Thanks for sharing these steps and thanks to the TS for creating this thread.

Now, is there an idiots version to this? I have never manually updated / flashed any device before.

I understand I can just wait for the OTA, but now that I have a Nexus device I'd love to learn how to do this.

I have already downloaded and unzipped the LRX21Q Factory Image, installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here, and enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options. What should I do next? :confused:

Also, is my understanding correct in that my data will be erased and my device factory reset if I perform this manual update and that future OTA updates will still work if I choose not to manually update down the road?
[Nexus 9 General] Hogyoku:
I have a bit of a problem if i flash all the stock img files manually ( this is not my first nexus ) but after reboot i still get the recovery error ?
[Nexus 9 General] Hogyoku:
Every time i try this part "Next hold down the power button and press the volume up button, and you will be in recovery mode." i bounce back to the bootloader menu ?

Thanks that did the trick !
[Nexus 9 General] brushrop03:
Go to the folder with fastboot and adb. Unzip everything in that folder.

Shift + right click in the folder and open command prompt.

Type "adb devices" to make sure your device shows up.

Then type in commands mentioned above
[Nexus 9 General] ryencoke:
Also had this problem, and option #3 worked for me. Thanks!
[Nexus 9 General] hill67:
No problem here, am on 21Q and the LFW73W recovery
[Nexus 9 General] L555BAT:
I'm starting to think I'm the only person in the world who hasn't received the ota update. Am I?
[Nexus 9 General] heissman:
Nope, I don't have it yet either.
[Nexus 9 General] brushrop03:
As far as I know the actual OTA doesn't work. You have to manually flash the update
[Nexus 9 General] Lokke9191:
I haven't received the update either.
[Nexus 9 General] bobjbain:
Once question for those that know, in the update package there is a metadata file which contains :-

post-build=google/volantis/flounder:5.0/LRX21Q/1573789:user/release-keys
post-timestamp=1415397802
pre-build=google/volantis/flounder:5.0/LRX21L/1546449:user/release-keys
pre-device=flounder

Can we just not change the pre-build to that that is in the error message? (flounder:L/LFW73W/1491895:user/release-keys)??

I have cross posted this elsewhere in this thread too, if that's not allowed I receive my rebuke with humility..
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Can you not just ↓ load the factory image and flash via fastboot?

[Nexus 9 General] Lokke9191:
I can, and will. Just answering that posters question who was wondering if he was the only one not to get the ota. Im thinking Google pulled it all together.
[Nexus 9 General] Hogyoku:
After following the guide im getting this error in the recovery after flashing it in adb sidload.

[Nexus 9 General] the.teejster:
Can anyyone confirm if the latest OTA : LRX21R from LRX21Q works for those of us who are stuck on LRX21L ?

I don't want to unlock my bootloader and lose all my data so I'd like to wait until either I get the update via OTA or I can manually update via the sideloading process.
[Nexus 9 General] marcomsousa:
LRX21R from LRX21Q is like the same says... It's not for LRX21L users.
[Nexus 9 General] richteralan:
Got an OTA, installed without any problems! Updated from 21L to 21R directly.
[Nexus 9 General] asharptm:
I guess you didn't happen to get the link, eh?
[Nexus 9 General] richteralan:
No. Apparently not.
[Nexus 9 General] asharptm:
That's unfortunate. :( At this point I'm thinking of just flashing the factory image unless I get an update soon. Seems like Google's just sitting on their hands with this problem.
[Nexus 9 General] 850RPM:
I received tht OTA twice in the last few days; both time ended in error;

I guess I'll wait for the next one.
[Nexus 9 General] bobjbain:
Link can be found here
[Nexus 9 General] marcomsousa:
Fixed!

Google released another OTA LRX21R from LRX21L - http://android.clients.google.com/p...is-LRX21R-from-LRX21L-factory-recovery-ok.zip
[Nexus 9 General] prdog1:
That fixes recovery. But update will only work with pure stock. Root or other non-stock system files will cause the update to fail. If have to flash to stock to flash the update might as well flash the new full image and save time. :cool:

Same problem here - any hints?

Device was rooted - I unrooted my device with SuperSu and sideload the OTA - no success - just the tegra3 error message....

thx!

[Nexus 5 General] compuw22c:
So like many of you who were running the awesome LPV build for the past few months and just recently tried updating to official Lollipop (LRX21O) have likely run into issues on first boot (black screen with only a back button). In this state/issue the phone will respond to "OK Google" but nothing else. The pulldown shade will also be present but show nothing. The issue appears to be related to the lock screen. The following is how I fixed my issue, and I will be looking at this thread to try and update the OP as we pin down the EXACT issue, but I believe I have a fix:

NOTE: If you've already updated and are AT the black screen, I hope you have a backup to restore as you'll need to revert to change some settings. If not, you may find flashing the system.img or zip of your old build (LPV) allows you access to your phone again to access these settings.

1. Restore backup or revert if necessary so you can access settings BEFORE flashing LRX21O.

2. Settings-Security-Screen Lock Make sure you have one set other than swipe so you can perform the next step (we will change this back later)

3. Go to "Trust Agents" on the same screen (Security) and turn OFF SmartLock

4. Go back to screen lock, now select SWIPE (or none if present, but I don't believe it's an option on most)

5. (Optional) I chose to both enable USB debugging as well as going into SuperSU (if present) and setting it to grant all requests. I did not need this, however if you're having issues it may help your troubleshooting to have root adb access.

6. With your lock screen set to swipe and smart lock off, now try flashing LRX21O, followed by a custom kernel (or boot.img if you have it) and/or root in that order if you'd like.

7. Upon boot, it SHOULD have resolved the black-screen issue. I did still have the "non-working home button" issue that was quickly resolved by running the setup wizard again with the following command via adb:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

When it asks about restoring backups or setting up as a new device, choose set up as new device. The "Restore" would simply re-download and restore apps that are already installed. "Set up as new device" simply tells setup to do nothing, which is fine, because all your data is already there :)

8. SDcard Fix (root required): If you have issues seeing SD card content, use these ADB commands below (credit to rootSU here

su

restorecon -FR /data/media/0

That's IT! You should be set. I love dirty flashing (I know everyone hates it because yes, it does cause a lot more chatter in the forums, but that's half the fun :) ) and problem solving. Everytime I see someone claiming they fixed a problem by factory resetting I'm thinking "...that's like saying you fixed your car by buying a new car". I hope I this makes other's lives a little easier :)
[Samsung Gear S] gTen:
Does anyone have a Galaxy Gear S and a way of taking Macro photos? I would like to see the pixel configuration that Samsung used. It doesn't look like pentile based on looking at the magnifying glass the best I could but I am more interested in if they went with RGB configuration as with other devices or WRGB. A picture of a white screen would most likely show the configuration.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
Don't have macro capability here. But since Samsung uses black & white clock face for power saving. It only makes sense if the screen is WRGB layout.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaimingandhi:
The touch screen responds to continuous taps even when I don't tap it. When the keyboard is slid out, the start menu keeps on popping as if the start button on screen is being tapped. When keyboard is slid inside (device is closed), the device behaves as if the OK button (the "X" on top right) is being tapped continuously. Due to this, I can't open any program. (As soon as a program is opened, the "X" button on top right is automatically clicked and I reach Home screen again!

I uploaded a video about this mal-functioning of device:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAyRLQ01oo

I have already:

1. Alligned screen

2. Hard reset device (Left and Right softkeys + Reset button)

3. Updated ROM and hard reset device

but of no use! :( Please help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] abubasim:
I haven't heard of a software problem causing what you're seeing on your phone. And a hard reset should have cleared that if this was the case.

Do you have a screen protector applied? If so then make sure it doesn't reach under the cover round the screen. Maybe some dirt got in between the screen edge and the cover?

If the phone is under warranty then just take it to the service centre.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamiefiedler:
maybe you have a warped case...the flexing might cause the touchscreen bezel to make contact with the screen. it may flex differently when opened/closed.

what happens if the slide is 1/2 open?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
This is the most likely explanation and there was an identical case reported in this forum somewhere.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaimingandhi:
Even when its half open, the OK ("X" on top right) keeps clicking.

I'm using the same case that came with JasJam. Have attached a screen protector to the screen. Could that be the cause of problem? :confused:

I contacted imate support. They asked me to send the device. Hopefully, the problem should be solved...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamiefiedler:
before you send it in, remove the screen protector and try it again. even if it doesn't work, i wouldn't send it in w/the screen protector on anyway...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaimingandhi:
Wow! Seems the device has problems with heating up! Found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285062

Solution: Send it back!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaimingandhi:
I had to send it back to service center. They replaced the main board! The device seems to be working fine now.

So i no longer have notifications for text messages... Had them in the developers 5.0... Anyone else experience this... There used to be a completely new "push" notification settings, where u could do everything like put notifications to sleep for a hr and everything. But guess google got rid of it this final version.. I use hangouts as my text client... But only options there is to change notification sound and toggle vibrate. So lollipop issue or hangouts issue...

[HTC One Mini 2] razvanica:
Hi,

I tried to root my HTC One mini 2, but at some point got stuck. So now My device is not rooted, but not stock either, I try to install an update to the OS and it just reboots and then tells my an update is available.

When I enter fastboot it shows **RELOCKED** and S-ON.

I tried to re-unlok bootloader (adb and all in one toolkit) but when i choose "Yes" for unlock bootloader, "Entering recovery..." message shows and nothing happens. I still can choose between "Yes" or "No" option.

Please help, I can't stand this anymore.

Thx guys.
[HTC One Mini 2] doiutzu:
Did you reflash stock recovery?
[HTC One Mini 2] razvanica:
stock recovery

No, I don't know how to do that, I assumed that first i need to unlock again.
[HTC One Mini 2] razvanica:
[SOLVED]

Got it, all I had to do was to keep power button pressed for about 10 seconds when asked to choose YES or NO for the Bootloader unlock, obviously after choosing YES option.

After bootloader was unlocked it was OK to flash stock recovery.

Everything back to normal now.

THX.

My mom and day just upgraded to the s5 as well.... They have both the black ones.... I have the white ones...

On my phone (white one) the bezel is sealed tight and flsused with the LCD...

We took it back to the sprint store and replaced it with two different black ones..... same issue....

Is this normal and will it affect the dust and water resistant?

-fresh intall stock 4.4.4.

-ran lost101 debloat script

-installed GNL from here

but google now cannot be selected as default home
[Moto G Themes and Apps] moralesnery:
Reflash?

You installed stock ROM and then ran a debloat script.. Why don't you better flash the GPE ROM and then install Google Now Launcher? That way you'll have zero bloatware and will get updates a few days before stock ROM users.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] abendroidx:
Not really a fan of gpe wanted to keep stock fw as it is almost vanilla plus stable but really wanted to get gnl running on it
[Moto G Themes and Apps] ILoveMyMotoG:
The reason why you can't see home is you removed the original launcher, to solve this just install another 3rd party launcher, don't set it as default then install the new Google Now Launcher and select it from the popup list and set as default :)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] danielsinnema:
I suggest installing 4.4.4 GPE with root and remove the system apps you don't like with system app remover from Play Store. And ultimately install GNL.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] abendroidx:
i did not remove the stock launcher check out the screen cap in the first post, i also tried your suggestion at first the home menu in the settings was missing so i installed nova from play store then it reappeared the uninstalled nova the menu remained but GNL is still not recognized even if installed. also tried third party home/launcher switcher :(

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Longhair:
I have all my contacts on my phone in alphabetical order and I was looking for a better way to organize everything by category.

I came across this: Outlook 2003: Organize contacts with folders and thought that would have been perfect.

So after following the instructions on my home computer, I ended up making a few different folders and categorized all my contacts.

Now when I plugged the phone in to the ActiveSync 4.2, it looked for changes as normal and then when it was finished I seen that all my Contacts were gone :mad:

Now is there a way to have it see the different "folders" under Contacts or did I waste my time?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] JC#79:
I did something similar but I put the catergories on the phone first and they were then found on Outlook 2003. Try it that waty round first and see how you go?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] allenf:
AIUI Activesync only syncs the top level folder in Outlook contacts - which I am guessing is empty?

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/chats/transcripts/04july01.mspx

I organise by Category and apply a Category filter in Pocket Informant when necessary.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Longhair:
Could you put into detail on how you did that or tell me where you found out how to do that with the instruction booklet?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hays:
I have sorted my contacts into categories. What I want to have is friends contacts when I'm at home and work when I'm...at work

However if I set view by one of those categories, it's ok, but when I open contacts the next time it goes back to showing them ALL

Any ideas ?
[Note Edge General] chukwu77:
Hey guys, just wanted to start this thread for those of us who have officially picked up the edge to post thoughts and impressions about this amazing new device!

I previously had the Docomo variant but sold it online. I now have the T-mobile version of the Edge and I am IN LOVE with this phone. I think Samsung has something big on their hands!

Really love the Edge screen and how it has so much available customization.

it doesnt really feel awkward holding the phone. And I noticed that the Edge screen does differentiate between me holding that part of the screen in my palm and my finger tips actually selecting something which is pretty cool!

Please post your thoughts!:):):)

BTW I picked up my edge from T-mobile in Atlanta(Lenox Mall) and they told me that people were waiting in line when they opened to get it. I was actually there a few hours after they opened and there were about 5 people already getting activated! Looks like this phone will be a success for Samsung!

[Note Edge General] adamj546:
Picked mine up about 30 mins after open. I got it from Tmobile off Preston Rd in Frisco, TX they had a more than few left.

I absolutly love the phone so far. One thing I love is when I am playing a game or browsing the web and I get a phone call instead of it taking the hole screen I can accept or decline on the edge screen. The games on the edge screen are a nice touch. The battery not so happy with out of the box went from 56% out of box down to 8 in a few hours but we will see what happens when I full charge it. So far I have had it on the wall charge for about 20 minutes and went from 8% up to 43% so huge pro.
[Note Edge General] danengland:
To those who have picked up the AT&T version, I'm just curious if it came in the ugly orange AT&T box or if it was the same packaging as seen I'm most unboxings. Not a big deal at all...just curious!
[Note Edge General] xile6:
I find the phone to be great. It was a bit weird holding it at first since the trim stuck out some. But after a few minutes it was great.

Overall the phone is fast and smooth (coming from a note 3).

But the main thing. The EDGE. Its pretty damn great. I like how wide the screen is and how it just flows over.

The launcher is different but yet cool. Since there isnt icons on the bottom of the screen you have more room. (this is probably the same with the note 4 and s5 but new to me lol).

The edge has came in handy and for speeding up task and the floating windows is great. You gotta turn on mutli window then all you gotta do is drag from the left corner down and bam floating window.

Great phone.
[Note Edge General] ricerx:
From my past orders, purchases & exchanges, all of my preorders came in the OEM packaging whether it be Samsung or Apple. Refurbs, store bought or online orders of phones after official launch, usually come with the orange box. One guy posted his white Edge that he got from AT&T this morning and it came in the orange packaging. Again, that's just from my experience.
[Note Edge General] lawhawk:
The incoming calls not blocking the entire screen is great! That's been a big pet peeve of mine forever.

I mean why can't I just dismiss the incoming screen without broadcasting to everyone that I just sent you to voicemail?

Please please please please

[Note Edge General] chukwu77:
Yea the way the screen falls of the edge is just exquisite! And let's not forget the news ticker and sports ticker from Yahoo which is really well done! Really cannot wait to see what devs come up for edge screen! Imagine a ESPN ticker hitting you with updates all day long! Note Edge FTW!
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Yeah, I so badly want the Yahoo sports & news ticker. These didn't come with Korean version. ?
[Note Edge General] haha438:
Purchased mine from Montebello mall, CA. The edge screen essentially replaced my circle launcher app and made it accessible from all apps. But there is one con I have noticed during my day of usage, and that is that I am still not sure how to access the brightness control of the notification area when playing a game in landscape mode with the edge screen on top (which I do from time to time). Not a big issue since all I have to do is rotate the phone so that the edge screen is facing down to access that.
