My Nexus 5 is showing up in Device manage as Google Nexus ADB Interface. Has updated drivers. Yet when I open cmd and enter adb devices it's not showing up. This was alreday set up before, and I've used it with no issues, now today nothing.
Please help

ok. In fastboot mode nothing shows up. However when I go into recovery mode it does. I'm running trinity kernel trying to get into fastboot to go back to stock.

That makes perfect sense. In fastboot use fastboot devices. Or do you mean even using fastboot commands it doesn't recognize the device. I had the opposite problem before where fastboot would work and adb wouldn't. I had to reinstall drivers. Google naked usb drivers and try those.

Build.prop

I have the Motorola Fire XT rooted and deleted the build.prop file in the system. I have a back - up of the file on my computer but not my phone. I need to figure out a way how to put it on my phone. My phone is in a boot loop. Any help? Thanks.
You could push it to your device via adb. This can be done manually or you could use a tool such as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599332.
You need adb. Install adb and put the build.prop file in the same folder as adb and use the command "adb push build.prop /system"

What can one do if this action is needed (running ADB) but the user haven't turned on USB-Debuggning, nor can enter the recovery mode.
Considered a bricked device?

No. Do you have this issue? If so, are you able to boot into fastboot/bootloader?

Hello,
Yes I do.
I can't get into recovery mode because the device gets stuck at the logo.
I know it's the correct buttons being pressed as I do have another same tablet which enters recovery without problems.
If you mean fastboot via USB-Debugging? Well I can't do any ADB because I don't have USB-debugging enabled.
Any idea how to rescue this tab?
Thanks

If resetting the device doesn't work, you don't have access to recovery mode/bootloader/fastboot or even download mode (depending on your device), then there is pretty much nothing you can really do to fix it yourself. The only other possibility would be to try to run the stock ruu (if it has one).

Thanks for the suggestions, but that would suck
Must be something I can do.
It's a Chinese brand tablet, the quality is good but this is the only issue.
However, if I plug in the tablet to the computer, something called "WinDroid Linker" shows up on the PC and I remote to the tablet while I'm on the screen that says I need to do a factory reset. From there I can reach keyboard settings, but that's all I've figured out so far.
Due to the fact that I'm able to remote the tablet, shouldn't I be able to do something from there?
I'm not, however, able to reach the storage as far as I know.
Thanks

If you can get into recovery mode, find the mount options. Mount /system. Then adb push the file to your phone.

Ya but if im in recovery my phone wont show up in the listed devices. And now my device wont show up as its booting up. If there is a way for adb to recognize the phone in recovery that would be great.
If you have adb properly setup it should see it in recovery. What recovery are youbusing? I do this stuff in clockwork all the time when I'm porting roms.

Nexus 5 soft bricked after installing the wrong kernel

So i have a big problem, i acidentally downloaded the wrong kernel for my Nexus 5 (acidenttly got the nexus 4 versionb of Hells-core instead of the N5 version.) and flashed it, Now my phone wont boot nor can i access recovery or the bootloader. BUT when i plug it into my computer it tries to install drivers but fails because it cant find them, So im pretty sure its not a paper weight. Im running windows xp and was using carbon. If ANYONE can help please let me know.

i managed to get it into recovery as well as fastboot. but now when i try to do my recovery backup it causes the same error i was having i.e it would be detected by my laptop but i cant see anything. i may have to do a complete factory restore and see what happenes. Its kinda sad my GF with really NO android experience helped me get it into bootloader WHICH for anyone that has an issue similar to mine where your PC detects your device but you cant see anything on the screen hold down both up and down + power to get into bootloader. if it doesnt work at first hold down down + power (while its still connected to your pc so you can hear it feject) as soon as you hear the eject noise press and up down+up+power and you will be in bootloader
This guy had the same problem

He dd'd his messed up partition back. I guess it's the bootloader that was overwritten but you can dd the secondary bootloader to the primary bootloader partition and it'd fix it hopefully.

Need to salvage data from rooted Nexus with Broken screen.

Hey everyone! I've been taking help from you people at XDA for quite a while and I never needed to make an account before this.
First off, I would like to thank everyone at the website who contributes in any way. You guys make things a lot easier. :good:
I have a Nexus 5 and I wasn't very fortunate at one of my previous football matches. The screen broke and came off. My lockscreen has a pattern which is causing all the trouble. I want to get my files back from my phone but I don't know how. My phone is rooted and running stock, I do have a custom recovery and I've backed up my ROM. Everything is working perfectly on the phone, I was getting calls, its buzzing from notifications and the notification light is still blinking. I connected it to a PC and it shows but I can't access my data as the screen is locked. Due to some problems with windows 8.1 I turned USB debugging off as my phone wasn't being detected. I have android device manager activated but my WiFi was off when the screen broke so I cant disable the lock.
SUMMARY:
Rooted Nexus 5 running stock android with custom recovery (cwm)
USB debugging may be on/ may not be
Phone working perfectly, just no screen.
WiFi is off.
I have experience with bricked phones, flashing ROMS and stuff.
I just wanted help on how I could get my stuff back. Right now services with which I can control my phone from my PC seem like a very good idea but I can't install an APK on my phone. Please help me out guys. Also, if there are any threads which have solved this problem please link them below. I'm busy trying to get into a university.
EDIT: USB debugging MIGHT be on as I don't perfectly remember turning it off.

If you don't see the serial number look up everything you can related to your OS and adb.

Thank you so much for this! I never bothered with the android SDK as I couldn't install it the first time and I didn't really need it until now. The only problem occurring right now is that I can't turn off my phone, and so I can't boot into recovery. Posting a pic of my phone lol.

Thanks a bunch! I dont think my hardware keys are working properly. I turned my phone off by disconencting the battery conenctions. I tried booting into recovery but my phone turned on normally instead. I tried "adb devices" and luckily it showed my serial number followed by "device". I just randomly tried "adb pull sdcard/music" and it worked! So now I have access to all my files. Could you guys post some links to advanced push and pull commands? I dont want to pull everything, I want my folder trees so that I can only take out the important stuff.

Windows can't detect Nexus 5 anymore. How to lock boot loader and restore to factory

Something happened to my Nexus 5 and I can't access it under Mac or Windows. I have ADB installed. It just wont show up in Windows even as an unknown device. Just nothing. I tried to put it in fastboot (bootloader screen) but still it cannot be detected. I checked MTP check box and it wouldn't make a difference. I thought I can still use the phone but now it keeps charging as USB even when plugged to an external charger. I tried different cables and chargers and still the same result.
Is there a way to lock the boot loader and reset the phone to factory default without using fastboot command on Windows? is there something I can do giving that I have root access to the phone in sequence to get it back to factory so I can return the phone? I have TWRP installed as recovery.
you can lock the bootloader with an app, if you have root. but you can only flash the factory img via fastboot. if needed, here are the instructions, but you do need to reinstall your driver http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701 . you can try another driver, like koushes adb driver, maybe thatll help.
Cool. I have root and I got bootloader locked and tamper set to untamper using the app. I have the original Google image installed but the recovery is TWRP. I think I just need to remove TWRP and I should be all set. Is it possible to do that without fastboot ?

Yes, you can flash stock recovery via TWRP (in a zip, or flash the,img via flashify.... There is a link in the resources section of teh sticky thread (see signature) to recoveries (including stock)

Again, an app will work, flashify. You'll need the stock recovery image to flash in it.

Yeah, sounds like a borked USB connector. Some solid advice, but you could also use ADB over network. Would only help to prove it is the USB. If you can connect, get all data and then fastboot stock. Who knows, USB might work again, probably not though.

Multiple reasons, when Nexus 6 comes out, I want to sell N5 pand buy N6. Right now who wants to buy it like this?
But more importantly, USB charging speed even when plugged to AC adapter is very slow (USB charging) and is unacceptable. I'm a heavy user and I charge my phone mid day. I will try to test charging using a charging cable rather than data cable and see if that forces AC charging.
Lastly, I want to copy things fast to the device when needed. USB is much faster than 1 MB/s using Airdroid. This is not the first time. Last time, I returned it due to issue with GPS chip getting disconnected (a well known issue with first batch of N5 phones). Sad, this happened now.

How do I fastboot flash stock over WiFi ? I think ADB over network goes away as soon as the phone boots to fastboot.

You can't use fastboot over WiFi. ADB over network also automatically disables itself after a reboot.

Yeah, sorry, I have never been in the situation and was just theorizing about how it could be worked out. Brilliant people here and thank you everyone.
try a difference PC. every time I modify my phone I end up having to reflash the google ADB drivers and the MTP drivers.
Charging speed very likely would be cable issue.

Pull storage from damaged device

So I accidentally dropped my nexus 5 and I need to replace my display but unfortunately I haven't backed up my data (mostly pictures I'm worrying about the most). So is there a way to pull the storage from it? I've tried with adb and it doesn't work because it doesn't list my device.
I really hope there is a way to do it.
If USB works and its not detecting adb, then its set up wrong. Adb is the only way if both touch and display are broken.
Please click the link in my signature and read the adb and fastboot thread. It will tell you how to set it up properly

I can't seem to make it work.
In "adb devices", it shows a device listed but in "fastboot devices" it doesn't show any device. When I tried to boot into fastboot mode I couldn't tell if I booted correctly because it shows the same thing as when I boot it normally.
I tried using the command "adb pull data/media/0 C:\adb\sdcard_25082014" and it gave me the error "remote object data/media/0 does not exist".
What should I do?

Please tell me what have I done wrong because I can't seem to figure it out.
Unfortunately I don't know a solution to your problem, but your data shouldn't get lost when you replace the screen.
I replaced mine a week ago. Actually it was very easy. The most difficult part was removing the backcover.
The parts inside of the device are fixed with a little bit of glue which is not strong at all.
The whole replacement took me around 20 Minutes and I have never done something like that before.
After that everything was still on my phone.
And if your device doesn't get recognized from your computer in fastboot mode you should try the universal adb driver. This works perfectly for my Nexus 5.

After that everything was still on my phone.
And if your device doesn't get recognized from your computer in fastboot mode you should try the universal adb driver. This works perfectly for my Nexus 5.

He doesn't need fastboot mode, only recovery and adb seems to be working fine.
OP, try adb pull /data/media/0/ c:\blah blah

Are you SURE you're in recovery?
You got an error when you mounted data
Edit, well you got 2 errors...
The first error you got was the "usage" line. That means it thinks you typed "mount data" as an incomplete command. It IS incomplete if you're booted into android. Its not incomplete if you're in recovery. So I dont think you're in recovery.
The second error is "remote object doesnt exist". That's because you haven't mounted data.
To ensure youre in recovery, either:
1) Boot into android and then "adb reboot recovery"
2) From off, hold vol down and press power to get to bootloader. Press vol up TWICE then press power

Unless you can get recovery to show up, you're screwed.
I don't know anything about twrp so I can't help there.

Looking at my phone, I can't tell whether I'm in recovery or just booting normally or whatever because it doesn't show anything.
I guess I'll just have to wait until someone who knows TWRP can help me.
But thank you anyways

Try manually option 2
Otherwise you can fastboot flash philz recovery - which is a recovery I know.
