Hey guys/gals,
I recently bought a Koodo Galaxy s2x. After a few weeks I looked online and saw that there were some JB Roms for my phone. I couldn't resist and tried to flash one after rooting. I didn't have many problems with it, but there were some glitches that started to bug me, so I decided to see about going back to stock (I should have done this first I know). So then after hours(many) of searching, the best I could find was a T-Mobile stock Rom I decided to try and flash it (both times via odin). I also read somewhere that I should use darkside superwipe to clear my cache, so I tried that, but ever since that CWM stopped working on my phone. anytime I tried to do any back up or anything it just froze, and I had to hard boot. Finally I just tried flashing T-Mobile stock ICS, and Odin said "Failed". I decided to just unplug my phone, as I thought I already screwed it up, but after rebooting, the T-mobile Rom worked. I don't understand why it works fine if the Flash Failed. Now, I can no longer connect to kies (I'm hoping official JB will be shipped soon!), and I am wondering if I can somehow return to a stock Koodo Rom, and if it will connect to Kies again, as it previously had. I have looked a lot and have not found anything that I fully understand. I'm not overly experienced, which is why I should not have flashed to begin with. This is the closest thread I have found to help me, but I don't fully understand what all I need to do:
"Haven't seen anyone shared this yet.
Here's the KOODO ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM I used CWM to flash to stock after I tried the custom ROM.
h t t p s : / / sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
I also flashed DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIDE before I flashed this or you can used CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 to wipe system and cache."
Is it possible for me to get back to stock phone? and still connect to Kies? and then possibly upgrade to JB through Kies if Hercules ends up receiving it?
Thanks for any help you can give me. Here is all my current phone info incase this helps:

Thanks.
If your ultimate goal is to get Jellybean on your phone, check the development section of this subforum. There are numerous stable and wonderful JB roms (AOKP Milestone 6, Liquid Smooth, CM10).
To get back to your stock ROM, download it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
Then, go into recovery (NOT odin), and flash the rom.

That link doesn't work, it says cannot find page. Also, my phone is currently not rooted, does it have to be rooted to flash from recovery? if not what do I do to flash from recovery? I know how to get into recovery, but after that do I use 'apply update from external storage'? Do I have to wipe the cache first?
Thanks.
PS: I just want to be able to get back to stock for now. At least until I learn more about flashing Roms. There is still lots for me to learn, like kernels, radios, Nightly's for official Roms, or even how to properly flash a rom without feeling lost. If I know a way to get back to stock comfortably, It will give me more reason to try some other Roms (once I learn how).
Here is a working link to the stock Koodo ROM: http://sourceforge.net/projects/koodostock/files/KOODO_SGH-T989D_Stock_Signed.zip/download
Are you running a custom ROM right now or your stock ROM? If you're running a custom ROM, it should come with root privileges. If you are running the stock ROM, you can just back it up instead of needing to download the zip from sourceforge. This guide will help you get rooted: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/. After rooting, get into recovery mode (if you can't get the button combinations to work, there is an app. called quick boot which reboots you into recovery/bootloader/etc). If you don't have a recovery or it's corrupt, download ROM manager from google play, and choose the 'install clockwork recovery'. Reboot to recovery to make sure it works, then uninstall rom manager (it's been known to cause bugs if you use it for other things - and I'd recommend other recoveries such as TWRP but it's a bit more advanced). From your recovery's screen, there should be a backup option. Make a complete backup and name it something appropriate. To flash a ROM, download it and put it on your storage drive. Reboot to recovery, and go to wipe. Wipe your data (factory reset), and system (only really need to wipe data in most cases, but be safe). To flash the custom ROM now (or flash the default ROM I just linked), there should be an option to 'install zip from sd card' or something similar. Choose that, browse to your ROM and install it. After installing, go to wipe and wipe your cache+dalvik cache, then reboot. There are several beginner guides sticked in the development forum, along with explanation of terms like radio/kernel/nightly/etc.

Thanks a ton... Worked perfectly! I'm hoping it will connect to Kies once again.. I'll let you know if it works.
Unfortunately, I still can't connect to Kies.. It just sits at the Loading status (for like 10-15 mins). But At least I don't have all of the T-mobile apps and stuff anymore!
For CM11 Nightlies:
Find nightlies here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=n1
If you're already on CM 10.2, just wipe cache and dalvik. Flash over your current build.
If you're coming from anything else, wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system. Then flash normally.
If you want gapps, you'll have to flash gapps as well.
No need for any modified files on nightlies. I assume that official stable builds will still be defaulted to flash on stock recovery though.
————————————————————————————————
CM 10.2 Information. Please do not use the following to flash CM11!
This is the method that I used to install CyanogenMod on TWRP.
I have tested this, and it is working perfectly on CM builds:
cm-10.2-WPPH47N-n1
cm-10.2-WPPH50O-n1
I will continue to test and update as new CM builds come out until CM flashes normally on TWRP
————————————————
First - Have TWRP as your recovery (2.6.3.1). Don't ask me how to do that.
Second - Backup your ROM! Just in-case something breaks, it's not my fault, and I'm not responsible.
————————————————
Now, we begin:
Download the newest CM build for the Oppo N1 from http://www.cyanogenmod.org/hardware/oppo-n1/#images
————————————————
After downloading your CM build from the above link, you'll need to follow these instructions to get setup for flashing in TWRP.
To modify your downloaded CM file, you can use either of the two methods below:
1: You can modify it yourself. It's actually very simple, just one line change.
2: I have attached an already modified updater-script to my post. You can use that and drop it into place (the file inside the zip, not the whole zip).[/b]
YOU ONLY NEED TO USE ONE OF THESE METHODS!
Method 1: To modify the file yourself:
First, open your CM zip that you have downloaded.
Navigate to the folder: META-INF\com\google\android\
Open the updater-script
Remove the first line only! You will remove:
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "N1" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "N1");
Do not remove anything else unless you know exactly what you're doing!
If you modified the file within the .zip, just save the file and it should save to the CM zip.
If you extracted the .zip, save the file and then go back and rebuild the zip.
Transfer over your newly modified CM.zip file to wherever you can find it on your phone (I drop it straight in the root folder).
——————————
Method 2: To download my pre-modified updater-script
Download my attached file (updater-script.zip)
Extract the file inside the zip (there's only one file)
Open your CM zip that you have downloaded.
Navigate to the folder: META-INF\com\google\android\
Simply copy your extracted updater-script from where you extracted it and drop it into the CM zip (It should save after)
Transfer over your newly modified CM.zip file to wherever you can find it on your phone (I drop it straight in the root folder).
————————————————
Reboot into TWRP:
Advanced Wipe ->
Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. ***DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM***
Then install your modified CM file. Please, remember, DO NOTE WIPE SYSTEM.
Reboot system! Done!
:victory:
I hope this all makes sense...
Basically you download the CM rom
Modify or copy the updater-script into the zip
Then you move the ROM to you phone
Then you go through the above area with wiping and flashing
* Pictures are attached
* Please let me know if there are any problems with this.
* Both versions of CM released so far have identical updater-script files. The .zip that I have attached will work on both builds.
* I will keep updating as needed

We're working on fixing TWRP so the asserts work properly.
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bionic/commit/4482d8513920d614e3799a214c5bad07b72580d2#diff-1 broke a lot of things.
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bionic/commit/ad76c85b9ca587084089d086f954158bc0eae905 allows flashing newer firmwares on older recoveries - but not the other way around.
The short-term fix is a TWRP build made from a 4.3 tree - this is 90% done.
@OP: Working with Entropy last night to squash this bug, I flashed his newly built TWRP and was able to go back to ColorOS or CM without issue. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22964990/n1_twrp_43.img

Correct, the very top link in the OP is the full ROM. You can download the full ROM and flash it in TWRP. It's already fixed and ready to go.
So far that has been the only ROM to come out from Oppo for CM. It contains most of the ColorOS features that work. "Knock" to wake (double-tap), screen off gestures, camera orientation, etc. I'm almost positive that the back touch-pad was working. I haven't been on CM in a little bit though. I'm still working on making changes to ColorOS, and updating as I go.

Camera orientation is handled by the camera HAL blobs.
CM does have back touchpad support but it's wonky (which is why omni hasn't merged it yet, we're still discussing whether to completely rearchitect it or just fix it.)
good work

Hi,
I tried everything and it works. But the root is not working well. I tried installing SuperSu.zip as well as apk nothing works. Any thoughts ?

Go into SuperSU and remove it in the settings (unroot). That will get rid of all of the current SuperSU stuff.
Then flash SuperSU in TWRP.
To flash the unmodified CM, you can try the TWRP in post #3 of this thread HERE.
Or you'll have to remove the same line in the updater-script. The same method posted in the OP. Don't use the uploaded updater-script that I have there though. You'll need to change your own. It's a really simple fix. You don't have to extract all the files out. You can just modify the one file (I use Notepad++).
Sometime tomorrow I'll update the whole OP to include the newest CM version. I'm about to head out to our New Year's event, so I won't be available for the evening.
Enjoy the evening everyone. I wish you all the best! :good: :victory:
i have installed TWRP from #3 - not succes install CM newest version after this
i have unthick superSU and then install again via TWRP superSU.zip after that thick superSU on system android and no succes - root acces didnt come
happy new year
-------
I am a little dissapointed couse I downloaded CM ROM from OFFICIAL SITE http://www.cyanogenmod.org/hardware/oppo-n1/#images and I cannot install it SIMPLE on my device
OP updated! The newest release of CM has been added. I'll keep on top of it from now on, sorry about the delay.
I'm not going to host the CM builds anymore, since the modification is so small from the original CM build. Everyone flashing this should be capable of making the small change that's outlined in the OP.
:highfive:
@Harfainx
it is not a problem to me to delete first line from updater-script but what then ?
I have to zip ii normally or compile using special prgogram ?
why dedicated ROM from CM/OPPO site is not allow to simple install via TWRP ?
it shuld be so easy

After dropping the file in, just save the zip again. If you haven't extracted it, you shouldn't have to do anything special.
Also, CM can easily be installed on the stock recovery. Oppo doesn't control other recoveries.

You don't even wipe system if you go from ColorOS to CyanogenMod?

Hello guys, I've searched a little and didn't find any posts that could help me specifically for the Galaxy Nexus.
I've flashed my phone a long time ago and have been using Paranoid Android for probably over a year.
The problem is, my cellphone was really really slow. So I decided to try a new ROM and re-flash it. And So I did.
I've tried flashing this Full_Auto R11 kernel then the CyanogenMod 12 and finally GAPPS.
I was getting error status 6 on Clockwork mod on gapps, but eventually got around it. But it didn't install play store, I've tried manually adding but it didn't work.
So I went for another 5.0 ROM (I'm really interested in getting android 5.0). Wiped all the data, all the cache, installed everything and rebooted.
Bam! Infinite booting screen.
No, I didn't create a nandroid backup because I'm really dumb.
So, I need your help. What I want to do is to get my phone working again with a 5.0 ROM (if possible).
I can boot into ClockWork Recovery just fine, if that helps.
Thank you for the attention.
I would recommend to install latest full factory package from Google.
Then you will start with everything stock, so flash latest TWRP recovery via fastboot (CWM is no longer supported, so error 6 when installing new Lollipop Google Apps appears).
Then in TWRP, do a factory reset, wipe /cache and /system partitions.
Then you can install your Lollipop ROM (over ADB or by pushing ROM package to emulated sdcard).
After this, install latest Full_Auto kernel.
At the end, install Pico Google Apps.
You must install the Pico version, because our /system parition is too small to handle Lollipop with all Google Apps included.
This should work for you, and you will have fully working Lollipop on your Galaxy Nexus
P.S: If you intall the AOSP Lollipop ROM by @freshgiammi and you miss root access, install latest SuperSU flashable zip.
Thank you!
Thank you man!
I've ran into some troubles but managed to do everythings correctly =)
This post can be locked up now.
Thanks again for the reply, LamarrCZ!!
I am currently running DarthStalker rom and before that was on Hyperdrive. I would like to try out one of the "L" roms but I am still on the 900TUVUBM17 baseband. From what I have read I have to update and be on the N1 or N9 or maybe even Bsomething? So my question is what is the simplest way to do this and is there a way to do it without a PC as mine is down for a bit. Thanks
Yes, you can do it without a PC. Make sure you have the latest TWRP recovery installed.
1. flash the bootloader 0B6 or the latest one for your phone. Don't flash the incorrect one.
2. flash the modem 0B6 or the latest one for your phone. Don't flash the incorrect one.
3. Verify that you have both of the above, if not, do it again. I had to do it twice for it to stick.
4. flash your choice of custom Lollipop ROM. Make sure to follow the ROM's instruction for flashing, have to backup and wipe everything.
5. Wait about 15 mins for the first boot, you are done.
Thank you HappyPlato
So I rooted my 5X with the help of the Nexus root toolkit. I have successfully flashed Elementalx kernel through TWRP and have tried flashing the ROM and GApps through the toolkit and through TWP but always end up in a bootloop at the Google screen. What am I doing wrong?
I'm just looking to load a Custom ROM to possibly squeeze some extra battery life out of my 5X.
Bootloop
Hi mate,
Did you try and clear cache & dalvic after installing the rom through TWRP.
Also did you install the kernel after the rom & gapps, also try another kernel maybe, or use the stock one with the rom ( if possble ).
or grab the factory image and go back to stock & lock the bootloader.
Also, I did read if you do not use the SDK toolkit from Google ( contains Fastboot and ADB ) , you can have issues like this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
I will do some reading and see what else I find.
Later
Which ROM are you flashing? Most have a decent installation instruction you should follow precisely.
Basic steps in correct order:
Download ROM and Gapps.
Clear data and caches (always clean install a new ROM).
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Flash custom kernel
Root.
Boot (on pre 7.0 first boot may take 10+ minutes)

I chose options to clear cache and dalvik when using the Nexus root toolkit and then again manually when I tried to flash through TWRP. I don't quite remember which order I tried to install the kernel. I'm assuming from your question the kernel always always has to be flashed after flashing a ROM? (Even if the kernel was previously flashed?)
I'l look into doing it the 'old fashioned' way as it seems it should iron out any issues. Thanks for the help and please reply if you have a chance!

I'm attempting to flash the latest version of Pure Nexus, Gapps, and Elementalx. From what little research I've done it seems like people are able to run this ROM and kernel combination without issues.
I followed these steps to a T and cleared cache/dalvik after every flash. I am on Nougat right now and the phone would get as far as the Google bot logo. The longest I waited was probably 10-15 minutes. Could it possibly take longer on Nougat? Does that have anything to do with encryption?
Thanks all!

It's unclear to me if you did a clean flash or not.
Check out post #2 in the pure Nexus thread for detailed installation instructions. Follow them to the letter and you should be fine.
I've been running pure Nexus with elementalX for some time now and never had any problems. Are you sure you aren't using the nougat version of elementalX? 3.05 is NOT the correct version for running pure Nexus at this moment as the ROM is still based on 6.01.

Glad to be of help. Have fun with your phone!
First of all make sure you're on the correct firmware for whatever rom and kernel your wanting to use or it will not boot. It will bootloop if on say a Marshmallow build amd your trying to install a Nougat rom.. Now if all matches you can proceed.. This is how I've installed roms for 5-6 years: in twrp wipe: data, system, cache, delvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps (open gapps mini is what I use) flash either SuperSu zip or PHH superuser, next reboot. Some roms (example: DU and AICP) come with SU already inside so no need to flash it.. You can tell because in twrp during flash process you'll see SU being installed If rom comes with it. If you choose to use PHH Superuser you'll need his app from Google play store. Just grab it (search PHH Superuser) and open it and you should be good to go. I use SuperSU as I've had issues using other SU with ARISE sound which is also something i use. Hope that's not confusing.

Need any help
Hi mate, i have now unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and installed pure nexus rom. Did not use the toolkit, i used adb and fastboot using commands... It was easy. If you need a hand with anything give us a yell . [quoter=Angdvl089;68875927]So I rooted my 5X with the help of the Nexus root toolkit. I have successfully flashed Elementalx kernel through TWRP and have tried flashing the ROM and GApps through the toolkit and through TWP but always end up in a bootloop at the Google screen. What am I doing wrong?
I'm just looking to load a Custom ROM to possibly squeeze some extra battery life out of my 5X.[/QUOTE]
