[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyhj:
I want Lollipop and my Nexus 4 won't shut up about the OTA update. Naturally, it failed, and i have since tried to find a fool-proof guide to uptade it WITHOUT LOOSING DATA. Not been so lucky. Theres talk about fastbooting (?) and going back to stock, but not much in the way of step-by-step guides. I think most people with nexus 4 and root are like me - did it because it was easy, not knowing a lot about it...

I have rooted with towelroot, installed TWRP custom recovery with flashify, unlocked bootlocker with Bootunlock, installed Xposed framework and SuperSU. Never used ADB or any commands. Can't be the only one in this exact situation :confused:

What excactly do i need to do to get Lollipop without loosing any data (like a regular OTA update)?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KishanW:
Maybe user Titanium Backup or some kinda backup software to backup files and stuff then just go for a fresh installation? Most of the basic settings should be saved to your google account.

This post should help you with setting up ADB in your computer and to get you up to speed with using ADB and Fastbooot :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyhj:
Thanks for the quick reply! But i was hoping for a solution that DIDN'T wipe my phone. I just wanna undo all the rooting business, so i can do the OTA...

Hey,

Follow these instructions http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312.

there are a few things to note:

1. You do not need to unlock the bootloader, you will have done that when you rooted

2. Download the 5.0 image instead of the original stock image when you do this.

3. DO NOT flash userdata.img. That will wipe your data.

Those are the steps I followed to flash over to 5.0 without losing data.

But I would absolutely do a backup anyway, just in case something goes wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyhj:
Ok, cool. So you're saying to towel-root my device, unlock bootloader with bootunlocker app, remove root by installing SuperSU and using the clean-up funtion. And then adb fastboot flash boot/recovery/system from the FACTORY img? Why not sideload the OTA instead? Because it wont work unless i reflash stock 4.4.4 completely?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dutch_in_seattle:
The strangest thing happened on my wifi Nexus 7 2013. I'm running Android 5.0 (Lollipop), unlocked and rooted (using Nexus Root Toolkit), with TWRP.

TWRP was working just fine until yesterday. afternoon. I ran a backup around noon and everything was fine. I could access and manage the backup folder under 'TWRP' from Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, and my computer (through USB cable). Copying, etc., all was working fine.

Then, later in the afternoon, I did another build and things are different. The backup completed just fine, but after rebooting I can't see the backup folder from my computer or Root Explorer, so I can't copy it to my computer or a OTG flash drive. I see it in ES File Explorer, but its icon has a big question mark and when I tap it to open the folder, I get an "Open As" dialog. I can't remove the folder (is it still a folder?), or rather the removal doesn't 'stick'; in other words, the folder keeps coming back. The only way I can remove the backup is from the File Manager within TWRP itself. All backups after the one I did yesterday afternoon now behave that same way now. They're taking up a lot of unusable space like this.

It's the strangest thing. I actually ended up going back to stock and root again, just to see if that makes a difference. But what's really odd now is the TWRP folder itself now has the question mark. So this behavior persists even with completely starting fresh.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I *believe*, but I'm not entirely sure, that TWRP was updated from 2.8.0.x to 2.8.1 between these backups. Could it have something to do with that? How do I copy the backup folder to my computer or a flash drive for safekeeping outside of my Nexus?

Thanks!

Ron
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Badd_blood:
I'm having this same issue right now. I need to restore from a backup but I am unable to access the twrp folder as it is corrupted or something. Reflashed stock 5.0 and the issue persists. Nexus 5 though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Badd_blood:
Okay I fixed the issue, this is what I did.

- Wiped everything in twrp

- Flashed factory 4.4.4 image

- Flashed previous version of twrp

- The folder was now normal, so I added my old backup to it

- Restored from backup and all is good.

If I had to guess, it looks like a lollipop issue. I also had problems with recovery changing back to stock when lollipop was installed. I'm sticking to my perfect 4.4.4 setup or now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dutch_in_seattle:
I just replaced TWRP with ClockworkMod recovery, and I'm seeing the exact same thing there! The ClockworkMod folder has a big question mark and is essentially inaccessible. I wonder if this is a Lollipop issue.

--Ron
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dutch_in_seattle:
I *think* I resolved the problem (thanks to this post in the Nexus 5 forum):

Open a terminal emulator application and enter the following two-line command (press enter after each line):

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

After doing that and rebooting, the TWRP and ClockworkMod folders seem normal again and I can access them, and the backups in them, as normal.

--Ron
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Badd_blood:
I think it is a lollipop issue. It doesn't seem to like custom recovery. My folder stopped working after trying to transfer a backup to it from my computer. I also had to flash twrp twice or more because it would keep reverting to stock recovery after reboot.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PotatoPatato5050:
Hey,

I've spent some time browsing the boards and it seems like everyone is keen to buy the Nexus 6 right now.

Is there any advantages in holding off? For a month or so? Just to see if there are any issues or defects that are highlighted through mass roll-out and usage, then waiting for these issues to be fixed and then buy? There may be no issues at all and even if there are they may be easily patched. I am talking more about hardware issues...

I remember a few issues/defects occurring with the N5 (or some other phone, that I can't remember) that resulted in minor hardware changes for the next production batch which resolved the issues/defects.

What is everyone's thoughts on this?

Apologies if this is in the wrong section!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericsignals:
Nexus 5 had a change to speaker holes....no hurt in waiting. I was all in to get a nexus 6..but I'm holding off...for now. Want to see reviews after the update and real users thoughts. And my nexus 5 is still a great phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
The phone might be cheaper, especially if you go for a contract price on black Friday. Also, maybe a nexus 5 refresh will be leaked. I know that second one might not happen but one can hope. The nexus 4 got tweaked with bumps to keep the glass back from laying on a table.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deekayy:
If you wait out now maybe a actual black version will come out and fix any cosmetic issues of the phone. Think back with the N5.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msal:
There are few benefits..

- possibility of different colors

- potential software bugs might get ironed out

- there might be a refresh in hardware.. (Nexus 5 and larger speaker holes anyone?)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Like what others have said, the only advantage is simply being a hardware refresh, additional colors, you'll have more options in terms of custom roms and kernels as the phone is being shipped out to more people.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lensgrabber:
Here is my only plus... You don't have to wait weeks for it to ship. In theory once the initial backorders are out the door it should be easier to walk in and walk out with one or get a same day shipping from GPS.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhuk0v:
Hi there,

My good old Nexus 5 power button decided to stop working the other day but, since it was still on guarantee, I was able to get a replacement from Google.

Thing is I have to send the original device to them and I wanted to perform a factory reset before that. Unluckily, the phone was accidentally turned off and now it seems it's impossible to power it on.

Is there any trick or button combination or whatever to power on this phone, without using the power button?

Thanks guys.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Take off the back cover and manually press the power button but that'll probably void the warranty
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhuk0v:
If it voids the warranty is not an option... speaking about the warranty, what about having the Nexus 5 unlocked and rooted? I didn't have time to unroot and lock it again... does that void the warranty too?

I've searched for a long while for help with this but I'm giving in now.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/how-to-transfer-antennas-one-xperia-z-to-t2807997

This thread explains the problem I'm having but I couldn't follow the solution like the other guy could. In short how do I remove and then refit the antenna cable from my old phone case to the new one? I've managed to remove the black plastic cover over it but it still won't budge and in trying to make it budge I managed to pull of the gold connector from the wire.

Which actually brings me onto two more quick questions. I'm assuming the cable will still be good if I just put the gold connector back on the end? But how would you suggest I do so? Also in taking apart my phone I put a few wholes in the foil on the bottom of the battery whilst trying to leverage it out, is the battery still safe to use? It also has a few scratches/light dents on the side from the same process.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Wooba99:
I've got a Canadian note 4 that I'm using in the UK. I bought a local sim (EE if that matters) and it won't make a call using standard local formatting.

For example, a number that is

0189 xxxxx won't work if I dial it like that.

I have to use the format

+44189 xxxxxx

Not a big deal, but I found it strange.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pat.:
Here's my guess...

When you first set up the phone did you have to enter a country ?

Maybe you need to let the phone know it's home country is UK as it sounds to me the handset still thinks it's a Canadian phone that's needing to use international dialing code for dialing the UK.

Maybe it needs changing to UK ? I would assume that requires factory reset then entering UK as country but as I say it's just a guess.

Hello Guys,

Few days ago I installed Android L in my Nexus4 and since then the back camera of my phone is not being detected. I'm using the Google Camera. I downloaded the factory image again for the second time and the problem still persists. So, I tried using a android L dev preview ROMs we have in this forum, where the camera should definitely work. I still have the problem. What should I do to get the main/ back camera to work?

TLDR:

Ever since android L google factory image installation my phone's back camera is being undetected. What should do to get it work?

I suggest you to try to build a working cm11 with that approach, it will be easier than cm12 and it will help you understand our current situation. As I said I won't start looking into cm12 until next week, and to be honest things don't look too good without stock rom 4.4 or kernel source.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Tarun93:
i do agree with jsevi83 pal even i tried with my noob knowledge now m bored :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] kD:
I went through your changes. I've came to some conclusions.

Add display_config header

Well it adds display_config header at CM11 but at CM12 it is already present.

display_config header at CM12 just add this line at the bottom rest all is same.

// set the view frame information in hwc context from surfaceflinger
int setViewFrame(int dpy, int l, int t, int r, int b);

This is the only extra part at CM12's display_config header?

So can you tell em do actually need to comment out this line?

Now libmemtrack is already present at CM12.

Now at media

mm-core/inc/QCMetaData.h is edited to disable few components but if i do the same at CM12 it throws the build error?

Build error is already posted above.

Any idea for fix would be really helpful.
