Running perfectly on stock 6.0.1 with Cataclysm mod, ElementalX 6.07, and SuperSU 2.61.

Nexus 5 | Cataclysm | ElementalX
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
that COULD be the power button, at least many who reported something like that had a borked power button. if the reason is "reboot" something must trigger a regualr reboot command and the physical button is one of the possibilities while it does not necessarily have to be that way. just hinting.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pagratios:
This is from SysLog after last reboot 1 min ago

[MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]: but is soft reboot. How can you achieve that with power button?

Hi xda and hi cataclysm. Im kinda confused with the installation notes. Im on latest xtrasmooth rom marsmallow. Rooted. How should i install cataclysm? Should the regular way would be okay?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NexusPvn:
Why you no xperia z4 :c
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
don't you have a backup? no nandroid? no EFS backup? if not i will try to help but don't feel much sorry LOL. ALWAYS keep nandroids and backup your IMEI.

download EFS Backup app from playstore when you got it up and running again.

1. reboot and see if it's back, chance is good

2. if 1 does not show positive results, re-install naked stock rom or naked cataclysm full zip clean ( after making a nandroid of current state ) to see if it's back

3. if 1 and two don't show positive results download google factory image and fastboot flash everything, modems, boot.img system.img, bootloader and recovery and see if it works.

Even though latest 3 works in 9 of 10 cases which i hope for you, if this is not the case you lost your IMEI and the device to my knowledge would be more or less useless, perhaps anyone else know better but i'm positive that at least 3. will fix it.

How to take screenshot?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheDannemand:
That is nasty. As [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] posted, if you cannot get that IMEI restored, your phone is pretty much useless. I have a feeling you already knew that, seeing that you already tried restoring your EFS.

Your best hope is that your EFS backup IS indeed good, and this is just a matter of TWRP not restoring it properly.

I too would suggest a complete Google factory image restore as is your best path: Run flash-all.bat in fastboot. Don't try to skimp on the wiping, this is serious. Of course first backup any important data from your internal storage -- such as that EFS nandroid!

After that, run TWRP again (fastboot boot twrp.img, or flash it if you like) and THEN restore the EFS. With some luck a clean and re-installed device will be able to restore the EFS.

Good luck to you!

Edit: magnamentis' suggestion to start with an EFS backup is a great one. I would still trust your original EFS backup more, but in this case you cannot be too careful.

Quick Heads-Up.

After installing and flashing SU - still had no root. Turns out that the HellsGod kernel doesn't work with SuperSU 2.61

I reflashed full ROM - flashed SU w/o flashing a custom kernel and all is good.

IF I want to run ElementalX - can I:

- flash ElementalX

- re-flash SUPER SU 2.61

Or some other steps?

I have 1 question on the Cata MOD...

I see a number of users here went back to the stock image, using fastboot - THEN applied the Cata MOD.

I flashed the full 6.0.1 CATA ROM - my understanding (reading these threads) - is I have ended up in the same place as if I went back to stock? Now - going forward, all I need to do is apply the CATA Mod in the future. (want to be 100% sure I shouldn't go back to the stock image)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dzevadnp:
Im serious. wol up+power wont.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] manfio:
VOL up wont work at any phone or android...

its vol---- and power
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hepi_hape:
bad.. since my storage is less 1Gigs i never nandroid

but i have EFS backup from original i buy, i already restore it but not solver so far

many my friend suggest direct flash factory with fastboot method, but will try your way,

already backup all app and data

thank for advice

let see later after fighting with phone:highfive:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ej8989:
As a flashaholic with a nexus, I always reserve 3gb for emergency purposes. I learned it the hard way when I bricked my Nexus S.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
when i purchase my N5 in early november 2013 the first variant of cwm at that time was flawed and killed my IMEI as well as my touchdriver in recovery. IMEI i was able to get back via fastboot flashing the factory image but the touch in recovery is useless since then which is why i have to use philz and cannot use twrp. as you see i'm a burned child and every since then i keep as many imei backups as possible. further many people forget to check IMEI in twrp which i've seen many times come unchecked by default. of course i only know about the around 10 devices i am or have been using with twrp but still :) yeah let's wish him luck i'm quite confident that a clean slate factory image flash will do the job. at least it has been like that in most cases i was able to become a witness. :highfive:

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

then i recommend to use a usb flash drive, best a double sider with an A and a B port, so you can stick it to your PC and make a copy, i do that with nands as well as valuable app backups and data, prices are so low nowadays for let's say 32GB ( 16 will do for one device ) that this is a good way to go.

EDIT: sorry about the no sorry then, understand now, hence of course i am ( and always was ) feeling sorry and good luck, i'm confident you'll make it, quota over the years on nexus devices is quite high :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gaosphappy:
Works perfectly well for me Unless I'm miss reading some thing. All flashed fine happy as.

**I did dirty flash over bricked but all works as expected and no boot loop**
[Nexus 5 Android Development] huckky:
Just tell us the truth man. Are you breaking up with us?? :D

[MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] Do you have plans to include Layers 4.0 support in the future? Or there is a way to manually flash layers 4.0 support, sorry for mi ignorance.

A bought some fantastic themes but they dont work as mentioned because of this commits.

Thanks for this awesome rom!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cink40:
Which themes do not work? Magpie works...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hepi_hape:
GOOD news, my phone back normal again with imei and working SIM

Thank anybody :highfive::highfive::highfive::victory:

Next flash TWRP than backup EFS in defrent way

last flash full rom Cataclysm :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
great news, glad you made it, i recommend this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.efs&hl=en because i'm using it and have used it for long on totally 10 devices during the past few years and it works :)

and consider my hint with the OTB USB-stick variant to make full nandroid backups which you can copy to your computer and be safe forever :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pollo17385:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Midomad:
I really hope it will be integrated or there could be a way to flash it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hepi_hape:
Just like up..... :good:

the best part is back to factory image

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

Yap.. full nandroid backup including EFS for good
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Joshmccullough:
I'd also recommend saving a copy of the EFS backup, on its own, somewhere safe. Maybe two copies. If you're using TWRP, you can select only the EFS file(s) to backup, then maybe put that in a folder on your computer and maybe in cloud storage somewhere, juuuuuust in case for the future.

You might do well to name it 'EFS_Backup' or something; through TWRP, right before you make the backup, tap the 'Auto Generate Name' option that just above the checkboxes for each partition that'll be backed up, then you can name it whatever you want. I don't know if renaming it after the fact would do any harm, but better safe than sorry.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] luigidk:
Well - DARN

I even did some foraging through the HellsGod XDA thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64242024&postcount=1688) - and others had the same problem - stating that SU 2.61 and HG aren't working (no root)... (when I ran SUPERSU app - said there were no binaries)...

Any ideas what may have been done different between us? I flashed SUPERSU after flashing HG Kernel.

I also made sure to skip TWRP prompting to install root.

Perhaps I'll try flashing HG Kernel AFTER SU now?

Very big fan of HG kernel - so I'd like to get it working.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

OK - flashed HG 3.4.0-hC-b16-M AFTER SuperSU 2.61 - and - I'm running just fine now.

Thanks for letting me know this works so I gave it another try.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gobonja:
After flashing CataclysmMOD , System apdates are missing from settings - about phone.

If I understood correctly stock OTA should work with systemless SuperSU and CataclysmMOD ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheDannemand:
I am sure [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] has disabled OTA in the Mod just as in the ROM: Since the system partition is still modified after flashing the Mod, OTA attempts would fail. OTA requires a completely unmodified system partition in order to complete.

What you do when Google releases a new factory image, you simply flash the latest system.img, then flash the Cataclysm Mod for that release on top. Both of those are usually out before you will be offered the OTA.

The idea with CataclysmMOD is it's a more efficient and manageable way for atl4ntis to apply his feature set on multiple different ROMs -- including for devices he doesn't even own. It's also a very clean approach for users who are comfortable flashing factory images. As a service to users who DON'T like to flash factory images, he ALSO provides a full ROM zip where he has applied CataclysmMOD for you -- and thrown in an Aroma script to customize which Google apps are installed.

Pretty awesome, if you think about it :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Passaralho:
Stupid (?) question:

I'm on 6.0 stock, rooted, elementalx kernel. If I flash latest (6.0.1) system.img and than cataclysm mod, than su6.21 etc, will I end with cataclysm 6.0.1?... Any simples way of getting this without install/restore everything?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] luigidk:
This is REALLY awesome.

My assumption is that by flashing the FULL 6.0.1 CATA ROM (instead of fastbooting stock image and applying MOD) - I have ended up in the same place as if I did the latter? And that going forward I'll only have to apply CATA Mods.

I have been pouring through these threads and this is the conclusion I came to.

Though what gives me pause - is the last point made - he ALSO provides a full ROM zip where he has applied CataclysmMOD for you ...

When I flashed the full ROM - I did a complete wipe (clean flash), however the Android restore of my settings failed. Thankfully I had everything backed up in Titanium - so my recovery was less painful... any thoughts on how to get the restore to work?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] j0hnh0lmes:
Why does this question keep getting asked? For the 9 millionth time in the past 3 pages.. YES!

Stock image > Mod > Kernel if you want > SU 2.61

This will be the answer again and again. Read (MOD EDIT)

Re-Edited: I stand by my original statement. Society needs to quit spoon feeding the lazy.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Liffeyman:
Folks,

Anyone having an issue with debugging turning itself off? If i have it connected to the PC and select debugging, i can see the marshmallow/android head appear and then disappear again within 5 seconds. If don't have it connected and enable debugging, once i leave the dev menu and go back in its disabled it again.

Excuse the pun, but its really bugging me cause i can't run a titanium backup.

Anyone else having similar issues, or is it just me

Thanks

Liffey
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
i know it would be more helpful if i could say yes, do this or that and it will be fine, but i was just using it for an hour and a half without issues and i have no clue. certainly someone knows better but at least be assured that it's not a rom issue. what kernel are you using? do you have an otg app installed which could interfere or eventually set up something in the usb connection mode that make it turn off the debugging to free the port for another function which then would be set somewhere? just brainstorming, sorry that i can't help any better.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] farsight73:
Anybody having google purchase error??

Just curious if this really from the google side.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheDannemand:
Yes, except I believe the latest SuperSU is 2.62 as of today.

Yes. If you want the new radio, you have to flash that separately. As always.

As long as it's the same Android version, a new CataclysmMOD update can generally be applied on top. Atl4ntis always specifies this in his release notes.

But when Google releases a new version (monthly) you'll have to flash that new system.img if you want the new version. And then the matching CataclysmMOD over it.

That's just an alternative installation which atl4ntis provides for your convenience, where he has done the work for you -- except you have to download it, he is not going to FedEx it to you ;)

While I tend to preach that Nexus users should know how to flash factory images, and despite the fact that I use fastboot anyway to load TWRP, I find the full ROM zip convenient because it allows me to select Google apps to remove in the Aroma installer.

As others pointed out, all this has been discussed ad nauseam -- and is already described very clearly by atl4ntis in post #2:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] luigidk:
Thanks for clarifying - but mostly thanks for not calling me a moron.

Please recognize that I've read these posts many times and I didn't feel my question had yet been answered?

Please accept my apologies for asking a moronic question.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheDannemand:
I get it, no worries.

It is true that there are many repeat questions and answers in this thread (and everywhere on XDA). And it is also true that many old timers (understandably) lose patience when newcomers don't bother reading or making an effort before asking questions. But it is also a fortunate truth that there is great willingness here to help newcomers who approach with the right attitude: Users who have performed some study beforehand, who show respect for the community, and then ask for help when they are in doubt or stumble. Very few members will abuse a new user with such an approach.

And with that, back to the scheduled program :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] toocool4all:
Has anyone else having bootloop ? I m dirty flashing on November 30 buid.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheDannemand:
Which file did you flash (small CataclysmMOD or large Cataclysm ROM)? And which files (SuperSU, kernel) did you flash besides the ROM/Mod? Make sure to select No if TWRP offers to root for you.

Most bootloop causing mistakes have been covered quite extensively in the last few pages. And so has the the proper combination and sequence of files to flash.

Guys I'm on previous stable version of Cata, will dirty flash the new stable version work or I will have to do a clean flash?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] uttam.ace:
Yesterday Dirty flashed 6.0.1 + SU 2.61+ Elemental X 6.07, working fine.

Best thing WiFi bug on battery uses gone now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Were you on the prev stable version of cata bro ? Also why is there a need of flashing Su separately ? Isn't it included in the ROM itself ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gaosphappy:
I went and dirty flashed over last stable without issues. Full .zip not the mod option. And all is working great.

Su and busybox have been removed from .zip so you'll have to root phone yourself. So long as you flash in right order (the above looks correct) instructions are on first page I believe also, you'll have no problems.

*Be aware this thread seems to be getting frustrated with new comers (not you I know) and the generally confused (not you yet I'm sure) so really make sure you've looked for the answer before posting your next question.*

Peace not war my fellow human.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Thanks a lot for the reply mate. I'm downloading the latest factory image also as on 6.0.1 there is new bootloader and radio. Didn't you update the radio and bootloader ? I suggest you should :)

Any one happen to have a Microsoft Band that could tell me if it's working with the Dec 8th Cataclysm? It doesn't work with Stock 6.0.1 (does with 6.0.0)...

I ask instead of testing myself because I have a replacement Nexus 5 coming in tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I should update it to Cata 6.0.0 or Cata 6.0.1 until MSFT sorts out their issue and I'd rather not do 6.0.1 then wipe/reflash.

Members,

Just dropped in to say hi

At times we get annoyed by a few things which are known to us but we forget that we were helped by others long back.

Having said that, there is no dispute that it is surely the responsibility of the members to read and understand.

But, there are always flaws, errors, downs in life and times when we need support rather than someone showing us rulebook.

Try to balance and help each other (for sure no Q&A work in Development section though) and no calling names strictly.

Thanks for all your understanding
[Nexus 5 Android Development] uttam.ace:
Yes I was in previous stable version.but it was based on 6.0, latest one is based on 6.0.1 and yes SU is not included you have to flash it seperately

also if u need u can flash custom kernal also.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] edrickmph:
I have already full wipe and clean install everything. But still the extreme lag and freeze still persists. I suspect this is with the apps i have installed. I uninstalled pushbullet, and the lag has lessen. I think there are still other apps which causes the lag.

How can determine which app to uninstall? Any help on this.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] stankyou:
Try and do the opposite. Clean install rom. Install apps that you suspect can cause the lag one at a time. Repeat until you find the culprit.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] edrickmph:
I have more than 110+ apps, is there an easier way to detect the particular app causing the lag and freeze? Pushbullet is the no. 1 app causing this in my device, any one also having this problem?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ej8989:
I also dirty flashed. I don't have this problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Sparubens:
Strangily, Xposed was the culprit
[Nexus 5 Android Development] edrickmph:
So i am not the only one having this problem with the lag and freeze. I also think that the app installed is the culprit. I just don't know which one? Is xposed also the culprit? I just hope its not!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Arstoien:
To all with lag: I imagine it comes some time after boot? If so (no lags after reboot) try this – the next time you start seeing lags, clear all your recents. See if the lag disappears. If so, wait for the next time you notice lag and start swiping only the suspects one by one with testing in between.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] toocool4all:
What does cataclysm mod december 8 do , I flashed it and now I wandering.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Sparubens:
Hey, the only lag I was experiencing was the settings app opening very slow. I tried to track down what was the cause, using Xposed Uninstaller to uninstall Xposed was the only solution, settings app smooth as butter now. So yeah, Xposed seems to cause some slowdowns.

And how did you flash the ROM? Did you flash with SuperSU? Because you'll need the systemless root SuperSU package. System based packages will cause bootloops
