Have you tried holding the power button for ~10 seconds or more? I thought I'd bricked my Nexus 7 once, but it turned out it had just got itself into a funny state. Holding the power button down rebooted it successfully.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylar12:
I have no windows machine, unfortunately. But how can you explain the nexus does not even respond when plug in the power adapter?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylar12:
adb is not working for me, since the phone does not power on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
Also try another cable that one sounds bad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylar12:
I have tried this, yes, without success.

I have just received an email from google for the RMA procedure. I will send back the phone asap, but the new one should be sent only within 4/5 weekds...

I have also tried this with a working nexus 4 power adapter. The phone does not charge at all.

Look inside the USB female on the phone and make sure the tongue with the contacts is not bent and is still there. It should on the phone, near the top of the opening, toward the glass side.

FYI, I received my Nexus 5 this morning and unlocked its bootloader in a Mac. All went good, no issues whatsoever. :) Just thought it could be useful as we were saying that there might be some issues in doing this in a Mac.

I've used the fastboot that is in the official SDK.

Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
Good luck, is it so long because of your location or because of normal Google inventory issues.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

Good, did you do it all manually, or did you use a "toolkit".

The SDK download is a large installation but it is the best method.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
You do realize that when you get your RMA they will send to the LG warranty center and these guys will do everything they can to power the phone and check if you did anything that will void your warranty - unlocking the bootloader will absolutely void it. I've had phones that bricked and would show no response when plugged in to the charger, but always found a way around this. LG guys will have tools at their disposal to absolutely get around this to check for warranty voiding actions.

In such a case you will not be refunded the money they have a hold on, so you will essentially have paid for 2 phones, and they will NOT send you back your original.

I'd be doing anything I can to return that phone to stock (using the one click 'dead or alive' solution I posted here yesterday).

Find someone with a Windows machine and get this done as I assure you the warranty center will find a way to get your phone booted up and they will see that you have unlocked the bootloader.

You have been warned!

I also unlocked and rooted using a mac. I used the zip provided by chainfire. Follow his commands.

--- chmod +x root-mac.sh

--- Run root-mac.sh

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie_gordo:
I did it manually, I don't like to use toolkits. :) It's just 3 commands really... "fastboot devices" to check if it is connected, "fastboot oem unlock" and then "fastboot reboot". :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbiceps:
Im sorry to inform you that using a mac device will result in higher chances of bricking as per a survey which you can easily google and gain more info.

on the otherside, a new phone is just 349 + 13.99 $

so good luck ordering new one , anyways theres no stock now. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
I unlocked and rooted mine without an issue.

Erm, I don't use a toolkit nor download the whole Android SDK.

Not sure why so many people are having trouble..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhand1001:
Hmm thats strange. When I got a replacement for my 2012 nexus 7 they sent the replacement first then I sent back the old one and it was pretty quick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylar12:
I do know the risk, but right now it seems I have no other choice. And yes, I'm sure LG has other tools which can restore my Nexus.

I have downloaded the tool you are referring to: according to the scripts inside the zip file, it is simply based on adb and fastboot, both of them being inoperant on my (dead) phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylar12:
The problem is that the Nexus 5 is out of stock in France...

EDIT: just received an email from google telling me my new phone has been shipped!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Have you tried removing the battery and leaving it for 10 minutes before plugging back in? This has resolved issues like this with other phones.

I find it hard to believe that you can't at least get to bootloader mode.

I hope that your phone is indeed completely dead, otherwise you just paid $850 for a phone......

Have you tried using the PC route? You must know someone with a PC?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motcher41:
It is a sealed battery....sheesh did you even read any of this thread?

Personally I blame the Mac. I mean who uses an Apple device to work on Android. Probably a hidden Steve Jobs attack virus when it sensed the Android was near.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwreck420:
lol i know right. that was my first thought when i saw it was on a mac...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylar12:
Just for your information: I have received my new N5, which is now rooted (thanks to CF-Auto-root) and unlocked.

I did the same steps as before, but it worked this time! The previous phone had definitely a problem. I have to send it back now, crossing my fingers google will not charge me for the (probably) unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Sadly I can almost guarantee that they will charge you for the new phone.

If you can't lock the bootloader, I would just keep your original phone and see if you can fix at a later date or sell for someone to repair.

Google won't send you back your original even if they charge you for the new one.

Hey all that are bashing macs, you do know that the android operating system and the Mac os are built on the same platform, right? Oh guess not. Wonder why I didn't need to install any drivers for adb and fastboot. Anyhoo I unlocked and rooted on my Mac with no issues running a few commands...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
Yes some of us understand that, many have no clue. The rooting/unlocking/flashing process is easier on a Mac than Windows or Ubuntu but not too many people realize that. I use all three.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Android is a Java based platform running on a Linux kernel. The Linux kernel itself is a clone of Unix, which is what Mac OS is built on.

Android is not particularly close to any other OS, but for obvious kernel reasons, it is definitely closer to Linux than Unix (and by extension, Mac). Obviously many of the commands between Android, Linux and Unix (including Macs) are the same because Linux is a Clone of Unix. Of course though, just because it is a clone, doesn't mean it is identical. The Linux kernel was actually written from the ground up.

Obviously It is closer to Mac than it is to Windows, but saying Android is built on the same platform as Mac OS is not accurate and Android devices' compatibility with Mac OSx could be much better

Edit > Lets not make this an OS war.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
Using a mac is not the problem, in fact IMO you're better off using a Mac for this as you don't run into retarded driver issues like Windows. You can build Android natively on a Mac, so seems it would be the best option sans Linux for tinkering.

I believe it will be available, not officially though. As the requirements to run KitKat are not as big as those for JB MR1.

And yes, Xoom is already an old device, it is slower than others, but that doesn't mean it is SLOW and BAD. Just slowER and not as good as. I have a Nexus 10 and I can tell the huge difference, however for the [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] needs Xoom can do it pretty well.

Very strange....... have lost all ringtone, notification and system sounds

Flashed newest BeanStalk, AOKP, Hyperdrive etc and get 0, no, nada sounds. Hell, even every one of my TW and AOSP backups have no sound.........except the rom I'm currently on CM10.2 and the two backups I have for it. I've search and found some *.nomedia files and deleted those to no avail. Any insight would be appreciated! Currently using TWRP 2.5.0.2 :confused:

UPDATE: Tried every combination I could think of to load/restore, but still can only get sounds out of CM10.2 Roms :banghead: :banghead:

Don't know if this is a TWRP issue or phone issue at this point. Willing to ODIN back to stock and start over as nothing else seems to

work. Will this require flashing the md2/mdk tar in odin again??? Not sure if there is a more updated way to do that.

Hi,

I've been out of the Android loop for a few weeks and have now seen that there are a few Nexus 5 ports and AOSP rooms going around, and I wanted to maybe give one of them a try!

I just wondered what the general feeling was as to which one was the best?

Also, if I was to install one of them, what would be the best way to re-obtain root and restore my apps and app data?

Thanks!

Dear all,

I am aware about other threads.

During yesterday and today I studied and tried to follow instructions.

Actually the regarding mobile is flashed with DjangoManoucheX1.6.5_AdiosAmigos_30A ROM.

It works fine but still old.

I just wanna change this MobileROM to Avatar ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167192

I understand that there might be an issue with Bootloader Old and New.

Here my understanding goes to hell. :confused:

I am not able to get my Mobile, which is for my son, to start the flashed ROM from above thread.

It always stays with running circle around CyanogenMod Logo.

There is no different if I use the nightly or RC version. Both shows the same.

But a ROM with new Bootloader runs perfect. I found the same through other threads.

Can anyone be so kind and help me by sending an instruction to get back the Bootloader for GB.

I used a NVflash tool but it always flashed the ICS again :mad:

I believe actually flashed is ICS.

Many thanks in advance for assit and help.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
My dear friend,

I did not want to quote your post. But, flashing the GB (old) bootloader partition can be done with one of the CM+stock Hybrid combination ROM by Stefan (you can actually search it in the development section)....it should be in the first page or the second page.

There are two links....one to be done with recovery and the other with NVFlash method.

Use the NVFlash method and you will be in the GB bootloader + Baseband and you will be ready.

Hope this helps you

FORGOT TO MENTION: this is a Q&A section post and no meaning in opening a new thread in the development section. Please ask the MODs to close this. I have been a newbie....but its good to understand and correct this. THANKS
[LG Optimus 2x] thomaso:
Thanks SREEPRAJAY for fast reply.

It seems that I am to silly to understand or to explain.

Whatever you mean with Q&A section and close of this thread, it may also possible to move him to right place.

But back to my issue.

This is exact what I have had yesterday.

I am able to understand the problem but the solution is a secret for me.

I had now searched fpr Stefan Gündhör and it the result left me in darkness.

I did not get the link fpr understanding what I have to do or easier for my mind, which ROM I have to use.

The bellyache is creating problems and my frustration is getting on critical level.

Close this thread if you would like.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504280 check the last post incase the link is not working from the OP

It is right there in the first page. This is one of the best GB ROMs ever cooked. So you will be happy mostly....but the evaluation depends on user's needs and choices.

Nevertheless, if this solves your issue, I am happy.

\Moving is a good thought....please ask the MODs by yourself.

Thanks for taking it in the right spirit my friend

Pinout for Mini USB Connector is:

1: +5v DC

2: Data -

3: Data +

4: GND

I'm not quite sure what your trying to use to power it but the voltage must be between 4.75 and 5.25V otherwise its gonna get a bit upset!

On AC power supply of this device are writen +5V 1.2A i hope that car charger will be the same voltage?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] barnesdmd:
The car charger will give out the same voltage but I would put a voltmeter across it anyway just to check and also to confirm the polarity as this could well upset the XDA! The highest amperage across a USB bus is (I think!) 500mA but a 1.2A supply will be ok as the device will only pull what it requries. Don't try and power both devices off the same charger though (just checking this isn't what your trying to do) as there won't be enough power to go around.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Joschkopf:
I was just thinking about doing something like that. How much power does the BT mouse require? Given the XDA can be powered from a standard usb connector it doesn't require more than 500mA. So do you think 700mA aren't enough for BT mouse??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Kysa:
yes i will do this

i will use for xda or for gps...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Beeble:
It "should" be fine to power both off a 1.2A supply (although i dont know if the car charger will be able to supply this or not. mains - 5vDC is very different electronics to 12vDC-5vDC). The worst that

should

happen is that the GPS needs a large power supply, and the voltage supply will drop (what happens if you draw too much current) The Wizard should then just ignore the useless voltage (below 5v) and not be worried by it.

This is all

should

and not will, i dont know what components are fitted in the Wizard charging & power circuit.

I haven't tested it personally but do have a reasonable knowledge of electrics & electronics

Flash Guru Reset using recovery (like any custom ROM). If you then want to receive & install OTA, you have to select Stock Recovery in the installer (note: this may wipe your internal storage!), then you should be able to receive and install the OTA.

for OTA you need stock rom and stock recovery (ie Guru Reset, and select stock recovery)

but for rumrunner, no need for stock recovery, just a matching ROM and firmware (ie Guru Reset 2.24.401.1 RUM you are using) and check bootloader (or "fastboot getvar all") to confirm firmware is 2.24.401.1) then you can use rumrunner just fine.
