Last week I brought a Morotola Xoom on ebay, it had 4.0 installed but I wasn't that impressed with it having got used to stock 4.1 on my phone.
I came across the great guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477024 and used this along with http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_wingray to unlock, root and install cyanogenmod 10.1 on it.
It was mostly a stress free install (although I managed to miss renaming the stock files that the post says causes Stock Recovery to overwrite CWM but it seems to still work OK.
My issue now is that I don't seem to have all the Google apps. It has gmail but not maps or market. I assumed that gmail isn't part of cyanogenmod so the 'gapps-jb-20130812-signed' file has installed (I think that file is the correct version).
It's not too clear from the instructions they read to me that you install the main CM zip and then Google apps without needing to re-boot in between, is this correct? I've tried a completely fresh install and also wiping the cache partition but no luck. But have not tried re-booting after installing the CM then installing Google Apps in a second boot, worth a try I guess.
Am I just making a simple noob error here? Thanks in advance for any advice.
A update, I've just tried formatting and re-installing again, only this time allowing a reboot into android prior to trying to install Google apps. One thing I've learnt is that the gmail app is part of the base install. Installing google apps appears to go ok but upon rebooting they aren't there. My next test is to try yet another clean install and an old version of gapps (gapps-jb-20120719-signed).

Motorola Xoom issues with 'Motorola fast-boot' replacing 'clockwork-recovery'
A further update... It's not gone well, it'd defaulted back to Motorola fast-boot protocol support not clockwork-recovery (after me initially forgetting to rename the files even though it's worked for many re-boots until now).
I've then tried to run back through the guidance at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477024 to re-unlock and re-install clockwork-recovery.
However, it's not gone great, for a start it took me a while to work out to turn on usb debugging in Cyanogenmod 10.1 (see http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_developer_options) so adb can see it. After a couple of hours of messing about I've managed to get clockwork-recovery back on it.
However when booted into clockwork-recovery I got a 'error: device not found' from 'adb remount'. So I was not able to rename the files to prevent the Motorola fast-boot overwrite of clockwork-recovery eventually happening. When android is booted and it isn't in recovery I get a 'remount failed: Operation not permitted' response to adb remount. Is there another way to rename '/system/recovery-from-boot.p' and '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' without having to do it do it at that first boot, it is interesting that clockwork-recovery survived several boots.
I've decided not to risk the install of a potentially unsupported zip of Google apps when my recovery situation isn't solid.
Hmm a fun morning, I've lost times now at how many times I've had to reroot it. I've managed to get the Google play store apk and have tried using that (in addition to installing the gapps zip) it is loading but complaining of no network connection.
With regard to renaming the files ' /system/recovery-from-boot.p' and 'system/etc/install-recovery.sh' I've not managed this, when the tablet reboots into clockwork recordery its connection with adb is dropped. I've also tried doing them in terminal when booted and they don't seem to be there.
There doesn't seem to be anyone else commenting on this so I'll just plod along blindly :silly:

Well, I'm with this problem too. I'm trying to solve this problem by myself, but no success at all. It do FC on google play every time it try to update. Every Google App (besides GMail) is doing FC with this CM build.
I tried to:
- Reinstall google apps
- Install another version (compatible with Android 4.2.2)
- Do the wipes again
- Install google play from an outside source (it doen't come with it).
But no success.
Any ideas?
miraidensetsu sorry for my delay in responding, I'm surprised that no other responses to this tread have been made. An update I've now resorted back to the stable release cm-10.0.0. Given it's nearly a year old I'd hope there'll be a stable release of 4.2 out soon.
Initially I had issues with the stock keyboard crashing all the time. But after searching about this I've installed the Google keyboard app and disabled the stock one.

I just got a nexus 7 2013 and was using it for 3 weeks (after root + cyanogen 10.2 installation).
I tried to flash a kernel which I thought could solve an issue with cifs support, and after that trouble began:
After reboot, the device is only works in portrait mode - no matter what I did.
I tried to hard reset the device, formatting it completely, and installing the 2013 original rom which I downloaded from here (the wifi version):
htt ps://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razorjss15r
The device is starting (still - only portrait) but I got errors for google play and other apps.
At this point I tried to "adb restore" a full backup image which I did before all these troubles began - the image was restored successfully more or less, but I do not have the sdcard mounted (I can see a FILE named /sdcard on the root using root explorer but no folder).
I have no Idea what to do next - I cannot seem to make the device work with the SD mounted and therefore cannot copy files to the device at all (I always get read only filesystem/permission denied messages when I try to adb push). The portrait stays the same - no landscape and because no sd available, I am getting errors for almost every operation I do.
I cannot even make it back to the original factory state (boot works, but I cannot start google play or copy files to the device).
Any help will be appreciated.
-----
Some progress - I've managed to flash the recovery image, cyanogen 10.2 + google apps and after that latest SuperSU.
The device boots ok, but immediately I get the error of google play store - "unfortunetley, google play store has stopped". Trying to run the camera app gives "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". Gallery application gives "No external storage available".
I do not know if this is related, but when I am in recovery mode, I am able to use the file browser and see the content of /sdcard (which contains the files I pushed using "adb push" in order to flash the device), but if I boot into android, using adb to /sdcard (as root -> terminal + su) shows an empty folder.

By factory state you mean...?
Well on a side note, I tried using a CM10.2 with both their kernel and glitch's and based on my 1 month experience, battery issues are big time with this ROM and not the kernel itself. That is why I avoid CM10.2 based roms. If you're, however, satisfied with their features despite the battery drain then I guess you're good there. The custom ROMs have great stuff to offer.

well, at this point - i just want to make the device work...
I just flashed FML OMNIROM ([ROM][4.4.4/KTU84P][OMNIROM][LINARO/OPTIMIZED] FML: Fork My Life (10/15/2014)) on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I followed instructions on the rom page, including the recommended pa gapps. I was sure to clear /system, /cache, and /delvik. After rebooting, I got to the initial setup, but part way through, the notifications bar closed and I got repeated messages of "Unfortunatly com.android.systemui has stopped". Rebooting the device did not help. Now I also get errors of android search has stopped. As soon as one notification is closed, another one opens. I did make a nandroid, but was wondering if there was something I did wrong, and if I would be able to get OMNI, since my previous Shiny Rom was extremely sluggish.
Edit:
I wanted to add that my SuperSU is a version or two old, in case that may be part of the problem.
Edit 2:
For now I am going to restore old nandroid.

You can fix this in recovery. Use the file manager built into TWRP (or aroma's flash zip) to navigate to these directories: /data/data/com.android.systemui, /data/data/com.android.contacts, /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts. Delete the contents except for the "lib" link in each directory. That should fix your problem.

haven't found a method yet so far,just wait till international version rom release
Same here. Couldn't find a way to install Play Store yet >_<
The only way for now, is either to wait for a miracle on a root method on the tablet, or wait for the official international release for their ROM.
My N1 is back into its box, as it's pretty much useless now, since over 80% of the apps these days requires Google Service Framework.
It's fine to be a MP4 player now.Install MX player, some comics reader, and some China online games. Hope official GSF come out asap.

I tried several times also. I noticed the model at GMC was had the chinese version info on the back of the device but was running Play Store. Tried a few versions but it exited after a breif pinwheel. The N1 device is listed on googles accepted device list pdf with no specific model information. Maybe the next version of Play store ? IDK how it works. Anyway device is not useless for me - I found most apps I require on Amazon Store or APKs. The Nokia zlaunch is excellent and waking up with screen double touch I like also. I owned apple ipad mini and prefer the build of this. Feels very sturdy - well built.

I also got my N1 yesterday. I tried to install the Play Store, yet no success. I also tried the method used to install it on Xiaomi devices, but the offered Play Store there is not compatible with 5.0 (permission READ_LOGS seems to be required, thus the apps crash)
I thought also about flashing the PA Gapps via the "stock" recovery. I tried following:
- Put gapps zip in /mnt/sdcard/ and renamed it to update.zip
- reboot into recovery using adb (adb works fine so far)
I hoped that the recovery would flash the zip as an update, but the error screen appeared. Knows somebody if the zip name and location are correct?

I think the GAPPS zip file is not signed officially. Unless 3rd party recovery is installed, the un-signed gapps is no way to get into N1.
How did you get adb working? It doesnt seem to work for me with the Google USB drivers
EDIT: Nvm I figured it out, I needed to manually install the Google USB driver
Hello,
Has anyone of you checked if fastboot is available? Is the bootloader finally locked or not?
What have you actually checked/tested? At least could save some other guy sometime avoiding non-working retries ...
---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------
Just in case it gives someone some idea. Latest nexus player came with a 64bit Atom. Could gapps be obtained from there? Just in case architecture is the problem ...

Okay, so I am far from an expert, here's what I found:
1. You can boot into fastboot by pressing power + vol. down when the device is off. See the attachment how it looks. I've tried a few oem commands: fastboot oem unlock, fastboot oem ?, fastboot oem command list, they don't work.
2. AFAIK there is no root method. I've tried Kingo root, others tried Root Genius, both fail to root it. Looking at chinese forums with Google translate looks like they're waiting for an international ROM with Google stuff to flash.
3. You can install Google play services. It will just crash each time something tries to use it. I've made a sample app that tries to use it, I see these exceptions in Logcat:
Code:
java.lang.SecurityException: attempting to read gservices without permission: Neither user 10060 nor current process has com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: caller uid 10060 lacks any of android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

If you are interested in anything else I can try it (unless its some dangerous stuff)
Thanks syddd,
As you say i would not flash anything. I'm not an expert either.
In other ocassions a command useful to me was to boot (not flash) into custom recovery. For recovery I would try one working on similar hardware ... And from there, install superuser to root. If it is simply a clean android, that should do it.
As I said previously on other posts, I will start doing this works on mine once I got one by mid-april.
Remember, It is always important to backup current status!
As I first step I will test something like it appears on this guide for the nexus 7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415668
Adapting things to similar hardware ...
Trying fastboot boot with custom recovery to know if the device is locked. If it is it should not allow this operation.
Something like method 1 in this other guide

Thanks for the guide!
I tried to follow the clockworkmod recovery one, but could not dump the boot partition. I am thinking of extracting it from the official ROM, I just dont know where those are... We could find out by snooping on the connection while the device gets a new update.
EDIT: Also "fastboot boot test.img" results in:
C:\>fastboot boot test.img
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 2048 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.521s]
BUT the device does not reboot and I see the following for a split second:
"boot command stubbed in this platform!"
where test.img is just an emty file. Does this mean that the boolloader is locked?
EDIT2: I've managed to get 2 update files by clicking the "check for update" button and snooping with Wireshark what happens. It makes a POST request to http://www.fc811.com/OTA/GetOTAFirm...&fw_id=A5CN30B&serial_no=XXXXXXXX&version=1.0 , where serial_no is the serial of your device (found in the about menu) and fw_id is your current firmware. I could download 2 firmwares with this method A5CN30B and A5CN315B. Both are minor updates, if someone has the fw version from the initial release it would be useful because we could get the 5.0.2 update.
I've put these in my dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9186429/nokia_n1/A5CN30B_update.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9186429/nokia_n1/A5CN315_update.zip
Both have a droidboot.img file inside them, which is a RAMdisk boot image.
Really really nice advances!!
Thanks! You`ve been able to download I think a valid ROM for the device! Now it should be explored ...
And yes, I suppose the boot is locked which means it will not be easy to make changes.
We will need more expert hands to guide on what's next ...
In my opinion I would try to open the Image you have downloaded.
I've opened it, as you can see they are simple .zip files. But they are not ROMs. Part of them are Android patchfiles which contain just binary diffs. The bootloader is a RAMDisk which can be opened and patched with the methods you linked. The big question is whether they can be installed or not.
EDIT: see my other post, one of the older updates contains a full system image
I've been using for about 2 months. And had it repaired once, 'coz of screen issues. They sent me a new one. Very nice! Just the color changed from silver, originally, to grey, otherwise is fine.
The battery is good. It could last longer, if very much, when compared with N7.2013.LTE. The new Intel Atom looks very promising. But as you all know, there's no google play store. So I left it sleeping in the drawer.
New Play Store APK available. Just in case can anyone test it on the device?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996995
Hope it now works ...
It does not work.
It installs normally, but closes when I open it, just like previous versions. The problem is that play store/Google play services need some special permissions that need root. So no root = no play store.
Just need to wait for the international ROM to leak for this thing. The problem is Nokia is taking it's sweet time to release this thing anywhere else....
Here is an instruction how to install Play Store (and Play Services) on Chinese version of Nokia N1

Thanks a lot sadfrog_lin for right link
Great Thanks social-design-concepts for Tools and working solution !!!
This was successfully done by me on A5CN507 build. IMO it should work the same good on other versions of Lollipop, but I cannot promise anything.
Prerequisites
I assume that you have Intel Drivers up and running http://opensource.dell.com/releases...ition/FlashTool/IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe
I assume that you have adb/fastboot up and running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
I assume that you have usb debugging enabled
I assume that yu have a basic knowledge how to use these tools
Installing GApps
Download GApps from this thread. I have used Nano version for Android 5.x, direct link here.
Copy it to your sdcard (any method is fine, but adb will do: adb push <filename> /sdcard/).
Download and extract IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015.7z.
Connect N1 via USB and run launcher.bat
Type ACCEPT (all capital) and select T4 method.
N1 should reboot and do a lot of things, then you should end up in temporary CWM Recovery session.
Choose install zip (volume up/down + power to select) and find and select the previously uploaded file.
After it finish reboot the tablet
Final fixes
After reboot you should have initial selection of Google Apps (including Play Store) installed. However Play Music will crash on start and GMail won't work (Play Services crashes). The reason for that is that GApps package is probably not fully prepared for x86 - but now you can simply fix it.
Go to ApkMirror and install Google Play services with -470 suffix, it is Lollipop x86 version (on the time of writing this the newest version was here ). Now both Play Music and GMail should work correctly.
An another issue is that Play Store reporting some apps (like Chrome, Google Maps, Google Earth, Chromecast, etc) as incompatible with the device. It probably could be fixed by hacking build.prop, however I haven't had time for it yet. The easiest method is to download them from ApkMirror and side install. Drawback is that you won't get autoupdates for them.
Enjoy!

After the installation, a few days later I found out that there was an update for N1. I could not make the update successfully. Probably the GAPP issue. So in the end, we still need the Taiwan ROM so far. So that the system update can also be made.
I installed GAPPS, but disabled root(in SuperSU's settings). I can run the OTA update (A5CN51C) successfully.
After the update, "google service is stopped" appears again. I think re-flush GAPPS and SuperSU is needed.

Hi Guys,
after the issue with the update I started replacing new files with the originals from the previous update. I've checked md5 of every file I used and compared it with update script from the new update - so I'm sure every file was correct. Actually everything was working fine with these original files.
However after the update I got a boot-loop. If I remember correctly it was something abt OpenGL in logcat. I was not able to run recovery by pressing volume up and power, but since adb was working I did it via adb. I came with an idea to clear user data. That was mistake!
Now I still have the boot-loop but developer mode was disabled by cleaning the data. My plan is to reflash with A5CN507 which contains a full system partition image. To do so I need to boot into recovery or download mode.
Do you guys have any ideas how to boot into recovery or download mode if volume up (and down) doesn't work?
Thanks in advance.
Can confirm the boot loop. I was able to get into the CMW session again and tried to restore the backup I made before installing the gapps but CMW got stuck while restoring the system partition.
The device is now stuck in the "Powerd by Android" screen, any help is warmly welcome

Thank you,
I tried that, it didn't work - it says "waiting for device", but it waits forever. As to the Fastboot Tethered recovery launcher, this time I used the one from Jul, 27, before I had an earlier version. Could it be that the older version would work, but not the latest one? It does recognize my device, but it says unauthorized, although it OEM-unlocked and USB debugging is authorized. Thanks for any help.

I will be posting a complete guide about Google play store for your Chinese Nokia n1. Tried different methods and finally got it right. Keep waiting...

Can't wait for that! :good::good::good::good::good::good:
A week ago I flashed the current (lineage-14.1-20170504-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip) lineage os nightly to my phone. I did not pay that much attention til I realize the impact, so no guarantee for the temporal order. I am pretty shure, that in the first place, I tried to flash the image via the update menu (is this called OTA update?). The previous update two weeks ago already results in partial data los. By this I mean some (maybe all) apps disappears after the update, but after installing them again, all of them provided the pre-update data - only exception was signal. This time the phone was like in factory state. But when I try to reinstall the telegram app - the app store refuses to install the app because of the presence of a identical named app.
Using adb shell shows me, that all apps and data where still present in the /data subdirectories. Even those I didn't had reinstalled til that time . So I took advantage of momentum and backed up some files and decided to perform a full pre factory reset formatting everything twrp let me format. After flashing the lineage update, another full format because things seems still weird, second lineage nightly flash, realizing I have to first flash OOS-x.y.z and a final third lineage flash, I thought I finally obtain a running system. After initial configuration I decided to only copy my previous wpa_supplicant.conf file back to the system. Since overwriting this file while running android didn't led to anything, I tried to replace this file in recovery mode. Instead of remembering my password, goatish oneplus 3 desides to perform factory reset.
After what seems to be a lower six digit number of flashing attemps I came to the conclusion that performing any modification to the file system while the native kernel is not running results in factory reseting the device. In the mean time I also figured out what dm-verity means - an error message I got used to and maybe a nice feature as long as you don't try to take your old config files to a new system. And I know I am the millionth person facing that problem in a dedicated thread, but I found nothing which links this annoying boot loader message to my reset problem.
I made my previous recovery attemps between the toilet and my bed, so I hadn't any strategy at all. But thank god its friday! I read: dm-verity is a feature of the device mapper which guarantees data integrity. When I alter the data using any other than the native system, the device mapper notices the integrity violation and reports to the system. I am only guessing that this makes the system to reset itself - Am I right? Even if I appreciate this concept, I think this might be a little too ambitious. Can I alter androids behaviour in this point? In the best case I want to temporary disable this feature, do some root stuff and turn it on again. Is this possible?
I could follow one of that numerous tutorials to remove that dm-verity message, but I am not confortable with flashing zip files from dubious file hosters as well as copy-pasting commands without any idea of what I am doing. So maybe someone could provide a little more information than the seven step recipe of getting rid of that error message blog posts.
I really appreciate material which explains my problem. I am quite new to android and I didn't figured out how to maneuver around all these google results which tells me to install a specific app which may will hide my problem. So thank you in advance.
