[Q] Flashing CM12 over converted XT1032 to GPE 5.0.2 topic

Hi there,

I have had a long search through both Q&A and the General forum but I can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.

I converted my stock XT1032 to a GPE and then OTA flashed the 5.0.2 update onto it (not via a sideload but via the OTA updater in settings). I found that then trying to install TWRP recovery via fastboot (both 2.8.1.0 and 2.8.4.0) I could access the recovery once I had installed it but there was a wavy line passing through the screen from the top to the bottom and when I restarted the device to try to get back to recovery I could only get the stock one.

I am unsure about the safety of flashing a new ROM onto this recovery due to this.

I think there may be a problem with the gpt.bin file as I had to flash this fix when I updated the 4.4.4 GPE to 5.0.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...86&postcount=1) to get past the Google logo.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem? I am on the 41.18 bootloader if that helps.

I would really like to be able to flash cyanogenmod onto my device (I just love CM it's so much better than stock IMO) and some advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.
