CM13 - Installing Questions

Hi all, first time working with Samsung devices, so got noob question, please bear with me.
I'm currently on 4.2.2 stock.
How to:
1. Download ODIN 3.10.7 on a Windows OS
2. Choose your device package and flash it via ODIN :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=54013
3. Flash TWRP 3.0 recovery from ODIN or older version of TWRP :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=31895
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I read from some searching that both device baseband package (from [2]) and TWRP (from [3]) is to be flashed via the AP section of ODIN.
My question is, if I would like to perform a backup of my current stock, can I just flash [2] and [3], then boot into recovery to do nandroid backup?
Will flashing [2] and [3] prevent the stock backup from booting afterwards, if I restore it?

no dont worry .flashing recovery just changes your current recovery into twrp. the second package is needed to be flashed in order that cm13 recognizes sim and baseband wont be unknown any more.
after flashing thise two you'll be able to work with your phone like before and yes you can get a nandroid backup of your current rom until you haven't wiped.

@darknessd31 thank you so much. I managed to get it to work.
Now I got one more problem - files as small as 7mb will give this error when opened:
"The file is too big to be open inside this device."

give some more information what format is it, what application do yo try to open the file with,is the file on sdcard?

Hi @vemoxy,
I'm facing the same error message ("The file is too big to be open inside this device") on an LG G3. Did you manage to find a solution to this?
Thanks!

My Note 8 bricked, but if I remember correctly, restarting did the trick for me.

Fastboot issues with G3

Hi,
I've got a G3 (D855) which I rooted about 6 months ago but was never able to install TWRP on. I flashed the image but when I tried to boot into recovery I got a black screen with a tiny error message (and I mean tiny, could barely read it) saying 780(?) fastboot error.
Now I get the same message when I try to do a factory reset.
Tried to flash back to stock with LG flash tool but had an error with a milky way connection!??
The phone works fine but I want to be able to do nandroid backups and maybe install a custom ROM. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Munky99: take the latest TWRP-version, check md5, try simple adb/fastboot commands to test connection

Thanks rp158. I don't know what all of that means.
I've got the latest .img file for my device. There was also a .asc file which I ignored.
I don't know how to check the md5.
In powershell on my pc, I get device null not found.

@Munky99
TWRP: you're right, here is no md5 to control. But to be safe, download again and check file-size.
FASTBOOT: if you cannot see your device, reinstall LG-drivers and ADB/FASTBOOT-mini-package.

Could somebody help me?downgrade emui5

:crying:Last night, I installed the Android 8 update package on the forum.
Halfway through, an error is displayed and then exit.
I tried eRecovery and Hisuite, but all failed.
I tried it and found that the original recovery partition became recovery_ramdisk. It looks like the partition has changed.
What can I do to be able to return to emui5?
I have imagined "fastboot flashall", but I do not know how? Forgive my lame English

recovery_ramdisk. is the new name of recovery partition. EMUI8/Oreo flashing has started means the partitions etc have changed already so right now you can't go back to EMUI 5 as rollback images are not available yet. You can try to flash again properly with proper download for your specific model. I guess you are missing some echo commands.

thank you very much

I upgraded my phone to android EMUI8 and tried to install the RR 8.1 ROM but my device wouldn't boot up. Then I tried to reflash the stock system.img but it won't let me. I don't have TWRP on my phone but I can acces fastboot. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance :^l

Ok, that does not seem too bad, yet.
I suppose you are using system.img downloaded from web.
That image has given many that same error.
Best to use your system.img.
And the error flashing twrp, is common when using the nougat command or nougat recovery on Oreo.
Solutions.
Find your firmware on pro-teammt
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=Bnd-&firmware_page=0
Then download update.zip
Extract files.
Get hauwei update extractor.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0xkKEyI85nY9x4Fjr1AWJl
Extract the system.img
Then fastboot flash it.
Recovery:
Oreo command== fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_ramdisk
Twrp name depends on version used. I use build 4 from here

yes there is a bug either in the extractor or the update files. they all do it. Go to the settings tab and take check mark off verify header.

I flashed the system.img but now the phone bootloops. It could be possible I got the wrong system.img because I don't know exactly what firmware my phone was on before I messed up. I only know it was EMUI8. Is there a way to completely reflash everything?

Yes. I have guide thread here for that.

I tried rebooting to stock recovery in order to factory reset but it only shows me the update, power off and reboot options so no factory reset possibility. I read through the entire thread you linked here but I'm very confused as to what to do with the full OTA file. I'm on a broken EMUI8 that bootloops and I'd like to clean flash EMUI8 again so I can flash an AOSP Oreo rom after that. What do I do?

Just made updates to guide last night. I think it is worded simple now.
Download my update "package" from step E
Extract it to a folder on your PC.
You are on emui8, so copy the HWOTA folder from the extracted zip to your sdcard
Also put hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip on sdcard.
Put the three (3) update files from pro-teammt.ru in the HWOTA8 folder on your sdcard
Put card into phone
Boot into twrp
Select install
Choose sdcard as source
Install hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip

So far so good but the FULLOTA update file I got from that website only has one file (update.zip) Do I need to extract that? And if so, what 3 files do I put on my sdcard?

No do not extract it.
On that site, next to link for update file, is "file list"
Click this. It gives links for all three files.
Put those three zip files into hwota folder

That should be fine.
Usually means you have other adb also , probably from other tool.
If you have twrp , not need to use the terp recovery installer

Well the problem is I don't have TWRP and none of the versions i've tried to install work. The installer doesn't work either, it says closing adb daemon and stays on that.

Dude, you're the man! I got my device up and running again. I'll probably stay on EMUI8 since it's more stable than the current AOSP rom. I wanna root it tho so can I just use the lazy recovery tool to install twrp and simply install magisk?

Shouldn't be, at least not from that, not completely.
Was this the first condition, or an added problem?
I think best thing to try is the service ROM.
This one is BND-L21C432..
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.. If this is not the correct version for your honor 7x

Now with dc phoenix i have restore the fastboot and the erecovery, i can flash all i want but nothing happens, just boot loop at "your phone is not trusted" screen.
I was on catuva's rom before brick and now i have the catuva splashboot screen even after full firmware retore by dc phoenix.
When i try to flash in twrp i see lot of errors related to partition table (invalid argument cust, odm, sytsem etc) it seems the partition table have a problem..
The DLOAD can restore this ?

When i try to restore via dload it stuck at 5% and it says "software install failed!" ..
Someone Help me ?..

Says in the install guide for it, you must be running at newest security patch in order to install elemental.
Please focus on one thing. Getting phone to boot full stock first before trying other rom. You are going to hard brck your phon if you keep doing flashes when the stock fails to install
