you MUST reflash a kind of stock/not gps moddified version :/

Getting this same issue on wifes Nexus 4. Its stock with the 4.3 JB OTA no mods or root since that OTA. Can't understand why GPS.conf could be changed.
If I root and TWRP could a factory image update.zip with the -w wipe removed work to get her to KitKat without wiping and redoing her phone? I am used to flashing custom roms this stock ota stuff is giving me a headache.

You do not use custom rom or custom recovery to flash factory image. Use the links in my signature for instructions.

I understand that, she is stock ROM, with stock recovery and not rooted when she is having this issue. No root TWRP or custom rom involved. Since it wasn't working with stock recovery was looking for options without wiping device during factory image flash to fix GPS.conf file thats buggered.
She got the OTA normal way on her phone this afternoon, but it failed. Will check out your sig links when I get home and see if I can solve this without spending all night setting her phone back up from a factory image wipe :/ Thx for feedback and any pointers

The flashing will required an unlocked bootloader, so if its not unlocked you will lose all data when unlocking it. (Doing a factory reset in stock recovery also wipe everything.)
I don't really know what else you can do, if there were never any modifications, then the problem is due to Google having too much protections and issues for their OTA packages.

Unlocked so can do the method in your guide. But she says she wants to clean up her phone so a clean start will probably perform better and she gets the clean slate she wants, problem solved Though OTA checks annoy me now lol
thx for the feedback and guides

Upon boot, clicking "Try To Solve' and then enabling permissions allowed the Setup Wizard to proceed to launcher screen.
Next, going to Play Store and updating "Google Play Services" sorted the rest out.
Thanks! The automatic system update messed up GApps quite badly for me, this helped a lot!

here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Km0FbYnea1aDdIaTEydElhUkk/view?usp=sharing

twrp has not made it to 3 ox you have to use a downgrade to get a fresh start using unbrick method, (keep flashable backup via flashify) get twrp installed with the new (old) boot loader, flash cm14+ext. and you are done.
if you had cm13 or the likes, please confirm if you CAN upgrade to 14 before ox people start trying to install without knowing if it even has android 6 (last update i saw on the branch was from june 7 so idk)
teamwin does not have twrp for the ox 3 on oneplus x yet (on their releases anyway) so you have to follow some other process to downgrade to a twrp'able os (and a backup) before trying yo install this
if i see any info from people who have been able to update (and if it has android 7) i'll try to make a video on the process (in white, Texan english)

Please remove this page.

Did you try boot into it:
> fastboot boot twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img
Seems like the guide says you have to boot into it, not flash it.

You're right. I tried fastboot boot twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img and it booted into twrp_for_ox_3.1.0. But it still return an error when flash CM14, the same of twrp 3.0.2.0.

Looks like a successful install to me. Could you provide twrp logs?

With whose permission did you post this build here ? Don't you think there was a reason that even after a complete build of CM14 it was still not posted to the forums ?
I am asking you, as politely as possible, to remove the links and this fake procedure, when N is ready, it will be shared, you might find phony builds or legit but non working ones on the interweebz, that doesn't mean it gives you the right to share it just because you think its cool, because its not.
Take it down.
EDIT: Sure, if you build yourself and want to share it then you're more than welcome.

And then they will cry if things are broken !! Take it down folk !

This Build was just a test build, what made u think that i will not post it here on xda if the rom booted? We, the team are working to make it work but yeah dont post the builds from afh here, will update u all for sure when its done. I think it was my mistake to not to make that build private. -_-

It flashes successfully but doesn't boot, goes back into recovery. Still, great work.

congrats for succesfull starter build
hats off !!!!! to you guys ([/B]developers off this rom) :good:

Tap on Install in the TWRP main screen.
Now, the default mode is to flash zip files, you will need to toggle the mode to images.
To do so, tap on the Images… button on the bottom-right of the screen.
The recovery will now only see the image files, select the one you desire to flash, this could either be a system or boot image file.
Once you select, you will be prompted to select the type of image it is, select Boot or system corresponding to the image file you selected.
Finally, swipe the button on the bottom of the screen to start the flashing process.

Yeah did that. Works but it has some problems and also, it says its for Lenovo S660.
There are problems with the ROM as it keeps asking if I want to switch to SD card as default write disk, screen flickers bad...and its identifying the phone as a different model which can cause problems installing other apps not intended for this model....I'm guessing that last part.
Right now I am trying to find the latest stable Marshmallow ROM and not seeing one that works.
Any ideas? Too bad there is no Resurrection Remix ROM for this model.

Aweome ROM but autofocus is a problem. Any ideas, please?

Hi all
This is just the best ROM for my phone I've found, love it, but autofocus doesn't work with any of revisions of boot. I see the autofocus question still has no answer, that's very sad. Am I forced to upgrade to CM because of autofocus only? I like this vanilla Lolipop very much, everything works just great, battery runs 1,3 times longer than on stock Lenovo ROM
Let me know if I can help with testing
Thanks!

TWRP doesn't flash anything

I have flashed stock MM rom , now whenever i try to flash any kernel twrp freezes and phone restarts to recovery, I've used this armoa supported TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/3-customs-recoverys-galaxy-j5-2015-t3560266
latest official TWRP and also latest Orangefox, all had the same issue, what should I do?
UPDATE: Problem resolved after reflashing the stock and debloating it, not sure which one did the trick but anyways it worked!

If you can flash rom, Gapps or any other things expect kernel, then your twrp works fine and you flash the wrong kernel for that one(you flashed the another model)
And maybe it's bc of your twrp that can't flash kernel and need the special one that the kernel dev should be mentioned
Would you please share the link or give me more details?

yes, I can flash everything else except kernels.
the issue is all TW 6.0.1 kernels here have their links removed so I just have them from re-uploaders outside of xda forums, here is a kernel of a total of 3 kernels that don't even flash no matter what recovery I'm using
http://www.mediafire.com/file/040tj212gjqfzzp/J500H-Kraken-R4_Nyell.zip/file
and thanks for the reply
update: the recovery doesn't freeze in the middle of the procedure. it freezes at the very beginning like "checking digest files" and things like that

That's the problem. Unpack the zip and there should be a boot.img inside. No wonder it wasn't working.

already tried that, but have you looked at the file? it has patches for wifi and things like that, when I extracted the zip file and flashed only the boot.img the rom worked but without wifi and with a lot of bugs.
