[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilkyJohnson:
Even though the runtime is ART now, clearing dalvik in TWRP does force a 'rebuild' of apps upon boot, so it does still have a purpose.

The 'rebuild' I'm talking about is the "android is upgrading" screen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghettonine:
just flash the stock firmware with your recovery. I would recommend reporting this bootloop issue to twrp. Im sure it has someting to do with it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Flash system.img

When he says "firmware" he means

fastboot flash system system.img

It won't wipe your data, but it will remove no-force encryption (NFE) and you're going to need to re-root :good:

Had the same problem a few days ago.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrvnm:
I was able to use rootkit to flash stock and unroot and it goes through the whole process and states that it was successful and to wait until it boots. The problem is that it never boots and stays in the boot screen. Also I have had it on for 30 mins multiple times and still not working. I boot into recovery but this time I don't have TWRP anymore I just have a android with red triangle with no options to choose. Any other suggestions that could help?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
Re-flash stock factory images and stop relying on tool kits to flash stuff. Learn how to use adb and fastboot, or just don't bother messing with root.

My beef now with a FIDO xt 925:

I was on kk 4.4.2, then once the fido kk update came out yesterday, I reverted back to rtfr, orphee script and root to check the gps on it. So after i test drove it i wanted to go back to kk using ceeeuropean, and orphee combo.

I believe my mistake was rooting right after flashing the modified OTA.

After i rebooted , all i get is preflash validation failed for gpt.

The phone wont take any flash now of anything, always throwing partition name error and remote failure.

I have good battery and surprinsingly the phone is charging evenin fastboot. I can see the phone on wIN8.1 my device manager, but nothing will make it move . Tried house of moto, checked with Samu, tried flashing rogers 4.1.2, then rtfr in case that is the base . But no go. Also, it is showing BL locked code 0 AND OF COURSE my BL was unlocked. Weiiiird mess.

Any input is appreciated.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:
If I understand it correctly, while your phone booted fine the last time, it had the new FIDO 4.4.2 gpt and tz (flashed via OTA update when going from FIDO 4.1.2 to FIDO 4.4.2, but your gpt and tz actually going from CEE 4.4.2 to FIDO 4.4.2).

So the issue seems to be caused by the fact that your FIDO 4.4.2 gpt and tz has been "downgraded" to CEE (RTFR) 4.4.2 gpt and tz by OTA script.

So your problem could be possibly fixed by flashing gpt and tz extracted from FIDO 4.4.2 OTA, via fastboot.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbenz2008:
yes being on fido 4.4.2, the second step was going from it to CEE rtfr 4..1.2, and i flashed Orphee modified zip as i have it on my SD. Then the prob occured. Anything i try to flash it doesnt take. do i extract the gpt and tz and falsh with fastboot? I have the OTA posted by our fellow here.

i will try once i locate the cmd.

I see tz.mbn and gpt.bin

would that be it?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbenz2008:

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabaldan:

as i have a glitchy volume up, i can not easily boot to recovery when i flash it. Any cmd that works?

but it never works for me.

Also if you dont mind please, why is it when i flash a cmw recovery after say jelly bean , i am able to boot into it. But if i upgrade to KK, my device refuse to boot into recovery? some new security in protecting the recovery file?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i read this thread after i replied to the other one, glad you got it fixed.

im surprised fastboot worked. through helping to fix this error many times, i know it usually required Mfastboot to fix, thats why i made the special tool just to fix gpt errors.

i never had much luck booting into recovery with fastboot, so i just go with adb to do it "adb reboot recovery".
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrax:
Hi guys!

I think I have maybe the same problem as you.

I can't flash the partition_signed of an official ROM(says invalid GPT) so I wonder how did you extract the gpt for flashing it?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbenz2008:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahul9five:
A few of us are facing problems with the "error" message at installation when trying to upgrade to lollipop.

This is primarily because the system was earlier rooted and we changed a/few system files. For example tweaked the mixer_path.xml to increase or/and in my case remove the camera sound file from system/media to remove sound effect on clicking photo

The solution lies in undoing what you did or going clean. Factory reset wont help btw.

Cheers!

Yesterday, FedEx delivered my ATT Nexus 6. Knowing there would be some tweaking involved, the XDA Forums have been a TREMENDOUS help to me navigate through it all. Another kudos to Wugfresh Nexus Kit for the tools to make it happen.

After setting up my phone yesterday, I decided today was the wipe and do it MY way.

Using WUGfresh Nexus ToolKit (a must have for Windows and Nexus Owners), I downloaded the N6 image from Google and did a stock refresh. Then, I unlocked it and rooted it and added the TWRP custom recovery. TWRP is the best IMO. No ATT bloatware was added.

Secondly, after root, I went into ES File explorer and renamed the bootanimation.zip file. The ringtones, I kept because I like. <runs for cover>

I did read that ATT was recalling the initial batch of N6's because of software issues. My phone restarted once yesterday by itself but it came back on. I'm hopeful after the wipe and swipe, I'm free and clear of the issues.

Thanks again. I'm a big fan of helping those who help you by helping others. :D

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

I got the terrible error "mounting cache failed" blabla and my Nexus 5 was dead. I tried with all ways I could find: fastbook flash cache cache.img; flashing factory image; LG Flashtool and TOT flashing, etc. All did not work.

But finally I found out the reason and made my Nexus 5 back to work.

The reason is simple: my cache partition should be EXT2 (or EXT4) but for some reason its type is unknown. That caused the mounting failed.

You could check your partition tables like:

adb shell parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

Keep an eye on your cache partition (27) type. Bingo, you can fix it if its type is blank!!

Fix the type (in the shell):

1) boot into recovery mode

1.1) adb shell

1.2) mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

1.3) exit

2) boot into Fastboot

Flash the factory image (flash-all.sh) is the simplest way to make sure all works. Or simply flash the cache.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

Reboot and you will see your Nexus 5 is back.

Good luck.

5.1 OTA Update Screwed My Nexus 5

Hi Yu,

I have the same problem as you mention above, occured after i had the office 5.1 OTA update 3 days back.

After updating, i was able to play with my phone for a while.. The next day, it was in a boot loop state with the "Google" image on my device.

I am able to ADB into my phone, and adb devices returns me my deviceId and sideload.

But when i attempt this command "adb shell" i get "error: closed".. Been searching the net to find out how to open this so i can do the fix, but none so far....

Any idea how to sort this out? Many thanks in advance.

p/s: my device is stock STOCK... non-unlock and non-rooted.

Cheers,

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhudachang:
I would suggest you do a "flash-all" to your device.

1) Download the factory image ("hammerhead-lmy47i") from https: // developers.google.com /android/nexus/images

2) Boot your device into bootloader mode and run "flash-all.sh" to flash the 5.1 factory rom. It should fix all your errors.

Good luck.

Yu
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
Keep in mind that STOCK recovery does NOT let you connect to normal ADB, a custom recovery does. Also, you need to be root to 'mkfs.ext2', and the target partition must not be mounted, I believe.

Before attempting the steps [MENTION=5614032]zhudachang[/MENTION] posted below, i.e. To flash a factory image, you need to unlock your bootloader.

Two things:

I don't know how to enable the custom reboot menu in order for it to appear when long pressing the power button, I can only access it as an app.

The one most annoying thing to me with this tablet on KitKat is the excessive overheating on the rear right when accessing some files (not necessarily graphics intensive gaming). Previously I've greenified/frozen index services and search with good results. Which apps/services (that cannot be deselected with aroma) would you consider recommending to freeze or greenify to improve performance and decrease unnecesary heating and thus increasing battery life?
