Hello,
I am brand new to the rooting/modifying process but managed to successfully root and install cyanogenmod 10.2.0 on my device a couple days ago, thanks to a newbie-friendly forum found on this website.
I searched for a cyanogenmod update using the auto-installer and found, today, that there is a newer version available, 10.2.1. Problem is, when I proceed with the installation, the process commences (seemingly without a hitch) but when the phone finishes rebooting, the phone info shows I am still using the 10.2.0 version of cyanogenmod.
I am confused as to why the installation is failing to update my phone and would appreciate any guidance!! I realize there are ways to manually update, but I would rather first understand why the auto-updater is not working before I try to mess with it manually.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Longtime lurker, first time poster! Before I get into my issue, I would like to let you all know that I did do my due diligence and didn't find a concrete course of action to address this problem.
Here is what I did (as per Cyanogenmod Wiki)
1. I downgraded the phone to an exploitable version of Froyo
2. I rooted the phone
3. I installed Cyanogenmod 6 (because 7 wasn't working)
4. Installed Google apps for the above version.
5. Market and account wasn't working
6. Found CM version 9 beta
7. Installed that - it worked
8. Installed Google Apps ICS version - worked well
9. I finished doing this sometime in the morning, and the phone worked a good four hours before trouble began
10. I got a call, and post call the call manager (or equivalent Android process) stopped responding. I restarted the phone
11. Since then it has been rebooting after loading the home screen.
12. Post this, I searched online
13. One recommendation was to clear data, cache and restore factory setting via recovery.
14. I also formatted SD card and reinstalled CM 9
15. Issue persisted.
16. I tried another mod (Audacity 3) didn't work and has same issue.
Someone suggested I do a SuperWipe and reinstall the mod.
I would love to hear from you guys in terms of what I can do next. I am sure the device hasn't been bricked - I can still access recovery and bootloader.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Found the solution. The phone was rebooting because of an in compatible build of Google Apps. Downloaded the right one from Cyanogenmod Wiki, and its golden!
ive had the same and android revolution, just flash a rom like andromadus beta 4. or another rom
Thanks!
I did do that for a bit. I tried A different ROM but liked CM better. Also, I made a mistake with the build of google apps - which was the reason it kept rebooting. Have been using it for a couple of weeks and it works great.
Hi everyone. I received my very first Android phone a couple of days ago, a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. I did some research on the Android OS (my phone came with Gingerbread) and I found out about Cyanogenmod. So today, I installed C11 (found it right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568105) after a lot of sweat and blood... And I got it to run nicely, but I noticed I can't get my network to work. The phone was previously unlocked (I bought it used), and when I first tried my SIM on it, it worked.
When I first had to install CWM in order to be able to install the ROM, I succeeded in rooting it, and I noticed that the phone was still rooted after flashing it (though I don't know if that came along with C11). But anyway, I can't get my network to work; I removed the battery and the SIM a couple of times, but it didn't work. Now I don't know what to do. Could anyone please give me a hand on this? I know nothing about Android. Thanks in advance.
CM11 requires JB (4.1.2) - Sound like you flashed CM11 onto GB (2.3.6)
This can't work.
The thing is that I was trying to install an AOSP ROM (found in these forums as well) before trying with C11, and I wiped the data, formatted the system... So the phone was left without an OS. I didn't just "update" the OS, if you know what I mean. And C11 is working fine except for the mobile network.
EDIT: If I install a clean JB 4.1.2. and then restore to my current CM11, do you think that could solve the network issue?
Again: You need JB! With JB there are also other partitions which are needed to be new (on JB)
And Yes - Data restoring could work - But not recommended.... I would do an clean new install...
Please do not start an discussion... again: You needed JB.. (just to be sure)
Uhm, I never intended to start a discussion, I was trying to explain what I did. Thank you for replying anyway. I'll let you know if I get the network to work.
Sorry - I don't what to sound outrageous... But those questions were asked to many times... Here on XDA ACE 2 section...
The update showed up on my phone and so I updated it after unrooting my phone, removing lucky patcher, freedom, sd booster, and so on. After downloading the update, phone rebooted showed it was updating then Error. Rebooted the phone then the update was no longer there, tried using System update but to no avail.
My question is.. how do I fix this for me to be able to update to the latest?
I'm getting a similar problem. However instead of doing what you did to unroot and such, I flashed the 2.17 via their recovery and now I don't get the prompt for 2.18 update at all.
Its confusing as to why its acting like this :/
I already removed all root applications and unrooted the phone then did a factory reset but afterwards it put me to one of its old build and wont freakin update anymore.. Any help regarding this would be very much appreciated..
I am open to rooting and manually flashing the latest build.. Problem is, I was a Sony user whom just switched to zenfone.. So i have no idea how to or what to flash on our zenfone 2..
Hello guys,
It's been a while since the last time I visited the SGS3 section, over a year ago I remember updating the bootloader in order to upgrade/flash to 4.4.4 which went very smooth and was a success. I gave the phone to a sibling who has been very happy with it for the last year and a half. Lately, the phone has been very unstable with the 4.4.4 KitKat ROM, WiFi doesn't turn on, Bluetooth is unstable, Unstable apps/Force closes. I tried a wipe/factory restore and re-flashed the ROM but the problems persisted.
I did a little research and liked what CyanogenMod is doing and since they are actively supporting the phone I decided to flash CM12.1 and the provided Open Google-Apps, CM12.1 flashed successfully but Open Google-apps refused to install, CWM displayed (Section 6) error which upon research it is common with CWM and the solution is to flash TWRP. I booted with CM12.1 in order to install TWRP Manager through the APK and flash TWRP but it force-closed when it searched for the device model. WiFi was working but Bluetooth was still unstable.
I would like to know what would be the best way to proceed in this case, I would like to upgrade the recovery to TWRP and flash CM12.1 or any other stable Lollipop ROM.
Thanks,
Oscar

Hi,
I'm completely new to customROMs at all, so please bear with me..
So, first I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 13 nightly on my G3 which failed with "system partition has unexpected contents after ota update". At this point I was unable to get past the "LG powered by Android" boot screen, but I figured that was okay, since the install failed. I was running Android 5.0 beforehand and after a quick Google search I decided to try CM 12.1 first.
So I started again with wiping the device and installing CM 12.1 which succeeded. However, I still couldn't get past the LG boot screen. I tried wiping and reinstalling CM 12.1 several times with no success.
I was following the official guide rooting my phone and using LG G3 AutoRec-Lollipop to install TWRP.
I don't really care about my data (it's all in the cloud anyway), but I'd like to get my phone to work again. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
what's your current twrp version?
