[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rans0m00:
So is there anyway to keep my recovery or root when I flash an ota update?

If there is no way. Then anyway to install cwm and root from just the phone?

I do my updates etc when I have down time and that's usually on lunch or when my laptop is not around so handling everything from the phone would be very nice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
You will lose root when flashing an OTA, but it is just one extra step to flash the SuperSU (takes less than a minute) to regain root. I keep the SuperSU file on my phone and just flash it from there.

I use TWRP, and haven't lost my custom recovery while flashing 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 yet.

(I stay stock rooted - you can't safely take OTA if you aren't on the stock ROM)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rans0m00:
I let it restart before I flashed root. And been using cwm just preference and its gone after the 4.4.1 flash and now the 4.4.2

Except root and recovery I am completely stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
I haven't used CWM, so can't say. But with TWRP, I flashed the update, and let the phone start up fully. Then, when I saw that root was gone, I shut down and booted back into TWRP, and flashed SuperSU. and then, booted back up. TWRP is still there.

(I'm rooted, stock ROM with custom recovery as well)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceKingNYC:
I use TWRP also. I flash the OTA, then Flash the SuperSU and then I reboot. Have yet to lose root
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rans0m00:
So not really a way of keeping cwm or root... But this is how I did it without needing a computer with me.

Flashed updated in cwm... Then flashed root... Then reboot... Used ROM manager to reinstall cwm.... Everything is good to go.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
Or do like I do wait a couple of hours for one of the great devs we have here to give us a fully working updated stock rom with su and busybox built in.

All you can ask for from a rooted stock rom.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
At first please don't post links to your question in other threads.

You may have a soft brick due to the .zip you installed (may was corrupt). Search in the forum for installing .kdz (stock LG firmware) manually and do it. Then repeat the whole unlock etc and try it again.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Rudjgaard:
You need to update recovery, you most likely flashed an old version since this used to happen to me on first releases of cwm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
Looks like my secure element is fried. I am 100% stock on mc2 and Wallet tap and pay fails consistently. In about section it says nfcpaymentsetupfailure 11. So I chatted with samsung cust care and they said its 3rd arty app and we cant support it. How do i convince them to take it in and repair the damn thing. I still have about 2 weeks left in my warranty. Advice pls?

FWIW: IT was fried when I was rooted on some custom roms before, not sure which one, but for last 6 months it wouldnt work. Tried some methods mentioned here in the forum, none worked. I decided to go to stock and see if that changes, but nope. One thing I havent tried is xposed framework.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yoshimi3241:
Try the Odin back to stock with a full wipe. You have to re root and reinstall recovery, but it'sa smallprice topay to make non sprint users jealous, lol. The key to wallet is that before you flash a new rom you have to clear all wallet data in application manager.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecs87:
I thought this "secure element" had to do with Knox? If I recall correctly...MC2 doesn't have Knox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
As I mentioned above I am back to stock using rwilco12 repo exercise which team Odin to bring it back to stock. Still is a toast. I know it was working between roms. But it just stopped one day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] moose1313:
Has nothing to do with knox

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

There is NO fix. Have literally 30emails to and from google/wallat app techs/CSR/supervisors. If it's something you really want, go back to stock and go to a main sprint store and tell them your NFC is broken, they'll then replace it. And that will fix it, google wouldn't tell me how the app is linked to the phone. But I believe it's serial and/or MAC since a new phone fixes it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
But do you have to have the insurance to get it replaced in the sprint store? its still within first one year.. or do i have to deal directly with samsng and bypass sprint?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrk13s:
Hi Everyone,

i just installed cyanogenmod 10.2 for telstra gt-i9505 lte i have to say it drove me up the wall, with getting things back to normal but we are getting there.

with the samsung firmware i would just connect the usb cable to open winamp and select playlist sync to sd card on the device.

No however i can not sync the sd card at all, i get errors of could not create folder on device, and error in insert: 80070003

i had to reformat the card with fat32format again to make sure it was ok

i can drag and drop files to the card and double twist will see the music files but not the play lists. does anyone have any advice ?

thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Its normal not to NFC logo.

Just find a friend with an NFC phone and try sharing a photo of something. Or if you have NFC bank card or similar you can see if phone picks it up. You'll need to download an app from Play Store

Hi all. I saw this posted on Reddit. I did a search here but came up with nothing. What's the take on this? False rumor? Any possible truth? If it is true I wonder how it affects early adopters? Would they still be able to RMA? I love my N5 but my power button is indeed loose. Not audibly loose but you can definitely feel it. Love this thing regardless.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adamkopo:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
Sorry but a loose power button (not even audibly loose) seems an extremely petty thing to complain about. I've seen this complained about repeatedly but really?? It just seems so ridiculous to me. This is not directed at the OP, just at this complaint in general.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhendershott:
Petty or not, if there is truth to the article Google is treating it as a mistake. Hard to know though since there is no other sources besides this German website.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAtheistOtaku:
i also think that the "loose" power button thing is just people being REALLY picky. i wouldnt of even noticed it if people didnt point it out in the forums. As for the larger speaker holes. Its a "meh" type thing. Your not going to get that much more sound with bigger holes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmm67:
So, I think I've bricked my LS980. Was rooted runing the stock rom happily when I stupidly accepted a LG UIUU? update. Phone rebooted into TWRP recovery and thats all it will do. Didn't make a backup yet because as I alluded to earlier, I'm stupid. When I power off from TWRP it asks to Install Supersu to gain root yet that does nothing. When I boot into download mode it says rooted on the bottom. I have no idea where to go from here. Is there even an option? I'd love to go back to stock and never mention this again... Any idea?

Also cmm67,

-Download files from the return to stock thread

-make sure you have COM/LPT ports installed in device manager, if you dont have them go to the top and there should be an option on the file bar for "add legacy hardware"

-once you have them installed, hold vol down and power on your phone while plugging into the pc

-Look for LGE device in device manager and it should show as a com port. Click properties, advanced, port settings and change to com41

-unplug your phone but keep in download.mode

-open flash tools. Click on "use manual" and itll allow you to browse for your dll and tot file

-click the yellow arrow on top left,itll sit for a.few seconds then say ready, plug your phone back in .., and since youre still in download mode... itll start to install your firmware

Hi i have a GT-i9500 that recently has started acting really weird, the symptoms are.

Computer does not detect the phone, not even as an unrecognized device. It doesn't matter if its on, recovery or download mode.

After it goes to low Battery mode it won't charge with any 2.0 or 2.1 Amp Charger (tried car, iPad and Samsung original). It just charges with 0.5 amp charger (Huawei G510) or connected to a USB 2.0 port.

I have seen issues where the phone display a warning in the screen when charging with the power off, this is not the case, there are no warnings, the device works perfectly normal if you leave out the usb charging and syncing issue, battery lasts as it always has, no overheating, etc.

Changing charger or cord gives the exact same result
