Well this is great news. Maybe i'll run it over the holidays for the Camera. Can't wait to see what our great Devs can do with this!

great, permalocked bootloader :(. The Sprint and T-mobile versions were cracked though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kirkwoodlucas:
Someone said delete the new boot loader in the update zip, that's what they had to with the old Motorola.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Sprint and TMobile are never locked. Just Verizon and ATT. This is basically same as S4 and it has never been unlocked. They are blowing Q-Fuses like old Moto. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] saldomontoya:
So seeing that Beans hardbricked his S3, is the only way to unroot back to stock, re-lock the bootloader, and then get the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bobby_C:
Pretty much. I tried to update and it failed. I'm rooted on stock TW and unlocked. Tried a few things and I can't even get back to a stock unrooted rom :eek:

I guess I'll wait for a rooted rom.

I don't know why but in my girlfriend's Nexus 5, the songs she puts in the Alarm folder are not showed in the alarm settings. In mine I do not have such issue, just moving a song to the Alarm folder and it appears in the settings. Tried a reboot, but still they don't appear.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vichimp:
just put it with computer in alarm folder...and it will show...if you download from phone and transfer with file explorers will not show....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yzT:
transferred it using "Wifi File Transfer", same as in my device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightfishing:
as vichimp wrote, it's bug with the Nexus 5. Plug it into a Windows machine and copy the files over and the phone will see them. Some folks have had similar success with other methods (search will pop up many threads) but the usb copy seems to be the most reliable.

Hello

I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2507905 to root my new Nexus 5 and flashed this rom http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2528265 onto it, when I tried to boot it up it got stuck in the boot animation so I rebooted into recovery and wiped the data, cache partition and the dalvik cache and tried to boot it up and encountered the same problem so I went to reboot and it wont boot back up not even to the bootloader and when I plug it into my pc its unrecognized and wont even show charging animations

Did I brick my new phone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Press and hold volume up then connect usb cable, what the result?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smragnol:
same as above, nothin.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Then it is bricked :(, but I don't really understand how could fromating data, cache and dalvik cache destroy the bootloader :confused: . There must be something wrong those recoveries, because you are not the only one
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Did you ever check the md5 of the rom you flashed? It could have been a corrupted download
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malibu_23:
does your bootloader work? hold the vol up/down and power on boot. if u can get to the bootloader u can save it with wugs nexus tool.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you can get into bootloader you can save it without a tool kit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenenser83:
Do this if u can't go into recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513937

But if u are able to go into recover, just flash any other rom, make sure you before flashing u do a factory data reset, and after finished wipe cache/dalvik always so u dont go into bootloops.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smragnol:
Through some miracle I was able to get to the bootloader (sat there and held the vol and power buttons for like 3 minutes while my pc dinged and donged as it disconnected and reconnected) but I'm unsure of what to do now. Should I keep trying to load a custom rom on it or just go back to stock? and either or how am I going to get the rom on the internal storage as its still not being recognized by my pc (but I do have fast boot access)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I'd flash the factor image with fastboot and start all over
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Stay away from tool kits. You got enough problems on your hand
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smragnol:
Alright so I got the stock os flashed on there and booted up and everything is looking goood, thanks guys for all your help I'll be sure to come back if I have any more problems

Glad to hear you're back up and running. Google md5 checksum and make sure the roms you download are good. I think that was your problem

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincent514:
I just received the new Nexus 5 (dec 17). I am using it with StraightTalk (AT&T network).

Since I activated the phone, I am experiencing slow internet and connectivity issues.

The network indicator on my phone indicates 'LTE' so I know I am connected on the LTE network.

I used the Speedtest app to determine my internet speed. Here is the kind of speed I have (in download):

With 1 bar signal strength: < 1 Mbs

With 2 bar signal strength: 1 to 3 Mbs

With 3 bar signal strength: 3 to 5 Mbs

With 4 bar signal strength: 7 to 15 Mbs

In average, I have no more than 2 to 5 Mbs in San Francisco. Strangely my upload speed seems almost normal, and is always higher than my download speed (as high as 5 times higher), which is weird.

It seems rather slow to me for a LTE (4G) connection.

People are reporting speed as high as 25 Mbs with the Nexus 5 (even on StraightTalk), and 15 Mbs with only 2 bars of signal.

I know many things could explain a slow internet on a mobile phone: your local LTE network, the setting of your account by your network provider, your network setting in the phone (APN), a defective phone, etc.

In order to eliminate most of these possibilities, I would like to know if anyone is using the Nexus 5 with StraightTalk in the San Francisco area and is having higher average speed than what I have?

If it's the case, I would have to conclude that my phone is faulty.

Thanks!

For information, my APN setting is the following (recommended by StraightTalk Costumer Support):

NAME Straight Talk

APN tfdata

Port 80

MMSC mms-tf.net

MMS PROXY mms3.tracfone.com

MMS PORT 80

MCC 310

MNC 410
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just because your lte can be as fast as 25mbps download speed, it depends on your locality, your distance from the nearest tower, how busy your local connection is.. among other things. if someone else is using the exact same service as you, but are in a different location of san fran, and are getting 35mbps download speed, and you are just getting 5mbps download in your location, thats still normal. im in nyc, sometimes i get 38mbps download speed, sometimes i only get 7-8mbps, depends on my exact location and how busy that local network is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincent514:
Hi simms22, thanks for your input, it's appreciated.

My understanding was also that bandwidth will depend on the local network (as well as all the other things you mentioned), for example att/straighttalk network in Miami is different than att/straighttalk in San Francisco. That's why I asked if there was anyone using the Nexus 5 with StraightTalk (or any provider using the AT&T network, such as Aio or GoPhone) in the San Francisco area? And what internet speed they were getting on average? I am curious to know if it would be similar to what I am getting: 2 to 5 mbs on average, and never higher than 15 mbs...

I took this volume mod from the t-mobile note 3 section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469463

we cant install a zip from a custom recover but we can take the file and copy it to the system folder manually. worked perfectly for me using root explorer.

Please make sure to backup ur original file before replacing with the new modded file. after install restart ur phone and get ready for some increased volume lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Thank you for sharing this. For me, with custom equalizer settings the Note 3's volume takes a hit.

EDIT: Argh. Never-mind, It doesn't work with my bluetooth headphones.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
I can edit any volume spectrum on the file if you need help...just remember to open that zip file.. And simply backup old file and replace it with the new higher volume file..change permission and owner...and reboot....My phone is insane loud now...

My ear piece seemed so low..and now it's extremely loud...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Can you change the volume for bluetooth?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
Did you try the mod the op linked the thread too? I used the medium loud version and was plenty loud for me..but if it's not for you I can make it a little louder for ya..post your file here and I'll touch it up for ya..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Are you using wireless headphones? I tried all three files and there was no difference. I am connected via apt-x so perhaps the mod only boosts SBC volume and not apt-x? I am not sure.

Ideally I would just like the Bluetooth volume boosted. I don't really need the others. I attached my file. Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
I only edited the "Headset Rx device" to 2.70.5% There seems to be no values within bluetooth like you said, but it seems to revert back to headset sbc settings....so lets try this. I don't have a bluetooth to test this on.

KEEP A BACKUP.....Just in case ok...

https://db.tt/RJQTzei4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Thanks. So...I named my old with .bak at the end and copied the new one but now my phone won't boot past the AT&T logo. I had changed to the correct permissions and everything. The original is on the phone but I also attached it above. Question is; How do I get it back on my phone or restore the one on there?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ekerbuddyeker:
You can use flash Gordon to flash these.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
I'm guessing all I need to do is somehow flash the one file but how do I this since I can't boot?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] oreizinho:
can i use it on stock rom?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] hipporun:
I don't see why not.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
Archie87 the file I sent above was just to copy and paste where your old file was...Did it make the bluetooth louder?

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

What did you do for the phone not to boot up am curious? If all you did was just copy the volume file I posted for you it was nothing more then I edited the headset rx volume just a little more then stock..Didn't change or mess with any other volumes...Very weird that happened or did you flash the files from the link the op has? No one has to flash ANYTHING just side load it...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
I removed the .txt because I didn't see a .txt file in the folder. Lol. It's working now, I was able to flash MJ5 via the MJ5 restore thread. Bluetooth is as it has been though. Should I try again? =X
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
idk...Your Dangerous lmao

Just make sure the file is the same type...I just uploaded it to dropbox i didn't zip the file i don't believe the file typed changed...As long as the files type is the same,,,MAKE A BACKUP FIRST..then copy or move the file over to where it belongs change permissions and owner then reboot...Should be fine...Im curious if it did change the Bluetooth volume though :) ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Lol. :silly:

The size is different from the default file too however, 98kb vs 158kb. When I click your dropbox link it shows the correct file but when I download it, it's a .txt file. I have a feeling it's going to have the same effect so I'm wary to try again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
I believe I saved your file,ill just zip it for you then extract it..then copy and paste it in the right folder...change permission and owner and reboot...

Question that is strange my file is 158kb in my system/etc. As well? When I extracted your zip that file was smaller for some reason?

Let me confirm..Your on AT&T Samsung note 3 correct? I'll just copy mine straight out of my phone and hopefully change that value that will increase Bluetooth.

Try this one...see if you think you notice a change in Bluetooth volume..if so then I can change it higher.. https://db.tt/RJQTzei4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Ok this time the file is the right size but it still insists on adding .txt. I removed it, copied to the folder and it worked but I don't notice a difference. I am indeed using AT&T note 3 btw.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wish777:
Ok..thanks for testing the file...I mailed the op who modded the first volume file. Maybe he will know how to raise the Bluetooth volume.. I tried ;(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] archie87:
Thank you for trying. :) I'm actually ditching the bluetooth headphones because they're not working properly anyway.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] emart92:
A something like this would be great for bluetooth this is a great mod.

hey all,

I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting

I've been searching online on how to root a nexus 4 using a mac.. every single guide is different, some skip the unlocking bootloader part, some skip other parts, and most guides are just outdated.

I'm running on absolute stock, 4.4.2.

What's the best (and most current) guide out there? I'm interested in rooting my phone mainly so I can get LTE access.. do no care too much for non stock ROMS (not yet at least)

update:

I set up adb on my mac and unlocked bootloader, that was easy.

I'm following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018179

so now I'm confused about the whole Rom part.. which one do I download? There's a ROMs column, a stock recovery, and stock touch recovery. What are those?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuoko5:
You don't have to install another ROM. You can just download the recovery (CMW for mako touch or non touch) in the post. Also download the su zip tot get root acces.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beegbear:
ah, so the touch column is all the 'stock' roms. how do I know that it's the latest 4.4.2 stock rom? will be able to do OTA updates after I flash the mako touch?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuoko5:
If you're device is rooted I think you won't be able to install OTA updates from google anymore. But, you can flash these stock roms easily. I'm sure people make flashable zips of every new version of Android. About the columns: ROMs=you can download custom roms (you don't need that); Recovery and recovery touch is basically the same thing. The difference is one recovery can be controlled with the touchscreen and the over with the volume and power button. It's just what you like best.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beegbear:
I guess I'm getting some terminology mixed up, it seems that no matter how much I read about this I still can't quite get a grasp of it

What is the definition of CWM (clockwork mod), what exactly does it do?

What is a factory then? (when someone talks about flashing a factory image, I thought that's what CWM is, what's the difference?)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankurcul:
Cwm(clockworkmod recovery) is a side load which helps u to flash different ROMs and zip files. It also helps u to wipe battery stats, partition sd card(not with case of n4)

Factory image is the stock ROM that Google provide that u r having in your nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lt.Win:
And regarding your previous question of OTA updates, You'll have to flash the stock recovery if you're on CWM or TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project - Many people recommend this one, I use it myself) and you shouldn't have made any changes to the system files of your stock ROM.

You will receive the OTA if you have modified anything in system, you just won't be able to flash it. And you can also flash the OTA with TWRP instead of stock recovery. Root does not matter, although it will be lost after you update. Before updating, also make sure you're not using a custom kernel. Kernel: The "thing" that android runs on. It's the heart of the OS, you could say. No kernel, no boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beegbear:
So let me make sure I'm following this..(sorry, I'm sure you saw such questions countless times before)

CWM (or TWRP) is a custom recovery instead of the stock 'recovery' option that's found in the bootloader. If I choose to go with either CWM or TWRP, how much of an issue is it to flash back to stock recovery? would it be done through ADB the same way the custom recovery was flashed in the first place?

As I understand.. the first thing I should do after unlocking the bootloader (already done) and flashing a custom recovery (not done yet) is to create a backup through the custom recovery. Does that back up the radios as well? If I decide to flash the all in one LTE zip and it doesn't work or what not.. will using that recovery flash back the old radios?

Now to the actual rooting..

so flashing super su is what actually does the root? How would I go about returning to complete stock if I ever need to? (stock recovery, remove root, lock bootloader)

When flashing a different ROM, how come I need to make a backup of my apps? what if I want to start completely fresh? Would I not be able to go to the playstore after flashing a custom rom and downloading everything I need? or there is not going to be a play store after flashing? (that's why GAPPS are needed?)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beegbear:
so I rooted and flashed the hybrid radio, works like charm!

I answered most of my own questions in the post above just by going through the process.

What happens if I decide to factory reset through settings? will CWM stay? will the root stay? will the lte fix stay?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maulich:
Yes...yes...yes.....you really should take advantage of the countless guides people have written explaining all of your questions.

That cheaper plug still works (N2 plugs, etc still work on N3 just not USB3)

However, thats making the phone stand up on its own weight almost & is puttting more stress on the plug then there really should be (hence the cheapness, bad not thought out design) I actually had a iphone 5 dock from china that I got for $4 the lightning plug snapped off from the phones free standing weight.

Ive owned those cheapy chinese docks for other phones, and...Honestly NOT worth the money even at that price. Finding one that has actual support behind the phone would be better...
