Hello guys, I know It may sound funny but I was tweaking around the TWRP 3.1.1-0 and when I tried to reboot it said: no os installed are you sure you wish to reboot?
Ive made no backups and i know nothing about flashing, roms, installing android and all those stuff I've seen when I Googled it. Can anyone give me some light? Step by step kinda thing?
Ps: I have not rebooted or whatsoever the phone so far after deleting this stuff XD idk if that would help
Just flash any custom rom and gapps using twrp...and the phone will boot..

At this point you have to install a rom. You can choose to revert back to miui or install any nougat based from. If you want to install miui head over to en.miui.com and under device find "Redmi Note 4x", there would be global and developer builds available, download the build pertaining to Redmi Note 4x International version.
But if you want any custom ROM then download any ROM from the forums, but make sure it is ONLY nougat (7.1.2) version, because twrp 3.1 .1 doesn't support Oreo Roms.
If you choose to install miui make sure you have the lazy flasher zip with you. Now carefully follow the steps-
1. Copy the files to your pc or to an SD card .
2. From twrp - format data
3. Wipe - system, data, cache, dalvik
4. Copy the files to internal storage of device using a USB cable if the files are on pc. (ROM file , and lazy flasher if rom is miui)
5. Now install the ROM zip .
6. Flash lazy flasher if the ROM you installed was miui.
7. Now reboot (if you installed miui it will say no os installed, but just reboot)

Hi
I was going to install a new rom, but is shows me a #7 error. I google it and I found that I must update CWM to install the new rom, so I update it by using Rom Manager to CWM v5.8.4.8. And now I can't see my sd card files.
My phone doesn't have any system/rom right now, I make these steps and then I got the problem
1. Factory Data reset
2. Wipe Dalvik
3. Format System
4. Install Zip from Sdcard (when I did this step I get the problem)
What should I do now?
The only thing that I can do with my phone is to enter to CWM
Please help me step by step of what should I do.
I still beginner in these installation things, so please be patience with me
This is the Rom that I want to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914230&page=64

I had this same issue before, I had to go back to an older CWM version. I read somewhere that 5.8.4.8 doesn't support installing a zip from sd card.I will look to see what version is the latest that does support this, and if possible upload it for you!!
Agreed...
revert to older CWM versions, or use TWRP......g
Yeah. I have 5.0.2.7 I believe. Works great. P.s. great choice of ROMs!! Also check out the jelly beer or eclipse ROM!

Hi guys,
Yesterday I did some research on which custom ROM to install (I need to get my android version from 2.1 to 2.2 or higher). Various topics about custom ROMS are available here but the instructions aren't always as clear for a newbie.
Fyi: I got a HTC Hero.
In another topic I read this:
Wipe
Flash ROM
Don't reboot
Flash kernel
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So firstly I'll make a backup of my contacts and of my contents of the phone, I guess?
How do I flash the current ROM?
Why is not rebooting a pointer? Is it that dangerous?
I have no idea what flashing the kernel is, or how I should do this.
And last, I think I know how to reboot, hopefully.
Furthermore, after downloading the custom ROM I want, I put it on my SD card or something I guess?
Thanks for the help guys!
Little update: downloaded ClockworkMod and tried to instal, but I already got an error. Failed to extract or something like that.
Well install cwm for your device
You can reboot by pulling out your own battery and put it back on
Flashing rom means flashing the whole os
Flashing the kernel means just flashing a part os
Both have similar installation procedures
YA YOU NEED TO COPY THE ZIPS TO SD
BE sure to flash a rom that's meant for your device (important)

hi, i have a redmi note 4g and i want to update it to the new version (6.6.1.0)
but when i click on update, it reboots and stucks on the twrp screen. what do i do once in the twrp screen? i have wsm tools installed.
Stock update works only with stock recovery. If you want to install MIUI from TWRP you have to install it like any other ROM (download zip to sdcard, boot in TWRP and install manually).
Be aware that you will lose every modification you did in /system partition, including WSM.
Also note that MIUI v7 will soon be available for this device.
This page contains stable and developer versions of MIUI for you to download. They are localized in many languages (not only chinese and english like those directly from Xiaomi), dev versions are updated weekly and already rooted.

Thanks bro..I don't mind losing data. Can you tell me the procedure to install it? I mean wipe dalvik, and?
If you want to upgrade MIUI you don't need to do anything, just install new rom, no wipe necessary. You won't lose your data, only changes you made in /system. If you want to start fresh, there is an option to factory reset, you can do it before install, but again if you come from MIUI and want to install newer MIUI this is not necessary.
Download the zip from the page I gave you, copy it to sdcard, press install button in TWRP, locate the zip and install it, done

Incremental updates are only from one version to the next one (eg 5.8.14 to 5.8.21). Just be sure that you come from the right version. If not, install the full package, the results are the same

Can i install miui 7 stable the same way? I'm coming from 6.6.1.0. Just go to recovery and install from zip?
I have a moto e xt1021 (single sim) on kitkat 4.4.4 and I want to upgrade it to Lollipop AOSP 5.1.
So far, there have been no OTA updates to lollipop.
I've heard that lollipop has a different bootloader to kitkat, so i'm unsure if i can simply flash a lollipop rom.
Is there any way I can get lollipop on my phone?
If not, i'll just have to wait for the OTA update (if it ever happens).
Also, do rooted phones still get updates? Mine is rooted, but it's on stock rom with xposed framework.
Thanks.

If you think you are quite comfortable with the fact that you are responsible for anything that happens to your phone, then I would suggest you to do the following things :
1) First of all unlock the bootloader (You'll find how-to's HERE)
2) Now install a custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.7 is preferred, Google it)
3) Make a full backup (System, Data, Cache, Boot) of your phone
4) Wipe everything (EXCLUDING YOUR SD CARD)
5) Go to the AOSP 5.1.1 thread, download the ROM
6) Download the GAPPS from HERE
7) Put these into the SD Card and boot your phone to TWRP
8) Install the ROM and GAPPS
OPTIONAL : You may want to install Super SU to have root access.
The first boot of the ROM takes a good 10 mins, so be patient.
Hope these hep u out... Cheers

Does lollipop use up a lot of the moto e's internal storage?
Also, how is battery life and performance?
my mate 2 is still in the original Android version 4.3. I never updated it. Now I am thinking to update the phone to latest Lollipop B322, May I know how I can do it? Will this update reset my phone to the factory mode? How can I still recover my phone to the current state after updated to new Lollipop? Sorry for my naive questions. Thanks in advance for your help!
If your on 148, I think you need to hit an intermediate update first. It will reset your phone to stock, but you can install TWRP backups. Not sure if you can restore old system images. I know the partition sizes get larger on android 5 builds
Sent from my Ascend Mate 2 using Tapatalk
Do clean installs only. So backup everything first. A backup of all apps can be useful as it was for me but some apps from jelly bean didn't work on lollipop and I had to find and alternative. Some apps just had errors and I just had to re downoad them from the play store. So backup first. Also the custom recovery you have on 4.3 will need to be updated for newer ROM on this phone. Use your old twrp first to back up your stock 4.3 first.
Then go like this:
Build 148 ->
Build 309 (lollipop)
Factory reset (repartitions internal storage) ->
Build 322 (gives you new bootloader) ->
Factory reset (so all is ready) ->
All set to install custom ROM. Update your custom recovery to the one the ROM you want requires.
Remember to do clean installs and wipe cache and davlik. If you use xposed flash the ROM, Gapps and xposed then so you don't have to wait on Android to rebuild the davlik cache later when you've restored your 100+ apps (takes a while).

If I remember right you can install a custom recovery TWRP and then boot into TWRP and it will ask if you want to root. There are other options to root the phone as well. I just flashed from B322 -> custom rom which was already rooted. If you're staying on stock b322 though I think TWRP will do it for you.

If TWRP root didn't work you can flash SuperSU.zip file using TWRP.

A limitation of B322 over a custom rom like CM is that Xposed doesn't work on B322. So if you want lots of features and customization go with a custom rom like CM13 (which I will eventually be upgrading to it is just a lot of work to migrate 200+ apps & settings lol). A positive of B322 is EMUI (Huawei's stock rom aka B322) is extra battery life. I hear that CM13 is just as good in that regard but I haven't tried it yet. So I'd say a custom rom would be better than stock B322 (even if it is rooted) just because of the ability to use Xposed.
Thank you so much for your reply! I am still having two questions:
1. Before upgrade, i should backup data. Can I just use the backup function in handset which i found from Settings/About phone/System Update/Local Update/? I don't know about TWRP.
2. to upgrade from B148 to B322, can I just follow this instruction: http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/manuals/detail/index.htm?id=52025&key4=mate 2
4.1 Force upgrade
---Step 1. A MICRO SD card of 4G or more should be available. The MICRO SD card
made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.
---Step 2. Format the MICRO SD card (This operation is optional).
If your phone’s system is B3XX, you should skip Step 3 and Step 4.
---Step 3. Copy the Software: recovery package file UPDATE.APP and main package file
UPDATE_VENDOR.APP to a directory named dload.
---Step 4. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP and
UPDATE_VENDOR.APP in it) to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.
If your phone’s system is B126 or B148, you should skip Step 5.
---Step 5. Copy the upgrade package UPDATE_VENDOR.APP to a directory named
dload and copy the dload folder to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.
---Step 6. Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the
handset. Press the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN keys and POWER key to
power on the phone(picture4.1.1) , when the HUAWEI logo is showed , release
the POWER key and keep pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN
keys(picture 4.1.2) until your phone is entered the Software Upgrade
Software Upgrade Guideline
2015-9-3 Page 5, Total8
Mode(picture 4.1.3).
4.1.1 4.1.2
4.1.3
---Step 7. When the progress bar stops, your handset will reboot and enter the new
system.
Thanks!!

Best to have a full system backup using TWRP. Also having a full backup from Titanium Backup will allow you to restore apps which can be faster than installing them over. If you don't have too many apps it isn't a big deal. It does let you save app settings.
Also use an app to back up phone log and sms if you want that history.
I don't know about the built in backup. Haven't used it.

You can do that. I think that will work. You might have to flash it twice if there are issues after the first time. Then once it is B322 do a factory reset/restore just in case as well. All data is lost in the process of upgrading.

Thanks for those important pointers and the OP for this topic.
I also like my 2 year old HAM2 so much i just picked up another one as a fallback device perhaps if not daily handset.
I will leave that one JellyBean but i do plan to upgrade the next one to Lollipop 322 i hope.
On the old Mate 2 i flashed through TWRP the very latest SuperSU zip 2.76 i think.
I assume it's best to always use the latest version of it? Is that ok?

I also have a backup HAM2...very useful phone and must props to the devs for working on all the custom recoveries, roms and apps which help make our phones really customizable and usable.
Yes. Update SuperSU using the zip in TWRP 'install.' I just upgraded my own phone to CM13.0 (snapshot) and it fixed some issues (with other issues remaining...always a tradeoff lol!). SuperSu latest version works great! It's a good idea to use the newest version but remember if it isn't broke why take the chance to upgrade it and make it broken?

It's been a long time since I bothered with ROM's, rooting etc. but another MT2-L03 in the stable demanded to get those hands dirty again.
As usual I errored some things a little, lost root, and even managed to muff TWRP backups with Error 255 or whatever. But Mate 2 is ever so forgiving. It was just a matter of reflashing the Stock Recovery and then firmware, Factory Reset, and install anew the UPDATE.APP+VENDOR (aka:Lollipop!) redo which cleaned everything out so that TWRP 3.02 installed and backed up as expected as well as ROOTED!! :good:
It took getting onboard the L24-LIW Honor 5X to make me appreciate the Mate 2 even more.
