THE GUIDE ​

First Read the First Post Here - [DEVS ONLY][BCM21553 series] CyanogenMod 11 for BCM21553 Development Discussion THEN COME BACK

I Tried to sum up all the issues faced by all of us and thanks to every single person for helping (I Have copied and pasted some of your posts here so that it helps everyone)

Some Important Links

ROM : Download

Recovery ZIP : Download

Recovery.tar.md5 : Download

Gapps : Download

If you want to install cm11 From a stock based rom

METHOD 1 -

The easiest way is

1) download the recovery.tar.md5

2) Open odin and then select recovery.tar.md5 in pda

3) Go to download mode in your phone

4) Flash it then you will get cwm6

5) Perform a data wipe - this is mandatory if upgrading from an older Android revision

6) Flash the OTA package and reboot to bootloader

METHOD 2 -

1) Goto cwm 5

2) mount system

3) flash buildprop fix - Download

4)reboot to recovery

5) mount system

6) flash the cm11 kernel Download

7) reboot to recovery

8) format system data cache

9) mount system data cache

10) flash the cm11 rom zip

restart

NOTE - flashing this build prop will render your current rom unbootable - but since you are formatting system data cache then only way to revert to your old rom would be to restore your nandroid backup or reflash the rom or restore via odin - Remember to flash the kernel you was on previously to restore any backups

METHOD 3 -

1) Flash CM 7

2) Then flash the Recovery.zip

3) Go to advanced and reboot recovery

4) Perform a data wipe - this is mandatory if upgrading from an older Android revision

5) Flash the OTA package and reboot to bootloader

If You are in an ext4 based rom (CM 7 mostly)

1) Then flash the recovery zip

2) Go to advanced and reboot recovery

3) Perform a data wipe - this is mandatory if upgrading from an older Android revision

4) Flash the OTA package and reboot to bootloader

Current issues

1) Audio - microphone volume might be little low in calls

2) Camera - Not Working/Not Present

3) USB & WiFi Tethering - not working

4) OMX codecs (for accelerated audio/video)

Some of the common issues reported (SOLUTIONS)

1) While installing CWM6, showing error as:

"This package is for 'totoro' ; Your device is GT-S5360" (Status 7)

Installation aborted..., why do I get it ? And solution

ANS - Follow one of the first two methods

Or this

its because of your current build.prop

stock build prop = gt-s5360

cm build prop = totoro

your build prop must say totoro else you will get status 7

if you are on stock currently

goto cwm 5

mount system

flash buildprop fix - here

reboot to recovery

mount system

flash the cm11 kernel here

reboot to recovery

format system data cache

mount system data cache

flash the cm11 rom zip

restart

2) Dont Have access to odin but i have flashed the cm11 rom and want to go back now

ANS - Those who dont have access to PC/Odin, Please don't flash these builds cause its difficult to revert back.

But if you have already flashed and want to go to stock based rom, flash bieltv's kernel and flash CM7 Rom. But if you want stock based ROM, "flash CM7 rom on biel's kernel" (COMPULSORY). Then flash Hell's fusion kernel (You know how). Now, you can flash stock based ROM.

3) When i flash the Gapps, layout are overlapped so we can't skip the step when he ask for a language.

ANS - Dont not flash after the first boot, you should reboot it again then flash the gapps

4) Have an issue with Google accounts. I can't add an account, it says "Problem communication with google servers

ANS - Even i had same issue, but follow the instruction below it might help

Alternate Sol - mount system and data and do not wipe data and cache

5) in future I don't need to download the full rom ever?? all the fixes will be done from ota???

ANS - To perform an OTA update:

1. Navigate to Settings -> About phone -> CyanogenMod updates.

2. Ensure that Release or Development channel is selected for Update Types.

3. Press the refresh icon to refresh the list of available builds, choose the desired update, then follow the on-screen prompts.

4. The updater will automatically choose the most appropriate update package (delta package if it is available for your current ROM, otherwise it will choose a full OTA package).

Delta updates are smaller and more efficient:

1. Reduced wear on internal flash memory. Formatting and re installing the system partition is no longer needed; only the changed files are patched to the latest version directly on your device.

2. Smaller download. Delta updates contain only the changed data needed to patch files to the latest version, resulting in much smaller packages.

All recoveries can flash the new update automatically.

if you have flashed the 1st full ota - then you can download the delta updates or download the next full ota and flash manually

The full ota is the complete rom zip

6) Cant Mount System in cwm6

ANS - Dont forget you will have mount errors if you are not on ext4 - you need to flash the kernel then format everything

so if you are flashing the tempory cwm zip only - flash the rom zip - then rebot to recovery (you will now have the kernel installed) format system data cache mount system data cache and flash the rom zip again

7) How did I go back to pervious menu in the cwm6 recovery ??

ANS - the capacitive touch buttons work in the cwm6 so you can use the back button

8) Why the statusbar isn't transparent ? And how do I change it

ANS - Because it is something like running little low graphics for better performance

This how you change it

change in build.prop

ro.config.low_ram=true

to

ro.config.low_ram=false

9) Not able to Boot or in a Boot loop

ANS - Update your baseband to the latest one

How to Flash Gapps

follow this (And Install gapps from the link given above only or download mini-gapps) :

1 : Flash CM11 and reboot without flash Gapps.

2 : Set up your phone, explore it, have fun.

3 : Come back in recovery and then mount system and Data, Flash Gapps.

4 : Now you see, no more overlapped SetupWizard.apk and you have the Play Store.
