Greetings!
i ve flashed sense port rom just for fun (you have to put it in cwm backup folder and restore it). After that my proximity sensor died and i forgot to make a nandroid backup of my working stock nexus rom.
after that, I ve flashed stock img file via fastvoot and proximity still doesnt work.
Could anyone send me some CWM backup, i cant find it anywhere. Thats the only thing i havent tried to revive proximity sensor.
Or someone has better solution.
Thank you very much,
Aleksandar
If flashing a stock image hasn't fixed it, nothing will.

Seems like deleting the sensor files/folders works...

I really don't know how a factory image or a cwm restore didn't solve it??
@Prezlamen Take a look at the above thread... I hope it will fix your issue as well...

As for the first 2, a factory reset should cure. No custom rom should be touching /persist. This is the problem with flashing incomplete ports. Different phones, different rules

So I cracked my N5 and got a new one today. Did a Nadroid via CWM on the old phone and was looking to transfer to the new and then restore. I see that it's located in /mnt/etc/etc/ but I can't tell if I'm transferring it correctly or not.
I'm doing adb push (file) to /mnt/etc/ but since it's almost a 2gb file, I can't tell if it's working or if it's crashed out.
Is what I'm doing correct? I'm hoping once the transfer is done, I can just restore in RomManager.
Thanks guys!

First of all do not use Rom Manager as it is a buggy, unstable and crappy app. Uninstall it immediately and never use it again Flash CWM or Philz Touch CWM to make or restore a backup. Just place the nandroid you made via usb in the /clockworkmod/backup/ file and see if you can restore it in recovery.
- Edit- as @rootSU said don`t restore EFS or it will mess up you`re phone. Can you restore apps with Tit. Backup or Helium or adb?
Do NOT restore efs

I wouldn`t restore the backup cause the EFS files of your former and current phone are different. You will mess up your phone severely. Its best to restore your apps by other means.
So what's the best way to "clone" my broken device to the new one?
If you're using philz, you wont be backing up efs by default so restoring nandroid is fine. Can't talk for TWRP though

Unless you we`re able to isolate and delete your old EFS files from the backup and replace them with your current one i wouldn`t do it. Don`t know if thats possible and i wouldn`t know how to do that myself anyway. I`d just restore the apps and its data and set it up as you want to. Maybe someone else can give you better advice but thats what i can tell you.
Backed up and restored and everything appears to be going great! Thanks guys!
Is there a main thread for Philz so I can familiarize myself?

I didn't know about Philz Touch.
I am glad I can finally get the right date and time on my backups plus it adds the ROM name and version +1. :good:

In the Time settings, I set the Time Zone for my region and Time Zone offset to +0 min and used the Qualcom Time Daemon to get the current date and time.

There is another recommended way?

Hi guys! I've looked all around and tried the fixes that people recommended, which is basically going back to stock.
So this is what happened to my brother's phone:
Was using the phone and all a sudden the phone freezes (He was on Android L) and he rebooted it. After rebooting, the phone went into bootloop. He downloaded some program that supposedly fixes softbrick and bootloop (by flashing stock ROM) Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.7.
The phone was fixed.. Kinda.. He couldn't get any cell signal. Turns out his baseband and IMEI read unknown. He has the box the phone came in, to we know the physical IMEI number.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lost-imei-please-help-t2529103 but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Also check if wifi mac address is changing after each reboot. Corrupted persist partition can cause problems like that and also other things like crasing apps
Check out my thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576. It worths a try. If it does not help then you have to buy a new motherboard or claim your warranty if you have any.

I tried wiping cache and then it gave me a bunch or partitions that were errors. With persist being one of them. After a while, I was able to clear cache with no errors.

Then it is up to you what are you going to do with the persist partition. You will lose nothing but time by formating the persist partition. If it not fix your problem then you have to buy a new motherboard for the phone to make phone calls either way because you dont have any efs backup.

Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

I followed the guide that google gives to flash the ROM using the original stock image cant post link since I am a new member
it failed still having the endless boot animation.,
also my problem is I didnt had usd debugging enabled. So its make hard to use some of the ADB Commands
Google's guide (flashing the zip file) often fails, not sure why. Look in my guide for a better way to do this. Though if you have a persist partition corrupted, flashing Lollipop will not help. You will still not be able to boot. See my guide. Good luck!

Hello guys
I have a problem. My Bluetooth won't turn on because my folder with the Bluetooth Share apk in it got deleted.
Don't ask me how I did this... I am absolutly clueless myself. I couldn't get it back by restoring the phone.
I hope someone can help me.
Btw. my honor 8 is rooted.
nougat? if so, do soundrecorder/calendar/compass/nfc work? if not, prolly wiped data partition. bluetooth aswell as mentioned apps are tied to data/hw_init
Just reflash your stock firmware.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Reflash using dload
It seems like my calendar works without a problem but my nfc/soundrecorder/compass don't work.
Reflashing usin dload doesn't seem to fix it...
Tried reflashing it with my stock firmware too no success.
yes :/
u obv wiped /data partition at some point. flashing both zips should've fixed that tho. in any case, dirty fix without wiping anything is to extract your update_data_full_hw_eu or whichever u have, move it to /data via some sort of root explorer, so the path looks like /data/hw_init, and apply proper permissions to all files and folders: rwxr-xr-x to folders, rw-r--r-- to files. this works. alternatively you could take the same files and push them to proper locations in /system, also applying same permissions.
however, dload should work
Seems like I'm to dumb to flash my device proparly.
But made a dirty fix. The bluetooth share app shows up now but I still can't turn bluetooth on. Thank you for your help up to now.
didnt really bother with it because i received OTA, but as far as i can tell, issue is not with the zips, rather security checks. those 2 data files can be merged to one no problem, a little fix to updater-script and its fine, you have 2 files to flash. still wont work due to issues with updater.app check
well there is always complete reflash via dload :/
