[TUTORIAL] Flash CyanogenMod on TWRP

Harfainx · Dec 3, 2013

For CM11 Nightlies:

Find nightlies here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=n1

If you're already on CM 10.2, just wipe cache and dalvik. Flash over your current build.

If you're coming from anything else, wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system. Then flash normally.
If you want gapps, you'll have to flash gapps as well.

No need for any modified files on nightlies. I assume that official stable builds will still be defaulted to flash on stock recovery though.

————————————————————————————————

CM 10.2 Information. Please do not use the following to flash CM11!

This is the method that I used to install CyanogenMod on TWRP.

I have tested this, and it is working perfectly on CM builds:
cm-10.2-WPPH47N-n1
cm-10.2-WPPH50O-n1
I will continue to test and update as new CM builds come out until CM flashes normally on TWRP

————————————————

First - Have TWRP as your recovery (2.6.3.1). Don't ask me how to do that.
Second - Backup your ROM! Just in-case something breaks, it's not my fault, and I'm not responsible.

————————————————

Now, we begin:

Download the newest CM build for the Oppo N1 from http://www.cyanogenmod.org/hardware/oppo-n1/#images

————————————————

After downloading your CM build from the above link, you'll need to follow these instructions to get setup for flashing in TWRP.

To modify your downloaded CM file, you can use either of the two methods below:

1: You can modify it yourself. It's actually very simple, just one line change.
2: I have attached an already modified updater-script to my post. You can use that and drop it into place (the file inside the zip, not the whole zip).[/b]

YOU ONLY NEED TO USE ONE OF THESE METHODS!

Method 1: To modify the file yourself:

First, open your CM zip that you have downloaded.
Navigate to the folder: META-INF\com\google\android\
Open the updater-script

Remove the first line only! You will remove:

Code:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "N1" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "N1");

Do not remove anything else unless you know exactly what you're doing!

If you modified the file within the .zip, just save the file and it should save to the CM zip.
If you extracted the .zip, save the file and then go back and rebuild the zip.

Transfer over your newly modified CM.zip file to wherever you can find it on your phone (I drop it straight in the root folder).

——————————

Method 2: To download my pre-modified updater-script

Download my attached file (updater-script.zip)
Extract the file inside the zip (there's only one file)

Open your CM zip that you have downloaded.
Navigate to the folder: META-INF\com\google\android\
Simply copy your extracted updater-script from where you extracted it and drop it into the CM zip (It should save after)

Transfer over your newly modified CM.zip file to wherever you can find it on your phone (I drop it straight in the root folder).

————————————————

Reboot into TWRP:

Advanced Wipe ->
Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. ***DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM***

Then install your modified CM file. Please, remember, DO NOTE WIPE SYSTEM.

Reboot system! Done!

:victory:

I hope this all makes sense...
Basically you download the CM rom
Modify or copy the updater-script into the zip
Then you move the ROM to you phone
Then you go through the above area with wiping and flashing

* Pictures are attached
* Please let me know if there are any problems with this.
* Both versions of CM released so far have identical updater-script files. The .zip that I have attached will work on both builds.
* I will keep updating as needed

We're working on fixing TWRP so the asserts work properly.

https://github.com/omnirom/android_bionic/commit/4482d8513920d614e3799a214c5bad07b72580d2#diff-1 broke a lot of things.

https://github.com/omnirom/android_bionic/commit/ad76c85b9ca587084089d086f954158bc0eae905 allows flashing newer firmwares on older recoveries - but not the other way around.

The short-term fix is a TWRP build made from a 4.3 tree - this is 90% done.

@OP: Working with Entropy last night to squash this bug, I flashed his newly built TWRP and was able to go back to ColorOS or CM without issue. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22964990/n1_twrp_43.img

That's fantastic. I'm glad to hear that it's being work on/working. I suppose fixing TWRP trumps fixing the ROM :highfive:

BTW, I'd prefer that my personal dropbox not be directly linked. The same file is now an attachment to my post in the TWRP thread.

Correct, the very top link in the OP is the full ROM. You can download the full ROM and flash it in TWRP. It's already fixed and ready to go.

So far that has been the only ROM to come out from Oppo for CM. It contains most of the ColorOS features that work. "Knock" to wake (double-tap), screen off gestures, camera orientation, etc. I'm almost positive that the back touch-pad was working. I haven't been on CM in a little bit though. I'm still working on making changes to ColorOS, and updating as I go.

Camera orientation is handled by the camera HAL blobs.

CM does have back touchpad support but it's wonky (which is why omni hasn't merged it yet, we're still discussing whether to completely rearchitect it or just fix it.)

Hi,

Go into SuperSU and remove it in the settings (unroot). That will get rid of all of the current SuperSU stuff.
Then flash SuperSU in TWRP.

To flash the unmodified CM, you can try the TWRP in post #3 of this thread HERE.

Or you'll have to remove the same line in the updater-script. The same method posted in the OP. Don't use the uploaded updater-script that I have there though. You'll need to change your own. It's a really simple fix. You don't have to extract all the files out. You can just modify the one file (I use Notepad++).

Sometime tomorrow I'll update the whole OP to include the newest CM version. I'm about to head out to our New Year's event, so I won't be available for the evening.

Enjoy the evening everyone. I wish you all the best! :good: :victory:

i have installed TWRP from #3 - not succes install CM newest version after this
i have unthick superSU and then install again via TWRP superSU.zip after that thick superSU on system android and no succes - root acces didnt come

happy new year

-------
I am a little dissapointed couse I downloaded CM ROM from OFFICIAL SITE http://www.cyanogenmod.org/hardware/oppo-n1/#images and I cannot install it SIMPLE on my device

Harfainx · Jan 2, 2014

OP updated! The newest release of CM has been added. I'll keep on top of it from now on, sorry about the delay.

I'm not going to host the CM builds anymore, since the modification is so small from the original CM build. Everyone flashing this should be capable of making the small change that's outlined in the OP.

:highfive:

After dropping the file in, just save the zip again. If you haven't extracted it, you shouldn't have to do anything special.

Also, CM can easily be installed on the stock recovery. Oppo doesn't control other recoveries.

Reboot system! Done!

What's wrong with wiping system?
You don't even wipe system if you go from ColorOS to CyanogenMod?
