Actually this is the wrong thread for CM13 installation steps.

Nevertheless, a short guide where you will not need Odin/heimdal at all. (no yellow triangle will appear)

1. get all the files needed in the following steps and place them on your external sd card

2. Install this Philz recovery from stock recovery.

It is a terporary recovery, so if you do restart without having made any changes, you will be back to stock recovery.

3. From within Philz try this to backup your /efs folder (if a backup does not already exist) Philz is the temporary CWM mentioned in the linked post.

4. After that flash this TWRP and restart to recovery

5. use https://github.com/Lanchon/REPIT to increase system and data partition. Choose a file name like this: lanchon-repit-XXXXXXXX-system=1+wipe-data=4+wipe-sdcard=max-preload=min+wipe-i9100.zip (all data on internal sd card remain, but your app data will be lost)

You can use data=6 if you want even more sace form apps. But you can always reuse this script later if you run out of space.

6. Flash Cm13 + GApps (optional) (6.0 ARM pico) (you may use larger one than pico, but for full you will need to change system partition to 1.5)

7. Flash TWRP IsoRec 2.8.7.0

8 reboot, wait ~20min and CM13 should run

PIT files don't match

Hello,

I'm new here. I have a problem with the PIT-File. I'd be much obliged if someone could help me.

I have installed Cyanogenmod 13 on my Galaxy S 2 (i9100). I wanted to install the Open Gapps but this does not work with Cyanogenmod Recovery. I always get an error message which says that I should use TWRP instead of Cyanogenmod Recovery. I followed the steps described here by the user "arnab" but I have a problem with the PIT-File. I always get the following text from Heimdall (v 1. 4. 0):

Heimdall v1.4.0

Should I follow these steps? If so, what do I have to type instead of zImage in the command heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot

Many thanks in advance!

Anyone tried TWRP 3.0.0.0 with CM 11?

Just curious since I heard it doesn't work on CM 12.1.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cpu_computer_freak:
Many thanks for the quick answer. I have tried Odin and all went well. Now I have Cyanogenmod 13 with TWRP Recovery :good:

I have one question left: when I install a new CM13 Nightly with the Cyanogenmod Updater, does the new Nightly overwrite the Recovery so that I have Cyanogenmod Recovery again?

Kind regards

[Galaxy S II Android Development] aceclift:
not if you have used the isolated recovery then it wont be overwritten with cyanogenmods bad one

Searched for a recent TWRP for d710. Could this work on a d710 running CM11 and IsoRec kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lanchon:
it might work. (not the keys of course but who cares.) the script in the zipfile won't let you flash, but you just have to remove the assert.

do tell us how it goes!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bamtan2:
1. Can you explain this part? I understand that you could choose any size pit from http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162 and check repartition to change to that. But why use the 4GB data pit on a default device without selecting repartition?

2. If you wrote these instructions again for unmodified Samsung devices, would you say to flash the ROM from Heimdall at the same time as the recovery, or reboot to recovery and push the ROM and flash from recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
Not sure what you are trying to say, but we use heimdall because it can flash any file on any partition. For heimdall to work, you need to load the existing pit you use or mine one from OP to let heimdall know the partition mapping. Odin does this by name like recovery.img for /recovery and zimage for kernel. factoryfs for system. But since we cant use .img as there is no valid decompressor for sparse images like .img in busybox, we have to use the .lzo compressed images. So in short, the pit is needed to manually show the /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 or /recovery partition. Repartition is not needed as we are only letting heimdall know the device partition layout. But if you are coming from stock 512mb system pit, you will need to select the repartition checkbox as cm-13.0 needs 1gb system partition.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
OP updated with seperate downloads for lzo image and zip flashable download.

No, you must use isorec compatible kernel (cm13, and dorimanx kernel supported) i recommend you to switch on slimsaber 4.4.4 and dorimanx kernel if you don't like current lp and mm roms.

Flash dorimanx kernel=>twrp 3=>reboot recovery=> wipe system, data, cache&dalvik => flash slimsaber and gapps!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forboding Angel:
So I have a Nexus 6 stock room rooted (Systemless root). I have been a cm user ever since my Evo supersonic. I am unfamiliar with the correct way to apply the OTA that came out recently.

I have read that all that is needed is to flash system.img from the new archive. Is this true? Keep in mind I want to update without wiping my apps and data. I have been asking myself if I can give up phone-wide adblocking, and I'm going to give it a shot. The reason I've been asking this is because as I understand it, updating will remove twrp. This I don't really understand... Why would flashing system wipe recovery? Aren't they in different partitions?

I have done a lot of searching over a stupidly long period of time and have not found satisfactory answers.

Can I simply :

fastboot flash system system.img

or is there more to it than that?

Could someone please lay it all out for me?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forboding Angel:
And yes I did see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/easily-apply-ota-update-to-rooted-nexus-t3204018

And this one as well: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/using-image-to-update-nexus-6-data-loss-t3053158

There are unanswered questions with both.

On the first link, why the hell would I erase the system partition? Wouldn't that be like doing a factory reset???

On the second one, why the hell would I flash the bootloader? Would it have changed from version to version and why would it matter if it had?

Why do I need anything other than to flash system.img over what is already there and flash the new radio?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
So, erasing system before flashing is not really necessary, but it doesn't hurt, and definitely it's not factory reset. Erasing only makes sure that while flashing erases all files before flashing a partition, you want to be extremely sure.

And no, erasing system is not factory reset. Factory reset is erasing the data partition where the application data is stored, even for the system and private system apps. Actually TWRP only deletes the /data/data folder and some Android folders and leaves your other files safe when performing "factory reset".

You might need the boot.img, because it contains the kernel itself, so as these updated are security updates, it's probable they have patched some security hole in the kernel itself.

Finally the radio might have changed, but it usually doesn't. In fact AFAIK it hasn't changed since after the M previews, and the bootloader is the same as in the M previews. But if you don't have the previous factory images to do quick file diffs, it won't hurt to update them anyway.

So you need to flash boot and system, the re-flash SuperSu, and that"s that. If you want to make sure you won't have some system apps FC-ing in TWRP delete cache and dalvik. And if it'S TWRP prior to 3.0 don't let it modify your system partition.

And that's that.

No, no sound or screen rotation. No sound on any version of Android based on Android-x86 (I've been playing around a lot the last week with different builds), and the with the versions where screen rotation works it's buggy. Hopefully now that Remix has infused vigor into the Android-x86 community the issue will be solved soon in a future build.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] Autolukullus:
I have a Samsung Wave S8500 (running Bada 2.0), which I hadn't used in a couple of years. Now I am selling it, and for security purposes I reset it to factory settings, to erase all data. The thing is, personal information, contacts, old chats etc. on Samsung ChatON persists after factory reset! :D

I don't even know how on earth this is possible, but I have no way of either manually removing them or deleting the app (because it's a default app).

I could really need some help, in any shape or form.

I thought to try and reflash the phone, but I can't through Kies because it, frustratingly, says that the latest firmware is already there.

I thought to try and install a new firmware with Odin, but for the life of me, everything fails (I can't find a working rom - sammobile .zip files seem to be corrupt, I tried 4 different ones, and others report similar issues)

I googled trying to find a way to "get into the system" and just delete the @$#!:mad: ChatON app, but I can't (some mention a program called Trix), but I can't understand how to use it.

Any help at all? Thanks in advance! :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
First : Odin is for android devices and Wave is NOT an android device

Second : you can use multiloader to reflash your Wave or you can use emergency firmware recovery through kies

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Autolukullus:
Thanks for the input. Kies, as I mentioned, does not allow me to use emergency firmware recovery, because the latest firmware is already there.

I also tried multiloader, but I can't find the roms anywhere. The sammobile .zips are corrupted. If you (or anyone else) is aware of another repository of roms, I'd appreciate it
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
As i recall....the emergency firmware recovery can be started from kies without even connecting the phone to the usb

You have to enter phone serial number and model then kies will instruct you to press key combo to start download mode
