if you want this to just end im pretty confident this will work

in my main page https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Seraph08
theres a zip file named Carl. In that is 3 img files you will fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

by this point your phone is wiped, and i mean completely your photos everything.
ill recommend since your already in fastboot flash recovery to use adb for the moment ill recomend SuperR's Philz.

flash your recovery boot into recovery
adb sideload your gapps

you should basically have a brand new phone. just a new phone with a recent AOSPA build.

Worked like a charm, though when I plugged my phone to my PC, the storage section showed 5.04 GB free of 5.43. Any idea what's causing this?

My partition is as follows :
/system - 0.94 GB
/data - 5.44 GB
/cache - 652 MB
/sdcard (FAT) -5.44 GB

Got a XT1033, 16 GB, dual SIM.

@Seraph08 Does your build of PA include status bar icon customization or custom navbar buttons? That's why I'm on CM remix 5.1.1 instead of DC07 official PA build. Performance was better on PA but I'm a customization freak. :P

5.43gigs total space, after flashing and the phone wipes, 5.04 gigs left.
 
Ya I have a first Gen phone only, 16 GB (model XT1033). Somehow my partitioning is screwed up I guess, anyway to restore it back to how it was initially?

Will suggest you to flash your last stock ROM via fastboot .
Then again flash choice of custom recovery and flash ROM via zip.
You flashed custom boot system and userdata IMG via fastboot . which was ment for 8GB version I guess.

You were already rooted with recovery there was no real reason to fastboot to stock. Just should of installed your backup or just downloaded a different rom and installed it. Did you fastboot back to kit kat? If so it won't go past the boot logo. You should still be able to get to recovery. Just reinstall a custom recovery and go from there.

His partition table is messed up, he need to go to stock fully to correct that. Then with custom recovery any zip can be flashed.
Remember he flash system boot and user partitions with 8gb compatible images.

All he did was flash the p.a. rom. I would think just restoring his backup would fix the issue.

Nop, normally any custom rom or PA won't touch user partitions. They need to be wiped manually . and to correct any issue with user partition it is best to go back full stock.

new build up

New build is just 88.05 MB , is that full ROM or delta update or an error ?
As size is significantly lower didn't flash.

Update - website shows 88.05 mb, while downloading it shows approx 120mb. Is that correct or something wrong with upload .?
