update to 5.0.1?

If i install this will it upgrade to 5.0.1 successfully?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] squeeish:
No it will fail because you already have a custom recovery installed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] chuck312:
I flashed all of the zips so the recovery went back to stock as well and although it took about a whole day the 5.0.1 notification hit my screen and it upgraded flawlessly. I can confirm that this stock image took me from rooted kitkat where I was not getting ota notices back to stock ota receiving lollipop! Many thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DMF1977:
So are these zips only for the 32 gb model? Will they not work on the 16 gb model? :confused:

Eksasol,

Thanks for this great topic. Just updated my Nexus 7 from PA 4.6 to Simple AOSP android lollipop.

Used your instructions and files to get the N7 in factory lollipop with correct bootloader.

After that flashed the Simple AOSP with GAPS.

N7 running fast, Smooth and flawlessly.

Regards, Harald

Thank you for the informative tutorial. I am on KK 4.4.4 with a custom ROM

My understanding is to first go to TWRP and do a wipe, then flash both the bootloader the ddr and the system zips. The reboot into stock LP.

Will the bootloader still be unlocked after this?

Will I still have root and the TWRP recovery or do I install the rooting and TWRP again so I can install a custom ROM?

Your indicated that all of the zips are to be used.......when do I need to use the "Boot".zip, the very 1st zip on your list?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] khaytsus:
It'd be easier to just use the LATEST Nexus images (5.0.2) and reflash all, then set back up, since you have to factory reset anyway. Only difference perhaps might be you'd lose your SD card contents.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cyaclone:
Do I still follow my understanding and just substitute the updated system zip?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cyaclone:
Completed the conversion to Lollipop from KK 4.4.4 doing a factory reset and using the bootloader, ddr, and system zips with TWRIP. Rebooted and was returned to TWRIP and installed the latest CleanROM 5.1.and rebooted again. SD section was not changed by this action and I was ready to start. Thank you for your instructions.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
I can see my SDcard in Recovery and I can copy stuff off via MTP from recovery...

But after I ran Fix Permissions I rebooted. The system hung on the boot animation so I force power off.

I figured the permissions got screwed up for some reason so I decided to just reflash the system.img from fastboot.

So, I did that and rebooted.

On boot it didn't hang but it acted like I was setting up a brand new phone. I finally got to the desktop and while all my apps are installed still, everything is missing. I can't see anything on the sdcard and stuff seems generally screwed up. If I go in to the settings and look at storage it still showes I have 20-something gb's used up.

Ugh... I don't know what to do... sort of panic'ing right now.

Anyone got any ideas?

edit: something is royally hosed up. Even if I boot up in and go to es file explorer and try and create a new folder on my new "blank" sdcard space it gives a failed to create folder error. I think the fix permissions option royally screwed things up. Not sure if there is any coming back from this one :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Read the /sdcard sticky in general
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Thanks rootSU.

Yeah, something is definitely funky between current recoveries and Lollipop.

What I found out last night:

-I cut my losses and decided to hard wipe everything. I was able to DOWNLOAD files off my phone from TWRP 2.8.1.0

-I wiped, reflashed, got the half storage issue, flashed stock recovery, factory reset, all better

-Booted Lollipop, signed in, it autoinstalled my ~130 apps (this took a long time)

-I still had all my "sdcard" files I'd downloaded. My phone wasn't recognizing in windows mtp while booted in Lollipop so I decided to copy files BACK over in TWRP

-Copied over my 16gb worth of files in TWRP (this took a very long time). Once copied over it looked good in recovery and windows mtp

-Rebooted back in to Lollipop

-All of the files I had copied over in Recovery to my phone were unreadable. Folders were showing up as "?" icons in ES File Explorer. So, all that time I'd spent copying files over from recovery was ****.

-Went back to recovery, could see files again in TWRP. Since Lollipop couldn't read them, I decided I had to just delete them from recovery and just copy them over WIFI

-Deleted in recovery, booted back to Lollipop, copied over via wifi (took >2 hours to copy over wifi)

So... in summary, TWRP + Lollipop are definitely NOT playing nice together.

It was DEFINITELY the "Fix Permission" function that totally screwed me.

And the kicker...

I was running it because on every boot I'd see the "Android is Upgrading" message flash up for a couple seconds. I googled it and someone had recommended the fix permission function.

And it's still doing it now. I now believe it is caused by the current root method from chainfire and will have to live with it until it is fixed I guess.

Sigh.... what an incredibly long night.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
And just discovered that the current TWRP folder on my phone is in this messed up state.

TWRP created this folder and it can only be viewed in recovery.

Even a root shell can't get in to it from ADB in Lollipop:

root@hammerhead:/sdcard # cd TWRP
cd TWRP
tmp-mksh: cd: /sdcard/TWRP: Permission denied
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redux90:
Yeah, I also have problems. Due to habit, I used "Fix Permissions" in TWRP - caused bootloop. Luckily i had just made a TWRP Backup, so I wiped the phone and restore it - worked fine again.

Guess I have to stay away from the feature until a fix.

I too am in the same boat, I was able to restore to a previous backup but there are issues with some apps and my storage is messed up.

GldRush98 - I was a bit confused by your post, may you please clarify

I am thinking of copying my files over to me desktop via MTP in windows. Wiping and re-flashing. Then, I plan on copying over the files - Is this what gave you issues? or was it just the TWRP folder.

or would this idea work: Wipe, re-flash then restore a backup (before i fixed permissions)?

Thank you for your input

You can try the restorecon command from a terminal if you can get back in to Android.

Hi guys, I have the same problem. Is there a solution to fix it, with full wipe? I can use just Odin because I can't get anywhere in the phone. I'm now trying stock room so hopefully it will work. If someone know the correct way to get working phone again let me know.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ckannenb:
Hello Everyone,

I fell victim to this issue and am a total noob when it comes to this. I was actually trying to remove the root and flash back to the stock software and accidentally ran the fix permissions expecting it to fix an issue that was arising. I have a ROM to restore but TWRP wont pick it up and I cannot seem to locate the proper directory folder. I already backed up all my data previously to starting and am ok with wiping everything but pretty much at this point I am at a loss.

I have root and it's granting root to RTP when I type "su".

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Tried again and I'm still getting the same error. It is giving RTP root because I'm getting the # at the start of the next command line. I don't understand why it isn't letting me edit that file. I tried installing SQLite Editor and it doesn't even see the db even though I can see it with Root Browser. I tried making a copy of the db and putting it in a folder that my laptop can see so I could just edit it that way but that didn't work either because my laptop couldn't see the file (this is how I did it on 4.4.4). Any ideas?

[Nexus 5 General] Falinor:
You do NOT need root for this.

You can do this simply via ADB commands (no root required!) Go to the command prompt and go to the directory with adb/fastboot, etc. Type adb devices to ensure your computer sees your phone. After this do the following:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0

To verify that it worked, type in the following:

adb shell content query --uri content://settings/global --where "name='tether_dun_required' AND value=0"

The query should return a row_id and a value, reboot and you should be good to go.
[Nexus 5 General] hewey_mx5:
This worked. The terminal emulator method still didn't stick but SQLite Editor was able to open the db.

works, but needed some jujitsu

I was able to get my Surface Pro 2 tethered to my Sprint-connected Nexus 5 using the latest release of Wifi Tether Router (11/25). However, I had to go through the standard set of "Airplane Mode" reboots to get it to work.

Fabio counseled me to select the "Reset Defaul Conf" option from the top right menu (yeah, his spelling is atrocious). After that it worked fine for me. I think it is still a bit rickety. Good luck all.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
After what I've read about Lollipop so far I'm getting kind of ambivalent about updating. Here are two of my concerns in regards to notifications:

1) Heads-up notifications. Apparently developers are the ones that are now in control of whether notifications are important enough to completely blot out a piece of the top of the screen, including the ability to access the notification tray, until the notification is handled. So whereas before I could remain completely immersed in whatever app and wait until I decide I'm ready to pull down the shade, now I am forcibly blocked from accessing part of the app and user interface until I first interact with the notification. As far as I can tell users are unable to do anything about this intrusion.

2) Silent mode - it sounds like a lot of users are really upset already about this screw-up. The old silent mode allowed alarms through which was just perfect for the use case of alarms. You go to bed and you want your phone to shut up completely until the alarm that is supposed to wake you up. Now apparently the only real silent mode also silences alarms. "Priority mode", the feature that is used for so-called quiet hours, still lets through all sorts of vibrations from apps that many users cannot sleep through.

Are these accurate descriptions of the current state of affairs in Lollipop? If so I think it'll drive me nuts and I won't be able to switch until I can take control of these flaws. And with Xposed unavailable for the foreseeable future it means having to figure out how else to hammer a broken OS into respecting the functionality that used to "just work". Does this bother anyone enough that they'll just avoid upgrading for now?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spawne32:
I don't think so at all, it takes some getting used to because the system is alot more iphone-Esq in nature but it definitely works well. There is alot of few features that just bring the whole system up to date, feels very very modern now. Like when you plug the phone into the charger it tells you how much time is remaining until the phone is full, for instance my phone says 47 minutes until full right now in the charger. It can predict how much battery life remains based on typical usage. Having notifications on the lock screen so you don't have to go through the lock screen and then the pull down menu to see whats going on is very convenient. As far as silent mode goes, there is plenty of settings that allow alarms and events to still work even though calls and messages are silent, I like how they ditched the stereotypical "vibrate" or "silent" modes and went with "all" priority and "none". There are always going to be people that are very resistant to change and claim that its awful, but I feel this was a much needed update to the android system.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Nonetheless if I'm given only the choice now between either intrusive or useless notifications, it's not very appealing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spawne32:
but you are given a choice
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
The choice I am looking for is:

1) Completely disable heads-up notifications and keep them all in the notification tray, because if I'm doing something on my device I damn well want to stay in what I'm doing instead of other apps getting to choose if they can block part of my screen.

Can I do this on Lollipop?

2) At night, silence everything, *never* vibrate for anything ever, but allow alarms (and possibly voice calls) to ring.

Can priority mode do this?

From what I am reading, people are complaining that vibrate notifications are still leaking through in priority mode.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Can't say I've noticed any vibrations from apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I use 'None' at night and it stops everything, as designed, but I've not tried an alarm as I have a clock for that. Turning on 'Priority' alerts, but turning calls/messages/Events off, should only allow alarms through but, again, I've not tried this.

As for notifications, I've been watching videos on YouTube full screen and the notification hasn't popped up unless I drag down to view the bar so doesn't seem to be an issue

Best thing to do? Back up your phone, flash 5.0 and if you don't like it go back to 4.4.4 and restore your backup
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radagast82:
THIS.

Audio management is just a pain in the ass. I got the same need, when I go sleep I don't want ANY sounds from the phone except wake up alarm and calls coming from a whitelist.

Actually this is not possible. If I set interruption mode, it doesn't silence any other sounds (eg: try to put the charger in and you'll hear the sound/vibration), and If I set the completely silent mode it doesn't allow interruptions.

I used to use a third party app named Nights Keeper, it was perfect running on KitKat, but now it is not on Lollipop, as it can't set the phone on totally silent mode except calls from whitelist.

Dunno if it's a bug or a "feature", the fact is that i'm not satisfied with this, and i can't "fix" it with 3rd party apps.

I've noticed some issues with notifications in lollipop aswell.

Most disturbing is that notifications just pop up as icon in the status bar, except the app is heads up supported (like hangouts) than you get the heads up notification of course.

Before you had at least something like a banner. Even if it was only one line, at least you knew from whom your eg. message or email was and the subject or the first words.

It's seriously just the icon now :(

That devs have to implement things like buttons or a textbox is obvious, but just the text???
