The third post of this thread has a link to the images, but are you asking for separate images or one called bootloader.imgdata.img if so I'm not aware of this or its function, if that's what you're after maybe link the nexus 5 thread and I'll take a look
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

[MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION] guided you to the links, but I'm quite curious of one thing... The program you speak about will edit the bootloader image, in that case using the Nexus 5 one as a base. If I were you I wouldn't risk it. I believe that if you try it you'll have a serious problem of incompatibility, and if you, by someway, manage to flash this custom bootloader on your Nexus then you'll be messed up, after all, as it's the base of everything on your device, flashing a bad one can lead you to a hard brick.

I would like to give a look at this batch file as well, can you please send here the link for it?

Ok, thanks for the advice. I won't do it then. I figured it would work. Here's the link to the original thread over in Nexus 5...http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/tool-change-boot-logo-images-t2763698.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
The idea is good but as XxLordxX rightly pointed out you will damage your n10 using this method as it isn't made for your tablet. You will need a hex editor to decipher this partition and find the proper size header of these images or will almost for surely end up with a brick as your bootloader will fail

I'm sure it is possible to create a program to change these images on the n10 but be it would have to be device specific. If you're interested maybe post a new thread in the q&a section asking for help creating this or look to people who have made it for other devices

Best of luck!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subrad5446@aol.com:
I understand. My thought process was if I replaced the n5 image with the n10 image it would pull appropriate files from the image...that's why I was looking for it. But I don't know code or the way exe files are written, so I'll leave that up to people more knowledgeable than I.

Connecting a Hauwei Dongle E173-VTR to Nexus 10 Manta 4.4.4

Problem:

Need to use 3g on my Nexus 10.

I have WIFI turned off. I can't make a connection with the dongle. Blue light is flashing on the dongle but can't find it listed in the Settings - Devices section, so I don't know if the tablet even knows that the dongle is connected. I have an authorized Telcel chip (I live in Mexico) installed in the dongle.

Could be wrong here, but I have not installed PPP as I assume it needs a proper connection to a working dongle to implement a proper installation???

I have searched and read many threads re. getting a 3G connection using dongles. So much of what is written is for other tablets - devices and/or for other dongles. Based on these inputs, I am assuming that the fix to my problem is a new kernel (boot.img????) that provides drivers for the E173.

I assume drivers need to be compatible with Manta 4.4.4 build.

Possibly there is a generic Huawei driver?? If this is my problem and if anyone knows the exact file I need for my Nexus 10 and my specific dongle, I would appreciate that info.

Specs

Nexus 10 with Manta 4.4.4 build.

Kernel version 3.4.39-gd52af31 Fri Mar 21 2014

Build KTU84P

I have root priviledges (rooted), fastboot and adb.

I use Linux Mint 17 to interface with the tablet.

I'm new to Linux but can use terminal and enter code. I am an experienced programmer in windows

Venting

I can't understand why Google would design a mobile device without providing an easy method for accessing 3g. Also getting root privildges should be a simple built in process. Enough with the venting!!!

Reply to mrgnex re dongle question

mrgnex

I am still trying to get all the android language straight so accept my apologies if I miss something.

It is my understanding that out of the box means the software that was installed when I got the tablet. This table came with 4.4.2 (I think) which I eventually upgraded to 4.4.4 after I bricked (in my language trashed) the tablet while trying to get root privileges . It has been some time since I went through the process of fixing and rooting the tablet and at this time I am not sure exactly what I did. I believe I used mantaray-ktu84p-factory-74e52998. I believe this is a custom kernel as it allows me to root my tablet. I do have this file on my pc and can email it to you if you want.

As I said in my original post, I am able to connect my PC to my tablet via a USB cable when I'm using Linux. I cannot get XP to connect. It appears to be some problem the MTP function -driver.

device not recognized in fastboot while bootlooping

Hello all,

After attempting to restore back to 4.4.4 build, the device is stuck in bootloop with no access to android or to recovery.

Fastboot is accessible, but the computer will not recognize the device as indicated via the fastboot devices command.

I am unable to communicate with the device now and I need some help. what should I do?

Thanks for any suggestions

Hey there;

I am using windows vista, I have the sdk installed, and I was using the naked driver. I've since uninstalled and re-installed the naked driver. Until now, It has always worked flawlessly, with three different nexus devices.

I tried using terminal, and then wugs toolkit, neither of which recognized the device.

I was attempting to restore the factory image. The flash-all.bat script did not work, so I unzipped the file and flashed everything one by one, with not problems (well, the system flash took some time, and I got a strange message; something about a data limit, but it flashed anyway).

I have also tried using the different usb cables that came with the nexus 10, 9, and 5. No bueno.

What do you think I should try?

Thanks for your help also, its very much appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Try updating SDK and removing naked drivers, then manually select the new drivers in SDK. This should work as those are the drivers I use

Don't use adb in bootloader, use fastboot, so the command to look for is

fastboot devices
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Hi,

Didn't realize you were running Linux

Try this

./fastboot oem unlock

Or if you look to the thread post in this thread I linked another guide to fastboot that's more comprehensive.

Check your udev android51 rules, may need to.

But if it previously was working but now fastboot stopped I would maybe try to either end all process on PC or just simply reboot PC first
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Is it actually looping? As in starting over? Or just taking a long time? It took about 20 min for the first boot when updating to 5.0 on a couple devices, but only 5 or 10 min last time (both mine and a few others I have helped about 8 or 9 this past week)

And all I have kept the bootloader unlocked, some kept a custom recovery, some pure stock, and the ones I rooted were done so after first boot.

So I would let it run a bit longer, don't bother with locking but shouldn't matter, and if you decide to root it can be done whenever.

The lollipop update has been the biggest I have seen over all these years and probably the most issues for users, but after first boot all has been great for mine and those I worked with
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Glad it all worked!

I can't say for sure as I haven't checked it out but my guess is the first boot takes so long as data is encrypted by default and this can be a long process.

Either way these 5.0 updates do seem to take longer than others so my best advice to those updating is to do a clean install when possible and once the bootanimation starts walk away for a long time and don't check on it, when you come back it should be good, if not reflash and try again

Glad all is well for you, enjoy the lollipop sweetness!

Hi,

Try to flash a new custom recovery with fastboot (not with toolkit)

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Then flash new ROM in the new recovery
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lare01:
erased system and everything solved

thanks, I' ve tried so many things that I don't know which worked.

I'll explain:

I tried a lot of toolkit related things, than a lot of drivers, than odin, than fastboot with prompt of windows( and maybe this helped).

After all theese things, I was sad and tried to flash a stock rom ( 5.0) through wugfresh toolkit and it worked! Everything ok now. Maybe it was a rom problem (4.4)

So if you have my problem ( tablet boot just in download and fastboot mode and you can't boot in android or recovery) my advice is:

Install al the drivers and the most important are fastboot drivers.

then try to flash 2 or 3 different stock firm through wugfresh toolkit, remember to run it as admin and connect to 2.0 usb ports.

If it doesn't work try odin, you have to try different version of this exe.

the last chance is fastboot with windows prompt, for this search on the web and you'll find the tutorial.

thanks!

Hi, I decided maybe I should make things a bit clearer so it's easier for you guys to help me.

My device seems to be permanently stuck in Bootloader. When I try to get into recovery, it goes back to bootloader.

Wugfresh seemed to use fastboot to cllean out my system but the subsequent actions (in the rootkit fastboot cmd) were all failures.

When I try the method in ur 3rd post, I get an error when I try to fastboot the bootloader. When I try to run the flash-all.bat file, it says this:

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command. operable program or batch file.

[this is repeated multiple times until I am forced to exit]

I hope you guys can help me better with this extra info :)

Hi [MENTION=5419375]Koongli48[/MENTION]

So md5 and sha1 don't need to match each other rather the link provided in the download has a match to be sure it is correct and not a bad download

As for the xxx.img are you changing the name to match file name?

As for the not recognized issue that means you don't have the files in the same directory as the fastboot binary, which means either move them there or add a path in environmental variables

Maybe a quick summary of how to use fastboot will help

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Hey again,

It looks like you're missing some of the flashes

Try to copy and paste what need be from that thread

Like when you were flashing the system partition you left out "flash"

So it should read

fastboot flash system system.img

Not

fastboot system system.img

Think of it like this

fastboot ----- calling up the binary

flash ----------- telling what command to perform (same idea as erase, etc)

system ------- telling what partition the prior command should be applied to (boot, recovery, etc)

system.img -- this is the filename of what is on PC, in theory can be named whatever so long as proper type of file

So when earlier I asked if you changed xxx.img to bootloader.img or whatever, you need to make sure the filename matches the command

So let's say you have a recovery you want to flash and the image is named super-awesome-recovery.img

Be sure the fastboot command reads as such

fastboot flash recovery super-awesome-recovery.img

Hope this all makes sense, let me know if you get stuck and I'll just list all commands specific to file names in order if you need, but really easy when you get the hang of it

Erase

Flash

Reboot

Profit

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igeigeige:
Hi all, Im having a problem with my Nexus 10.. It all started when i received a notification prompt telling that an update (5.0) is available which is OTA. then I downloaded it.

After finishing downloading OTA files, it asks me to reboot, when i rebooted my device an android image with some 3D hologram on its tummy appears and said "system upgrading" or some sort..

After the bar is full, it says UPDATE ERROR then it reboot again and the image of the android lying on its back with a red triangle and exclamation mark appears below it appears the phrase No Command

I tried to reboot normal, but only the logo of google appears and went back to the no command image.

I tried the boot via recovery (power+vol up) and the recovery appears. I choose the Reboot system now. Again the logo of google appears again, and went back to the no command image.

I tried the bootloader, and it also work..

But still no, normal boot. WHat should I do?

1. Is there any possibility to back-up my files to my pc?

2. What can be the possible cause of the problem here?

3. How can I fix this without wiping data? or if the fix requires wiping data (least option) how?

Thank you so much in advance fellow xda!

Hey guys

For both you I would recommend to update the android SDK, at least the drivers, then uninstall whatever drivers are associated with your n10 and replace with the latest Google ones as they appear to have changed in 5.0 Or if using Linux update udev rules

Then download latest package form android factory images (link in third post here) then follow the steps in the third post

Wipe with fastboot

Then flash bootloader with fastboot

Then individually flash each partition

The reboot, give it some time as it can take up to 20 min on first boot for some
