I just installed and had to do this. I had to press volume up and down plus power a few times. It's finicky.

BTW, how long does it take to wipe data with this? Seems to be taking a long time.
[Nexus 5 General] chief2842:
That worked for me thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] HMPsae:
Finally L installed, rooted and running smoothly (except for an android.process.acore messaged I got twice while setting up apps). TWRP installed without a hitch.

I have to say, this is by far Google's best OS release yet. I really like it so far.

Now that Lollipop is finally here, I have two questions.

One, how do I get Play Music lock screen controls :confused: is it not in Lollipop:confused:

Two, is adaptive brightness the same as auto brightness or is there a difference :confused::confused:

Installed great on my N5 32GB white! Flash all and everything. Took a while, about 5-10 mins to boot up though.

Restoring! :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] dmillerzx:
Same here, all appears to me working though.

How the heck did you root? I keep getting the supersu flash failed with TWRP...

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

Howd you root? My supersu zip keeps failing with TWRP
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Yeah but i got my storage reduced to 12.5 gb any way to fix it ?
[Nexus 5 General] sergini:
Yes, search this topic.
[Nexus 5 General] HiGhDRo3o5:
Same here.
[Nexus 5 General] bb709394:
Just to confirm after reading this entire thread:

1) Wipe data/factory

2) Manually flash the 5.0 update

3) Flash latest TWRP

4) Reboot into TWRP recovery

4)Wipe data/factory

5) Flash SuperSU 2.16 or later

6) Flash boot.img (the permissive kernel fix posted by Chainfire)

7) Wipe data/factory

8) Reboot and enjoy 5.0

It is a high level summary, but I want to only really flash only once.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] HMPsae:
ChainFire's Autoroot (can't post the URL). Saw it mentioned earlier on in this thread though. Speaking of which: Thanks to all of you guys. I was able to come here and follow the advice for a smooth upgrade.
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
Do a factory reset from the settings, I had to do that to fix the same problem.
[Nexus 5 General] reinert012:
go into the settings on your phone and factory reset and reboot.
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Thanks doing it as of now lets see if it works or not

Doing it . Hope it works thanks again

Everything is working fine here, root + TWRP recovery
[Nexus 5 General] reinert012:
I am using his autoroot zip from his website for the nexus 5 on 5.0 but it fails...what recovery are you using? This is the supersu im using http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
No need for any recovery for root,its cfautoroot -

Link

Extract the zip file on pc,reboot to bootloader and hit root-windows..
[Nexus 5 General] HMPsae:
So these are the steps I followed:

Downloaded the factory image

Extracted the .img files to my adb folder (or platform tools {basically anywhere you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe})

Placed this script (found on page 7 of this thread posted by Reinert012) into a .txt file, saved it, renamed it a .bat file and ran it while in adb mode.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz12d.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.21.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash cache cache.img

Booted into android, set everything up

Downloaded chainfire's autoroot tool

Booted into adb mode and ran the tool

Booted into android and confirmed root

Downloaded and installed the TWRP install manager app from the play store and gave it root access

Ran "install recovery"

Rebooted into the recovery to confirm.
[Nexus 5 General] reinert012:
damnit i was flashing that zip!! It's been so long since i had to do the autoroot. Thanks man!
[Nexus 5 General] yearziro:
Wow after reading through this thread......I will def use the search button more.....

Cant wait downloading images now since I cant get the OTA.....Hope my download doesn't fail download rate is all over the place

It's improved auto brightness, it's auto, but you can set the level it works from with a slider.
[Nexus 5 General] testamentg:
Oh, it worked for me. And just rooted it without any issue using given CF-Auto root at the 1st post.

Nexus 5 32GB and i unlocked the bootloader after :)
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
When I rooted my phone everything went okay except for when it showed "Google"it rebooted and then booted up normally. Now I'm trying to use Titanium Backup to reinstall my apps. Does anyone know what version is compatible with Lollipop :confused: I remember reading some wasn't compatible. This is an old version that I installed with ES so.. it just says it has no root even though I know I have root. In SU it shows "Titanium Backup".

So are we forced to use gmail app for all of our non gmail accounts now? When I click on the mail app it says that mail is now handled by the gmail app.

Thanks

[Nexus 5 General] NPS_CA:
DON"T USE TWRP right now to install SU; just use CF Autoroot; once you get root then swap out to TWRP

There are other steps chainfire does to ensure root
[Nexus 5 General] m52 power!:
FYI to all with 32Gb models showing as 12.5Gb:

I had the same problem, at this point I already had SuperSU and TWRP installed. Doing a "factory reset" rebooted into TWRP, TWRP formatted /data and rebooted within 5 seconds. Android came up after 10 mins and

I STILL had 12.5Gb.....

Solution:

I had to reflash the stock recovery.img through fastboot then do a factory reset AGAIN. This time it rebooted to the stock recovery and was erasing data for almost 10 minutes (IMO reformatting the partition size).

Then it booted up to android again and voila I have my 32GB back!

Anyone with root using greenify getting toast messages constantly coming up? I had to uninstall it. Might have been my double tap to sleep+screen off option in nova but i'm not sure. Didn't happen in the dev preview.

What version are you using?
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
flash-all.bat failed for me the first time I tried, with the same error many others have been getting. But after rebooting my PC it worked. Pretty weird. Could this have something to do with RAM? Like, if you don't have enough free ram for the system image (which is close to 1GB) it fails? It's odd that manually flashing works in that case, but oh well!

Yea. Auto hibernation isn't working for any apps, so I think they need to update Greenify first because Titanium Backup beta 6 worked fine for me.

[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Not after rebooting my PC, no. It went through the flashing process normally, ending with "Finished" and "Press any key to exit". The only errors were the ones about some .sig files missing that you always get when using Google's flashing script.

I successfully flashed L and then flashed the CFautoroot which was successful, i now have supersu working fine. Having never installed TWRP i installed the playstore version with busybox etc, all that appears to be working. Is this sufficent or is it better to flash twrp image in fastboot?? Basically just going to stick with factory image for a while then flash a custom rom once they are more stable.
[Nexus 5 General] slim-95:
Guys, Just use Skipsoft Android Toolkit to flash the image works flawlessly and no errors

Has anyone tried any of the preview custom kernels yet?
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Again, I had this at first, but after rebooting my PC it worked. No idea why, but try that. Or you can flash manually.

Woke up.

Downloaded the factory image.

Manually flashed each file properly.

Setup the device.

16GB reported size, wtf...mine is 32GB.

Wiped and formatted every partition, no luck.

[Nexus 5 General] PresidentMcCain:
I was able to flash LRX21O pretty effortlessly coming from the preview LPX13D. Booted into bootloader, flashed bootloader, reboot bootloader, flash radio, flash boot.img (kernel), flash system.img, flash TWRP 2.8.1.0, reboot into recovery, clear data, cache, dalvik cache. Reboot. And it booted up just fine, and I can still access all of my files on the "SD card".
[Nexus 5 General] carlphilipp:
For "writing system" I had to start the terminal in administrator. And then it worked
[Nexus 5 General] tsl_fruitdealer:
I flashed chainfires auto root before flashing recovery. You would need root if your flashing through the the app so just flash cf-auto root first, should be the next thing you do after lollipop .img
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Didn't work for me either.

CMD with and W/O admin rights crapped at flashing system.img

Installed ubuntu just to flash and glad it worked.

[Nexus 5 General] mikeszf:
Interesting, I flashed the image as I have done other times with 4.4.4 with no troubles at all over my 2-months old rom, could the problem be because of a previous version of fastboot? I updated mine when the sdk got released.

I also used a back port of my computer, directly connected to the motherboard. Some issues I've had on the past with several phones were because I was not connecting them directly on the motherboard.
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:

Yes, the zip on twrp threw some error about updater binary or something.
[Nexus 5 General] MorganH76:
I had the incorrect size issue when i flashed my 2012 Nexus 7 last night.

To fix this, just need Stock Recovery, and then boot into the device and do a Factory Reset from within Android. When it restarts and clears everything, the space should then report correctly.
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
I don't have this problem. I heard about this issue before on the developer preview, perhaps it's sometimes still there :confused: even going into Advanced, nothing happens.

Did you clean flash including your SD card :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] ambichetan:
my storage is only 16GB now, instead of 32GB :(

Black screen with back button

Either of you guys figure out a way to fix the black screen w/ back button issue?

Getting the same issue. Tried flash-all minus -w, then tried manual flashing of everything but userdata.img. No dice.

Did you notice that when you wake up your phone, you can momentarily see your former start screen icons?
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Dunno why its happening on Indian units.

Goto settings and do a factory reset; this might fix it. I read it somewhere.

Personally I restored my LRX21M backup using TWRP and then booted to the bootloader and flash the Factory image's bootloader, system, cache, recovery. Yes, I skipped userdata.
[Nexus 5 General] MorganH76:
Factory reset needs to be done with Stock recovery installed. I believe it will not work with Custom Recovery.
