[Q]Help! Soft-bricked NEXUS 5. Needs access to internal storage - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I was on 4.4.2 and wanted to update to 4.4.3. Since I installed Xposed and the OTA package wouldn't install even after I uninstalled the framework, I opted for the factory image. I used the flash_all script that came with the image file and now my phone is stuck at the dancing colors.
Now I think I can probably get the phone to work again is I do a factory reset but I don't want to lose the file on the internal sdcard.
Is there anyway to backup the files on the internal storage?
I've tried ADB but it doesn't list my device either in bootloader or with the phone off or stuck at the dancing colors.
ADB does list my device in recovery mode with the "apply update from ADB" option, but I can't do a adb pull from there. It says:
error: closed.
Any idea?
OR a method to solve the soft-brick situation without wipe the files on /sdcard would work as well.
Thank you.

You have lost your internal data after using the factory images...

I did? The command in the flash script is
Code:
fastboot.exe -w update image-hammerhead-ktu84m.zip
and from what i can tell from the output it didn't flash userdata.img
Would that mean my files on the internal /sdcard is still in tact?

You need to remove "-w" if you didn't want it to flash your data. Everything's gone now dude..

No fastboot, TWRP flickering screen

Hello people,
First of all, I'm not an expert so pardon on that.
I had a MicroSD card in my tablet and it was partitioned using GParted, 2 partitons - fat32 and ext4. I erased the whole tablet with Wipe option in TWRP and installed move2sd.zip.
Anyway... When I pressed Reboot to recovery, tablet restared, showed TWRP and screen went on and off showing TWRP logo, like it was trying to load TWRP. Now... Since I installed that .zip file it might have written some code to use MicroSD card as boot? I reinstalled TWRP by flashing it via fastboot and was able to enter TWRP again.
Now the stupid part... Since it read 0mb on internal card (tablet), I wanted to fix it by formating Data... It didnt do the trick cause /data and other folders couldn't have been found. That's where I restarted the tablet and pressed Wipe data on the screen with 3 icons (RCK, Android, Wipe data)... Since then I only see 2 screens - bootup screen with Asus logo and message: Device is unlock and the next screen is TWRP and it flickers again, goes on and off just as if it was trying to load TWRP.
I cannot reflash recovery cause there is no fastboot?
I just hope this is not an expensive paper...

You can still enter RCK ??
Not that this helps your situation, so apologies.
Just started getting the screen flicker/lines randomly when handeling it. So my guess was just the loosining of something internally.
I`m also freecarding it. So that hadden`t crossed my mind.
Time for a tear down vid I guess.
Best of luck tho.
I'll make a quick video. Be right back to you...
Edit: I cannot post a video due to XDA rules, but you can search for it: TF700 no fastboot, recovery stuck (search for recent uploads, d jakolis is my username on YouTube) If you guys cannot find it, I can email the link to you.
As you can see in the video, there is not much left to do with the tablet.
However, when I selected Wipe Data on bootloader, did it wipe kernel too? I'm asking this cause I had installed data2sd.zip along with its corresponding kernel.
What would happen if someone else with the same device installed the custom ROM on MicroSD card and handed me his MicroSD card to pop in my tablet? Would it boot off it? Would I be able to enter Android and maybe somehow re-flash recovery and stock kernel along with stock ROM?
You should still be able to connect via adb. Try adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and adb logcat.

Looks like your /data partition is not formatted properly. Try this (don't type "#" and the following comment):
Code:
adb shell # connect to a shell on the device
killall -19 recovery # suspend the recovery so that it doesn't interfere with formatting
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 # format /data
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=64 count=1 # remove "wipe data" request
reboot
Wow... I don't know what to say. I'm looking at the fastboot screen! :highfive:
I didn't type the last line of your code because it rebooted itself after format data was complete - make_ext4fs... Is there any consequence for not typing the last line?
Alright, I'm in recovery right now. Question: What is installed on the tablet right now? If anything... May I proceed with installing stock ROM and maybe do nvflash process to have an unbrickable device?
P.S. What does it take to learn all these things? I'm curious cause I like coding, so if you feel happy to share it, I'm all ears.

Maybe the "killall -19" stuff didn't work and the recovery was not suspended, so it may have somehow determined that the wipe was finished and initiated a reboot.

What is installed? Whatever recovery, kernel and ROM you installed last. No other apps since you just formatted /data.
Since the nvflash (flatline) process saves only BCT, bootloader, partition table and unlock token (basically all the stuff you need to get fastboot working on a hard bricked tablet), you can do that now.

If you can still enter recovery (which one do you have?) you can use the build in Terminal.
Otherwise you have to get the adb drivers installed and working. There is no other way if you do not have a working recover and cannot get into fastboot.
Try this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Once you get the drivers installed boot the tablet to recovery and post what you get with this command:

Splendid!
Now - did you a full wipe in TWRP before installing the rom? Select the Wipe option and swipe the button. Then re-install the rom.
On the last page of the Aroma installer you have the option of saving the installation log. Do it.
Then back to TWRP, go to Advanced and also save the recovery log.
If the ROM still doesn't boot, post both of those logs.
Also try to capture a logcat of the boot process
Code:
adb logcat -v long > logcat.txt
Post that one too.

[Q] how to manually update android on the nexus 5

Hi,
I read that once I will root my phone I will lose over the air updates. But how to manually update it? I use CWM. And will i need to reroot the phone after the update?
Thanks in advance!
Just flash the 4.4.4 zip in recovery. Don't wipe cache or anything. You won't lose data or root, you might have to flash super user in recovery after. I have survival mode on in super user and did not need to reflash su. The zip can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-stock-4-4-3-ktu84m-odex-deodex-t2771010
You will not use otas if you rooting. You will get otas even if you are on a cm rom.
Here is how ota works:
Cheks those system files which have to be updated. If any of those system files is different, then the update fails and will show you an error about unexpected content in xxxx file. If every system files got checked and they are all good for the ota, then it starts patching the files. Then it flashes bootloader (if any), modem (if any), kernel (if any) and copies the recovery image to /system and a script to /system/etc/ then the phone restarts. At booting the phone flashes the new recovery and done.

Install SDK, and make sure that /platform-tools dir is in your PATH (environmental variable) so you can use fastboot and adb from cmd line. Then
1. Download the factory pack from Google
2. Extract it (you can use winrar/7zip, or whatever)
3. Edit the Flash-all script (remove the "-w" if you don't want it to wipe, and the line to flash recovery if you want to keep CWM).
4. Boot your device into bootloader mode, connect via usb
5. run the cmd "fastboot devices" to check your computer see's your device, if not.. you need to configure your drivers
6. run the Flash-all script
That's it.
What is the advantage in doing all those extra steps when you can just dirty flash 4.4.4? I know for a major android version upgrade you'd want to do a clean install, but this is such a minor one. And please don't say something like....to learn how to use fastboot commands.

Those instructions don't require you to know any fastboot commands (the script automates them).

[Q] Accidentally wiped the system and now my Nexus 5 says No OS installed!

I wiped the system thinking it was part of the system factory reset in TWRP but i didnt know that it would result in it saying NO OS INSTALLED. i read other similar threads about this problem but dont exactly understand what to do and how to restore my phone. i have a nandroid backup but its on my pc and not the internal storage on the phone. im fairly new to this so those replying, please explain exactly what to do. Im so scared about what to do now :crying::crying::crying:
Don't be scared its common and very, very easy to fix
Now I don't use TWRP so I have no idea of the directory structure so I can't advise you exactly.
But what you will essentially do is use adb push to get the files on your phone.
Click the link in my signature to go to the sticky roll up thread. All the important threads are linked there. Y
In that thread you'll quickly find my adb info thread. This should be most of what you need to know

First relax, your phone is not ruined. I assume you have a custom recovery. You're going to have to either side load a rom zip using adb or adb push a rom zip onto your phone and flash it in recovery.
Edit, OP you'll want to push the rom to /sdcard/Download. That'll put it into the folder twrp defaults to look for it.

Well, you have three pretty easy options.
TWRP supports ADB commands, but the stock Google driver won't work. If you install the Universal ADB Driver you should be able to push your backup to your device (adb push [file location on your computer] [where to push on your phone])
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
You could also flash a ROM through adb sideload. Download a ROM zip to your computer, then in TWRP choose Advanced -> ADB Sideload. Then run "adb sideload [zip file]" to sideload the ROM you downloaded.
Last, you can restore to the Nexus Factory Image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
All of these options will require you to have the Android SDK setup on your computer. The link for the factory images has instructions on how to get that installed.

Luckily its easier install adb and fastboot than the ask method. Just go to the thread mentioned earlier and use the 15 second installer

All these guys have it spot on! I just wanted to mention that when you install a ROM system gets wiped automatically as this is a parameter in the zip's updater-script.
So in other words there is really no reason to wipe system manually. Just let the install process do it for you. If u wipe system manually and then you realize you do not have a ROM zip or a nandroid only ADB can save you. So this way you can save yourself a headache

1) you need to read the whole of my thread. There are drivers to install
2) Still dont understand why you're running flashall bat when you can just adb push your backup to your sdcard. You know you lose all your data when you do that?

Take a new backup, then delete everything in the new backup folder and move everything from your old backop into the new backup folder,
So for example
Code:
adb shell
mount /data
cd /data/media/0/TWRP/backups
ls
^^ This should list the contents... You should see your old backup and your new backup (which will be mostly empty).
Lets pretend your new backup folder is 22222222 and your old backup folder is 11111111
Code:
rm -Rf 222222222/*
mv 111111111/* 222222222
The first command is a remove (recursive) of the contents of the new backup. second command mvs contents of old backup into new backup folder,
Try that.
I don't know TWRP so my assumptions of the path may be incorrect
Someone else posted twrp default path as /sdcard/downloads - try that.

Problem [BOOTLOADER]

Describing my problem :
Since yesterday my OPO did some random reboots. I was running Paranoid Android and it worked perfectly...
Yesterdayevening after it rebooted another time, my OPO didn't start at all... It seems that my bootloader won't load the OS.
This morning, I did a complete wipe and I've put the stock ROM from the CM site back on my OPO ( XNPH33R signed boot).
-Fastboot works
-Recovery works
-Bootloader won't load OS. ( only the One Plus logo pops up (not the bootanimation)). After that it reboots over and over...
Update 1 17:30 5/10/2014 :
I'm in a bootloop, I have no ROM. I have the TWRP recovery. And the bootloader is LOCKED.
So I tried to unlock the bootloader with the toolkit for the OnePlus one. ( I tried it also manually with cmd).
----WHAT IT DOES in CMD/ Phone-------
In CMD : " OKAY [0.012 s]
Finished. total time : 0.012 s
OPO : It opens up my TWRP recovery but it does not unlock the bootloader
Update 2 19:52 5/10/2014 :
I've been able to unlock the bootloader...
with the command " fastboot oem device-info" , I received :
Bootloader tampered : True
Bootloader unlocked : False ( because the toolkit only did " fastboot oem unlock " , I did an adb sideload with a zip "OnePlusOne-OnlyBootloaderToggle" from the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912. Now my bootloader is back UNLOCKED.
I hope the bootloop will stop when I do a factory / reset.
10:40 6/10/2014 :
I tried several times to flash stock roms from the official site / from the forum. None of them 'work'.
Can someone please help me?? He still bootloops!!! How frustrating thazt is,I tried everything from threads on the forum. Nobody is ansering my thread. Any reason for that ?
My suggestion is this: grab one of the recovery flashable versions of CM11S from here, boot into your TWRP recovery and use adb to push the ROM zip to your phone, then use the install function in TWRP to flash it.
To push the zip to your phone you first need to put it in your adb/fastboot folder (wherever you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe located on your PC), make sure your phone is booted into TWRP and connected to your PC, open a command prompt from within your adb/fastboot folder (shift + right click anywhere in the folder, then select open command prompt here), and issue this command:
Code:
adb push <name of file.zip> /sdcard/
*Please note the '<' and '>' symbols are not included in the command.
From there just flash the ROM like you would flash any other ROM.

Have you tried to format your internal sd card and flash your zip. Remember if you format though you will lose everything on your sdcard. Make sure you backup everything first if you want to try this. Also if you do this you will have to push your zip back to the phone
Who can even solve this?...

My internal storage was already formatted. I just have the TWRP and the zip on my phone.
[Q] In the TWRP recovery menu in 'Advanced' what has to be between Copy Log to SD and Terminal Command? There is a blank spot ,there should be button normally?
How is it even possible i have nothing but the recovery and the zip and I still got a bootloop...
Is there somebody that knows something else that i can try?
Is it possible to flash perhaps with odin?

definitely not odin thats Samsung my friend. Partition SD Card is whats missing in TWRP for you. I asked about formatting internal because a similar thing happened to my friend. We had to format internal then adb push recovery and rom and all was well again. If you have tried this recently then my bad but if you have not it wont hurt to try it again in that order
format internal
adb push recovery
adb push rom
reboot
Take a look in here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
Bootloop fixed
It finally worked!!! How weird that i already found a zip like on the thread but with XNPH33R and also with the persist and recovery.img and flash-all etc... but it didn't work.
Now i just have to update from the settings
At beginning I was convinced that a bootloop could be fixed with factory/reset would do it. Like it always worked on my previous smartphone.
Thank you playya and timmaaa for the responses!:good: You are awesome! See me sitting here with a

HELP!!! Deleted OS and Backups!!!

Okay,
Basically when changing my OS from Paranoid android to Cyanogen mod 12 I messed up
I did a full data reset and factory reset on my phone wiping all the caches as well.
Unfortunately this deleted all my backups and my OS.
Now I have no OS to boot onto to and the only thing I can access is TWRP boot loader.
I need to find a way to move data from my computer to my phone so I can install the Cyanogen Mod ROM and GAPPS!!!
Please help!
BTW I know this was stupid as **** and the phone is effectively bricked at the moment.

No sorry man, mine is just 2.6.3.3 so it doesn't have those options.
Would adb be easier?
It's just getting my phone to be recognized by adb or windows that's troubling me.

Why don't update your TWRP? You can go to TWRP webpage and download new version for your model.
Adb sideload would be another option, yes.

Thanks man but don't worry!
What I ended up doing is editing the drivers for my phone in windows to make them compatible with adb. Then with a adb command prompt open I wrote "push adb rom.zip /sdcard" to get the files on my phone. Finally I installed them with TWRP like usual!
Post the driver thing?
