Hi.
How do I upgrade my CM Fire phone version?
Been happily running CM11 on my phone for a few months.
I was looking for updates through Settings -> About phone -> CyanogenMod updates, but it kept stating no new updates available.
When I checked today this forum, I realized there are updates available, but I could not find instructions for updating the Fire phone (only found for fresh install).
So, how do I update the phone ?
Instructions, links or hints would be highly appreciated.
TIA,
Zeevik

Hi,
i can personally say that "dirty flashing" the update was never a Problem.
Just flash the new updated .zip like you did before BUT WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING.
then you should be updated WITHOUT loosing installed files

Upgrading to new Version
- Flash the ROM
- Reboot
- Enjoy!
- To preserve root between upgrades, you need to setup SuperSU to survive OTA updates.

By definition:
dirty flash ---> flash new version of the ROM, wipe cache and dalvik afterwards
If you don't want to wipe caches, that's fine... if some apps start acting up, wiping the caches will solve the problem (9/10 times) after a dirty flash.
You can find and download all previous versions in the changelog (post #2) if you ever feel the need to go back to a specific build version.

...so updating to a new CM release is really simple and it only takes a few minutes.
But make sure you stay on CM11 and not go to CM12+.
Hey guys, CyanOS 13.1 OTA is pushed to the Swifts.
Changelog/features: https://cyngn.com/blog/cyanogen-os-13-1
Want to get it but rooted?
Wait for the correct zip to appear on this page (not there as of 12.08), then download it and install it using a recovery: https://cyngn.com/support
Discuss stuff below
COS 13.1 is on https://cyngn.com/support now.
Did anyone dirty flash from COS 13.0 ?

Works fine.
Flash 13.1, then superSU, then TWRP recovery, then reboot.
Reboot takes very long, be patient and have more than 50% battery.

I can't find 13.1 on cyngn.com/support. You guys have a direct link to the OTA that you can share?

There's no reason to share the OTA, as you can't install it, but here's the zip you're looking for: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/crackling/cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS29G-crackling-signed-d4ad5010c5.zip
Does anyone install the OTA on an cryped phone. After my last update from 12.1 to 13.0 I can't decrypt my phone with my passphrase. So it would be cool to know it is working as I use my phone as a daily driver.

I don't know if it has any decryption problems, but dirty flashing lower level updates causes less issues (in this case, instead of 12.1 to 13.0 you are doing a 13.0 to 13.1 and instead of an android 5.1 to 6.0 you are doing a 6.0 to 6.0)
I compared cm-13.0 with cm-13.1 'fastboot' partitions and only following ones differ:
boot.img
emmc_appsboot.mbn
recovery.img
system.img
So I guess upgrade (even dirty) should be seamless.
I have no Wileyfox Swift but I maintain those of 2 friends.
I'll upgrade (and root + twrp) them without factory reset, just dalvik cache clean.
Updated (rooted) and slightly broke my Apps2SD in the fact that it is always and invariably asking me for a second soft reboot after initial startup (each taking a long time to complete) for it to be able to properly mount the second partition. This is never a problem that I have had to do prior to the update. Not a major fault but a nuisance nevertheless.

I remember having limitations in previous Android versions, but in this one, anything that isn't an uninstallable system app I can move to my SD card :laugh:
Did the update on my cryped not rooted phone. And the update went through without any problems. Only Twitter mod was not working but after clearing the data for this mod and doing a reboot it is working.

Go into the app info of the app you want on the SD Card -> Storage -> Storage used, CHANGE
It seems to work for all uninstallable apps for me now, I hope it does so for you as well

Many thanks. I was under the impression that this would only move the app (apk) itself but leave all the paraphernalia associated with it (data, obb... etc.) behind on internal memory. I will give it a try.
Currently on 13.1-ZNH2KAS29G, just got a prompt for another OTA update, cm-crakling-93b9ab5039-to-fdb0efc362-signed
Anyone know whats in this, and if the links on the CyanogenOS site have been updated to include this?
I can't currently install the OTA because I have TWRP recovery installed

It is definitely an update, but not available as full package. You can install it and reinstall the recovery (download via updater app and locate it, copy to separate directory, install 13.1 full, install ota, install twrp, install super SU)
But i have not tried it because i am on holiday without a pc...
Report back if that's working!

Do you know where exactly the updater app downloads it to?
Installed the new update yesterday. It looks like a security update. I think that this will fix the latest issues with the Qualcomm chip. But I don't know it for sure.
hello all,
I have a rooted OP3 running the latest TWRP recovery. Using these instructions I am trying to upgrade to 3.2.8 from 3.2.7. There are no errors displayed during OOS or SuperSU install steps.
But when the phone reboots - it stays stuck at the boot animation. This happens across several attempts. I do not have xposed installed, if it helps. Repeating the above steps with a 3.2.7 image works without issues.
Is there any way I can figure out where the 3.2.8 reboot is getting stuck at? I *do not* want to do a fresh install.
Any thoughts/ Suggestions? I have already posted at the above thread and thought I'd try my luck here too.
EDIT: Can a MOD please move this to Q&A forum. Just realized I posted to Guides, News & Discussion.

That's my last option. But that's as good as starting from scratch. In which case, I might as well postpone until Nougat arrives on the OP3

Flash the new Beta 10. i'm currently using it with root and it works great
Not sure what you mean - without a phone. I was able to roll back to 3.2.7 with zero issues
I was mulling over installing the Beta - but I understand Nougat is due in Jan? Also, is there a process to move to b10 without losing data?

Did you download the full 3.2.8 zip from http://downloads.oneplus.net? I did. And to my surprise, it erases the whole userdata partition, including TWRP backups and downloaded files (including SuperSU zip). So big warning if you try with that zip. I assume that this zip is intended for those reverting from Nougat Beta, to go back from F2FS to EXT4.
My solution was to restore an old TWRP backup that was saved on my PC and then reflash a modified full 3.2.8 zip where the last line in the update script was removed: the one that erases userdata partition. So before flashing full 3.2.8 zip from http://downloads.oneplus.net I recommend you to remove the last line in the update script.
No, I downloaded the Full ZIP from this official thread on the OP3 forums. I was aware of that line though. And from previous experience - the first thing I do when I make a TWRP backup is to move it off the phone. That and I purchased Titanium Backup long time ago. I use it to back up stuff surgically and sync it up to Dropbox every night. The app also seems to have the ability to make a recovery-flashable "update.zip" - something I have yet to try.
Appreciate the heads-up though.

OK. I also use TB, and from now on I use cloud storage :laugh:
After the full modified 3.2.8 zip I successfully flashed official SuperSU 2.79, Xposed v87 and Bluspark r25 kernel. I use F2FS on data partition. It boots and runs fine!
The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is that it stays on the bootlogo (OnePlus logo, Powered by Android) for about 25 secs before the bootanimation begins when booting to system. Much faster before. When booting to recovery (TWRP 28, Bluspark) the time on bootlogo is normal (short). Any thoughts on that?
I wish I had, man. You went a number of steps ahead when your phone went past the boot animation
As a afterthought - try looking through your logs.

Hello,
I would response to the official thread, but I'm not allowed.
Could somebody please tell me if there is an OTA function in Freedom OS, or how I could update it?
Aroma installer only configure once, so how I reconfigure without loss of my data?
Thanks mcdy
XDA has a per-thread search function, please use it next time.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3409348?query=ota
Short answer: Do not use the OTA function, it will attempt to download regular Oxygen OS.
Flashing a new version of Freedom OS while configuring it with Aroma will not delete any of your files in internal storage, or any of the settings in your apps. Just install the same apps that you had before.
Thanks for reply, I tried search, but looks like the wrong way.
So I have to flash update over recovery?
What if I want more or less apps, is this also possible?
You only write same.
Thanks mcdy

You can add more apps or choose to not install any app you want. When updating (through recovery), TWRP essentially wipes your /system partition and replaces it with the ROM you are currently flashing. All the apps in the AROMA installer system apps, so flashing a new version will essentially delete all the old ones and replace then with those you choose to install. App data and settings for those apps are saves in /data rather than /system, so your settings will remain unchanged.

Imagine your system, OS, and system apps is on drive C: and all your downloaded apps, data, and personal files are on drive D:
The installer only touches C: so you can configure it however you want as many times as you want.

That's pretty obvious, isn't it?
First off I'm no tech guru, so please provide as much detail as possible if you can so I can follow along... TIA!!
I am trying to upgrade my old LG V500 from KitKat 4.4.2 to Nougat.
I followed details in a video, by downloading the necessary files....
-Latest TWRP App (the APK)
https://dl.twrp.me/twrpapp/
-Latest TWRP Recovery for the v500
https://dl.twrp.me/v500/
-Stump Root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...
-LineageOS build for the v500
lineage-14.1-20180909-nightly-v500-signed.zip
I hit Install and selected the above Lineage file and swiped to confirm the flash in TWRP.
What I got was this error...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12ZY3y9pNaRJxqWHuCJSEmyl5Xmn3CtXq/view?usp=sharing
Now I am confused on what to do. I don't want to lose my old 4.4.2 build since this upgrade didn't work.
I could really use some serious help on what steps I should take. My preference would be to upgrade this tablet, but if I have to revert back then so be it (but don't even know how to do that). Wondering if I did something wrong or this .zip file is just outdated, not sure what else 'Error 7' refers to, other than Error installing .zip file.
Any help would be appreciated!

Most likely that is the case, rom file is two years older than the recovery. You can either:
1. Install newer version of Lineage with that recovery: https://www.los-legacy.de/v500
2. Flash older version of TWRP first and then install that older Lineage, or some other rom (for example I have TWRP version 3.3.1-0 and Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL which works flawlessly https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/testing-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-3-oms-t3601456)
Thx Indie Zex for the options.
My dilemma now is, how would I install this new Lineage with the recovery file, since I am still in TWRP?
Need help on what steps I need to follow to either exit out of TWRP to get the newer Lineage file.
I assume you can't load anything from the link you provided while I'm in TWRP....am I correct?
If I exit out of TWRP now, will I completely lose my original 4.4.2 (KitKat) build?

If I understand correctly, you are still in TWRP on your tablet right? If you performed full wipe of Dalvik Cache/Cache/System/Data (like you always should do before installing a new rom) then you can kiss your KitKat goodbye forever! If for some reason you didn't wipe anything, then in the main menu of TWRP you can select Reboot, then System and your tablet should (luckily) boot into KitKat. But lets say your tablet is wiped and you now have to install new rom:
1. On your computer download https://www.los-legacy.de/v500 and open gapps https://opengapps.org/ (ARM, 7.1, pico)
2. Connect your tablet with computer via usb cable and copy both rom and gapps to internal storage (Windows should see your tablet as a mass storage device no problem even if you're in TWRP and you have proper LG drivers installed)
3. Now on your tablet: from main menu go into Wipe, then Advanced Wipe, then on Select Partitions to Wipe page tick Dalvik Cache/Cache/System/Data and Swipe to Wipe
4. Back to main menu and select Install, then find rom from the internal storage, then Add more zips and find gapps and finally Swipe to confirm Flash
5. Once that's finished press Wipe Dalvik Cache/Cache and then Reboot
That should hopefully be it.
TY Indie Zex,
You understood correctly, and I did a full wipe of Dalvik Cache/Cache/System/Data. I was afraid you would say I lost my old 4.4.2., but I really just wanted some insurance to go back if things got messed up, which they did!
For the legacy OS, I assume I should be going with the very latest lineage file (2020-09-05 date)?
Question about Nougat vs Q or Pie - If I pick Nougat, is there a compatibility upgrade/update path via Nougat OS to get to Pie or Q, easily within the software just by selecting 'Update' option in the 'Settings'?
or if I ever want to add the latest Android OS like Pie or Q, I would have to again go thru the full swipe and re-load another ROM and the specific gapps for either Pie or Q.
I assume Q is still quite new and maybe buggy, but is Pie now very stable or still some unresolved issues? I know it might be difficult to answer, as there are always bugs in firmware version. Just trying to get a gauge for which would be safer to go with if I need to upgrade.
TY you again for being patient with a newbie

You always flash custom roms the same way in TWRP, you can not just update unfortunately. The next thing to pay attention to is to download correct version of gapps for Oreo or Pie roms (there are no Q roms for our tablet). You have probably seen this tutorial here for Pie https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/guide-tutorial-howto-lg-gpad-8-3-v500-t3967069. I have tried it as well as https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-crdroid-android-t3772076 but they both have broken camera unfortunately. Everything else is basically fine, with Oreo having better performance.

Rhetorical questions.
What's wrong with pressing the THANKS icon under Indie Zex's answers instead of writing "TY"?
.
Besides, if you were advised to install a very stable Nougat, why don't you try it first, before thinking about P and Q?

Yes, I did see the Pie tutorial and did read through it, the non-working camera was certainly something I did not want. Good to know you have Oreo running on yours, and better performance.
So do you suggest I load Oreo vs Nougat?
For Oreo would I select v8 or v8.1? and what variant?
I found this info...I was thinking of Micro or Mini, thoughts? Can the V500 handle the memory requirements for these?
Variant:
Aroma: Graphical installer of the super package while in recovery menu, it allows user to select which applications to install.
Super: Includes all Google Apps that were ever shipped on a Google device.
Stock: Recommended package that contains all Google Apps that come standard on latest Nexus/Pixel phone.
Full : Very similar to Stock version.
Mini : Smaller set of popular Google Apps with extra functionality.
Micro: Limited set of Google Apps with Gmail, Calendar Google Now with extra functionality.
Nano : Minimal installation with extra functionality.
Pico : Minimum with Google Play functionality. (Each package varies with file sizes and included Google Apps)
TY again, much appreciated!

Since you already have latest TWRP version installed, I suggest you go with latest lineage rom (2020-09-05) with gapps of your choice. For Oreo and other older roms you need to flash older TWRP version, such as above mentioned 3.3.1-0 (and please do not ask how ).
And finally I wanna say this: don't worry if you mess something up, you already have and you certainly will again :laugh:. There is a wonderful world of flashing roms (and wasting your precious time ) ahead of you, so go boldly into the unknown! :fingers-crossed:

No, as a matter of fact I have Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL installed on TWRP version 3.3.1-0.
There is only one version of Oreo for our tablet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-crdroid-android-t3772076. I have tried it, it runs nicely but camera DOES NOT work just like in Pie version (which is a little bit choppy for my taste).
I wouldn't go above micro, 2GB of ram is a little bit tight. But hey, if you like Google so much try and see how it runs.

I guess I misunderstood you earlier on which rom you where using, thought it was Oreo. Does the camera function with this Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL? Based on the Variant list I posted, how would you categorize this rom?
I am intrigued, I thank you for the words of encouragement, just a bit intimidating this world, but I am willing to try!

Camera (and everything else) works on all Nougat (and earlier) roms. Differences between them come down to customization: for example Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL and crDroid Android 4.7 offer more customization options compared to LineageOs, but are two years old. Latest Lineage, on the other hand, has literally last month security patches. And I suggest you install them all, one at a time

I followed your instructions...at least I'm pretty sure I did. lol
I got an install Error 20, it says to download the correct version for my rom 6.0.1
I went with the GAPPS file (ARM, 7.1, micro)
Does this mean I cannot use the micro variant?

Hm, the error suggests that you have 6.0.1 rom which you tried to flash with 7.1 gapps. Just in case, download older version twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img and flash it in TWRP:
1. Copy twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img from computer to internal storage of a tablet
2. In main menu of TWRP select Install, then Install Image
3. Choose twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img and flash it (IMPORTANT: do not reboot right away!)
4. Go back to main menu then press Reboot and select Recovery
5. You will boot to recovery again, now the older version
6. Now flash rom ONLY (whichever Nougat variant you want) with standard described procedure (with wipe and everything) and reboot
7. Once you are in system, check it out and come back later into TWRP to install correct gapps (yes, you can use micro)

And let me know did you make it in about 8 hours, it's late here so I have to sleep

Hi Indie Zex,
I read your above instructions, but somewhat confused.
I looked for twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img but can't seem to find it, has the file name changed?
I went to the link page you provided (below) for your Resurrection Remix build, and the Rom available there was RR-N-v5.8.5-20171001-v500-Final.zip
2. Flash older version of TWRP first and then install that older Lineage, or some other rom (for example I have TWRP version 3.3.1-0 and Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 FINAL which works flawlessly https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...3-oms-t3601456)

Yep, that is the "newest" one which I have installed. If download link is broken, you can get rom from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261778561

Before I try to flash my tablet with twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img, what do I need to do with the lineage-14.1-20200905-UNOFFICIAL-v500.zip that I ran and is still in Internal storage. Can I just delete via my computer, or do I need to remove it thru TWRP?

If you don't need it anymore, you can delete it via computer. It doesn't really matter when you install .img file. When you select install image in main menu of TWRP you won't see any other files except for .img ones. Just make sure to reboot to recovery instead of reboot to system to continue with installing rom.

Great TY.
So from yesterday when my install failed, I just need some direction on what do I do to get out of this screen, please.
I have the option button to Wipe Cache/Dalvik or Reboot System.
Do I need to hit the Wipe button to remove the lineage-14.1-20200905-UNOFFICIAL-v500.zip? Or Wipe anything else?
Or do I just go back to the main menu for TWRP and install the twrp-3.3.1-0-v500.img and follow the rest of your instructions?
TY again.
