I am having trouble rerooting. I did a total wipe and did flash-all.bat command. I haven't been able to get root to work yet. So far I have flashed the latest TWRP using fastboot and every time I try to reboot into recovery I get to the TWRP splash screen but that's as far as I have gotten. It will load for about 5 seconds until it almost shows the button options then reboots. I have tried extracting the boot.img from codeblue's kernel thinking the enforcing kernel was causing the problem but that didn't work either. I assume if I could make it to recovery I will be good to go if I can manage to flash 2.39 SuperSU in recovery. If anyone has has any luck let me know I would appreciate it.
[Nexus 5 General] tom1807:
Welcome to the club.

Same issue, can't get into TWRP.

Installed TWRP 2.8.1.0, but can't get more far than the password input which tells me every time, password wrong.

TWRP 2.8.2.0 shows the start screen and then the mobile reboots.

Only difference, I flashed manually with fastboot command, but even after doing all the steps again, still no TWRP and no root.
[Nexus 5 General] vegas217:
Looks like clockworkmod works so far for me. I was able to flash SuperSU and it booted. I will check back in a sec.
[Nexus 5 General] ANDROIDRAZRM:
Guys, the problems with TWRP 2.8.2.0 have been thoroughly espoused. And 2.8.1.0 doesn't work with LP encryption--just look at the changelogs.
[Nexus 5 General] vegas217:
OH yeah. Clockworkmod works great. Give it a go. Kind of sucks because I was going to go multirom. I am going to try multirom anyways ;) I will check back soon to pass on any information I compile.

EDIT: Looks like MultiROM went smooth also. Running MultiROM recovery now after it installed everything. Happy flashing kiddos.
[Nexus 5 General] tom1807:
So 2.8.2.0 worked fine in Lollipop 5.0 but can't work anymore in Lollipop 5.0.1.

The issue is known, but no update yet.

This is pretty much a bummer

Edit: Installed CWM 6.0.4.5, root access restored

[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
I didn't even notice that! :D
[Nexus 5 General] t0p8uzz:
You wont lose anything if you sideload the OTA with NRT, I did it last night fine. I dont think you can put TWRP back on 5.0.1 though (pending an update) so you may have to use another custom recovery if you need it

It's not just you, generic sluggishness is gone. Phone used to think for a while when opening apps, or doing pretty much anything (switching between apps, selecting anything), but not anymore. Used stock 5.0, now stock 5.0.1 via OTA sideload. In case no one else had that slowness on 5.0, it must be the cache clearing I did after 5.0.1 update.

So guys just to make sure. I am on stock 5.0 rooted with CF-AutoRoot, no custom recovery.

If i just remove the "-w" from flash-all.sh it wont wipe my data, but root is lost right? -> is the bootloader closed after this? If it is, i will lose my data flashing CF-AutoRoot right?

Or i can use adb sideload the ota.zip without losing my data right? -> same question, is the bootloader cloased after this?

Thanks so far.

Hello

First post.. please be nice.

I'm running Android 5 rooted, with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and I've editted my buildProp to change the screen density.

Would I be right in thinking I can fastboot flash the radio, bootloader, system and boot to upgrade to 5.0.1 ?

Then via TWRP flash SuperSU 2.37 back to get root ?

is this right and would I lose any data doing this ?

Flash-all is reportedly not working. You will need to extract and flash the individual images one by one (skip the userdata.img - else you will lose data). Read method 2 in first post at http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

Root will be lost.

Bootloader is not locked by flashing OTA file or by flashing system images.

CF-AutoRoot does not cause data loss if your bootloader is already unlocked.

sigh.

If you don't know the answer to this you should read this thread in detail. It is identical for 5.0.x: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

download the package from google

unpack it, then also unpack the zip file within there. this will leave you with only IMG files. You will fastboot these.

move the IMG files to wherever you are used to keeping your zips and whatever else you flash with Fastboot or ABD

boot your phone to boot loader, open terminal, from terminal do the following commands.

fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/radio.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/system.img

fastboot flash userdata C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/userdata.img

(Note: this above command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)

fastboot flash boot C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/boot.img

fastboot flash recovery C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

Then you MUST boot into the (stock) recovery and hit factory reset.

reboot.

i do it this way EVERY TIME and i never have issues.
[Nexus 5 General] peach007:
i cannot get cell service. after trying flash-all.bat, i fastboot each file file manually, and i get stuck on activating cellular service. even if i skip, i cannot get it working through settings.
[Nexus 5 General] 33t:
did you follow the return to stock thread? i guess not.

you have to go into recovery and wipe all data / factory reset. it will work.

Anyone having battery drain, crashes, or issues that hasn't done a completely clean install is not allowed to ask questions. i could take a bloated nexus 4 and make it run faster than half of your dirty nexus 5's with 10 minutes of work. Just follow the clean fastboot instructions posted in the return to stock thread.

it's one of only TWO XDA threads i have book marked.

http://xdaforums.com/goog...image-t2513701

everyone should follow this to the last detail when flashing stock.

and you should flash the files IMG files individually.

rememeber to unpack the ZIP file too.

you don't flash the zip!! only the IMGS. unpack the zip to access the remaining IMGS!!!

Yes there is a bug.

It happened to me today 2 times.

[Nexus 5 General] signumized:
5.0.1 seems to bring the micro stutters (music buzzing) that are more often now than on 5.0. I had before a Nexus 4 and the stuttering was really bad. Had flashed the factory image of 5.0.1 and the stuttering is worse than ever. Went back and forth between 5.0 and 5.0.1 just to test behavior, but regarding this issue, 5.0.1 is much worse. Reverted back to 5.0 as it is more stable. And kernel build date, 20 October, really? (as there seemed to be slight changes between 5.0 and 5.0.1)
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
Or if someone is lazy, (or not so smart) they can use the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit. It does all the work for you. Thanks for setting these noobs straight. It gets annoying.

try closing that last app with the "x" in the upper right. solves the issue for me.

Newbie's question : do i download and install the ota 5.0.1 on rooted device with no risk ?
[Nexus 5 General] peach007:
i'm flashing all the files from the lrx22c factory image.

i have no baseband or IMEI anymore. i tried erasing cache and everything. i tried to go back to 5.0 as well and still back to no service,baseband,imei.
[Nexus 5 General] 33t:
did you really unzip the ZIP file to access the remaining IMGs? i'm sorry to ask the same question again.

here every "tip" i can think of:

1. you first unzip the TGZ file to reveal few scripts, two IMGs (bootloader and radio), and a zip.

2. you then unzip the ZIP file and you'll have seven IMGs, plus a hand full of junk.

3. move the TGZ file to some safe place and move the IMGs to the directory that contains your fast boot stuff.

4. throw every other file aways (the TXT, BAT and SH files).

5. flash the IMGs as directed in the thread i posted. Note that you don't flash the cache IMG... you "erase" the partition. scroll down the embedded fast boot text on the thread i posted. It's hidden at the bottom.
[Nexus 5 General] peach007:
yes, i unzipped every file into platform-tools. i was able to get 5.0 working originally the same way. it happened once i tried to get 5,0,1 and now anything i do wont get me baseband, imei and cell service to activate.

i tried flashing cwm recovery and flashing custom rom. no good either
[Nexus 5 General] chrisleeuk:
I noticed that on 5.0, on my device if you turned the flash light on it would sometimes randomly turn off. Then if you tried to turn it back on it wouldn't work. I opened the camera app to see if the flashlight would work, but the camera would not start. Not noticed it on 5.0.1 so far.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

No more risk than any other OTA update. You will typically loose Root after the update, but then the same applies to flashing the factory image.
[Nexus 5 General] 33t:
sorry i wish i could help but it's pretty difficult from a distance.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

the most "blanket" help i can suggest other than "return to stock" is to try flashing something like this from sidled with CWM recovery.

[Nexus 5 General] ballmead:
No issues at all running the flash-all.bat script.

5.0.1 installed perfectly, time to play around with it now.
[Nexus 5 General] aspico:
Download full size 5.0.1, you have the link in the first post:

You will need to extract all the files in the .zip file (extracted from the tgz/tar file). The file name probably begins with “image.” There should be a bunch of .img files. On top of this, you already have bootloader and radio .img files in the same directory. Just make sure all the .img files (from the update.zip) and the ones that were already extracted are in the same directory as ADB and fastboot. Now you are going to flash each .img file separately…..

Note: If you don’t have either one of the bootloader or radio .img files, don’t worry, not all devices need them

**You must go in this exact order

1) type fastboot flash bootloader [name of your file].img

2) type fastboot flash radio [name of your file].img

3) type fastboot reboot-bootloader

4) type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

5) type fastboot flash boot boot.img

6) type fastboot flash system system.img

maybe you will get an error at system.img, just let everything like it is, restart your computer and do the fastboot flash system system.img,

after that you will lose recovery and root, root and recovery like you did before. just dont flash userdata or you will wipe everything.

I had a similar problem when i flashed the 5.0 factory image after already running 5.0. The problem was being caused by trying to restore my backup from 5.0. When i told it to restore from my 4.4.4 backup the problem was solved.

It would appear the problem is still there in 5.0.1.

[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
Since side loading the OTA I have had issues using the Nexus wireless charger. Two nights in a row after putting the phone on the charger and hearing the audible beep and seeing the charge notification the phone was not charged overnight.

I took it off this morning and repositioned it and it appeared to start charging but I did not leave it on there long enough to do a real test.

Prior to the update I never had this issue unless really put the phone in the wrong place on the charger.

I have the Nokia charger at work and placing the phone on there since the update has been fine, just the official Nexus charger is giving me issues.
