Root CM12.1 Unofficial Beta

Same here. All data has stopped.

Update. I had to reflash,and use dialer codes to get it going again. Haven't installed any mods,xposed,etc. Just can't figure out what happened. Anyone else?

Also this morning I bought final fantasy iv ($16) and after downloading it and trying to install, I realized it's not compatible with lollipop. I'm a big mobile gamer but forgot that most games still aren't working with L.
 
Clean flash 2/25
Rear Camera works fine with CAMU
All those who have Rear Camera working on stock app can please confirm that whether they first flashed 2/23 then dirty flashed 2/25 ?
it seems all those who flashed 2/23 have rear camera working in 2/25
Haven't updated to 2/28 as already worked out HOME button and camera with CAMU so .....
And NO VIBRATION of course but can live with it .

For feedback sake I am using it outside US in a CDMA provider like SPRINT/VERIZON but mines based on SIM cards exclusively . Just pop in any CDMA SIM and it works . Tested 2 carriers here . Everything works fine including calls , sms and DATA

I can confirm this is what happened with me...
Flashed original - rear cam/vib did not work
Flashed boot.IMG - fixed cam and vibration.. Broke charging
Flashed updated ROM- and cam and charging fixed ... Vib borked
Flashed latest - cam still works and now home button is fixed.. Vib still borkes

All Dirty flashes just wiping caches
...edit... Except original install, that was a fresh install.
I wiped system, cache, dalvik, data, and internal storage

but on clean flash 2/25 Rear camera only works with CAMU not with stock
 
Awesome work on the ROM Bad_MOFO_33, thank you so much for taking time out to put this together. It works almost flawlessly. There are a couple of things I had a concerns about though in my case (not sure if ROM relevant or user error)

1) Google maps in navigation mode has a "dragging" compass and it doesn't show me a turn by turn navigation it is just stuck in one place (could have been this way during kitkat too I don't remember, perhaps the FASTERGPS messed up the file?)
2) I have a crossed circle on my status bar (see photo) and I have no idea what it has to do with
3)i seem to be having a few problems with Lee going to a dead connection with an exclamation point, even after the radio turn on and off. It will just happen in the middle of normal operation sometimes

Thanks for all your work guys, it's good to know that there are a team of people who take care of one another rather than saying tough ****!!!

In TWRP (preferably the one linked in the OP) do a wipe/factory reset. Install zip file from ext sd card. install gapps (PA 5.01 Lollipop gapps for this) then wipe dalvik/cache again before rebooting. The last step is probably optional but can help sometimes. If that doesnt work then maybe something else going on, please give what recovery youre using, what ROM you had installed before, any other possibly relevant info

I'm using the recovery linked, I'm using the stock zv3 rom. Still stuck.
 
maybe install one of the rooted zv5 roms first, then try CM12? I think most of us trying it came from rooted zv5 that we'd been running for a bit before these first couple beta roms came out.

That is what I am going to do now. I just assumed it wouldn't really matter too much. I shall update to it now, and report back with what happens.
 
It shouldnt but this device and these roms are odd ducks. In rooting I had to use CWM for part of the process and TWRP for part. Took me a day to get CM12 running fine and im not sure what really did it. Omni worked fine for 24hrs before I got random reboots. It seems like everyone is having odd issues that need to be ironed out. things that shouldnt matter seem to. I wouldnt count on anything being a daily driver unless your'e cool with reflashing regularly. If you keep running into trouble i did run the custom rooted debloated zv5 for several weeks with no issues at all.

I do hope at some point close in the near future this CM 12 is stable enough for a daily driver. This phone has a lot of potential.

It is not working still. I will try one last time, but after that I will give up.
 
I can not get this to install any way I try. I get the zv5 rom to work with no problems what so ever. But CM12 just refuses to install. If someone could make a definitive guide that would be amazing.

I would suggest wiping internal memory.. Just make sure any backups or items you don't want to lose are on your external card first.

it definitely installs with Lollipop TWRP.
make a full backup while still using KitKat TWRP to external_SD.
use flashify to backup KitKat recovery.
copy flashify-backup folder to external_SD.
use Flashify to flash Lollipop TWRP recovery.
(KitKat TWRP is tan, Lollipop TWRP is blue; wiping takes longer in TWRP Lollipop, be patient)
save CM12 ROM to external_SD.
save GApps zip to external_SD.
wipe absolutely everything except external_SD within Lollipop TWRP.
install CM12 within Lollipop TWRP.
wipe cache/dalvik cache.
reboot system.
boot into CM12. cycle through setup. tap build a bunch of times in settings to enable developer options.
enable root for apps/adb in developer options.
power off.
boot into Lollipop TWRP.
install GApps from external_SD.
wipe cache/dalvik cache.
reboot system.
(if you need to restore: Flashify flash TWRP KitKat; TWRP wipe everything except external_SD; restore old ROM in KitKat TWRP from backup stored in external_SD.)
unless your download was corrupted, you won't have a problem installing CM12.
the key is to wipe absolutely everything except external_SD in Lollipop TWRP before installing CM12 from external_SD. :)
