Is there possibility to change smth in Windows 10 drivers that the power button will be also home button (as Xbox), and left, right select and start ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] BananasGoMoo:
Hey,

I just wanted to say thanks. This totally fixed the problem I was having. I also want to add that after I flashed the system.img, I was getting errors related to "EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" with a bunch of numbers after. I googled it and found I had to also flash boot.img, and after that, the OTA worked fine. I would assume if anyone else gets errors like this, they should flash whatever img it shows in the error (ie: mine said /by-name/boot so I flashed boot.img).

I've always been using a toolkit for my rooting purposes, I have done Full Unroot on SuperSU, but still getting an error when trying to update to 5.0.1

Will flashing stock wipe everything(whatsapp image, camera's,messages, etc etc)on my phone?
[Nexus 5 General] RunasSudo:
I also had problems using ‘Full Unroot’ in SuperSU. It's not actually as ‘full’ as it sounds.

Flashing a full factory image would normally wipe everything, but carefully following this guide will only reset the /system partition, not any user data.
[Nexus 5 General] Taiyo85:
I'd like to say thank you very much! I was looking for this kind of tutorial... I encountered an error while following all the steps because I forgot I had a custom kernel. So I wanted to add that if you have a custom kernel remember to do the same steps as described above for the kernel (return to stock) and then follow the system and recovery steps afterwards.

If you don't like running commands in terminal you can use Nexus Root Toolkit, on advanced, you have all the commands you need available.

Thank you very much RunasSudo
[Nexus 5 General] azlan96:
I have my ADB and Fastboot ok as confirmed by nexus root toolkit, but I am not sure on how to use terminal.. I launched command prompt but it doest recognise all the commands..

Tried Flash Stock + Unroot on Nexus Root Toolkit but the software will crash (fastboot.exe has stopped responding)

I am really clueless on what to do next..
[Nexus 5 General] Taiyo85:
Flash Stock + Unroot wipes everything and defeats the purpose of the tutorial made by RunasSudo

First and foremost you should download Android SDK (Tools only) on http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and then ask to install the extra: Google USB Driver.

With Nexus Root Toolkit you don't need terminal, click on advanced and you should see options to flash through fastboot the system only, recovery and kernel. It is pretty straighforward and it asks where the .img are in your computer :)
[Nexus 5 General] leajian:
Thanks! This guide worked. :)

For Ubuntu users, you need to install adb and fastboot with these commands :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools && sudo apt-get update (optional)

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
[Nexus 5 General] datcon:
Thanks for the great step by step.

As with some of the other posters, re-flashing system.img was not enough for me, I had to also re-flash the boot.img. Once that was done, I had no problems side loading the update and am now running LRX22C.

I only seem to fiddle with adb once a year - when it OTA time comes - and can never seem to remember some of the steps that need to be taken. Reading through some of the other threads, I have a feeling a lot of people who rooted/custom recovery and cant do the OTA are going to be doing complete image re-flashes when this guide makes that completely unecessary.

thanks again,

.d
[Nexus 5 General] RunasSudo:
Thanks for the feedback! I've added a note about boot.img to the OP.
[Nexus 5 General] texas_born:
+1 for flashing boot.img worked perfect after I did that.
[Nexus 5 General] tuncan:
I tried with this tutorial. I flashed system and recovery and then restart. Confirm OTA but I get ERROR.

Then I flashed boot as it was described. Now I don't get OTA :) In About phone, I'm still on 5.0.0, Check for updates now don't find update :)

Any idea?

UPDATE - UPDATE: After hour now it is here ... super, it works.
[Nexus 5 General] Fr0HiKE:
This walkthrough was most helpful! Ended up replacing the boot.img as well since I had ElementalX installed. My apps are optimizing as we speak. Thank you!
[Nexus 5 General] Paul22000:
Worked for me. What a hassle!

Here is a summary of the process for those looking for a less wordy procedure, with a few added steps:

Download Nexus 5 5.0 (LRX21O) file (note: NOT 5.0.1 yet) https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Unzip via 7-zip multiple times in order to get boot.img, recovery.img, system.img

Enable USB debugging: http://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode-on-android-5-lollipop.htm

Plug phone into PC > cmd prompt where adb is installed > type "adb devices" to ensure connection is valid (will need to authorize via popup on phone > then "adb devices" should return your device id and "device"; if it says "unauthorized" then look for the popup on your phone)

adb reboot bootloader

Put system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img in same folder as fastboot.exe

Run commands:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot erase cache (this is optional. I didn't have to do it, but you might)

Use Volume Up/Down to select Start > press Power Button to reboot

Update via Settings > About Phone > System Update

Re-flash TWRP recovery:

Get the file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57580889&postcount=1

[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
Maybe you could add `fastboot erase cache` as stepp 8.
[Nexus 5 General] Paul22000:
I added it to step 7, thanks. :good: I also cleaned up the formatting and added step 10 about re-flashing TWRP.
[Nexus 5 General] guangy:
Loading problem

I flashed system, recovery & boot images strictly following the instructions, restarted the phone. It got stuck in loading where balls in four colors keep running for half an hour:confused:. Shall I keep waiting? I think there must be something wrong. Your advises are welcome.
[Nexus 5 General] RunasSudo:
Try flash the partitions again. If it's still not working, you may need to reflash a factory image.
[Nexus 5 General] guangy:
I flashed the cache image as well, then the problem solved. Thanks:)
[Nexus 5 General] jelle2503:
Misleading title, you can't apply OTA with root and custom recovery..

Besides why go all through this hassle of restoring your /system and unroot, if you can just download the factory image, remove -w from the flash-all.bat, delete userdata.img from the zip and then proceed to use flash-all.bat. You can even remove recovery.img from the zip to keep your twrp. All what is left then is reflash chainfire su through recovery to get root back.

That's a lot less steps. Or are people really that excited to do more just to apply an OTA?
[Nexus 5 General] Your Pal Dave:
I also had to flash cache.img in order to quell the never-ending balls. Everything seems to be in order now.
[Nexus 5 General] ek69:
Exactly what I did and you're right, official ota can't be flashed with modified system files.

I think it's just the case of people not knowing wtf they are doing and being too used to one click toolkits that often mess stuff up more than help :) and not knowing what each file or command is

So for some reason my nexus 4 has lost all of it saved wifi locations. The weird thing is, is that it has happened before. I updated to 5.0.0, I started running into other issues then this happened as well. When I went to Cyanogen mod 11 it didn't show any locations available, but then when I went back and did a factory install of 5.0.1, the previously saved spots then showed up. Has anyone experienced anything like this and found a fix?

can anybody please help me regarding this issue that how could I flash custom recovery through fastboot.

Thanx.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWGSM3VO:
This is normal (sort of) for KKBL recoveries -- it's a screen dimming issue; if you're using PhilZ the "fix" is to use the following:

- middle of screen; swipe left-to-right twice

- middle of screen; swipe right-to-left twice

- push a volume up or down button

Screen should come alive.

This affected TWRP too but I don't use it so not sure if there's a similar workaround.

If you can boot to download mode do the Odin 4-file install here to get you back to stock NC2. After that root with towelroot, install SuperSU, busybox, and safestrap and you should be all set! Make sure to install busybox and safestrap from inside the actual apps too
[T-Mobile LG G3] DrPhill94:
Hey guys, fairly new user here. Prepare for rambling explanation, skip a paragraph if you don't care but the background info may be useful

Had some issues twice in the past 4 months, had to send in the phone and get a replacement (thank God for JUMP insurance) ; I used purpledrake to root my G3 shortly after it was released, it is my first Android device and I had a lot of experience with jailbreaking and unbricking iPhones so I thought I could handle it. After rooting I didn't go crazy, mostly cosmetic changes and preset apps like G3Tweakbox, I stopped google services from running because I couldn't find another way to get rid of the OTA notification. Less than a month after I did it, I was starting to have issues that I read were fixed by the OTA update, so I went online and found the process to unroot so I could update, then re-root once it was possible. Ended up getting stuck in the download mode screen and the phone wasn't even recognized by the LGFlashTool as being in DL mode. Spent a good 16 hours playing with it, gave up, hard factory reset and convinced T-Mobile that I'm a helpless college student and my phone broke. Got a new one, rooted and didn't bother. Now, stupidly, I assumed I had just made a silly mistake along the way and decided to try again o Monday, day before my birthday. Same thing happens. Send it in, got another today. I'm kinda frustrated because I really want to root it and get things looking the way I want to again, but I want to make sure I can unroot it properly if need be. I don't think I'd be interested in using custom roms just yet, maybe if I get an older device to play with and experiment. I just want root access for file management and minor visual/technical changes.

TL;DR

-Rooted using PurpleDrake : http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/root-twrp-root-twrp-tmo-lg-g3-t2821005

-Phone was having issues, wanted to unroot/restore/reroot, followed this to the letter : http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html

-Phone got stuck in DL mode. Sent it in, got another. I want to root again but not until someone can figure out what I did wrong or what went wrong and I know exactly what to do to be able to unroot properly.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
It could be your usb is disconnecting mid flash. Just to be safe you shouldn't use that pc for flashing tots or kdzs again. On the same note if you install TWRP you can use the linked guide to unroot/reinstall/downgrade/upgrade with root via twrp. Almost no risk of hard bricking if you used supplied files and guide. The only thing that could hard brick you in the twrp method is the rpm partition but that most likely wont happen, almost can't happen unless you loose battery power at the time it flashes the rpm partition. The tot and kdz method have about 20 partitions that could hard brick you. Http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667
[T-Mobile LG G3] DrPhill94:
Okay, thank you Page, I'll do some research with what you linked before I try anything again. Guess it would be a good idea to learn my way around the twrp, seems like the best custom recovery for the G3
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dyslexicfurby:
So after spending several days trying to get the Google Play Edition rom (HTC_One_M8_Lollipop_5.0.1LRX22C_CPTB.zip) onto my M8, I finally managed to do so. It boots fine, right into the rom. Except the rom crashes constantly. I can use the phone as normal, but the crashes seem to be random. I will be using the phone normally, the screen will shut off, and the phone will reboot.

I *think* it might have something to do with googleplay services but I am not sure. There are no error messages, no warnings, the phone just reboots randomly. It can even reboot while it's sitting on the desk with me not touching it at all. Is there some kind of log I can get more information from? How do I go about troubleshooting this?

I apologize for not having a lot of information but I don't have a lot to go on.

Do you have the 4.4.4 firmware? Is the rom specifically sprint compatible?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dyslexicfurby:
The rom was taken from a sprint thread, so I'm pretty certain it's compatible. How would I check the firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Either boot to the bootloader & list your radio version or look for your baseband info in the "About Phone" section of the settings menu. Your baseband & radio version will be the same.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dyslexicfurby:
Well this is strange. In About Phone, baseband info says "Unknown". However when I go to the bootloader, "Radio" says 1.21.213311491.A04G. I assume the "uknown" is a problem...if so, how do I fix it?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dyslexicfurby:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
What is the bootloader/knox status on brand new Galaxy S5's? Can I root/flash freely?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GastonC:
If TMO the bootloader is unlocked. You can downgrade to NE6 and towrlroot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
Depends on the exact model. AT&T (G900A) and Verizon's S5s have the bootloader locked, but T-Mobile's (G900T) is not at this point. With TMO's S5 you can root and even install some ROMs without tripping Knox if you are careful. But if you install a custom recovery then Knox will trip. Although some say tripping Knox is not a problem. I tripped it when I installed Phil's touch recovery and have flashed many ROMs with no issues. I'm currently using Omega Rom and have no issues at all. I'm using a G900T on AT&T. The G900T has all the same frequencies and LTE bands as the G900A, plus a few special ones for TMO, but most importantly, no locked bootloader.

I received the OTA for 5.0.1 last week and received an error. Is there a way for me to install the OTA without wiping my phone?

I've spent the last week looking over the forums and haven't found an answer. Any help will be appreciated as I really want to avoid wiping to get the update if possible. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Are you on stock recovery? I realize if you did the full conversion, it would have installed stock recovery. But just wanted to make sure you didn't flash a custom recovery after that.

Also, on the topic of wiping the phone, I would recommend backing up any important data in any case, if you don't already. There is never a guarantee against data loss even with an OTA; or just losing data from day to day usage for that matter.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamister989:
Yea, I'm on stock recovery still. I was hoping to be done with too much modding and wanted to stay completely stock after the conversion, with the exception of root.

I did use SDfix: Kitkat Writeable MicroSD which changes some system files so apps can write to the microSD, could this be my problem?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagoweb:
a recovery.log would be useful here to see where the ota fails.

pure guessing : I think if you've messed with the system partition (SDfix) it is likely what is causing your problem (infamous "unexpected content" error in recovery while installing ota).

what do you mean by 'how to the report?' ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If any system files have been altered by root, the OTA will fail. You either need to return the files to the exact "stock" condition, or re-install the stock ROM.

I had a failed attempt of OTA and it stated that my "platform.xml " was the reason.

Like [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] said only you you will have to rename the platform.xml to platform.bak and the platform.presdfix to platform.xml as it's the unmodified xml you need.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagoweb:
you can :

- reboot in recovery, try to apply ota, view the recovery.log in recovery menu, adb pull it and eventually post it....

- or assuming your issue is because of the modification of platform.xml as [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4425542]jball[/MENTION] stated, switch it with its backup (same dir) and then retry the ota.
