[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benaside:
Like the title says, my Nexus 5 won't boot unless I manually plug it in, hold down volume buttons and power, then wait 15 seconds for fast boot to appear, and then select "start."

Thats the problem. Now for some more information:

1. Nexus 5 32 gb

2. ROM: CM 11 Dec 13s Nightly

3. Kernel: Bricked 3.4.0

4. The phone is totally functional. The only thing wrong with it is that it can't reboot. From the system, TWRP recover, or anything, it simply will not reboot. Every time I must go into fast boot then press the power button when it says "start." After this, the phone works just as I would expect it to. I can still flash kernels and backups through recovery, it just must be restarted manually through the fast boot. This is a problem for me because I don't always want to have to plug it in when I want to reboot it.

When did it start:

Let me start off by saying that I thing the root of all my problems was the TouchControl app that allows the knock to wake function to work. I downloaded the app and was told to install the developers custom kernel. I did and not only did the app not work, it also seemed to brick my phone. I was scared, but, after doing some research, I found the method of plugging it in and holding down all buttons for about 15 seconds and my phone was saved. Ever since then there has been the problem. I must always do this to reboot my phone. Since the app didn't work I decided to install the Bricked Kernel and everything went fine except that I wasn't prompted with the interactive installer. The kernel works fine and I am now using the Knock to wake feature built into the kernel and am very happy.

Seems to be caused by swipe2wake aka knock 2 wake aka knock knock (but not totally sure)

What I've Tried (don't assume I've tried something I haven't. I could have missed something obvious.):

1. Resetting permissions through TWRP (just thought I'd try)

2. Putting back CM 11 Kernel

3. Restoring to a time when my phone did restart

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try to keep the original post updated with everything I try.

FIXED with the help of jd1639 and meangreenie

------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Follow jd1639's link in 3rd comment to the page and

A. Install adb and flashboot drivers

B. Install your version of factory images from google (if you are running 4.4.2 get the image for 4.4.2)

2. Plug in phone to AC CHARGER and hold down power and volume buttons for up to 20 seconds. This should put it into fast boot mode

3. After getting phone in fast boot mode, plug it into your mac or pc.

4. Out of all the instructions in the "How to flash a factory image" thread go to method 2 and ONLY DO THE FIRST TWO LINES OF CODE. All that needs to be flashed is the bootloader.img

5. After it says complete and your phone restarts you should be able to push "start" on your phone and be good!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I would try and fastboot flash boot boot.img. where boot.img is the boot image from the factory image.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benaside:
So that's essentially flashing the stock ROM?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
No just the boot.img

Edit, look at method #2 but only flash the boot.img nothing else http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47156064
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benaside:
Thanks so much for trying to help. I installed all the things and flashed Boot.img from fast boot, but once I restarted my phone everything was messed up (booted to home screen but basically the system started failing). After this, I retried but deleted my cache and delvik cache. This time the system simply wouldn't boot. Luckily I backed up and restored to my previous version. Thanks for trying, but this did not work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Were you on 4.4 or 4.4.2. Sounds like 4.4.2. The factory image in the link was 4.4
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benaside:
I downloaded the folder for 4.4.2 from the link developers.google .com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
try reflashing via custom recovery or fastboot.. bootloader, recovery and suitable boot.img for your rom, maybe give the radio a reflash too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benaside:
Will this'd elite all my files and unroot?

Btw thanks so much for the help
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
no it won't delete your data.. but please triple check your files and fastboot commands before executing

the last resort is to format data if all else fails

For some reason when I rebooted my phone today it gave me a notification that my storage space is running low?! But when I went into the storage settings to figure out what to delete the only big files I have are 3.5 gigs of apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Hello,

I'm interested in encrypting my phone (rootbox 4.2) including the external SD Card (if that's possible..?) but i need to know if you do it, then let's say you take that sd card out of the phone and plug it in your pc, how do you access the data? And is that still impossible to unencrypt the phone after it was encrypted (i mean on last android versions)?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Never got any answer here... Still interested by any feeback : i need full encryption!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin92:
Yes it is possible to encrypt and unencrypt the phone and sd card or just the phone itself via the setting menu on your phone. To access encrypted files on a device or pc I don't think it is possible because your sd was encrypted with your phone.Here's also another website for more info type in( do you encrypt your sd card? android central) on your web browser.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Sorry but i don't get all you're saying, can you give a link? I'd like to encrypt everything AND being able to decrypt it on a PC whenever i want. That's probably possible but maybe not yet avalaible by user friendly methods..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balázs Szakolczi:
Hi All!

I need help from you, because I made a mistake.

The story:

I have 2 Lenovo A660 phone (Phone_A and Phone_B). Both of them were working with full functionality. Once I made a full TWRP backup from Phone_A (NVRAM too) I tried to restore it on the other Phone_B. The restore was successful, but after that I can't use the phone function on the Phone_B: no PIN request, and SIM management item is grey in the Settings menu.

As I think, it is because of the NVRAM restore (IMEI numbers and anything). Yes of course, I don't have a backup from Phone_B before that... :angel:

What I tried to repair:

I restored the original stock ROM (A660_S019_1208024) to the Phone_B and I restored the IMEI numbers and SERIAL (what I found behind the battery) with IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3. (with the stock ROM's ModemDB and APDB)

...After that the problem still present...

Then I flashed the A660_S025_121122 ROM and I restored the IMEI numbers and SERIAL again.

...After that the problem still present...

I checked the IMEI settings with Mobile Uncle and it seems like good.

I know that, it isn't a simple problem, but I think here are the most experienced people to solve hard problems.

I don't know what I have to do? Do you have any idea?:crying::crying::crying:

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] reechee:
Hi all, I'm having problems with getting my GPS to function correctly. Somehow I missed this on the CMwiki before I flashed CM:

"To mitigate any problems with the radio interface layer or GPS, it is strongly recommended to change the following Settings in your stock ROM before installing CyanogenMod:

Change from Global to CDMA/LTE network mode: Settings > Mobile Data > Preferred Network

Enable all location services: Settings > Location > (all location services) = On"

Here is what I'm working with:

Device: Verizon HTC One (m7vzw)

CM version: 10.2.0-RC1-m7vzw

I've tried using TopNTP and GPS Status apps as suggested in other threads, but no luck in resolving the GPS issue. Wanted to see if anyone had any better advice before I flash back to stock and reflash CM with all locations services enabled.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] undagullu:
I also had this issue. What I did was flash any sense rom ( I used EclipticONE), change the network, enable all location services, make sure you have a stable gps lock and then flash back to CM
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
I have been having this idea from the day it was launched, i wanted to replace the camera in the MAX with the one from the Original HTC One.

Not that i find my photo's bad because of lack of OIS, it was just another crazy thought from day one of the phone being announced.

I have ordered the original camera module from etradesupply and have it with me now. i am thinking of doing it myself although i don't want to brick my phone lol.

As of now there is no guide for teardown of the MAX and that is kind of a show stopper for me. I have had experience of opening up a HTC One for a screen replacement for a friend of mine and have the required tools for it.

I would like to listen to thoughts from other users.
[HTC One Max] mnsportsguy1978:
I use "camera awesome" from the play store it has optical image stabilization and a slew of other options
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
Ummm... OIS is a hardware thing so no amount of software can provide it
[HTC One Max] mnsportsguy1978:
well in the shooting modes there is image stabilization which will not allow the picture to be taken until stable and works flawlessly
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Diminished return. If the camera drives you nuts right now the rest of the phone/display/etc will after you have torn it apart. Worse yet, your significant other may ban you to the sofa after things go awry.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
That what i thought...

i have use a HTC One and coming from it, i did not see much of difference on the photo's.. as i said, it was just another crazy idea.

however, if image stabilization is a software thingy then Samsung and all other OEM's would have jumped into that already without needing a hardware for it.

If you consider DSLR lenses, there are lens with VC / image stabilization while other don't, so i am guessing its a hardware thingy.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
yeah, i know and that is exactly why i am being patient on doing it. i have had the camera module with me for more than 2 weeks now.

To be honest, i came to this idea just because of the hype the media and the other members who actually believe OIS is something great and needed.

but as far as i have used my phone for photo's i never felt something missing, that is probably my usage of it.

I believe this is because the MAX is huge enough that we actually hold the phone in a more stable manner while taking pics.

I should probably try taking pics while on the move to see the actual difference of the OIS thing.
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
This. For anyone wondering OIS is not going to magically make the pics any better. If you dont like the still shots it takes you will not like them with ois. Just my .02.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Absolutely !
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
Interesting... If you try this oit let us know. I cant think of changing phones any time soon but if the pictures would get that much better then I am all for it.

Btw I owned two different One's and didnt find the pictures on it that much better.
[HTC One Max] keith843:
Im actually looking forward to the phone blox to become something of production. With moto and google backing the project it should happen.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klanum:
Been searching for last several hours and not resolution. Got the Gear and one of the apps is a voice memo which then transfers to the phone (Verizon GN3) for future playback. Problem is that when trying to playback on the phone of that file, there is no sound whatsoever. Checked all volume settings on phone and no reason for the silence. Just to make sure I "shared" them back to myself and played just fine on the PC.

Anyone know why this would not work? It's nice to have memo feature on the watch. While not the only thing it can do, it was one I was looking forward to use. Any ideas from anyone?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kragebein:
Hi, I upgraded my phone to 4.3, and ended up with a buggy phone. Firstly i wasnt allowed to turn on wifi, or update my phone.. or install KNOX. Also, my radio kept rebooting, especially after i've turned the screen back on, after having it off..

Soo, i rooted, flashed Echoerom and the wifi-problem dissapeared, but the radio problem is still there.

I heard Nexus people had luck on flashing 4.2.2 radio on their device, but i dont know if it will work with mine?

I9505, Nordic edition. I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505OXXEMJ8_NEE is in the bottom on my phone.

Not sure what kind of Radio I should flash, or where I can find it :p

You need the .cab file (Operator settings)

club i-mate has all operator settings in .cab format (copy to memory card and run it!).

But if you don't have access to their site, either search these forums for a .cab file (Orange operator settings) or contact Orange themselves (whilst they may be reluctant at first, their technical support guys will guide you through the settings or send them to you in txt format via e-mail and you can input them manually).

Hope this helps. Worked for me with o2. 8)

If anyone already has this cab file, would you mind uploading it for those who need it or pint them in the direction of a download link? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
I recently rooted my device with the CF-root .bat file listed on XDA and then I installed the Franco Updater app to flash the Franco Kernel

Before deciding to do this I was using the Antutu CPU master app and was happy with the 'powersave' governor. I was hoping if this tiny app had this feature, then the widely accepted Franco kernel would have the same too.

However I only see 2 Governors listed, Interactive and Performance. I was curious why there were only 2 governors listed, and why did Franco only include 2 in the Nexus 5 kernel.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Firstly, i have just received my m5000 that i bought from ebay.

i am a novice and i do have loads of questions. i do hope, although some of the questions are likely to be stupid, that i will not insult you.

roms

as far as i understand, this is the combitation of design and software that can be installed on my device - am i correct?

Also, from reading the forum, the most popular rom is o2 exec - is it worth overwriting my orange rom? if you had m5000 - would you do it?

does this o2 exec rom have tomtom navigation? or how can i add it?

Device itself

How to switch the thing off??? this question puzzled me for the whole day - how do i completly switch off this thing to change the simcard for example??

games :)

Are there any good games i can download? :)) What will you recommend, as it got boring at work lately :)

simlock

my device is locked to orange, but i use Three. Is it worth getting this unlocked at orange (i will have to contact the seller, pay 20 pounds, etc...) or would you in my place just get the orange sim for now? I know there is no exact answer to my question, but what will you do?

sorry again for some basics, i hope i did not annoy you too much!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] johnnie82:
Switching off

Hi,

You can switch your M5000 by entering the program called "Wireless Manager". In there, click on "All Off". You will notice that you mobile network, bluetooth and Wifi will stop. Then you can just power off your M5000 and wait for 10 seconds before you can remove your battery.

That's how I will switch off my O2 Exec.

Good luck!

Regards,

Johnnie
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rottie:
And why? I just take the battery out if I wanna take the SIM out :lol:

IGS, please respect time of people here and spend some time researching first. Read the posts from last few days, use search function, use google. All the answers are there. And only if you can't find it then ask questions like this.

To get the navigation software and hardware - you have to buy it

If you wanna use your 3 simcard, unlock the device, if not, what's the point?

ROM is like Windows on your PC, an operation system without which your M5000 won't work.

Games: there is a very good topic called GAMES FOR EXEC :P

Hello, I want to flash the German stock Rom on my french n9005. I don't have root and the device is completely stock.

The reason why I want to change to German stock is that the camera shut sound cannot be disabled in the french Rom without rooting the phone which would void my warranty.

As I have never flashed a Rom, what do I need to do?

Am I right that by replacing the stock rom with another one I won't lose warranty (because the internal counter will not be affected)?
