I want to flash the CM 12.1 to my T-Mobile Galaxy S III but I don't know where to download the gapps for the latest nightly here
i also dont know if T-Mobile is arm, arm64, or x86
so I cant download in this site from cynogenmod
another question- is it the Cyanogen Recovery from this link will be use to flash the ROM or it is the recovery that will be use after flashing the CM12.1?
Use the ARM gapps.
I recommend using either Philz Touch recovery or TWRP, both of which can be flashed using Odin.
I have never used Cyanogen's recovery but have had great success with Philz and TWRP.

thanks on your reply but I already solve it using the recovery from ROM manager app that I downloaded in the Play store but there is still a problem on it when I update using CyanogenMod updates it will fail to flash automatically after clicking install, so I still need to flash it manually, that's why I still need to flash the recovery provided with CyanogenMod
I have never used the recovery from cyanogen so I don't know if it will automatically dirty flash the update. I also don't know if the cyanogen recovery can flash other zips such as supersu, different gapp versions, etc.
Automatic flashing is not something I like to do because a nightly can cause problems. By using twrp, I can easily make a nandroid backup before flashing a new nightly.
Just tried the Cyanogen recovery and, after downloading a nightly update, I click install and it reboots to recovery and dirty flashes the updated ROM; however, the Cyanogen recovery would not flash the LP Gapps while Philz and TWRP were able to flash the Gapps. Also, the Cyanogen recovery does not have an option to create a nandroid backup.
I have been using the modified TWRP version 3.0.2-1 since OOS beta 7 (now I am on the latest Nougat stable build).
I have noticed that TWRP takes too long to open and remains stuck on the main screen. Is there a newer version of TWRP that supports flashing the latest builds? Do we even need modified TWRP now for flashing?

I used latest official twrp 3.0.3.0 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/recovery-official-twrp-oneplus-3-t3539129) flashing 4.0.1->4.0.2.
I have root and encryption and twrp can unlock the encryption.

awesome, thanks!
I flashed a Resurrection Remix ROM from AFH - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555001686 however when I flash the ROM in TWRP and proceed to boot it always reboots back to TWRP instead of the actual ROM. I'm on TWRP 2.8.7.0 I've tried other TWRP versions but they all yield the same result. Can anyone help?
hi guys
so I tried installing Dot OS V5.1 on my a70q, I flashed vbmeta and then twrp using a guide on XDA and I can boot twrp and install the rom with no errors but after rebooting my phone boots into download mode and the only way I can fix it is by flashing the stock rom using odin
I also tried lineage 18.1 but it has the same problem
(bootloader is unlocked, flashed gapps arm64 android 11 pico version with both roms, I can root my device using twrp and stock rom by flashing magisk with no problems it happens only when I try to install a custom rom)
any help is appreciated
