[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resident0915:
I installed the M preview and just wanted to report my experience. At first, the flashable zip would not flash, saying that my bootloader wasn't the correct version, ending with H. So I flashed the correct bootloader but then still got the same error, this time saying that my bootloader was too new, now ending with a K, even though it reported correctly, ending with H, when booting into the bootloader!

So I went in via fastboot and ran the script provided by Google in the preview download. It flashed successfully and rebooted but wouldn't get past the loading part with the colors flying around. I waited twice for at least twenty minutes.

Finally, I extracted the zip in the Google package, manually erased each part (image, cache, etc) using fastboot commands, and then flashed each part individually using fastboot.

Success! Hope it helps someone else if they're having issues and I hope to get to my ten posts soon!

PS. The only app incompatibility that I've experienced is WeChat won't even load.

Root access on android m?

Has anyone tried the root access on android M ? Pls let us know here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8bithooker:
Google Now Cards Broken?

Hey, so I installed M the other day and had a few issues and as this is my daily driver I needed to revert to 5.1.1 stock.

When I had M installed I was not able to enable Google Now/Now Cards, I kept getting a error;

Network error. Check you network connections and try again

I'm now having the same issue on 5.1.1

Now I can say with 99% certainty that there is no network issue with my phone, both data and wifi work fine. I have searched for almost 2 days now and I cant find an answer. I am able to find PLENTY of solutions for enabling Now if its nto available in certain countries, I'm in Canada and its worked for a while now.

Currently I am running stock 5.1.1 rooted but I have tried 100% bone stock just in case it was something I was installing/doing.

Is anyone else having this issue? Have you been able to fix it?

One fix I found and it DID work for about 20 minutes was as follows

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP

Download an old version of the Google App (Google Search i believe its called)

Use Titanium to backup the Google App and Google Now Launcher

Use Titanium to uninstall both the above apps

Install the old Google Search app

Activate Google Now/Now Cards

Update the apps after you verify Now Cards are working

This did work for me for about 20 minutes but when I restarted my phone, I'm back to not being able to enable Google Now/Now Cards.

Any help would just be dandy.

Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JorgeRamirez_P:
Multirom uses a system partition to install a rom from scratch, you can only use from the others roms, your files, so you can only (until chainfire release an supersu stsble version and titanium works fine) download all the apps from the playstore, but if the app uses a obb or data files, you only need to download the app or install the apk because it uses the same files. For this reason i only use Android M to test apps and the internal rom for daily usage.

ah thank you

so basicly even if titanium back up/root was working id still need 2 lots of apps

i was just worried about storage space as im on 16gb n5

when M becomes more stable is it possible to make it my primary rom and delete the old one(lollipop)?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JorgeRamirez_P:
Yes, you can swap the roms in MultiROM options from recovery (screenshots below), also can install the zip in the internal rom or install the factory image with the SDK (deleting the userdata.img from image.zip in the .tgz to keep all your files).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JorgeRamirez_P:
The simple solution

If you don't like to wait until someone release a flashable zip and you know how to install a factory image with the SDK but you want to keep all your files and apps, here is the solution:

Extract the .tgz file with Winrar, then extract or open the file "image-***-***.zip" and delete "userdata.img" and compress the file again if you unzipped the file.

Now you can install the image factory keeping all your data.

Nexus 5 on Android M not recognized for me either.

I have Windows 8.1 64-bit. I did a clean install and set up as a NEW phone. Nexus Root Toolkit recognizes it, and I can transfer photos (PTP). The transfer files (MTP) does not work. I also want to transfer my music back on the phone.

My WiFi kept dropping with any Android 5.0+ version I tried, and I wanted to see if this would fix it. Version 5.0+ did seem to fix some other issues and have some features that make it easier for me to use including the colorful OS.

Android M is working better than the released version of Android 5.0+ as my daily driver. I wish I could get my music back on this. I have a slow internet connection, but I have seen someone mention Airdroid as an alternative until this driver issue is resolved.

16 Gb instead of 32 Gb after flashing stock Google Image

Hi All,

I've read a lot of questions about it in the "Android M" post that I cannot directly reply due to the fact i never wrote on the forum.

The thing is easy, when flashing "Userdata" of google stock images, it changes your partition to a 16Gb one since the stock images are made on 16Gb model, the smallest one.

You have two solutions:

1) don't flash userdata partition, and simply use "wipe data" of your recovery. This is the option I use since

a. I can avoid flashing the stock recovery

b. I can avoid deleting my files.

2) flash it, and do a factory reset USING THE STOCK RECOVERY. The TWRP will not resize your partition back to original size. This will completely wipe your device (either the pictures and music and everything will be wiped out).

Have fun!

Here is what I did to copy music and files back for now...

I already use Microsoft OneDrive and had my music copied to it. I downloaded and installed FX Explorer from Google Play to my phone and created a folder called "Music", which if you were able to pull them up on the computer would show in the same place your folder "Download" would. I basically just downloaded the music or .mp3 files from OneDrive app to my new folder I had created on my phone. When I played the music from the folder the phone put them, the phone recognized it. However, it seemed to recognize music from that folder on its own. Since I have a slow connection, it is a long process, but I think once M is released publicly, my computer will recognize the phone again. I hope to be able to transfer files like I always have on the computer, but this is a nice alternative. I hope that helps a little.

This finally worked...

At some point, I must have told my Windows 8.1 "Take no action" when my Nexus usb device was plugged in.

You may be able to fix this by going into:

Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.

In the list next to the device or type of media, click the new action you want to use for your Nexus device. "Open folder to view files (File Explorer)" is what you are wanting.

You may be able to get that prompt by toggling back and forth between the PTP USB and MTP option.

I hope that helps.

Flash the recovery, boot, system, and vendor images (vendor only applies to the Nexus 9):
