[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
Hello everyone,

I have done something utterly stupid with my Nexus 5, I wiped the internal storage and lost my roms, I really wasnt thinking.

I have tried looking at options like adb sideload but cant find a decent tutorial

Could I just get a micro usb to usb adapter and install a rom off that?

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with adb sideload?

Other problems are I can't get on the android SDK because the CMD box only flashes up.

Does the adb sideload option in TWRP actually do anything if you wait for it? Its been waiting for about 1 hour now and nothings happening.

Please guys any help is appreciated
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Why don't you flash the factory image using fastboot?

The Cmd box you are referring to happens because you need to navigate to that directory using Cmd and run it from there. You cannot just click it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
Thanks but I cant get the SDK to work at all. Im still looking into it but at the moment it wont work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
Please somebody help me with the SDK, I dont know what else to do.

I cant open the SDK manager and I cant open it through eclipse either.

Someone else must have had this problem before
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Click the link in my signature and then "adb and fastboot. What is it?"

This will help you configure adb properly. It also helps you learn commands. Like adb push.

adb sideload is the same as push but you type sideload instead.

FYI as much as people round here say it, there is no such thing as a soft brick. Its brick or not brick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
Switched off my phone and now I cant get it into recovery mode. Only the google logo which just stays there for ages

What do I do now? :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Show down and don't panic. Your device is easily fixed. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. This will shut down the phone. Then press and hold the vol down then press the power button. That'll bring your into the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Power + volume down button brings you in the bootloader, from there go into recovery (navigate with volume buttons and select with power button)

In recovery follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559200.

Or flash the factory image in the bootloader. (that should work because you need to unlock your bootloader in fastboot)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
Thanks guys,

It wasnt working because water damage had interfered with the volume buttons previously.

I have a micro usb to usb adapter now.

Can i put a rom on a USB drive and install that way?

Thanks guys
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Yeah that will work too. Water damage is never good for a phone even if it stil works after that. But that's another story
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yes you can. You'll have to "tell" twrp where to find the rom zip.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
Only problem now is I cant get the SDK to work for my life. Ive spent 5 hours trying to fix my phone already today, I have the JDK installed. I open the eclipse thingy and when i try to open the SDK with eclipse it wont work either. Please somebody help with this
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't need the SDK. You're not developing here
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
TWRP cant find any of the files on my USB-OTG :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osamarchie2000:
with the CMD, it gives me my device and its serial number and says recovery for

C:\adb devices

but for C:\fastboot devices

I get nothing.

Any ideas please?

Did you read my thread that I told you to read?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Here's a hint, read rootSU's sticky rollup and look for the 15 second fastboot adb installer.

Very sorry, Ive just re-read what Im looking for

[Galaxy S 5 General] ahrion:
I'm currently running XtreStoLite T-Mobile variant TW ROM (with wifi calling/VoLte). I'm on the latest firmware for my device with [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] custom kernel. Like some of you I run an insane amount of xposed modules (15+) and audio mods (eXtreme Beats Studio, Pon+3, Elements of Fidelity-TW, and Viper4Android).

With that said on the type of setup I have, I'm always lagging in my device with hangtime. It's most noticeable when I'm typing or swiping with SwiftKey. So I've been looking around trying to find ways to speed my device. I even use the xposed app GovProfiler (only for ktoonsez kernel) to speed up my keyboard, but to no avail, it does not eliminate the lag completely. I found these tweaks to speed up my device. And they actually seem to work quite well for me so I wanted to share.

First off make sure your ROM allows init.d/SQL/kernel/sysctl enhancements. If you don't have init.d support there's an app on the Play Store called Universal Init.d that you can download that gives anyone support.

1. Download Project Mod Boost Nitro X http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2809443

a). Flash mod in recovery

b). In Terminal Emulator type:

"su"

"boost" (ram booster)

"nitro_on" (for entropy speedup)

2. Download MaliveBooster http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741189

a). Flash mod in recovery

3. Download Android Tweaker 2 from the play store. You can Defrag SQL database, zipalign apps, inject Sony Bravia Engine V3, improve performance, battery life, image & video quality, voice quality, dns, ipv4/6, etc.

4. Download the fstrim script http://www.modaco.com/topic/370237-all-modother-disableenable-swap-zram-fstrim/

a). Flash in recovery

If you have performance issues with your slow TouchWiz rom then you won't be disappointed with these apps/scripts

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinchero:
Hey guys, i just flashed my M8 using vomer's Guide, everything went great except for the S-OFF part, firewater didn't work on my variant (T-Mobile Version), i was just wondering if it will affect my phone in any way while trying to flash a custom rom, right now im looking at flashing Skydragon's GPE or Sense version
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossMacgill:
You can still flash roms with s on, just not do the GPe conversations
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinchero:
The ones known as RUU right?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you flash a Sense 2.22 based custom ROM, its recommended that you flash the updated firmware package (S-off required) or else wait until the 2.22 based OTA rolls out for your version (which will include "official" firmware).

If the updated firmware is not installed, 2.22 based ROMs will usually cause some major bugs, like excessive long boot time, broken WiFi and Bluetooth, etc.

S-off is usually not "required" to flash a ROM per se. This is an exception where the older firmware modules (not included in the ROM itself) are not playing well with the newer based ROMs.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinchero:
So if i flash Skydragon's Sense based rom i will encounter major bugs? well thats too bad :(

but the Skydragon GPE Rom is fine right?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can always try it and see. I'm not sure if 100% of folks will have this issue (if you do not update firmware), but others have said you will "probably" have some major bugs.

On the other hand, if you are s-off and already have fastboot setup on your computer, the process to update firmware takes maybe 5 or 10 minutes.

Not completely certain, you should read/search the Skkydragon GPE thread, or maybe somebody who knows can chime in.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinchero:
i just found out that they have a separate version for the T-Mobile variant, maybe thats what i will install, on a side note, do you think it would be a good idea to take the plunge and pay for the sunshine method to gain S-OFF?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Its very much a personal choice. It you want the freedom to be able to flash firmware packages, radios, etc. at will; and $25 is something that you can afford to give away, then I'd say its recommended.

I had the luxury of being able to s-off earlier on for free, with firewater.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
Well, I'm s-on and I've already had gpe edition installed.

Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinchero:
All right, thanks for the help, i think i will leave S-ON, maybe some time later i will decide to pay the $25 so i can have S-OFF.

The Skydragon version or the stock version?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
I can't remember which gpe rom I've tested, however now I'm on stock based skydragon 4.4.3 (not redbull edition, as it was too much overclocked).

Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the 2.22 firmware is all you want s-off for, probably not a bad idea to just wait for the T-Mobile OTA rollout. Then you can just install the new firmware "official" OTA way. Once the firmware is updated, you should be able to flash whatever you want with S-on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinchero:
That's all i want it for, maybe it is a good idea to wait for T-Mobile to roll out the update, anyway, i flashed the Skydragon GPE ROM yesterday and everything is going fine, i have yet to test battery life, since today it's my first day of use, but everything seems to be running fine, thank you for all your help.

I'm having trouble restoring some backed-up SMS and MMS on my new LG G3. I have tried several methods with varying results and I'm starting to think it's an issue with the G3 because I have not had these problems with the myriad of other devices I have been doing this on.

Titanium backup pro: restore messages from snapshot causes messaging to force close (not surprising). restoring from XML works fine with SMS, but the MMS are all timestamped with the date/time they were restored (today).

Mybackup pro: restoring SMS causes them to have a timestamp of today but it fixes itself when you open the thread (not a big deal, have had this happen in the past). restoring MMS causes only the MMS that were sent by me to be timestamped with today.

now I've just started testing any app that let you restore MMS to see if there'll be any luck. just finished trying Easy Backup and it has the same results as Titanium.

any ideas?? anyone have any luck restoring MMS? what app did you use?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crescentmage:
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I'm running into this issue now and can't find another thread discussing a solution.

It seems to occur with two different G3 stock-based ROMs when I tried to restore MMS messages that were backed up on a CM-based ROM. Titanium Backup and SMS Backup & Restore both have the same issue: a bunch of MMS messages get the current timestamp (time of restore). Doesn't seem to be a problem restoring to AOSP ROMS, just LG-based ones.

Any ideas? Anyone else see this?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Same problem here on LG-based roms running on my G2. This seems to be the problem of some manufacturer-based ROMs, not just LG but at least also Motorola.

Preparing the mmssms.db file using https://github.com/t413/SMS-Tools on your Linux desktop rather than directly on the phone (using restore programs) seems to be the working workaround. But I do not envy those who still use Windows as their main system.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patoulich:
For anyone having the same problem, i finally found the solution...

the lg g3 has a custom com.android.provider.telephony service : when the restore app send the mms to restore, the "date" field is not read properly, and the current timestamp is store in the "date" field of the "pdu" table in the database "mmssms.db" :(

But... there is another field in that table, "insert_time" which contains the good timestamp... almost cause it's a microtimestamp.

So, for the solution :

1/ you need to download and open your "mmssms.db" file using you're favorite sqlite editor

2/ apply that sql query to set a good content for the "date" field based on the "insert_time" field :

update pdu set date = substr(insert_time, 0, 11);

3/ you send the mmssms.db back to your phone and reboot

That's it !

You're welcome ;)

A finally happy LG G3 owner
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geearf:
Thank you for the explanation!

Although your solution didn't work for me (no insert_time column on my new Axon 7) I ended up joining my old table with my new table and fixing the date, date_sent (and creator...) columns. That worked, and helped me not looking for another 20 apps on playstore that wouldn't work anyway.

Now one major hassle I didn't realized for long hours, google messenger had some sort of cache issues and was not showing me my new data.. so I kept trying stuff with no result... till I tried the stock messaging app and realized it worked.

Anyway, I've been looking at this for 2 days now, so thank you so much, I can finally move on :)
