[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoyo-san:
Dear all,

I am new on Android, the Nexus 5 is my first android device. I freshly come from a 5 years old iPhone 3G.

2 Weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader of my device and rooted it following the tutorials provided by the XDA community without any problem.

Today, I saw that the OTA to upgrade from the Android version 4.4 to the version 4.4.2 was available directly from the device.

Since I did not want this update to be a problem with my rooted device, I downloaded the following apps: BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices and OTA RootKeeper (I do realize using RootKeeper was stupid since anyway the last update was released on July 25, 3 months before KitKat...). But anyway, this is what I did. I used those apps to Lock my Bootloader and unRoot my phone, thinking that this will reduce the chances of potential conflict with the OTA update.

Afterward, I downloaded and tried to instal the OTA directly from the Nexus 5. It ends up that I got stuck on the recovery menu. It was then impossible to get back on android and I did not know what to do.

This is where I did something totally crazy. Usually I spend time reading tutorials and finding information before doing anything that I do not fully understand. But at this stage I simply thought that the update could not properly instal due to the root. So I went on Advanced Wipe, I ticked all the options (data, system, Cash, Dalvik... all of them), and wiped the device.

As a result, my Nexus 5 has currently a Locked Bootloader and no OS installed. This means that I cannot activate the developer menu (no OS) to tick the option USB debugging. Thus, I cannot unlock my bootloader and in consequence I cannot instal the factory image and get back to stock.

Please, If you can give me some advice, explain me how can I unlock the bootloader in these conditions. Let me know... I really don't know what to do now.

PS: sorry my english is not perfect but I do hope you clearly understand my problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You've got it all wrong. You do not need USB debugging to unlock bootloader. to unlock bootloader you must use FASTBOOT commands, which means you MUST be in the bootloader itself. USB debugging ONLY works in android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoyo-san:
Dear RootSU,

So this means that I am not stuck at all and that I am simply limited by my current knowledge about android?

If this is the case, then "alleluia"! I will document myself to be able to fix this thing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Pretty much ;)

You should be able to unlock the bootloader as you did before.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggreen:
Boot phone to fastboot mode, download fastboot and adb kit to you computer... it can be found here on forums easy, and in comand line to unlock bootloader you need type "fastboot oem unlock".

More complete guide you can find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507905 =)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoyo-san:
It's ok now!

As you said, I could unlock the Bootloader the same way I did before. Then I install the factory image 4.4.2, which I rooted directly.

Thanks a lot RootSu, you've shown me my mistakes and put me on the way to fix my problem.

Thanks also for your concern Biggreen. =)

Problem solved!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoyo-san:
Dear RootSU,

One more question, could you explain me why I got stuck into the recovery menu when I first tried to update via the OTA? Will I get the same kind of problem when I'll update with the v4.4.3 in the future?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I am not sure on the extact reason. OTA itself will not install with a custom recovery. You have to download the OTA and boot to recovery then manually flash.

There is a good "OTA Helpdesk" sticky thread in general you should read as theres lots of advice there

Hey guys

Today I was restoring my phone back to the old gingerbread ROM. As the site i was at to download the rom, it said it was removed so I googled for the rom and downloaded and flash, but unfortunately i saw the wrong thing at it was actually the SCH-i500's ROM. So now I'm stuck.

Can anyone provide help? Kinda urgent

Thanks in advanced!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
use the gingerbread JVU ROM with PIT and flash as per this guide to solve your problem or use a rescue kit, will do the same thing

As a request from some XDA members I made this guide,

so if you made a bootanimation using this method share it with us here.

what you need to get started

For Creating a Bootanimation :

So Bootanimation is simply a collection of .png/.jpg pictures Stored into a zip file.

If you opened a bootanimation.zip you’ll find this :

And sometimes there’s another folder there “part2”

folders like part0, part1, etc... Store .png/.jpg pictures of the Bootnaimation

the desc.txt file contains all the necessary info like resolution fps, etc …

As you can see in the image :

Notion : Usually, part0 is The Beginning animation, part1 is The Loop animation and part2 is Shutdown animation.

Let’s start by creating a Simple Bootanimation :

When you finish that.. it’s time to create the desc.txt file :

Important : SET COMPRESSION METHOD TO STORE or else your bootanimation won’t work

Congratulations! you just made your own bootanimation.. Remember to share it with us :D

[General Topics] Truepeace:
If you downloaded an app that requires Amazon app store verification and for whatever reason you want to bypass that,

Download Lucky Patcher (you can find it in Google) and search for you app, long press it and choose Remove License Verification, Auto Modes, just check "Auto Mode (Amazon Market)" and press Apply.

Now try launching your app; in my case, it redirected to the amazon appstore website.

So just download the amazon appstore and install it (around 5 mb). You do not have to login. Launch your app and it should work, if it doesn't re-patch it the same way with Lucky Patcher.

Hit the Thanks button if that helped.

Note: Trying to use your app with Freedom will remove the patch so just don't use it.

[Omni Features Development] ggouguet:
good Morning,

on the forum about omni rom for i9100 a lot of people explain problems with SD card for install or move applications on.

On CM 11 the problem doesn't exist anymore due to the modification in the review 53644 if my memory is good.

modification of fstab.smdk4210 and the init.smdk4210.rc

Could you analyse this and apply a solution for this problem.

if you need help to test the solution i'm ok for.

Best Regards

PS: thank's for this very good Rom

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neopl666:
Hello everyone,

This is my first post here, I'm hoping to be in the correct section, and I'm also hoping that this isn't a bit too much for the first time!

I looked all over for the solution to this problem I'm having, but unfortunately, everything I have found so far relates to the old Tasker, and since the new one is quite different (and since I'm a big time Tasker noob and beginner) I could not quite crack this.

On my Nexus 5 I would like to use Tasker with Synker plug-in to sync only Gmail when I'm on a mobile data netowrk, but when I connect to any wifi, I would like to sync everything.

I've been trying to do this and I have come up with two profiles (which don't work)

''Mobile Network ON ON ON ON + NOT Wifi connected = Tasker Gmail Sync''

and

''WIFI connected + NOT Mobile network on on on on = Tasker Sync All''

Unfortunately, the above profiles do not work in a way you would expect, it is as if they were not even there. Could somebody please tell me how this can be accomplished. Thank you very very much in advance! I'v been breaking my head over this for hours....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritchiejoe:
I'm no expert on tasker but I will give it a go

New profile > Time > Repeat every 30 mins ( you can change duration)

+ > Task > If > %WIFII ~ *virginmedia* (replace virginmedia with your SSID, Leave the * at the start and end)

+> Plugin >synker force sync> configuration > tick everything you want to sync when on wifi >save

+> Task> Else

+> plugin > Synker force Sync > Configuration > just tick gmail.

+> Task > endif

This will only work on One SSID at the moment, but I will have a think how else we could do it. In the meantime you could just repeat the profile for the Various SSID's you use, not ideal but will work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neopl666:
Thank you for your fast response. Unfortunately, it either did not work, or I am doing something wrong... Tasker did not indicate the profile to be active, and when I was not connected to wifi my Google Keep would still update. Please refer to two screenshots I took to rule out a mistake on my part.

EDIT: the profile in question is the one on the bottom. I set it to short 2 minute interval purely for testing purposes.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone with the right Dev skills and some free time could work on bringing Omni ROM to the Moto X... I know we don't have much interest in these custom ROMs cuz we would be loosing the brilliant features we paid for... But you gotta say OMNI has some pretty cool features like split window etc as well.... So what say?!?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladk2k:
Hi everyone.

After a sudden heavy rain, I got some water in my Gnex. I tried the old bag of rice trick, only to find out the USB port was not functioning any more, neither for PC connectivity, nor for charging.

Following the advice of a person I no longer consider my friend, I tried spraying some Isoprpyl Alcohol in the USB port. It did get it to work correctly, but it damaged the digitizer, meaning I get random touches on the lower part of the screen (where the Back, Home and Recent apps buttons are).

I took the phone to a service centre where they tried to clean it, but the issue remains. I'll go there today with my wife's phone to see if it's indeed a touchscreen issue or a motherboard issue. I'm not sure if I want to invest in a new screen (over $100 + maybe a new back cover since the current one has quite a few scratches and cracks) and I'm thinking of maybe upgrading to a Nexus 5 or Xperia Z (the latter being waterproof).

The question now would be, could I do something with the hardware? Like, root it, connect it to my wifi and use it as a web server, or connect it to my TV through an MHL adapter and get a "smart TV". Can I get it to ignore touches on the screen completely, and only accept an OTG/bluetooth mouse input?

Any idea is welcome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] panosx:
One day I got caught in a storm having my Gnex in my pocket. Vacuum and rice tricks didn't work completely, as the phone was working properly besides recognizing the sim card (Mboard issue). What I did was buy a broken screen nexus off of Ebay, and exchanged the screens.

Now I have a fully working mobile phone, plus an MHL connected - XBMC enabled smart TV box, connected with bluetooth mouse/keyboard.

Question: Why would you need to ignore touches on the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladk2k:
As I said, after spraying the USB port with isopropyl alcohol, it appears to have touches all over the bottom part of the screen, as if someone was constantly keeping 3-4 finger and touching away at the soft buttons. Cleaning the phone in a service centre did not help.
