Hey I'm new to this forum. The date in the title (2015/01/08 as of right now) - is that the date of the latest stable build? I see posts for a 5.1 build, but am not sure I see that reflected in the first post. Are those just nightly/dev builds? Thanks

Galaxy Nexus 5.1 Password Screen and Damaged Data Partition

Hey guys,

So I knew going in that others were having the password screen issue, but I decided to give it a go anyway if for nothing else but to give a little bug feedback if I ran into problems. Well, as it turns out, I now have the password screen problem accompanied by an unmountable Data partition.

What I am running:

Galaxy Nexus which was completely wiped and the /cache and /data partitions formatted to f2fs. Zips were then pushed to /sdcard using ADB.

FML-AOSP-5.1-20150311v2 with FML-PA-GApps-Micro-5.1-20150310-UNOFFICIAL (flashed together with busybox and SU)

Full-Auto-R12-Ak (on a subsequent flash)

Everything flashed fine and I used it for 2 days with various graphics glitches (screen blacked out during my Clash of Clans war attack!!) Verizon Visual Voicemail no longer worked. Couldn't load YouTube or NCAA video. etc I decided to go back to the FML KitKat ROM which has been solid as a rock.

What happened:

I was trying to avoid charging while off to avoid the Password screen issue so I always unplugged my phone when powering off. I wanted to create a Nandroid in TWRP 2.7.1.0

I powered down while unplugged. Booted into recovery and then plugged back in.

Did a backup minus the /cache partition. Rebooted within TWRP while plugged in and bootup froze after the animation on the ANDROID screen.

I unplugged left it like that for about 15 minutes and then pulled the battery.

Same thing happened again, so I pulled the battery again and the next time I booted.....PASSWORD SCREEN!

This wouldn't be an issue if I could just sideload a new rom or push it over to the sdcard, but when I went back into recovery it turns out my /data partition is no longer mountable and my sdcard shows 0MB. I found a procedure online that that I tried using ADB: "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p12". Unfortunately, I get a bad magic number error stating the the partition doesn't contain valid ex2 information. I assume this is because its formatted to f2fs.

Any idea what else I could try? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
Read through the dev thread and see what those guys did to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baracoota:
Very helpful. Thank you. I understand many people do NOT take the time to read through the previous threads, but I already had. I also scoured the web for anything that might help as evidenced by my posting of some code I had found and tried unsuccessfully. There was one mention in the previous thread about conducting a fastboot format, but there were no details and I was simply looking for a little more information.

Anyway, just in case someone else experiences a similar problem and needs help, this is what I ultimately did.

I brought my Galaxy Nexus back to stock using Odin 1.3 and flashing the Stock Rom and Stock Radios. Here is the link with the files and tutorial:

htp://rootzwiki.com/topic/27050-vzwodin-files-needed-for-odin-winstructions/

I was having major problems and I was failing every attempt until I read a bit of useful advice; Plug into one of the USB ports on the BACK of your computer (preferably USB 2.0). DO NOT use the front ports or a hub. Use the factory issued (or highest quality) UBS cable available to you. I used my factory UBS cable and switched to the back USB ports, let my drivers reinstall, and afterwards I had immediate success.

Hope this helps someone out.

Also, I wanted to mention that I ran into another problem after going back to Stock. Everything appeared fine at first, but I would eventually loose all capability to access internet using either Data or WiFi. I also noticed that my OTA updates were not coming through. I was going to just root the phone and flash FLM KitKat ROM and in the process noticed my /cache partition couldn't be mounted. It was still formatted to f2fs. I used TWRP to format to EXT4 and just for good measure, ran Odin again and started fresh. All my updates came through and the phone is now running the latest JB and Radios.... This is actually my first experience with JB since I was late coming off ICS and went right to KK. I think I'll play around with it a bit just to see what I missed...

I'm also a n00b and have the same question :D what about fml 5.1 maguro? Thanks for any information :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dtbdtb:
Just installed the 5.1 v2 , now many apps are saying that they have stopped (over and over):

Youtube, Google Play services, Gmail...

Whats the fix?

-- edit

I installed the 5.1 gapps as well. This helped the random force closes. However, I cannot open youtube (immediately stops) and in chrome, I cannot click through any google search results without it force closing. The regular browser works fine though. Any ideas?

I formatted /system, cleared both caches before using 5.1 ... ideas anyone?

-- edit2

uninstalling and reinstalling youtube and chrome from the play store helped and they no longer force close.

-- edit3

Gmail no longer gives push notifications. Sigh...

-- edit4

uninstalled/reinstalled many of the google apps. turned off an on sync. Gmail is still way slow to fetch mail without me manually having to refresh. Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ComradeF:
Signs of life?

So I hate to ask, but is this dead or dying now? :( There hasn't been any Git activity in several weeks.

I've been sitting on a used Galaxy Nexus I was going to give to my sister, but I can't give her the 5.1 v2 build that was released in the middle of March because I'm afraid she'll let the battery die and won't be able to charge it because of that outstanding bug.

FML is the reason I felt comfortable giving her a Galaxy Nexus at all. Should I move on to one of the few remaining ROMs here, or hold out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ComradeF:
Looks like MWisBest is back at it... flurry of commits in Git. Guess that answers my question. (Whew!) :)

Hi there, decided to get rid of my dads old basic phone, and upgrade him to my old toro...

coming from an old clock world recovery. I think some how I also lost root.

What do you guys suggest I do properly Get to this stable kitkat rom? A lot of the threads here are out of date, Hard to rely on outdated material. shall I just directly flash the TWRP recover here? and flash root?

Maybe best to go stock, and root + flash recovery?

any references would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonetool:
Isn't root turned off by default? You have to activate access somewhere in the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shahsmerdis:
Um, I assume I forgot to flash SuperSU? I don't have the device infront of me, but I didnt see any root setting...

I can't say for this ROM exactly what's what, but I recall having to activate the secret developer settings and then active root access in other installs, particularly CM stuff.

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] thewisenerd:
You want users to download a zip that contains an alternative build.prop, that is likely to cause the phone into a soft-brick, and which has 'only' an OTAUpdater.apk from an unknown origin; I'm afraid no. Noobs may fall for this. This (replacing with a custom build.prop) IS a potential risk and would NOT recommend users to do that (even if this zip was correctly packed/flashed). Reporting thread.

If I'm getting you right, you want to change is your navbar theme without touching anything else. There are many ways to do it once you are rooted, the one I preferred (before I moved to AndroidNow ROM) was the xposed module "Android L Navigation Bar". There is another way to install navbar themes like it was done in G2 and select it from Settings > Display > Home Touch Buttons > Colour, but I was having some issues with the icons not appearing consistently.

Hi! Just wondering which ROM to upgrade my SX66 to WM5.0? Please vote and leave your opinion.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
I would simply choose Helmi rom (vanilla) version, excellent speed, very stable and best of all it's a base (cleaned) rom.

btw, I mean no disrepect to Tuma, Ivan, Artz, they have not released their rom for a while now, hence their latest rls are out-dated. the latest logout rom are based on Helmi work basically with few fixes.

you may wanna include xplode's rom as another option, he has been working hard for it, and his rom is one of the best out there at the moment.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] meehaa:
xplode?

yes, XPLODE's ROM must be included also..

i have tried using his work and i found it nice too..

been using it since wifi was working great..

his work is one of the bests ROM as of the moment..

his name must be in the list too..

for now, i go for HELMI's work..

the vanilla version.. its a clean ROM..

my wifi also working.. =)

semper fidelis,

How to upgrade to the AKU 3.5 WM5 Helmi beta 1.4b - newest

So why do you ask such a question when you already know the answer?! :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
Using Helmi's Vanilla rom now. Fantastic rom, with A2DP working. It would be good if it could be reduced further by taking out Internet Sharing, Modem Link, Pocket MSN and Clear Storage. Power_service.dll and Rotate_screen.dll also don't need.

I was using Xplode's rom for a while until I find that A2DP was not working. If that could be fixed, I would probably use Xplode's rom again as it is truly a very basic rom, so the speed is much faster.

Anyway, both Helmi and Xplode's rom are the best.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] meehaa:
AKU

Adaptation kit update
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Rembrandt:
I second this vote.

Been using Xplode's ROM, since that was working fine for me.

Have switched to Helmi's vanilla-version, because I wanted an as clean as possible ROM.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] beldin2000:
I have to agree with the Vanilla-supporters here :)

Haven't tested other roms beside Helmi's though.

Installed this version just this morning - it's VERY nice... no annoying bugs found just yet. Works a lot faster too!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Beeblebrox-BSD:
Hello.

I have an MT6577 Chinese clone phone.

* Model GT-i9300 (alps I think) / Android 4.1.1 / Kernel v: 3.0.13

* Device has been rooted and "ROM Manager" installed.

* On an old Win XP 32bit Laptop, I installed: PdaNet USB driver, MTKDroidTools-2.5.3, sp_flash_tool-v3-1312 (v5 does not work).

MY QUESTIONS:

* BOOTLOADER: I wish to unlock and backup the bootloader. adb-fasboot does not work. I have found many tutorials, but mostly for more severe problems. My device is not bricked, so I imagine there should be a simple method to this. How can I unlock / backup bootloader?

* Are there any other steps I should take as preparation to flashing a custom ROM?

* Is there any way to check whether irreplaceable software (like bootloader) has been infected with malware or not (considering the rooting process)?

* Is it possible to load a kernel to device memory without flashing it? Many SOC devices (not phones) can load the ROM through tftp, which allows testing without flashing. If the kernel or other part has errors and the device locks-up, all you have to do is reboot and the device boots normally into old kernel. Does ADB do this?

* On linux, you can get full hardware output with commands like lsof. I have come across several methods to do this. What can you suggest for a complete hardware listing on the device?

* I use BSD/linux and I'm very comfortable with both. However, I don't have a grasp on Android-specific things like "scatter file" and the partitioning scheme. I therefore may not understand some of your "Androidspeak" if you can bear with me.

Thanks for your time.

General USB driver install guide for MT65xx devices MTK Droid & SP Flash tools

Here is a general driver install guide for any non-mainstream MT65xx device for those who may have problems communicating with your device. It has been tested and works with both of the following tools and including the Google SDK "adb" and "flashboot" facility. It's a little long in the guide department but I have duplicated using it on several systems and it always works. So maybe it will help you. The guild takes you through installing both a working “MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port” and customizing the Google SDK USB driver file “android_winusb.inf” to support your non-mainstream MT65xx phone with the tools MTK Droid Tools and Smart Phone (SP) Flash Tools. as well as ADB and FlashBoot and including support for powered off phone communicating via COM port to SP Flash tool. Enjoy!

Eratta:

- you will NEED to use a version of MTK Droid Tools earlier than V2.5.3 if you want a backup copy of your phone which includes the user data and memory cache.
