Error flashing. Should I be on the latest twrp 2.7.1.1 ?

Update: nvm it still gives error with the latest. MD5 checks fine....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
To disallow things like Facebook location

And try uninstall a system app. You'll just get reboot and rebuild of apps

It works on my nexus 5 & 7
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I'm still curious why (and far more importantly, HOW) anyone would be using adb to install Google factory images...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Empty Hand:
adb is so the new fastboot...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Langduscher:
+1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes, but How do you use adb to install the images? . I can see using adb to sideload a zip for use in recovery, but image files?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Empty Hand:
Sorry, that was just a poor attempt at humor. I figured he meant fastboot and was using adb as a generic word for commands through a computer.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Maxx247:
someone please tell me how to root 5.0? i flashed stock image by using fastboot method. and in this thread there is no modified kernel in first post.

Flash SuperSU beta 2.27
[Nexus 5 Android Development] procitysam:
On stock you have to use CF-Auto Root to gain root, then fastboot flash the TWRP recovery image.

[MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] can you please confirm if it is necessary to flash radio after flashing the rom zip, I thought the radio would be included in the ROM?? Also will SuperSU root the device or is it necessary to also flash the modified kernel? Just asking as I'm am trying to instruct someone over the net how to flash lollipop on their nexus I personally have just flashed the image directly from Google using flash-all script. Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dhaval@N5:
i lost my root..

Please help...

What should i do now...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Find a mental health therapist to help you make your own decisions. I don't think any of us here are certified in that field.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dEris:
Latest SuperSU doesn't need modified kernel for root anymore. Just flash SU.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Great thanks exactly what I thought just needed confirmation, what about the radio wouldn't that be included in the flashable zip or does it need to be flashed separately? Thanks again
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dEris:
I believe this is the stock rom, but flashable. Let me download it and I'll look inside.

It's 500+ mb. Standby, will take 3-4 minutes.

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

Looks like it's just the ROM and Kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
That's what I thought as in op it states to flash radio separately, just wanted confirmation. Thanks again, appreciate it, so I guess we have to flash the radio also. Cheers
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kaleem79:
Will i have to unmount & wipe system to install this rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
radio needs to be flashed seperately
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sjknight413:
Mate I was just about to flash that lrx21o radio in your op before I realised it was for the LGD820 variant of the nexus 5 that is specific to north america.

You probably shouldn't have that up as the majority of users will be using LGD821 Hammerheads for the rest of the world!

Sent from my Android 5.0 Lollipop + ElementalX powered Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
it will not break your radio - but my phone is from NA so thats all I can provide. You can replace the radio.img file with the one from your region :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sjknight413:
I have just read that the radio firmwares for both variants usually have matching md5's, I'm just worried as nothing has been confirmed for these.

I'll take the risk anyway if you're sure it won't bork it.

From Bigxie's L thread..

Q:*The radio file says D820 but I have the international model. Will it work for D821?

A:*Yes, both N5 models share the same radio software. Flash away!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dhaval@N5:
Really......

Really where did that come from... i asked for technical help... no one is master but someone may be guide me wat to.... bu whatever... i guess you need that therapist...

May be i was not clear... i lost my root on mexus 5 after updating from 4.4.4 to 5.0 lollipop.

I did everything wat he posted here so... i was asking help for that
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chubby65:
Use wugs nexus root toolkit it'll download and install what you need to root and custom recovery
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
It came from the fact that you never said what you needed help with... "please help, what do I do now?" no context, no description of what you needed help with, no specific questions.

You almost always lose root when upgrading stock via OTA, zip or whatever. . Just reflash supersu as usual and go from there..

As to my needing a therapist, yes, I do, I've recently had an episode which tells me that I am having trouble self-regulating right now and need the extra help. I have a couple of severe disorders that I have to live with and which am generally able to manage. I am capable of functioning in society and relatively stable if not what most call "normal".
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maRci002:
I would like to install Lollipop(LRX21O) on my Nexus 5 fwhich is based on this topic but now I have TWRP 2.7.1.1 version and 4.4.3 - KTU84M.

So my questions are: - Should I update my TWRP to 2.8.2.0; if yes how to do it?

- Before flash to 5.0 should I install 4.4.4?

- Another one which isn't related to this topic: How can I safety disconnect my Nexus 5 from USB cable if it is connected to win7 and I am using adb driver (neither on computer nor on phone cannot disconnect with button; I had to just break off my phone from the cable? )?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
As long as you don't have an active adb/fastboot connection with the phone, just unplug and go.

Google installing a custom Recovery to your Nexus 5, you don't need to upgrade to 4.4.4, the files in this thread are not and update, but a system replacement.

I still recommend downloading the official Google tarball from their Nexus image site and using the included flash-all script to install the lollipop os to your n5, safer and generally fewer issues arise that way.

All the information you need is available in this thread (or the twrp thread, or on the google Nexus image page) you just need to search for it. (either using Google site search, xda' site or thread search, or a general Google search)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dEris:
Use Flashify.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mastersjef:
Nice reaction bob but u can search for cf root by chainfire thats all!

What is preventing copying files from PC to the phone over USB? I can some files and directories on the phone. Is this something new in 5.0? Downloaded and installed supersu 2.27 beta to gain root and now have no problem copying files.

I noticed that this rom is unencrypted by default which is a nice option.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chubby65:
Your welcome mate we are all here to help each other
[Nexus 5 Android Development] techinv:
I have TWRP 2.8.0.1 and Kitkat and have downloaded all the needed files to upgrade to Lollipop. I haven't seen any other posts that mention TWRP being a problem for flashing,, but would like to check. So, would there be any problems using TWRP and flashing the files using the instructions in the OP?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Vomer, the guy who wrote the op, used twrp...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mtk87:
Hi to all, used this thread for all my lollipop needs until now: today i just upgraded to the latest zip vomer posted (thanks thanks thanks!!) but i had an issue with rooting, i went trought this steps: installing system, installing radio, reboot, installing SU.

Now, i don't have root on my device, superSU says there is a problem, can't find SU binaries, I tried to search on the thread but nothing useful to solve my problem, i downloaded the latest supersu linked on vomer OP. any ideas? :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chubby65:
Use wugs nexus root toolkit mate
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iSplassh:
Use CF Autoroot, extract it on the pc, put phone in fastboot and then open the .bat file and you will have root.

Another way is to flash a custom kernel like franco for exp and then flash the last SuperSU 2.27 beta...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bm19981217:
You only need to flash latest SuperSu v2.27 beta. Should work on stock lollipop kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] simonarturo:
Make sure you have custom recovery. I lost it when upgrading via factory image and had to install that first. Then you just flash latest SuperSU beta (2.7 if I'm not mistaken). You'll have root then, without having to install any custom kernel beforehand, as mentioned by the post above.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mtk87:
Thank you all, wasn't aware of the beta thing! :) thanks from my rooted Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
in anyone's experience , how long is "a while" when waiting for first boot after flashing rom...5 minutes, 10 minutes, or how much? flashing from preview to 21O, following the OP instructions

update: ok, it was 5 minutes for me...first time, i tried without wiping data, dalvik, or system..only wiped cache, and it was over 12 minutes on the bootanimation screen, but not a bootloop...guess a dirty flash from preview to 21O won't work

posting this in case anyone else wondered how long it took, if you could do a dirty flash, or in case i'm wrong..maybe i didnt wait long enough to boot
[Nexus 5 Android Development] techinv:
Minor question, but....

Upgraded to Lollipop without issue; happy with the results so far.

Many thanks again to Vomer, and to the other posters who've clarified various points along the way.

This question is about the sounds zip file. I've flashed that file twice now but I don't notice any new tones, etc.

Anyone seeing different than me on this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
a new zip link is up in op with the final sounds. Flash that
[Nexus 5 Android Development] techinv:
Just tried it Vomer and still no difference, same tones as before.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
fixed...try the new one :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] techinv:
Yep, more choices now :good:. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dimex:
Are you sure about that? Because everyone's been flashing ElementalX and other custom kernels to get root, but it's actually worked all along?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bm19981217:
It was not possible to root lollipop stock kernel before SuperSU 2.27 beta. So some days ago everyone who wanted root had to flash a modified kernel
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ofthecats:
[MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] are you familiar with the memory leak in lollipop? I think it is issue 1701.

Any input? Has it been fixed in aosp?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Degrated Shadow:
Is the LPX13D stock kernel same for LRX21O? Because i have been waiting for a stock permissive image for LRX21O.. I find it is the most smooth and less troublesome
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Recl@imer:
Flash procedure

Hey Guys,

The OP mentions the following flash order "Flash Order: Flash ROM -> Flash Radio -> reboot -> Flash Modified Kernel -> Flash SuperSU", but i don't see a download link for the modified kernel mentioned. Where can I find that? i read that its not needed?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iSplassh:
With superSU 2.27 beta there is no need to install a modified kernel. Just flash superSU and you got root.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] miracler:
flashing custom kernel is optional if you're flashing SuperSU 2.27 BETA, because it doesn't depend on kernel mods to get root. by using SuperSU 2.27 BETA you can do this: Flash ROM -> Flash Radio -> reboot -> Flash SuperSU. then, if you choose to use a custom kernel in the future, you have the choice to do it any time. :)

edit: omg i didn't realize iSplassh replied already.. too early in the morning for me.....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Recl@imer:
got it thanks.

Can i flash Supersu 2.16 stable after i gain root? will i loose root by doing that?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] miracler:
I would recommend flashing SuperSU 2.27 beta, as users are having much success with this. I have gone this route and have not had much problem at all, other than some tiny kinks flashing the ROM itself.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Recl@imer:
Right, i intend to flash 2.27 first to gain root, initially. What i'm asking if after that can i flash a stable supersu after? What problems did you have with flashing the rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maatsby:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but the beta aspect of the recent super su refers to the exploit itself, so it doesn't make sense to flash a stable version afterwards, the exploit would already exist. If you're talking about the app its probably the same version you would find on play store
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Recl@imer:
Not flashing

Guys,

I did a factory reset and tried to flash the rom. i'm using TWRP 2.8.1.0, and its stuck at flashing file 1of 1 with "Formatting System Partition OHNOES..."

what is this? Am i screwed?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maatsby:
This part takes a long time, just wait for it to finish
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Recl@imer:
OK, it finished installing. I also flashed the radio. waiting on the reboot to flash supersu!!

I can breathe again.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] miracler:
i suppose you could reflash the stable 2.16 afterwards. Be aware that there may be some compatibility issues down the road (you can refer to the beta changelogs here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053).

i may have been a little impatient waiting for the ROM to flash. TWRP ended up not being able to mount my /system partition, which cause any further flashing to fail on every attempt. i resolved the issue by advanced wiping the /system partition and reflashing the ROM (i left it there flashing while i went to do other things).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Hey guys I've noticed some strange behavior, not sure if this is some new feature of lollipop or not but here it goes. Whenever I reboot my device any background apps that are opened before reboot still show up in the background after reboot. Is this normal, has anyone else noticed the same?? I flashed the Google images directly using flash-all script, I'm currently using SuperSU Pro 2.27 TWRP 2.8.2.0 & Franco r68
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bradhoschar:
Yes. This is a feature of Lollipop.

Every ROM will have this.

Google is your friend!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shiftportal:
What does the radio do? Does it help?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grognaz:
Hi, i tried to flash the rom with cwm and it got stuck at "wiping system partition... Ohnoes..." Did i get a corrupt download or do i miss something else?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maatsby:
The radio is to do with cell signal etc and it might help with reception and battery life if you use the correct radio with correct rom, or it might not.

Every phone and location is different

This part takes a very long time, leave the phone and come back
[Nexus 5 Android Development] baysakhal:
Tried to install on multirom. First flashed rom, then radio and then supersu and media as last. Seems everything installed normally but after choosing the initial language, then after skipping wifi choosing it stuck on checking connection

Update: just had to wait some more time, but now another issue where you can't associate with Google account, it just says wait a sec

Update 2: next day I could associate with Google account, then swapped roms in twrp multirom recovery and removed the secondary rom. Everything is smoothly running!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Juhler:
Hi

When flashing the zip this will not delete any userdata right? And I have CWM recovery right now, should I upgrade that to TWRP?

And lastly does anyone know why it takes forever to copy from sdcard to pc via USB? And is there a faster way?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jayplusone:
First please don't quote OP. Second, if you dirty flash you won't lose user data (not recommended). You can back up non system user data with titanium backup or a similar app and restore it later. The USB question could be tons of things, bad USB cable, USB port, USB hub could be a problem. I'd plug directly to PC.

So my Baseband version is M8974A-2.0.50.2.21. Is that the radio version on my phone? How can i tell how new/old it is compared to the one in the OP which is LGD820?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jayplusone:
Yes it is. It is the latest and yes it's the same. The one in OP is listed as LGD820 (North America) or LGD821 ( Everywhere Else) which is the handset model.

Anyone using CWM 6.0.4.5 ? I made a nandroid backup last night and noticed in Root Explorer and ES Explorer that my backup was not shown in the /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup folder. However I did see my old KK backup. When I booted into CWM, I do see the backup in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ folder.

Anyone have this issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] el_smurfo:
Recoveries seem to use a different sdcard path...try the sdcard shell command in the OP...that's what worked for me using TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] one7dchevy:
Thanks! I thought those cmds were for if the sdcard could not be found. However I noticed he said L points to: data/media/0

I actually found the backup in/data/media/clockworkmod/backup. Both KK and L backups are there.
