Installation procedure CM11

I've seen many people having problems installing CM11 and this is due to a few things. First of all Kitkat needs a CWM 6 to install it and this is why we created Temp. CWM6. The second error is "Status 7". This is due to the update script, as CM parses kind of a security test to know if your device is really the device it should be.

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "totoro" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "totoro" || abort("This package is for \"totoro\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

Unlucky our device does not have this property on a stock ROM, so here it comes the Status 7 error.

So, installation instructions are easy, but you need to be carefully.

  1. Download the ROM from androidarmv6 download site 
  2. Download this template or take a kernel flash zip.
  3. Add the boot.img of the ROM you downloaded to the template.
  4. Inside the ROM zip open updater-script (META-INF/com/google/android)
  5. Remove the line written above (assert(getprop...)
  6. Add both files to your SD card
  7. Flash the Kernel zip and reboot again through recovery, you'll be on CWM6
  8. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
  9. Install the ROM
This will make the job for installing CM11 the first time! Then, CWM6 will be installed and properties needed for another CM11 installation will be set (if you keep on CM11). If you go back again to stock, this procedure needs to be repeated.

Happy testing!

      This problem is related to the SIM card? If you turn off the machine and remove the sim card will it open the system?

      Right just tested this, if you switch your phone off, remove your sim card, and switch it back on the boot animation doesn't disappear and launches to kitkat. I don`t know what the problem is but it can`t launch with the sim card in

      Perhaps it's related to baseband. Try other modems.

    Enough is enough! For years, you can not produce a stable ROM! And next to it yet produce a stable ROM to benefit from the unnecessary nonsense we deal with non-zoomed sophistication. Drivers were released but still not completely stable ROM why did you produce enough! CM11a us what we are? Our device does not have a powerful device. Even without producing 7.2 CM CM to 11 have passed. FIRST PRODUCTION of a stable Cyanogen MOD ROM. CM9! We want a stable ROM. Not vacancies.

      Do yourself then ¬¬'...
      They're putting hard work into this, it's a Nightly, don't expect a completed build full of features and awesome performance.

    Guys, if you plan using the cm-11-20140706-EXPERIMENTAL-totoro.zip DO NOT USE the boot.img from this zip *the modified date is 2008, so it's an outdated boot.img somehow >.<* get the recovery.img at the same page you got the zip *Jenkins* and rename to boot.img and put in the kernel zip =)

Audio working, what about nes release?

Hi there, I managed to get audio working, but just on speakers at the moment. I've made really big step up, but we do not have Audio Sources for other communications and that is really bad. I'll try to figure out how to make them work (front speaker and headphone), without any kind of source. Apart from that, I've bad news too, RIL has been broken due to new Audio libs. This is really weird, and I must figure it out too, although that will be really difficult. I want to make you a question, would you like to see Beta 3 with audio (speakers) working and more fixes that you don't know, BUT with RIL broken? Fixing RIL will take a lot of time to make them compatible with new Audio sources... So what you think? () Release Beta 3 (RIL broken) Yes No    pollcode.com free polls    This Poll is still work in porgress... I don't know if it will work as it should. Make sure to leave a comment too with your opinion! NOTE: RIL means 2g and 3g. Radio Int...

Dissapointed but big news too!

Hi there, as you may know I'm kind of dissapointed on how people talked about me on this post I made some days ago. I've made a video explaining what I think about it, and announced big things, although I'm not feeling quite well to share with some guys out there, insulting me behind "Anonymous" name.   Don't ask any ETA! It is still VERY UNSTABLE! Thanks to all the people that supported me, and well, nothing to say to other... just see the video.
