Thanks mate. 2.19 beta is working fine for me. I just want to know if wugs has all the master lists updated so I can reflash stock and clean up using this great program :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes 2.19 beta is in the masterlists.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GamerGuy80:
I have a question.

My phone is already unlocked. I had flashed a lollipop rom made by bigxie on here and flashed franco kernel and supersu to get root. If I wanted to use wugs toolkit to do a clean install. Do I need to flash back to stock and unroot, and if i do that do can i flash stock lollipop and then reroot?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rahsaanabdul:
If you do a clean install it will wipe everything so yes you will have to unlock and root again with a clean image install.

thanks for the reply. so i have to oem lock it back correct. also do i flash back to the original android 4.4 kit kat from when i first got the phone or can i just flash stock to current lollipop?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rahsaanabdul:
Correct. You don't have to flash back to Kit Kat. You can go straight to lollipop. Read all the prompts that pop up as they are important. The process from start to finish isn't long at all.

im having a problem. I install all the drivers accordingly and i go to step 4 to run the test. when it says rebooting device into bootloader it doesnt go into bootloader it just reboots the device back to system and i get an error. If i retry the test and when it says rebooting device into bootloader i hurry up and hold down the volume down button and it goes into bootloader and then the test finishes with a success. why wont it go into bootloader on its own? Im thinking of just trying to use the toolkit and then just force it into bootloader by holding down the volume down button but im afraid it may brick if i do it that way or will it still work?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jazz__75:
Resolved: NRT was ok: the problem was of ESFile Explorer non compable whit Android 5.0.

But now have other problem:

I have used SDMaid Pro for clean system and application: lost root ....... oookkk...... I will reinstall stock and reroot but can you tell me how properly configure SDMaid Pro for NOT LOSE ROOT again??

Is rooting giving 4g issues to anyone? My nexus 5 worked fine before rooting and after I don't have connection all the time, like I used to. I used both the developer preview and the official release and I have the same issue with both after rooting. I've tried to reflash the radio, but the issue persists.

Anyone has any clue as to why this would happen?

Thanks,

Mathorlaz
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Thanks dev! So since it will only download and install the stock image, can I confidently assume that it won't have any issues like the"flash all bat" flashing? They say it won't flash all the img files :)

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Isn't it due to lollipop rom? I didn't install the preview but now I'm on official lrx21O. And yeah, lte won't work as it used to in kitkat so I changed to 3g instead of "lte recommended". And my 3g connection is real fast.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
So I took the ota, am totally stock but unlocked. Has wugs been updated to root stock 5.0 and flash latest twrp?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rickyq12:
I was having connecting issues to my LTE also, but this is what I did...maybe you should give it a try as well...

Settings-

More-(under wireless & network)

Cellular Network

Carrier settings-

and

Update PRL

Update profile

After I did that, it was all good to go.

Hope it helps
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NCguy:
Wugfresh, just curious do you do the kernel patch like Chainfire as part of the 5.0 root on the Nexus 5?

Also, article from android police says stock rooted 5.0 devices will no longer take stock OTAs due to the new way google verifies changes at the byte level rather than individual files. Can you confirm this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Rooted and installed twrp on my stock 5.0 like a champ!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mathorlaz:
Thanks for the replies guys! I'm on the European version, and there is no option called "Update PRL" or "Update profile", so I can't use your suggestion. I'm going to try having to preferred network on 3g today, let's see if it works ok.

Sorry Wugfresh, for this off-topic, I love your tool, it's extremely simple and functional, I use it every time I need to root or go back to stock on my Nexus 5 or Nexus 7. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Just I bought N5. I will reserve it after a few days. So this method will work after i do update to 5.0 ! Or better did it with 4.4 first.

Off-topic about the 3G-4G problem:

I had a problem with 3G - it didn't work after update and root (Nexus 5), while when swithching to 2G everything was OK. Don't know whether root or Lollipop is the source of the problem, as I didn't check mobile connectivity between firmware installation and rooting.

Also found the following thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26970821/mobile-data-is-not-working-android-lollipop-on-nexus-5.

But today (after cache and dalvik cleaning and several reboots) everything seems OK with 3G. Unfortunately, I don't have LTE - so, can't test it.

Am i right..?

or the flashing of stock image + unroot lock bootloader again??:confused:

If you have already unlocked then u dont need to unlock again after flashing the stock.... Just root it if u want....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eelpout:
First time using NRT on my Nexus 5, everything worked fine on my Nexus 7.

This may be a dumb question, any idea why using "Virtual SDCard" Backup nor an outright pull of /sdcard/ with NRT isn't actually pulling the *entire* virtual sdcard contents on my rooted Nexus 5 on 4.4.4? All it ever get is "Android, data, DCIM, Download, Movies, Pictures and Ringtones" directories and their contents. None of my other files or folders in there, like TitaniumBackup are pulled. Now, I can do an explicit pull of /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ and that works, but I seem unable to get everything from the card in one command like I can when I run adb on my Mac. Is there a permissions problem? Maybe it's the recovery I'm running? Maybe the recovery I'm running matters? I have CWM 6 .0 something..

Thanks in advance (and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this).

Is it safe to root 5.0 right now? Any issues?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NCguy:
I think you'll have to at least flash the stock bootloader when it's time to get the next OTA. That said there hasn't been an OTA for 5.0 yet to my knowledge so I suppose there could be more surprises?

If it were me, I think I would also use the latest superSU beta to avoid app problems. I'm hearing it appears to be pretty stable.

[ASK]

my phone is now unroot and running 4.4.4 KTU84P,Kernel 3.4.0-gd59db4e,CWM 6

I got an OTA Update to 5.0, but after try to install and reboot, it just stuck on the recovery (CWM)

".... signature verification failed..."

and bcause now i think the problem is CWM, i rly want to make the recovery back to stock

can i use this Kit ? if yes , please tell me how to do that

or maybe do u guys have some better options for me ? i just want to get my Lollipop asap :D (and without wipe data,if possible)

Thanks guys

Got same problem tried installing custom recovery and got stuck on root kit restarted phone and it didnt even root
[Nexus 5 Android Development] russlowe73:
If your gonna use the toolkit to get back to stock KK, why not just use it to flash the Lollipop firmware?

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

In any case, to flash the stock recovery, launch advanced utilities, go to Boot/Flash Image, select flash ( permanent), recovery.

I've just received the OTA. I'm trying to root my Nexus 5 again, but I can't.

I'm using Nexus Root Toolkit and I'm trying to get root access and flash TWRP. On the last step, TWRP requires a password. Ok, my Nexus 5 is encrypted. But... I can't decrypt through TWRP. What am I doing wrong?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] RevoWution:
The NRT is a godsend.

Unrooted and flashed stock Lollipop 5.0 my 4.4.4 N5 this afternoon, then re-rooted right after. Everything worked perfectly without a hitch. Just updated the missus' N5 now too. Make sure you tick the "no wipe" option if you want to keep your user data and settings.

The hardest part of the entire process would be setting up all the necessary USB drivers. Once you've figured all that out, it's smooth sailing from there on.

Thanks dev!! :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnabelmartie:
Thanks mate. I just pressed start in the bootloader for it to boot up and all were okay. But it happened again when I unlocked the bootloader. All flashes successfully but device won't boot automatically.

Also, I had issues when my device won't get detected from the start as well as in fastboot mode so I had to enter such manually. Unplugging device and plugging again to the laptop (same usb port) and also usb to device vice versa worked. So I'm thinking if my USB cable is now busted. It's okay when charging though. Btw, I uninstalled first 1.9.3 version with the folder wugfresh in program files deleted and did a clean install of 1.9.8.

Another is I made a back up in twrp but when I was about to transfer to laptop, there was no twrp folder but can be seen in twrp recovery itself...

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] im a noob to the inner workings, but when you use a custom kernel or bootimg when flashing a factory img for rooting do we not need those anymore with the newest beta of superSU? or does this question not even make sense? :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
A lot of that question doesn't make sense, but I think I know what you are asking.

If using SuperSU verison that is less than 2.27, then it requires a "root_kernel" (a kernel with a specific modification that enables root to work)

If using SuperSU 2.27, then it no longer requires a root_kernel as it uses a new method to obtain root access.

NexusRootToolkit currently does not utilize this newer version because at the time of v1.9.8 publish date, that version was considered alpha. It seems people think its relatively stable, so it will become the default in v1.9.9.

Cheers,

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madLyfe:
yep thats exactly what i was getting at. thanks man. so will the tool revert our devices back to the stock kernels?

There is a button in advanced utilities called restore stock kernel, that you can use.

SDCARD Size is incorrect

Hi Wug.

I've just flashed my Nexus 5 with Lollipop using your toolkit, and did a factory reset after flashing stock so that the SDCARD size was correct, but my 32Gb phone still says I only have 12Gb free.

I have factory reset it again, but it's still being reported as the same size.

Any ideas please ??

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Eduardo C.:
You must go to the phone settings -> backup and restore -> factory reset (maybe wrong translation since my settings are in portuguese).

Great, so can you confirm rooting on Lollipop is possible with NRT, also on Nexus 4?

I'm still waiting to update because of the lack of the Xposed Framework, but when I'll do, I'll use the NRT for sure!

i guess hes messing around with SuperSU v2.30 BETA looking to push it to play soon. whats your take on that?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RevoWution:
I can indeed confirm rooting works for Lollipop on the Nexus 5. Quick and painless. I don't have a Nexus 4 so I can't confirm if it's working for your phone though ;)

Yup, I definitely miss Xposed and GravityBox... Fingers crossed the devs port it over to Lollipop asap. I miss all the customisable functions :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
It looks very good. It will be default in v1.9.9. Everything is sorted, just need to catch some zzz's and then I will publish it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:
2.35 release is out.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LLJKTechnogeek:
I was about to post the same thing myself.

One other thing that's important: TWRP recovery was updated to 2.8.2 back on the 21st, with support for encrypted devices on Android 5.0. The NRT is still trying to use 2.8.1, which doesn't have that support.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DRAGON_poop:
Hi, I already rooted using this toolkit and few days ago I flashed ElementalX kernel. It's working great, but I have one question. Does this toolkit install a custom kernel as well? I flashed EX over the kernel that was already present and I'm wondering if I should have wiped or reverted back to stock.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
v1.9.9 is live. :) And I updated the masterlists to update to the new 2.35 SuperSU. I still have 2.8.1 for hammerhead, because on my device, everytime I flashed 2.8.2 twrp, when I booted to twrp it would just reboot to system after showing the TWRP splash screen. I checked the thread and saw other users with the problem. I tried fastboot erasing recovery, and flashing etc. Still no dice. So I have held off on updating that TWRP..

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] madLyfe:
is it a good idea/practice to go back to the stock kernel now that we can? also when it checks for dependencies, what is the modified boot img? is that the kernel?

im sure you have tried everything to get it to work, but i updated to newest SU and then flashed it with flashify and that seemed to work for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes. That is good practice, and is more secure. I still left all the code in place to revert to that system if google patches what Chainfire is using now.

The modified boot.img is never flashed, it is only booted to enable running a privledged cmd. More specifically it enables pushing a special file to your cache partition which TWRP reads in to automate tasks. For more info on how NRT works, see: http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-does-nrt-root/

Yeah, I saw other comments about that approach, but that's not good enough for me to feel comfortable including it. If it won't work with fastboot flash... then it will cause problems with NRT.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Valholy:
Did you follow all the steps to properly configure the program? I had to uninstall all drivers and reinstall them, also if in any point during the process of flashing when it boots up it doesn't recognize the device automatically, unlock screen and press ok on the prompt in the phone screen, forgot what it asks for is something related with permissions though :p, also I recommend to check your cable because it might mess things if it interferes during the process, happened with me using my laptop, it froze during the process and almost bricked my device.

Oh btw if you keep having problems I'd revert to stock relock and perform a factory reset, after that start again with the rooting process.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Edo 91:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
There are no problems, unless your device is encrypted on lollipop. In that case, I am waiting for a new version of TWRP without the bug that prevents TWRP from booting.

The version before newest works, also if you put a theme on twrp on the newest the bug goes away.

I conducted the entire procedure of rooting the phone showing 12 gb of memory instead of the correct one, can lead to a problem?

I may be wrong here, but I think you need to clear cache and userdata to get it to report the right size. Think you only can use the size that is displayed.

Have you read the FAQ? I'm guessing not.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

May I just ask what does encryption in lollipop mean? Was that the reason why many are experiencing incorrect storage capacity and twrp folder hidden (but is visible in recovery)?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WugFresh:
Sure, From Wikipedia:

So, on android - this means encrypting your userdata partition (which contains pics, docs, music, whatever) so that it is unreadable to someone with physical access to your device without knowledge of your encryption key. If you are concerned about sensitive data on your device, then encryption would add another layer of security in protecting that data.

Incorrect storage capacity display issue, just seems to be a weird glitch that is fixed by wiping the partition. I don't know the technical reason it is happening specifically. I can't speak to the hidden TWRP folders issue - I am guessing it will/has been corrected in future twrp versions.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] praseodimio:
Hi, maybe this is a dumb question but I didn't find an answer yet.

I have a Nexus 5 (Lollipop 5.0, unlocked and rooted with the tool - thanks!) and for the moment I would stick with stock recovery.

Is it still possible to get a full nandroid backup using "backup w/ custom recovery" or is it mandatory to definitely flash a TWRP before?

If yes, does the tool use a temporary TWRP to perform the backup and then it reverts back to stock recovery at the end of the process?

ps. I always performed nandroid backups with TWRP on my devices but, for the time being, I don't want to install it on the Nexus 5.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
You could flash TWRP to get a backup, then fastboot flash the stock recovery from the factory image.

Sent from my Nexus 5 with the N5X LRX22C ROM
[Nexus 5 Android Development] praseodimio:
Thank you, yes I know I could do in that way but it is time consuming to go back and forth each time a backup is needed.
