[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
Hey there, guys and gals,

I'm having a bit of an issue here, and it's somewhat serious.

The issue is as follows. I have Android 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5. When I connect my computer to my laptop... nothing.

Nothing at all. It doesn't show up in device manager, not even as unknown. Fastboot doesn't detect it, nor does ADB. I can't do anything, and it's scaring me. I don't know how I could have broken it, but I need to know how to fix it.

I'm happy to do whatever to get it working, so please help...

Update: Tried to factory reset, to see if it would fix the issue. It's stuck "Erasing...", and won't go further. I'm afraid my phone may be hard-bricked... Is it possible to reflash these using JTAG, and if so is there anyone that can assist with that process?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreIrawan97:
Is it stock or what? are you rooted?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
Also , keep in mind that the factory reset can take up to 30 minutes.

IMO it sounds like a busted cable/usb port on either side / incorrect drivers.

Edit : JTAG is not possible on our devices , access is locked from the chipset itself.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
Are u on Windows 8.1 if so I had a problem with Windows thinking that my phone was a acer and I had to go the driver settings and manually tell it that it was a ADB USB connection then it would connect fine also could be USB cable I found the nexus 5 to be very picky about cables
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alxhn:
Sometimes I get that but it solves by going into dev and checking and unchecking usb debugg, but sounds more like a busted usb plug
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
Have you considered that you may be using incorrect drivers on your PC? This issue can be caused by having improperly installed drivers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
Right. I'll address you all at once for ease.

Firstly, the USB connector functions fine. My USB-OTG cable still allows me to access files on a flash drive.

Secondly, drivers can't be an issue in this case. It won't even enumerate the device in device manager. As if the phone simply isn't plugged in.

Thirdly, Win8 isn't the issue, as I"ve had this phone connected to this computer many, /many/ times.

So it must be a problem within Android 5.0.1

But here's the problem. In order to install anything else, I'd have to install a recovery. In order to that, I need root. In order to root, I need USB. I'm lost, guys...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
I just had an idea does towel root work on 5.0 if so u could try that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
Hmm... That might work. I'll take a look. But if it succeeds, then something gets broken later in the process, this thing is a paperweight, right?

Edit: According to http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...29-rooting-nexus-5-towelroot.html#post4125236 Towelroot will never be possible on Lollipop. I didn't go much further than that though...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
Ya I just read that to bummer :(

Edit: as of now there is no way to root without pc sounds like u may have some sort of hardware failure I'm guessing only way to fix is to send it in and that's 150 bucks min :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
Well... This happened when I updated via OTA (after reinstalling the stock recovery) to 5.0.1 after 5.0. I did this all over USB. Immediately thereafter, it quit. I got it to boot, btw. The erasing problem fixed itself, and it's now running, but the USB is still stuffed. This is sounding more like software than hardware. Almost as if whatever chip talks via USB lost it's own firmware somehow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
Cable or driver 95% sure. Did you try connecting it to a windows 7 /linux pc ? And ... u can never be sure but try connecting to a usb2.0 port. I had those issues when I accidentally plugged my cable in my frontal panel ( usb3.0)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Georg2808:
A few months ago I had the same problem, my phone got not recognized by adb or fastboot. I played around a whole day with drivers and stuff like that. At the end I found a post on the internet describing that not all USB cables are able to do adb connections and I should try the original USB cable that came with my Nexus 5. So I looked for that particular cable and hey presto it worked right away.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
And 2$ usb cables do break over time. They might still charge , but one cold solder joint and no connection :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
So you are correct. I didn't see that in your post, my bad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alxhn:
Have you tried with another cable maybe?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telyx:
Make sure you have either MTP or PTP checked in Settings/Storage/USB computer connection.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CypherX1389:
I've tried multiple cables. I KNOW that this cable is fine for ADB, because it works fine for my other devices. All of them. I may be marked a newbie on the forums, but I'm really not one. When I first signed up for this account I was, but that was in what... '07?

I've tried:

Drivers (Obviously won't work.)

Cables

Rebooting

Factory Reset

Different Computers

Linux

Windows

Switching USB connection modes

Toggling Dev Mode/Debugging on/off

Nothing works. It HAS to be a software issue on the phone. I don't think anyone read it, but it's almost as if the IC that handles USB connections has lost it's firmware. I don't think that can happen, honestly, so it must be whatever's in the ROM that TALKS to that IC that's causing the issue. Problem is, I don't know how to fix the ROM without USB connection and Fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Its unlikely that the ROM will be the cause if the USB port suddenly stops working.

Do you have a custom recovery?

If not, then not much you can do except send it in for repair/replacement.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] locutusx:
Hey folks,

The latest version of Google Maps has had an impact on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Basically, you need to set Location to "high accuracy" to get a location fix! Whereas before you could use "power saving" (use wi-fi only to find location) and Google Maps would provide a location fix.

This is really, really horrible. I am not going to turn on my GPS chip when my tablet spends its whole day inside my house. But I still would like a location fix to be provided to Google Maps so I can do things like, easily find directions from "current location" to somewhere else, etc.

There is already some people complaining about this issue on Google forum, please add to it to give this issue further attention:

[Samsung Gear S] WrlsFanatic:
I like a lot of things about the watch, but one thing that drives me nuts is the fact that I can't dismiss all notifications at once. Let's say in a working day I get 10 texts and 20 e-mails. I'm not actually reading most of those on the watch, I'm reading them in my browser or on my phone (and responding to the texts). But this stupid thing doesn't mark those as read. So instead, you have to go into each one individually, click a very tiny X, and then click "dismiss". (That should also be one motion BTW since this isn't my primary consumption device EVER so it won't hurt anything to dismiss on there.)

So does anyone know of a way to dismiss all notifications from one source - or all sources - from one place?
[Samsung Gear S] GeeZnU:
There is!!!! From the home screen swipe to the left to all your notifications (1st pic) pic then swipe down to reveal dismiss (2nd pic)all hope that helped
[Samsung Gear S] WrlsFanatic:
YES! THANK YOU! This makes the device WAY more usable to me. Wish I had found that weeks ago. I kind of wish you could tell it not to clear notifications on my phone as well as on the watch, but it's a small thing.
[Samsung Gear S] hallfleming:
Thank you! Make site you swipe down on the screen only, not above the screen down to go back.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripsphone:
I've been flashing phones since way back with the tmobile G1, but I just don't have the time to be constantly fiddling around with my phone. To that end, I want to update from 5.0 to stock but rooted 5.0.1 (or 2) but I don't want to have to do a full wipe. It takes forever to get everything back just the way I like it. Is it possible? I'm getting the stupid OTA update notification and its driving me crazy.

By the way I did search before I posted a new thread. Found lots that say you can't take the OTA but nothing specifically pointing me to a stock ROM that won't require a wipe.

Thanks for taking the time to help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Options are:

1) Download full factory image and remove the -w flag from the flash-all script (Will replace your recovery)

2) individually fastboot flash the system, boot and radio image using fastboot from above factory image

3) find a recovery flashable rom.zip if you have a custom recovery

If you want root, flash it from recovery before booting.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wadamean:
Which is better? In terms of speed, app launching, battery consumption overall.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] gordonzhao:
Stock launcher works fine for me, even though that wasn't one of your choices. I guess it comes down to what you're looking for; speed, the stock is plenty fast, app launching is really just shortcuts so all should be the same. If I had to choose it would be the stock or Google now launcher. Both are similar and speedy.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wadamean:
Your right it's all about preference. For me I use nova for its insane speed and low ram usage
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] krabman:
I wouldn't say its just shortcuts because how you lay the shortcuts out changes how you use the device and how you like to use the device changes how you lay out your shortcuts. This is not the same thing and an important distinction because you cant always do what you want and this is where the launcher matters... Some give you options others do not which can allow you to set up a device more to your preference. Outside of the traditional launcher scheme used by Nova, Apex and many others you can also use contextual launchers like Aviate or launchers that are just plain different like Action 2 which step outside the box.

IMO picking a launcher is highly subjective and they really need to be taken for good test drive.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wadamean:
Your very right! I have literally used every single launcher out there that's in the top 10 best ones. My top 3 is nova, action launcher 3, and cm launcher
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] johnbravado:
I checked out the action launcher 3 it was pretty awesome I want to check it out more. I have used and can't finding something as good as apex myself. But that advanced seems pretty neat doesn't do much but it does what I need
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
There is a launcher called dodol launcher that is slowly growing on me .. If I ever man up and pay for nova launcher I think it'd be the obvious choice.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cadenmiller60:
Nova is the best. Worth the money.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] JasonJoel:
Nova, by far.

I can't believe I second guessed myself and was tempted to trade it in for a Sony Z3v. My iPhone 6 suddenly feels like a piece of under-powered crap although I love the fingerprint scanner, end to end facetime security and essentially iMessage. If only the Droid Ultra had a fingerprint scanner too, OMG I think I would faint. So now I have two of the three phones I want most (iPhone 6 and Droid Ultra), I really wanted a OnePlus One to use for everyday stuff as to not put the Droid Turbo at too much risk but that logic goes out the window when I found out I can replace the phone for up to two years if the screen breaks. My last droid was dropped multiple times and the screen integrity only failed after my German Sheppard puppy at the time chewed on the phone until there was a tiny little crack and the next time it hit the ground the screen shattered, so I'm confident trust that I probably wont need a replacement or even a cheap backup android like the OnePlus One. I just felt the need to share my joy with my favorite community to geek out over phones with OMG OMG OMG okay Im done for now. But I'm in loooooove, it feels so good in your hands, until it gets too hot, but that's okay, it just means my sweetheart is working her little tail off. Okkay now this is getting creepy. I thought I would be exchanging this phone in a week for something "thinner" but I think I made a good choice. Is there anyone out there who actually regrets getting the Droid Turbo and if so why?

Okay I am not sure what's happening in your OP... You know u have a droid turbo but want a Droid Ultra to have a fingerprint scanner? :P
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] daweim0:
I somehow came to the conclusion that it could be rooted before I got it (not sure how), and so I almost returned it when I figure out that I couldn't. I'm glad I didn't though. The thing is an absolute beast, and it isn't like Verizon has other rootable phones anyways.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Exactly. The only solution is to dump Verizon and go to a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-mobile and get the Moto Maxx (XT1225) which is the "international" version of the 64GB ballistic Droid Turbo (XT1254). Same hardware specs, but the Moto Maxx has unlockable bootloader which allows root, TWRP recovery, SuperSu, Xposed framework, Gravity Box, etc. Has 3 of 4 AT&T LTE bands (2, 4, 17), while the Droid Turbo has only two (2, 4) --and the same two T-mobile bands (2, 4).

But the main advantage is the root stuff. ;)

Unless you live in an area that absolutely needs Verizon -- in which case you have to settle for Droid Turbo which has unlockable bootloader.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kenshincbb:
Completely regret getting the turbo.

Besides no root/BL unlock it just ran sluggish at times for me and the chrome paint around the edges started to chip after only a month of having it.

Horrible speakers and mic. Can't hear people talk and they couldn't hear me at times.

Sold it in a hurry and got a real phone.

maybe you may try to charge battery in another charmer. When I bought my one, directly after unpacking the box, it wasnť able to start. I was angry, but then ve have tried to charge the battery in my friend's charmer and it worked (the battery was not completely discharged, but maybe some electronics inside was somehow blocked)

otherwise, you can try to diagnose electric circuits inside - but do it carefully, you may easily damage it!

help me please.
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] hanmin:
use official t-mobile rom (in t mobile official page, difficult to find, get the link from the XDA-Wiki).

1. put your charmer into the 3 colour screen mode

2. kill your activesync in your PC (or just disable USB link)

3. run the EXE of the offical ROM

Do it before your battery went dead.
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] After9:
But my pda just shows for 3 seconds the 3 color screen, perhaps my batery went down..

if i conect with the power cable i can go to the 3 color screen, but how can i put the original rom?

the mda must be syncronize with activesync? if i take off power cable e shut down, with the power cable on, if i try a normal start is allways restarting...

ideas?
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] dave106:
try leaving it off with the battery in and plugged in for about an hour to see if you can get a charge, otherwise use another battery that is fully charged. Only other way is to use a SD backup which you can then install with the power cable plugged in.

also you do not need an activesync link to install ruu rom packages. also long as your in bootloader with usb showing in the corner, the ruu will be able to find it.
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] After9:
i'm using another charge battery 100% but in the 3 color screen is allways rebooting, so i can connect the usb cable.

Can i connect directly to pins where battery connects?

can i install in bootloader from sd card?
[MDA Compact II Software Upgrading] After9:
