[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
Flash-all can be used to automate the process of flashing a factory image, but OP is having issues with OTA.

Read this thread's first post to know how you can upgrade to 5.1.

I think you can flash the ota update file (once it downloaded, it should be somewhere in your device - EDIT: zagorteney posted the exact location below, /cache) with TWRP, like you would a normal custom rom, and TWRP will output more information about why the OTA isn't applying.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
[MENTION=3160070]beekay201[/MENTION]

You are wright. I've thought that OP just want to update to 5.1 anyway. Update.zip is located in /cache.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ki77erB:
I had the same issue, then when I made the decision to use the flash-all script, I got another error about missing the system.img when it was in the same folder as everything else. I ended flashing all the files manually.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
It's common problem with flashing 5.1.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda6969:
I think I'm going to do the flash-all.bat. I've done that before and since I can save my app data by omitting -w then this method should be fine. I am going to make sure I have the latest adb and fastboot first so hopefully I don't get the common missing system.img error. Once I do this, will it correct the install-recovery.sh file so I can take future OTAs again? Also, the -w retains all app settings and data right?....it just doesn't preserve the internal SD card data?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
As I know, you shouldn't be rooted or make any other modifications with system to get OTA.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda6969:
That's correct. I am no longer rooted and I haven't modified any system files intentally. Somehow, just booting into TWRP made a change to that file. I never had this issue when I was using CR.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
Yep; SuperSU for example modifies /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (or /system/bin/install-recovery.sh) and a couple more files.

Never heard of TWRP modifying /system on its own.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda6969:
Ahh...I did install SuperSU to unroot. But I also installed it on a N10 to unroot it and it took the OTA without a hitch.

I did the flash-all.bat after removing the -w. Everything went fine. I hope the install-recovery.sh file was corrected. Thanks all for the help!

Just wish I knew which adapter worked. I would get the nex4100, but having an Appradio 2 already and was planning on using ARLiberator or unchained, it would keep me from spending $600. At this point I guess I have to return my phone. Drastic I know, but my radio is useless without a phone.

Samsung phones will generally only work with Samsung brand MHL adapters.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockandawe:
I've read multiple sources on the web that it is true that he S6 doesn't support MHL. I'll verify this later today. While this isn't a big deal at home because you can use chromecast ...etc, , it is in my car. I've always displayed my Phone's (androids and IOS) on my car stereo, for gps or waze purposes (just some examples). Anyone else use MHL? kinda bummed about sammy taking away that functionality.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nothingshocking:
I got it to work with my AppRadio using Chromecast. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it did work for me. I just would rather use a hardwire connection. If Chromecast had not worked I would have returned the phone. Lack of MHL was a deal breaker for me, but Chromecast works really good for this device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockandawe:
I have a Kenwood, Guess I could put a chromecast dongle on. I prefer the hardwire connection. How stable is your video connection to your head unit?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nothingshocking:
With Chromecast it is flawless, with any other Miracast adapter it is horrible. The only hard part (not hard, time consuming) is setting up the Chromecast to work with tethering off of your phone. The rest works just the same as an mhl adapter.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I was not seeing any OTA updates (hoping for a Lollipop update), decided to try LG PC Suite. Oddly, this said a 20c update was available to my 20b ROM (stock 4.4 international I believe).

I tried backing up in the suite first but that failed. So I just manually backed up what I needed.

I then did the update, the phone completed, then PC Suite completed, the phone rebooted but stuck at the LG logo.

Download mode will not work

recovery mode will not work

Fastboot is the only menu I can get up.

I 've tried following numerous threads, including one to get the mini sdk on here, but the link for the mini sdk is broken. But I've downloaded various ADBs and fastboot, but fastboot will not recognise my D802. I installed a driver that did appear to load all drivers, but still in device manager on W7, my phone is listed as Android Device under "other", so something isn't loading correctly. Yes, I've restarted laptop, rebooted with cable in, cable out. into and out of fastboot, but still nothing.

So I am completely bolloxed at this stage, stuck with a phone that appears to only be an advertising screen for LG, and nothing more.

What else can I try? I don't have TWRP as it was bone stock.

I have emailed LG UK asking WTF they intend on doing about it. I used an update provided through their software in good faith, I don't expect it to totally **** up my phone in the process.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Hi,

Has anyone purchased one of the HTC 8525 OEM housings from cnn.cn. If so what was the quality like and are they new housings? None of the re-branded TyTn's seem to use this housing so I'm wondering if they are manufacured specifically for, or by, cnn.cn?

Also, what are the service and delivery charges like from cnn.cn.

Judging by it's looks, it only works with Hern100 devices (8525, m3100, etc) and wont work with the TyTN. (herm200)

I could be wrong though.

The D-Pad layout is a bit different, but if you get the D-Pad

http://cnn.cn/shop/cingular-8525htc-hermes-outside-keypad-p-1610.html

and what goes under the D-Pad, you might be able to get it to work.

But that's kind of not worth the effort though.

I am yet to find a stylish housing for my tytn. It's all scratched out but I hate that Dopod housing.

Since there is no flipping way, HTC is going to make the original housing available to anyone, it would have been nice if someone came out with a more stylish design.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ericc191:
I'd love to pick up an all black housing like that but it has one thing that keeps me from doing it.. the front facing camera hole. since i have an 8525.. it would just be an open hole on the front of my phone which would look dumb and get lots of dust inside.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....PageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015#ebayphotohosting

Its the closest one ive seen to mine but branded CHT DOPOD

Ive seen people ask htc to replace it but had no sucess. Its really annoying considering we all dont keep the phones forever and selling them off is harder when you cant get the original housing replaced.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] killershot20:
that black htc housing DOES have the video button but the layout is different than the herm200.

the red hangup button and the green phone button are not on the right place on that case.

I have taken my tytn apart. What goes under the D-Pad in herme200 looks different than the ones in herm100. Even if you did get that case and the right d-pad, your buttons wont fall on the right spot. therefore the phone button and the hangup button wont work.

I wonder if HTC repair center would replace the housing.

[Nexus 5 General] rabaker07:
All I know is that the wugfresh nexus root toolkit is the way to go. I discovered that windows application early on in my Nexus 5 ownership and haven't looked back. Sure, back in the day I would SDK and ADB and root and rom when it was cool and almost mandatory to bring in the cutting edge features on my incredible and galaxy nexus but there's just no need for it anymore with Lollipop having all the must-haves. And with the toolkit all I did was fire it up and the app put my N5 to sleep, poured it some warm milk, and rubbed its belly until it purred. 5 minutes later I'm up from 5.01 to 5.1 and I still have root, TWRP, and didn't even have to lose my ex-girlfriends phone number with a wipe. It even pre-downloaded 5.1 for me and checked md5. I really can't say enough good things about how painfree it is. Essentially 1 click.

If no-wipe turns out to be crap, I'll just click the OTHER button and be good to go. Thanks WUG!! You ROCK!

Probably some people are like me and prefer doing it the tough way by flashing files manually, instead of using a tool kit. :)
[Nexus 5 General] zerosum0:
Wugfreshes toolkit is the best. As you probably know most of the senior pple discuss and ridicule toolkits. I've never had trouble with his.

ADB is hassle if you are new. We all know driver issues. Thats a nightmare b4 you even start. I've since learnt ADB commands but still would only use it as a last stop. It was the toolkit that found and loaded the driver allowing ADB.

To be honest I think, subconsciously, ADB users see them selves as superior to the rest of us.

I'm happy with the years Rug fresh has been there for me. The tool updates automatically.

But seriously:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

boot into custom recovery

flash SuperSU/other stuff if desired

isn't that hard.

Driver issues? If you had driver issues your toolkit wouldn't work either. All it does is literally the above—if that is so hard, then maybe you shouldn't modify your device.

Also, ADB ≠ fastboot, they are separate binaries and have a completely different purpose.
[Nexus 5 General] zagorteney:

Was using Wug's Toolkit for a long time. But I don't prefere anymore that app itself take so much space and not necessary files on my PC. So this is much better solution: [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273

To be honest. Yes, there are people that feel superior at XDA. But hey, they have reasons.

Problem is, that if you got a bootloop or something like that, its very hard to help people, because they actually don't know what they were doing with their phones before that happened. And if they are also yellers then we got to much threads here like "OMG, please help. :crying:"

:cool:
[Nexus 5 General] zerosum0:
I got the drivers on my computer with the kit,after trying everything. That did it in seconds. I do take notice and have written all the commands needed should something go wrong and no toolkit.

A lot of people just are not computer literate.

If push comes to shove I could do it that way but say I want to flash a factory image. The toolkit fetches it, after sorting out the connection between phone and computer. It then flashes it, with a step by step account. Quick and simple. I've never had trouble with it. Toolkits have come along way and I guess there are bad ones out there. Horses for courses. And if someone screws up with a toolkit OR ADB. They should eat humble pie before asking for help.

I'm having issue getting Android Auto to play nicely with the S6. Using the Nexus 5 had no problem at all, but the S6 edge loads AA on the Pioneer 4100nex, then defaults to a black screen with white text stating for me to check my phone when in a safe moment. This is after the initial setup having me to accept all the terms of maps, bluetooth, play music and the like. So I know the phone and the headunit are recognizing each other.

No matter which ROM I try with a clean install playing any audio whether it be from YouTube or Music the volume goes down then back up. What is causing this? This stays after reboots.
