No.. Try changing the kernel to speedmod... and then edit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CustomRomAddicts:
UPDATE:- Alright, i tried wiping cache and dalvik cache.. No use but one error popped up when i booting into the device " samsung syncadapters stopped " and " samsung backup and restore stopped ".. What this about?.. Anyway Edited the Values to default and restarted now!..

I am not sure about Speedmod cuz i am currently on X-Rom and i saw xperiacle mentioning something about speedmod creating some problem with this Rom and he removed it.. So any other kernel you recommend?..

But do we really have to change the kernel to edit the build.prop?.. There is no other way huh?.. It Definitely wont work in Philz kernel huh?. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
If i recall i read a few posts about build.prop changes and Philz recovery issues.. If you can use speedmod then i have no options.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootedDesire:
I was texting on my phone when it crashed. I was running SlimKat official release with franco kernel 25 for two weeks. Phone had been running great! Now it bootloops on the google logo and doesn't recognize the 32gb of memory. Wont mount any of the partitions in recovery. When in recovery (TWRP) and I opt to reboot to bootloader or reboot is says NO OS. Now as well all I can do with fastboot is relock the phone. I wanted to reflash the recovery to stock as Google will exchange the phone. When I try and flash the stock recovery in the terminal command window everything looks like its flashing good however when I boot into recovery it still boots TWRP.

Help please. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
what do you mean all you can do is relock the phone in fastboot? that doesnt make sense.

what commands are you trying to do when you flash the stock recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Flash the entire factory image. If you get errors your eMMC is probably toast and you should warranty it.

did you use toolkit for rooting?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
You ask because of his troubleshooting expertise or because you think that toolkits and CF.. are killing emmc?

I have seen this problem from people using the manual method and the toolkits as well.

I strongly think that the question to ask is whether they have a 16GB or 32GB phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
I think that toolkits are killing emmc because I saw more users who used toolkits for rooting, and then their phones just dead.But maybe it's just a coincidence..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Toolkits does not kill emmc. This is just coincidence.

emmc died on the phone

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I don't think it's tool kits either. Keep in mind that more people use tool kits than don't. So even though you see more of what appears to be emmc failure with tool kit users there are more of them. I've seen it with people who have not used tool kits a well as those that have.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
It's not toolkits. It's the luck of the draw. How many N5's sold compared to how many that have had fried nand is what needs to be looked at. That figure is going to be very hard to come by. It could be a normal percentage of failure or it could be high or low. Did Google cheap out on the memory to make the phone more affordable? Or did they put quality memory in and cut some other corners as well as cut their profit margin? All questions that none of us on XDA will, most likely, ever know. The one thing you can be certain of though, toolkits aren't the cause of these failures.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
I also had this problem, I couldn't do anyting. I left it sitting there for the night.

The next morning, it booted up like nothing happened
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootedDesire:
Google says they will warranty it however the bootloader wont stay locked and fastboot says it successfully flashes the stock recovery.

But when I reboot the phone into bootloader it says unlocked again and the recovery stays TWRP no matter what I flash. Im lost. It doesn't make any sense....

Looks like I may have to send it in as is however I'm concerned they wont warranty it when they get it back unlocked with TWRP.

That's because your eMMC is dead. It can't be written to.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeeV:
yet another brick in the wall

Just got the same issue. TWRP show internal storage size 0. Can't flash anything. Can't lock.

Is somebody researching this problem? I have several JetFlash USB drives. Sometimes they becomes read-only. But with their software I can "unbrick" these drives. Maybe, we can find a solution for our Nexus 5. I can participate in testing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Highly unlikely. AFAIK when your eMMC is dead, it's dead forever.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeeV:
But it's not dead. It is readable. I can't write. But, maybe there is a workaround like with JetFlash USB drives. I have 2 JetFlash sticks. They became read-only: I could read, but could't write, even with dd or fdisk (they works OK, but after reinserting everything is as it was before). But there is a software: it erases JetFlash drives and I can write again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawelss:
I had the same issue yesterday, I reflashed stock via fastboot and it fixed the issue, I couldnt flash/wipe/connect to adb or anything, when I tried to mount it showed internal storage size 0, so I went back to the bootloader and flashed all the stock stuff via fastboot and it did the trick for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeeV:
I can reflash a stock, but it writes nothing. It only shows, that it's writing. I can flash CWM instead TWRP. But after a reboot there will be my old TWRP. I can do "fastboot oem lock" and it show "locked", but after reboot it show "unlocked". All is read-only but no errors when writing.

Nexus 5 has Sandisk SDIN8DE4. In datasheet there is "Enhanced Write Protection":

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To allow the host to protect data against erase or write, the iNAND supports two levels of write

protect command 10 :

• The entire iNAND (including the Boot Area Partitions, General Purpose Area Partition, and

User/Enhanced User Data Area Partition) may be write-protected by setting the permanent

or temporary write protect bits in the CSD.

• Specific segments of the iNAND may be permanently, power-on or temporarily write

protected. Segment size can be programmed via the EXT_CSD register.

For additional information please refer JESD84-A441 standard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and "H/W Reset":

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardware reset may be used by host to reset the device, moving the card to a Pre-idle state and

disabling the power-on period write protect on blocks that was set as power-on write protect before

the reset was asserted. For more information, refer to JESD84-A441 standard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe, there is a way to turn off write protection of just do a hardware reset (but no to loose bootloader)?

Is anybody here familiar with eMMC, chips and JESD84-A441 standard?

But it has WP_GRP_ENABLE == 1 (Write protect group enable (0 - No, 1 - Yes))

What does WP_GRP_ENABLE mean?

Thank you! My CID is 45010053454d33324707d0211b359000. So we have the same eMMC and CSDs. But mine is in a read-only mode:I can see all partitions and read content of partitions, but I can't write, I can't mkfs (commands work OK, but with no actual result).

I have no other ideas what to check and what to do.

I have 16GB modell.

Maybe this problem exists only on 32GB modell? I mean the eMMC get bugged and change to 16GB mode. A friend of mine had a 32GB nexus 5 and after 2-3 month the flash chip died.

[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Now that the Z2 has been fully revealed, I was wondering how many Z1 owners were thinking of switching to the Z2 once it comes out. Both are so similar specs wise that for some it wouldn't make sense to make the leap.

For me, I'm probably going to stay with the Z1. The display is the only thing drawing me to the Z2 but I can't justify paying so much money just for better viewing angles. The rest of the software features like 4K recroding and tap2wake are going to be ported to the Z1 officially or through the devs so the gap between the Z1 and Z2 will be very small.

Thoughts?

note: This is only for people thinking about getting the Z2, and not another phone ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] rpcherrera:
The Z2 is a good choice for those who are coming from other brands.

I think it's not worth to sell our Z1 and get the Z2 (well if you want to always have the latest phone, go) as spec wise there is little improvement on the hardware. Lets wait for Z3 and see what it will offer.

Currently happy with my Z1, just the camera brings disappointment. Peace
[Xperia Z1 General] albertobom:
Hell no. I don't see any major upgrades that could justified the change.
[Xperia Z1 General] MADNJPN:
Well I was thinking about this too and here is my opinion: SONY has huge problems with phone overheating starting from S, Z, Z1 .. Almost all the phones have small defects for example camera button is very loose and it's a bit hard to take a picture without handshake on keypress, then my volume button became very strange it's like going to fall of, when I slightly press on it it feels like it was outside and then returned to its position, I mean that SONY has to think about build quality rather than releasing new flagship twice a month :D But from the other side there are no normal phones, I was thinking of Nexus 5 and G2 but I didn't like G2 UI and Nexus 5 Camera because it takes strictly 4:3 :D ... And as usual I'll say that I wont buy SONY again but probably will buy SONY :D
[Xperia Z1 General] HellRoot:
Sony makes new flagships all the time... perhaps i will wait a couple of flagships before i buy another one :)
[Xperia Z1 General] omegahanggara:
No way! I have to keep my money for nearly a year to get Z1. LOL. I'm very happy with Z1 tho, it's a decent device. There are a lot of proud and pride for having this device. Z2 don't have too big differences compares to Z1 tho, I think stick with Z1 and wait for new generation of Z family (perhaps Z3 or Z4) will be the best choice :)
[Xperia Z1 General] negrobembon:
This upgrade is mainly for Original Z users

The upgrade for us Z1 users is coming by the end of the year, im pretty sure

i will probably wait for Z3, and if that thing doesnt have decent developer support after a month or two i am going with whatever nexus phone is out by then.
[Xperia Z1 General] Don_Perrignon:
I'm thinking about it since the Z1s may or may not get root. There's a few people working on it. But, for me, I'm thinking of the possibility of us not getting root. I'd sell my Z1s to help by the global Z2. With the Z1s coming out about a month ago. Is it reasonable to ask for $500 or could I go higher?

Anybody know for sure whether or not the global phones will work on T-Mo USA's data bands?
[Xperia Z1 General] Vengeance66:
Agree! :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] raziel123:
Not Upgrading to a Z2, because,

1. I don't care about 4K, althoughit may be ported in the future. I hardly record video's in 1080P ...

2. Marginal Performance difference with a slightly faster Adreno 330 isnt. There is nothing available on the Playstore that needs more performance than a 2.15 Krait 400 with a 450 mhz Adreno 330 can deliver anyway.

3. Camera stuff will probably be ported in the future, even if it isn't I'm not fussed about it. It's just icing on the cake.

lol,

4. Don't care about Viewing angles because I look at my phon straight one, not at an awkward angle,

lol,

5. the pixel density is actually higher on the Z1, it's sharper,

6. another 200mah on the battery is a joke over he Z1's 3000mah ...

[Xperia Z1 General] Don_Perrignon:
Hey guys... no ASF on the Z2. I'll update later as to what type of glass. I'll be making plans on switching.
[Xperia Z1 General] raziel123:
Hope so,

anything less than a Snapdragon 805 processor and Adreno 420 isn't gonna cut the Mustard ...

hope they make the phone a bit smaller, otherwise we'll end up with a phablet at this rate ...

[Xperia Z1 General] thalada:
Nope.
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Agree with most of your points, but the display of the Z2 is a lot better than the Z1's. The loss of sharpness is negligible, but the new IPS screen tech is less washed out than the Z1's TFT screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] acidrums4:
They didn't even did something about those borders around the screen, OIS for camera or something that worth thinking about an upgrade. Small improvements compared to my beloved Z1. It's not worth buying a new flagship at least until a year or two.

[Xperia Z1 General] Deleted member 5204328:
Not a chance.

I find it a waste to upgrade to the Z2 if you already own a Z1.

I think that the Z2 will be the perfect phone to upgrade to if you are coming from another OEM, or you are coming from an Xperia device from 2011/2012.

Our Z1 is more than up to the task and in time it will have a community comparable to the flagships that came before it, like the original Xperia flagship, the X10 :highfive:
[Xperia Z1 General] marlowe551:
Bought the Z1 two months ago and there aren't enought improvements to upgrade to the Z2. Also I don't mind the viewing angles of the Display, and the software uprades will mostly be ported at the Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] barondebxl:
I agree. For Z1 owners definitely not but for someone like me who never owned a Sony device and was super disappointed in the S5? Absolutely. I love the Z2, I really hope Sony brings it to the States asap.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
a Definite NO for me, the hardware updates on the Z2 is too marginal, you wont even feel the hardware difference between the 2. not even the upgraded 3gb ram will make much difference... I open 3-4 apps at the same time and the Z1 doesn't even blink...

on top of that, I think Z1 looks better than Z2...

[Xperia Z1 General] Aidey68:
The Z1 is still a very high end handset and certainly at the upper echelons for gaming, To me the Z2 is the equivalent of the 4S / 5S which is minor update spec wise

I wish they introduced a 32Gb model worldwide instead of it being exclusive to one market this time too.

I am happy with my Z1, I would have preferred to have one with 32Gb onboard though

Living in Sweden then I've to say that selling it will be a pretty good deal since the price difference will only be 100$ and and that is with that new wristband which costs a 100$ so it's a pretty good deal for me. Prices tend to sit around on one spot a lot in Sweden before they go down so I will have time to sell it on a good deal and still just pay 30-50$ extra(-100$ for the wristband). Sell of my still new Z1 and I pay for the wristband that I was going to buy anyways, perfect deal!

The upgrade isn't good enough for Z1 users.

But yes, it is the best phone IMO. They perfected all the flaws of the Z1 and added some nice software features.

Yes, I'm moving when the price will be suitable (540$)

for me I'll move when Z2 will costs about 540 $.. and here are my main reasons :

1- Because I lost my DRM keys permanently :crying:.. and I'll be careful with my new Z2 :D

2- two frontal speakers on Z2.. I was on HTC ONE before Z1 and I would love to have two frontal speakers again :fingers-crossed:

3- Z1 TFT is amazing but I'm sure Z2 IPS will be lower typical power consumption.. although I'm totally satisfy with my Z1 battery performance
