OK, so you have Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed, unlocking the bootloader is really simple (with a little knowledge about command prompts), so download these drivers you need to install when the good ol' "waiting for device" issue occurs (check device manager then, the HDX probably has a yellow exclamation mark there).

You must download the software and the Python script mentioned here, and then follow the path outlined there, or (after installation of the required software) also here. Basically you just need to open a couple of command prompts (DOS boxes), change dir to the adb directory (enter cd\adb - or cd\python27 to go to the Python directory), then get the ID and serial, use the Python script with them, and finally execute the fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader.

That's it - and it's a no brainer, you can't mess up anything, if the unlock code is incorrect, it just won't flash (well, you must enter the fastboot commands correctly of course). ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rootnooby:
Thanks. Running into an error creating the unlock file. I installed python, but I don't think i installed gmpy2-2.0.7-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl (md5) properly. The error I'm getting when I run the following command "python.exe cuberHDX.py 0xmmssssssss" "is "no module named gmpy2". I am using my correct code in the previous command. When I downloaded the gmpy2-2.0.7-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl (md5), I copied into the Python27 directory. Not sure if this is correct.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cl4ncy:
Try to use the exe installer for 2.0.6 from here. If it still fails, PM me your ID and serial, I'll create the .unlock file for you then.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rootnooby:
Thanks. It worked. I now have an unlock code. I'm not clear where my fastboot directory is? It says I need to "copy that file to your fastboot directory" before i run the commands. Would that just be the root of the kindle itself? Sorry for the question.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cl4ncy:
If you installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot, it's the adb directory (e.g. C:\adb), you should have fastboot.exe in there as well. Just copy/move the .unlock file in the adb directory, open two DOS boxes, enter cd\adb in both,

then enter adb reboot-bootloader in the first one,

and the fastboot commands

fastboot -i 0x1949 devices

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock 0xmmssssssss.unlock (mm=your ID, ssssssss=your serial)

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

in the second (again: if you see "waiting for device" on the fastboot prompt, install these drivers in device manager for the HDX (probably sitting there with a yellow exclamation mark).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rootnooby:
Wow. I think it all worked! Assuming that's it. I can go ahead and load ROMs!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cl4ncy:
If it looked like this, i.e. unlock code is correct, then yes. ;)

Enjoy your "free" HDX. :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rootnooby:
yes, it does look like that so I have unlocked successfully! I ran a backup using twrp, and that worked well. One problem I'm having now is that my computer doesn't seem to recognize the Kindle when connected via USB any more. I'm getting a message that says some candles are not compatible and a separate file needs to be downloaded. When I go to the Kindle support website, this is applicable for older systems running Windows XP. Have you seen this problem before? Now that I have a backup I want to move it over to my PC so I don't use all that storage.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cl4ncy:
Yes, it seems that the drivers required for fastboot cause such a problem, remove them in device manager (select to delete the driver files), then dis- and re-connect the HDX, so the original HDX drivers will be re-installed. Should do the trick in this case.

Touchscreen doing things on its own while battery is low

I have a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet (acclaim) 16GB that I have flashed the latest CM 11 stable snapshot onto using ClockworkMod 6.0.5.1. I flashed it by creating a bootable SD card with CWM as directed by the CM Wiki, booted into it, cleared cache and dalvik cache, then flashed the .zip from the SD card. I did not install GApps or anything else, so it is a clean install.

Everything works fine until the battery gets low (around 15%), that's when the trouble begins. The screen will begin to behave very strangely, it will randomly tap, scroll, open apps, type jibberish on the keyboard, etc. and won't allow me to do anything other than hit the lock button. Once I charge it back up the issue goes away. This is not a hardware issue, being as this issue does not occur on the stock Barnes & Noble software. I've searched Google, forums, etc. but I haven't found anyone else who is having the same issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2403:
Nexus 5 stuck on 'formatting /data' screen after factory image flashing

Sorry for the long post. I just want to ensure I am providing all relevant history.

I have a Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) 32gb device, stock with no rooting. I mean, I had never done anything special on it ever.

1. Recently I started getting Google Play Store related problems, first 194 error and then couple of days back 495 (I think). After trying switching on/off, clearing cache and some other similar ways to fix this, I decided to do a factory reset :crying:

2. I backed up all my data, and followed the documented steps for factory reset. The phone got stuck on 'erasing'. After waiting for over 24 hours, I finally figured out that this 'erasing' is not going to complete, ever.

3. So I again did some research and figured that I should do a fastboot recovery. Tried that with no difference. Recovery again took me to 'erasing' screen.

4. Some more research and then I decided to flash a factory image using ADB. I was (and still am) a complete newbie, so first I figured out what was ADB and how to get to it. After completing the installation, I found out Nexus 5 factory images. There was no mention of which ones to chose, so I just picked up the latest one.

This is what I really followed:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRp5jJO34PE

5. Having learnt my lessons, I read the flashing instructions many times and also watched some videos 3-4 times. Once I was confident that no more information was going to be had, and the phone was unlocked (fastboot oem unlock) I went ahead with the flashing. I did it step by step - bootloader, radio and they recovery image. The last one failed.

6. I did some more research and found a method which told me to unzip the last image and flash the component images one by one. I did. Success! However, the phone did not reboot by itself as the guide said it would. So I tried to boot it manually.

7. I did not get the dead android with red exclamation mark. Instead, I got an alive android with gears whirring on its tummy and back. Pressing power + vol-up button told me that this was the 'formatting /data' screen. I am unable to get past this screen. I am supposed to get to a screen where I can wipe data and cache etc. But I cannot get to it.

8. I have tried to wait it out (16 hours) and tried flashing the images again. Ultimately, I end up here.

9. I am unable to find any answers on what to do if stuck on this screen. So this is the end? Is my phone bricked? Is there anything else I can try? Will trying TWRP way help or is that just another way to same failure?

I would appreciate if there is anybody out there who can help me get my phone working again, or point me to a thread which helps me do it. Thanks!

Try flashing Android 4.4.4 and see if that will boot. If that does not work try installing a custom recovery like TWRP, and do the wipes from there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2403:
I doubt it. 12 more hours have passed with no change.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2403:
Thanks. I was thinking of trying TWRP anyway. I will try this today.

How does one select which image to flash? Is it always the latest one? In this case, how do I know which one is Android 4.4.4, and why are you recommending this specific one? I had purchased this phone in 2013 Feb (I think). So is there any specific image to be selected or the latest one is always to be picked?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2403:
UPDATE: Flashing 4.4.4. did not work. I again got the 'formatting /data' screen again instead of the phone booting up. However, the formatting screen with the android with diamond circling in the tummy also has a blue line below, possibly a progress bar. It is not growing though, just there... sizzling. Pressing power+vol-up buttons shows me that this is 'formatting /data' screen.

Will try custom recovery from TWRP now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt1515:
Reboot your phone into bootloader and download latest hammerhead 5.1.1 from Google. Extract everything and then extract the images. First use these commands

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

Then fastboot flash everything including bootloader.

Use this as a guide http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/

Then after finished reboot phone and leave it alone it will boot right up in 5-10 mins no need to go to recovery. In future don't format partitions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inimaitimepass:
try this: fastboot format cache
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom2403:
Sorry for the late update. I was traveling over the weekend.

Thank you so much! Your post solved my issue. I wish I had this advice earlier!

First time it did not work, with reboot leading to a blank screen. Next time I following the guide completely, following the order in which different images were flashed. The phone went into boot animation for 5.1.1 and finally booted up, with all 32gb storage available.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt1515:
Glad to hear you got it up and running! No problem at all feels great to bring something f'd back to life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmuml10:
I have same problem. I did everything that was written above but still my phone shows android with rotating cube on its tummy. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inimaitimepass:
Go into bootloader and format the cache: fastboot format cache
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmuml10:
I did that but nothing changed. Still shows android with rotating gears.

Does anyone know what does that animation mean ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inimaitimepass:
How long did you leave at that? Sometimes it may take long time depending upon the storage size of your phone. Usually between 20 to 40 mins.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmuml10:
I left it more than an hour.

Is it normal that my phone shows this Android animation after I flushed new factory image? Why is it trying to still "Format /data..." after new image flush?

Is there any other way to flush android factory image from scratch? I already used nexus root toolkit and fastboot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inimaitimepass:
I'm really sorry that you are stuck in this mess. It is normal but more than 1 hour is way too much. I'm not sure about the causes, but you can try two more things and see how it goes. One is to use flash-all.bat script. If that didn't work then you can flash a custom ROM like Chroma and then try flashing the stock ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmuml10:
Thanks for help.

I flashed philz_touch recovery. From there I did factory reset and after that I executed this commands:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash bootloader "name of bootloader"

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio "name of radio"

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot reboot

Now my phone works.:victory:

[LG G Flex] enginuity2:
For its time the Flex was a superb phone at a very good price. Plenty of ram, processing power, etc. It even had IR and a big colored led. How being much, much harder to break than a typical phone is anything but great is beyond me. So how the hell did we not get one single rom? I've seen dinky little $40/3.5in throwaway phones get at least one rom. What happened?
[LG G Flex] supasanch24:
I wonder this as well. The flex is still my wife's phone she absolutely loves it. When it's out of its case, people still comment on how beautiful a phone it is.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[LG G Flex] Alex_XV6700:
What happened was LG killed us Flex users by not unlocking the BL.

Also a devicetree couldnt be brought up so it was pretty difficult to get things working.

Bump helped us at least to have a recovery and I used playfulgods CM11 with working data but no sound or calls.

then I used MIUI too for LS996 working data and sound but BT and calls were a no go.

My sister has the phone now and she absolutely loves how fluid it is and that people amaze by its rare curved design.

LG killed this magnificent phone... if someone is to blame its them.
[LG G Flex] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
This is a plea for all developers to come help out. I've been knocking on every door that I know, everyone else do the same. Maybe someone will help out.

I actually like this phone more than my oneplus. Just from a durability standpoint. I get more comments on my flex than my one also.

Maybe we should start a "working cm Rom bounty" thread....

I definitely would be in for paying someone for there time.
[LG G Flex] vivebatu:
+1

Willing to contribute to the bounty.

This is a damn good phone
[LG G Flex] Wolfhawke:
Yup...LG's attitude towards the G Flex is why I left a rather scathing Facebook post promising NEVER to buy anything other than a Nexus phone.
[LG G Flex] Alex_XV6700:
Well actually I got GFlex2 and its an amazing phone. But it seems its going the same route as gflex1 cuz of the bl locked and no custom recovery/roms. But the thing is a beast, its a trully amazing fone.

I hope this one gets better stuff. At least a cm or aosp.
[LG G Flex] miediev:
I believe some of the Nexus phones are actually made by LG. :|
[LG G Flex] enginuity2:
One of the new Nexus 2015s is made by LG. The G4 Pro also looks pretty good hardware-wise, but if you can't unlock the damn bootloader then they're definitely out of the game.
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
There was alot of good devs that worked on this. There is a device tree hanging around. Thing to do is yell at LG for not rls the source nor unlocking the bootlaoder. Im sure playful,justin or dfuse would be glad to help if anyone started a promising project. We where testing behind close doors for awhile but bootloader and drivers was the main issue
[LG G Flex] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
I'm new, really new ...... But... What does it take to unlock the boot loader? If not a break in the software, time then? After a device ages, will LG release source and such?

Behind close doors? Does that mean someone is still working on CM for this but just not updating on XDA? Or doesn't want to update here?

Thanks for posting.
[LG G Flex] Gotroot:
No one is working on it as far as I know bump did a awesome job. But honestly every remarkable dev has tried. No disrepect to them or me lol. But the phone was forgot
[LG G Flex] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
I slightly felt like throwing my flex at some LG executives after I read that.
[LG G Flex] enginuity2:
What's in it for LG by not unlocking the bootloader? If that's what people want, why not give it to 'em?
[LG G Flex] sketch2k278:
I'll believe that when I see it, LG are notoriously know for it's false promises LG= Lies Good
[LG G Flex] Monster__Addict:
im so annoyed with them, thats why im switching to an iphone and moto X as my mains
[LG G Flex] JeffMD:
It isn't even from LG. The source of the info is super sketchy and I have high doubts we will see 6.0 as well. LG2/flex are kinda EOL now. In fact with the flex 2 being shoveled onto boost as well as being given away for new sprint plans, I wouldn't be surprised is Android 6 didn't happen.

Its d95920t 4.4.2 and it patches stagefright. Its worthless cause it still doesnt fix my signal dropping, the whole time on 4.2 i didnt have one signal loss, 4.4 up been nothing but drops, that update is worthless and youll lose root for sure.

And i got two back to back , one was 223 mb and the other was like 65mb.
[LG G Flex] XP_1:
I am desperately hoping they do not do the same thing to the V10. The hardware looks great and functional but if they do not support it, I am not sure if it would be worth the long term investment.
[LG G Flex] vivebatu:
I really feel v10 is another experiment for LG, like the G Flex and it won't be supported after maybe 1 Android version update atmost. Don't buy it if you are looking for updates for any length of time, no matter what the specs say. I really feel LG has let down a lot of people here, especially when G Flex specs still beat the crap out of other phones (4k video, USD 3.0 etc etc)
[LG G Flex] XP_1:
That is unfortunate. I guess I will wait and see what happens. I thought LG was going to work with devs making it possible for future phones to unlock the bootloader.

EDIT: I had read a document of phones listed that will potentially get the Marshmallow update. I saw that it comes in two waves of priority.

Same thing was said when lollipop came out, but G Flex never got any update. I hope I'm wrong this time
