[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nd_1969:
It took several minutes also for me. Really awkward. With my previouse phone, LG p880, it was a matter of few seconds.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Probably the best part of 10 minutes to wipe cache/dalvik for me today!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eep2378:
Its a know issue with the N5. I believe its hardware related. TWRP devs will figure it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koetermann:
Yes, it is. And there is a workaround for that issue: Go to the TWRP settings and activate "format rm - rf", so your wipe takes normal time as known.

You can find more about that in the TWRP Nexus5 main thread here .

For me personally, wiping the cache entirely deletes my internal storage so I would avoid it at all costs until there is an update..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterEcho:
It takes my device a little while to wipe via TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lownita:
Such thing never happened to me. Formatting cache takes like 3 minutes for me, but it doesn't do any awkward. Unless you reboot while formatting ofc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleets:
I'm avoiding wiping cache in TWRP at the moment...

first time i did that it borked something and i couldnt even switch airplane mode off or open play store when i got wifi on etc...wasnt that nice :p

Yep. Everyone should use this advice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
Which factory image do you use? I just ran into this issue and it's driving me nuts.

I wish I would have found this thread sooner. I just wiped my internal storage and IMEI doing this. I have a backup of my IMEI, but restoring it with TWRP doesn't seem to do anything.

Will restoring the factory image fix this, or do I need to do that and restore this backup?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
SO if you change it to rm-rf it doesn't bork your cell connection? I know it'll wipe faster but still leary on cell connection. Or is it that this only happens if you make the mistake of rebooting instead of waiting???? I'm wanting to jump on SlimKat and coming from an Evo LTE the procedure to clean wipe I'm familiar with is wiping system/data/cache/davlik cache so I've been holding off worried about the cache part. I've been using 2.6.3.2

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egofreak:
I remember having something weird happen when I went from stock to cataclysm. I would wipe EVERYTHING except internal storage in TWRP then try flashing the rom. It would fail 1-2 times. Then it would flash flawlessly. Running all day messing around with it and nothing is out of the ordinary. TWRP is still a bit fishy.....:confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhuc:
I need help you guys,

I wiped the internal storage by accident, thinking it was the Dalvik/Cache. Now my Nexus is stuck on the "Google" screen on boot-up. Any advice on what to do next?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nd_1969:
not very expert on n5 side, but probably I would use Nexus Root Toolkit and install again stock rom. But wait for more experienced advise.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
Not sure. But there are a few reporting it happening in the TWRP thread. I really think it was because those people rebooting while it was formating instead of waiting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidKills:
Yup i can sort of confirm this, i remembered my first time wiping it took so long, i freaked out and forced a reboot via power button. When it came back on, practically everything was force closing and i had no cell connection at all.

2. wifi is off, edge is on, SMS's don't go through, and I can't make any calls saying the network is unavailable.

In both situations I have a full signal bar.

Could anyone who have flashed the new 4.4 factory images confirmed that this issue is fixed?

For those unaware: On 4.3, camera utilising apps, especially snapchat, would crash the whole phone and make it reboot. The snapchat devs said it was a problem with the mako camera framework, and had to be fixed by Google.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krneki10:
I've just received Age GT-S5830 with stock 2.3.3 ROM. The problem is that it's very laggy so I was wondering which ROM would you recommend me for a start? Performance, speed and stability are the most important factors here. Would be CM10.1 by Mardon a good choice?

I've also noticed that there are several tutorials for rooting on forums. Could you please point me into right direction and tell me which one to follow?

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
Cm 10.1 by [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] is a very good option and if you wanna speed up your rom try scripts like fly in mod or crossbreeder

Also when you will install cm 10.1 by mardon you dont need to root it cos its rooted already.

If you like you can also try cm 10.2 by [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] it is also good option

good luck and thanks [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] if you like his rom and me too :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krneki10:
Hmm what do you mean by "you don't need root". What's the installation procedure then when coming from stock 2.3.3?

Which one do you believe is faster, CM10.1.6 or CM10.2? How about CM7.2 ROM's, how do they compare?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
To revert back to stock rom you should have file of stock rom and then you can flash it by using odin and going in to download mode

about you asking that which rom is faster if you want speed you can use cm 7.2 roms but if you wanna use latest go for cm 10.1 or 10.2 also i cannot gurantee you that roms above cm7.2 roms are lag free specially cm 10.1 or 10.2

But cm 10.1.6 by [MENTION=868594]Mardon[/MENTION] is nice

I looked around and decided id try an sbf but i couldnt get any of them to work and everytime i downloaded the motorola drivers for my phone an error screen popped up saying that i was missing solana drivers or something of the sort. So I game up and went to sleep the next day i woke up and went to use my phone and it wouldnt turn on so i figured it was dead. I plugged it in and waited for it to charge and after about half an hour it turned itself on but it only got to the screen where it says droid and then it would shut off and its been stuck in bootloop ever since. I tried to access the boot menu holding Power + M but thats not working either it just keeps botting up and shutting down. It does not ever register on my computer when i plug into the usb and it previously did. How do I solve this?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] raphytaffy:
Has anyone successfully installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7) on your HTC One? I have tried all three methods on installing it and I can't seem to get it to stick on my phone.

Method one: Goo.im app

From the menu, selecting Install OpenRecoveryScript and selecting Yes results in No recoveries were found for your device.

Method two: ADB / Terminal

Opened up an ADB shell and used dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 which successfully installed it. Rebooting to recovery goes to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.

Method three: Fastboot

Booting into the bootloader and selecting the fastboot option in order to run fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img successfully installed. Rebooting to recovery goes to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.

Holding volume down + power and selecting Recovery from the bootloader also reboots to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.

No idea how to get this installation to stick. Can anyone help out?

Can't Flash TWRP after installing MaximusHD

So I am a noob at this stuff and successfully flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3. I installed the MaxHD ROM shortly after following all instructions that I could find. I ran into bootloop and had to revert to an old firmware then flashed the current firmware and viola MaxHD booted right up. However, now I can not flash TWRP back as my recovery. Everytime I flash it and go into recovery it goes into MaxHD ROM. If anyone has any ideas they are much appreciated.

Also, I have read for over three weeks on these boards before posting even my first post so I have tried to research the problem if anyone was wondering that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Is MaxHD a Verizon rom? That could be an issue if it's not. Also, the latest TWRP is 2.7.0.8. Haven't had any issues with it. Are you flashing it with fastboot commands? You might try the app Flashify.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Jaayyrod:

Hi all. At home I turn off my wifi when I go to work (to save the 1p of electricity it probably costs. Way to go, Al Gore!) and when I turn it back on, my nexus 5 doesn't remember the password. My nexus S was the same.

This recommends switching my router to WEP (it's currently WPA-PSK), however I'm not sure I actually CAN change this in my router settings. Shouldn't it just work anyway, or is it a router problem? Should I just stop turning off the router? This feels like it shouldn't be a problem... hmmm.....

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giallograle:
Phone loses wifi password

Both my Nexus 4 running stock KitKat and previous Galaxy S1 with CyanogenMod 10.2 used to occasionally 'lose' their wifi passwords if disconnected and would ask for saved passwords to be re-entered before they would log in again. This would happen with WPA2 networks - I'm not sure whether it also applies to WEP.

Rebooting the phone usually solves the problem - I put it down to a bug in the software.

Does anyone have a better solution?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
WEP is not a solution! Assuming that it would reconnect fine if its not rebooted, just dont reboot the router. Turning it off is not normal or expected behaviour

My galaxy nexus forgets WPA passwords when I turn off the Wi-Fi it doesn't seem to matter if the router has rebooted or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Hmm - this is the first I've ever heard of this issue. I agree with rootSU though - WEP is not the solution. It is very insecure. (BTW, if your router supports it, go to WPA2 instead of WPA)

Can you try this a friend's house with their WiFi router to see if it is a problem with the router? You said that your phone doesn't remember the password - does it popup a dialog box asking for the password? Or does it just not connect automatically?

Are you on the stock ROM? or custom?

While I don't shut off my router, I do reboot it once a couple of weeks or so, and my phone(s) signs on automatically.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicmavr:
I don't think it is a router problem, since I had the same issue to with other routers in the past and I didn't have any problem with mine, until one day I tried to connect to another Wi-Fi to test something, and I had to disconnect from mine as it was in range. since that day my phone can not save the network it is like it is a new ssid every time..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisesgl:
I had this issue before, the problem was that there are duplicate entries of the same network in /data/misc/wifi/*wpa_supplicant.conf

I tried and delete only the duplicate entries but I still had issue, I didn't try much with that and just deleted all entries and entered my WiFi passwords all over again and that did it for me.

I had this issue about 2 years ago, on many different phones and the issue even transfers to new phones when the Google account syncs the WiFi passwords.

I hope this is it and it fixes your issue.

What is the best way to delete those files? Root file manager on the phone? Or go in through a USB connection on my PC?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisesgl:
I did it with root and root file explorer, i did not delete the file, i opened it and deleted the entries there for the wifi passwords saved, they will be easy to identify.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

They look like this

network={

ssid="INFINITUMBA15"

psk="2939253472"

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

priority=735

}

I deleted all the ones like that, synced Google account just in case, rebooted just in case and entered WiFi password. After that I tested that the password saved if I turned WiFi off or the modem off and it worked.
