Back to stock without USB port? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After my USB port stopped working I called the Google support and they sent me a new n5. Now I have to sent my "old" n5 with the broken usb port back. I already locked the bootloader and untampered my n5 but how can I:
Flash the stock ROM
Flash stock recovery
Wipe all my personal data
Without the usb port?

I would recommend you do this in this order:
Unlock bootloader with BootUnlocker
Download and flash rooted Stock ROM (odexed) via recovery
Flash stock Recovery.img via flashify (reboot to confirm worked)
Lock Bootloader via BootUnlocker (reset tamper too)
Use SuperSU option to "FullUnroot"
Factory reset via menu

Should I take this ROM

Looks as good as any. You'll need to remove busybox before you unroot too. Check for /system/bin and /system/xbin /busybox

Thank you!! Hopefully google take my n5 back without any problem...

What do we have to remove into /system/bin?
I see the busybox file in /system/xbin but nothing in the first directory.

It really depends on the method of installing busybox. Some ROMs have it in xbin, some in bin... Some kernels come bundled with busybox and it can also be installed from play. There will usually only be one instance of busybox, but always check both locations.

Yes.. If you come from stock kernel, you must flash kernel with flashtool or fastboot or flashgordon. You can flash custom kernel with CWM if you not in stock kernel.
so can we flash with stock recovery?

you have to flash the kernel that breaks wifi so you can have CWM, then install this ROM, then flash the extended stock back to have wifi.
When v2 is released in the next few days, you will have to flash the kernel that breaks wifi to get CWM, then install v2, then flash the extended stock back to have wifi.
Only way to have wifi and be able to flash is flash the different kernels to get CWM to flash then back to get wifi.
Flash ThunderZap, do anything you want in CWM and flash Extended Stock V2 for working wifi
If he would just add CWM to this kernel....it would be perfect

changelog v3: since we're using unlocked bootloader, so :-
* compiled from stock .17 sources with minimal changes ( only patched to fix recovery and make it compile )
* integrated cwm
* updated superuser app and binary
* stock .17 ramdisk
* ro.secure=1 ( =0 can break things )
* /system and /rootfs mounted as read only for security
this is one of very few reasons why one should buy unlocked devices

Switch from supersu 1.86 to cwm superuser

I have a tricky issue with my new N5. I cannot switch from supersu to cwm superuser.
I did it without problems on my N7 2 by deleting /system/etc/.has_root_daemon, unrooting via supersu settings and flashing superuser.zip but no chance with my N5.
I'm running stock unlocked, Franco r31, twrp.
Any suggestions?
Thanks bluetigger68

Why unroot? Cwm superuser doesn't change the binary. You don't need to remove the binary surely? Just the apk

just flash the latest supersu in your recovery. itll get rid of your superuser and replace it http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
I tried pushing superuser apk to /system/app and removing supersu apk, I tried just removing supersu via it's settings and superuser always keeps asking for updating the binary, that does not happen when unrooting first.
Simms22 I want it the other way.

yea, nevermind. i read it wrong :angel:
It places the apk in /system/app I can open it and it keeps asking me for updating the binaries in recovery. This reboots the phone to recovery and twrp tries to install but fails, I point twrp to the file manually and it flashes flawlessly. After a reboot it just starts again to ask for updating the binaries...
It worked in every other nexus i posses, both N7, N4 but won't in my N5.
I just don't get it.
It seems the problem is related to Franco kernel, superuser works with stock kernel but after flashing Francos it stops working...

Doesn't boot into TWRP after flash

Hey Guy,
I flashed the XtreStoLite Bootloader and Modem for 5.1.1.
After that I flashed the new TWRP with Odin, it passed so there shouldn't be any errors.
I tried to boot into the recovery after I turned off the phone with volume + / power / home button. At first there was only a picture of an android but now it doesn't do anything when I try to press the buttons.
The Bootloader shows that the knox is already tripped so it's w/e.
Tried to check for root in Android terminal but apparently it doesn't recognise the command.
Any ideas how to proceed, so I can finally boot into twrp?

redownload twrp, check md5 and flash twrp again would be what I would do.
Flashed several times after redownload, can't get into the twrp. Hash is correct, how fast do I have to be with the + button for getting into it, when my phone reboots?

Did you flash this file?
Once it is flashed with ODIN and the screen turns off for reboot, already hold the three buttons.

That's the point:
you have to be very quick .
That's the reason most people can't get this to run; you have to be fast enough to stop the phone from rebooting all by itself.
I'm sure you don't need to reflash, give it another try.
Flashing the XtreStoLite ROM should be done via TWRP, also, just copy the file to your phone`s root folder using ODIN
and use TWRPs "install" feature; voila.
Have fun!

Ye that's how I used to flash ROMs on my Hox. Just couldn't get the twrp to work.
Edit. Got into recovery, there's no twrp on the Phone.
Only "android system recovery".

Put it in d/l mode, connect to your PC and flash TWRP again with Odin.
I had some issues when using a slightly older version, make sure Odin, TWRP and your Samsung USB drivers are on they're latest version.

[ROOT] Unable to update SuperSU binary

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum, so forgive me if I make any mistakes
I installed the latest Chainfire SuperSU (v 2.46), and flashed it with TWRP. The flashing was successful, but when I opened up SuperSU there was a popup that said "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?".
This is where the problem comes in. There are 2 options to update the binary, normal and TWRP/CWM. At first I tried TWRP, and to my understanding, the phone is supposed to automatically boot into recovery and install the binary update, but nothing happens. The popup just closes and that's it. SuperSU didn't even close. After rebooting, I tried the "normal" option, and after a while, it says "Installation failed! Please reboot and tried again." No mater how many times I reboot, the problem persists.
I have already tried reflashing the SuperSU zip and rebooted many times, but nothing seems to work. I'm at my wits end. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Anyone?
I've also tried reflashing TWRP, in case the problem was with the recovery. No luck there either. I'm also unable to use the "Full unroot" or any other related uninstallation/reinstallation of SuperSU. After the "Uninstalling..." message, nothing happens, and when i reboot my phone, SuperSU is still there.

Yes, I was looking at that, I can get the stock firmware, which is the RUU (?) from here right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
But does this work on S-On?

Currently following your instructions for decrypting the RUU, but may I know where I can obtain the hboot img file?

we (@Captain_Throwback and myself) are currently working on a Universal HTC Decrypt Tool, until we get that done, you only have three choices
1- decrypt it yourself, i think i've left more than enough information in @joeykrim's thread
2- wait till we finish the tool
3- if you're really desperate, give me links (the phone forum, and the ruu in question), and i'll take a look (sorry but I don't feel like going through forums & threads, about a device I havent even heard of)
Are there any updates on the Universal HTC Decrypt Tool?

Flashfire does not seem to work right without SuperSu, at least I had the same experience as you. I flashed back the stock recovery and let the normal updater do it's jobs.
It doesn't seem to care that a custom Kernel and magisk is installed, worked perfectly.

I find it easy to flash the full update through TWRP.

I flashed successfully using TWRP as well, and everything is working fine.
Just downloaded the version posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74693612&postcount=6
Then booted to TWRP, flashed the file, then flashed Magisk (or SuperSU if you prefer) to root. Root before rebooting after the update, otherwise TWRP may be replaced with stock recovery.
I did backup using Titanium, before updating. Your data should remain intact. But it's good to backup beforehand, just in case.
You do not need to download images from the site. Simply allow your tablet to download the update. Once downloaded, it is located in /system/data/data/com. nvidia. ota/app_download - move it to /system/sdcard/Download, run the tablet in recovery and flash the downloaded zip file.
