well actually android lollipop is the thing i need the most in a smartphone. multi-user is the reason I bought this phone right now, I have a band and I use instagram / twitter / facebook / all things that doesn't have multi-user support like google apps, so the only way I can manage everything is with android lollipop.

I had a galaxy s4 with cyanogen lollipop, but phone just fried so I went to the store and bought the best phone I could pay that had guaranteed lollipop upgrade, and when i got home bam, no upgrade. that's a bummer.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fael097:
I was actually expecting a way to force upgrade since it's been out for a while, and I'm not very patient, not good with waiting for something that has not a defined time to get done you know? been waiting forever to get it on my s4, and it never came, had to do a manual install. My phones don't usually last longer than a year or two, so I can't afford to wait another six months for it unfortunately
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
It won't be six months. You're looking at a few weeks, max. You could look into side loading or flashing a ROM, though I'm not sure what is compatible with your model and what isn't.

I found an OTA download wich supposedly would force update my phone to download the official release, let's give it a shot
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I think you're misinterpreting what you found. If it's the actual OTA zip, the file itself will update your phone to the official release... that's called sideloading. Nothing can force your phone to download the OTA if it's not already available. That's entirely up to Motorola or your carrier. And if it is available, you'd be able to get it by checking for it in settings. Post the link to what you found and I'll check it out.

I personally have no issues with it, never encountered the memory leak issue. I was a bit peeved at first they removed the silent mode but once I worked out how to use the priorities for alerts I was fine. Now I just wish they'd roll out lollipop for my Samsung Tab S.
[Nook Touch General] Aqq123:
I've been playing with my NST trying to set up an SD card filesystem that can work either as a regular memory card or as Clockwork recovery, depending on whether certain boot files are present in the root directory.

I flashed the 2GB Clockwork recovery image onto the SD card and renamed the file u-boot.bin to u-boot.bin.disabled, the working hypothesis being that this would make the Nook skip trying to boot from the SD card, and it would then proceed to boot from the internal memory as if the SD card was not present.

What seems to have happened instead is that the Nook booted from the SD card anyway but due to the renamed file, the boot process was interrupted very early on. Then, it wouldn't power off or restart itself, remaining in this "frozen" state forever (or possibly as long as the battery would have lasted, I waited about 30 mins). Most funnily, the power button also doesn't seem to work at all in such a situation: I tried the usual hold/release tricks to no avail. The screen wasn't updated at any stage and kept showing what was on it immediately before I powered it off the previous time.

I thought that cutting off the power would be a good way out of this predicament. Fortunately, it's not that difficult to get under the hood: the power button easily goes off and underneath there is a single screw (apparently a Torx T5 but in a true emergency a Swiss Army knife works just as well to remove it). And as soon as it's gone, the case easily separates in two, exposing the battery connector, which I unplugged, and immediately plugged back in. Up to this point, nothing changed on the display but just briefly pressing the power button was all it took for the Nook to power on as if nothing happened.

I haven't seen this unbricking method confirmed as working anywhere before, only found some older threads where it unfortunately didn't do the trick for some people. Granted, this wasn't a "true" brick situation, as I wasn't flashing anything into the internal memory. Actually, it's somehow surprising that such a minor issue as a misplaced file on a bootable SD card could have such grave consequences. It's kind of like the renaming of an obscure font file lead Windows to mysteriously freeze during startup with no explanation (older versions, perhaps fixed by now).

Anyway, the disassembly is straightforward, and well-documented here, although a warranty seal will get broken in the process. And, as an aside, perhaps I should've tried renaming mlo instead, which is an earlier-stage bootloader that then executes u-boot.bin, as it's all explained in the Texas Instruments wiki.

TL;DR: Before writing off your Nook as bricked you can try the battery trick, maybe it works for you too.

Update: Dual-purpose SD card for recovery & regular use

Just to give an update about the dual-purpose SD card solution:

It appears that the presence of the file mlo is indeed what makes the SD card bootable, and renaming it will skip the SD boot without any side effects. Here's the whole setup:

Start with a 2GB Micro SD card. Everything on it will be deleted. Plug it into your computer. Let's assume it shows up under the letter N:.

Unzip sd_2gb_clockwork-rc2.zip and flash the 2gb_clockwork-rc2.img from this post. I used DiskImage 1.6 for this. Make sure you select the correct drive from the pull-down list. By default, C: is selected; you don't want to do that.

Make all the boot files invisible in Windows Explorer, mainly for the aesthetics of it plus some additional protection against one of them accidentally being removed (see above for what it can lead to). Press [Win]+[R], type: cmd, [Enter] or in Windows 8 press [Win]+[X], [C] for the command prompt:

N:
attrib +h +s *.*

Put the two very similar batch files in the root directory of the SD card (N:\ in the example) (also downloadable as attachments below), recovery-

on

.bat:

@echo off
if exist mlo goto end
attrib -s -h mlo.disabled
ren mlo.disabled mlo
attrib +h +s mlo
:end

And recovery-

off

.bat:

@echo off
if exist mlo.disabled goto end
attrib -s -h mlo
ren mlo mlo.disabled
attrib +h +s mlo.disabled
:end

Now, if you want to use the recovery mode, run the former batch script when the card is plugged into your computer. To disable the recovery at boot and just use the card for storage, run the latter.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yes, mlo is the x-loader.

The ROM boot code searches partition 1 on applicable devices for a file named "mlo".

I looked into this once and was thinking that it also had to be the first file, but mlo does not have to be the first.

Original images from B&N have all the files in the 1st partition all jumbled.

You could also do this same thing as a hardware hack.

Put a switch on the right bootloader config pin and you could control whether the SD card is scanned in the boot process.

I had mapped out all the bootloader pins but I'd have to go and look again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mishkap:
Hi,

it is the second time my Gnex went into endless reboot loop sessions.

It will boot, load crash after few seconds and reboot again.

I had it unlocked in the store i bought it, and had stock rom (Not sure about the version).

Tried to do factory reset from fastboot, from recovery, and from android. Also tried to flash custom boot loader, Nothing works.

Although fastboot writes it successfuly completed the action so does the factory reset. The phone will work for few seconds but no more.

Also tried using WugFresh, for factory reset and for Flash Stock + unroot in soft-break status

I have no ideas what to do next,

Please help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AvidPhisherman:
Hi Mike, I think more information is required.

- What action did you take immediately prior to having your phone get stuck in the bootloop? Were you trying to install a Custom Recovery or ROM?

- You mention that this is the second time this has happened. Do you know what caused it to bootloop the first time, and if yes what fixed it?

- When your Gnex is in Fastboot/Bootloader mode, and using a tool like Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer, does the tool recognize the Device ID after using the fastboot devices command?

You may also want to read through this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mishkap:
Hi thanks for the reply, i am a simple user, prior to the bootloop i was using whatsapp, actually the android crashes few seconds after getting a whatsaap message (i recieve notification and it goes down). Previous time also i didn't do anything special. i never installed custom recovery or roms... previous time it was fixed by a lab the phone was on warranty.

And yes the tool recognize the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AvidPhisherman:
So your device receives a WhatsApp message/notification, restarts, and then gets stuck in a bootloop?

That is very strange, as personally I've only ever encountered bootloops after bad ROM flashes (usually after I accidentally skipped a step somewhere during the process). Bootloops usually don't happen to regular users who are just using their phone purchased as-is from a store/carrier.

If you can get it to boot back into Android, try uninstalling WhatsApp and see if that helps. Hopefully it's still under warranty, as you may have to take it back to the store and have them look at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mishkap:
Tried to uninstall whatsapp but it crashes before i manage to do so.

even managed to access memory via TWRP and delete whatsaap manually but somehow it appears again after restart.

Something is terribly wrong

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mishkap:
Thanks beekay201,

As a matter a fact. shortly before you posted this answer i gave up and gave my phone to a local lab.

But unfortunately they were useless and didn't manage to do anything claiming they don't have spares for my phone, tried to explain that it is not a hardware issue, but all in vain .

Anyway, ill go over your instructions and ill update the results soon.

Before I start the Google lockscreen shortcut to camera is a 'dirty' fix using Tasker.

First things first let's get Google Lockscreen working.

(1) Install Root Explorer or similar

(2) Navigate to /system/priv-app

(3) Locate HtcLockScreen.apk

(4) Rename it to HtcLockScreen.apk.bak

(5) Reboot

Getting the lockscreen camera shortcut icon.

(1) That's easy install Google camera.

(2) Reboot

Linking lockscreen to Sense camera. This is where Tasker (or similar) comes in.

(1) Create a new Task called 'Camera'

(2) Add action App-Launch App

(3) Select Sense camera

(4) Finish Task

(5) Now create a Profile called 'Camera'

(6) Choose Application as the trigger

(7) Select Google camera

(8) Finish Profile

(9) Link 'Camera' Profile to 'Camera' Task

Now when you swipe left from Google lockscreen HTC camera will be launched. Here's a screen recording of this in action.

Trying to understand the mechanics behind this a little bit before attempting. In essence, by renaming the HTCLockscreen.apk prevents the device from loading up the Sense lockscreen, and by installing Google Camera, that would render the AOSP lockscreen? I'm on a ROM that doesn't include the SetupWizard so I can't replicate the older method of running the SetupWizard after renaming to get the AOSP lockscreen.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] mitchst2:
I don't understand what you are asking. All this does is enable AOSP lockscreen and open Sense camera instead when Google camera is opened. Not sure how this would impact Setup?

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] J_awn:
I've tried using the old method of getting AOSP on KitKat and below, which involves renaming the HTCLockscreen.apk, then rebooting. Afterwards, you'd need to ADB and run the Google Setup Wizard to get the AOSP lockscreen working. I've tried just renaming it and with and without Lockscreen turned on, double tap to wake gives me a haptic vibration like it normally would, but it gives me a pitch black screen. If I press the sleep/power button, it would bring me straight to my homescreen/current screen.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] hyes93214:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stormran:
My wife's Nexus 5 had recently stopped notifying her of Hangouts Messages and GMail messages. I have tried numerous things including complete wipe of data/cache and install of factory image 5.0.1 (LRX22C). Even after wipe and installation of the factory image using fastboot/adb, the phone still does not notify. Hangouts will notify when SMS messages come in, but actual Hangouts messages do not notify. GMail notifies for emails coming in on an Exchange account, but actual GMail messages do not notify. What can I possibly do if full wipe and reload without any sort of backup does not fix the issue?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr4gnus:
Hi,

I have the Taiwan variant of the HTC One M8.

I was running Android 4.4.4 with an unlocked bootloader unlocked via HTCDEV. There were no other modifications.

Today I updated to Android 5.0 through OTA and it went smoothly.

After that I installed TWRP via Fastboot, and tried installed SuperSu through that.

SuperSU installed but would not get root access. I mistakenly wiped via the Fastboot menu after that. The phone will not boot into the Android system anymore.

I installed TWRP again via Fastboot but am unsure how to proceed.

I can't find the appropriate files for my model.

modelid: 0P6B11000

cidnum: HTC__621

S-On

Bootloader Unlocked.

The only Nandroid Backup I found with my cidnim was 2.22.709.4 - TWRP.

Would it be okay to restore to this, or what should I do now?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

STOP! If you attempt to flash to a lower boot loader you will brick. That was a huge problem when KK first came out. Folks didn't like it and tried downgrading and bricked. If you Odin flash a ROM tar file, you flash the boot loader. If you are on Lollipop, you are on Android 5.0, and that's the boot loader you're stuck with.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topnomi:
My wife's Nexus 5 seems to have self-destructed...

I will randomly reboot, even in recovery & bootloader. then just cycle for a while, constantly showing the google screen, then black, then google again. Sometimes it'll boot, but then reboot within a few minutes and it all starts again.

The device is just out of warranty.

This started randomly, not after flashing a rom or anything. at first, it seemed like a rom issue, it was only rebooting every few hours, and hadn't in recovery or bootloader. So i rebooted in recovery and reflashed the same rom (Mahdi kitkat final). As soon as it finished flashing, it rebooted on it's own. The issue has gotten much worse now. It won't stay in fastboot for more than 1 second, and it won't boot into recovery (both via holding down buttons).

I think the phone's probably dead, and I've ordered a oneplus one for me (wife will get my hand-me-down nexus 5. Domino effect!). Does anyone have any ideas? or think they can fix it? i'll send it to you.

Thanks for reading!
