I'm asking this because I have some strange problems with these ROM's but I think it's my mistake.
First rom that i tried was Ressurection Remix. Before that i was on Stock 7.1.2 EU Rom.
I've done these steps on Linux Fedora using fastboot
1. Enabled USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in Developer Menu in the phone
2. Unlocked Bootloader
3. Flashed latest TWRP for Moto Z
4. Booted into TWRP Recovery and connected phone with linux fedora via usb
5. Drag and drop RR-Rom and Gapps and Wiped Cache, Dalvik
6. Flashed RR and then Gapps
7. Wipe Cache Dalvik
8. Reboot
9. On the first boot i choose restore everything from cloud
After that the rr was running very well for 4 day, but suddenly i got some triangle icon on the taskbar (like some error).
It says that I have been logged out from google and i must login again. I tried that but nothing happens.
So i tried that with other rom (exilium os)
That was worse. On the first startup just at the lockscreen, it restarted itself. And that was it, it just keeps restarting every time.
So i tried to flash again RR, because i really like this rom.
After that on the first setup, it restarted itself couple of times.
Suddenly some errors starting to appear "google framework closed" "google .... gmail closed" and everything from google crashed.
So i tried flashing the same for the third time.
But this time in TWRP I went to Advanced Wipe, and wiped everything Data, system, internal storage.... everything except usb-otg.
Now the ROM is running really nice. I hope for the long time )
Did i make the mistake restoring everything from google cloud?
Because i had on some roms, 2 Calculator apps, 3 sms apps. (Maybe the leftover from other ROM, stock maybe).
I assume that I wiped simply everything except bootloader and recovery. Now is working fine. (I think)

Hello all,
Sorry that i have to post this out of the thread as i cannot post on the development thread for this rom.
I have a Samsung S2 which is rooted. With the release of Foxhound Revolver Ocelot, i tried upgrading from the previous release Foxhound sniper wolf. However i had this issues with the upgrade. I then also tried fresh install but too had problems, i tried for more than 10 times so this is roughly what i gotten
Steps for Upgrading
1. Went into recovery mode and Wipe cache and also wipe dalvik cache
2. Installed from External SD card, Aroma launcher ran and choose siyah kernel and Touchwiz S3 and choose custom install where I chose all applications.
3. Installed ok, phone rebooted and then ran the upgrade applications.
Upgrading symptoms.
a. Either it hang at the boot rom page. Force reboot and it run upgrade applications again
b. When it booted up again, i got an error android.phone not responding and i had to reboot since nothing will be displayed (black screen with notification). Tried fixing permissions in the recover mode didnt work.
c. a few times even when i chose Touchwiz launcher during installing, when it managed to boot up it gave me Apex launcher. When this happen it was very buggy (no input)
I then decided to try a fresh install
Steps Fresh install
1. Boot into recovery mode and factory reset , wipe cache and dalvik cache
2. Install rom and choose siyah, touchwiz s3 as default launcher then installed all software from custom installation and reboot to the wizard process
3. Once after wizard mode reboot and wipe cache and dalvik cache
Fresh install issues
a. It hangs at the end of wizard setup and cannot proceed once the setup is done. When the happens wipe cache and dalvik cache doesnt do anything to help. (meaning if the phone fails at setup wizard i have to repeat the install process. but before that i need to wipe the internal storage)
b. Once i wipe the internal storage, installation and going to the setup wizard is good. Touchwiz launcher also works perfectly. However i am faced with another issue. I am using Mybackuppro to back my data and apks. I did attempt to install superuser and make sure in extweats my phone was rooted before continuing..
What happen is that I can restore my sms/mms/contacts/ but if i reboot the sms icon will disappear and then be re-recreated again (funny symptom)
For mybackup pro app data + apks restore, i can restore only apps but not data. If i try that the phone will reboot. I wrote to the mybackuppro developer but they told me it had something to do with the ROM, not their software.
So at the moment i am not able to use the new rom due to the above problems and i am back on sniper wolf rom..i can only use the new rom if i dont want to port my apk data over, something which i am not willing to do n ow. Was wondering if anyone faced the same issues and managed to work through these problems and can offer some advice?
Thank you.
Hello,
i'm having the same issue. I did a fresh install following all the steps, but the rom freezes after i setup my google account. Then, it reboots and the launcher seems to don't work. I tried with touchwhizz as default, nova launcher and even apex launcher. I just can't get this rom working.
Thank you for this awesome rom anyway, sniper wolf is fantastic. But if anyone knows how to solve this please help me.
Sorry for my English.
I was on CM13 nightly 08/08 and I received a download to update to 08/09 and I downloaded it, rebooted to twrp and I dirty flashed the zip. Then I noticed that flashing the rom changed my f2fs system partition into a ext4 so I wiped the system partition and changed it to f2fs again. Then I reflashed my stuff: first the new cm13 build, radon kernel and finally supersu. I rebooted, did the android is upgrading thing, and when i entered the phone a bunch of my apps disappeared from the launcher and apps started crashing (hangouts has stopped working, setup wizard has stopped working) which then I realized that I forgot to flash the gapps along with the newly wiped system. I rebooted back to twrp again, flashed the gapps and rebooted to system. This time, my launcher wouldn't even show up and it was nearly impossible to use the phone because of a constant play services has stopped and setup wizard has stopped. I managed to stop the constant messages by force closing setup wizard and play services but the second I pressed the home button to go to launcher the messages would appear again. Strangely, when I switched to guest mode the messages disappeared and I could use apps launcher and play store normally. I then went back to TWRP, wiped the system again and this time flashed the gapps along with the rom, kernel and super su and the phone still displayed these annoying messages, which make it impossible to use the phone. Is it possible to recover my phone without wiping it?
Anyone can help?
you need to flash gapps before you initially boot your phone, otherwise it behaves like yours. i dont know why but thats what i encountered once
Good morning to you all, and thanks in advance if you can help me.
I just received an Ace 4 Neo from a neighbor who asked me to 'make it faster' and 'newer'. Naturally, with the Stock ROM what Samsung overloads, I wasn't going to do nothing as close. I came to the always loyal xda and found the Mega Thread of Ace 4 Neo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ace-4/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-12-13-ace-4-neo-ace-t3627637
I put into the phone the oldest Stock ROM available from the same origin country and carrier (TIGO - Paraguay), and after installed Custom Recovery TWRP 3.1.1-0 and tried to install a Custom ROM. There is where my problems started.
First, I tried to put CM13 or MIUI (Android 6.x) with no success. The phone when turning on just showed the model and stayed there. The only change was a red exclamation sign on the upper part of the screen. (Possibly, this will be helpful for you: When installing, the result said [ ] instead of [/system])
After 6 failures with each one, I desisted and instead tried with CM12.1 and this one successfully installed. I also tried to use OpenGApps Pico (as I really messed up trying to find how to install the GApps of the thread), and the phone turned on "without problems" (the CM in fact started, but the red exclamation point is still there).
After 8 minutes configuring the GApps, I configured the Google Account and such. However, I went to Play Store for naturally install WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter... The common things.
Surprise! The phone when installing suddenly rebooted. When turned on again, the home screen closed and opened 4-5 times in 20 seconds and rebooted again. It maintained on that loop over and over.
So, am I doing something wrong? Or do you know about how to fix any of the previous issues?
As a final note, because the Mega Thread doesn't have the classic installing instructions, after navigation for 2 hours I constructed this steps:
1. Reboot to Custom Recovery
2. Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Everything except Internal Memory and SD Card (Dalvik + System + other two things)
3. Install ROM
4. Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache (the button what shows there)
4. Install GApps
5. Wipe again Cache
6. Reboot
Again, thanks in advance.
Hi, @Pedreo1997. You need wipe internal storage, too.
Step-by-step install custom ROMs:
Flash oldest stock ROM with Odin.
Reboot system > use 1-2 minutes ( for sure )
Install TWRP 3.x.x
Wipe everything except sdcard.
Wipe > advance wipe > check system > option > repair
Install ROM and Gapps.
Reboot and enjoy
My device is redmi note 4x (mido), I've tried lots of different custom roms, i'm installing these roms as the instructions say, but I always get some problems like camera crashing, default file browser crashing, corrupted package installer where you cannot install any app where it just says app not installed. Now I'm stuck without sim card and wifi working I currently have OrangeFox-R8.3-mido twrp
I tried roms like resurrection remix, lineageos, havoc os and all of them have some issues and other users don't experience these for some reason.
I tried to wipe literally everything possible in the twrp (maybe wiped too much?) with different combinations, format data, factory reset and also advanced wipe> and tick everything form here, then I install the firmware if the rom instruction says so > flash rom without wiping cache, flash newest open gapps arm64 usually 9.0; nano and then hit the reboot and usually bit laggy(and sometimes crashy) google setup pop ups, and if it doesn't fail on the setup I get some of the problems I talked before. Anyone also had problems like these?:crying::crying:
The only wrong thing that I see in twrp is
Code:
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/sec at /firmware: Invalid argument
it's written with white text(not red as usual errors)

I updated the orangefox and it didn't help, tried to download the normal twrp from https://dl.twrp.me/mido/ and it still doesn't work,
It doesn't see my sim card, wifi during settings and I can't even turn on the bluetooth
My Redmi 5 plus won't boot as I messed up everything while trying to flash a couple of ROMs. At first the two ROMs that I flashed were working well. But after some time, whatever ROM I flashed, the phone started to restart while setting up the first boot (choosing language, region, etc.) and no further. So I tried wiping every partition there is under the TWRP wipe section (cache, system, vendor, data, internal storage, and so forth). Then flashed a custom ROM again with and without GApps but no success. I noticed that the phone even started to restart before the first boot finished. Also, after flashing stock ROM, TWRP said no OS installed. I even tried flashing stock MIUI ROM in fastboot mode. Although it went well, still bootloop and the device keeps restarting. However, before all of these problems, I did take a backup of every partition, leaving nothing behind, so I restored everything but again the "No OS installed, are you sure to boot?" message. Now I'm freaking out, not knowing what to do. I read somewhere that flashing via QPST tool may help but I'm having problems with installing it.
If I manage to make my phone work again, I will not flash any other ROM, ever.
Try installing new firmware with recovery, if that doesnt help you can try flashing with EDL mode.
Just open your phone and bridge these points ( on photo ) and connect phone to PC.
It should appear in XiaoMiFlash as COM[number].
Good luck!
