[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
This is why I am opposed to toolkits in principle. They encourage people to tinker without first educating themselves, and without knowing exactly what they're doing. My philosophy is to educate oneself about things like adb, fastboot, android partitions, etc. before you start tinkering. Learn the basic principles, learn the commands, learn how to troubleshoot. You don't have to be a computer scientist to use these tools. The knowledge is invaluable and should you run into any problems during the course modding, you'll most likely be able to fix them on your own without having to come on here and beg for help. There is more than enough information at your disposal on these forums to educate yourself. It's true, these forums aren't as easily searchable as a search engine or encyclopedia, but the information is here and accessible as long as you do a little digging. While it will require more effort now than using other people's canned solutions, it will pay off in the long run.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
You guys make me happy! :D

The amount of people on xda who are advocates for staying away from toolkits have increased greatly the past two years. I no longer see as many "omg i bricked my phone!!1" posts as I did before. I can imagine it's because of users like you who spread the word and show new members that adb and fastboot aren't difficult to use and that actually learning how to use them will be beneficial.

I just wanted to say thank you! That is all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
It's for the reasons listed above that I went ahead and unlocked the device and installed twrp with fastboot, then flashed the super user zip with my new recovery. Appreciate all the input. I'm now happily rooted :)

Xda app at its best. It is not true that you cannot root without unlocking the bootloader. There was a quote there somewhere but got lost.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Actually it is true. You must unlock the nexus 5 bootloader to root

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
I guess theoretically you could root without unlocking the bootloader, but it would probably require a substantial amount of hacking. The phone I had before the N5 was like that, it was an AT&T Galaxy S4, and the bootloader was locked down, but it was still rootable with a CF script. Of course this is moot seeing as the Nexus is easily unlockable.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Lots of other phones can be rooted without unlocking the bootloader. Some don't even have locked bootloaders and yes, in theory an exploit could be found that roots this phone, however - in this nexus 5 thread, the op has asked a question and does not want an answer pertaining to theory or other devices.

When im answering nexus 5 specific threads, I shouldn't have to put a disclaimer that I am talking about the nexus 5. It is a given. Theory and other phones does not help the op root his nexus 5

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Not if you use this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

Unlocking the bootloader the first time requires fastboot, however.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Nonetheless there are instances where this will not be an option. It is entirely conceivable to accidentally flash yourself into a corner where you have stock or otherwise unusable recovery, and a non-bootable system partition. Should this happen, the only way to save your data would be if you already have an unlocked bootloader so you can reflash custom recovery and get in at your data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Funny you should post. I just derped root on my phone. With bootloader locked and with stock recovery, my only option to reroot is fastboot. =\
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Yeah... it happens.

In my case I had a situation with my Galaxy Nexus where its internal memory had a tendency to self-corrupt and render the phone into a mean boot-looping machine. Due to to the already-unlocked bootloader I was still able to get in and save my text messages. I would have been able to save my files photos and app data too but I unwittingly flashed over userdata.img which blanked my internal storage including nandroid backup.

I have never had warranty issues with the bootloader so that is not a concern. I recognize though that an unlocked bootloader is a potential security risk if someone steals your phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
That's why I have it set up the way I did. Worked a little too well. :p

Hello,

I have bought one S2 from Amazon Germany and come with CyanogenMod.

I'm not specialist on this and I appreciate detailed informations, not to lock/block something.

So I was flashing a custom rom in CWM and it was just about to reboot when it said that it could not find the root files and asked if I wanted to install them. I clicked yes and now its stuck on the Sony sign. I can't turn it off or anything.

I tried using flash tool but it said i had to turn it off and go into flashmode which I have no way of doing.

Please help ASAP

Thannks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_Synergy:
This is not a brick, it is just a bootloop. i think, you didn't wiped data / cache ?! just flashed the zip?!

If you flash a rom with cwm, that is another rom then your actual one, then you will have to wipe data / cache.

So first go to CWM and wipe data / factory reset. then try to boot again.

If you need flashmode:

Turn off device (if it is stuck, press and hold Power + VolUp)

Then hold VolDown and connect the usb cable

PS: for the next time, try reading the pinned posts in dev forums before you ask such questions, cause this is BASIC KNOWLEDGE for flashing a device.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpawnCube:
Wow thank you so much :D

I thought it was a lot worse than it actually is lol
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_Synergy:
so i think it boots up again after wipe?!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpawnCube:
Yep :D

I just reinstalled the custom rom and everything worked fine
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_Synergy:
hmm you dont need to reinstall ... the important thing is WIPE DATA ... Android leaves files on the data partition that may not be compatible with the new rom and that then is a bootloop or other problems with the new rom. so everytime you flash a new rom, wipe data! :)
[Android Apps and Games] interamaster:
Hi guys,

I introduce you my 2 apks!!so far made then in b4a...hope you find them useful!!!;)

the first one is aZephyr:

aZephyr is an apk that willl make you forget your tablet or smartPhone buttons

with just 3 simple gesture!!

1º)Swipe Up from bottom of your android handle to simulate HOME button

2º)Swipe Up from bottom and then Down till the botton to simulate the POWER buttton(This require Admin Privileges)

3º)Long Press at the bottom edge of your handle to SHOW RECENTS APKS

So if you have a defective button, or you want to reserve them as new, or simply because it is much easier to use only gesture this is your aplication

Once the Aplication it is installed you can also view a video to see how it works

This is the DEMO version limited to 500 times

For less than a beer you can have the INFINITE version-:D

Go and find it on the PLAYSTORE (newbies do not have right to put the links!!:angel:)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
I'm pretty sure he's talking about what Slim has done with their ROM's. Just about all the left over holo blue(switches, loading bars, volume sliders, etc.) have been themed to a holo white. Makes for a much more uniform ui than the half and half scheme Google chose for stock.

I've been living (mostly) happily with my Kindle Fire HD 7" running BAM rom (the best rom ever) for a couple months now. I decided to upgrade to android 4.4. I went into TWRP to install the new rom, but it wouldn't install, so I decided to flash one of my recoveries I had made in october and it flashed it fine, but when it boots up now it won't even get to the blue Kindle Fire anymore, it's just a boot loop BEFORE it.:(

When I first did this I had basically no clue what I was doing so I didn't make sure that fastboot was working:eek: and it doesn't seem to be working now.

Please HELP!!!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
I had this happen to me recently. It's easy to fix, with the right tools. You need a Fastboot/factory cable (whatever you want to call it) that has a short from pin 1 to 4, and Kindle Fire First Aide (In the KFHD 7" General forum).

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
You don't necissarily have to buy one--I built one myself (with a little help from my dad). All you need is a spare Micro-USB cable, a soldering iron, a small strand of wire, and a bit of battery power left on your Kindle. If you want to make the job a little bit easier, you can also get a Micro-USB breakout board from SparkFun.com. They're so much easier to solder to than a plain Micro-USB end.

Hi. my first post here seems to be a issue, unfortunately, with my mom's tablet. So my sister bough a Christmas gift for my mom ... a cheap tablet called Orion TAB-700QC and it's so cheap that it doesn't any buttons beside Lock Screen/ On-Off. And a few days ago the touch screen stopped responding after boot and couldn't get beyond the lock screen and after an half of hour of rebooting it finally work and the touch screen started responding again. But a few days later it keaped giving an error that Google Search stopped responding and half the apps wouldn't work anymore so I tryd to do a Factory Reset and after I did that now it's stuck at the Boot Screen, and can't seem to go passed the Orion TAB-700QC ANDROID screen.

Any ideas how I could fix this issue (my mom really needs and wants this tablet functional soon)? And any ideas how I get the Recovery Mode because of the lack of volume buttons I can't find a way to force it to start in Recovery Mode with just one button (and a hole for Reset).
