twrp or cyanogenmod
Download cm11
Flash the newest recovery,
Reboot into recovery
Format data/factory reset
Wipe /system
Wipe /dalvik-cache
Flash cm11
Flash kitkat gapps
Reboot.
Enjoy cm11.
The reason why you need latest recovery is because cm11(kitkat) needs selinux enabled recoveries, else it will say something like aborted, set_metadata_recursive failed.
Goodluck with flashingcm11!

Is it corrupt maybe?
Did you downloaded cyanogenmod for the right device?(Probably you have but just in case)
Are you really using the latest recovery?
Better way, what error does it shows, why does it aborts.

Hey guys, did anyone encounter some problems when trying to wipe data/do a factory reset using the Cyanogen Recovery? After I updated from CM 12 to CM 12.1 I wanted to do a factory reset. Selecting "Wipe data" got me an error. Upon accessing "logs", I could find that it couldn't mount or find the volume /misc. Oh, and BTW, I can flash CM Updates just fine. I flashed some CM 12.1 compatible Gapps, but they are not working (Google Play Services/Store is not working). That's why I wanted to do a factory reset and then flash Gapps. What can I do now, in order to make it work again?
Anyone?

1. First from CM recovery, flash the recovery from HERE
2. Then reboot to recovery
3. Do the factory reset/wipes from the new recovery
4. Flash the new CM12.1 and gapps
The problem is with the new CM recovery, which doesn't work properly with our device. We can only hope the CM devs will sort it out in time
Let me know how you go

You will actually be flashing an incompatible kernel, but because the kernel and recovery reside in the same partition in the S2, you are actually using just the recovery. If you try to reboot into the system, you will end up with a bootloop. So just flash the "kernel", reboot straight back to the new recovery, then flash what you need from this new recovery, then reboot to the new rom

Yes thats right. Use it as a tool to flash what you need. Once you flash CM12.1 you will overwrite philz with the CM recovery/kernel that is included in the .zip file you flash. Hopefully this won't be needed in the future

So, I followed your steps and everything went smooth as butter, but I can't flash the Gapps zip. I tried the recommended zip from CyanogenMod website and it outed this:

Hello
GS2 already installed with cyanogenmod 10 + clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.9, I wanted to install last cyanogenmod :
- cm-12.1-20150817-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip
- gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip
Starting recovery, wipe data / factory reset , install cm zip, install gapps, reboot. --> getting endless cyanogenmod animated logo, the one which comes at boot.
After poweroff+ boot into recovery again, I was surprised to get the cyanogenmod recovery instead of clockworkmod.
I started a new wipe + cm install, but without gapps + reboot : success !!
After that, trying to install gapps from cyanogedmod recovery failed each time with following message :
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
installing update...
installing gapps
set_perm : some changes failed
E: failed to install /sideload/package.zip
E: please take note of all the above lines
installation aborded
was clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.9 to old to proper install the last cyanogen ?
@sksbir
Yes you need to use a newer recovery. Try flashing one of the newer kernels for this device, reboot back to recovery, then flash rom and gapps

Thank's for your quick answer.
So let me resume the situation:
- my clockworkmod was too old, and CM 12 recovery have some problems.
- once CM12.1 is installed, recovery is overwritten with CM recovery.
- so each time you need to do a wipe/factory reset once CM12 is installed, you first have to
> boot to CM recovery
> install a "good" recovery like philz's one to overwrite CM recovery
> reboot again to recovery ( the philz's one )
> install CM12 from recovery
> install Gapps from recovery
> reboot
[Edit] done. Installation is now complete, ( with cm-12.1-20150819-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip, using "install a new rom" within wipe/factory reset option of Philz recovery ) but I'm not sure it is successfull :
- stuck in startup wizard after signing up with google account. I had to ignore the step to complete the wizard
- no Google Playstore app . Other google applications are here.
I tryed to install the playstore from an apk extracted from my LG G2 ( with same gapps installed ), but once installed, crash immediately at launch.
- no bluetooth : crash the control panel. bug report sent to CM.
Maybe it's because I did not install properly the whole, maybe it's because the firm is still new and it's a nighty, although the same version run well on my LG G2.
If someone have an clue ? I will soon revert to an older CM if there is no issues. Previous installed CM (V10 snapshot, android 4.4 ) ran well.
[edit] : I will first replay the whole installation , but with [GAPPS][2015-04-04] Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 5.0.x & 5.1.x instead of full Gapps.
So this is my first post, but whatever.
So it's safe to say I screwed up, I accidentally deleted my stock (rooted) Samsung OS. I somehow managed to download Paranoid Android 6.0.1 onto the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 I received. I heavily dislike Paranoid Android, and I would like to give Cyanogen 14.1 a shot. The problem is since I wiped everything, every time I do a factory reset for my device, it goes into a bootloop, even if I flashed CM 14.1.
I have TWRP installed, if that helps, and all files (that I know of) are installed on my computer (Odin, CM14.1 ZIP, and Paranoid is backed up).
I'd like to thank everyone who even comes and reads this thread, and I'd be very grateful if I managed to get CM 14.1 on the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.
Which version of TWRP is installed? If you have 2.87, try 3.02. Are you performing a full system and data wipe before installing cm14.1?
Hi bro
I am agree with the first reply to you.
All You need the official CM14.1 ROM
Download here https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300
And then download Gapps for android 7.1 pico
Download here http://opengapps.org/
If yoy havn't twrp recovery ! Download it from here
https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/
The file end with (tar) it flashing with Odin.
And the file end with (img) it is update from other version to new with Flashify app (you can find the app in playstore free)
Now You have all requirements files
Let's flashing Your device:
Move the files to Ext.sdcard
Make sure you have 80% battery charge
Then reboot your device to (recovery mode)
Turn off your device and Push (Power+home+volume up) keys at the same time for 5 sec untill u see the recovery icon
Now go to wipe your phone choose advance wipe check the dalvilk + cache + system + data + inernal storage ,, done
Now go back and choose install
Search to your Ext.sdcard then choose the CM14.1 at the same time click on Add more zips
And choose Gapps 7.1 pico
Now swipe to flash
Wait to flash finish and then click on Reboot system
Done
Good luck

I'm using the latest TWRP, I made sure to install the latest one, and I'm performing a full data and system wipe before I install CM14.1. My question is does it HAVE to be on an external SD card, because I just port it over to a folder in my internal SD card.
It can be installed from the internal memory. Simplest way would be to boot into TWRP, mount storage, copy over CM and gapps, and flash.
Maybe try TWRP 2.87?

I've tried to do that multiple times, but everytime I try it, the S3 goes into a bootloop.
Due to the bootloop issue, I would flash a stock ROM with Odin, perform a factory wipe from stock recovery, and then see if the phone will boot properly.
Is the phone a gt-i9300 in download mode?

Yeah, I managed to install the stock OS. I also tried to install CM14.1 again, following the instructions to the letter, but still no CM build. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, since I've read multiple threads on XDA and the CM site.
Not exactly sure what you mean by in download mode, since I'm new to all this rooting business.
You need download mode to flash a stock ROM; otherwise, Odin can't install a stock ROM.

Oh if that's the case, then yes. I put it in Odin mode to flash the stock ROM.
Okay, just to confirm but these are the major steps you took:
flashed the latest stock ROM to the phone;
flashed the latest tar version of TWRP using Odin;
booted into TWRP and copied CM14 to the internal memory or an SD card;
wipe data, system, and cache in TWRP;
flash CM14 in TWRP and rebooted.
Yup, those are the exact steps I took. I think I'm just going to tinker around with the Samsung a little longer, until I manage to brick it, or I'll just continue doing research. I'm already happy I managed to get out of a boot loop on my own, with and without OS.
Are you in Canada? Where did you get the i9300? The i747m is sold in Canada and the i747 is sold in the USA.

My dad got it for his work during his visit in Turkey, is that a factor during flashing of new OS's? What surprises me is that I could install Paranoid Android 6.0.1 onto it without an OS with little or no problem.
A pre-existing OS on the phone is not a requirement to flash a custom ROM.
As long as the ROM is for the i9300, you should be fine.

I made sure it was for the i9300. I'm confused to where it doesn't work because I would see the CM battery charging logo, but when I wanted it to boot, it kept bootlooping for 10 minutes on end. The longest I've let it run was whilst I was sleeping, 8 hours, still nothing.
Maybe try a different version of CM14.1 or a different version of TWRP.

I have updated my galaxy s2 with cyanogenmod 13 and with gapps nano.
To install gapps without problems, I followed this steps:
1-reboot in philz recovery mode
2-Install cyanogen rom ( don't reboot)
3- Install gapps nano
4-Reboot
Now I would like to update cyanogen with nightly update without lose data. I tried to use cyandelta but some errors appear ( permission denied..)
I rebooted in recovery and now I have a clockwork recovery.
Can I install the nightly update with this recovery mode and without lose data and settings?
I have to install gapps nano another time to avoid problems?
Can you describe me step by step what I have to do?
Anyone update cyanogen?

if not done yet i would recommend to increase partitions to 1 gb system and 4gb.
And I would install isorec recovery twrp 3.0.2-1 because cm recovery is not very useful.
Please read noob friendly guide "want update to cm13...." by Saber who made also one for "increase system partition.

If you use the official CM13, you can try the inbuilt update option. You can find it in Settings --> About Phone --> Cyanogenmod updates. There were bugs for a long time, but as far as I know everything has been fixed.
Or try out a dirty flash. Just flash the newer Nightly zip in recovery with wipe of /cache and /dalvik. Not sure if it is also necessary to reflash Gapps.
Edit: I ask myself if updating via settings still works since they switched to Lineage OS... If you try it please report here.
Hi,
I'm using a galaxy s2 gt-i9100 as a spare phone and i thought it would be a good idea to upgrade from CM13.1 to lineage os 14...
Unfortunately that didn"t go well, the phone is not bricked BUT :
1)i can only flash recovery using odin, heimdall says flash ok but recovery never changes, same as when i tried to install the TWRP recovery from a zip file in the CWM 6.0.2.9 recovery
2) flashing from that CWM version a lineage os zip file always resulted in the progress bar to be stuck at the very begining of the process so i updated the phone with a 3GB PIT file to fix the issue.
3) now the same CWM doesn"t want to mount the SD card while it's working perfectly from within the phone or with the phone(using latest stock firmware) on my PC
4) i can"t use that CWM as recovery because i can't use adb sideload or install zip from a file anymore(i guess due to the 3GB PIT file)
So is it possible to have a TWRP recovery flashable with odin for the GT-I9100 ?
Will that TWRP recovery finally allow me to flash the lineage os zip file?
thanks,

First--you can't mount sdcard after repit if you didn't format it
Second--repit using 3GB PIT is useless procedure, because you only changed the data partition size, instead repit with a 1GB_3GB.pit to change system partition to 1GB.
Third--to get TWRP 3 you must be on a rom with a kernel that supports isorec recovery, so you should flash a CWM kitkat compatible recovery through Odin and reboot to recovery and flash latest CM11 to get isorec support then reboot to recovery flash TWRP 3.0.2.1 image and then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps.
If you couldn't understand me, then simply follow this guide
Hello,
thanks for your reply, it was exactly what i was looking for, i wish my Google searches about that matter redirected me to that tutorial.
IT worked brilliantly exept an error regarding formating and mounting of data partition after the use of the PIT file but upon restart, the procedure : 'Go to Wipe -> Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, System, Data, Internal Storage then Swipe to Wipe, go back to TWRP Home.' completed without any errors.
That old phone is now running nougat.

Hi,
I wanted to upgrade my i9100 so i used odin 3.04 to flash the kitkat compatible .tar file you mentioned through download mode. The flashing in odin showed no errors but my phone is dead now and doesnt turn on!
Now i can only get into download mode using the key combinations.
What did i do wrong coming from CM9.1 with cwm 6.0.1.2 on it. And how to fix this?

Your phone won't boot of course, because the kernel recovery you flashed is a kitkat kernel recovery, just reflash it again with a pit with 1GB system or more and your desired data partition size, all pits are available in repartition guide by saber, after you enter into recovery, you should navigate to mount then "format sdcard" or "format internal sdcard", i don't actually remember the option, then format it and format data and system and cache and dalvik cache, then install the latest cm11 rom to get isorec support, then let it reboot, then reboot to recovery and flash TWRP 3.0.2-1 image from the TWRP 3 thread's download section, then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps
Just a sec i will give you some links..
Much appreciated. I am really stuck right now.
Can i conclude that when i flash CWM 6.0.1.2 my CM9.1 will be alive and kicking?
I think i want that right now, i postpone the upgrade to the future. Not really comfy right now....

you have to flash a kernel not just a recovery, try dirty flashing your cm9.1 again that should make it boot correctly, and will replace the current recovery with the recovery that comes with the rom
I found my cm9.1. How does dirty flashing works? Can it be done with odin?
Does this erase all my data on my device?
edit:
Do i choose pda or phone when entering cm9.1 in odin. And where to select wipe cache and dalvik cache?
CM11
1.5GB PIT Files or 1GB PIT Files by ELgmal 1GB is enough.
Kitkat compatible recovery
this is for future update

no just flash it in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, if you had xposed then flash xposed after the rom and wipe dalvik and cache and reboot.

no it won't delete any data

DON'T USE ODIN, the rom is zip flash it through recovery
The problem is i can't access the data partition in windows explorer so i can not place the cm 9.1 zip file on my device. I can enter the recovery mode though
