[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
I have 2 mains cracks on the top and bottom. Plus a spider crack on the right side. Luckily its a tempered glass screen protector. I'll agree with Simms that I hate the feel of a case, for the most part, but I refuse to go anywhere without one. You can't predict life. Back when I got a shiny new GNex, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which resulted in the phone getting chucked from the front of the car, out the passenger window and right into a cement divider. I spent like 10 minutes in the car looking for it before I decided to go find a house to call 911 when I saw it. It was wearing an Otterbox commuter case and it survived for the most part, minus the screen.

IDK, I bought my phone from T-Mobile on a payment plan. Technically speaking, I don't even fully own my N5 yet. So I'm not going to let anything happen to it. When I'm in my home I keep it in my Ringke Fusion case. It's a little lighter so it's okay for just in house for a drop if I'm careless. When I go out though, I put it in my Neo Hybrid case. I have the Nillkin 9H anti explosion tempered glass screen protector on at all times. I actually owned the protectors and cases before my N5 came in. My phone hasn't been naked since I got it, really. Got a spare glass screen protector as well. Once this one gets too cracked to offer any real protection it'll get replaced, but for now the cracks are minimal. When I retire my Nexus 5 it will be in as good condition as when I got it (if I have anything to say about it). :p
[Nexus 5 General] md1008:
Cracked screens annoy the piss out of me. I use a thick ass battery case(zerolemon) not a big fan of this brick but its quite nice having ability to charge phone especially since N5 has a mediocre battery
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
The ol' "forgot I set it down on my lap and stood up" situation. I see this happening to people on almost a daily basis stepping out of their cars. There's also the "random stranger bumping the phone out of your hand" which can be quite unexpected.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Every time I drop my phone even with a case or not, I have a mini heart attack. I know my case will protect it and I know that the Nexus 5 has a durable screen and needs a pretty hard fall to break but it's that 000.1 percent chance that I'll pick it up after a nasty fall one day and have a small crack.

Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
[Nexus 5 General] RacerX780:
My screen broke about 2 weeks ago... very upsetting. I thought about getting a screen and doing the job myself, but I figured it would be best, for me, to have LG do it.

Unfortunately, they are rather slow. They got it one week ago today, and it's not expected to be delivered to my house until Tuesday. So a total of 14 days since I mailed it back to them.

Just keep that in mind if you plan to have them fix it... The only phone I had from before is an old flip phone.. which works, but very, very limiting compared to a N5. lol
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
OP, I feel for ya. If that happened to me; I would have a bad day too! :(

However, there is a thread dedicated to people having bad days here: Post your broken Nexus 5 thread

Feel free to drown in your sorrow with the other unfortunate members.

Thats the ROM problem! The only way is to change the ROM(recommemded) ! Or maybe changing theme will help!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
will be somewhere in framework-res.apk most likely

I dont deal with stuff like this normally - you will have to look in your framework and try and work it out but iv given you an idea of where to start below

try in styles.xml find the following and edit it - I think that controls that menu

<item name="panelBackground">@drawable/menu_background</item>
<item name="panelFullBackground">@drawable/menu_background_fill_parent_width</item>
<item name="panelColorForeground">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
<item name="panelColorBackground">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="panelTextAppearance">[COLOR="Red"]?textAppearanceInverse[/COLOR]</item>

also look at

<item name="textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance</item>
[COLOR="Red"]<item name="textAppearanceInverse">@style/TextAppearance.Inverse</item>[/COLOR]
<item name="textColorPrimary">@color/primary_text_dark</item>
<item name="textColorPrimaryDisableOnly">@color/primary_text_dark_disable_only</item>
<item name="textColorSecondary">@color/secondary_text_dark</item>
[COLOR="BLUE"]<item name="textColorPrimaryInverse">@color/primary_text_light</item>[/COLOR]
<item name="textColorSecondaryInverse">@color/secondary_text_light</item>
<item name="textColorPrimaryNoDisable">@color/primary_text_dark_nodisable</item>
<item name="textColorSecondaryNoDisable">@color/secondary_text_dark_nodisable</item>
<item name="textColorPrimaryInverseNoDisable">@color/primary_text_light_nodisable</item>
<item name="textColorSecondaryInverseNoDisable">@color/secondary_text_light_nodisable</item>

as this will give the colors light or dark that are set in the first lot of code

also look at

<style name="TextAppearance.Inverse" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
[COLOR="Red"] <item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>[/COLOR]
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHintInverse</item>
<item name="textColorLink">#ff0000ee</item>
</style>

All the above code will mean that pannel text will be textColorPrimaryInverse which in the above example is light

Iv highlighted in red the parts that are linked and the part in blue is the result

Note this will alter the text on all pannels that use that setting - so you may well up solving black on black and then creating white on white bugs - therefore you will need to change the backgrounds of each indivdual app

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrobe2112:
I did the towelroot on my S5 sprint phone. also, used the root checker, and said it was successful.

my question is, is this a true root? can i install roms? what is the best recovery to use?

Is there instructions out there, on how to get a recovery installed after doing towel root?

If i havent done the true, full root, how much further do i need to go, in order to start flashing roms?

Is there a true, Google Play edition rom out there for this phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luriert:
It is a true root, but just remember you still have a locked bootloader, so you can not flash custom roms, recoveries or kernels that are not based off of TouchWiz (essentially limited to stuff built ontop of TouchWiz).

Once the bootloader is unlocked then you can do all of that.

GPE version of the phone is still a rumor, but they released the S4 GPE version around this time...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrobe2112:
Thanks for that information.. since i dont have the bootloader unlocked, i really cant do anything.

Should i just go back to stock? is there an easy way to do this?

Or

Should i unlock the bootloader? is there step by step instructions on this? Sprint Galaxy S5
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaitanyapatel8880:
There was a developer for note 3 who wrote a script to install ROM without custom recovery. It might be the way if any developer can develop script for S5 as well...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luriert:
Yes that is correct you can't really do anything in terms of custom roms. That being said you still are rooted, so you can install titanium backup and the xposed framework and modify your phone using those methods. You still are on stock, just with an rooted phone, are you talking about unrooting the phone? I've seen things that can let you do that (like this) but I don't think your phone is supported.

I wish I could say that unlocking the bootloader is something that is as easy as you may think it is. It is extremely difficult from my understanding. I don't know a lot about it so I can't give you a good answer to be honest, but I haven't seen anything on the subject.

Just so you know, that once VZW pushes an update to your phone, you will lose root (if you update) and won't be able to reroot until a new exploit is found (assuming the update closes the exploit that towelroot initially took advantage of). This news sucks but this is just a fact of life when dealing with VZW and ATT.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Not completely true, if you install superSU Pro from the play store root will stick after an update because of the survival mode.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luriert:
Didn't realize that SuperSU Pro could maintain that even if they close the exploit in the kernel that allows them access root functionality. How is that possible?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrobe2112:
all good info..

the reason i want to root, is in hopes of getting a true google phone. No Touchwiz.. i did install superSU. i understand that will keep my phone from getting viruses as easy.

however, my phone popped up an update icon, so i went to check if i could download the update. the message i got was..

"the operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. try downloading software updates using samsung kiel on your PC, or visit a customer service center."
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Big Brother is watching you ;) Walk slowly, go lie on the floor and spread your arms and legs. The NSA will be there any minute now :)

Don`t think that because Towelroot doesn`t trip KNOX (atm) root will not be identified by both the phones hard- and software.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrobe2112:
btw.. using superSU app.. you can unroot with it. it worked, and phone is now unrooted.

** Sprint s5 **

Hello,

I came across your thread on the TowelRoot for the Sprint S5 and I was interested in doing this to my Sprint S5 also.

* I just wanted to confirm with you if there is anything I need to know before I do this? I was scared because I didn't see any threads or news to confirm that the V3 TowelRoot will work with our phone.

Please let me know, thank you

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CptanPanic:
I was using phone normally, and installed an app from app store, and tried to run it, and force closed, and then google play force closed. So I decide to reboot phone, and it just gets stuck at boot screen. I let it wait for like 10mins then I turn off and boot into recovery, where I get errors that can't find /cache and /data. Anyway I can recover without losing my /data like rebuild partitions? Any idea what happened? I am using CM11 M7, and don't have it overclocked or anything.

Thanks,

CP
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
What app was it. Did you make a nandroid recently? Can you boot into recovery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
Factory reset should fix it, as for recovering data it's gonna be difficult if the phone can't mount the partitions. If you have unlocked bootloader you could possibly use adb shell to dd the partition and then try to recover data from that, but without external memory I can't think how you'd do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CptanPanic:
The app was just a clock app from store, nothing exciting. And no I hadn't run a nandroid recently, but woudn't have helped anyway, since /sdcard is missing also which is where CWM stores backups, though I can get into recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CptanPanic:
I'm home now and got onto adb, and see these errors:

Anyway to rebuild phone?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
I need some help on my Verizon Thunderbolt. I did something dumb and need some help. Hopefully someone is able to direct me to the correct path.

I was trying to install a rooted and debloated rom for my device. I just want to use it as a clock.

So I ended up unlocking the bootloader and installed CWM touch.

I forgot to make a backup and wipe the entire device right away. I installed stock rooted rom, it shows black screen after the HTC screen. I just realized that I have forgotten to S-OFF.

Now I was trying to install RUU so I can boot the device up and S-OFF.

I tried googling for a few hours and I could not find stock firmware or RUU. All of them are dead link.

For some reason, I am unable to install stock rom when I booted into Fastboot and have the stock zip (P4IMG.zip <<< I forgot how to spell it). It checked everything but does not show up the menu to let me flash the stock firmware.

Now I have: Unlocked bootloader, S-On, CWM Touch installed.

I would like to know is it anyway flash a working rom (stock gb or any and not dead link) so that I am able to boot up and carry out S-Off.

Thanks,

Appreciate any feedback and replies.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekabon:
Hi guys. I've been struggling with going back to stock for ages... Been flashing different firmware like 100 times... But always get the same error: "max_sparse_size 256Mb"... Or something like that... It happens when I flash system bits through fastboot or mfastboot. My model is 1032 UK unlocked. On CM snapshot at the moment. If anyone has managed to break through this problem, please help me. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
Try this with mfastboot (not the normal one).

mfastboot format system

mfastboot format userdata

mfastboot format cache

or

mfastboot format /system

mfastboot format /userdata

mfastboot format /cache

If nothing happens or it says the path is incorrect use these

mfastboot format /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

mfastboot format /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata

mfastboot format /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache

If you succeed doing this, then try flashing stock 4.4.2 via the normal procedure and see what heppens.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekabon:
Thanks for your time ;) will do in a bit ;)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
Now I`ve also notice you got error when flashing the /system

It could be that you input wrong filename, because most guides I've seen are okay but ppl copy-paste the commands w/o even checking the actual file names of the chunk files.

For most 4.4.x stock roms these are:

system.img_sparsechunk.0

system.img_sparsechunk.1

system.img_sparsechunk.2

and in the guides they are:

system.img_sparsechunk.1 or system.img_sparsechunk1

system.img_sparsechunk.2 or system.img_sparsechunk2

system.img_sparsechunk.3 or system.img_sparsechunk3

which will cause the fastboot to always spit an error on first one.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekabon:
I did try this, didn't help. And I tried doing things from your first post and it didn't work... says something about raw file system. I've attached a screenshot.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
huh from the screenshot I see that the /system partition is raw, which shouldn't be (or the stupid fastboot defaults to "raw" partition if ext4 is not specified ...)

What happnes when you try to flash the system chunks?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekabon:
All good now!) So silly, I didn't notice that in firmware folder spareschunkes have periods before number!) And in the restoring threat they don't have them!) Thanks anyway, man!!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
The point here is that this ROM, even if is old, has Dutch language and a different CID (QTEK_203).

People who have CID = QTEK_203 on their Hermes and upgraded to something with bootloader 1.06 could not flash any other ROM because there are no other ROMs with this CID, and bootloader 1.06 does check it.

Whit this old ROM, they can downgrade to bootloader 1.04, and flash what they want again because the 1.04 bootloader doesn't enforce CID checking.

I guess it is clear now... :)
