Help no commands

So ive tried to do what is says to recover the device. Its a nexus 5 with a dodgy button that was stuck in reboot for a couple of hour. Can get into recovery mode but it says theres no command files? What do? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :

Working really well even in these days ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rockafellor:
thanks im waiting for it =)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] irhut:
Thinking about it I also did not have the option to select "Yes" when it says "Select yes to unlock"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
I am totally ditching the insecure bootloader and going for a simple recovery root.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rockafellor:
Kwongger is uploading a fix. Version 1.3 should be online in some minutes

thanks [MENTION=5241452]Kwongger[/MENTION]

Sorry mate but the zip is corrupt. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
yup! I have 8.1... That's what little testing I can do w/o the device has been on :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kornklown69:
sweet with previous phones I've had issues with 8.1 and fastboot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:

Thanks mate work like a treat:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
AWESOME! :good::highfive::laugh::victory::cool:

FYI: Unbricking tools and Restore tools will be included in 2.0 released Tommorow.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hand76:
I don't see 1.3.1 in changelog.

So can this unlock bootloader, add the official twrp and and root your existing rom with supersu?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Yes, Yes, and YES!!!

Also... I'll updtate the changelog tommorow... Kind of tired right now lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hand76:
And maybe it's me but I can't even find the download link lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JCreazy:
Click the downloads tab and the top of the OP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jejehtc:
Download tab

To download the tab should put the forum in 2013 version this function, at the bottom of the page this function changes the presentation of the forum and you will see the Download tab

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
Hey, my Nexus 5 just arrived and i have a few questions, because i had an s2 before and never touched any bootloader.

To use this tool, i have to boot in fastboot (vol down + power), then run the tool, right? And can i first just unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, then make a nadroid backup and root it later, or do i have to root it first?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Didn't think of that. Mirror is going UP!

Root is Optional BUT, Don't boot into fastboot first. Start booted into android like the kit says! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ItzMar:
Great work dude! My Nexus 5 came just now at my work.

Any chance the 2.0 version will be up by the time I get home in around 4hrs? :silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Maybe!!! It will be up in about 4 1/2 if you can wait!!!

Review it once you use it! I think this DevDB thing is freakin awesome.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Mirrors are now in Post #2 ;D

Sorry about that. Didn't even consider that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ItzMar:
Fantastic! Will get home, make some coffee and refresh your thread! :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
CLick the download tab or go to the 2ND post for a Mirror.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
Yes I did
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
Hi,

when I choose unlock bootloader, it says twrp MUST be installed. So i have to choose first "install twrp", then "unlock bootloader", and then i can go into recovery and make my nandroid backup?!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
So sorry about that lol

Just ignore that it's a typo, I believe that it was fixed in the new version.

Unlock , TWRP, Then Root.

I will upload v2.0 in 30min.

Sorry about that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Any chance you could make me one?

:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Someone posted this in the Q&A section. Hope it helps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Thanks... This'll be fixed in 2.0 that'll be up in 25mins
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
2.0. Uploading now

Added restore features.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garbsener:
cool, my restrictions are gone xD

So, first of all, thx for the new version, cant wait to test it... because the Version 1.3.1 is not perfect too...

after correcting the unlock command my phone is now unlocked and i installed the recovery, but if i want to root it, it shows me the message

failed to copy supersu.zip to /data/media//supersu.zip: permission denied

i tried to correct the capitalization to SuperSU, but it didnt worked and i dont know so much about all this to know what went wrong... could you take a look at this?

Thx!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Just copy/paste for now... I may remove the push... Kind of pointless
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garbsener:
then how can i root it? i would like to have all steps included in the toolkit... idiotproof ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Follow the rest of the instructions... Just copy/paste and flash in recovery. Pretty idiot proof. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
Sure can, what would you like in place of the Moose, or do you just want it without the Moose?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigant262:
Is there anyway anyone can give me the drivers for the Nexus 5? They don't want to install for some reason, and I can't get the fastboot drivers to work either for some reason.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
My Profile Pic okay?

That would be AWESOME
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
The drivers are included in the kit :D Installation Instructions are in the kit as well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garbsener:
well, looks like i (or your toolkit) did something wrong with the twrp installation... i only have the robot with the red ! if i start the recovery... could you help me how i can correct this plz?

btw

adb push supersu.zip /data/donwload/ should be

adb push supersu.zip /data/download/ (the directory is wrong) ;)

(but still push doesnt work, i copied the file to the sdcard, but now i have to fix the custom recovery)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
yeah, send it to me: robert.elg@gmail.com
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tintin1892:
Thank u for this toolkit. Being my first nexus phone I was a little worried when reading about all this sdk and fastboot and using terminal.

Only been used to my sgs3 and using odin.

So when I have used your toolkit will this mean i can just flash kernels and zips with the recovery or not.???

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
Thanks for all your work! But i have a problem: with 2.0 i unlocked the bootloader, and if try to install twrp everything seems fine. But when i want to boot in recovery, there is just the little android with a red warning sign. Any ideas what went wrong?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Reflash TWRP and if that doesn't work then restore and start over.

That's common with nexus'
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
YUP! everything through recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garbsener:
flashed the original file from here via command line

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2511507

now it works and i can start installing supersu ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Sweet!

The nexus is touchy lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _MetalHead_:
Am I the only one who can't seem to find the download link for 2.0?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] oo03sjw:
At the top of the thread there is 6 tabs - discussion, screenshots, download etc. Click on download.

HTH's
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Click the download tab on the black bar at the top of the thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Welcome to the TOOLKIT portion of the program!

OPTIONS 1 AND 2 ARE BOTH REQUIRED FOR ROOT.
OPTIONS 3
'4' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I believe this is where you are going wrong. come on, dont get lazy.
[CODE]ECHO OPTIONS 1 AND 2 ARE BOTH REQUIRED FOR ROOT.
ECHO OPTIONS 3^&4 (coming soon) ARE TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY.

review my nexus 5 toolkit if you need help... also a 445MB file? whos gonna download that for a few options? there are other ways around this...

let me know if you need help!

PM me or contact me on gtalk Ricky.divjakovski@gmail.com
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rosswaa:
there isnt one! and now my phone wont boot -_-
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _MetalHead_:
Found it. It's because I still use the 2010 theme, there are no tabs for it. I had to switch to 2013 and they popped up. Thanks guys.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rosswaa:
okay the downloads are there, could have just posted a link! if you were in front of me right now id punch you in the face just for making it difficult!

and to top it off your tool doesnt work properly and just fail, had to do it manually.

thanks anyway
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _MetalHead_:
Wow.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rosswaa:
recovery image isnt working or something says failed- to many links or something
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
The 445 megabytes is for recovery (stock) images. I'm at school right now so I'll check out the option 4 error when I get home.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ItzMar:
Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Driver issue. Reinstall the drivers

Thanks that was needed! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
ofcoarse its for factory images, but theres other ways around this, ill let you read over some code when i update my nexus 5 multi-tool to show you how to avoid the large file size
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vs0587:
Unlock bootloader, flash twrp and root..... These function wipe the device?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rosswaa:
lol sorry mate im having a rage! good job on getting the kit together im angry at the dam phone, would be so much easier if the battery could be pulled

i cant flash a system recovery, i cant boot my phone properly i might just smash it xD
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] enfxuevsi:
YES I can post here now. All my praise. Rooted, unlocked, with recovery. Only minor issue was the recovery but after a restore it went through no problem. The on-screen guide steps were great. Keep up the work friend.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CrashTestDroid:
It's probably worth mentioning on OP that this is Windows-only.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
I have also problems with recovery. you did a out-of-the-box restore with the toolkit?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dirtyfrog:
I managed to unlock no problem, thought the recovery had gone over correctly too, but when I tried to root I got the red exclamation mark android. Booted to bootloader, ran the out-of-the-box restore. Again, all seemed to work correctly, but I'm currently hanging at the initial boot after restore - the four coloured dots have been dancing away on my screen for a good ten minutes now. Not sure on next step...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vs0587:
.............. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dirtyfrog:
Unlocking the bootloader wiped the device for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] enfxuevsi:
I did indeed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I have been messing with my Nexus 5 for hours now. I can't for the life of me get adb working. I'm unable to place any files on my device from my laptop, because it won't show me my device unless I put it in camera mode, which only shows me my pictures folder. I'm lost and close to chucking this thing
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dirtyfrog:
I've got into a pickle with mine so can't tell you these screens exactly, but in settings go to About Phone, scroll to bottom, tap on the build number 7 times - this will put your phone in developer mode. You'll now have developer options, go in there and look for USB debugging. Enable that, authorise your computer on the popup, and you should be good to go.

*USB Debugging might be under Security, can't remember right now
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Already did that. This isn't my first nexus, which is why I'm getting so frustrated. I've never had any of these issues with my 4.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] enfxuevsi:
Assuming you've not fixed it, boot into recovery, wipe user data. Restart :3. I think I had that same issue while playing around to get things working before it all went smoothly the final time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I unlocked the bootloader finally by using this tool. But I it won't install TWRP, and I can't root since I'm not able to place supersu in my download file on my device, due to my PC not reading it correctly
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
Never got image, but here is a default one for anyone that wants it:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ridg-droid:
Mine failed on the recovery install too, to fix it I downloaded TeamWin recovery from their site, booted into fastboot (hold volume down and then power on) and used the console command to send the recovery.

Otherwise awesome tool!!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Keep trying... Like I said earlier... The nexus has always been a touchy creature.

Sorry about that, I am at School and don't have access to my pc I'll email it when I get home in 2hrs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jimbo2412:
Followed instructions. Everything went fine now stuck on second splash screen for 15-20 min. Tried factory reset with tool that did not fix. Any ideas.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] spookytay:
Could possible be USB drivers

Might be the driver's you have installed. Same thing is happening to me with my Nexus 7 (2013). My work computer acts the same way as your's does, but plugged into my home pc, works like it should. I haven't had time to figure it out the problem on my work pc, but I'm assuming it's the USB drivers or conflicting USB drivers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Try the reset again.

If that doesn't work try to boot into recovery.

Then adb sideload a Rom.

adb sideload Rom.zip /data/media/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dirtyfrog:
The day they invent kissing through the internet, you're getting a big ol' smooch from me. That cracked the bugger, thank you - doing this allowed me to perform a factory reset, now sat ready to go through Android setup once more.

Cant find the Download for 2.0.1
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 918273645ams:
Hi so I tried to install recovery, though it worked. Went to boot into recovery and got the red exclamation point thing. Okay, went back to fastboot. Tried the restore to out of box thing thought it worked, it is still on the splash screen after a good 5-10 minutes. I can get back to fastboot. What should I do from here??

please help me! Im really freaking out :\
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jimbo2412:
Adb sideload says failed each time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 918273645ams:
I cant get into any sort of recovery only fastbooot. Also I already unlocked the bootloader..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ant_thomas:
Managed to get rooted etc before the download finished but I'm currently seeding the toolkit on a dedicated server so hopefully it'll be a bit quicker to download for others via torrent.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 918273645ams:
Can someone PLEASE help!!!!! Im going to have a god d*** panic attack. I can't boot my phone, cant get to recovery. can only get to fastboot PLEASE SOMEONE!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
my tool should fix this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ItzMar:
Is it ok to use this tool out of the box on first boot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jd1639:
It's ok to use it first. But personally I'd boot the phone, play around with it, and make sure everything is working first. I probably wouldn't put any apps on it until I made a nandroid but that's just me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 918273645ams:
It doesnt even detect my device though will it still work

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

SOMEONE GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT direction im literally freaking out
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Install the drivers. THAT is your issue. THEN do the restore and stuff.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
make sure you have the drivers installed..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Reinstall ADB drivers while in sideload mode. That should fix it. Also, you need to dl a custom rom to do this. I don't include one.

then try

adb sideload rom.zip /data/media/

Thank YOU! That's great ! :laugh::highfive::good:

Yup. I said that already. Don't you have your own toolkit to manage? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
For me it worked installing twrp manually after i downloaded the whole android sdk and installed usb drivers from there: https://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
could say the same with you, also its what does helping someone have to do with managing a tool? :L for someone who uses 445 MB to include 4 maybe 5 options in their tool, i think you need to manage yours better.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the_grobe:
I was able to unlock the bootloader with no issues. TWRP didn't work, so I restored to stock (based on advice in this thread.) Now my device is just stuck in the boot animation, and I can't seem to do anything to fix it. I've restored a couple times at this point, no luck.

Any advice?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Those are the exact drivers that I included :D

Sigh...... C'mon really? I am not going to go tit for tat with you.

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Try to get into TWRP to sideload a ROM.. Instructions above.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vs0587:
This tools doesn't seem to be 100% safe........... :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] enfxuevsi:
Same I gave earlier in the thread to the same problem. Wipe user data in recovery then try booting normally again and see if the set-up screen shows. I had the issue myself and this was the only step I recall taking to escape the dreaded orbs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the_grobe:
I still don't have TWRP successfully installed
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
your right, okay bigshot, have fun ;)

ill let the bigtime batch developer get back to his work :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
I must be blind because where is the download link? I don't see the latest in post 2 and nothing in the OP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Click the tab at the top of the thread. :D

If you don't see it switch xda's theme to 2013
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bazzawhite:
I had issues with the recovery included in the toolkit. I basically went and downloaded the latest version of TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-hammerhead.img from their website (google it). Make sure you have fastboot.exe in a folder move the recovery file to the same folder. Run "cmd" from start menu in windows, navigate to the folder with fastboot and recovery and whilst the phone is connected via usb and in bootloader screen type "fastboot.exe flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-hammerhead.img". Reboot phone into recovery using the volume keys/power key and voila all sorted. Then flash SuperSU to get root access.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Ughh, must be a new feature I found it. Going to seed this baby now with my 20mb upload connection.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Thanks for the fix! I remember figuring that out on the n7 2013 lol TOTALLY SPACED!

I'll start letting people know.

Nexus devices are usually touchy, I have no idea why lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the_grobe:
NM guys, I fixed it.

Hadn't tried installing TWRP again since the wipe, because I was focused on actually getting it to boot. TWRP succeeded this time, and I was able to fix the issue from recovery.

This tool is definitely not for people who aren't comfortable troubleshooting.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Buddy3927:
Black line near top of OP has Discussion, Screenshots, Download, etc on it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Thanks! Every little bit helps. Once you get used to DevDB it's really cool. Post a review once you use it porfavor!!!

Umm... Yeah, that's what my toolkit does for you. :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
Yeah... It's kind of a Nexus thing.

I will post more info in the kit in v2.1

Also, how'd you fix it? Just wipe user data correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the_grobe:
yeah. I'm currently experiencing a new issue... all of my apps force close when I try to open anything. lame.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
I'd like to apoligize. XDA is a community not a marketplace and I have to remember that we ALL need to work together. I get competitive. SORRY!

BTW, I'd like to see how you keep your's small, does the kit just dl it itself?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kwongger:
That is SUPER weird. I can say that I've NEVER seen anything like it...

My advice would be to restore and wipe userdata again see if that helps :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theorioles33:
For anyone having issues with "waiting for device" or "device not found" this is what I did to fix it.

With your phone plugged into your computer go to device manager, right-click on Nexus 5 under "portable devices" and click uninstall the drivers. Then click "find hardware changes" so it finds your phone again. Find the Nexus 5 with the "!" on it under device manager. Right-click again and click "update drivers", Navigate to the drivers that you can download from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top

From there Windows should load the appropriate drivers and program will now see your device. This worked for me. Hope this is clear and it works for you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Am I blind? I download directly and unzipped but I dont see the instructions anywhere. Can anyone direct me into how to properly use the kit? Thanks!
