I am having a problem trying to update to the latest CM12 snapshot release. I am currently running
CM12-20150625-Snapshot-YNG4NAO09M-e980
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-CM+
and CWM version 6.0.4.7
The update notification came through this morning, and I downloaded, then went to install. It goes through the process of reboot to recovery and after a second or two in recovery/update it kicks out the following:
E:unknown volume for path [@/cache/recovery/block.map]
E: Can't mount @/cache/recovery/block.map
Installation aborted
Then all I can do is reboot. If I really have to I will just do a fresh install with the new build I suppose, but I was hoping to see if there were any thoughts about how to get the update to work properly. Maybe place the update on to the SD manually? Thanks for any help.
Update your recovery with something newer (official TWRP if I may suggest?) and try again.
You probably have to do a full wipe and reinstall. It sound like you're trying to install the new cm12.1 snapshot on top of cm12 snapshot. Since they are different series of ROM, you can't dirty install it. BTW, cm12.1 snapshot still can't locate the Sim card, and @emmanuel hasn't build the patch for it either, so you're better off stay where you are, else install cm12.1 9/4 nightly with the 8/30 sim card patch.

Hello everyone, interesting problem here today. But first, a bit of background to my troubles as of late.
For the longest time i ran the CM 10.2.1 d2spr build. I saw that they had switched to d2lte unified builds and wanted to give the CM11 d2lte nightlies a go. Download the nightly build at the time and updated GAPPS build for CM11, go to CWM, go to install nightly zip and i get error unable to open. "E:can't open /sdcard/blablahblah.zip (bad) installation aborted". First suspect was bad download, but tried several different times, several different roms, no luck. Eventually gave up and flashed to stock 4.3 after a day of trial and failure.
Next attempt was to re-root and go through step by step. Learned about knox (the hard way unfortunately) but worked through that with the sprint III root package with Philz (flashed via Odin) and the de-samsungizer. That seemed to work and didn't trip knox on reset. Again tried to move back to CM11 nightlies and other custom roms (LS nightlies) but again, same results. My last suspect is the micro-SD card i'm flashing from, but i've seen it work with the de-samsungizer install. I've run disk repair, formatted to fat32, etc to retry but no luck there.
Any thoughts/suggestions on what to try next? Is this an obvious SD card failure issue? Should i try side-booting with ADB? Unfortunately i don't have the install logs copied here for more details but i hope this has been clear enough
Move the ROM to internal sd and try. Some people had issues flashing from external sd.

Ha. That totally did it. Thanks for the help.
I have updated my rom to CM12 a while ago and after that my recovery (TWRP) stopped working. Yesterday, I finaly decided to fix it, so I flashed CWM (it worked!) and I tried to update my rom to the latest CM 12 nightly build. When it booted into the OS, I get a bunch of error for Text-to-speed, Google play service, UI System, etc. I tried to wipe, reflash, reinstall gapps... same thing. Then, I tried to only install the os : Wipe, install the rom, boot still get the errors.
Anyone, has any idea on how to fix this?
I have a SGH-M919 (Samsung galaxy S4 - T-Mobile), I downloaded the JFLTETMO version of CM12.
You should start over.
Factory reset, reflash a stable version of cm12 and stay away from the nightlies.
Nightlies are experimental changes that are put out so you can try them on your phone. They don't always go well and your left with a phone that doesn't work.
If you need your phone to function properly you may consider stable CM11 or a stock rom.

Thanks for the reply, I downloaded a Stable build of CM11 and flashed it, but my phone kept rebooting in Recovery. I noticed that the sdcard/ folder is empty like if nothing was installed in the phone. I decided to flash TWRP. And when i flash the rom I get an error:
"E: Unable to open zip file."
"Error flashing /sdcard/rom3.zip"
Edit : Forget about the error I think the file was corrupted during transfer. Still getting the boot into recovery thing.
Try removing your SDCARD from the phone.
Turn phone off, remove SD card and start over. This may allow you to flash without errors.
Afterwards if successful tryout phone and then reinsert SD card.

Hi everyone,
Today I installed the new CM12 nightlies, after rebooting my HTC one m8 it showed me a popup message that google play services stopped working. I also couldnt launch particular apps. So after looking for a solution I tried reinstalling Gapps hoping this would solve the problem.
I downloaded the minimal Gapps ZIP file and flashed it using TWRP recovery, after I wiped the cache and dalvik cache. Once rebooted I started to get the anoying pop up notifications '' Gmail stopped working'' and ''youtube stopped working''. These two messages won't go away and makes my phone unusable. I think the reason why these messages keep popping up is because i flashed the minimal version of Gapps so I downloaded the normal version of Gapps on my computer since my phone isnt accesable because of the pop-up notifications that won't go away. What I did next was plug in my phone to my computer and moved Gapps L-3-14-15.zip to my SD card and installed it again. I also wiped the cache and dalvik cache. after I did a reboot and everything seemed fine for the first 20 seconds... It didnt last long. Im still having the same problem as before Gmail and youtube has stopped working. Do any of you know how to fix this without doing a system recovery?
Thanks in advance

To me it sounds like you installed a gapps 5.0 package not a 5.1 package. With the CM Nightly you need to make sure you're using an updated gapps package designed for android 5.1+.
I always use a minimal gapps package but usually CM has a link available on their page. Double check that you're installing a gapps 5.1 package. I am currently running the 5.1 nightlies and they're great thus far... 4/20 and 4/19 are both confirmable as working on my end. Good luck.
To correct Wipe /data /system /cache and dalvik reinstall the nightly and flash a 5.1 gapps package.

I guess the minimal Gapps package that I first installed wasnt for 5.1
In order to get rid of the pop up notifications I started my phone in safe mode. This worked and I saw there was a new update for cm12.1 after the update finished and I booted up my phone the pop up notification werent there anymore but google play services was also uninstalled. What I did next was installing the newest google play services pack. After it was done I installed the 5.1 Gapps version on my phone and now everything seems working fine again. I did get some notifications that an app such as chrome stopped working but a simple reinstal of the app fixed the problem. Somehow the apps that I moved to my external SD card arent here anymore but im glad I didnt have to do a factory reset.
Thanks for your help

every time i update my cm12 nightlies it has its own recovery (cyanogen recovery) but my zip files are not working with that recovery. (ex. cmzip.gapps, and kernels). for my device it works on PhilZ touch recovery. so the tendency is i have to flash fastboot boot.img(philz touch)again and again.
using Thunderzap kernel 4.15 im stock on bootloop.
running cm12.1 nightlies (4/20/15)
also gapps not compatible.

I use twrp and I've not had any issues with a cm recovery replacing twrp. On the 420 nightly I don't even see a recovery.img in the cm zip so I'm assuming you're updating via cm itself. I think there's a setting in there to choose to update cm recovery or not.
To flash Phillz recovery you're syntax would be "fastboot flash recovery recoveryimgname.img" the boot.img is your kernel. I'm not sure how many aosp 5.1 kernels the m8 has but I've not really been able to find any so I just use the cm one.
To correct your issues I would flash twrp 2.8.6 via fastboot flash recovery. Wipe everything from recovery (cache data dalvik system) and reinstall. If it was me I'd update cm via zip from now on if it was causing me these issues. Good luck

Everything seemed working fine again until 30 min. ago...
I got the notification chrome has stopped working. (Haven't had this message all the morning and chrome worked just fine.)
I restarted my phone and the first thing I noticed was that some of my apps have disapeared from my home screen, they are still in the app tray tho. Also my keyboard input mode has been set back to AOSP while normaly I use Swiftkey keyboard as my standard input. Chrome was still pushing me not working notification so I reinstalled chrome and now it works fine again. Not sure for how many time...
Its kinda anoying but maybe tonights nightlies will solve the problem somehow. If not, do you have any sugestions how to fix this?

Yeah I mean nightlys merge with code that it's being worked on and may break or fix certain things. Nightly builds may be perfect or they may not even boot. You kind of have to just flash them and see. Cm is very generic coding and depending on your carrier may not have the non open source vendor blobs necessary to make, say, your speakers work properly. It really depends. I don't believe Verizon had released their kernel source for lollipop so sometimes downgrading firmware to known source (ie 4.4.4) may help alleviate connectivity issues with Wi-Fi and things of that sort. Team UBs build and lollipop dream 5.0.2 have been my go tos as of late. The lollipop dream build is the smoothest running cm build I've ever used even on nexus devices. Very well made.

Maybe it's me missing something, I downloaded and installed PA 5.1, build from 20th May which I do not think is an Alpha that I would need to factory reset to do an OTA over.
However today OTA popped up with a update to the 28th May build, the upgrade seems to work but the phone then will not boot up instead I get the initial S3 screen twice with a blank screen in between then it drops in to recovery?
Think I am doing the update right i.e. download in OTA app, click install, phone reboots in to recovery runs install, reboots -- then in theory it should boot back up but at this point I have the above loop and back to recovery...
The recovery that I an using is Philz recovery - added it a couple of nights ago to install the original build of 5.1 and Gapps so that seems to work, there no errors with the OTA as its installed, the caches are being cleared first by the install script everything looks fine until the phone tries to boot back up. Have tried it 3 times now downloading a new copy of the OTA each time in case of corruption and restoring from a good backup on each failure.
Any ideas appreciated?
... and thank you in advance

Well, i'm on I9300 and all i can tell you is that i have the same exact problem with the same release, so you're not alone.
I was hoping this new release would work since the one of the 20 may didn't, but this one won't even boot.
I guess I9300 doesn't get love anymore...
You are not alone in this. It is happening with me too since the stable build of 28th May. I tried the on on June 12th too ...but even that is failing as well
How come it is a stable build when it has a bug like this and crashes the phone? Are we making a mistake? Does it require a different kernel or what can I do to make it work?!

I'm stuck with this I have tried the last 3 ota updates with CWM, TWRP and Philz recovery all fail as above. Even tried downloading the full versions and doing a clean install with gapps and they fail. Could be a kernel issue but cannot find anything that states a dependency, is the kernel not part of the download like in a Linux OS? As never upgraded a kernel separately, how would you do that, is it another zip file, any ideas where to get it from?

I actually got it working finally a few days back.
You need to install boeffla kernel version 4 alpha 3 in order get the latest pa rom up and running. Go to boeffla-kernel website. In downloads select the device GT-I 9300. You will find CM12.1 NG version which is not yet stable. In that select version 4 alpha 3. Alpha 6 is latest but does not work too :/ Download Alpha 3 .. a .zip file which can be flashed using TWRP or Philz or CWM.
Wipe cache/dalvik-cache → flash boeffla → flash pa latest → flash pa gapps latest for 5.1

I also have problem but thankfully when I did the steps above, it did finally boot but now I have another problem. My S3 boots properly and I can use it for a while then after a few mins it suddenly reboots with boot animation and all and I dunno what to do. It just keeps rebooting after a certain amount of mins.
@Aledresin: glad that I was able to help you. I am not experiencing any such issues at the moment. When the next PA build is released, try to flash it with boeffla 4 alpha 6.
Afaik ..some memory issues were fixed in alpha 6 and as you are using alpha 3..perhaps you are experiencing those issues.

Do you happen to have a copy/mirror of "boeffla-kernel-4.0-alpha3-CM12.1-NG-i9300.recovery.zip"
I've been searching for a few days and can't find it anywhere. The official boeffla site no longer hosts this file and a lot of i9300 users need it to run the latest Paranoid OTA.
EDIT: Found it! It's available here: http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boef...load/Test/old/
Thanks to user Hawaiihemd for the info.

I had a very similar problem and found that if I let it automatically reboot after flashing, then I was stuck just rebooting to recovery. If I manually shut down after flashing and manually booted, then everything worked fine. You may have the same thing happening here. I also used PhilzTouch and like it a lot. Thanks to the devs!
hi,
today, i tried to update my op3 from lineageos 14.1-201703202 to the new lineage-14.1-20170309 with twrp. but i when flashing, i get error 7.
i already had the same issue the last time and could solve the issue with first flashing oxygen 4.0.3.
i guess when i flashed oxygen 40.3, i got the newest firmware and modem (and still have it, of course). why do i get this "error 7" again?
i thought it was because of the "false" twrp (i have 3.0.4-1) and then i made the big mistake to update twrp to 3.1.0.0. this version of twrp wiped my phone. thanks good, i had a one day old full nandroid backup to restore phone including going back to twrp 3.4.0-1.
but what should i do to get the newest lineageos flashed?
i am a absolute beginner and dont have deeper knowledge, but i am already a little bit angry that everytime i want to flash an lineageos update, i get into trouble. is this normal with oneplus3 and lineage? what am i doing wrong?
thanks a lot for your help.
best regards,
flotsch1
I have a similar issue with LineageOS updates.. I flashed LineageOS14.1-20170208 nightly on my Oneplus 3 with twrp-3.0.4-1, however I cannot upgrade to newer nightly releases. For some reason they always fail to install, it actually boots on recovery mode but installation using twrp quickly fails and I cannot even see the exact error it throws. Any ideas?
If you do a search, you will see how to fix this error. It is an error in the script and you simply have to remove a couple lines.

It isn't, it is a check for firmware... Could be that lineage is using OB12 firmware now..
Same here, had the error 7 when i flashed 20170302. Fixed it with a new modem firmwae installation.
Now i have the same error again installing 20170309.
But there's new fw/modem here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628
Install latest and flash new lineage. No error 7 here!

The fix is mentioned in the official weekly lineageos thread. basically you need to factory reset, flash the zip file attached in the thread and then flash the latest lineageos nightly/weekly image, followed by wiping dalvik and cache. It worked for me anyway, although everything got wiped so I had to restore my apps from backup (I use titanium backup).
flashing the betafirmware was the solution for error 7, but please see my other tread explaing my gapps-problems after successful lineagos update.
Here is how you fix error 7 in TWRP. You simply edit the first Two lines in the updated script by deleting them. https://youtu.be/XkwSO_I9GfE
