All Answers :

1. I charged my device 1 time, what happened is RED notification light was flashing. I know that when battery fully discharges, then on charging that RED notification light flashes.

I tried booting it several times removing battery connector earlier and today also. My device always vibrates when I pressed power button for 1-2 second.

I have to disconnect battery connector to start device again and then it vibrates after powering on. I do this because I can't see on screen anything and digitizer is not working. So removing battery connection and powering on again is the only option for me.

So about connecting to computer, it shows connected to nexus 5, in service center it shows the same thing. I created pattern lock for my device. So I cant access it connecting to computer, after powering on device. I enabled usb debugging earlier when I rooted and its still enabled. And already set up adb on computer. But I can't access, see this image below:

In service center they inserted their sim and called my device it was ringing loudly. So I don't think sim tray is damaged. I tried it now also and its working.

2. Yes unlocked bootloader, and rooted with stock rom and TWRP installed. See the image, I tried adb from command prompt it says this:

3. LG service center, I tried LG Service Center in Dadar, Mumbai. Which is near to me. I will try now Lower Parel Service Center.

But what should I tell them??? Came here to replace LCD + front housing ?

4. So what come under this "RMA",

5. What things they covered under warranty? can they provide free LCD?

because in US they are providing free replacement for screen? Why so? and why not in India?

6. Will definitely file a complaint against them in LG Regional Office.

Google should listen to my complaint because its their mobile.

7. I went to bootloader by holding down Power Button and volume down button, but I cant backup using adb, (adb backup -all), some error came up. May be because of pattern lock.

8. Professional help? Where I can get this professional help?

9. Great you also live in Mumbai. Are you using nexus 5? Did you opened your device? If you opened your nexus 5, can I try your Front housing and LCD (in front of you)?

I tried LG Service center in dadar. And will try service center in Lower Parel.

I mentioned in that lengthy post, after water damage, I removed water with hair drier and with the help of rice, I also mentioned there was only problem with screen. Everything is working perfect except screen. Then my mistakes made screen damaged fully.

Is there any method for removing pattern lock using adb in bootloader mode? Using command prompt only?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Will you just talk straight to the point and post in brief.

And go directly to the And hero LG service Centre. They are the best and have all the spare parts. They are more experienced than others because all my friends Nexus 5s were repaired in a short time over there. Good luck.

And for your fantasy there is a glass wall between you and the service Centre guy, so basically you can clearly see what he is doing.
[Nexus 5 General] :
buddy I went to LG service center, I know they have original parts and all are experienced. But they are telling me my Motherboard is damaged. But only my screen is damaged. And they are not replacing it even I am giving them full repairing cost. This is what we call "service" in India. And there is no glass wall, there is wooden wall between me and service center guy. And they don't allow us to go inside. That is what frustrated me.

They are telling me that my motherboard is causing some problem for screen. I told them I will try myself you just give me the front housing with LCD and digitizer. I was ready to give amount. But they said that we can't provide such mobile parts to you. I said that I need only one for my mobile. But they don't agree on giving parts.

Will try next service center in Lower Parel, Mumbai

If you have a custom recovery installed, you can push and retrieve data from your device via custom recovery irrespective of the phone having a pattern lock. Try to push something to the device using "adb push" and see if it gets loaded. But then again, you'll need the correct screen on twrp.

The fact that "fastboot oem device-info" shows that the bootloader is unlocked, it means that they haven't swapped your motherboard and it's the same one which you had submitted.

RMA covers manufacturing defects only not arising from physical damages.

Yes, please file a complaint with LG regional office.

No, you're wrong. It's not Google's mobile. It's a LG device and Google has nothing to do with manufacturing the device. They only load their software in it and provide RMAs for devices sold via Playstore.

You can go and complaint, I won't stop you. But there's no point in it.

You can not run adb commands with Bootloader. You need to enter recovery.

By Professional help, I meant from LG or a well known Mobile repair shop where they can test your motherboard and replace the screen to check whether everything's alright. But then again, you'll need to shell out a few extra bucks for it.

Nope. I haven't opened up my device since I'm not a hardware guy and I don't want to void the warranty :eek:

I have taken a backup for Textra using Titanium Backup. How can I restore it? I have flashed the image for 5.0

I have copied the folder where the TB had created the backup.
[Nexus 5 General] :
About right time . Titanium Backup updated to work on Lollipop!!!
[Nexus 5 General] :
No they did not changed my motherboard, because 1 white paper, small circle shaped, was damaged by water. And this was the only thing on motherboard to prove its mine. So they didn't changed it. Not to worry much now :)

What should I include in complaint? They don't have email id or something I can contact online. They only have contact numbers. Can you provide me some better info about LG regional office in Mumbai?

Do you know anyone well known mobile repair shop for LG and best LG service center in Mumbai?

Okay buddy. No problem. I opened up device because of speaker problem.

Hey and how one can know that hardware warranty is void?

And one more thing buddy. If motherboard is damaged, how could it ring if someone calls? how can alarm ring? and how can it show on computer usb "connected to nexus 5"?

I have problem I am switching off my device and it's restarting on android l from yesterday I have this problem
[Nexus 5 General] :
Please don't use system data for backup and restore, it will definitely crash all system apps.

Use for user apps only.

You just have to goto batch actions and select restore. This will do it all.

just like you did for backup.

Restore options: Select restore all (or as per you selected for backup action)

Try flashing it again. May be something went wrong while flashing factory images or you did some mistakes. flash user data also.

Use this method (Link below). If you tried something else.

[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Thanks all. Actually I was not able to copy the backup from computer to the specific folder in phone. I copied it to another folder in phone and used ES Explorer to move them in the TB folder and Voila! it worked! :good: :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] MakDroid:
Flashed franco kernel? It has been reported that usera can't switch off their phone when they select power off. Instead, the device reboots. Well the solution is to download r68 again and then flash it. Franco has re-uploaded r68 with the fix.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You should tell what happened with your device and how the service center people treated you in resolving the issue. Here's the contact number and email id: http://www.lgmobiles.com/contactus.htm

You can also call 1800 180 9999(Toll Free) and tell them to forward you the number of the regional office which I believe is in New Delhi.

I don't understand why you're asking this again but water damage is considered as a "physical" damage and hence the warranty is void. If you try to dupe them by saying the screen isn't damaged, it's illegal and a fraud. It's really up to you how you proceed.

Well, I know a couple of repair shops in Malad area since that's the place where I live. But I don't know whether they fix such high end smartphones. If you want, I can give them a call and ask.

If you can receive calls and hear the alarm ringing, it's most probably not an eMMC (flash chip) issue. However, it could be the component on the motherboard which is connected to the LCD/digitizer.

These service centers don't touch the motherboard itself. They just replace it as they're instructed to do so. The only thing they replace (if damaged) is: Flex cable, charging unit, Power/Volume buttons, camera module, sim tray and the LCD/digitizer. I know this because I've replaced these things on other mobiles through a service center. If anything else is damaged, they just state it's a motherboard issue and replace the whole god damn thing.
[Nexus 5 General] :
My screen is damaged by water, and more damaged by me by opening LCD, till this point my motherboard is working fine. And I can prove them wrong if someone can provide me working screen. Motherboard is working fine.

I will definitely tell you what happens further, till that topic closed. Will take some help form other nexus 5 friends.

Thanks for all your help.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
In any case, the fact of the matter is that these Service Center guys say what they're instructed. If you're confident that only the screen is damaged, you can buy it from eBay and replace it yourself.

However, just imagine what you'll do if the replacement screen doesn't work as well?

Good luck ^_^
[Nexus 5 General] :
I am confident about it screen replacement.

But buying online will not guarantee original or not get damaged by itself.

Yes, that's what I mean to say, so buying new Nexus 5, trying its screen on my old nexus 5 it is the only choice left for me. :( :D

Thanks (Y)

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Does it restart when you go to bootloader as well? If so, it's probably a stuck/faulty Power Button. Apply some pressure and try to move the Power Button and see if it fixes it. If not, then you'll need to claim warranty.

Since Google has stopped sending brand new devices in RMA, it's best you buy from an online retailer with cashback options. Amazon keeps dropping the price of Nexus 5 every now and then.

I am planning to buy nexus 6 but not sure whether to buy from play store or flipkart....

Please suggest..

Obviously from PlayStore..I bought my N5 from playstore and RMA'ed it 4 times..If I have bought it from flipkart,amazon or from anywhere else,I would have been found in LG service center always :P

Just kidding..Buy it from PlayStore..maybe it will cost you more than that of those online stores..but customer service of google is what make you happy always :)

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Google has stopped sending out "new" units a long time ago (may be 3 months). Many people have reported they've got refurbished units. Someone had reported the same in this thread also.

If you're lucky, you'll get a new one "now" but most of it are refurbished units. When you RMA the device, what do you think happens to your old device? Do you think they throw away the non-defective parts? :p After a certain point of the Phone's life cycle, the production decreases and they start issuing refurbished units for people opting for RMA.

Guys ive been facing weird issues with my N5... Everything was going great till i tried to use fix permission in twrp... It led me into a bootloop so had to wipe everything... Then i tried restoring apps which went fine and installed busybox through the app... I then tried to restore whatsapp data and it kept saying restored but WA kept crashing... I then uninstalled it... Trying to reinstall said couldnt be installed... Also files didnt show up in es nor mtp... So again had to reflash everything... And thanks the ****ty fu*ked up lap i had each reflash takes an hour... After that i tried to copy all the files back to memory card through twrp's mtp function... And booted... There was some kind of write protect on it... No idea why... Couldnt delete the files that i transfered through recovery... So i went into recovery and wiped the internal storage and then booted up to find theres no nav or status bar and cant access storage... Again i had to wipe the data and everything after taking my data backup to find i cant transfer the backup to storage... It kept saying file too big... I had to move it to another folder then use twrps inbuilt file manager to move it into the root and restore... Now everything seems fine... Im on elemental x undervolted to 700!!! Is that ok?!? Also at one point titanium backup said i was low on space...

Is there something i did wrong?!? Also no sarcasm jokes or other craps... I need a proper answer... Also i havent slept... Started yesterday at 10pm and finished just now at 4 pm...

My battery sucks on lollipop
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
I recently initiated my RMA process for my black 32GB nexus 5..They told me that they dont have stock for 32GB Black and told me to choose device according to their playstore stock..I checked on playstore and told them to give me *Refurbished* black 32GB as my first priority was black one..but they told me 'Google Play dont give *refurbished* device *here in India*' so I will have to choose Red or White one.. I chose red and I am having it now..its incident after Diwali..So I think if devices are in stock..they will give you new one after RMA..

If they give *refurbished* devices after RMA..they could have easily given me black refurbished one.There will be no such issue as *Black refurbished device not in stock* bcoz black N5 were RMA'ed cause of early issues such as 'rattling' 'dead pixel' etc..so refurbished stock should be there..

[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
Stop using twrp for fixing permissions. It doesn't work right for lollipop, instead leads you to a bootloop, interrupting the boot might cause your SD card corruption, that's when twrp asks you to decrypt storage or inaccessible storage.

If all is working fine for now, then I guess your good to go. But if you do want to set things right again, flash the entire factory image, preferably using the flash all script that comes along with the factory image including the stock recovery. Go to stock recovery, factory reset and complete your first boot. Once everything works fine, flash twrp, root restore all your backups. Do not use fix permissions or any other unnecessary functions on twrp atm.
