Hi Guys, Need help

I was on CM12.1 and TWRP recovery.

Today I flashed cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK-bacon-signed.zip through TWRP 2.8.6 and now my phone is not going past CM boot logo.

The boot logo animation of "Cyanogen Mod ready" is keeps on displaying :(


I didn't not enabled USB debugging earlier.
I can still boot into TWRP.

Note: I followed this guide and the downloading url for ROM
Download Cyanogen OS 13.0.1 (6.0.1) Full Zip On OnePlus On

*builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2JK-bacon-signed-e7fe1f7ac5.zip

How can I fix this issue.

How did you exactly flash CM13?That article made me laugh he clearly don't know to how to flash a ROM.
Plz follow these steps
1)boot into twrp go to wipe
2)wipe cache,data,system,dalvik.
3)go to install select rom then select Gapps flash
4)clear dalvik and cache
5)Reboot.

This is best 6.0.1 rom for one plus one.

^^that article said "it will not wipe any data or your files from the phone".

i directly selected the install zip option in TWRP and flashed.

the gapps flash will need a separate zip file if I'm not wrong :ligthbulb_NF:

Looks like ROM has some issue.

That is a very wrong way to flash. Clean flash is always recommended.

Yes,Gapps is different zip file.

In that case you need to do it via fastboot method.

EDIT: do you still have access to TWRP?

EDIT2: you should be able to install it via a OTG drive. I have MultiROM Twrp installed v 3.0.0 and it shows me two sources viz, internal and otg

I'm currently in office and cannot access few sites, will be home at 11 PM.
in the mean time check if TWRP shows OTG and do a little digging on XDA.

BTW, if it shows up OTG then you can copy the ROM to a pendrive and install it from there :)

Yes. correct, copy ROM to a pendrive and using a OTG cable you can install it on your phone.

Hmm..will try that.

one thing i forgot to mention is that when I downloaded the ROM the file was saved as in JAR format and I renamed it to Zip, but i can see the contents inside.
I hope that won't be a problem :thinking_NF:

That's a mess.

Just install Bacon Root Toolkit on your laptop. Connect your phone to the laptop in Fastboot mode. Choose install stock ROM, soft bricked phone.

That software will download latest ROM and install it on the Oneplus One. That is the best way.

Enter into twrp then connect it to PC You can then add ROM files and gapps.

That means you have downloaded wrong file Flashable ROM are always in zip format.

Thank you guys for all the support...
the issue is resolved now
[MENTION=2132]RCuber[/MENTION] : I tried with OTG and the phone got booted :cool_NF:

The issue was after installing ROM...TWRP asks to install SuperSu and runs a script and that was the main problem when I bypassed the SuperSu installation..all worked nicely

Now i have few doubts :

Q 1: Should I restore the data (backed up earlier) from TWRP..will it work or crash the OS ?

Q 2: Should I flash the stock recovery instead of TWRP as OTA updates don't work on TWRP ? btw flashing recovery will wipe out data, correct ?

1. No, it would again crash the OS.
2. I do get OTA (CM) and im on MultiROM Twrp.

You don't need to flash CM recovery.
CM OTA works with twrp.

Oh you mean delta updates.
You can enable delta updates with this

^^don't know about the delta updates
but as I know there are 2 or 3 types of CM updates
e.g: 1. for CM13 there will be official OTA for those who use stock recovery.
2.then who cannot use official OTA due to custom recovery (TWRP etc) some dev creates a flashable signed zip of around 600~800mb.

the only difference between 1 & 2 is the signed bacon zip support for TWRP as 1 doesn't work on TWRP.

so I use the 2nd one as I have TWRP now after flashing the zip it works the same way as the official ROM as it pings the same cygn gateway to get the OTA updates
and once a new OTA updates is available the updates do get downloaded (around 15~30mb) but on running it asks to update the recovery to stock and this where it FAILS.

I hope I am correct

Don't know what is happening but you don't need to update ROM daily do a full ROM update once a month or 15 days you will be fine.
