[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] deDante:
Awesome Tool

work like a charm when I unlock and root my device using this tool, also restore it to original firmware and relock, very nice toolkit WugFresh, just found trouble when updating bootimage and recovery, but fix it with manual download.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Do I have to uninstall first in order to update to the latest?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
No.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
v1.8.5 released. Made lots of things better, especially the driver the config. Check out the changelog for full details: wugfresh.com/changelog

Updater package is live as well. Enjoy! ^_^

Wow this tool is awesome!

Does this really fix bootloops and semi-bricked?

Hmm. Will check out.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I can't reproduce this error. It works for me. Can you provide me more info. What version of windows you have installed? What's your default web browser?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madLyfe:
im on win 8.1, default browser is chrome stable. i will restart the pc here in a second and see if something got mixed up in the update and post back for you.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Never mind, I know what it is. It's a windows 8/8.1 issue. I already had coded a fix for windows 8 numerous versions ago, but had yet to implement the same logic statement to account for windows 8.1. I will fix it in v1.8.6. You are running Windows 8.1 right?

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madLyfe:
ya im on 8.1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Ha, looks like you posted this just as I figured it out. Yup - windows 8.1. I know exactly what the issue is. Just coded the fix, it will be corrected in v1.8.6 - thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Cheers.

Hi all

Is it possible to use the 2.2MB update that would take me from KTU84P to KTU84Q or do I need to download the entire 400MB or so package and do it that way?

I don't want to go and update the entire lot if I can get away with just doing the minor update.

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
Did i download a broken version of the installer? I am on 8.1 Pro as well. Earlier versions of installer used to point out to C drive or give an option to change the installation directory now it installs in the same directory where the file is run from without giving an option to change the directory or pointing to C.

v1.8.6 i had downloaded from Android Host

EDIT:- Now i downloaded from mirror link dev-host and the installer is working fine points/gives an option to chose the directory to be installed. Strange

Restore not working

I backed up using the Full Nandroid option on v1.8.6. 3.xx gb file.

Wiped the phone then sent to the restore button: All options to restore are "greyed out" except for Skip Checksum. WTF?

Now I have to completely rebuild my phone for the next two hours. Is there any fix for this?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
If the backup was 3 gb, you should be able to restore it no problem. When you click restore, it should ask you to select the folder which contains the nandroid. Maybe you selected the wrong folder?

If the backup was really small, that would be a red flag, but it sounds like you did everything right. Hit me up on Google hangout chat if you still have problems. Cheers.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Don't download the updater version. That's what the toolkit downloads to auto update and it extracts to the current dir. It should be hidden on androidfilehost but I think it still shows up in trending/hot files.. I need to tell them to always hide that file.

Always download from the links on my website.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Updated links on my webpage with new mirrors, and new direct link. I think I may have linked the updater package by accident before.

v1.8.6 update

updating trough NRT v1.8.4 success, thankyu Wugfresh, very helpfull toolkit...

for people have the missmatch hashcheck problem please check your internet connection, I have this problem sometimes when my internet low...IMHO...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jackylim:
That's what I get. But I try few time it's still the same. Don't know what to do now.

Thanks for advice
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Just grab the full installer and install it over the old version, it will work the same. Just make sure to force close any instances of adb.exe if its running first. I designed the installer so this would work.

The inconsistencies with the downloader is due to changes being made at androidfilehost. They are upgrading certain infrastructure and need to update their api to accommodate the new configurations. I spoke with them yesterday, they are aiming for an update this weekend. Cheers.

LPV79 Recovery Unavailable?

Just trying to download the recovery for LPV79 and i kept getting mismatches via the Toolkit, then i tried manually on androidfilehost and i'm not finding it either. Only seeing 4.4.0 thru 4.4.4 and LPV81C...no LPV79. FYI.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Stock recovery? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567713340

Download issues are due to changes they are making. Hopeful it will be resolved soon.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] getsome831:
Yes, stock recovery. But the link above appears to be to the stock kernel instead?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Totally my bad. Looks like I never uploaded the stock recovery files for that build. I just corrected it now. Perform a toolkit update to get the latest masterlist, then you should get the valid link. Cheers.

hi there

in order to run a temporary recovery, the bootloader has to be unlocked?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Thanks so much to you great dev of this very awesome toolkit!

I'm always encountering "check internet connection" when in fact I always have a stable one. So shall I just always reinstall? Do I have to delete first the currently installed wugs toolkit? And any other?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Check you firewall/AV - its probably blocking Wug_updater.exe

shared data is apps + apps data without system apps?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Philomorph:
Fixing the "update package missing system.img" error

I too recently ran into this and the fix was to run the toolkit as admin. I'm on Windows 8.1, so the rights of programs to use stuff under the program files folder is wonky when it's not admin. I redownloaded the image multiple times, including directly from Google and nothing worked until I did this.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lrm537:
Can't remember if I tried that our not. Although that's one of the first things I would usually try. In the end I got it to work by enabling the force flash option in the toolkit settings. I've just left it that way since then.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Noted. Shall I disable as well my antivirus every time I will use the toolkit even when the files were already downloaded?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
If you AV is falsely flagging NRT executable then disabling it would fix it - but a better solution would just be to add an exception to your AV to not block/quarantine any of NRT's exe's. Most AV's have a simple way to add exceptions/whitelist-files. Cheers.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] razorlove:
man, you rock. this got me to stock and was able to root again. amazing! thank you for this!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DaSmittyman:
this is awesome to unlock but I am having issues going back to stock. When I add the tgz and hit type in the hash the screen goes back to the tool kit and waits for more input. I did the check to make sure the device is talking and there isn't an issue. Any suggestion?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
what do you mean "waits for more input". Can you clarify. Also, have you tried reinstalling the toolkit, and/or checking your AV - it may be falsely quarantining/blocking NRT files.

You shouldn't have to enter the hash, it should already be filled in. Right? At this point the toolkit should recognize ever official tgz released. What factory package are you trying to flash? Can you give me the full file name or link, so I can try it.

Cheers.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Shared data is actually supposed to backup 'sdcard content', but for whatever reason it seems to do a bad/incomplete job. That is why the toolkit recommends to just manually copy+paste stuff from your sdcard like pics, music, etc (or use a cloud storage sync).

The only adb backup that is recommended is without system or shared checked.

Cheers,

Can the latest 1.8.8 version root the 81C Android L version of nexus 5 from the root/unlock option in the menu or do i need to use the following method http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/root-android-l-the-easy-way-0155902/ ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, it roots it. It's not fully automated (requires a manual step in TWRP), but it walks you through the steps and flashes the correct SuperSU. Once google releases the official L, the root will be fully automated.

I think that guide was posted by wonderhowto like the moment L was released before I updated things. Cheers.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
So when the official android L comes out, we have to wait first for your awesome (undoubtedly) update? [emoji4]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Not necessarily. In the off-chance that the latest available SuperSU by Chainfire works to root official L, then you could root it with NRT via "Any Build" mode (requires a manual step in TWRP with onscreen instructions). All I would have to do is update the masterlists with that latest SuperSU version (and upload it to my dev dir on androidfilehost) which I would do right away. That said - there seems to be a trend where new android versions always manage to break su in someway, and elite devs like chainfire have to dig around to fix it. We won't know until it happens.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] skrypj:
I just flashed my 32 GB N5 back to stock KTU84Q(but didnt relock) and it appears to have reformatted the SD partition as a 16GB model. In both the storage settings on the phone and when navigating using windows explorer I only see 12.5GB total space(ie total space, not what is left available). Anyone else have this happen and what did you do?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pkelly517:
Although I've only seen this complaint on the 16GB model showing 8GB, a factory reset would fix it.

Now's the time to try it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skrypj:
Yup this worked. I actually flashed L preview LPV81C before you posted this with no luck. As soon as a did the factory reset it worked.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Did you try factory reset? May solve internal storage issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skrypj:
Yes I did and it did work. I also noticed later that there is a message box that pops up during the flashing process that tells you this may happen and to perform a factory reset. I must not have been paying attention the first time.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Oops. Sorry I didn't read the latter parts... Anyway, it was because of that pop up that I was able to fix internal storage issues on twrp recovery.. But then I discovered it was due to the system mounted. This toolkit really is a savior in everything nexus 5 related.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brooklyn718941:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ArkAngel06:
How about the rooting option?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] marf28101995:
Root doesnt work... To flash...download the image from Google .. In toolkit set flash stock.. I put I've download myself the factory IMG... And select the one you download

Working great
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PeteGraham:
Agreed - today's L Preview build, root does not work...

Would it be better to raise this under SuperSU?

I have installed manually from CF's website using TWRP and when I check, the system shows I have SuperSU installed; however when I try and grant access to anything (adb shell su, busybox, adfree etc) it just loops. Granted permission. Waits. Granted permission. Waits.

Cheers

Pete
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
I have. If you are impatient you can use "Flash Stock + Unroot" with other/browse, and enable force flash mode in the toolkit options.

It works.

v1.8.9 will be out today though. Very soon. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Root does not work with the current SuperSU 2.13. We must wait on Chainfire.

TWRP installs as you would expect it to.

NRT v1.8.8 is safe to flash LP preview.

Force flash mode is recommend if running KK.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kenpen:
I have not used the tool kit to install the l preview before.

Anyone have instructions on how to do this....noob friendly
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brooklyn718941:
Have you ever use this before??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] parkson:
Anyone know if there is still a Mac version in the works?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] MrBiggzz:
How can I recover to where I just rooted when something goes wrong

Hello!

Device : Nexus 5

Android : 4.4.4

Unlocked - Rooted

Running Xposed Framework

Carrier : Sprint

Network type : CDMA

I've run into this very interesting problem the past couple of weeks and it has to deal with the baseband drivers on my Nexus 5.

The first incident was unknown what cause it. The problem was when my device connected to my homes wifi that it would loose carrier provisioning and want me to select a carrier. Turning off the wifi would not help as I could not connect back to the carriers network. In the end I had to flash stock and re-root.

Second incident similar but really strange was I would loose the ability to make outbound phone calls. I would still have full data, texting and inbound calling abilities. I did some googling and from what I read there is a bug in the baseband drivers at level M8974A-2.0.50.1.16. I would have to go through this process of switching the device to 1x then reboot the device. Once rebooted wait for it to connect at 1x (2G) and then check to see if it's really there by placing a call. It successful then switch from 1x to LTE and check again. Works, sure does but if the device is rebooted or the battery is depleted then the entire processes would have to be done over again. Solution was to flash stock and re-root. These is my second time doing this.

I think I've nailed down the culprit that is stepping on the baseband drivers and it's the xposed module XGELS. I don't know why it would since it only manipulates the launcher capabilities. But once I go to restore my previous XGELS configuration the phones outbound calls would no longer work.

My main question is this, with the expense of some space is there anyway that I restore the device so that it is fully functional without having to flash stock. Obviously once Android 5.0 is release in November my problems will be solved since there will be upgraded firmware included.

My other option would be to find a better baseband radio to use. I've seen some threads about doing this but is appears so intimidating! This is the guy that for years was horrified to root my phone and now I have I feel good about it! I'm really surprised that this bug is known about and has not been patched by Google. It's a random bug too! I had run with the same set up for along time and it happened all of sudden but its almost more ominous that XGELS was updated on October 12, 2014 and this is about the same time I started having issues.

Ideas?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
I flashed L thru fastboot. I used wugs to install twrp. I couldn't match hashes on twrp so I downloaded and added. It asks for stock kernel download, click on the link in blue that it shows, hit apply, it will then install twrp, takes about 3 minutes. Then I went to the op of vomers L preview, grabbed the flashable boot IMG and super 2.14, flashed thru twrp in that order. Profit
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MrBiggzz:
Easier said then done! Cause I didn't understand most of it! I'll wait for L to come I just don't need this unwanted behavior of the device.

Like I mentioned before I know there's better baseband radios out there. Just don't know where to get them or how to introduce them to the device.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yup. I may automate this tmrw as a temp fix, but as of now with NRT:

Flash 5.0 with flash stock + unroot

Advanced utilities > flash (permanent) 'boot' button > flash that mod boot

Then root with "Any build mode"
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Actually, it was very easy. Its like returning to stock, but using L image instead
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kenpen:
Nice.. I will try when I get home. I used wug to flash L preview. Then notice I had no recovery anymore, as expected no root.

Thanks for sharing your steps
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lotherius:
EDIT: sigh n/m.... this wasn't the problem I was looking for.

Looks like it works, but other developers (looking at YOU TiBu) still haven't bothered to update the market version for L... have to head off to twitterverse for an update. How... 2006.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
No problem dude. Hope it works for you as easy as it did me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pkelly517:

Storage problem

So I flash the new Android L to my N5 with Wug's NRT without any problem.

I appreciate if you guys share a way to fix it.
