[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomad-117:
Hi all,

I have rooted my nexus 5 for some time already and have learned about some really basic understandings regarding ROMs and android. I do realize the usefulness of nandroid backup so i made one with the help of ROM manager and its clockwork recovery. A while ago i flashed cyanogenmod and It all worked out quite well but I eventually decided to have my stock android kit kat back by restoring the nandroid backup. Everything worked out and i was happy.

I copied the backup files from the "secure location" /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup and to the sd card using es file explorer and eventually to my computer using the USB cable. Today i learned about xposed framework and i thought i would give it a try so i intended to make a nandroid backup again using the same procedure with rom manager (since i did make a few tiny changes to my phone since the last backup).

Here's the problem:

The rom manager app failed to backup or do anything as nothing happened after i pressed the "Backup Current ROM" button and clicked ok to the backup name popout.Even the recovery setup and reboot into recovery choices at the top of the app don't do anything after i press them. And i was stupid enough to delete the first backup files from my phone so currently i only have the backup on my computer. I tried to copy my first backup files back into the /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup folder but the path is gone as the /mnt/shell/ folder is empty.

I am desperate for some answers and support regarding this issue. I realize this might not be a nexus 5 problem so i am willing to move this thread to anywhere that's appropriate.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Don't use ROM manager. I've seen a lot of people bootlooping their phones after using it. Flash Philz Touch recovery and then make a nandroid backup from the recovery. See whether /mnt/shell/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backup/ has your files or not?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomad-117:
I suppose Philz Touch recovery is better? Also is there anyway i can still restore my phone using my existing backup files? it's a folder so i can't install it like a zip file...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
If rom manager takes a backup using cwm recovery, then YES. You can restore it via Philz Touch. Copy the backup folder and put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/. This is where all my Philz Touch backups are stored. If philz is using /data/media on your phone then clockworkmod folder will be present over there. You can toggle these paths in Philz Touch. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Philz will detect /data/media/0 as sdcard so need move /data/media/clockworkmod to /data/media/0/clockworkmod
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomad-117:
Awesome thanks guys. Anyone has recommended link where I can download philz touch?

Any idea how to enable root explorer on nexus 5? Apparently the feature is not supported on my device?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
In what application?

It sounds like you haven't got root.

Download root checker from play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck

Make sure you have the latest SuperSU https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu

So I am pretty sure my phone was rooted and everything worked out for a while until recently weird things start popping out saying root access is denied. Is it possible to lose root access anyway?? I didn't update my android system
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you are using supersu, update it via play store. then open it(the app), itll say you need to update your binaries, press yes..

if you are using superuser, find a flashable and update it via recovery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah about that... Apparently I can't update the binaries. I chose to install it normal and eventually it ends up with installation failed and reboot to try again. Rebooting doesn't make a difference..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Is there a possible way for me to redo everything? I am willing to lose all the user data and content on my phone if I can have my stock android 4.4.2 with root access..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you want to do everything as "clean" as possible, you can always flash the factory img. in essence, itll be a completely fresh start. all you have to do is unlock the bootloader after, via fastboot. then you flash a custom recovery, which you use to flash either a supersu zip or a superuser zip. after you boot up, you have root and are running stock :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Cool thanks! So i already have Philz Touch and Clockwork recovery on my nexus 5 and the bootloader is already unlocked. I just have to find a factory image of android 4.4.4 even though right now my nexus 5 is android 4.4.2 (OTA updates from google has been constantly interrupted in China). Mind to clarify what you mean by supersu zip? You lost me there. How does supersu fit into all of this? Or the factory image i download is in a supersu zip?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
factory img is completely stock, no root. it cleans out all your ohones partitions and installs stock. yoh can only do this in fastboot. after, you would have to reunlock your bootloader, and fkash a custom recovery again. for root, you need the su binaries. unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery doesnt give you root. you need the supersu.zip, and you need to flash it in recovery. that will give you root. here http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks now I get it. I can directly flash the factory image of 4.4.4 using fast boot without any other complications following the Google developer page right?? Also will any of this have an effect on my device in the future when I want to custom kernel or install elemental x?

Thanks again for your detailed answers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can read the instructions on how to flash the factory img here as well, in the stickies at the top of the sections(general and q&a). there shouldnt be complications, but sometimes they happen.

and it doesnt affect you flashing kernels. you'll actyally glash kernels the same way, in recovery :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So I am flashing the factory image. I did everything according to the tutorial method 1 (http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) and everything is looking good until now where it says erasing 'userdata' for like 20 minutes already in the command prompt window on my PC. I know it takes a while to delete everything and i do have like 12GB of data on my nexus 5. But I feel like this is taking way too long.

There must be an ending line of some sort in the command prompt window so i will know everything is done right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can't have both philz and cwm. If you have philz installed , just boot into it and hit the re-root option
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Okay I will do that but I just got myself into another problem. So I followed this tutorial's method 1 to flash factory image. (http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) I did everything and everything went well until the part where it just never gets pass 'erasing userdata' in the windows command prompt window. I took the advice of rebooting the bootloader and restarting the procedure again and again but nothing happens. For once I waited for 30 minutes.

Help? No system or recovery left I think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Are you using the flashall.bat?

Don't bother with that.

Firstly lets ensure you have fastboot installed correctly. Click the link in my signature (for sticky roll-up) then go and read my "adb and fastboot. What is it?" thread. It will ensure you have fastboot installed correctly and teach you to use fastboot commands manually.

Essentially, you need to extract the following files:

boot.img, cache.img, system.img, userdata.img

Also Download the latest philz zip and extract the recovery.img to the same location as above. Using my thread I pointed you to, either cd to the directory where all your files are, or open cmd there.

You commands will be

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img

Just take your time, dont panic and read my thread carefully. It is easily fixable so please dont dispair. It will all be fine.. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Awesome thanks for sharing the thread. Really helpful!

I am following your instructions right now... does it take more than 5 minutes for it to finish flashing system.img? Also when it is carrying out tasks does the bootloader on the nexus 5 always display its current task? Like "erasing, downloading, writing..." Because it always does for other commands but the "erasing" text will disappear after a short while only when it is flashing system.img.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its rare I do it so I can't remember how long it takes. 5 Minutes may be a tax excessive.

I don't look at the bootloader when flashing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ah either way this still isn't working... I read the thread on ADB and fastboot. I realized that I should install the universal drivers but apparently i don't know how with my nexus 5 being an unknown device to the my PC right now.

What should i do? I am kind of lost now. Nothing seems to be working. I tried method 2 of the original tutorial and it just gets stuck in erasing system. Method 1 stops in erasing userdata. I installed Philz as custom recovery and wiped everything beforehand but it doesn't seem to help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What do you mean unknown device?

You shouldn't be erasing stuff if youre following my steps I already said don't do the flashall stuff.

Infact if you'd followed my earlier steps we wouldn't be here now either !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
True... You are absolutely right. I followed different tutorials and suggestions from different people and did things that must have contradict each other. I read the posts in the thread you provided and realized only if i knew earlier and did my homework more carefully i wouldn't end up in this position right now... God so I thought i did enough research...

Okay I am not going to do anything anymore and follow only your suggestions and instructions.

So I have installed adb and fastboot using the 15 seconds ADB installer and followed your instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273. But I don't know how to install the universal naked driver. Help? My Nexus 5 right now doesn't even show up in windows' device manager as I suppose that's where I update its drivers and therefore install universal naked driver?

I do have Philz recovery on my nexus 5 though and I have become more familiar with command prompt.

Thank you for having so much patience and helping me til now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Change of scenario I do have my nexus 5 shown as an unknown device in device manager and I also downloaded the latest Google Drivers onto my computer. Should I install google drivers?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yo\u shoudl use teh naked driver as suggested in my ADB and Fastboot thread.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Done. I went to follow your steps again and it still never get pass 'writing system' when flashing system.img What does this mean?

Philz recovery did work the first time and every time.

Also does running flashall.bat before contradict your steps?

Do I have to follow the commands exactly in that order?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The flashall bat erases aswell.

If you cant write, its failing either because:

1) Faulty USB port / cable

2) Still something wrong with your drivers

3) You're NAND memory is fried.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think there is something still wrong with my drivers. It only worked out once showing it was Android Composite ADB Interface and that was when i wrote you the last message. It is not any more.

My Nexus 5 is in Philz recovery when I first saw it an "unknown device" under "other devices" in "device manager". When I am in fastboot it is just "Android Bootloader Interface" under "Android device". I installed the universal naked driver 0.73 by updating driver in the right-click drop down menu and afterward it becomes "Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface".

What's wrong? What should I do now? I realize my scenario doesn't match the scenario of drivers installation since I don't have an android system running when the device is connected to my computer. Is it still possible for me to install the driver properly? If not, could you give me some suggestions to help me out? Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is fine and correct
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So my driver has no problem? I should follow your instructions earlier and flash the image files again manually again?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
try and flash only system.img and see if it fails or not. if it does, try a different USB cable and port on your computer
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
HOLY CRAP... Yes I changed from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 port and everything just flashed out like a charm... God this is so pathetic... I spent LITERALLY 2 days at home researching and reading here on XDA... God i made such a fool out of myself...

I was using USB 3.0 the whole time, is that a legit cause for all my trouble technically speaking?

Thank you man, thank you for helping me over the past week... All of my friends give up on me long ago and i was beginning to think if i need to get a new phone one way or another... God knows if I will ever think of switching the USB port without your suggestion...

MANY MANY MANY THANKS... You are awesome!!!!

Don't use ROM Manager in the future. Learn how to flash roms or tweak your phone manually. I'm glad you were able fix the issues from a few days with.
[General Questions and Answers] Marvido:
I am really confused about the chineese tablets, and having a hard time to decide what to go for.

Theres this cool, but expensive Ramos i10 pro with dual boot. But dont know if i would ever use windows 8.1 on a tablet unless there is some special gaming experience i dont know about, in terms of game titles not seen on android.

Cube talk 9x is nice and was almost decided to go for this one.

Chuwi v99i very similar to cube talk 9x but with intel inside.

And the Teclast x98 3g also with intel.

What i need is a family tablet, that would be mainly used for browsing, gaming, movies (mostly streamed), cartoon reading, gps and 3g, and around 10 inch with great screen. Now i am certain all of the above can do this, but im getting that naggy thing that i want the best possible in the price range of the cube talk 9x. But i also find the Ramos i10 pro interesting with its dual boot system.

As i think they all can serve my purposes, maybe i should let it all come down to the screen and reasonably fair sound ?

Hope some one in here got some inputs they would like to share, and help me and others out.

I am not in to rooting, as i only done it once with a pipo s1 a couple of years ago. And i am not even sure if it would benefit my tablet needs at all, but all things can change over time .

YOU ARE GOING TO MODIFY PHONE'S PARTITION TABLE, A WRONG STEP COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE.​

PREREQUISITES:

Linux computer with Android SDK installed or a mind in order to use these instructions in a different way (different OS, partial SDK installation, ecc...)

30-60min

Backup of your apps, data and your internal memory,

you have to re-flash your rom

. If needed backup your "sdcard" partition (

you are going to loose everything

in, so also apps on sd card), maybe you could consider a nandroid backup for a disaster recovery and/or titanium backup (or equivalent) to restore your apps and settings.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Install and boot TWRP

Get a shell:

(PC) adb shell

Umount sdcard

(ADB SHELL) umount /sdcard

Open fdisk

(ADB SHELL) fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0

Print current partition table (and save the output somewhere)

(ADB SHELL/fdisk) p

Remove sdcard and data partition:

(ADB SHELL/fdisk) d
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) 15
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) d
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) 14

Create new data partition

(ADB SHELL/fdisk) n
(First cylinder) -> you have to indicate the same start cylinder of partition 14 read in step 6
(Last cylinder) -> +8192M (this will create a 8gB partition)

Check new partition table

(ADB SHELL/fdisk) p

Create new sd partition

(ADB SHELL/fdisk) n
(First cylinder) -> you have to indicate the stop cylinder of partition 14 read in step 8 +1. If you read 292945 as stop cylinder you have to write 292946.
(Last cylinder) -> just press enter
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) t
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) 15
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) c

Write changes to partition table

(ADB SHELL/fdisk) w

"wipe" data and sdcard to format your new partitions

Push your ROM and gapps

(PC) adb push myrom.zip /sdcard/
(PC) adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/

Flash ROM and gapps

Reboot

...if everything was going successfully...

Eventually restore sdcard data

Done!

Enjoy your new big data partiton :)

Nice tutorial! Nice to see some active development/tutoring here, even after over 2 years :)

Few questions: This, if done wrong, can completely brick the device, right? If yes, I highly suggest you to include that information in OP in big red bold text, so people don't come here complaining to you. Also, can I do this from Ubuntu, for example, running from a CD or even from Windows, with the proper SDK stuff installed? I know you mentioned it, but I always had one issue or another with adb on windows, so yeah...

Thanks for this tutorial !

Are steps correct for (First Cylinder) ? Isn't step 5 for step 7 and step 8 for step 9 ?
