Ubuntu Touch Test
1.Download base zip http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Infuse4G/Ubuntu/infuse4g_ubuntu.zip
2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it
3. Reboot to recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap file first the infuse_ubuntu zip then reboot recovery may do it itself
4. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged
5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features.
if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy
To update partially go to terminal on your phone and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
the password is phablet
I am working on porting the flipped version which has more features

Yeah, my phone got soft bricked after flashing the base zip. Darn, I was excited...I guess I'll Odin it back when I have the time.

What do you mean what did it do ?
Please explain did it reboot etc ?

I did the wipes and partition formats like you instructed from CWM (version 6.1 I think, can't check ATM). I flashed the first zip and it aborted and said please flash again to confirm. I did, a status bar appeared then it rebooted to the white Samsung logo boot screen and sat there for a good thirty minutes before I got fed up and pulled the battery. Now when I boot I get the black screen with the Samsung logo and I can't boot into recovery anymore so I'll have to plug it up to Odin and repartition. I left it at home though so its gonna be a while.

You guys can flash recovery? If so try a newer recovery like scotts newest 4.2.2 builds because I am using his source idk if it will have any effects but i did read about his partition change and if you're using that version of cwm thats pretty old
The galaxysmtd isnt much different from this phone same partitions so I used their ubuntu guide

Having the same problem here and I have the newest recovery

Not yet I need one of these to test on . I am working on getting Ubuntu touch not preview working on my phone I talked to Scott about the error with the build since our devices both will fail since the file is exactly the same.

I really wish I could help, I would offer you the one I have but USB data doesn't work (you know if it gets soft bricked then there is no fixing it) so for that reason I don't believe it would be a prime candidate, you sometimes can get these freedom eBay at a really good price as long as you can deal with not having something work, or if you post a thread asking to borrow someone device for a while that seems to have worked pretty well in the past here

I would be interested in helping test this as well. I'm not super experienced, but I have been flashing roms on my infuse for a while(not my daily driver, I use a nexus 4) I have no problem abusing it. I would need some details on getting started with this, and what details you need, from me to help.
I have already downloaded the files from earlier in the thread. my current recover is cwm 6.0.3.2 but I think one of the zips replaces that, right? I'm posting the info to make sure there hasn't been a problem with changing over from there.

Thank you .

If anyone is working on porting this, I'd also be glad to test. My infuse is doing nothing other than collecting dust right now so I might as well do something with it.

Trouble updating to 4.4.3

Hi Guy, and thanks for a lovely forum.
I'm currently running 4.4.2 on my Nexus 5 rooted and with Exposed Installer and GravityBox[KK] (which has a modify kernel for the Exposed installer). I want to install the new OTA-update (4.4.3) but the installation always get aborted (unexpected counting) or something. Dose The EI and GB[KK] interfere with the update process or by the modify kernel or both?
Do I need to uninstall EI and GB[KK], unroot the Nexus 5? In that case, how? Or do a factory reset or di I need to install totally back to stock 4.4.3?
I'm running a Mac (the only computer i own, and I have on internet connection at home so I use my Nexus 5's 3G and use hotspot to the Mac so it's not possible to install ROM's/update via my Mac cause then I will not have an internet connection during the installation process).
Is it possible to return back to stock on my Mac? In case how?
Dose anyone know how to fix this problem or are able to help me solve this problem? All answers are appreciated. I really need to get the 4.4.3 update. It dose not matter if I need to do a full "wipe"/factory reset, I have everything backup.
//David

Thanks for the quick reply!
I do not fully understand the instructions for the Mac. I'm not so femilier with the terminal commands. Do I need to install adb and fastboot on me Mac also?
Do you think that you can help me understand a little better or go through with the steps?

Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That should set up adb/fastboot that'll you'll need. Then extract the file and just double click on the flash-all.sh

Can't Update nexus 5 past 4.4.3

I Need help updating my nexus 5 to 4.4.4. I touched the notification notifing me of the update and it switched to the twrp recovery screen and failed. I then switched back to stock recovery. Now it keeps saying my system is up to date. Any suggestions?

it failed because you are not running 100% stock rom/kernel.

fastboot.

There has to be a better way besides me doing a fastboot or restore to factory. There is an app or script I remember having to cleardata/clear cache . I have too much important data that I can't seem to back up.

Oh right. So to be clear you don't want to be updated / rooted / recovery ?
Because our assumption was that you did want those things and that's the advice we've been giving
App reset? No idea, they changed how it works.
If you use search, there are other threads discussing that. Probably get this one locked
Edit. Oh so you mean the reset that forces OTA updates to be checked again? That was always considered a bad idea and it still won't help your issue of your ROM is modified.
If you want root, what I said is the best way bar none. If you want stock unrooted, fastboot flash system.img to clean up your ROM.

yes I worked it out and already told you it is universally acknowledged as a bad idea. Please answer previous questions.!!!

Well thanks for helping me to help you. It's been a dream it really has.
Everyone else don't do what the OP has done. It has been linked to some pretty bad software issues... This was just a case of "OP knows best" unfortunately.

[Q] Black screen after trying to unroot.

Hello XDA,
2 days ago I installed CyanogenMod via their new installer everything went great. After a 2 days of testing I decided that the Nexus 5 is a great phone and doesn't need any custom rom (atleast not for me). So I followed this guide to unrooting the device and setting it back to the stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I selected recovery and after that I'm supposed to see a dead android. But I'm not seeing anything my screen is black. I can some light so it is still turned on.
I'm kinda freaking out over here so I really could use some help on restoring this ( if its possible ).
Greetings,
Liquidfood.
I'm dutch so my English might not be perfect.

Can you get into the bootloader? Our is your screen black too? I would try to flash the factory image again

That's not a good sign. Look for the LG flash tool, I believe it's in the general forum and try that. I think it's your only hope at this point.

Ok going to try it right now. Sweating heavily at this point...

it doesn't seem to work because I can't get into fastboot.

How you should I go about this. I still have warranty in the store that I bought it form ( probably not because bootloader is unlocked. ). But I wanna try it anyways should I tell them the truth or not? And can I send it directly to google/lg?

Ok so a miracle happend. I got it to work again, I let the battery drain and hooked it up to my computer and got in the bootloader. So I flashed the rom again and now it worked!

Android 5 Nexus 5 OTA UK Release

Is there anyone from the UK who has had the OTA update for their Nexus 5?
I keep checking but it says I'm up to date.
I haven't modified anything, apart from activating the developer options.

I havent recieved it yet

If you are that bothered you could just flash the factory images, this is XDA after all ? I flashed them on my UK N5 as soon as they came out

Hi. Yes I know that, but there has been some issues with doing it that way, although I'm tempted I'm not 100% confident. Give me a Windows / Linux PC / Laptop / Server any day Lol

Here is an idiot proof guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDfZXMJfSFQ, its not that hard. Unlock the bootloader first before you can do this.

Didn't realise it was THAT easy!! Will think about it. Thanks

Even easier way to flash it should you choose to if you get bored waiting for the ota, is to use this.

I updated my fathers Nexus 5 (locked boot loader, etc) manually. Just grab the OTA zip and adb sideload it through the stock recovery. No data was harmed during this update process.

I'm in uk, couldn't be bothered waiting so even with my crap knowledge of well pretty much anything, I side loaded the ota and didn't lose any data and to be honest it was pretty easy to do

If you're still locked, sideload the ota file. If unlocked flash the factory image. There's no point waiting IMO

I sideload the ota without any problems. The only thing I would say is that you have to be patient as some steps take longer than you might expect: wiping the cache took about 20 minutes for some reason on my nexus 5 but only a couple of seconds on my nexus 7. Be patient at each stage and it's a painless upgrade.
