Google provides you with instructions on their site they also have the download links. To be honest if you can't even get that far then flashing the preview probably isn't in your best interest
[Nexus 5 General] dalepothen:
help me out with the root could you post the links for download to get root access
[Nexus 5 General] inferol:
Nothing to do with signal/display. Most likely apps not properly customised for lollipop yet. Anyway i'm not asking for battery advices (can get 5 hours SOT on kitkat anyways), just giving feedback and not intending to keep lollipop for daily driver :p

Just i hope the final release will iron out the battery issues on lollipop.
[Nexus 5 General] aldyu:
My issues so far are just minor ones,

1. Solid explorer unlocker is somehow blocked so I can't use solid explorer, using es for the meantime.

2. Injustice game not working.

Just waiting for the respective devs to fix them, the preview is very good. :good:

Did you do fastboot format cache then flash twrp

Mine is working fine I can power off then boot to bootloader and run recovery
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Same here. I'm not having any of the install issues on anything being reported around. Flashing the full unedited image, fastboot, and adb FTW!
[Nexus 5 General] Circaflex:
Same here I just ran the bat file and let it do its thing then I did the cache format then twrp only thing I did was fastboot a boot.img to gain root for now
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Yup. I hate to be THAT GUY,,, but I'm wondering how many people out here having issues actually flashed the thing correctly? Sometimes a bad flash does happen, but more often than not it's a user error issue.
[Nexus 5 General] sykopompos:
I'll explain for those who are curious why SuperSU is not working without using the permissive boot image.

I've been keeping up with the new selinux changes going into aosp so I was already out ahead of them when the new preview came out.

Notable changes are su is now in it's own domain (this is gonna mess up SuperSU)

There is a new never allow rule that only let's the recovery write to the system partition and not allowed from anywhere else (breaks root as we know it) so I removed that never allow rule in the sepolicy so root works as it used to

I cant boot into recovery to flash supersu. I enter recovery, screen goes off and back on and theres an android with a red excalamation point. Why is recovery inacessible? I even reflashed recovery.img from lpx13d and still no go...?

This man deserves sooooo much beer for the dedication he had to learning SELinux

Look though the HTC One L Preview Port thread to see what I mean
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Ok, so I finally got everything flashed and all my apps restored. This build is solid. Everything is fast and smooth. I got it rooted and that seems to work fine. Some things that others have been asking about:

WiFi Tether works

MMS Works

LED light works

I can't find anything that DOESN'T work so far.

Something I noticed. After setting up a hotspot, you get a hotspot toggle in the quick settings. COOL!!
[Nexus 5 General] Circaflex:
You need to flash twrp be sure to fastboot format cache first before flashing twrp

What was the method you used to get root?

I tried flashing the permissive boot image that was supplied by sykopompos, but ROM Toolbox is telling me that I don't have root.

Can you tell me the error in my ways?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] ss4rob:
I'm on Sprint, and I got MMS working by flashing a KitKat radio. My steps were:

1.) Flash dirty by removing -w from flash-all.sh

2.) Kick off the start up wizard with the command:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

3.) Flash the 4.4.4 ktu84p radio, and use Textra for sending/receiving MMS.

FYI, VPN works too, just waiting for root. Good luck all!

Is titanium backup working?
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
All I did was flash that boot.img, flashed TWRP, then rebooted into TWRP from the boot loader and flashed SuperSU and rebooted. I installed adaway and it went through that just fine.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

I don't think it ever did that. I think that was a custom ROM thing
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:

Theres a hacked kernel that works

jsgraphicart...

Wow. That root method worked perfectly...

I couldn't stand how big everything was. Had to change the DPI setting.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] runbadgerrun:
I got the same thing. Phone needs to be 90%+ before it will let you encrypt. Worked fine after that.
[Nexus 5 General] Zenoran:
ditto... used to my 420 dpi it was almost worth going back to kk without root to fix it but now all is well
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
Just press the 'bell' icon, same as in the previous preview!
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Just a random observation... It's weird that hangouts doesn't change the status bar color like other apps. Probably just needs an update but figured they would have had that enabled already
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
It's also not heads up enabled
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Now that we have 5.0, I can't wait to have all the apps updated. Lol
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
I love it. Hate the boring "screen off" animation though, bring back the CRT thing that we have had since GB!
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I don't think it's that bad. I kinda like it. I don't like the wireless charging sound though. Or at least I don't like that it doesn't seem to play the whole sound or stutters. I need to change it

Thanks for the heads up - with the permissive boot and TWRP 2.7.1.1 I have root! I grabbed Titanium 6.2.0-test5 to restore my call logs, and can now confirm tethering works on Sprint in addition to VPN (to get MMS to work, I had to use the 4.4.4 kut84p modem and Textra). This is awesome! :good:

Yes, this has more work done on the sepolicy to account for the changes on the new preview while the old one was based on my enhanced L ROM (which was a lot newer then the official so it worked)

Hey have you ported the latest 5.0 images to nexus 4???

Well, time to go back to Kitkat.

The L preview is very smooth and the design is amazing. All the 'little' things like a not working calender, exchange not working(by default, don't quote me the apk), some apps that are not working and most of all my gallery that was not working(I know, my fault because I didn't wipe my sd-card).

I will take the train when the final image will arrive, which I hope won't take too long.:good:

[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I'm guessing exchange is really important to you. Haven;t some people got it working with some older apks or something? I don't use exchange but I thought I read that. And the SD card thing, that's most likely a dirty flash issue. I would never recommend dirty flashing this build
[Nexus 5 General] prowede:
Same here.

The 1st time I did dirty flash, everything goes wrong.

Then I perform wipe and flash again, and resumes normal.

Exchange and calendars function normally so far.

Flash twrp and don't boot into Android. Directly go to recovery via bootloader and flash the zips via twrp.

After booting into Android, the "recovery-from-boot.bak" files restores the stock recovery. So, you need to delete that file and flash twrp again for it to stick.
