Max, did anybody tell you you are a genius. I am telling you you are:). Am a newbie, followed your instructions and voila...got it right the first time. Thank you. Just finished installing cyanogen 12.1. Was tense, heart's beating okay now. Thank you once again.
hi max I accidentally wiped my sdcard in twrp. now when I try to go to internal_sd, I have nothing but TWRP. How do I restore my 32GB back? please help, and no I didn't follow this tutorial. :-)
Nexus 7 (2012) rooted - I already had TWRP installed and wanted to install Cyanogenmod. I followed your video to the letter and all went well - 100% success. So thank you very much for this informative posting and I'm looking forward to flashing a new ROM on my recently acquired Elephone P7000
Im getting "E:Error executing updater binary in zip". The MD5 checksum is ok. Whats the problem here? Can you help me on this please? PS: I've wiped the phone earlier, i was having a problem, only after that i saw your vídeo about backing up the system. Best regards.
okay so i downgraded to kitkat,rooted my phone..but my recovery menu is not appearing..instead the phone boots simply..i tried adb,quickboot...but i cant get into recovery mod to install cyanogen..help !
I got the problem E: error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard Can anyone help me ? :/ I have the TWRP 2.8.5.0 on my Galaxy Note 4 910F Qualcomm (trltexx)
Was trying to install CM 13 on my device for about 10+ hours now.... Watched this video after rooting, unlocking and installing TWRP and the ROM installed beautifully perfectly. Thanks a lot for the help 10/10 video 5 stars.
I ma just posting this comment hoping it will help anyone having issues. I followed MAX up to installation of the ROM and my process failed. However I re-wiped the Dalvik Cache and the installed the gapps, then the kernal and the ROM last and then it installed perfectly, then I rebooted! Thanks MAX!!!! Trinidad loves you!
I know this is kind of late, but lookup Matt's utility. It fixed mine after months of not knowing how to fix it, and because there wasnt any battery left, I also needed a factory cable so that I could transfer data from my PC to the phone while also supplying power. Hope it helps.
Thank you for posting it. Great video, worked first time. After 3 months of frustration I installed HTC Sense on my M8 instead of clean android, which was on it. Custom ROM in the nick of time!!! Takes 25 min to back up files and boot new ROM but worth it!
*****Thanks for this tutorial. But I want to ask a few things on the GApps. What happen if I boot the CM for the first time without installing the GApps first? Can you recommend which GApps version is good for people who don't really like much bloatware but still need some of the important ones (average bloatware maybe like google map etc.)?
Persie Wan It is possible to use CM without Gapps. You wont have the Google setup at the wizard. Although you can still install it after the setup wizard albeit you just need set it up manually. And just search for nano Gapps or micro Gapps if you only want like the Play Store and gmail for example.
The GAPPS is not completely necessary, and you can boot for the first time in your custom ROM without GAPPS. The only problem is that the Play Store and other Google Apps like Chrome will not be installed, but if you have the GAPPS zip file you can install it from TWRP recovery later. But you should just install it with your custom ROM. Unfortunately for copyright reasons, custom ROMs are not allowed to package GAPPS with them anymore, so this step is a must if you need those things.
+Igor Fernando If you are like me who rarely listens to people advices, just go on and start the system without it, it wont hurt your phone at all. After that you can decide whether you want the GApps or not ^^
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've gone through countless youtube videos that could not help me install the CM12.1 onto my OPO and finally I found one to help me. Thank you so so much
Thanks a lot Max, I saw this video several times since the past week and have now been able to successfully install the lineage OS 14.1 for my 4 year old S4 mini dual sim Indian variant through Odin and TWRP recovery. Your video has really helped me very much to refresh my phone despite being 4 year old. This was my first ever flashing and your video has been really very helpful. Thank you very much!! :)
Outstanding job on all your vids! I just installed a custom recovery(TWRP), backed up and installed a custom rom(Pure Nexus) on my Nexus 6 watching your videos! Your the man Max!!!
+mrbluboy44 Would you mind sharing how you updated TWRP? All I did was install the app from Google Play Store and never really thought about "updating" it. Is there more to it than that?
I always get failed when I try to install Roms from TWRP. Dunno why. as soon as I press install it comes up with fail every time.Any ideas. I'm on 5.0.2 ATM Stock so no custom roms as yet. cheers people
thanks Max, I followed this method and sure enough I have cm 13 running on my nexus 6p and 9. love your tutorials;they are so informative. anyways thanks
Thanks Max, a very informative video. It solved the issues I was having with services not running properly, I didn't clear the system before the rom install. Now I'm a proud owner of a HTC Desire 601 running CM12
Hey max im back, doubt you remember me but i used to have a galaxy note 1 and you helped me tons with the rooting and al that :D now i got a note 2 (new) for $0.00 so i am back :D i love the note 4 but its $$$. just wanted to thank you for all the hard work u put into this! Stay Hiiiiiiigh :D
Thank you soooo much Dear Max!! You saved my life. Successfully Flashed CM12.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 following all your steps. God bless you bro. You're a real life saver. Keep up the good work. Cheers :)

Thank you very much! My first try without this video i got stuck in a boot loop and had to use nexus root toolkit to fix it and with this video i got it right the first try very helpful will def show friends who need the help
Thank you, this was a great video. I like the way you explain things. I didn't wipe my system at first and got an error message installing CM13 on my LG G3. Now it worked fine!
does thi s method require root permi ssion ? i have sam sung galAxy y gt s5360 so custom rom will support my device? and from shoul d i doWnloAd those file safety purpose?
Hey Max, your video is awesome as always! I never used TWRP recovery methods before until I came across your video. Thanks to your video I finally got my note 2 to work properly with the new Lollipop 5.1 CyanideL. Stay high on Android my friend!
Great video, thank you very much, good illustration, clear pronunciation unlike some other presenters, I will try this with my old Asus TF700T Infinity tablet.
i was getting error that when trying flash cyaogenmod 13 on htc m8 that the .zip did not match system (sorry forgot error msg". I was doing a basic factory reset, but when i followed ur instructions and did advanced and flashed it worked perfectly. was researching this for hours, and lucked upon ur video.. thank you so much for taking the time to upload this video !!!! :)
Thank you for your clear walkthrough on this! I was able to successfully root a Samsung Galaxy S4 to Android 6.0. Only part I needed to modify was using Open GApps Gui for selecting what Google Apps to include.
The TWRP Coordinator can't downlaod the TWRP Utilities. I even had issues in downloading the Coordinator from the PlayStore... no idea what's going on. i'm on the 4th or 5th attempt to get the TWRP Utilities and I keep gettingthe message 'Unfortunately, TWRP Coordinator has stopped.' It's kind of frustrating.
Thank you so much mann! Well done, very informative and helpful, you helped to get my first custom rom onto my Note 4 SM-N910C, which is resurrection remix! So thank you so much man and keep up the good work!
Heres my problem I have around 6 note 4's (N910G) 2 of them are rooted and running Astra Dream UX Other 3 straight up refuse to boot after installing ANY custom roms (It just loops indefinitely.) I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. they are all identical.
I did not even have much experience with installing custom rom and installing custom recovery but I did it. Installed TWRP with fastboot. The phone is now running on CM13
One thing I believe you mentioned, but did not do in the video but bears repeating for everyone's benefit. With TWRP, before flashing anything, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP. If something goes wrong but you can still boot recovery, it will be a lifesaver.
Thank you so much for this guide! While I was following instructions from CyanogenMod, supplementing your video made things very clear and simple. Thanks again.
have you ever had an issue where you WIPE everything but internal storage, flash Rom/Gapps and when you connect it to Windows, Windows Explorer can only see the Android and DCIM folders (although MTP is enabled). The CM file manager shows all the files, but Windows Explorer doesn't. Does TWRP mess the owner/permissions of internal storage? (on OnePlus One (aka bacon) and TWRP 2.8.7.0) on Philz Touch on bacon, I never have this issue.
For everybody who doesn't have a computer or usb make a back up file on dropbox and if your files get deleted just put the backup file that you made on dropbox back into your phone
On my Asus tf101G tablet, I have CWM and a flashed 4.4.4 katkiss from XDA by timduru. The tablet is always restarting by itself. Also, the 3g does not work. Should I uninstall CWM and use TWRP to flash CM 12?
Max...my huawei went into boot loop,i accidentally deleted all files since it had malware. I've tried the hard reset,installing a custom rom and the original firmware but nothing words. Installations abort!! please help
same thing happen to me on my htc 10. I deleted the OS, Sense UI and I think the kernel as well because I noobed when following a tutorial. Luckily I found a pure stock android OS + kernel rom on xda. I really want to flash a stock recovery. can someone please link me for a factory firmware restore? I live in Australia and is on a vodafone carrier. I bought my device from a retailer. i went to the official HTC website put in my specs but there was nothing that suited my situation. THANKS! on another note. MAX YOURE AMAZING! Keep up your good stuff. subbed!
So Rom is the operating sys. like windows.. on PCs right? I have done a few factory hard reset on my zte phone. Will this process erase that factory file used on hard reset? I would always want to keep that file along with my own restore point files. Also is there a truly alternative operating sys. for your phone.. like lunux for PCs? I just hate how the screen background and icons look on the new phones.. looks like child's drawing, with pastel color crayons.
Help, my ASUS Zenfone Selfie got bricked. I unintentionally wiped everything including the OS. I installed Cyanogenmod 13 but when I reboot my phone normally (just holding power button) it goes into fastboot mode by itself.
I have a question my phone is not rooted but when i flashed Google Play Edition on my s4 it went to the screen you have at 10:00 but then after a few seconds it reboots and goes into recovery(i can put original firmware back) but how do i install my rom
So I just flashed my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 gt-n5210, to 5.1.1 CyanogenMod unification. That part works fine, but the gapps for the 5.1.1 keep failing time and time again. And the supersu 2.45 also fail to load properly. I'm in need of help.
can anyone help. i have a HTC ONE M8 freezin on entering recovery...... when the phone boots it tells me dialer has stopped and continues as long as the phone is on. so i did factory reset. still same problem dialer has stopped theres no making it go away so i rooted the phone still nothing..... i want a new rom to see if it might solve the problem and cant get any recovery to load.... GRRRRRRR CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP??? i have been fighting with this phone for days now!!!!!!!!!!
'Unable to mount storage' means you havent mounted the partition Its not a 'bug' and it wont 'work just fine'... In the main menu, you need to choose to mount the partitions you wish to wipe using the 'mount' button PRIOR to wiping.
I have galaxy s4 GT i9505 SHV E300K running 5.0.1 . I tried to root it with kingroot but it stucks on boot loop and show samsung logo and don't turn on. i tried to install TWRP but it seems not appropriate...what to do/
I honestly have no idea whats going on with my LG G3 Ls990. Used stump to root it, flashed TWRP, used to wipe everything as you said, installed the cm12.1 and Gapps, and everytime it finishes and I reboot it flashes the logo and then it just stays black. This makes me have to take the the battery out because recovery/download mode etc does not boot, period. I can get them to boot once I pull the battery but it never boots cyanogen. I've followed 2 guides on how to do it and neither worked. Quite confusing :/
can anyone help me, I am using CMW and I'm trying to install a custom rom. I checked that the files are working fine and stuff but after i flash the roms I will always get bootloops. Ive tried factory resetting it and wiping the cache and stuff but its still the same. I'm gonna try with TWRP right now I hope it works
I've gote TWRP installed, it doesn't allow me to backup anything. I hit backup and try to store it on my SD Card, it auto reboots after a while and no files are present. Is it possible for me to wipe the System in preparation for the ROM? And then if things go sideway is it possible for me to use odin to install my stock OS again? I have downloaded an image of my stock OS from the samsung site, please let me know if this will work. I'm on Kit Kat currently and it's very annoying to deal with all the issues i'm facing currently.
when i tried to install the ROM, it gave me an error message say no MD5 file found and fail to install the ROM. It returns to the bootloop...Help please :(
mine's lenovo a6000, i already put the recovery.img and at first it worked but when i try going to the twrp mode it wont... i tried reinstalling but it's always stock at the Lenovo sign.
Hey, I just installed CM11 on my international HTC One X (endeavoru). All went well until I rebooted the system for the first time directly after installing CM11 and the GApps. It is now stuck in the cyanogenmod loading animation for already 40 minutes. Should I now just power off the device and start it again?
I flashed twrp recovery then did backup of Lenovo stock rom, wiped dalvik cache, cache, system, data then tried to install cm 11 for Lenovo a6000 but it showed an error message "error executing updater binary in zip
***** hey why does my galaxy s4 go into manual mode in recovery? I already have TWRP and used that to reboot into recovery. And it also says "No command" then "Error" What should I do?
I also have no battery and I don't think plugging a usb cord will charge my phone since its bricked now, it keeps charging on and off with frp lock, please help me
ok i have tried installing cm12.1 nightly with all recoveries on my lg optimus g e975.. i am unable to install it on my phone.. twrp gives error this package is for device : e975 , this device is geeb.

I was going to install cm13 via TWRP on my G3 s d722. First i deleted system, dalvik, cache and data. Then i was going to install cm13 but it said that zip installation failed Then i went to reboot and tried to install my backup. It was going well and installation was complete but when i try to turn on my phone it stuck on lg logo, so bootloop. I can eneter TWRP recovery and i can connect to PC so i tried to install some other roms but no success. Plesa help guys, every advice will be appreciated.

Thank you for posting it. Great video, worked first time. After 3 months of frustration I installed HTC Sense on my M8 instead of clean android, which was on it. Custom ROM in the nick of time!!! Takes 25 min to back up files and boot new ROM but worth it!
Is really necessary the gapps file?
*****Thanks for this tutorial. But I want to ask a few things on the GApps. What happen if I boot the CM for the first time without installing the GApps first? Can you recommend which GApps version is good for people who don't really like much bloatware but still need some of the important ones (average bloatware maybe like google map etc.)?

So Rom is the operating sys. like windows.. on PCs right? I have done a few factory hard reset on my zte phone. Will this process erase that factory file used on hard reset? I would always want to keep that file along with my own restore point files. Also is there a truly alternative operating sys. for your phone.. like lunux for PCs? I just hate how the screen background and icons look on the new phones.. looks like child's drawing, with pastel color crayons.

Help, my ASUS Zenfone Selfie got bricked. I unintentionally wiped everything including the OS. I installed Cyanogenmod 13 but when I reboot my phone normally (just holding power button) it goes into fastboot mode by itself.
i thought my device got bricked but when i read a comment, it made me relieved

i have been fighting with this phone for days now!!!!!!!!!!
'Unable to mount storage' means you havent mounted the partition
Its not a 'bug' and it wont 'work just fine'...
In the main menu, you need to choose to mount the partitions you wish to wipe using the 'mount' button PRIOR to wiping.
I have galaxy s4 GT i9505 SHV E300K running 5.0.1 . I tried to root it with kingroot but it stucks on boot loop and show samsung logo and don't turn on. i tried to install TWRP but it seems not appropriate...what to do/
I honestly have no idea whats going on with my LG G3 Ls990. Used stump to root it, flashed TWRP, used to wipe everything as you said, installed the cm12.1 and Gapps, and everytime it finishes and I reboot it flashes the logo and then it just stays black. This makes me have to take the the battery out because recovery/download mode etc does not boot, period. I can get them to boot once I pull the battery but it never boots cyanogen. I've followed 2 guides on how to do it and neither worked. Quite confusing :/
can anyone help me, I am using CMW and I'm trying to install a custom rom. I checked that the files are working fine and stuff but after i flash the roms I will always get bootloops. Ive tried factory resetting it and wiping the cache and stuff but its still the same.
I'm gonna try with TWRP right now I hope it works
Hey man great video. I always run into your videos when Im troubleshooting. so wipe it all including the screen. got it
I've gote TWRP installed, it doesn't allow me to backup anything. I hit backup and try to store it on my SD Card, it auto reboots after a while and no files are present. Is it possible for me to wipe the System in preparation for the ROM? And then if things go sideway is it possible for me to use odin to install my stock OS again?
I have downloaded an image of my stock OS from the samsung site, please let me know if this will work. I'm on Kit Kat currently and it's very annoying to deal with all the issues i'm facing currently.
when i tried to install the ROM, it gave me an error message say no MD5 file found and fail to install the ROM. It returns to the bootloop...Help please :(

Hey, I just installed CM11 on my international HTC One X (endeavoru). All went well until I rebooted the system for the first time directly after installing CM11 and the GApps. It is now stuck in the cyanogenmod loading animation for already 40 minutes. Should I now just power off the device and start it again?
Fantastic, CM12 in my S5 working like a charm! Thank You!
