it think theres some problem with your bootloader or the downloaded file ,download the kernel again then try again

i was downloaded the kernel 3 time and flashtool always show like that..

If u have a 6503 then flash kernel for 6502 or vice versa;)

I want to install PA to my 2X. But I see in the forums that there is a new and old bootloader ( I'm assuming that what bl means).Anyway, how do I figure out if I have an old or new? I've got CWM 6.0.2.5 if that means anything

IGNORE MY QUESTION, I found the answers on the FAQ's.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streether:
Hi all -

So I'm just about to get my brand new N5 32gb black from Google Play (can't wait!) but I'm not sure how to use it to its full potential. I already read the beginner's guide on here, but I was wondering what I can do without rooting? I've been using an iPhone 4S for the last 2 years and had an HTC Legend before then that I did nothing with so I have no idea. I'm a bit of a noob so please be patient! I know you can download themes from Google Play but what's the deal with that? What's the difference between those and what you get when rooting? I really like how Google Now is front and centre, but can I install a new theme and still keep it so easily accessible? Like, how much can I customise how everything fits together? And how does that change if I decide to root?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Sorry, just realised this should go in the Q&A forum but don't know how to move it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi and welcome :)

At the top right of your post you have a report button (small triangle with exclamation mark), click and ask to move your thread.

Done for you ;)

For the rest, at the beginning I would say to get used to your new nexus 5. Mostly if you want to "customize" your phone the root will be necessary at some point. With a custom launcher (Nova, Apex for example) you can change the look of the icones on homescreen/app drawer, change the number of homescreens, change the number of rows/columns but if you want more (full theme) you'll need root (Xposed Framework with Xposed modules for example that allows almost 100% customization for example, custom roms, etc...).

Root allows access at the files system (in short) so you can modify a bunch of things..., without root about theming you'll be limited.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streether:
Thanks a lot, that's really useful. So basically all the themes/launchers on the Play Store are Google approved replacements that have various features (some of which being design features) to go on top of what I already have? So, will Google Now still be there when I swipe to the left or does it erase all that? Also, how do I change back to my original/a new launcher?

Then if I root, I can add unapproved launchers that have more customisability than what Google usually approves?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
You don't need to root to install any launcher.

Swipe to the left Google now will not work if you are not on the stock launcher. The swipe home button up does though.

Once you have a second (or more) launcher installed, an option shows up in your system settings, that let's you select which launcher you want to use by default. You don't lose the stock launcher by installing a different one.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjoostema:
welcome!

Welcome bud! The swipe-left-for-google-now feature is only on the stock nexus 5 launcher or google experience launcher(GEL), as it is sometimes referred to. It won't erase the launcher if you install a new one, it essentially just freezes the launcher you aren't using. In order to go from the stock launcher to others, just go to setting and there is a tab labeled "home." click on it and you will have the option of whichever launcher you want to run at the moment. I'm huge into tinkering with my device for customization and I've tried multiple ROMs and the rootbox option as well as simple play store options for customization...but honestly I'm now back on stock, unrooted. to me, this phone is absolutely perfect as is. There are a ton of options, even third party apps like lux auto brightness that allow you to personalize the aut brightness on your device. Pretty much anything you would "need" can be accomplished without root, though root allows for much better system customization. Again man, welcome. if there is anything I can help you with, just lemme know or PM me if you have any questions.

You can start searching for your favorite keyboard like swype or swiftkey. you don't need root to change that.

There are some nice emulators in the play store I think apple store doesn't allow emulators so there something you can do play games lol.

Now I don't know if this needs root but you can try this for some themes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Don't you mean what can you do with root?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can install something called a launcher from the Play store, such as Nova or Apex. These are home screen replacements. These will give you more customization, by allowing you to change your home screen grid, and/or apply icon packs. However, by installing another launcher, you will lose the "OK Google" and swipe to the right for Google now features. The choice is up to you.

For themes, you need to be rooted. These are themes that change your phones look, all around. I'll be honest, I wouldn't root for this. The android themes available aren't fantastic. If you want to theme, you can find tutorials on rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing ROMs here at XDA or YouTube even. If you are new to this, I would recommend CyanogenMod11. It is pretty close to stock, stable, and gives you a few extra features as well as a theme chooser which lets you apply themes from the play store.

Without rooting, you can install widgets of your choice, install replacement apps such as browsers or keyboards, and install launchers.

If you decide to modify your device by rooting, flashing a ROM, or unlocking the bootloader, take caution and be sure to follow the guides exactly as written.

Thanks so much for all the support, guys. Nice to be part of such a friendly forum. I see what you're saying about the stock Google launcher - is there any way to keep it and change the look of icons etc.? Or is it one or the other? Also, what's the difference between a launcher and a theme?

Someone mentioned Cyanogen Mod 11 if I decided to root - what exactly is that, and what is the difference between choosing that and another one?

Thank you all again, much appreciated!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello,

You can keep the stock launcher and change the look of the icons with "Unicon" (Play Store) but you need root and Xposed Framework.

Maybe Desktop Visualizer (Play Store) could do this also with the stock launcher (without root?).

A launcher can modify your homescreens/app drawer mainly, a theme can change the look of the whole system.

Cyanogen Mod is a custom rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2584004. For example you have Theme Chooser in this rom so you can apply some themes made especially for (take a look on Play Store for CM theme) .

After, why choose this rom or another... take a look in the devs forum, read the features list, changelog and feedback to see what rom will suits your needs.

For now keep your stock rom, root if you want, play a bit with the apps mentionned above to change the look of your stock launcher or try an alternate launcher. Then if it's not enough for your needs think about a custom rom.

But before, read closely the different guides and take your time ;)

I would unlock the boot loader before you even boot it up. All your data will get wiped when you unlock it. And we all know you will :)

What's unlocking the boot loader? And buy unlocking, do you mean rooting?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Read the first reply to your thread. The answers are there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
Unlocking boot loader is completely different to rooting thou usually done at the same time.

Root = administrative privileges to the whole operating system.

Unlocking boot loader = ability to flash other ROMs e.g cyanogenmod, omnirom and paranoid android.

There's plenty more than that they're just some popular ones.

Custom ROMs = complete replacement operating system usually based on android but not always look at Ubuntu or Firefox os

You know you could just look up one of the many noob guides. I don't think us telling you this is much good until you experience and learn.

Just reminds me how much Apple babysits everyone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0cky0790:
Whatever you decide to do make sure you read everything. From many many days of experience, rushing any process dealing with root/flashing can screw your phone up pretty quickly. Usually there are resolutions to most screw up's but that besides the case. Not trying to scare you but just trying to encourage you to keep asking questions with the addition of reading before making any modifications to your device. Welcome to the root world!?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
QUESTION: is there anyone else using a Note 12.2 with an rMBP or MacBook Air, (or any 2012-or newer model Apple MacBook) and the USB connection is fine?

I have a strange issue with my 12.2- I'm trying to get some insight if it's just mine, or can anyone else confirm this one way or another?

When I attach via USB to my 12.2 ONLY on an Apple MacBook (I can replicate it either with my 15" rMBP running Mavericks or a 13" Air running Mountain Lion) the MacBooks completely disable USB file transfer on the device- as in for good, including with any other USB connection on any other computer- until I do a factory reset.

File Transfer works perfectly on all of my PC's running Windows, and on a Hackintosh running Mavericks and my genuine MacPro running Mountain Lion.

It's only the MacBooks that kill the USB connection every time. After it happens, no other device will connect via USB.

It's not a driver issue or anything else- my MacBooks connect perfectly to my Galaxy S3, Note 2 and Note 3 using Android File Transfer. (And other non-Samsung Android devices I own). But the 12.2's connection dies every time, until a factory reset.

I'm thinking this is probably just an issue with my tablet, but would be nice to have some insight before I return it for a replacement. Also I want to make sure I don't just get the same problem happening again, if it's somehow a Apple/MacBook problem not the Note Pro.

Anyone have any ideas why just the MacBook USB ports (and two different OS's) would kill the Galaxy Note Pro? Like maybe they use a different type of USB 3.0 connection or something?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
Update: I was exploring the limitations of this issue- it only happens with the original dual Samsung USB 3.0 cable and the MacBooks. A standard microUSB cable and it connects fine and doesn't kill the USB connection.

Again, same Samsung USB 3.0 cable and any other device, no problem. Weird problem.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
I also could not use the stock USB 3.0 cable on my rMBP.

I'm guessing it's a USB 3.0 driver issue since even through a VMW Fusion virtual machine I could not get a good connection.

Thanks for the advice on the use of a USB 2.0 cable. It's not as fast obviously but works in a pinch.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
This has to be a hardware issue with the Note Pro.

Do you get the same problem? That connecting to your Macbook completely disables USB connections until you do a factory reset? (I'd love to know if there's a better way to fix the USB connectivity other than a factory reset. Nothing in the developer options does it that I know of.)

For now I think I'm still going to exchange for another and see if it's just a glitch with mine that the USB connection is completely killed. If it's true of all Note Pros then it's something Samsung needs to fix.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Not sure what you mean by completely disabling USB connections.

Host mode for external devices? I haven't done that with the tab yet since I don't have an adapter for it.

Or are you talking about only having one shot at connecting the tablet to my rMBP? I'd say no, I can plug and unplug repeatedly to my heart's content using a standard microUSB cable and copy files to/from the device without rebooting let alone factory resetting it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
Ah so clearly this is just my tablet.

Yes, I mean I get one shot to plug into either Macbook (using the Samsung USB 3 cable) and thereafter no USB transfer connection of any sort is possible. The tablet simply doesn't show up on anything. Not even with the standard micro USB cable, and not with any other computer. I have to do a reset to get USB transfer back. If I use the Samsung cable (or the same cable from my Note 3 so it's not the cable itself) with any other computer I own other than the MacBooks, everything is fine. Standard micro USB with anything including MacBooks is fine.

If I'm understanding you right, your tablet won't connect via the Samsung cable to your Macbook but at least it doesn't completely kill the USB transfer just by connecting it.

Any rate I'm taking it back in the morning, and bringing my rMBP to check how the replacement works.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Yep, just the stock cable that came with it doesnt work with my rMBP. At no time have I needed to do a factory reset.

I'm not on Mavericks yet, if that makes any difference or not I don't know.

Good idea to bring the computer in.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdagal:
The Note Pro 12.2 doesn't connect well with my 15" Retina MacBook Pro either via USB 3.0 cable. The tablet says "connected via USB 3.0" but Android File Transfer (what a piece of junk) doesn't see it. I haven't had to factory reset (which means wipe out) the tablet though. At worst, a reboot gets the tablet working with a USB 2.0 cable. With both 3.0 and 2.0 cable, the tablet shows the "x" through the battery indicating the Mac isn't outputting enough juice to charge, even over USB 3.0. Using a USB hub in general works better than direct connection to the Mac.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
Thanks pdagal. Does seem to be an issue with Macs and USB 3.0. An older MacPro with USB 2.0 works fine.

Took mine in and exchanged it this morning at Best Buy. The complete disabling of USB transfer was a unique bug. New Note Pro behaves like you describe- doesn't connect to MacBook via original USB 3 cable, but at least a reboot restores USB transfer function afterwards without a factory reset.

I hope a firmware upgrade will fix this entirely.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansto82:
I cant comment on the Note pro 12.2 but my note 3 i tend to use OTG cable and a thumb drive to push large files or use drop box. I could never really get android file transfer to even work consistently with my Nexus 10 running Mountain lion or mavericks on different macs.

Do you have Samsung Kies installed? If so it kills AFT until it's completely removed using the uninstaller.

Otherwise I'm surprised people have issues with AFT. It's always worked flawlessly for me on every Mac and Hackintosh I use. Even this issue wasn't an AFT problem at all.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansto82:
no never did have kies. I have owned Macs and Androids since the G1 and Nexus One and have never much had luck with AFT. I could get it to work every now and then but once i figured out a thumb drive and a OTG usb cable its been just easier to throw files on a thumb drive. But I dont move alot of files around unless its setting up a new phone. Now with my Nexus 10 I use the thumb drive to keep abunch of movies on it so i dont have to worry about space and i have stuff to watch while traveling. Speaking of Hackintosh AFT worked flawlessly on my wifes old dell netbook that I did the hackintosh on.
