Guys im looking into a bootloader fix, wether I go through with it or not is a different story, but first things first, I need someone with a bricked N5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] oupavoc:
To bad just fix mine!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] _ice_:
wtf! tried reverting to stock and now im stuck on bootloop! wtf do I do?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
wipe data factory reset in bootloader and you will be good to go :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Preview of the tool on device, not sure if im gonna be able to get this up and running, not even readopt is working but we will see!

​
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brooklynchildxbc:
how do you do that
[Nexus 5 Android Development] anthonyly:
Would say unlocking boot loader but all it did was reboot my device?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Datsun.510:
Guys if you did option 6 (Revert device to stock state) and once its finishes you are stuck at a bootloop on the animation screen then do this:

If your phone is on the power it off.

Press and hold Volume Down and now Power until the device powers on

You will see the word Start.

Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.

Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.

Press Volume Up.

Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.

Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.

That should do it.

I just have Android with red exclamation no options to factory data reset how?

Can I root the phone without unlocking the bootloader (and effectively resetting my phone). I don't really want to run custom roms or tweaks, but I do need root access so I can load TiBu and a few other apps.

Just curious, how does this "support Mac", exactly? All that's in the zip are Windows files, and your instructions are to run the .exe in Administrator Mode. Macs don't use .exe files or have that mode. :rolleyes:

Just an idea for anyone having a < waiting for device > problem, or any other problem.

Do not use a USB 3.0 port.

Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port if you're using a USB 2.0 cable.

In the past I've tried to use a USB 3.0 port and got similar issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
actually its not a problem with the device or port, its just.. a nexus thing? :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] capcanuck:
Also I meant to add this last night.. After CWM didn't stick the first time, I flashed it again, but instead of letting the phone automatically reboot back into Android, as soon as it started to reboot after flashing the recovery, I held volume down and power to go strait into the boot loader then straight to recovery, and bam... It stuck..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bsmith0731:
Just wanted say this phone is amazing on standby. My battery percent won't move at all at night. That's leaving wifi or data on. I'm really starting to love this phones battery life.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] the.titan:
I never know whether I'm being too picky, but I've just bought an XDA Exec and would like to know whether mine is sub-standard or if other people's XDA Execs are just the same.

Overall, the build quality seems to be pretty good, but I find that the casing "creaks" really annoyingly in a couple of places :

- around the IR port on the front edge (I tend to put my thumb on while opening it, which makes it a bit annoying), and

- on the corner next to the pen slot (which gets pressed when I'm pushing the Exec into the protective case).

Finally, the screen seems to me to be a bit slow re-orienting itself when I switch between PDA and laptop modes.

I know these kind of moans are bit of a boring subject, but I would really appreciate some advice from other owners, so I can either get fussy with O2 or put my mind at rest!

Thanks a million.

Stephen :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
I am using a Jasjar jus for your info.

There is a very slight noticeable creak with the IR port but nothing near the stylus.

The reason why the switching of orientation is very long is usually attributed to the number of today plugins installed. Also, if there are plenty of programs running in the background taking up a lot of your program memory, slowing down may occur.

I DONT THINK YOU HAVE A DUD.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] judders:
No creak for me, but it is slow'ish switching from landscape to portrait when there's lots on the Today screen. Cutting down the number of icons should help considerably.

BTW, after atempting to run with the O2 Active install, I opted for the Corporate install and much prefer it.

Hope that helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Corporate mode, install GSPMagic+, disable error reporting (settings) and disable beam (also settings) and you should see improved speed on switching. I have a slight creek from the tight hinge of the camshell, which I don't mind.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumbi2400:
Hello All,

I just got my Ouya a week ago, and so far so good. As many of you know Ethernet > WiFi on this box, however some apps don't want to function over Ethernet. In this case, the 4od app is WiFi only. This is particularly annoying since I'm hardwired to the network. My question is, is there a good way to spoof the Ethernet connection as WiFi? I've been doing a little research, and if we had a working bridge.ko, and brctl, it may be possible to do this.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 4 General] peikojose:
Dear friends,

I am used to so many options from custom roms that I went back from 4.4 to my 4.3 NAND backup.. :(

I made a list of the things that keep me using custom roms (SlimBean ATM):

* Volume rocker wake.

* Color control (Stock colors are too washed out).

* Brightness control (Stock auto brightness is too bright).

* Battery optimizations (Lower maximum frequency, cores online, etc).

* Easy way to change 2G/3G

* Easy way to enable or disable mobile data

* Easy way to enable or disable rotation.

* Easy way to reboot into recovery.

What about you? What options keep you flashing stock ROMS?

Can I get that with exposed framework? I am not used to that but have heard a lot about it.
[Nexus 4 General] dodgebizkit:
Personally I like the stability of the stock rom but maybe one day I will try paranoid android or MUIU, or perhaps cynogenmod, who knows? Sometimes I fancy it but once you flash a rom, getting it back to a completely unmodified state is damn hard.
[Nexus 4 General] Khant:
no it's not. you just run a .bat file and everything is back to stock. all the factory images here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 4 General] Stejer:
It's really not hard. Maximum 5 minutes of work with any toolkit available for N4 and you can be just like out of the box. :)
[Nexus 4 General] nonione:
or you could just nandroid backup your stock ROM and restore afterwards

anyways, nowadays custom ROMs are pretty much for tweaks you can use like the ones OP listed, it wasnt like that back in the pre-4.x days where lag was all over the place

maybe thats why i see more 'i still havent rooted my phone' users on xda these days
[Nexus 4 General] lordress:
Me, my biggest concern is the battery. No rom can even close to PA+FauxKernel not even the stock

Volume.....the main reason

...volume on the stock ROM is too low smh

[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyGusta:
You forgot great ones like pie controls, kill all apps bottom, quick pull from the right/left of the status bar to get to the quick toggles etc
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
I don't really miss much custom roms. stock rom + circle battery mod + 4way boot + franco kernel (smoothness + colors) or stock + franco + gravitybox gives me everything I need.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
except trinity kernel, which beat out faux kernel in the battery benchmarks thread :p
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
I use custom ROMs because they afford you a better level of customizability.

At the moment i'm using CM10.2 M1 as it has enough ways to customize it how you see fit without being burdened too much by useless extensions (useless for me, you are welcome to have a different opinion of course).

What I need most are the toggles in the statusbar-menu, as these are merely links in stock versions of Android, never could figure why Google didn't make these into real toggles.
[Nexus 4 General] Gjohnson7771:
I go custom rom for Battery, LTE and overall customizations. I also really like being able to backup my device with Titanium and automate with Tasker. Although I have been thinking lately about going back to stock so I can run a work email app that won't function on rooted devices.
[Nexus 4 General] peikojose:
I forgot also the dark theme (like SlimDark).. And the CM keyboard (with longpress in all Keys)
[Nexus 4 General] jelle2503:
Xposed framework is awesome. Use it on stock rom, with a few modules to get every feature i need.

[Nexus 4 General] FrameCityJackal:
I really hated the nav buttons that's what kept me away for so long(plus I was on sprint) and I loved pie but now I'm used to the on-screen nav and with 4.4 it becomes even less of a issue.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Yup. It's the little things like that I need before I can make my N5 my daily driver. Is the Google team just too prideful not to add these things?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyGusta:
nav bottoms will be a problem to me no matter how transparent they are they are still there and take too much space on the screen.

pie controls are so much better they are fast, responsive and very customizable
[Nexus 4 General] X-Ter:
I really like the stock, except for the battery. I don't use my N4 that much which is a good thing because I don't think I've ever got much more than 4 hours on screen time. No matter what I do with my phone, screen on time is always constant at around 4 hours. By how much do you guys think I would be able to increase that if I used a custom rom? Battery is the only reason I would do that.
[Nexus 4 General] dodgebizkit:
When people have a decent but skinned / laggy device (like s3) they try so hard to get a stock nexus experience... When people have a nexus they try so hard to get a different experience.. Pretty mad world :P

Pewnie, ze stock :) Of course it's stock, just slightly modified ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Dassin4:
Most of the stuff listed in the OP can be accomplished on the stock ROM with root / custom kernel and a few apps.

Many kernels support this and can be adjusted with something like Trickster Mod or Franco Kernel Updater.

I use Lux for this.

I use Franco kernel plus for this.

I use Power Toggles for these.

Quick Boot works great.

I am eagerly awaiting Xposed to be updated for 4.4 because yes, much of the customizability of a custom rom (including advanced reboot menu and customizable quick settings toggles) can be achieved through Xposed and its modules, most notably GravityBox.
[Nexus 4 General] slugger09:
I've used custom ROM and prefer to stay on stock, for me its a matter of choice, custom gives you better battery life and more tweaks/options etc, but then there is a stability issue, or you can have OK battery life and stable on stock
[Nexus 4 General] howard bamber:
The days of NEEDING custom ROMs has gone. Kk is fine. Kernels are another thing. They are rubbish (stock) it was like a new phone when I put matr1x in. The colour is amazing and the sound, lifted from faux123s

Xposed + GravityBox gives me all of those, and can be disabled at the push of a button if there is an OTA update.
[Nexus 4 General] fahadsul3man:
CyanogenMod 11 here the nightly is.rock stable and offers better experience than stock with xposed module.
[Nexus 4 General] krrunch:
Why don't you give the slimkat 4.4.2 beta a whirl? It may say beta but the stability is amazing and fine for a daily driver ..

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
I have a Motorola droid razr m model XT907. It's rooted and GSM unlocked. I'm using it on Straight Talk currently. Verizon is pushing this 98.18.78 update which I hear unroots the phone. I want to know which of the verizon apps I need to freeze or remove to prevent this update.

Thanks in advance
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Just a heads up, you posted in the Razr HD forum, but no big deal the procedure will be the same for both. When I was running stock ROMs, I would freeze the updater.apk in TiBU to prevent OTAs. However, the new update is rootable with Motochopper 1.3, but you can't unlock the bootloader. If I was in your situation, I would unlock the bootloader now, take the update (for the improvements it offers), re-root it, and unlock it for GSM again. Once your BL is unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed, all you have to do is flash SU in recovery to regain root.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
I thank you for the answer. You make it sound so easy,. However, I needed step by step instructions to get where I am now. Can you point me to some to do this? I've unlocked the GSM a couple of times using CellZealot's post. That's no problem. I have titanium backup to freeze the updater.apk, but what is TiBU? I'll get Motochopper in the meantime.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
Duhhhh, I just figured out what TiBU is.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
If you don't want to unlock the bootloader and want to take the OTA, then root afterwards, you can find Motochopper 1.3 here:

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...oot-razr-m-xt907-for-locked-devices-on-91878/

If you want to unlock the bootloader, look for Motopocalypse here (you'll need root access for this, so unlock prior to updating. The OTA does block the ability to unlock the BL, but does not block the ability to root):

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Template:Motopocalypse

Once you unlock the bootloader, look for the TWRP thread in the Development section, there should be instructions, along with the file you need to install the recovery. Once TWRP is installed, get the updater SuperSU .zip and flash it in recovery and you will re-gain root. If you want to update after unlocking, you can take one of the several stock ROMs running around here and flash in recovery.

SuperSU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Long story short:

- You can stay as is, by just freezing the updater.apk

- You can OTA and re-root with Motochopper 1.3

- You can unlock bootloader and re-root afterwards.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
Thanks again. I'll work on this tomorrow and post back.

No probem, let us know how it turns out.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
To add to this, if you unlock, you will permanently be able to root...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
Ok. I have the bootloader unlocked. I downloaded a rom from here. It's been cleaned up of bloatware and stuff. I have SuperSU and updater SuperSU, but I dont know what to do with it. I also installed TWRP manager. I need just a little more guidance.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Ok, so first, you need to disable the install-recovery script. I built an app to do this (YOU GET TO BE THE FIRST TESTER YAY!)

Install this app: ftp://kd8rho.net/RecoveryFlasherDisabler-public-test.apk

Choose "disable install-recovery"

That will (theoretically - can't test cause my phone's rooted and ROMMed) allow you to install a custom recovery without any hassle.

Once that's done, follow the installation instructions in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226729, starting with this line:

You won't have to boot directly into recovery because that app *should* fix that for you. You can boot the phone normally after installing and run something like "adb reboot recovery"
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
I downloaded and installed your app. When I ran it, it said the installer was found, but disabled. moving on to step two now. Thanks

Hello. This is way off base but does the update fix the screen glitch? Are there any roms that will fix the glitch?

Thanks in advance!

Xt907 JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT! *BE BLESSED*
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombolt:
The screen glitch isn't fixed from the update. It might be better. I have a hunch the new radio isn't good for customers with unlimited data in areas with 4G coverage. My phone seems more eager to switch to 3g after the update. Besides that, I can't tell this update foes anything positive. It would be nice to use fastcharge while powered off but for some reason my device will not turn off while it's plugged in. It used to turn off and charge, then one day it quit working. If my battery is low enough and I turn the phone off the green light glows solid for s few minutes then the xt907 turns itself on. Can I downgrade to the previous radio or am I stuck with the new 3g friendly radio that presumably serves Verizon's purposes and not mine?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Yea...all I did was flash the radio and it feels like I'm being throttled now that I have the new radio...still on the.3/.78 just with the new radio... I'll try and flash the old radio here in a min ... Are you on an unlocked bootloader?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombolt:
Unfortunately I am locked. Bought the phone *right* after the may update. I migrated from the droid incredible, which has an open bootloader I believe. So it's been pretty rough after having that phone!
