Nexus 4 Won't Update to CM 11 M9 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I saw CM11 M9 was available and tried to update to it but going through the updater failed. So I downloaded the .zip file and them tried to flash it through recovery. This also failed and it said something like "failed to install... factory reset" or something, can't really remember. So then, I created a backup using ROM Manager and then factory reset the phone. It did update to M9, but then I restored my data and it just went back to M8.
Anybody else having the same issue? Is there a fix to this?
Thanks

It could just be a bad download, check the md5 or redownload it! Let me know if it worked

Hi, just tried again after checking md5 (they were the same). Still didn't work. What it said was, "Can't install on top of incompatible data....check package or reset phone data" and then it said "error in.. (status 7)" and showed the location of the .zip file.

Update your recovery. Or change to twrp. You'll never have errors in twrp Let me know if it works!

I updated CWM through ROM Manager and tried again, didn't work. I also tried updating the script, that led to a Status 6, Installation Aborted.
So I think I will try TWRP now. What would be the best/easiest way to install it over my current CWM recovery?

Installed TWRP. Still won't flash the zip. Said the same thing as before but adds "Error executing updater binary in zip 'LOCATION OF ZIP'
'Error flashing zip 'LOCATION OF ZIP'

Double check that you don't mount system in twrp. If it still doesn't work Go to CMs website and download the rom again, check md5 and flash. Remember : backup.

Deleted all previous downloads. Re-downloaded CM 11 M9 for mako.
Md5: 100% same
System Mount: NOT checked
Data backed up
Install: FAILED
Factory reset the phone.
Update to M9 through the updater: Success
Restore through recovery: Restored but freaking REVERTED BACK TO M8.....whaa??
Am I doing something wrong? There must be somthing on my phone that is not letting it update since it works after a factory reset. Are there any know apps or other things that do that?

Open cyanogenmod update and select stable relasee

Backup using titanium backup and clean flash m9. Or perhaps a cache clean could do it.

cache clean didn't work. I tried Titanium backup but I can't figure out a way to quickly restore all the apps and data. It does it one by one and I have to press install for each one. Is there a easier way to restore? I have the backup files on my computer.

In the TiBu app, go to batch actions>recovery mode>create update.zip. It will create a .zip file with your backups to be flashed from recovery.
Then do a factory reset, reflash your rom, and flash the update.zip to restore your apps.

Unfortunately I don;t have the pro version of Titanium Backup which is required to make a .zip file. I ended up just restoring the apps through google and then restoring the system data from Ti Backup. Not as good as restoring but I got tired of wiping and restoring and flashing. Thanks for the suggestions.
Everytime I opened Titanium Backup, it said my binary might not work reliably with some apps (screenshot attached) So I installed SuperSu and it prompted me to update my binary, to which I said yes and then clicked "Normal". Then it took a few seconds and said installation failed and reboot and try again. After I reboot, the pop-up that says I need to update never shows up again.

Try to clean install m9 and restore only the data from your backup - should work but i'm not sure.
Ignore the popup.

the recovery log is at /tmp, however it deletes when you reboot, so you should
install zip
wait untill it fails
then pull /tmp/recovery.log
(using aroma fm, or adb or whatever you can use)

I restored the system data with TB and my apps were restored automatically so it's pretty much back to normal now. I just have to rearrange my home screen.

Try restoring from adb. Google it, there are many guides.
EDIT - You can try this - Edit the ROM zip to delete files you don't need, flash the zip, then extract the files you changed from the system backup archive and paste in system using ES File Explorer and reboot.
well, in the end i installed from scratch via flashing,
i also tried to restore via adb but it did not recognize the nandroid-mobile.sh restore command.
google revealed that is not possible on cwm based recoverys? as far as i understood (no linux guy) nandroid is just a set of scripts, so i was missing that script?
anyway i could save some time with pulling aps and data via nandroid manager when i had a working system again. still i am a bit unsecure now concerning trying out stuff, fearing that i again would not be able to restore a nandroid backup

[Q] Backups not restoring...

Hi, Been doing nandroid backups religiously of my Stock S4 i9505 - MK8 using both ClockworkMod Recovery and also Online Nandroid Backup Pro as well over last few days...
Anyway, I decided to restore my last backup and that's when the problems started... The restore 'seems' to complete correctly and the phone boots up but immediately but there are lots of pop-up's:
Unfortunately, Google Play service has stopped.
Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped.
Unfortunately, process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Unfortunately, Picasa Uploader has stopped.
Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped. etc,etc
So, I tried some of the other nandroid backups in case that one was corrupt but got the same problem, tried clearing dalvik cache, same result...
Basically for some very strange reason none of the backups result in a stable system..? Any ideas how I get out of this one..?
Appreciated.

ok, wiped all caches plus data/reset and then restored a backup done by CWM I think (unfortunately both types of backups are named using the same naming format, look the same and are in the same folder, yes a mistake)... Anyway re-booted, exactly the same problem.
One thing I did notice this time was that the restores don't complete properly and 'finish early' i.e the screen goes black before it's finished and the phone immediately reboots..?
ITry to make sure you use a nandroid created in cwm. Cwm creates an md5 and checks it so if you use a nandroid not createdby it it'll fail.

Nope mate tried them all now, all the backups have their respective MD5... Also CWM checks the MD5's of each backup before starting the restore anyway...
I guess I'm a bit stuck on the nandroid restore front and all that's left is to flash a clean stock..? or any other ideas..?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, an update - Somehow I managed to restore one of the backups but straight away, whilst still in recovery, cleaned and reset it before starting it up and that worked, it got me back to clean working stock, amazingly.!
So that means I can now start again fresh, this time making sure the backups are not corrupt & work, before I need them..!
Cheers
Hi again,
The problem goes on and I don't understand... After restoring the backup and cleaning cache/data reset all was ok in that it loaded no problems... However I keep getting a notification that Storage Space Running Out (Some system functions may not work)...
If you then go into Storage Settings, it reports Total Space as 9.25GB but available space as 355MB... But there are no files stored there, nothing... I used File Manger as well to try to find the files that are taking up all the space but it too reports that there is nothing there taking up the space...? I'm confused..? and worried that if the 345MB gets used by the system, it will then stop working..??
I have installed Root Explorer and list /sdcard it states that 8.91GB used, 329MB free. I think it is old CWM backups that are stored in the int/sd but are hidden that are causing the problem..? CWM can't see them though... I can't find the files that are taking up the space on the int/SD..??
I have also viewed the int/sd files listed when it is connected to pc in MTP mode and again there are no backup files to delete, nothing...yet it reports 329MB free of 9.22 GB...?
Plus I have noticed some of the files/folders have the '01 Jan 1970' date that CWM put on the backup.. MESS..!
I don't get it, where ever I look (using Root Explorer) there are no large files, where are they hidden..??
Basically I just want to completely clear the phone storage of any user data including CWM data (I'll use the ext sd from now on)... Trouble is I'm not sure what I can and can't delete safely..??
Help as always appreciated...

Now I have deleted those (as I have other CWM backups on the ext/sd) and I have some room to move again but my question is now, can I somehow reset the phone (not ext/sd) and all of it's contents completely back to stock, CWM has messed things up a bit with 1970 folder/file dates all over the place..??

That's the main reason I don't like cwm, too many blob folders to make manually cleaning then up easy.
I don't know the i9505 that well but if there is an odin flashable tar file of your current firmware I'd flash that. Then do a factory reset in the stock recovery. That will return your device to like new. You will lose all your apps and data so backup anything you want to keep before you do this

Check on sammobile.com. you'll have to register but it's free. You'll down load a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin

You have to enable selinux enforcing to make nandroid backups. Philz recovery can do that.

There is already a su file in the backup but that didn't work for me too. You have to delete the su file at /system/xbin/ manually via twrp file manager. If you reboot twrp will ask you to root again.

I found an alternate solution. I flashed the SuperSU zip, and it rooted the phone with no hassle. [emoji2]
I tried to restore it on my xt1052, it keeps saying that No partitions selected for restore. What should I do?
In your TWRP backup directory, there should be a folder with the date (2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15), make sure the image files are in this directory.
When I extracted the rar, it was 2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15\2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15\<image files>
it should be 2015-05-12--16-05-56_LPA23.12-15\<image files>
Can I install this from 4.4.4?
Test it. The proximity sensor also not work for active display.
So I back to 4.4.4 again.

TWRP sayd system not mounted, then rebooted during restore, phone is softbricked

I was bootloader unlocked, latest TWRP installed, systemless root with SuperSU 2.6, cataclysm rom, ex kernel, layers, xposed. I had made a ton of backups and even kept some of them backed up in another locations. I needed to restore a backup in TWRP. At first it wouldn't let me, kept saying that phone system was mounted as read only.
this is my question #1 - How do you mount system for read in TWRP? I see there's an option called "mount," I go in there, i see settings I can select, but I don't see any option to "execute" or "apply" settings (like TWRP has on other screens - swipe to backup, swipe to restore, etc). There's no "clicke here to mount option." what do you do here?
#2 - it finally mounted rw, i think, but after picking my latest backup, it started and then when it got to 19% it reboot the phone. Phone is softbricked.
#3 - I'm very confused about all the checkboxes to restore, and all the checkboxes to wipe.
What should I be wiping and what should I be restoring? When making backups I checked all the boxes.
I had the galaxy nexus before and I knew that phone and clockworck mod inside out. TWRP is confusing and glitchy to me. I'm stuck and work with a phone without an OS and I'm starting to freak out, and don't have A to C cables with me.
Please explain where I went wrong here and how to do things correctly. I want to understand what I'm doing better, not just follow steps.
When you restored, with all the check boxes did you click "system image" for restore?
You should wipe then restore only system, data, and boot.

Yes, I selected all the boxes, including system image I believe.
I did a wipe. I selected all the boxes. Went back into TWRP and now all my backups are gone. I said reboot, and TWRP said there's no OS installed. I think I deleted everything. I should not have wiped. I do have a backup saved on a computer, it's a folder with lots of .img files inside. How can I get that onto my phone with only having fastboot and TWRP modes available? I mean how can I place it on the phone in a way that TWRP would recognize it and restore from it.
I ended up just flashing the stock google image and that at least gave me a working phone back.
Yes. You beat me to it, that's what I was going to say. You have to reflash. Just remember for future references you only need to backup boot, system, and data( and efs etc). But Not "system image" that'll Bork your stuff up.

I'd like to really understand this better. Do you know why system image borks the phone? Also, when you say efs etc., do you mean "absolutely everything except system image"? (I actually didn't see EFS listed there)
Well boot system and data. But you also need efs cause thats your imei. So just look around and familiarize with what youve found so far. Right now Im trying to flash 6.0.1 with a systemless root. Its kinda goin ridiculous right now because there aren't any directions or suggestions.

After it said no OS installed, I tried to restore system image from my TWRP backup, and the restore failed and the phone reboot itself at 19% restored. I had to ADB flash the factory system image from google. This brings me back to the original question.
Why was the restore in TWRP failing?

Please help! MXP stuck on "warning bootloader unlocked"

Hey guys,
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed a recovery succesfully. When I entered into recovery mode, I enter into TWRP, get to install SuperSU, but when I reboot my device, it is stuck on "warning etc..."
What could I have done wrong? How can I fix this? Any help would be very much appreciated.
I have a MXP XT1563
I installed this TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=11587#downloads
And this SuperSU https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
I honestly can't remember what fastboot files I download, but I suppose it was ok since I got to enter my unlocking code and unlock it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards from Mexico
When I enter into TWRP and enter somewhere, for instance Install, I can see my folders: amazon, kindle, whatsapp, etc... I suppose that's good news.
I've tried doing a factory reset from Wipe, no sucess.
Please help! I will be uncommunicated until I solve this
you should have read the forums first. did you take a nandroid before flashing su? of yes then restore that,
you need su 2.62-3
download the su then flash it again. here is the su.forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202

download the su then flash it again. here is the su.forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202

hi bablu048, I did not "nandroid" before flashing su. I did it after I flashed it and when I try to restore it it says it's read only.
Do I download su 2.62-3, copy it into my storage and flash it again, no matter all I've done by now?
when it asks to keep read only refect it select allow modifications,
yes, download that su , copy it to storage and flash.

ok, this is what I did: I downloaded the su, put in internal storage, went into recovery mode, got into twrp, installed new su.
Now it gets past the warning, but gets stuck now in the water-ish motorola logo...
When I go into Restore, I can see two back ups, when I try to restore any of them, it says "cannot restore system - - mounted read only" and no option to modify it.
thanks a lot for your help! I'm trying to follow your every advice as best as I understand it
DO NOT restore the old backup it has the old su you will be back to where you started.
]boot into twrp clear cache/dalvic cache and leave the phone on the watery logo for a few minutes..it takes some time to boot

I see... actually I didnt get to restore any of them. I cleared both caches and now I'm waiting in the watery logo.
In case I don't make it, I'll have to let it for a while like this: on the watery logo, the MXP is quite hot now... no problem if I let it like that for half a day? I'm worried about that
In case it doesn't pass from there... is downloading twrp backups still an option? I just finished downloading RSD lite.

just let it on the watery logo for 15-20 minutes if it's still not going any further you can download the backups and wipe the system, cache, dalvic cache then restore the backup
RSD lite is used to flash the original factory firmware then you have to root again.

I went to sleep and it didn't pass from the watery logo.
I manually backed up my files, so I'm not worried about anything I might have on the phone; still, I think flashing a new firmware will factory reset my MXP correct?
Is the original factory firmware the same as a stock image? I found this list of resources: https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. Under XT1563 - México, I can see my carrier, Iusacell. Will this do it?
Please do let me know.

yes it will wipe,
that's the correct firmware. 6.0.1
always take a nandroid before flashing su 2.62-3
after flashing twrp again when you boot into twrp do "swipe to allow modifications to /system"..you didn't do this that's why you were not able to restore backups.

hi bablu048,
I found in here a "unSu" guide. I ran it, it deleted Su, then ran Su you recommended and I still got suck in the watery logo.
Then I "unSu" it again, now didn't run any Su, reeboted device and it finally started.
I think su is the problem. Where can I check what su should I use?
great first take a nandroid.
finding the correct su is hit and trial method. generally su 2.62-3 worked. try other su's 2.65,2.66

Ok, I get it now. I backup my device with nandroid to make sure I have it there in case something goes wrong. If I have no info I want to save (my phone is blank, it's factory resetted from the bootloader unlocking) is it still necessary to nandroid? It's necessary in case a su fails right?
nandroid backup takes a backup of your OS with data and everything.
I think you didn't allow/system to be modified when you first booted into twrp. that's why su is failing, as su modifies the /system partition.

by now, my MXP is factory resetted, I'm trying to read more before doing anything.
Since is factory resetted, it doesn't have developer mode (oem unlocking, usb debugging). I still see TWRP in recovery mode.
I suppose if I want to try another SU, I have to enable develper of course, oem-usb, obviously. Do I have to flash TWRP again? Or can I just try a SU? Of course, after having done a nandroid.

you don't need to take nandroid backup always, once is sufficient unless you want to backup the latest data. no need to flash twrp again. just flash su.
take a nandroid backup once (everything system, boot, data) . after successfully flashing su you can keep another backup that contains su.

ok, finally! My device is rooted. Thanks a lot!
I think I forgot to select external storage when taking a nandroid, so it went into internal storage, it filled a little more than 5 GB. I can't see this backup neither in TWRP, PC or an android file explorer. How can I get rid of those 5 GB? I take a nandroid on external storage and already copied it in my PC.
Is there a way via TWRP to get rid of it? Wiping something? I'm very cautios from now on.
it's stored at /data/media/twrp delete those backups. or boot into twrp >restore> it'll show all the backups delete those.
edit: Im stuck in the "watery logo" I need help unistalling SU can some1 point me to that guide?
I've already flashed SuperSU 2.62-3
edit 2: I flashed SU 2.65 and it did the trick! solved, i think
original post:

I do not know what to do
