that should it
"best bet is to flash OOS 12 c.62/63"
that should it
yeah and then only do:
still same error. Changed absolutely nothing
You are making it more difficult than it needs to be. I hate repeating myself but too many people ask questions without reading through the thread. READ!!!!! You don't need to update all the way to a12. Just MSM back to a11 then use the C.63 firmware flasher to install firmware and recovery then you can flash rom in custom recovery. Also you can't use stock recovery to flash custom roms, they will always result in errors. If you still have problems then it's a bad download. Re-download ROM.Anyone have an idea why I'm getting "kDownloadTransferError" when trying to sideload the crDroid.zip)
It happens immediately at 0% progress.
After bringing my phone into a bootloop trying to get from DerpFest to crDroid I recovered my phone with the MSM Tool.
Updated up to Android 12 (I also got an update for C.66 but didn't do that one)
- Unlocked bootloader
- went into fastboot
- followed the guide without the firmware flasher (Thinking I wouldn't need it now)
- tried sideloading the crDroid.zip
- "kDownloadTransferError"
I tried the tool as well but always get the same error.
I'm now recovering with MSM again. Any ideas in which order I should do things now??
I know I don't have to update all the way to Android 12 myself but going from Android 11 didn't work eitherYou are making it more difficult than it needs to be.

msm back to oos11, download oos c.48 full ota here (c.48 is the last full ota, later ones are all incremental), flash the zip in both slots via twrp and from there use the provided c.63 flasher. reboot to recovery, flash the rom and everything should be working. (you can actually use the c.63 flasher directly from oos11, but to be on the safe side, i flashed c.48 in between. worked for me.)
As I previously stated, YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE TO A12!!!!! JUST MSM BACK TO A11 THEN USE THE PROVIDED C.63 FIRMWARE!!!!!msm back to oos11, download oos c.48 full ota here (c.48 is the last full ota, later ones are all incremental), flash the zip in both slots via twrp and from there use the provided c.63 flasher. reboot to recovery, flash the rom and everything should be working.

edit: nvm didn't see that it was caused by the cable sorry
yea i said this too but i had problems by doing so, so i flashed c.48 in between. but i aint forcing nobody to do so, it just worked for meAs I previously stated, YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE TO A12!!!!! JUST MSM BACK TO A11 THEN USE THE PROVIDED C.63 FIRMWARE!!!!!
Same for me!yea i said this too but i had problems by doing so, so i flashed c.48 in between. but i aint forcing nobody to do so, it just worked for me![]()
That didnt work for me, using LE2123...As I previously stated, YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE TO A12!!!!! JUST MSM BACK TO A11 THEN USE THE PROVIDED C.63 FIRMWARE!!!!!
I'm guessing you unlocked the bootloader and booted into fastboot before running the script?That didnt work for me, using LE2123...
Using c.63 flasher right after MSM, bricks my phone.
Script never finish because it waits for fastbootD mode, which phone never boot (black screen).
I have to recover with MSM again.
I did it that way on the first build of a13, but got some bugs. Clean Install eliminated the bugs.Just to be clear... Can you update CrDroid8 to CrDroid9 via the update steps method in post #1? aka dirty flash?
Not the case for me. Works fine.
try running the firmware flasher script from their download page. that should drop you into recovery to sideload the rom.That worked very nice, thank you. I'm back in fastboot.
Now off to figure out what did I screw up...
Thank you for the reply. Since the OP says both OOS 12 and OOS 13 are required (I did read, as you can see), I didn't think it was too far fetched to wonder if they might have intended to allow other firmware versions and didn't account for them when they copied and pasted their announcement from a previous release. I'm taking it that the F.20 isn't available, and I'll consider whether I want to downgrade before using this ROM.
