Cyanogenmod install help - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I installed cyanogenmod following this guide off the wiki: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_z3c and I'm able to reach Cyanogen recovery, but when the guide tells me to install my update packages, I've got no clue where to find these and a reboot results in a bootloop. Could someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I tried using Cm before for Z3C. I installed it, coming from a Stock ROM using TWRP. I'm personally not a fan of the CM Recovery as it has Zip Signature Verification turned on permanently so its a real pain. I suggest you install coming from stock using twrp rather than attempting for a dirty flash ( installing custom rom over another custom rom )
Good luck!

[Q] Changing custom ROM to another

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

Nice to see some other fin's
You are on 2.2 stock rom right?
(You may skip this if you've already done)
First, root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

Why Clockworkmod?

Hi All,
Iv been looking at These instructions for flashing the latest Cyanogenmod, and it says to install clockwork mod app.
why cant I do the install by just rebooting into recovery mode on the phone? Is there something special Cyanogen mod does?
Thanks
I was stupid, sorry
stupid he is asking why to install cwm app
@bugs78
hi there is no need to install app just boot to recovery then do wipe - flash - wipe

Clockwork mod recovery is a special android recovery that is made esp. for cyanogenmod and rom manager app. This recovery is able to handle flashing of roms, create backup and restore and do many other advance things, which are not possible to do via stock recovery.
If you don't have problem falshing cm7 then, why are thinking too much about installing CWM recovery? I suggest you give it a try and I guarantee that you'll love both clockwork mod recovery and cm7 custom rom. Good Luck! with the flashing.
P.S. DOn't use ROM MAnager with Galaxy Mini.
Thanx guys for the stupid newb questions!!
I successfully rooted my phone no problem at all, while I was on a role I decided to have a go at installing ClockworkMod, following These instructions I downloaded all files ran odin and booted my phone to download mode I connected it, and odin found the phone, so I pressed start and it didnt appear to do anything. The phone didnt reboot and I got no status messages. I followed them exactly.
I might try again tommorow on another PC.
anyone else experienced this?

Maybe the title was misleading as Why Clockworkmod?
Maybe that's why he replied about stock and custom recovery.
But the content in the post was clear, as the OP said about why the CWM app needed for installing ROMs, but the Thread title should be clear enough though, as it should be more like Why Clockworkmod app?
yes thats exactly what I meant coolsandie, and noted I could have worded the thread better. its been a while since iv done the whole forum thing. but, thanx for the tips guys

[Q] Clockwork Recovery installation

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to install CWR on my samsung GT-i9000 all day but the result is my phone doesnt boot anymore.
I can boot to download mode so that at least positive
I've tried to follow the guide i've linked below but the problem is I cant download the rom he refers to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
I installed the CWR from his guide but I cant start into recovery to install a ROM
All the ROMS is see in development are zip files (and i need recovery for this i think) and there are not TAR files
I hope some1 can put me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Jesse

Thanks a lot fazbarulho!
I opened the file and see there is also a recovery option.
I assume I have to flash the rom first with odin and use the following files:
s1_odin_20100512.pit
CSC_JW4.tar
PDA_JW4.tar
PHONE_JW4.tar
And after that reboot and flash using:
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS
Is this correct?
EDIT: I can confirm that this method works for other people who want to install CWR.
fazbarulho really nice from you to help me, thanks again!

Jesse

Maybe what happened to you is that you had flashed a custom recovery, but then in the next reboot the stock recovery was automatically re-flashed.
Try to install custom recovery by Terminal Emulator, then reboot to recovery right after you flashed using command code. I believe you can search for this inside our Atrix HD forum sector.
If you can boot to CWM recovery, there will be a CWM icon instead of an Android bot with its belly opened as in Stock recovery.
Good luck.
Done
Ok thanks too much!! just need instal the Recovery, after that the installation of CM run and installation finished as normal!! there is a new version of CM 10.1 stable, it was what I flash it!!

Can't install TWRP on my Galaxy S2 I9100. Tried Everything

Hi guys, my name is Ali Reza. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII I9100. When I first got this phone, I rooted it and wanted to flash a custom recovery to flash ROMs, but I couldn't. I tried everything.
1) Flashable Zip File
2) Odin
3) Flashify and other apps
4) Heimdall Suite
But nothing worked for me
I managed to install CWM Touch Recovery using the kernel for Android 5.1.1 but I can only flash ROMs whose android version is 5.1.1. I want to flash Android 7.1 that is the Lineage OS on my device. For that I require TWRP recovery. I searched for this on all websites. Some say that before flashing TWRP recovery I require TWRP kernel. I searched for the kernel but couldn't find it. Some say that before flashing the latest version, we need to flash the old version, and using that recovery we have to update TWRP to the latest version. I tried that but I failed. Plz help me install TWRP on my device or plz provide me the kernel for android 7.1.1. Thank You

Have you tried unchecking the "reboot" option in odin when flashing twrp and then manually power off and boot directly to recovery with 3 buttons combo? Make sure you boot first to twrp rather than android. Tell if it worked
Thanks for ur help guys... but I discovered a method to install TWRP. I flashed the diya kernel recovery in download mode instead of philz... And then I followed all the steps... thanks

Hi Aly
I am having exactly the same problem you outlined above ...... What was the answer you worked out? What is a "Diya kernel .... instead of philz" .... Help, still confused?
Hi, can you tell me where I can find this diya kernel (googled it... in vain) since I'm also struggling to update my i9100 from 4.1.2 to Lineage 7.1 ? Much appreciated
