Below is the process that can be used to update your NT EMMC from CM10.x to CM11.
Download the following files to a location in your user content-media storage space on the NT:
the flashable_CWM_6.0.4.5_chrmhoffmann.zip file from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xjwc1a482a6ll/Nook_Tablet which contains the CWM recovery v0.2 provided by Chris Hoffmann (in the first post of the XDA Official CM11 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560827).
the zip file of CM11 ROM build of your choice from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim (see http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-m4-post-release-items for considerations in choosing nightlies vs. snapshot/stable builds)
the zip file of the Gapps package corresponding to CM11 – e.g., from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Boot into your current emmc recovery
Select install zip and install flashable CWM recovery zip file (obtained in step 1(a)).
Select reboot to boot into the new emmc recovery (flashed in the preceding step).
Select Wipe data & factory reset.
Select install zip and install CM11 zip file.
Select install zip and install Gapps zip file.
Reboot into the new CM11.
Once the NT boots up, set up the wifi connectivity and your google account info. If you had previously enabled Google backup service on your CM10.x your Google Playstore apps will be auto-downloaded (but their settings will not be auto-restored).
If the NT on occasion boots or reboots into a black screen (in lieu of CM boot animation), then you have encountered one of the "random boot crashes" – more info and potential remedies, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48941796&postcount=94 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48301259#post48301259.
A few additional points worth noting:
Flashing CM11 requires CWM version 6.0.4.5 or later, or TWRP version 2.6.3.0 or later. To create a flashable recovery zip file for TWRP, use an archive file manager such as 7-zip to delete and replace the recovery.img inside the flashable recovery zip file (obtained in step 1(a) above) with your choice of TWRP internal recovery image file from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/acclaim (e.g., openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-acclaim.img). Remember to rename the downloaded TWRP .img file to recovery.img before inserting it into the recovery zip file, and also rename the resulting new recovery zip file to some other name like flashable_TWRP_2.x.y.z.zip to avoid future mix-up.
Installing CM11 ROM and Gapps will override your NT's CM10.x boot, recovery, ROM, and Apps, so make sure that you backup all this stuff using recovery backup function, for easy in reverting to CM10.x if desired. See my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48612997#post48612997 for more "Info and Tips for Mitigating Risks in Rooting and Flashing Custom-ROM".
I would advise against using any other functions of the recovery without first carefully researching to understand what they really do.
My thanks to all the developers who collective work created the wonderful CM11 ROM for the NT as well as the tools and info I made use of to install it.
A day before i moved from CM 10 to CM 11 , with the help of mikeataol
Anyway Thanks a lot for this guide.
Few questions
* Any good custom kernel ? I tried Bexus but its giving me "android.phone" stopped responding error and wont allow me to do anything , it just keeps on coming even after pressing "OK"
* What happend to multi touch feature ? any ROM , way to enable it ?
* Is it only me or others too feel that the screen lags a lot wrt to touch input ? Its more evident during scrolling or reaading pdf. Also anyway to resolve it ? I desperately need a fix for this.
* I used gapps from here : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
CM 11 20140105 , is it fine or i should use PA Gapps only ?

The Gapps KK package you installed is fine, the PA package just has a few more apps (such as Maps and YouTube, etc. -- all of which you can get from the Google Playstore) and is more frequently updated (-> less likelihood/need for updates for the apps in the package immediately after first installation).

Thanks , I heard that multitouch has bug which makes tablet slow at <50% battery , is it so ? also does that app work on cm 11?
Yes , i did wipe everything and installed CM 11 , still the screen is stuttering. very annoying. Is there a way to increase the fps ? or see if GPU drivers are working properly ?
The default Gapps are giving error when flashed with Bexus kernel
---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aatt.fpsm&hl=en
Used this app and saw that fps varies and it varies like from 7 - 50 during reading pdf.
On slow scrolling of pdf , it only shows 11 or so fps , which is why i think shows the stuttering effect
Used the same app on my GS3 to see the difference and it holds its FPS at 60+ and not dropping below 50.
I think if i can make this tablet to render everything at 30+ fps i might not feel this stuttering effect.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15488514/nooktablet.mp4
here is the video i tried to take regarding the screen lag.
its all real time , there is no , afaik any camera lag ( taken with sg3) , its pretty much how it looks . Also i have shown the FPS . You can see when i scroll slowly , the FPS drops to 20 or so making it jerky. if i do it fast , it reaches 50+ but not stable and not very responsive to my touch feedback either.

Sorry, I handled this issue.
But now if I selected the ZIP file I downloaded from the first post, CWM reported that this file is BAD, and I cannot install.
I am using CWM 5.5.0.4.

You need a newer version of CWM 6.0.[1-3].x to install CM10.x.
If you have a SD card handy, try the method outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163.

Hi,
I did exactly like that. I tried to update CWM to 6.0.45 and the current CWM reported that the zip file of CWM 6.0.45 is BAD

For CM10.x you need 6.0.[1-3].x (e.g., 6.0.2.8).
6.0.4.5 and later versions are for CM11 only.
If you follow the SD-based CWM recovery method in the referenced post the CWM recovery you'd be using (to flash the new CWM, ROM, Gapps) is provided by the file recovery.img (downloaded and copied to the SD card) rather than your current 5.5.0.4 on emmc. Make sure that you boot the NT off the SD card as prescribed in step #3 (otherwise you will end up booting emmc cyanoboot and CWM).
FYI, i'm pretty sure TWRP 2.7 (official from GooManager/TWRP site) doesn't work. if you click on the console button (square with lines in it, top) it'll say "This kernel doesn't support configuring SELinux" or something like that. i tried wiping stuff and it would just do a soft reboot. i may go file a proper report to TeamWin but i have CWM on there now and i don't particularly feel like reflashing a broken recovery.
TL;DR don't use TWRP
Hello, I'm new and trying to learn so please don't be too harsh. In following the instructions I somehow overwrote the stock rom and now duel boot CM 10.1 and 11. Any clue as in what I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance.

This thread OP is for updating the NT Internal Emmc to CM11 (from CM10.x), i.e., CM11 would be installed internally. If you were still running stock ROM internally, it wold be replaced by CM11.
good looking out

PLEASE READ NEW FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any bricks. By flashing this you understand that no one involved with the making of this Rom is responsible for a brick. However, if two nations go to war, that's okay, because they will destroy themselves and their people will worship me, THE BUTTAHLORD OF BUTTERNOOBIA!!!
I mean uhh... No, very bad thing, no countries should not go to war *cough* destroy yourselves *cough*
PLEASE READ ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE FLASHING, D/Ls and Changelog in 2nd Post
Okay past the joking, this is a stock, rooted KitKat ROM for the ZTE ZMAX. The deodexed version would not boot, so this is odexed. However, this version is free of any King Related apps and I've also removed the little bit of crapware in the device.
FEATURES:
Removal of All King Related Apps
Pre-Rooted
Clear of Bloatware
Added Xposed
Added SuperSU
Removed crappy ZTE/Metro/TMO apps
Overall Clean experience
HOW TO FLASH (NEW INSTRUCTIONS):
1. Place ZIP on SD Card
2. Reboot Into TWRP
3. NANDROID (DO NOT SKIP THIS FOR YOUR SAKE)
4. Don't factory reset the normal way, go to wipe > advanced wipe and click "dalvik cache", "data", "cache" and "system". If you don't, you run the risk of getting an updater-script error (not from the zip, it's a bug in some TWRP builds).
5. New Step: Reboot recovery (in the recovery menu). It will ask if you want to install su, press do not install.
5. Flash the ROM
6. Reboot and rep Butternoob!
BUGS:
Free and clear, you tell me!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Butternoob has been confirmed to work on all variants of the ZTE ZMAX by at least two people on each variant. THIS IS NOT SUPERBUTTER! For those that don't know, Superbutter will be a heavily modified custom rom. Butternoob was designed to be a stock, clean experience with solid performance. I may add tweaks, but you won't find a lot beyond the stock experience.

no. Don't try it. Unless you want to buy another phone.
Having an odd issue with LTE. When I call with LTE enabled, it tries to force the call through VOLTE, rather than handing off to a 4g (or whatever) local band. The call, of course, fails with no audio in or out; is this a known issue, is there a workaround, do I need to re-flash, or is this something weird that nobody's heard about before?

Zmax Z970 RamDisk Boot.img packing problem
Hi,
Im attempting to repack the ram-disk image for my boot img on my ZTE Zmax z970 running the BN 2.0-oxed ROM. I was trying to use gzip with mkbootimg and it is not working, im assuming due to the fact that my newly repacked ram-disk cpio compressed file was not the same size as the original making the phone fail to boot when the boot.img was sent back to the boot block. My pc is running Ubuntu 14.04-32 bit. I know that the unpack-bootimg and mkbootimg scripts are working correctly because when i repack an unchanged boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz file (unpack the img and recreate the boot.img file) and re-upload it to the boot block, the phone boots correctly so I know that my procedures outside of the ram-disk cpio file are correct. My question is, How can I find out how much padding i need on the ram-disk file, where the padding should go, and how to apply the padding to get the file the correct size so that it will work as intended? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I only unpackaged the boot image to change one entry in the ramdisk to the default.prop file. If there is a way to open the compressed cpio file with an archive manager and could update the file once i make my change. that would work as well. I can open the gz file with the archive manager but can not open the cpio folder contained inside.
Thanks,
Much appreciation.....f20062e
I followed your directions. Surprisingly it was super easy! Thanks!!!!!
Does this work on 6.0.1 Zmax Pro Tmobile?

Need link to root the z981 and link for twrp to install the recovery image. Thanks all for the hard work this excellent community pours out on a daily basis!
Hi there! I just got this flashed, and I need to know if it's safe to do an OTA update over your ROM.
Thanks a ton!
ZTE 982
Hi there good morning I have a big question, I have the ZTE z982 from MetroPCS I went ahead and rooted and installed TWRP on it. Now I was having some issues trying to flash a custom rom Slimrom to be exact (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-zmax/development/slimrom-5-0-2-t3161888) but I kept getting errors about legacy property? So something along those lines. Well I then read somewhere that it could be because of TWRP being outdated. I took it upon myself to look and find an .IMG witch I then flashed and now am stuck with a sorta bootloop flashes on but the screen goes black. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
how did you get past fastboot. my z982 cant find device there?

No matter what I do I cannot get this vile little phone to root. It is located in adb but fastboot just isnt there or doesnt' want to find it. I have tried every dang driver you can think of and still nothing in fastboot. I must know its driving me crazy. I have got to where i absolutely hate this phone!
works on z981 ??
I see a lot of people are looking for a decent ROM for the Elephone P6i. This is the firmware that came with my device, plus a few slight modifications. The recovery included is the PhilZ touch Recovery CWM 6.0.5.1, and the SU binary is already installed, as well as busybox and SuperSU as a system app. I also installed fully customizable audio modifications, including XTREMEMusic, assembled by @androidexpert35 at xda, and Sony Atmos, which are both available for download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-beatsaudio-e-xloud-installer-t3029951
I am also posting links to both the CWM-flashable zip and the CWM backup. You pretty much have to have a custom recovery already installed to flash this zip, unless you want to go through the trouble of extracting it, then converting it to SP Flash Tool files. I might upload the files for direct flashing myself depending on the amount of requests.
Update: SP Flash Tool files have been uploaded.

Let me know how it works for you!

You gotta move this to android general forum, ask the moderators to do so
This rom is one of the best roms I think is there in this world!!!
Very easy to install and it is debloated,deknoxed,and odexed for performance. Comes with a kernel overclocker, root manager and system uninstaller. It still runs on Touchwiz UI But HEAVILY SLIMMED and runs like a charm!!! ( though most of the work has been done for you )BTW Back up all your data on a computer PLEASE Because this erases the data of your internal storage!!!
Steps to install: I will NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES OR FAILING SOFTWARE!!!
1. Download the ROM
2.Install TWRP Recovery ( Works on this only, don't know about clockworkmod )
3.Extract zip into TWRP Backup folder inside 234cea. If it is not there make a backup of your boot and go back and extract the zip into the folder.
4.Then boot into recovery click touch restore click V Custom Rom and wait for it to restore! THATS IT!!!!
Link will come later
Good Luck Comment Please!!! Also please if you can help me keep developing the ROM!!!

Thread closed.
No download in OP.
Inaccurate information.
Pixel 2 Boot Animations. (Huawei Ascend XT2) (H1711)Preview - White - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrXHzTr2TrM
Preview - Black - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6wrGwHYvQ
These were originally posted in this thread by TECHNO_THUNDER (Please go over there and give him thanks!)
But the files over there will not flash correctly onto our Huawei XT2 because the bootanimation.zip file that we need to replace is located in a completely different location on our device.
I solved this issue by repacking and making a new flashable zip file that will flash the files to the right location. These boot animations look pretty awesome on our device so i thought I would share my zips with the community here.
This is my first time ever creating flashable zips so bear with me. I tested all of them multiple times just to be safe so you should have no problems.
Please back up your phone before installing mods. I cant be responsible if you brick your device
Instructions:
1. Place zip on your External SD.
2. Reboot to TWRP recovery.
3. Hit KEEP READ ONLY.
4. Go to INSTALL and SELECT STORAGE and then select Micro SD Card.
5. Find your zip file and select it. Then swipe to Flash.
6. Delete Cache and click reboot system. (Make sure to hit Do Not Install before the reboot)
Your phone will reboot and there might be some lag after the first boot but that should go away after the second reboot.
Download:
Pixel 2 Black Boot Animation 720p - Google Drive Mirror
Pixel 2 White Boot Animation 720p - Google Drive Mirror
And if you need to return to stock. Simply flash the zip below
Huawei Ascend XT 2 Stock Boot Animation - Google Drive Mirror
Alternatively you can extract the zip file and copy the bootanimation.zip inside into the /version/special_cust/H1711/att/us/media folder using any root file explorer and then reboot your phone.
Enjoy! :good:
nicely done friend. This saves me the headache of doing it manually each time I decide on a clean install.
