sorry i was just following your directions to the letter, i really need to get this phone working again

thanks ach2, my problem is that it won't turn on. so none of those fixes in the wiki can help me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JasenR:
You didn't spell "bricked" right in your post, did you spell it right in your search? I know it returns results because it is the title of a sticky thread that readers see every time log in in to XDA Developers!

And yes, there are others who have done flashing without researching first and they also ended up with a phone that won't turn on.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
I hope some of the "bricked hermes" links help.

I don't even think you need to drop it in the toilet if you can't get it fixed. Just take it to the shop and tell them it stopped working. Just tell them "I have no idea what happened. It just wouldn't turn on this morning?"

And when they ask about "flashing" or "upgrading" or whatever, just act like you have no idea what they are talking about. Remember, most people are completely clueless.

Good luck with rescuing your Hermes. You may find THIS LINK helpful.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asian4ce:
I spelled it like that because thats what mxlaser told me to search for in his first post.

he edited his post and then i searched for bricked hermes which gave me more results.

just to clear that up, thanks JasenR

Will your phone go into bootloader mode?

I see the file has been "removed by uploader" from rapidshare. Must have been someones idea of a joke.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asian4ce:
maybe they realised it was causing problems. if its a joke its not funny.

it was probably mxlaser so he could then flame people whos phones dont work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ach2:
If the phone won't turn on at all this sounds more like a hardware error. Try taking out the battery for a couple of hours to allow the electronics to discharge. Maybe also try the phone with power supply connected but the battery out (I get a red light at top right of my phone with battery out, and the light is orange when battery is in and power is connected). This may prove that some of the power circuits are ok.

If this doesn't help, you need to wait until someone more knowledgeable comes along - or start making up good excuses for your boss...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JasenR:
..."it was probably mxlaser so he could then flame people whos phones dont work"

I doubt that very much, but you haven't answered my question...will your phone go into bootloader mode?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asian4ce:
JasenR my phone doesn't turn on,

how do i get it into bootloader mode without power? do i need it to be connected through USB to my pc, or is there a specail button combination?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JasenR:
Oh my. you haven't even read the owners manual :confused:

Hold the power button (on the right) the OK button (on the left) and use the stylus to press the soft reset (on the bottom) all at the same time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asian4ce:
JasenR

IT WONT TURN ON, so i cant get it into the bootloader. can someone explain it to JasenR, because my english is bad so he might not understand me
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] OwnedMyself:
Don't know how it happened,really don't have a clue.

Phone connects as Zeus Flash Device and I also can't get it into recovery.I turn it on,nothing.Plug it in the PC ,gives the sound like I plugged in a USB not the phone! The phone itself looks dead.I turn it on, nothing.No led,No vibrations.Tried hard reset,PC Companion While Flashtool was closed And Same way around.Nothing works! Went to a "person who fixes them" and they say they Can't do anything(And I think he has no idea what's he even doing whatsoever) .

Help.What to do !? Ps,thank everybody for my knowledge! Will try my best to boost up your visitors ! :) Just help! :(

I'm really excited about 5.1 version, hope it will be something like Android 4.1 - much better Android 4.0.

That was ICS to JB this is still lollipop, i dont know if that makes a difference though.
[Nexus 5 General] pr0ndigy:
Besides bug fixes and minor tweaks, i don't foresee anything that Android could come out with that would blow my mind.

I'll be happy with some RAM/Battery management, but I doubt it comes too soon since we haven't got 5.0.2 yet.

[Nexus 5 General] Pezmet:
The release date for the factory images for the other devices except nexus 6 could be 1 week or even 2 after. I really want to believe that all the rumors are true and it will release this week. No major differences should be noticed in 5.1, just some little improvements, but hey bug fixes are always nice.
[Nexus 5 General] Konstigt:
If you are badly affected by the memory leak, which my wife's phone is is, you will very much notice the difference (we hope).. she has to restart it every day / every other day.

For me it's not that bad, "only" have to restart my device once a week.

[Nexus 5 General] Pezmet:
About the new security feature, If the nexus 5 sill get it or even the other devices 6 and 9 what. The one that forces the user to enter the google accout in a remotely locked device even after a factory reset.

What would stop me from unlocking the boot loader and reflashing the factory image. That should reset the device pretty nicely if I do say so my self. Most probably they thought of that already since they offer this info on their site.

If there is no workaround to this, this may be the best security feature that would hope to get since no profit would ever come from stealing a nexus device, except for parts makejng the effort close to 0.
[Nexus 5 General] Bl4ckX:
There is one thing that you didn't take into account: your typical pocket thief probably has not a single clue what unlocking a bootloader and flashing a factory image is. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Pezmet:
Unfortunately I think most of them know since it comes with the trade, and I really think that cloneing imeis are up there ally also :)) hope that google thought at everyting.
[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
I'm blessing lord gaben and Larry Page if they fixed God damn memory leak in this update. I'm still on kitkat because of that :c
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
Yeah but still a lot of work is pending....

I would add this to improve security on Android devices, without affecting users:

- Prevent to turn off the phone / Switch to airplane mode / Or restart the phone from the lock screen. [At least to have some time to wipe all data o track the device (with non-easily-removable battery).]

- Enable Location from Android Device Manager when it is disabled (Many users skip Location on Android but wan't to find their device if lost).

- A password to enter the bootloader and use fastboot (Today is better to have it locked then the thieves are forced to wipe data using stock recovery).

- And disable the LG Download Mode.

of course we won't see this on our N5..but are good ideas for a future Nexus..
[Nexus 5 General] jlmcr87:
Mmmm it seems that you live in the lockscreen. Be careful, don´t unlock it, it´s dangerous to turn on the phone.:p

[Nexus 5 General] PetritH:
Is root working with latest supersu?

[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
I don't think memory leak can be visible in using an operating system for few mins. It's occurring by using it 24 hours or so. Someone must check full commit list if that's how you call it (I'm not Dev apologize if I it wrong)
[Nexus 5 General] haris163:
Just flashed too. How do you test for memory leaks? Anyway, I see that they did minor design motifications to the notifications settings: they added the exact time that the none or priority notifications expire but I don't see the silent mode.
[Nexus 5 General] Talminator:
I can put it through some pretty heavy multitasking (music, messaging, facebook official app) and see if it's killing processes after they've only been running a few minutes.

On 5.0.1 I could only really multitask between 2-3 apps before it would start closing them, and wouldn't get more than 10 minutes of music background playback before it got killed. So whilst I can't confirm it's 100% gone, I can get a pretty good idea if it's improved.
[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
Go to settings > apps then swipe right and take a screenshot and post it here
[Nexus 5 General] igordevezas:
can i use adb on this?

thx!
[Nexus 5 General] kinganu123:
Memory leak won't actually appear for 2-3 days. You'll have to wait a bit.
[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
Yeah but there must be list of commits Google did on this update and there should be something saying about this if it's fixed

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

Yeah that's how you install factory images normally (with adb and fastboot)

Just downloaded the 5.1. I'm rooted with 5.0.1 stock. What's the correct way to flash the new image? Thanks.:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] opssemnik:
just use the flash-all.bat if you are willing to loose all data

or (if you dont want to loose data)

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz12f.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.25.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot update image-hammerhead-lmy47d.zip

then you just flash custom recovery and root again

[Nexus 5 General] fkloznica:
Is the kernel version same or not ? Tnx
[Nexus 5 General] igordevezas:
little confuse.

i go right at cmd and type adb reboot recovery (when my device is on), so i got the no command screen.
[Nexus 5 General] slayer of worlds:
Considering it's a new android version would be better to do a clean wipe, so you should only backup /sdcard and use flash-all.bat, or $ source flash-all.sh if you're using linux
[Nexus 5 General] Talminator:
First things I've noticed, will update as I find more. I've put exclamation marks by the things everyone is probably most interested in:

!- Seems to be performing beautifully, though it'll take more time for me to see if this performance continues.

!- Not getting any homescreen redraws yet (which I always used to get) and I'm putting it through some pretty heavy multitasking right now.

!- Background apps seem to be staying open longer, though needs more time to confirm whether memory leak is fixed.

- Every tile in quick settings now animates as you toggle, and as expected you can change WiFi and Bluetooth devices from the quick settings menu.

- New contacts entry field is nice.

- Interruptions menu has had some much needed tweaking, with new "labels" for what the star, etc, actually mean (priority mode).

Edit 1:

!- Apps are launching very quickly. Not sure if this is to do with better memory management, but things always seemed to hang when I opened them on 5.0.1.

- New animations in clock app are a subtle but nice touch.

Edit 2:

!- If you're listening to music and change the volume, there's a little alarm icon next to the volume bar. Tapping on it takes you to notification volume instead of media volume. FINALLY it's possible to change notification volume whilst listening to media!

Edit 3:

- Heads up notifications can be dismissed by swiping up.

- Just rebooted, seemed much faster than before (<10 seconds).

Edit 4:

- Swiping away all apps no longer leads to system apps showing as cards (e.g. Android System) and just shows "No Recent Apps" as it should.

Edit 5:

- OK Google hotword detection seems much snappier, and the search app seems much much quicker at transcribing my text into the search field. Previously it would hang for a good few seconds after I finished speaking before any words would appear.

Edit 6:

!- After playing around a lot more with multitasking, I can confirm memory management has been MASSIVELY improved, it's like using a completely different device. Apps I had open 15 minutes ago snap open almost immediately and return me to exactly where I was previously in that app. We can actually multitask again, huzzah!

Edit 7:

!- Silent mode works in much the same way as it did in 5.0, except it's been improved IMO. Priority mode for only select notifications to get through, "None" mode for when you want the equivalent of silent mode. However, with "None" or "priority" selected you can now choose for that to be the case "until your next alarm". Means if you turn off notifications completely at night, you don't need to worry about your alarm not going off :)

!- Silent mode is back (sort of)! When "None" mode is enabled, your phone will not make a sound or vibrate, but the LED will still work. This is a much better implementation IMO, as before your LED did not flash either. Means "None" really is silent mode now - no sound or vibration, but LED informs you of notifications.
