[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derragon:
Came across some more information.

Apparently, the Nexus 5 (both the D820 and D821), have four different boot configurations. Boot0, the one that is disabled altogether by default, can be activated via adding a 22K resistor to pad R3025 (attached to pin BF20 on the MSM8974). By adding this 22K resistor, we should be able to use Boot Config "0" and at the same time enable hardware Watchdog which makes me assume this is a debug mode for the Nexus 5 (and hopefully this might enable the JTAG pins). Will update as I come across more information.

Sorry, but I just want to butt in a let you guys know that there are users on here that still appreciate your dedication and curiosity to Android. This is why I love Android.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derragon:
Thanks for the support, dEris!

So after digging around some more, the four boot configurations and Watchdog enabling GPIO pins are standard on all of the MSM8974 SOCs. The info I posted apples to both the LG G2 and Nexus 5. The MSM8974 has these GPIO pins standard across, from what I can tell, all boards. If that is correct, backing up the eMMC might be far simpler than I originally thought.

Just keep in mind that I am making a lot of assumptions here. I do not have the hardware to test this myself with, and until I do this is all speculation.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derragon:
Alright, I've edited some photos to show all of the eMMC's pins on the PCB. One thing I'd like to note that the eMMC CLK pin is located on the other side of the board by the MSM8974 instead of near the eMMC chip itself.

Here are the photos:

Using these diagrams we should be able to connect directly to the eMMC chip.

So it is not required to find Vcc, Vss, VccQ and VssQ connections?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derragon:
Sorry, I am pretty new to all of this, so thanks for the info on the other pins that I need to find. Will post a diagram of where VCC, VCCQ and GND are when I get back from work. Sorry for not posting those ones!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkchu:
My Nexus 5 refuses to power-on and I'm fairly interested in recovering all the data stored on the eMMC chip. This thread is helping out and it would be awesome to have the location of the various power pins. By the way, how did you manage to get all this information? Thanks anyway for the work you've done.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abasitm.1993:
Hey everyone at XDA Developers!

I am looking for a solution to a problem, which I am facing with my HTC Wildfire A3333, after installing a custom ROM of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the ROM is called "Cyanogenmod 7 (Stable version)".

The problem is that sometimes the phone does not produce any type of sound, whether phone ringtones, notification sounds, or media player audio playback. This happens almost suddenly after a period of some hours of phone usage.

Is there any type of a bug in this ROM or anything else, and is there any valid and working solution to this problem? If there is, then kindly guide me please, Thanks in Advance...

If you reboot does the problem resolve itself? Also have you tried to flash the latest nightly build?
[XDA Assist] him313:
I recently rooted my android phone. Today, i was using my phone and suddenly i see a notification in the status bar. It said, "Secret video recorder has been installed" - a notification seen when any app is installed from the play store. This sent a chill down my spine.

- is it possible that my phone has been hacked. And someone is controlling it

- Has my phone security been compromised

- I also though, may be my google account password has been leaked. And someone simple installed the app from the web play store using my account.

Can anyone please suggest, what exactly might have happened. I have uninstalled that app and also searched my app list for any potential malware. I also wanted to know about the security vulnerabilities which come with rooting a phone. I am very worried about my data.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edward.nguyen:
Hi guys,

I have a Note 2 N7100. I'm about to flash the DN4 into it. Did the ROM rooted already or Will I have to root it by myself?

And also how to activate the backup file?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
Flash TWRP or Philz recovery first.

Take EFS backup first. Find Dr. Ketan's Multitool on XDA (search it there) to do that. Flash it via recovery and back up EFS.

Take Nandroid Backup via recovery. Check for the option in TWRP or Philz.

DN4 is a pre-rooted, zip aligned and deodexed ROM based on pure stock kernel and touchwiz.

Follow the DN4 thread, read the flashing instructions carefully and flash the ROM.

Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Hi,

I have Iball andi 4di anroid phone (RAM - 256MB, OS - ICS 4.0.4) and it has 8GB sd card.

Problem which I am having is not able to install apps in SD card. After Installing 1-2 small app (5-10MB size) internal memory gets full and msg displayed continuously "low memory space". (due to this issue not able to open the existing app)

In the setting I can see and have already selected the option to install the app in SD card but after sd selection also it installs the app in internal memory.

Tried with reset (factory reset) several times but its not working.

If I root the phone does this problem will be resolved? Can anyone help me about this?

I have seen several threads on many 5.0 apps, but not alot of the packages are updated or there are several of the same threads. Does anyone have a link to a specific thread for all of the lollipop apps (working)
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
All,

Please be aware of this. Flashing a compiled lollipop AOSP ROM may break your recovery. Actually, although I expect it - maybe you wont - but also factory images do this)

Zips may contain the following files:

/system/recovery.init.boot.p

/system/bin/install-recovery.sh

One is a recovery patch and the other is a script to run on boot and patch your recovery. If you flash a lollipop AOSP ROM and boot immediately, if these exist, your recovery will break.

Flashing superSU immediately after the ROM should

prevent the issue as that replaces /system/bin/install-recovery.sh with its own /system/etc/install-recovery.sh used to call root.

It may just be better for everyone to remove those from the zips before flashing (or uploading) though. If your bootloader is unlocked, you're OK, you can just fastboot flash your recovery back. However if its locked, you'll waste hours backing up your sdcard, preparing to unlock your bootloader and wipe the device, so beware and be careful

Dan

Do you mean flashing the ones built as zips or any?

Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Anything not a dev preview. Just check the zip before flashing. If its a zip that contains .DAT archives, you can check from TWRP file manager after flash.

Although official may also have this one released. Not sure. Maybe just the OTA as some of the compiled ROMs seem to be using the OTA method instead of user debug or user method.
[Nexus 5 General] AA1973:
You mean something like this?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Yep. Unless whomever compiled that changed the make to exclude those files, they'll be there. It shouldn't be a problem for most who will immediately flash superSU. Its just for anyone who attempts to boot before flashing superSU as the scripts run at boot then delete themselves.

Anyone not wanting root but wanting to keep recovery, you can check and delete the files using the recovery file manager (philz or TWRP) once flashed. Just don't boot until you do. The problem with the OTA zip is the .DAT files are harder to analyse unlike a normal zip.
[Nexus 5 General] AA1973:
Multi Rom decided to intervene by cancelling the boot up process, although I had flashed SuperSU.
[Nexus 5 General] vercety974:
Can we replace the stock recovery by TWRP.img and then flashall.bat ?

[Nexus 5 General] seandorsman:

Oh - I'm so happy that I flashed SU right after the ROM... ;p

Ah well, unlocked bootloader anyways, but still good to know.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

Does the flashall.bat include a line : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?

You can check by opening the bat file in notepad..

If it has, then no. Well yes, but it will overwrite your current recovery again.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
You could if their flash all includes a recovery. I'm not sure about AOSP ROMs generated as full images. The patch I have seen comes from building AOSP from source and distributing the resultant ota package (which is a full rom)
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Stock ROMs have this feature, it's nothing new.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Stock OTA zips have this feature. Factory images do not, yet that is irrelevant. The point here is that compiled AOSP ROMs should not be distributed as OTA packages, yet here we are, with rushed, ill-conceived builds causing this issue. This is new for AOSP flashable zips. I've been flashing AOSP since cupcake and its definitely new to me and since others have fallen in to this trap, let's assume its new to them too.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Yes, factory images do have this.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
No, They have then shell script. Not the patch file.

..and from the thread title. Again - I remind you that it is irrelevant
[Nexus 5 General] p4rot:
I found this line(/system/bin/install-recovery.sh) in file_contexts, is it where i need to delete it?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
If you have file_contexts then you are flashing a .DAT OTA. You can't get to the files until you flash the ROM. Flashing the ROM unpacks the .DAT archives into /system at which point, you could use a recovery based file manager or adb to delete the 2 files mentioned in post 1. This is assuming you're not going to root it. If you root it, you *should* be OK but sometimes its best to be safe than sorry.
[Nexus 5 General] upndwn4par:
I just extracted the factory system.img of the 3rd revision of the L Preview, and it has both files mentioned in the OP.

Also, saying that compiled AOSP ROMs should not be distributed as OTA packages is not true. This has been done since this feature has been available.

I just finished building Lollipop for the first time. The files mentioned in the OP are not present in the out/target/product/hammerhead/system folder, or any other folder that I can find. Can't confirm if they are in the system.new.dat file, or after flashing since I haven't flashed it yet (maybe tomorrow). Hopefully there is an option to build a folder-based zip instead of these .dat files.

Scripts that install recovery have never been an issue unless a recovery.img is present in the zip, or there is a backup cached in a partition. Maybe that has changed. This will be figured out soon enough.

Still good advice to flash supersu before booting until this is understood.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
When I talk about irrelevant factory images, I'm not talking about unofficial previews. ...and yes it has changed. It doesn't need a recovery.img because it has a .p which is a patch file. The patch file upgrades an existing recovery by patching new code into it. Obviously if the recovery is not stock, that code kills recovery. There's not really much to understand. If the files are there, take them out.
[Nexus 5 General] illr:
Actually the recovery is still there if you do a temporary boot into recovery from tool kit (wugfresh) it is there. Restore to 4.4 and you will still have recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
No, it isn't there. Did you know you can boot into recovery even if it isn't installed? using fastboot (which is what tool kits use).

Also,. Don't use toolkits. Dangerous.

"fastboot boot recovery.img" will boot into temporary recovery without flashing it.
[Nexus 5 General] mikeszf:
Wait, is "fastboot boot recovery.img" overally dangerous (not just this case) or just the toolkits? I kinda like the command.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
The command is fine. Tool kits are dangerous. Please read link in signature.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Command is not dangerous
