I'm trying to install the latest update to cm13 but it errors out. I'm only running stock CM with no custom kernel. I've also tried a full wipe and reinstall but get the same error message. Any help is appreciated.
Which rom are you running now? If it's lollipop based then you need to flash marshmallow to then flash cm13 over the top of it.
If you are s-on you have to use an ruu or an ota. If you are s-off there are plenty of zips around you can flash.
The principle is, you need a base rom to flash the "incomplete" cm13.

You need to update your firmware to the latest version and then you will be able to flash the new ROM.

I have an international model HTC One M8 and it's currently rooted with S-ON, has TWRP installed and I'm using the ARHD Custom ROM.
I know to receive OTA updates I need to be on stock rom and recovery but is there any particular need to get these updates?
ARHD is updated quite often and I usually just dirty flash and sometimes clean wipe and flash the newest version of the ROM. Will I get all the updates I need through the rom or do I need to reflash stock and stock recovery and get OTA updates before flashing the newest version of the custom rom?
Also, a side question. Should I S-Off my phone? Are there any benefits for a regular user such as myself?

If you're happy to update when Mike releases a new version then just go with that - he uses the new OTA to update his ROM so you'll be getting the same benefits. Just make sure you flash the new firmware package to get the FULL benefits of the new update (new radio, kernel, etc)

So on the downloads page of ARHD website (sorry can't post outside links yet) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694917
Say there was a new firmware update and a new version of ARHD to match. I would go to the firmware collection link and browse through to get a zip of the latest firmware, flash that first and then flash the newest version of ARHD?

Yeah, when ARHD 7.0 comes out (based on 1.54.401.10) then it'd work best with the corresponding firmware package
My Nexus 7 wifi has the 4.4.3 update that has been prompting me to update. I tried doing the update which fails.
I do have TWRP installed, MultiROM, and a customer kernel. I tried flashing a custom kernel which did not resolve the issue.
I currently swap between stock and CM depending on what I would like to play with.

I'd do a nandroid before doing anything.
It might help if you state what the exact contents of the error is, my guess is that you have changed something in /system (unexpected contents error), and flashing a custom kernel won't fix it, in fact you would want to flash a stock 4.4.2 system.img and stock 4.4.2 boot.img if you want to use the OTA method, else you can just skip using the OTA and try and flash a 4.4.3 system.img and 4.4.3 boot.img, either way make sure you clear dalvik and cache before booting up after the system flashes.
You cannot install official updates if your device is modified!
Since you mentioned that you are familiar with CM, why don't you update to the latest CM ROM?

I play with it every once in awhile but I don't know why I enjoy stock but I do. Maybe I will go back to CM.
hi guys - so i tried to install the revolution rom on my recently unlocked m9 and it'd only boot to the bootloader or download.
i found some threads back from 2012 that said twrp wouldn't install the rev rom, but suspect it's out of date - it seemed to work fine.
is there some magic here? i tried to flash my firmware to the version matching the rom (3.35.401.12) and got a code 10 failure in adb. my current firmware is 3.10.605.7. doesn't flashing the rom update the firmware too? or do i need to successfully flash the rom prior?
should i use a different recovery? twrp launched the rev aroma installer and all seemed to go perfectly smoothly... no problems came up until reboot brought me right back to bootloader.
the aroma install says it might boot loop a couple times, but i booted to bootloader 5+ times before giving up and going back to a deodexed stock vzw rom.
any help is greatly appreciated - i'm hoping to get up to marshmallow before calling it good enough and moving on.
Flashing the rom doesnt update the firmware. S-on makes sure of that.
You must be on the base firmware for the rom to take. You need the vzw marshmallow ota update before you can flash a marshmallow based rom.

Hi All,
Iv'e never posted here before, but I'm having issues updating to a newer version of TWRP and updating to the latest version of the ViperOne Rom.
I am currently using TWRP v2.8.7.0. I attempted to flash the latest version 3.0.2.0, but the recovery fails to load once I have flashed it. If i flash back to the older version the recovery works straight away.
The reason I am trying to install the newest TWRP is because newer ViperOne Roms don't seem to work when flashed. I am currently using ViperOneM9 V3.5.0. None of the later versions are working for me. Once I flash the newer Roms, the handset keeps booting back to the bootloader.
Does anyone have any idea why these problems are happening? I have no idea what to try next.
Thanks

In one word, u must upgrade to a Marshmallow firmware, because latest versions are compatible only with Marshmallow (Android 6).

Thanks so much. I appreciate your help.
The title almost says it all.
I am on a custom 4.4.2 ROM (using ND1 firmware) and want to look into upgrading to 5.1.1 or higher. Obviously rooted with TWRP recovery.
I know I'll need to upgrade my TWRP from 2.6.0.3 or whatever it is on right now to 3 or better - but I need to know if I will have to flash official stock 5.1 to upgrade to the newest firmware, if there is a newest firmware, to get the install clean with minimal errors or can I just flash a custom TW ROM and hope that upgrades the firmware, if there is new firmware, or is there a thread I can be directed to so I can read up on what I need to do to upgrade?
Or since I am already rooted with TWRP, can I just upgrade or flash my twrp to a known good version and flash a rom then be on my way?
Thanks in advance!
Dear Friend , It's all clear that if if you want to install any TW Lollipop ROMs, you need to first install a Lollipop firmware ( Using Odin ) to install a Lollipop bootloader ( do not even think of ticking the update bootloader in Odin because then you wouldn't be able to revert into KK firmware and then you can't run any KK ROM on Lollipop bootloader ) and then install a TWRP ( I recommend ShevT's one which is less glitchie and faster than the official ones because of the F2FS support !! ) and then you're free to go the way you like
... Hope it helps ... With Best Wishes - Hitman1376
