[General Questions and Answers] Dellocatus:
Thanks. Unfortunately, I do not get an answer in the device forum. I updated the recovery via flashify. There is also an unofficial TWRP recovery built for my device on xda, maybe I could give that a try... It's based on the same official TWRP I'm currently running, so rather not get hopes too high.

Do I understand correctly that a recovery with older version number could not be able to do backups properly, yes? What about recovering backups made with a newer version? Because I fear that even if the older version runs fine, it would still be a risky to flash anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have, for example, TWRP 3.0.2-0, I mean for you to try version 3.0.1-0 or 3.0.0-0.

It will create backups and flash just fine.

I want to port cm12.1 to the Doogee f5. Where do i have to begin? Wich port and base rom do i have to use?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Find a device that has the same hardware as your device(including CPU/chipset, screen resolution, RAM, same internal sdcard size, camera, GPS, etc..)

Then do a search for XDA University, it will have information to get you started understanding what porting is. Then find the stock firmware or the custom ROMs for the similar device you found and start porting.

It won't be easy and you won't find everything you need to know in one guide, you'll have to work out the details by trial and error.

Hey guys! Remenber me..the half root issue which you guys suggested to reflash the stock rom. Well I did so. Now my device is fully unrooted but umm......

There is another problem which still persists though after the flashing process which is that the Google Play Services app get crash again and again and AGAIN. It shows that 'unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped'. And it consistently pops up. Anything related to Google is not working as its showing the error that Google is not working properly. What to do now?

Well if that's the closest you can find go for it..

Edit: finding a device with same specs is good but you need to download a complete version of the firmware!

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

More details, how did you flash it, where the firmware unaltered? Does Google services crashes right after boot, did you do any changes?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Boot to stock recovery then factory reset and wipe cache then reboot.

If it is still crashing try to update it, if you can't then try extracting play services from your stock firmware, root the device then push the copy of play services to system then boot to recovery and wipe cache then reboot

If that doesn't work try doing a Google search for the version of play services your device is supposed to have then download that apk with your browser then install it or push it to system then boot to recovery and wipe cache.

How do I get a custom Rom on my zenfone 2e(Z00D) to then get into xposed
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Okay, first of all it's either custom rom or xposed (on a rooted phone) xposed wasn't meant to be used with custom rom but it should be more for phones with NO custom rom available..

That doesn't mean it's impossible run xposed + custom rom but it's not recommended..

1. Find a custom recovery for your exact phone model.

2. Find a way to root your phone.

3. Flash xposed from xda website.

or 4. Find a custom rom for your exact phone model.

You can find all info on goggle and xda or you ask here again.

Custom recovery serves more than a few purposes. The main purposes are to make nandroid backups(similar to restore points in windows) and it flashes custom .zips(ROMs, Gapps, kernels, modems, Xposed framework, etc..)

How to use it depends on which custom recovery you have.
[General Questions and Answers] MarcoIgnacio:
Hello everyone , i asked this somewhere else but I think this is the right place.

I currently flashed Lollipop 5.0.1 from sammobile via Odin on my S4 i9500. Also rooted via Odin and SuperSu is working correctly (the system reboots itself when trying to uninstall something but thats ok for now, i'll get into that later)

The thing is, I cant run STweaks with my current Kernel, so I want to install Perseus to try overclock a little bit , but all I find is for KitKat. Is there a Perseus Kernel running ok for Lollipop?

Also, I would need to install it via Odin wich is what i've been using so far, and Im familiar with.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

The easiest way to correct what you're doing is to make a copy of a working flashable zip that you have used before and are certain flashes with no issues.

Then you extract the copy and delete everything in the zip except for the existing META.inf, then just add whatever you're adding to the zip and then zip everything back up using the highest compression available and it should flash fine.

If you can't get it working via PC compression then try on the device with jrummys root browser, use "best" compression when it asks you which level you want.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

What ROM will you be using?

Perseus Kernel is an old kernel, I don't think it has been updated to work on marshmallow, neither of the threads for it have been posted in since 2015.

It looks like the Nevermore kernel linked below can be used with any AOSP/CM based ROM up to 6.0 and has overclocking plus more features.

[General Questions and Answers] Akatsubaki:
This is actually my very first flashable zip. But I tried your solution once with a working debloat zip from an other xda user and I got the same error. However, I made the zip with the compression method storage not with the highes available, because it was stated to use that method in some guides. Is this information deprecated now or does it just not apply for TWRP?

I will anyway try using the highest compression. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not sure, I know I've always used best compression when packing zips.

BTW, your error is saying your path isn't correct. Are you sure the updater script you're using is scripted to flash your scripts in the correct place?
[General Questions and Answers] Akatsubaki:
Ok, thanks. Now when I am selecting "ultra" as compression strength in 7zip, I get the option to choose between Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA, PPMd as compression method. Which method should I use or is there any program specifically for creating flashable zips?

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
If you want to reflash the complete phone yes, if try to flash only boot and system then it's important that you don't mix jelly bean and kitkat or kitkat and lollipop and so on.. As long as you stay in your Android version you can only flash parts of the firmware like boot & system..

Advantage would be that you not lose your data / media..

Ok, so 3.0.0 was able to mount the cache, it hopefully will work with the data partition as well! Thanks.

You said flashing will be fine - so why is the first point mentionned in the flashing instruction of any rom I come across "updating twrp to the latest version"? Is there any significant difference between 3.0.0 and 3.0.2? Couldn't find lots of info on this.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
None that I know of that would really matter with the current level of ROM development/android versions being flashed at this time. It may or may not flash android N but I doubt its an issue right now.

Recovery has to be updated to keep up with the level of ROM development but in general recovery will flash but if your recovery is too old(I mean several versions old) it won't work for new ROMs. Using the absolute most up to date version is more of a recommendation than a requirement most of the time unless there is a specific reason that a ROM must have at least a certain version or newer.

what do you mean by TWRP? i don´t know what that is

is it a flash tool? it doesn´t matter if it isn´t done with the LG one? and how do i know that this TWRP will be able to recognise my phone
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
TWRP stands for Team Win Recovery Project. It is a type of custom recovery, there have been others but TWRP is the best and most used by the community. It is installed on the device itself, it is not installed on PC and it us not used by connecting the device to PC so your question about your device being recognized was pointless.

Yes, it is a flashing tool and much more. It is used to make backups of a device's operating system and restore them when needed, it also flashes ROMs and various other flashable zips. There are several other purposes it is used for as well.

If you want to update your device with a custom ROM then you'll need a custom recovery such as TWRP but it has to be built specifically for your model number, it being built for your model number is how you know it works with your device. If there is no TWRP or any other type of custom recovery for your model number then you won't be able to use a custom recovery unless you port or build one for your model yourself or you can wait for someone else to get around to making one for your device.

[General Questions and Answers] rishabhkeny:
Yeah everything will work properly provided you install the gapps zip from your recovery which is suitable for your custom ROM. Gapps are the google apps which are needed for your device and your games to work. You can google in order to find a correct one for your rom:good:
[General Questions and Answers] ankitkashyap:
The ROM which i'm seeking to install lists gapps as "included in zip", so this means i won't have to google it? And when i install the ROM from TWRP gapps would be installed atomatically?

Another thing is, are you sure COC and other supercell games would work fine?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
If gapps are included you just have to flash the custom rom zip, the developer has already included a fitting package.. If the game really work can only answer people who tried it, you maybe should ask in the Rom thread for further information..
[General Questions and Answers] ankitkashyap:
Yes, i just wanted the general behavior of always online games on custom ROMS, like do these games run fine, if i sideload them etc.

And one more thing, if i install the said ROM and it is not okay, then i can just simply flash the stock ROM again and it'll be fine with the custom kernel.. yes??
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
You definitely should make a backup via twrp or whatever custom recovery you use, so you can go back to stock/your configuration when you want..

If you install the Rom you kernel will be replaced by the custom rom's kernel.. You can reflash the kernel if it's compatible with the rom, if you flash the stock firmware back the custom kernel is also replaced by the stock one..

And basically every custom rom is different, so No general answer possible..
[General Questions and Answers] rishabhkeny:
If the Gapps is included in the zip then its great. And one more thing if you still have any doubt that coc and boom beach will work then it is better to just backup your previous ROM to your SD card so that if you experience any problems then you can easily restore your previous ROM.
