[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikssims:
Ok i managed to flash the lollypop on my device! But there were few issues. First thing was that when i connected my device and ran the abd devices command, it did not detect any device at all. Then i was messing around downloading usb drivers and installing and uninstalling them. I did not manage to get it working. I tried running some test commands and nothing happened, like abd reboot-bootloader. So nothing was working and i decided to run the flash all thing to see what it tells me, somehow it started doing a very slow process of flashing, which my device did detect. So after about 20 minutes of flashing and booting, lollypop was installed. But how do i lock my bootloader now? I cant run commands and i do not have root.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You'll need to be able to run fastboot commands
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikssims:
I tried doing nearly everything, i uninstalled drivers, installed Google drivers, used some cmd apps that auto-install drivers, and whatnot. The adb is just not detecting my device, but somehow i managed to flash lollypop nevertheless. :confused:

Any ideas? I tried doing this on 2 pc's now, and it does not detect my device. Same thing on both pc's even though i used different usb driver install methods.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its nothing to do with adb. Get fastboot working.

Use the drivers as described in my "adb and fastboot" thread.

Links in the "guides and info threads" link of my signature.

Otherwise, post in the diagnosing adb and fastboot thread, which is a sticky.

Your only option is to fix fastboot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikssims:
Alright, i have just uninstalled all usb drivers i have that have something to do with the nexus 5. (like in the guide)

First thing, where it says "Extract the zip to c:\adb (created earlier by the installer)" about the naked usb driver. Do i have to extract it so that there is a folder called "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.73" In the ADB folder? Or am i supposed to put the contents of the zip file in the adb folder. So that driver files mix together with adb and fastboot things?

And another thing is, do i have to keep internet connection ON ? As soon as i plug my nexus 5 in bootloader mode in the pc, it auto-installs some drivers that do not work, and i can not manually update them because it tells me the latest version is already installed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It doesn't matter how you extract it however for tidyness have a universal folder.

There are no internet connections available in the bootloader. If you're booting into android, you're not doing it right.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikssims:
Yeeeh i managed to lock my device, and the tamper flag is false too. Weird though, that it now detects my device as Nexus 4. But anyhow, thanks for your guides and help!

Edit: I meant about the connection in my pc. Now i simply turned off the internet connection, uninstalled all the drivers, restarted my pc, plugged in my device and where it said Android(!), i right-clicked and manually installed the naked universal driver as it was in your guide. It still did not detect my device when i wrote "adb devices" but it did detect me on "fastboot devices", then i wrote "fastboot oem-lock" and then checked "fastboot oem device-info" Now the tamper flag is false and the state of device is locked. :)

[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Vignesh Kanna:
what u r saying sounds odd..

If u can install MIUI rom perfectly then u must be able to install other roms also. If u r doing everything right and still have problems, then there may be 2 possible things to change

1. ROM file may be corrupted. Please confirm that the rom file is perfect.

2. Recovery. Use TWRP. U don't have to mount anything. Juz wipe to factory reset, install zip and restart. Now u can install TWRP from playstore itself as A117 is officially supported by teamwin. Follow the link for more details.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steezy123:
I currently have S-Off and have it rooted through Weaksauce and SuperSu I believe. I have flashed ROMs through TWRP but did not like them, so I recovered back into my 4.4.2 stock. If I update to 4.4.4 by Verizon's OTA, will I lose my root and S-Off?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jamesakasparks:
kinda a noob but...

I'm not a hundred percent but I think the only way you lose it is if it upgrades the boot.img search for tigers posts because from the way it sounded to me if you flashed back to stock you'd have all ready lost your s-off.... Unless you've flashed one of the stock with the boot.img and recovery img removed. If so I'm pretty sure your good for the firmware upgrade if it'll ota without stock (or forged) boot.img file... Anyway man I'm slightly baked and never been accused of being smart enough to remember **** I read two weeks ago so search "tigerstown" posts and threads and read man and when you understand all a bit better than me then come message me and we'll discuss it a bit so it'll stick to my head a lil longer than last time man. Hope my rambleing might have shed some light on the subject or at least pointed you to the posts that know lol goodluck
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
The only way to "lose" s-off is to issue the fastboot command to set that flag which many smart people would never advise you do anyway. Nothing we are talking about here will do that automatically.

If you're s-off and on a custom Rom of any sort, I would recommend updating the firmware through tigerstown's method the previous poster referred to. If you're going to the trouble to flash everything necessary to take the ota, you may as well just flash his file and be done.

If you prefer stock, I would recommend you flash a stock-based Rom like CleanRom or NuSense. They come pre-rooted with some bloat removed and just a few tweaks added like write-protection removed, init-d support, etc.

If you really insist on running pure stock with root then you should at least root properly by uninstalling weak sauce and flashing the su binaries in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] steezy123:
Thanks for all help, I'll start readin up. Just one question: let's say I update my firmware to 4.4.4 from Verizon's OTA, will I be able to flash this clean rom via TWRP? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2732877

The only reason I ask is because it says the user must be running 4.4.4 firmware to flash the rom and the only way I know how to get 4.4.4 is from Verizon's OTA
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
You can get everything you need from Verizon's 4.4.4 release by flashing the no boot no recovery file from the tigerstown thread mentioned earlier. It's the first file listed in his op. The rest of the ota contains the recovery (which you don't want since you need your custom recovery to flash custom ROMs) and the boot.img/kernel (which you don't need since every room comes with a kernel). It's not wrong till go back to stock to take an ota, it's just unnecessarily difficult when people like tigerstown make it so easy for us to accomplish the same thing.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
This guide details how to update HDX Nexus ROM from version 1.4.x to 2.0.1.

Please read through this carefully to familiarise yourself with the process before attempting the upgrade.

STEP 0: Requirements / File Downloads

- Download the .3.1.0 stock file for your device

- Get Safestrap 3.75 B02 for your device

- Get Towelroot

- ROM links will be in the usual place

- .3.2.4 update.bin for your device

STEP 1: Introduction

- Use Safestrap to backup your /data partition if you wish to keep you settings from HDX Nexus ROM

- If you already have .3.1.0 installed on stock ROM then go to step 3

- If you are running HDX Nexus ROM in stock then go to step 2

STEP 2: Install .3.1.0

- Flash .3.1.0.zip

- From safestrap perform a Factory reset

STEP 3: Enable updates

- If you have used an OTA update blocker script please undo the changes to re-enable ota updates

- If you installed the .3.1.0.zip from STEP 1 then do the following:

- From safestrap main menu press Mount and select "System"

- From safestrap main menu press Advanced->File Manager

- From safestrap rename /system/etc/security/otacert.old to otacert.zip

- From safestrap rename /system/app/com.amazon.dcp.old to com.amazon.dcp.apk

- reboot

- The screen will go black for about 10-20 seconds then you should see the grey and orange kindle fire logo

STEP 4: Upgrade to .3.2.4

- When the device has booted select your language settings and press next

- On the wifi settings page, do NOT connect, instead select the complete setup later option

- For Thor copy update-kindle-13.3.2.4_user_324002120.bin to the root of your sdcard

- For Apollo copy update-kindle-14.3.2.4_user_324002120.bin to the root of your sdcard

- On your kindle go to Settings->Device->System Updates

- The screen should show the update is ready to install

- Press the Update button

- The kindle will then validate the update, reboot and install the update

STEP 5: Obtain Root

- Use towel root

- Towel root requires you to be connected to the internet, so as soon as you have obtained root disable your internet connection.

STEP 6: Install Safestrap

- Use Safestrap-Thor-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk or Safestrap-Apollo-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk

STEP 7: Install HDX Nexus 2.0.1

- Reboot to safestrap

- Flash HDX Nexus ROM 2.01

- Flash Gapps 1.2

- Factory Reset

- Restore your /data partition if you did a backup from STEP 1

- Reboot

- The screen will go black for about 10-20 seconds and then the boot logo will appear

- And finally - Enjoy!

Having a little problem

I had originally rooted my HDX with the rom toolkit v.94 and installed Safestrap 3.75. Created a recovery, etc. Everything worked fine. In order to upgrade from 13.3.2.2 to 13.3.2.4 I did this: (1) turned on OTA using toolkit, (2) turned off wifi, (3) uninstalled recovery, (4) uninstalled safestrap, (5) copied the update rom to the root directory of sdcard, (6) went to "device-system updates" and got the "No Network Connection" message. (Same story after a reboot). Looks like it's not seeing the update rom in the root directory (It's there because I can see it with ROM Toolbox). Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
Hi lennV,

1. Did you reboot after enabling OTA?

2. You may also need to do a factory reset if point 1 doesn't work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lennV:
I didn't reboot originally but I did toggle OTA on and off before rebooting after failure. No difference but I'm not sure if I haven't already messed things up by doing that.

Ok, now I've done a factory reset. Btw does a factory reset erase what was in the root directory (where I had copied the update)? If so I guess I'd have to re-root so that I can flash that update rom back in the root?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
If I understand correctly: You are still on 3.2.2 and you have factory reset?

If so, no need to root yet, you should copy the 3.2.4 update to the root of your sdcard and check for updates.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lennV:
That's correct. I'm still on 3.2.2 after factory reset. Ok, I'm a bit of a novice in this environment. I was thinking of "root" as the physical directory called "root" on the HDX. That's why I was wondering if I should re-root so that I can have access to it. But I think you're talking about something else. How do I copy the 3.2.4 update to the HDX? Do I just copy from the PC to any directory on the sdcard?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
copy it from the PC to the root of the sdcard - i.e. /sdcard
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lennV:

I used adb shell to check that the file is there. It is.

However, I'm still getting the "No Network Connection" message. There must be something really basic that I've missed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
I've never experienced that issue so don't know how much help I can be on this, is that error showing up on the software update page?

For manual update it looks like your doing the right things...

Check if /system/etc/security/otacert.zip and /system/app/com.amazon.dcp.apk exist.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lennV:

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Btw, that would mean reroot, etc. and I'd be back to where I was before I did a factory reset. I'm wondering if there was a problem when I blocked ota updates with the toolkit then unblocked it. Somehow, it stayed blocked? But wouldn't a factory reset take care of all of that? Or do some system files remain untouched by a factory reset? E.g., com.amazon.dcp.apk.otablock (was this created when I ran the toolkit)?

I've taken enough of your time so take your time replying. I can wait.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
Yes re-root, install safestrap and rename that file, a factory reset won't modify any /system files.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lennV:
After renaming the file, I'll need to uninstall safestrap before updating to 13.3.2.4?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
It should work without uninstall of safestrap.
