Updating twrp without a pc ? - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My laptop blew up a capacitor, i have twrp 2.6 x x i we need 2. 7 x x for cm11. Is there a way to update without a pc ?

Download it on the kindle, flash the zip from inside of twrp, reboot into twrp again and you will notice the version is newer. If you have issues downloading the zip on your kindle just tell me I could temporarily host it somewhere for ya.

you can download HashCode's TWRP Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218802
and install from your current TWRP, just as you flash a ROM.

Thanks guys
thanks both of ya, one last question.
for the official cm11 release, the nightly mean u guys keep wiping and installing new os everyday ?
Is there any older release with no bugs ? If they did nightlies for older versions, one of them must have all bugs fixed right ?

CM nightly build works good for me, you don't need to wiping new buld everyday, just choise one.
CM team will release a new month build every month, that build will be better than nightly build.
It takes time for the CM team to build a ROM with no bugs, so, just be patient.

I installed the 4/14 unofficial CM11 build that Hashcode posted over in development and am stunned at how well it works! I'll be sticking with this one for the interim. The TWRP upgrade is necessary, but Hashcode made it easy (see link in gatalon's post). In my case, I think it may have even fixed a long standing issue I had.
I've had my kindle HD 8.9" for over a year now, and have always been disappointed with it's performance. Even after I rooted it and put the CM10.1 build on it, it still exhibited weird sluggish, unresponsive behavior. This upgrade to TWRP 2.7 and CM11 has made all the difference in the world. All the weird sluggishness is magically gone.
It was noticeable as soon as I used TWRP 2.7 to wipe everything out. I'm half suspecting I had something wonky going on with the file system that wasn't getting addressed with the older version of recovery. I noticed 2.7 explicitly states that it's calling mkfs during the wipe process where the older version didn't. My uneducated theory is that the older version, 2.6.0.0, just deleted everything where the newer version is actually re-formatting the partitions. I could be way off base though. Just happy it's finally working like I thought a piece of hardware like this should! :victory:

No wipe is needed (normally) when updating from one CM official nightly to a subsequent one. It will even detect if the engine has changed and recompile the davlik cache as needed. Personally, I'm a big fan of wiping cache (and only cache) with each new build and I also install any update PA GApps when available ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 ).
Caveat emptor: The CM team makes ever effort to make builds backwards compatible, but always take a backup and be prepared to do a factory reset / data wipe. It very rarely is needed, but you don't want to need a backup and not have one!

If the problem hasn't already been solved, here is an alternative: fireflash. Look it up.

Need help in upgrading from CM7 to CM nightly

Guys I have simple question...
I am currently using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3-buzz in my wildfire and thinking to upgrade to Cyanogenmod nightly, all I wanna ask is that do I need to flash my phone again, as in wipe all data n wipe cache (factory reset) in clockwork recovery or should I just install 'CM nightly' over it without flashing?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Just install over your existing setup. (But, don't forget to take a Nandroid backup incase the Nightly proves to be unstable - If it does, then you would have to perform a clean install, ie - Perform Data Wipe in Clockworkmod and re-flash)
thanks a lot bro.... 1 more small thing i need to ask...
i just saw that almost everyday a new nightly version comes Cyanogenmod's site, so which 1 should i get? or should get the latest 1 which came on Cyanogenmod site? and if i install the very latest 1, so do i need update it daily?? as almost daily a new version arrives on the site...
Check out the feature changes - It it's something you want then upgrade otherwise don't bother.
okk but how do i check features? i mean when i click on download on CM site, it shows all zip files... where to check feature?
Changelog is here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=buzz
It shows the global changelog for all devices, so, everything may not be Wildfire specific. Click the feature to see the details, but, it's all slightly technical.
Nightlies do release everyday, but it is not necessary to upgrade everyday. Upgrade only if there is a feature in a new one that catches your fancy.
thanks brother... you rock !!

CM Version Updates

Hello everyone I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.I would like to know who handles the updates for the CM version of the phone. Is it Oppo or the CM team? Will there be OTA updates or do we have to manually download and install?
Thanks in advance.

CM will handle the CM version. Oppo will supply updates to their software, but CM will handle the actual ROM itself.
Right now there's only one build released. I have a new build that I'm checking out now, but it's still on 10.2. We should see CM11 very soon, and I predict that it will come with the official Google software built in, so there won't be a need to flash gapps. I might be wrong about that, but I think that's how it will work.
I'll post the link for the update very soon in the correct section.

Software should be coming out tomorrow, can't wait.
Cyanogenmod does have their new CM Installer software for Windows and Android. If you're not familiar with fastboot, installing recoveries, and all that....it may be the easier way to go....in fact, I'm curious to try it myself.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/oppo-n1-cyanogenmod,25495.html
I am more interested to see how this will work not only for the N1 but for future CM phones.
Imo if they want to go official they should provide the stable versions OTA to begin with.

I'm fairly certain that CM11 won't have included gapps until an official "stable" release occurs.
Only the released version of 10.2 has been approved by Google.

I'm talking about the official build of CM11. Steve Kondik has informed me that the build is almost ready to roll. They're just waiting on a few last details... Which I assume is the inclusion of gapps.

All People Update CM. there is the cm-11-20140724-NIGHTLY
First update to the latest nightly in CM page, after that you can update via OTA in your phone, there is Daily updates!!
O-Click, Works, meaby a second lag (while focusing?)
O-Touch Works, not as the touchpad of your lap but works, And for some reason changing the VM to ART works better for me.
3G works
Battery last very good, and its suposed to las more in stand-by if you use ART instead of Dalvik
ART works well by the way.

[4.4] CyanogenMod 11 nightlies

They are released officially und http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=n1 :victory:
With the lastest "cm-11-20140126-NIGHTLY-n1.zip" I get no location data - wich makes the N1 unusable for Maps, Foursquare, Ingress aso..
Switches back to "cm-11-20140124-NIGHTLY-n1.zip" everything works fine again.
Flash with stock recovery?

You will not be able to flash this with the stock recovery. I imagine once it goes stable CM will push out an official update that will work on the stock recovery setup.
Until then, TWRP works great: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537080

I bet I could make that happen. Probably just a reverse of what I do to make it flash in TWRP instead of stock. I bet I could add the first line back in and have it flash properly.

Flashify works great for installing TWRP, just backup your stock recovery first, that way you can flash it back before rebooting recovery and flashing colour OS. 27th Nightly is available.

I'm 90% certain stock recovery will not flash nightlies, as it will only flash ZIPs signed with specific signing keys.
Unless CM is signing their nightly ZIPs with the same key as their "official" releases, which is highly unlikely.

Correct. Currently since they're coming direct from CM as nightlies, they aren't final stable versions. Those will be released like the other two were, and I'm sure will be built to flash in the N1 Stock Recovery.
Location not working
location still not working on latest nightly (130214).
anyone has any idea on how to fix it? the 240114 nightly is not longer on the getCM servers.
Anyone on M6? Thoughts?
I went straight from CM10.2 (CM edition N1) to 11 M6, so I don't know how battery life compares with Omni or other ROMs... would love to hear from those of you that have tried other ROMs and can compare with M6.
With M6, I am getting ~4% battery drain over 7 hours overnight (2G network on only).

Sorry to bump a 3 year old thread for such an unrelated reason, but you have PMs disabled, and, well, CM11 is not that appealing anymore so I'm confident not many people are gonna read this anyway [any mods reading this, please spare my soul :silly: ]
That said, I just wanted to ask you why you rated my porting of LAOS 15 Trebuchet so poorly, since you didn't leave any comment; if it's some bug, crash or other error i can look into it.
BTW you can answer me on the app's thread if you wish (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageos-15-trebuchet-laucher-rom-t3667436)

Thank you for leaving your feedback, here are some answers to your points:
- (update mechanism) i actually caught a nasty bug in XDA Labs web console which prevents me from uploading new builds there (and I also deleted all previous reviews in the attempt to reupload the app ??); (i already filed a bug report and managed to get the dev's attention so I hope it gets fixed soon)
- (open source) being a porting, the app mostly shares the original staging/trebuchet15.1 source code, with only a handful edits for fixing crashes due to compatibility errors (and is built with gradle plugin 2.3.3 instead of 3.0.1)
- (very buggy) it inherits all current staging/trebuchet15.1 bugs, not that much from my tests, but yes, there are some

1. The "*##*37847#" method doesn't work for me since I'm on 1.2.8i , thus cannot verify the screen model
2. My phone is x9076 int'l, manufactured in december 2014
3. I have the "bleached screen" bug on 3rd party ROMs and namelessTWRPs
4. The twrp-x9076 takes only half of a screen area (it does work though, but still identifies my phone as find7a which is incorrect)
5. you still didn't describe the difference between the other two
I tried flashing CM12 nightly with twrp-x9076 (had to remove assert from update script). No good - same as before, bleached screen and such. So this particular recovery seems to be useless for anything other than backup/restore and rooting (which is awesome, but still not what I'd like to have access to).

you have to wait CM update their drivers , otherwise it just .... don't work.
I also have an issue with this and have installed this recovery and its fixed the problem. Now we wait for custom ROM developers to catch on.... I'm going to keep myself glued to cyanogen to see if they change anything!

Same here. Other than the official beta rom there seems to be nothing available for us. I am seriously considering returning the Oppo since I can't even get hold of 1.2.8i (only stable version which ships with the phone).
So sad... I really want to use 5.0 on my OPPO Find 7. I've reached out to Cyanogen but had no replies, reached out to other ROM developers only to either be ignored or have my question washed away by a sea of people complaining that they can't get a game to work on their phone.
Just found out that cyanogen is working on the new oppo find 7 with new lcd panel issue. So anyone disappointed they'll have it sorted soon hopefully!
Does the offical TWRP and CM support this find7 with new LCD????
Any updates on this? I have managed to get the official AOSP ROM working but nothing else unfortunately.
Double the question. Lack of working TWRP is just fatal to any tinkering.

Test with adb (requires root):
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
cat /proc/devinfo/lcd
the answer for me (X9006 with COS 2.0.8i) is
Code:
Device version: R63417
Device manufacture: JDI
close the shell
Code:
exit
exit
Maybe if the ROM is compiled from source, the extra driver could be included? I am noob to this so if someone experienced could take a look that'd be great!
Just found this thread and didn't read much.
I am on unified storage (stock 2.0.8I). Are these recoveries compatible (unified partition)?
And yes, I have the new LCD screen...
Thanks

Yes they are compatible with LVM, using it with the official AOSP rom since it's been the only way for me to get Lollipop so far, will probably test out the new beta ColorOS 2.1 Lollipop ROM as well.
EDIT: Actually just noticed some issues with it, can't mount internal_sd or data partitions and thus can't back up, avoid. I thought I'd backed up on LVM but clearly not.
Speaking of ROMs... I've taken the screen driver of the original Oppo kernel from the github and added it to the cm12.1 kernel (ie overwritten the cm12 driver with the Oppo one), I'm now compiling it from source and will report back if this works. If so, this will mean working Cyanogenmod for the new panel!

mirror for cm-12.1-20151221-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx ?

Hi,
I accidentally destroyed my cm 12.1 install due to a bug with phone encryption. My copy of the latest cm12.1 nightly for seranoltexx (cm-12.1-20151221-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx) got shredded with it and the download portal over at cyanogenmod just throws an 404 error at me. I learned today that this is another well known "bug", only the five last nightlies are actually kept for downloading they say. :crying: Does anyone of you still have a copy which you could upload for me? I tried cm13 but it just isn't ready yet for daily use (my opinion).
You would really make my day!

Your build is only 26 days old, so I’d expect to find copies online, but a cursory search turned up no torrents or zip mirrors for me.
You might be motivated enough to contact Mattia Baldani at cyandelta.com, who keep the last 40 builds (they say) for each device in order to serve the diffs from one nightly to the next.
PS: Since download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=serranoltexx&type=nightly still lists the latest fifty nightlies, if you find the zip from another source, you can be sure that it’s the official safe one only if it matches the 6f9816b3d7643a1eafc1b7e8605cecec01eb8409 SHA1 hash that CM posted there.
The awesome guys over at http://www.android-hilfe.de got a copy for me. If anyone is in a similiar situation here is a mirror:

I had no Problems with daily use. Yes it is stable.
Keep in mind that there could be a bug with phone encryption that you could hit, it depends on which recovery you were using when you last formatted /data partition. Thats why I destroyed my system because I never formatted the /data partition, I just wiped/factory reset. If you use phone encryption do a backup of all your data (also external sd!) and only after that encrypt it. Further details are here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/116348-cyanogen-121-encryption-setup-does-not-finish/ especially post #17
This is not an issue with this nightly but with at least all cm12.1 versions (maybe even other versions too). Double check that you have seranoltexx aka GT-I9195 (the S4 mini international lte variant).
Happy flashing!
yes ,i know ......
thank you for feedback
