[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidwizzard:
Look, flashing with Odin is like getting an update by Samsung. Users would turn crazy if such an update would wipe their data.

Firmware is always installed in system partition and never somewhere out.

Besides: Photos and vids are mostly saved on external SD. Where are yours?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphatia:
mine are saved on internal :(

so now only thing i can do is flash using odin?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidwizzard:
No, it is not the only thing, but you have messed around such a long time and to finish the suffering I suggest to do.

It is up to you to trust or go on searching for alternatives.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphatia:
Thanks a lot man iI really appreciate it but any other ideas would be much appreciated
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidwizzard:
Well, two things you might do: Search for the truth about wipe data when using Odin or try to install any custom recovery to be able to flash a custom rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphatia:
and am back cant get any recovery to work

and when searching for odin wipe most people say nothing got wiped
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidwizzard:
I

KNOW

that nothing of your data will be wiped, I have done it three times since 4.4.2 came out on 25.4.2014

First ND3, then NE1 and lately NE2.

This is my last post here. Good luck!

Any other suggestions before I flash 4.4.2 with Odin (currently 4.1.2) ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnxsinned:
:victory:

Mate,

I somehow had the same like you. I flashed the ND3 bootloader, which would not finish. After that, I could not enter recovery or enter my ROM.

EVen when I reflashed the recovery, it still hangs at boot.

.

What I did was the following;

Downloading the stock rom 4.4.2, a version below this ROM will give you errors in Odin when trying to flash.

Flash the stock ROM with Odin, after the flash completes you should be able to bootup your phone again. If not, that can be due some leftover from your old ROM, now since you can't enter recovery, you cannot wipe cache etc.

So if after flashing the stock ROM, it still won't boot, you can flash it again with Odin, but use the CSC tab instead of the PDA. That will wipe your device aswell. This was not needed for me though.

After your stock ROM boots, try to enter the Stock Recovery to be sure that that works.

If that works, flash your desired recovery (I recommend TWRP) with Odin. After that, you should be able to flash any ROM again with TWRP etc etc.

Hope this helps!

Has anyone taken the stock Kit Kat ROM, debloated and deodexed it yet and make it flashable with CWM or TWRP? Ive seafched using a few different methods and havent found anything. I love the stock ROM of KitKat for the OG Pro, but I know it can be done better by one of our great devs.

So here's the thing, I'll try to be as short as possible. I was watching this video of this guy (how to root the nexus 5 (safest method)) showing how to root the nexus 5. But everything went wrong and I accidentally wiped the entire phone, now I have no OS.

I have installed a bunch of drivers and stuff here, but don't know how to use them. Please, if someone can give me a stupid proof solution to this, I would be very thankful.

This is hardly an issue, solved in a couple minutes. Next time do some research before doing anything to a device that you paid for.

Don't want to do your research? Then sell the Nexus 5, get a locked down Samsung device/iPhone and don't mess with it.

If that is true and you dont have a clue what ever gave you the idea to try and root your phone jesus if you aint got a clue do some homework and learn, there are walkthroughs on this site or just google it........
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbabiuk:
1. Relax. Its a nexus. This can easily be fixed.

2. We all start somewhere. When we all were noobs to this we all wiped our devices and freaked. Again don't panic. And ignore the guys cursing your noobness. But one thing is for sure - after you fix this, read before you leap.

3. As someone else recommended - there is a tool called wugfresh nexus root all in one...or something like that. Just follow the link in his post. This us a great tool and will save you some pain. Its well laid out and will fix your issues. Just follow the steps. Keep this program handy and on your computer. If you intend on flashing Roms eventually you will make a mistake and wipe your phone again and this will save your bacon.

+1 for everyone saying use fastboot

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renan Melo:
I also forgot to mention I can boot it on fastboot mode and I have TWRP. Does that help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The answer has already been given.

Choices are:

1) Learn to use fastboot. Return your device to stock.

2) Lear to use adb. push a rom.zip to your sdcard to flash via recovery

Click the link in my signature. ALL important guides are there.

Read the following:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenphot0:
I'll just add, with TWRP if you have an OTG adapter you can plug a thumb drive into the phone and flash a ROM that way. Every now and again I like to start fresh and will copy a ROM onto a thumb drive, I'll wipe the entire phone then re-flash. You'll just have to Mount USB-OTG from the menu.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LamboBull:
tbh I dont even know why people use toolkits.

'fastboot oem unlock'

Why do you need a toolkit for that?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Not everyone is comfortable using command prompt to fire lines as they think they will mess up (especially people who are new). The toolkits do these things in the background when the user clicks on a button and hence he/she thinks it's the easy/safe way around it without knowing the consequences of it.

I got a GS5 yesterday, and I love it! But I have one issue. I'm not a fan of the stock messaging app. I tried Evolve, Chomp, Handcent, Go SMS, and Hello SMS. My issue with every single one of these apps is that my Facebook contacts do not show in them. I've gone through all the settings I could think of and couldn't find a solution for this. My 10 google contacts show in there, but almost ALL of my phone numbers come from Facebook. I'm new to Android, so if this is a simple fix, I'm sorry. My facebook contacts work just fine in the stock messaging app, and show up in my phonebook, but not in any third party apps. Halp!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsyphon:
Hello,

I have a original stock Kindle Fire and just recently it won't boot all the way up. It just shows the Kindle Fire screen and flickers every 20 seconds or so like it is stuck in a reboot loop. I tried to do a hard reset, run the battery all the way down and recharge but that didn't help. I even took the case apart and unplugged the battery hoping that might help but it didn't.

I then decided to install KFU (0.9.9) to see if I could get it in Fastboot and wipe the data from it. That didn't work as it throws an error: failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': No space left on device. I then decided to install Android SDK for ADB and see how much space is left in that folder. Turns out there is only 28K left, which seems like it is basically full. I cannot delete anything from that folder as it is currently read-only. I cannot basically do anything to it since all files/programs that need to be downloaded to root it require copying files to that directory which doesn't have space.

At this point, I would be happy if I could somehow factory reset the device. I don't care about anything on it and just want it to work. Any suggestions for doing this without buying the special cable that will put it in Fastboot mode automatically?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Could try

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsyphon:
Thanks for the suggestions but unfortunately still stuck at logo. The unbrick utility is a cool idea but looks like everything is for a rooted device, most commands it does are either permission denied or says this is read-only device.

Anyone have any other suggestions for how I can at least delete/clear space in the /data folder so I can get into fastboot mode?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
the unbrick utility includes an older root method (zergrush). try [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 [2014]
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
another option is Soupkit

but if none of the above worked, I'm guessing you will need a Fastboot cable.
