[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you are 100% stock, you can:

- sideload OTA. No wipe

If you have a custom recovery you can

- flash a ROM.zip, without wipe

No matter what state you are:

- flash a factory image, with some modification to not wipe. This can be done by moving the -w from the flash script or individually flashing via fastboot, the system, boot, radio images. Though if you want ota in the future, you'll need to flash bootloader and recovery the same way.

Everything you need is in general > sticky roll-up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CODENEX:
I think the Section - B of the guide complies what you said.

Why is there three links, with warning (Original, may not flash for most people and full radio)?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
This is best explanation as you can get. But for newbies like me, there is also tool, named Wugfresh Root Toolkit. It does exactly what rootSU said above, but for ordinary users in more friendly way.

Regards, Zagor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
True but the problem there is that toolkits take away the learning curve for noobs. This means if something goes wrong using the toolkit of even later on, when we try to help, the noob doesnt understand the basic things we're saying.

Sure, it saves noobs time, but it wastes our time later when the noob needs our help (which is unfair and a bit selfish) So we strongly urge noobs to NOT use toolkits.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
It makes sense. But there is another truth, too. There aren't so many professionals like you with understanding android enviroment.

For example. I'm steel worker. I know how to weld. But also I know just few basic things about how welding machines works. I do not need exactly know how it works I just need to know how to adjust some of parameters to get better results. Because I have a good welding machine, it is almost impossible to go anything wrong. So for me good Toolkit is like good welding machine.

When I try to install SDK from Google and start with it I just give up after only 10 min. Toolkits works for me since X10. Of course there were many mistakes I've made (and probably will do), but I never bother people for such a situations like "I flash HTC Xspeed kernel on Samsung device - my gosh, please help". There are also unpredictable situations. I hate that with Titanium Backup and its /storage folder most. But the beauty of android system is that you can't do anything wrong. If you have somekind of backups you can allways start fresh. And that is the best school for everybody.

Regards, Zagor
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't need the SDK. Its worth reading the stickies. The problem is when someone uses a toolkit and doesn't know how to use fastboot and we have to explain everything to them whilst panicking. Its easier to learn fastboot first.

Of course you must feel free to use toolkits yourself but many of us will say what I have said today if you recommend it.

Fastboot is not knowing how it works. Fastboot is the same knowledge you have as your welding machine. Developing would be more than you know than your welding machine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djalouk:
Hello,

I've installed the 5.0.1 OTA directly from the phone, I forgot to flash the stock recovery before that so it failed.

In Settings > About Phone > System updates I have "Your system is up to date" but I still have Android version 5.0 and Build number LRX21O.

I've flashed the stock recovery and tried to manually flash the OTA file but the adb sideload is not working (List of attached devices is empty).

Is there any way to "force" the phone to see the system update again?

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Do you have adb setup on your pc? If not Google 15 second adb install xda. If you do your usb drivers aren't setup correctly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CODENEX:
That goes the only reason why I'm waiting for the expert's words for going further. Each time I try installing a rom/factory image, I usually forgot the adb and flashbat steps for the next of few days I come up with an OTA or might want to try out a ROM. But again it's just some minutes covering a few topics from the forum and I'm back in the saddle! And it's the noob factor for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djalouk:
Fastboot commands are working fine but not adb. I'll take a look, thanks for the tip.

In the meantime, the system update notification came back. I installed it with the stock recovery but it failed : "...basicdreams.apk contains unvalid content...". I think this is because after I installed the 5.0 factory image, I did some cleanup.

I'll try the adb sideload but I'm afraid the result will be the same. I guess I'm good to flash a new factory image.. Flashing the 5.0.1 factory image without wipe might be ok in my case.

Thank you for your help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Just flash the system, radio, and boot images from 5.0.1. Those are the only ones that have changed and you won't wipe the device
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djalouk:
Just so I know for next time. Let's say I do a clean flash of 5.0.1 + custom recovery + root.

Then I clean up all the GApps I'm using because they are installed as system apps. I install them from the Play Store so I can create a backup. This time I won't delete other things (like live wallpapers...), when I will receive the OTA for 5.0.2, if I flash the stock recovery, do you think the update will work?

Hi upon rooting my phone, i checked if my phone was deodexed but it isnt D:, i found .odex files in the sys/apps.

I tried searching and havent found anything on it, unless its hiding somewhere. Anyways how do i make my phone deodex?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mht220:
Hi, there are some strange problems on my device I'm listing them here, so if any one knows what's wrong and how to fix it please answer.

1. a few days ago i tied to flash the new radio rom 1.38.00.11 on my device so i put it manually in bootloader mode (my SPL is "1.10.Oli") and everything went without any error but afterward radio is still the old 1.16.00.00, then i flashed it using SSPL

2.I spotted "Hard-SPL-V2" and flashed it on my current "1.10.Oli" then no RUU managed to connet to this new "1.11.Oli" spl ,what a great way to BRICK your device, so flashed the previous version using SSPL

3.and the most strange thing my ExtROM seems to be locked and I cannot flash on it, no matter what I try it's not flashable, so when I want to flash a rom I have to extract it and make sure that the nbh file does not contian ExtRom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
in response to number 2. -

YOU HAVE TO FLASH USING THE NEW RUU WITH 1.11 YOU ****TARD, DON'T START TELLING PEOPLE IT BRICKS THEIR DEVICE.

in response to number 3. -

YOU NEED TO HAVE SUPERCID OR MY ExtROM PATCH TO WRITE IT.

if you avoid making libellous claims, in future I'll be more civil.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LegolasTheElf:
Oli,

I'm disappointed.. I'm not sure he's a ****TARD, I'm thinking he's more of a ****WIT! Do you think ****tard is a bit too nice for him?

Seriously, read the ****ing threads! All of Oli's stuff works perfectly. YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT DOESN'T WORK AROUND HERE!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
do you think if I'm intolerant and crass appropriately, eventually the idiots will go away?

seriously though, it's quite a piss off when you go to the effort of doing something, and some little ****BAG starts slagging you off in a thread because they didn't read the ****ing instructions properly
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Oli, i think i speak for everyone when I say I cannot wait for your next version of HardSPL, especially with the breakthroughs you've made in the last few days ;)

Gotta LOL at the OP in this thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
ah, you're Mr Vanx... I didn't notice before... can I please give you a massive thanks for the tutorials that you wrote that some other guy is linking to, thanks for making the effort to do that, you should advertise them more
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mht220:
I'm truly sorry,no offences was meant, as you see in title there something wrong with my device and I wannted to know why can't I use it on my device, and also I tried to flash using RUU came with the hard-spl-v2.

again I sorry, I've read the Threads and know how great your Hard-SPL is
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sergiopi:
Sorry man, wrong answer AGAIN :)

I THINK I have? Supercid isn't an OPINION, is a clear evidence. You HAVE or you HAVEN't, "I THINK I have" means they were right assessing...

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/****tard

Check your CID with the MTTY method, may be you applied the supercid patch without success...

I'm from Italy and I learn a LOT of english words here too :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mht220:
WELL!OK! I have Supercid, double checked using MTTY, "I THINK I have" was just a manner of speaking.

I don't have access to this url
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
you probably don't want to either, encyclopedia dramatica is crap.

anyway, here's what you need to do;

flash 1.13 to your phone, from here on in, you must use CustomRUU (download it from the thread) to flash stuff to your phone; just drop an NBH in with CustomRUU and run it and pick your SPL, easy.

Hello XDA

I have been using help of XDA for a long time. It is a good source of help and information.

Lately I bought an HTC M8 for my daughter and I found that it requires bootloader unlocking plus some stuff that I find hard compared my Samsung phone.

May I suggest if XDA can create a sheet for all phones especially the new ones where they mention whether bootloader is locked and the difficulty of rooting and installing recovery and new Roms.

Had I known this about the M8, I would have simply bought a Samsung.

Thanks
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

I suggest a lot of research before buying next time... And you'd have known this up front. Especially with new devices now, as many carriers are locking down their phones more and more.... And with it getting more difficult to Root with newer Android releases. Many new Samsung models can't even currently be rooted. Not so for the M8.

As far as a unified list goes.... That would be a major undertaking... No one would do this unless they wanted to. Perhaps you could take on this project and contribute to your fellow members with such a list?

Do some research and you'll find you can do far more with an M8, modification wise, than most newer Samsung devices. ?

Here's the M8 section. The General and Q&A sections have many guides and tutorials, Usually at the top of the section, stickied. ?

MY REVIEW ON MOKEE OS.

I installed it cleanly.

it booted up fast. then stock google was force closing. I uninstalled it with titanium backup.

restored my backed up app data.

on dalvik, this is 40% faster than cm11 on art. I'm very glad. the scroll effect blows me away. I have never seen it before anywhere. the customisation is higher than cm11. app launch speed is so fast. battery life is superb. I have ZERO BUGS! GREAT WORK :)

Alright, I just clean-installed this ROM and it is mind blowing!

It is basically improvement over CM. But performance is better and has more features.

[General Topics] UltraWelfare:
Hello XDA Devs,

I am considering next to buy a tablet..

I am restricted to buy either the Tab 3 8.0 (Samsung) or the LG G Pad 8.0 LTE...

I've compared the two CPU's (Snapdragon vs Exynos) and I see Exynos is better but what about with the ram and the overall performance?

What about the software each of the device offers?

If you any of you had these devices I would be more than thankful if you could address some of the issues you had or tell me anything about the device..

I hope I didn't post this on a wrong forum :P

Thanks everyone :)
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
My personal advice regarding the 'Galaxy tab x' series when it comes to performance is very simple: DON'T.

The Tab 3 is a low-end device

Exynos is NEVER better. Always get a Snapdragon, if you can. The CPU in the Tab 3 is a Dualcore, as opposed to LG's Quadcore.

(I'm normally very positive about Samsung, but the Tab x series is absolute rubbish. The Tab Pro and Tab S series are the High-end line ups.)

I don't have personal experience with the Pad 8.0, only the 8.3. Just felt I should warn you about the Tab 3. I do own that one, it's slow as hell.
[General Topics] UltraWelfare:
Thank you...

I might go with the LG then :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manux2015:
Hi

I flashed roms before and have a bit of knowlege but it was a long time ago (Nexus one)....

I want to update my S3 a bit:

What i want:

- Internal and exterman encryption (i read TWRP is capable of this)

- Custom Recovery for flashing ROMS and other goodies (while encrypted)

- What ROMS do support encryption (internal and external?)

My first goal will be: Working custom recovery and encryption with stock (rooted). After that i will flash roms...

1. My idea is to flash custom recovery (TWRP) before i do the internal and external encryption (on stock). I will use Heimdall for flashing the img but i could also do it with adb or even play store app, what mehtod do you recommend ?

- Is this the right order ?

- Does TWRP handle internal/external encryption well for flashing zips etc ? after i encrypted everything ?

- Will I be able to flash roms while internal/external is encrypted ? (guess no?)

- Does the recovery work with encrypted sdcard ? Can i wipe etc with TWRP when the internal is encrypted ?

- Does the encrypted stock work with the TWRP (i guess they have no connection but better be sure :))

2. If everything works as i hope it does i want to use some Roms, unfortunatelly when i used to do this for the nexus one, every rom had stated what did not work on them. Now this seems not appropriate anymore and i have to ask.

- For the flashing of ROMS my idea of workflow is a s follows:

1. Facory restet in recovery (to get rid of encryption)

2. Wipe all caches etc

3. install custom Rom

4. Encrypt everything again

Does this sound good ?

However i think it is better to open a new thread about that cause its not so related to the recovery and encryption so much.

On a side note, from reading a lot it appears not many of you use encryption at all, why is that ? Any downsides ?

Thanks and have a nice week!
