I can not boot anymore

I would like to recover my 4.4.4

I use v 1.9.3

Then I receive the confirmation of flash.. and then a dos command open with

EOCD not found, not Zip

error: failed to access zipdata in '

and fastboot.exe crash with a close program.

EOCD not found, not ZIP, error failed to access zip data in ' and then a lot of crazy characters!!!

:confused:

What to do now?? Thanks

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

I also ungzip and untar 5.0 and I have picked Soft-Bricked

Other/Browse and I did this already and I pick the folder "hammerhead-lrx21o"

This time I have the message

The factory package flashed was detected as different from what you were previously running

Previously 4.4.4

Auto detection report 5.0

Which is strange.. I never installed 5.0 yet!

ANY Help please???

thank you
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
No. And the toolkit can already do that. That is what force flash does. It flashes the images individually. It is the recommend solution for errors during flash stock.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Try enabling force flash mode in the toolkits options menu and trying again.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zorro3210:
[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] When I do select force

When I click on the folder hammerhead-lrx21o I have

AutoIT error

Line 21258 (File C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\NexusRootToolkit.exe"): Error Variable used without beeing declared

And NRT quits!

When I click and remove the force, all is back like my previous test (The factory package flashed was detected as different from what you were previously running)

:(

I want to root LRX21O what is the easiest way? tnx
[Nexus 5 Android Development] blahquader:
Just read a view pages back, dude.

Use Chainfires Autoroot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zorro3210:
I gave up with NRT :(

I did it with SDK tools from Google and it worked ok to 5.0

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Laggalot:
I cant hold myself back anymore! I used this back in the to root the n5 and install a custom recovery .... Whats the process to get lollipop? (i dont mind losing data but root is a must and custom recovery aswell) step by step would be awesome ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
I believe Wugs updated it, but easiest way I found was flash the factory image, each separate image file individually, and then use the updated version of CF-Auto Root to gain root. After that flash a recovery image of TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] inspeckta_dek:
Is flashing the official image through this kit working? Don't care about rooting out just want to flash it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drkalo:
Yes. As long as you download the TGZ file, just point it out with Wug's tool in the "Flash Stock+Unroot" section.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lownita:
It doesn't. There were upadtes to fastboot and adb six days ago, maybe wug has to update those?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drkalo:
Well that's exactly the way I flashed my N5 and N7 2012 few hours ago - using Wug's tool.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Laggalot:
how would I flash eachone seperate? Download the original image and unpack it? how to flash then? buaa ^^
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
Yeah unpack the bootloader and radio images, then unpack the zip file within the .tgz file that contains userdata.IMG system.IMG etc.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Enable Force Flash mode in the toolkits options menu. That's what it does.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thank you for the info. That shouldn't happen. I will make sure that is fixed in v1.9.4. In the meantime, do it again, but use Other/Browse, and point the Kit the tgz you download from google and see if that works with force flash.

Hi [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION],

This is my first time using your Toolkit, and I really like it. I loaded the 5.0 factory image on my N5 but when I try to open SuperSU, it says "no su binaries installed." Any thoughts on how I can fix that?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] betodroid:
I installed the factory image of android L,but how can I root this ?,the program shows that the newest build is LPX13D...

Awesome, donation sent!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Franco has solid N5 Kernel which supports SuperSU flash:

https://plus.google.com/106873500108976028532/posts/ECQgD6x4yjD

So with NRT you could use Advanced Utilities > Flash (Permanent) 'Boot' button and flash his boot.img

Then use "Any Build" mode to "Root" your device.

In the toolkit options menu enable "update to beta versions of SuperSU to get the latest beta su for L"

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rahsaanabdul:
I'm not really sure what we would do without you :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Laggalot:
So I flashed everything manually( selecting boot, bootloader etc) . I then went ahead and set up root which worked aswell... but then I realised I only had 12.55 gb of storage. ( i have a 32gb version) I tryed factory reset and wiping data and cache... ( on TWRP)

Any advice?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pimmen:
i cant quite get my nexus 5 on the recently released android 5.0 rooted, i installed stock and everything but when i run the root script i end up with a message on my device tellin me binary SU isnt installed.

also the program doesnt autodetect the correct build, but it selects any build.

the exact same method worked on my N7..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
There's a thread about that I believe in General. I think the solution is to first try clearing cache in stock recovery and if that didn't work then factory reset/wipe data in stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
SU Binaries won't install

Dude I'm having the exact same problem. I've unlocked and rooted many a Android device, and I can't figure out why these binaries won't install. Does it have something to do with this kernel? I tried with this toolkit, and by following this guide and still nothing. Anyone have an idea, please?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paztine:
cf auto root

You can try cf auto..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
Thanks but I did try that... a couple times to be exact. I thought SuperSU was included in that auto root batch, but I guess not. So I download it from the Play Store and then the same failure happens. I just tried flashing the Beta 2.19 or whatever in TWRP, and that didnt work either. I know this is a new OS and all, but I've never had such an issue rooting a Nexus device.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Why won't this work for me? I STILL get SuperSU telling me it can't update the binaries!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Laggalot:
Omg HOW can i flash stock recovery? I literally tryed everything!

edit: my Recovery seems dead! When i try to open it all i see is a Red dead Android ( I even tryed flashing the whole image)

edit2 : im dumb ^^ I just didnt know how to start the stock recovery... xD
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
Use the UPDATED CF-Auto Root utility to gain root access. Chainfire released an update a little over an hour of Lollipop's complete release. Then use fastboot to flash the recovery image of TWRP 2.8.1.0.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
Where is this updated one? I can't even tell which one I'm using...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nedooo:
if you are rooted try:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en

oooops sorry too fresh systen unknown partitions...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
I already have TWRP flashed on mine. I downloaded the recovery image and fastboot flashed it.

Check the attached screenshot. Has link and shows where it's at on the page.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GaryMick:
In the WugFresh toolkit it might automatically be selecting your android version as 'Any Build', manually change it to 'Android 5.0.0....' and try root again. This worked for me earlier and i had same problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nedooo:
Wug tool can do it automatically :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nivakis:
I think I found a bug:

I used the toolkit to make a full nandroid backup on 4.4.4. When, as many did, I failed to root the 5.0, (all hell broke loose in my case*), I reverted back to 4.4.4 via toolkit and tried to restore the previous backup but:

1) The toolkit kept pushing only a few of the backup files resulting in TWRP error messages. Even some of the files it pushed became corrupted (MD5 hash fail in TWRP). Only when I manually copied the files to the phone everything was OK.

2) After the file copy, twrp temporally loads and the toolkit says it's waiting for the restore and reboot. However, It just does nothing, I had to manually select the restore and file nandroid backup.

*I used the toolkit to root but had the same problem as many did (binaries error), Or so I think, as supersu was in my native language and it said something like: "There was no superuser app found and supersu could not install one. If you just upgraded to 4.4.3... etc etc". Then I used the chainfire method which somewhat worked, a few apps got su rights while others did not. Also the screen went kinda mad, apps where running on their own accord, I was trying to do something but something else was happening like the phone didn't know where my finger was on the screen and a lot of other stuff... -_-
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
You're right, it is doing that. But when I manually change it to 5.0.0, it pops up a window telling me that my build is incorrect. Should I 'continue with original build selection'?

EDIT: I tried that, still didn't work. Same binaries error in SuperSU. I think this is probably the hardest time I've had getting root, in probably 30-40 devices. And the ridiculous part is that THIS IS A NEXUS!! Yes I know Lollipop is new, but the DP has been out for months and a Nexus device should be the absolute least difficult device on which to gain root.

Sorry for going off a little bit, but this has got me a little more frustrated than I typically allow.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
I did it before he had the toolkit updated so I didn't trust myself enough to use it yet lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
OK I just tried even Franco's kernel... and even THAT I can't get root! What am I doing wrong? This BS isn't worth it for the new OS. Normally I like a little bit of a challenge. But I'm gonna have to go back to KK cuz this is bordering on obnoxious!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] marf28101995:
To all having problems

1 flash 5.0 image (force flash enabled )

Hii Wug and All,

I have a problem whit a root of my nexus 5 16gb:

Im using:

Android L 5.0 v. lrx21o

NRT: 1.9.4.0 (all update ok)

SuperSU: 2.19

TWRP: 2.8.1.0

I follow perfect (including all pop-ups) the procedure ( factory reset too, busybox too) to update to 5.0, root and recovery;

Before update to 5.0 I did: TWRP factory reset, clear all data chace .. .. ..

At the end:

1) I can not write in the system;

2) Quickboot not reboot into recovery, bootloader .. ..

3) SuperSU, to boot does not display any error;

4) TWRT start perfect only between key combination

Help me please.

BePPo.

I have my Nexus 5 encrypted - and use a pattern instead of password/numbercode. When trying to root I am asked to enter pattern various times, but on the loader/twrp (I think) I cannot enter a pattern but have only normal keyboard. So root is not successful. Do I need to disable the pattern and use a passcode before rooting?

It happens after booting twrp step - while saying:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
Last night I went back to 4.4.4 because of this binaries issue. I figured I'd wait until someone had a flashable, rooted zip available. Then today I see that the toolkit has been updated to 1.9.4, so I figured I would give it another go. I flashed a LRX21O zip, and the 5.0 GApps. Then I rebooted, started NRT, made sure that LRX21O was selected as the build. I then clicked Root, and let the toolkit do its thing. At the end, it gives you the pop-up telling you what to do with SuperSU and BusyBox, and I attempted to do so however SuperSU wasn't in my app drawer! So I go back to recovery, and flash 2.19 manually. Boot back to Android, still not there. I also tried 2.14 and 2.16, and neither would show up. Only when I installed SuperSU from Google Play did it show up. I run the app, and of course get the prompt to install the binaries, which STILL FAILS!! I'm seriously about to use my N5 for target practice!!! I would be eternally grateful for any guidance on this!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madbat99:
Why are you flashing gapps? Stock Roms and factory images all have gapps already don't they?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
Thanks for the reply, but I flashed GApps because it said to in some step-by-step I looked at when I first started. I don't see how flashing GApps during or after the OS install could affect ability to gain root access. If I'm wrong, please enlighten me! Thanks

When update for n4 factory?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
Well I guess I'm the only dumbass this doesn't work for, and nobody seems to be able to tell me why :( I've never wanted root so bad on a Nexus device before. WHY wont these binaries install???????

In the last 36 hours I've tried more NRT's, kernels, radios, lollipop installs, supersu versions, auto-rooters, I've cleared caches and dalviks, clean flashed and dirty flashed... tried different TWRP's, messed with settings, and rebooted my phone 200 times. Nothing I do allows these binaries to install. Am I possibly posting in the wrong forum, maybe that's why no one is able to help me? I posted here because I'm using NRT but if this is the wrong forum, please let me know!!

EDIT: Just tried running CF Auto Root, and it FINALLY WORKED!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] marf28101995:
Did you follow my guide step by step ?

Do you have the drivers working good ?

Try another usb cable and port ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] IrocD:
Yes, all those things were correct. And to be honest, I did so many things in different orders that I'm not sure what fixed it. I just know the last thing I just did was run the CF Auto Root again and it finally worked. I had done that many times, however so I'm sure it must have been something I did before that that allowed it to work. It's too bad because while I'm glad I have root now, I wish I knew what did it so I could possibly help someone else!!

I know this horse is tired of being beat but you guys should really learn how to use cf auto root ie Google, YouTube. A couple of days ago I had never used it before and I'm not a noob. The day after the lollipop image was released I couldn't take not being rooted anymore. CF Auto root took about 15 seconds once the necessary files were downloaded.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Your solution is correct. ADB sideload mode is another mode that may not be configured by default. By configuring it there, you get that new adb access for it to perform sideload operations.

I will try and make a better message about this in the kit.
