[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Well, my friend, you will learn the hard way:cyclops:

I assumed that you knew how to flash a Rom since you where rooted and handling fastboot commands.

Main goal is to keep data. so, we have to flash a Rom without wiping it.

The current Rom got corrupted cause of the app you mentioned in post 1.

Recovery was not working at first, so that's why I didn't mention to do a backup.

Now download a Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518660

I flashed this one on top of my original long ago and it worked well. Hope it keeps data for you.

once downloaded, you need to put it into your phone storage by mounting "Internal Storage" in twrp.

then, go to "Install" and choose the Rom you download.

I the computer cant find the phone, there's another method called "adb sideload".

don't be afraid to keep asking questions/.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I'd use the flash-all.bat in the factory image and get your phone working again. Open a cmd window in the same directory as the flash-all.bat file and with your phone plugged into the usb double click it. You're going to lose all the data on your phone so if you can, back it up first.

Ive been trying for the past two hours to get the drivers for adb to work, I tried googles, naked drivers, and lg's There seems to be no way to get the drivers for adb fastboot works fine though
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Google tool adb fastboot drivers xda. Did you try that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
So I decided to just flashall but when I did i go the same problem as when I was trying to flash the individual system, cache, and recovery images were it will finish flashing and then when the boot loader is rebooted, it end up powering off and all the changes wont be saved. I have to then manually turn it on and put in into fastboot again
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
That doesn't sound good. Try something for me. In fastboot try fastboot oem lock. Then reboot. Is the boot loader now locked? (Edit, you can test it by fastboot devices) I'm guessing it isn't. Which means your memory is corrupted and you'll probably have to rma the device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
did you downloaded the Rom I linked? lets try with that as the flashall method did not work.

what operating system are you using on computer?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
Nope it doesn't retain the lock after powering it on again. What is rma

Then again it never really reboots, it gets stuck then I have to hold the power button and volume to get it back up again. And when do I get the 5 minute restriction between posts lifted?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
I have the rom downloaded and windows 8.1 I believe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Did you manage to move the Rom to the storage?

Also, windows 8,8.1 Need to disable driver signature before install naked usb drivers (I don't know if you ever did it or not) this is a guide to disable it

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
I got the phone to connect via adb but i was not able to move the rom.

C:\Users\nkkou_000\programs\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tool

SOunds like it did lock, that's good. In fastboot you're fastboot oem unlock. The follow guguti.... instructions
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
so, where are you at in the phone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
Can't figure out how to flash the rom. Also tried to create a backup but it asks for me to unlock the phone, although I am stating to believe that the datas gone anyway becuase in twrp under backup there is 0mb in the data, system, and cache partitions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
jd1639 suggested you to try again fastboot oem unlock

from cmd on fastboot cause it might be locked now, try it and report back
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
It says lock state unlocked

If it offers anything, I found an adb backup i made before unlocking back when I got the phone, but it is one my old computer with practically no means of getting it onto my new one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
this is the adb that i use which works for sideloading roms. Extract the folder and put the rom you dowloaded into that folder http://www.hugedrive.com/published/WG/show.php?q=RU5NQU5VRUwyNDAz-a8a1a0ba&mode=preview&file=Njk=

Then do this guide

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
When I go into sideload on twrp it automatically says that it failed. Then it gives a bunch of unable to mount '/data' unable to mount '/system' ect. errors.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
yo can go into twrp "mount" menu and check system and data so, they will mount
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:

I wish xda implements a chat system to make certain cases faster

So, you need to put the phone in twrp, connect it to the PC, on windows go to Start screen and type ' Device manager ' when it shows up, open it

and tell me what name and on what category is your phone there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
It is under android, listed as Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface

I think that chat thing is a good idea
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
go to the adb.sideload folder you downloaded, pres shift+right cklick on top of that folder and click 'Open command windows here'

It shows up :D but then fails to install.

I notice when I try it, every time I get the unable to mount /system, data, cache, persist, and firmware and storage
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Almost done. In twrp, go to mount and uncheck system and install again
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
In mount, everything is unchecked, and if I try to check anything it says unable to mount, whatever I tried to check
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Desconnect phone from computer, reboot phone into twrp, uncheck system, install rom
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2point:
Did that and the same problem persists, and I also notice that the file that was pushed to /sdcard is now gone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I doubt it was ever there ;) Probably just in RAM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Now that you know how, Put phone on fastboot, Reflash recovery (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img )

Then reboot on recovery, push rom again

(Adb push rom.zip /sdcard) then, unplug phone.

Do the rom install process. Make sure System is never checked, and check data and cache.

[MENTION=4314471]GUGUITOMTG4[/MENTION] Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it alot!!!:D But I believe that I have a hardware problem, I'll try my luck RMAing the nexus with an unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Its weird that the rom zip deleted itself.

I'm gonna do a research of nexus 5 with bad memory. I see many cases now from different users. I would try flashing Cwm recovery though, before trying RMA.

Read the Rma thead also. If not luck, maybe a remote asistance will let me help better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Trust me, I've got almost the same exact symptoms, and I'm fairly tech savy with this stuff. The phone is definitely fried. See my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2629591

The rom zip deleted itself because it was never really there in the first place, but instead probably just in RAM. It appears the flash chip has become read only.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
That's getting scary imo. I think there's a wave of defective Nexues around?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Well that's my theory, but I'll be risking coming off like a conspiracy theorist soon, and I *despise* those!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
lol, lets wait for a few more cases after today and then call it a what it looks like an epidemic, but would like to hear from 100% stock user with untouched bootloader but a similar problem.

I come from HTC devices where things are harder (believe it) and this kind of memory problems got somehow solved which keep me a bit skeptical as of yet.

I just wish Google accepts returns of unlocked phones especially since it shouldn't just damage when in use.

T-Mobile initially send me a new MDA; but it turned out to be a bad battery ... the MDA will not operate without a fucntional battery, even when connected to a charger.

Im on the official 4.3 stock rom. Did the cf auto root and tripped the knox bit.

The thing is in TWRP recovery you can nandroid backup of current rom and asked me what to backup featuring bootloader modem efs etc. And can restore back what was backed up before

I was wondering if someone still in 4,1,2 bootloader with rom too can makae nandroid back for us to try to flash with the old bootloader. Maybe we can overwrite the bootloader like nothing happened?

I think you can downgrade the bootloader using this.

Hello guys, I am on ine of the latest 4.3 bootloaders, I searched for how to downgrade the only way was by doc keton using 4.3 mj5 leaked version, but even this did not work cause my smart ass bootloader detected it as an unsupported version too, I simply went to samsung the guys there was very nice they downgraded my phone in 10 min on stock 4.1.2 rom with old bootloader it js like I just boot the phone, so y does not our developers figure this out cause knox is no e-fuse and samsung know how to downgrade it
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
1. Doc keton?

2. The knox security is a multi layer security. Though perhaps it is a software instead of efuse, it won't be as easy as flip ur palms.

3. Samsung may easily boot back ur phone, coz they have the tools (either software/hardware). So, it might look easy on u / whoever have experienced the same thing like u.

4. The dev here most of them are part time d3vs who just do this for hobbies on their spare time. And there's a bounty thread for this knox. My last read is around $3.1, and unclaimed.

5. Be patient mate.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwarwick3:
I've searched high and low and haven't found an answer. So here we go...

I have a stock Epic 4G running Gingerbread FC09 (firmware 2.3.6) that is activated on Straight Talk (Walmart Wireless!). I am able to upload new PRLs using QPST 2.7 Build 323. My problem is after the PRL is uploaded and i'm roaming on VZW, if I make a phone call, i get the message "welcome to Verizon, your phone is not active...". Text and data isn't working either. I have tried many different PRLs, all with the same result.

Is there a PRL that i can use to avoid the VZW activation or any other way around it? Can I possibly change some settings with QPST??

All i'm looking for is a way to roam on VZW with my Epic. I know it's possible with Sprint service, but I'm not sure if it's possible on Straight Talk.

My current PRL with ST is 32030

My friend with a GS3 on Sprint has PRL 25017 (he is able to roam on VZW)

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_You:
From some quick searching. Straight Talk does not provide roaming. That is why you are receiving this message.

If you want to roam on Verizon then I would 1) find a Sprint MVNO that permits roaming and 2) use the Roam Control app to force the Epic 4G to roam on Verizon at 800Mhz.

I use Ting (with the latest PRL) and enable forced roaming with Roam Control and it works great. PM if you want $25 Ting referral credit.

After activating with the new MVNO I would suggest installing CyanogenMod stable along with the temporary Samsung FC09 installation.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwarwick3:
I'll have to check out Ting, i'm not familiar with them. If they allow roaming on VZW, that sounds like the answer I'm looking for!

I searched the Play Store and could only fine "Not Roam Control". Is that the same as Roam Control?

Do you have a link for installing the CyanogenMod??

Thanks for the help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_You:
Roam Control is available here: http://www.roamctrl.com/

See the how to install CyanogenMod link on this page: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Epicmtd_Info

I only recommend installing the stable version right now if your phone is a "daily driver".
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwarwick3:
Understandable. Anything else you can recommend doing to the Epic 4g??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_You:
First off, I highly recommend you activate your phone on your new service before doing anything. Update Profile, PRL, etc. Make sure texting, calls, etc, all work.

After flashing CyanogenMod I would then install this temporary boot Samsung FC09 installation so you can update PRL, Profile, re-activate if neccessary, reset sensors, or make hardware configuration adjustments that are not available within CyanogenMod.

I like the Google Keyboard (Swype alternative). I'm using Visual Voice Mail v T.5.3.4.18 available somewhere around here. I've also downloaded the Ting app and Roam Control.

I think thats about it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_You:
You might also set animation scales to .5x ... Its under Developer options which can be accessed by selecting "System settings -> About phone -> Build number", over and over until Developer options is unlocked.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwarwick3:
I will take it all into consideration. I have the rest of this month with Straight Talk (since I've already paid for it), so it will be a few weeks before i make the switch.

Are you able to data roam on Ting? I can't seem to find a clear answer.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_You:
No Ting only provides voice/text roaming. Most (probably all?) MVNOs do not provide data roaming.

I also checked: System settings -> Performance -> Memory management -> Allow purging of assets

Seems to have freed up some memory.

Idk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johntuck77:
I would try the following

1) Reset the phone completely after you back up all your stuff. Go back to stock/factory reset. You always want to start with a clean slate.

2) Do the Verizon over the air update if there is one to get the MJE build if you don't have it already.

My phone wouldn't do the MJE update from Verizon so I found it on the internet and Odin'ed it on it. If you have it already you still might want to try finding it online and installing via odin so you know you have the correct build.

3) Download, and install Kingo root - this might take a few tries - I had to try twice until the root stuck

4) Once you are rooted go an install safestrap like any other app make sure that you are allowing off market apps so it installs

5) Once you have safestrap and the recovery go and install whatever rom you want - enjoy

Good luck with that :good:

I only use bluetooth in the car. I use it for calls and music. I have 2 cars that I need it to work for. I would imagine bluetooth wastes battery while on and not connected. I have searched for solutions. Most apps that do this in the market get bad reviews. I found a tasker profile that will turn off bluetooth after 3 minutes if it is not connected. However, when I get back in the car, I would have to remember to toggle it back on. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holtenc:
well you need a specific trigger that tells tasker to turn on BT.

for example, if you plug your phone into a charger every time youre in the car, tasker can detect that its charging and turn on BT while in a charging STATE.

Or, since you are most likely not connected to WiFi while in the car, set tasker to enable BT while NOT connected to Wifi.

I guess you could go so far as a location based trigger... but that uses GPS which in turn uses more battery....

Tasker is a powerful and flexible app.. I'm sure you can figure something out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotaryheadrx7:
I achieve this with the tasker plug-in AutoLocation. I have a GeoFence for my house, when I leave it triggers the Activity monitor. When the monitor detects driving Bluetooth turns on. I usually have bluetooth within 30 seconds of leaving.

Does this consume battery. Yes. In my case the hit has been very minimal.

You could also use NFC tags. I considered that but use AutoLocation for other tasks so it made sense for me.
