No SD card - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I installed one of the Android L previews and now for some reason I now when I download something from Chrome or take a picture I get a message saying no SD card. Is there a way to fix this?

You need to re-flash then boot into recovery and clear cache and factory reset

This.
You have to completely wipe everything including internal storage as L formats/reads it different somehow.

Miui rom internal memory warning

Hi I recently installed miui on defy everything is fine but I had a internal memory free more than 300. But when I tried to install some apps it says full memory,when I start again it install sometimes and not sometimes,so place help me

did you wipe data/cache in recovery before you installed? It may have recognised full capacity as that. OR you have a damaged memory unit. Try reflashing the official 2.2.2 rom and if it is still buggy then send back to motorola
I faced the exact problem. Ended up resetting phone! Now it's working though.

Flashed the Nordic SBF > Root > Install Defy 2nd Init> Wipe Data/Cache > Wipe Dalvik Cache > Install MIUI.
I tried without flashing but the phone was not booting after wiping. So had to flash. You may have better luck

[Q] Help cyanogenmod boot animation

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S III, new, just followed the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914,
I used Rom Manager and tried to flash CM 10 from my external sd card and I got the following error message:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed"
from this point I was able to reboot the phone and the phone worked fine (with touchwiz and original android 4.0.4).
I then used EZ Rom from this tutorial to try to accomplish the same thing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)
I selected CWM 6.0.1 and it allowed me to select the nightly CM 10 zip file I had put on the external sd,
I then installed from sd the gapps from the same tutorial.
All appeared to be normal and I then rebooted the phone and now all it will do is show the cyanogenmod boot animation.
I have tried taking out the battery and restarting it but that does not fix things, I still get the cyanogenmod boot animation and nothing else.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Sorry, I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
Regards,
M
Also, I believe I had accomplished rooting and unlocking correctly with the exception of no audio "Unlocked" message--that is, I only got a "your phone is unlocked" message on screen when I used the unlock app. I did not get the audio as the tutorial said I would.

First off, thank you kintwofan for taking the time to help me, I appreciate it.
So I pulled the battery, held volume up+home key+pwr and was able to get into recovery,
I selected data reset
Now when I boot up the phone the cyanogenmod boot animation appears and I get a message "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped and I can select ok
then I get a message set up wizard has stopped.
should I pull the battery and try to install from sd card the CM10 nightly zip file again?
Thanks,
I would say go back to recovery. Factory reset again, under advanced wipe dalvik cache and under mounts wipe system. The flash cm10 and I gapps again. By the way what gapps do you have?

I did the factory reset, then wiped dalvik cache, then I chose format/system under wipes and mount.
I then installed from external sd the CM10 nightly
I did not install the gapps zip file this time,
and rebooted.
now the phone boots up and and appears relatively normal (compared to my Galaxy nexus)
the android version says 4.2.1
However, there is no service, it does not connect to verizon.
if i make the screen black then hit power, the message at the bottom of the phone says "no sim card" but my sim card is installed (haven't taken it out at all)
What should I do next (can't tell you how much I appreciate this--I will pay you!!)

I can see that the gapps file was not for android 4.2.1 but rather 4.1
so starting over with the factory data reset etc, will report back soon, fyi i found a gapps for 4.2.1 here (http://goo.im/devs/PureMod/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20121130-4.2.1-signed.zip

I've successfully got the correct gapps on the phone now, but no service, it says no sim card
I took the sim out and re installed but no luck there, searched the forums and not successful at seeing a fix either,
any suggestions here?

Factory reset

Doing factory reset erases all data on phone including music, pics or just the apps and contacts?

It erases everything, putting the phone into its initial state, of when you took it out of the box for the first time. Therefore the name, "factory reset".
Like said above factory reset resets all user data..It's like performing a wipe of /data/ partition.
It does not however restore the system directory. Any changes made there remain the same even after a factory reset. So if you removed bloat and perform a factory reset that bloat Will still be gone when you setup the phone again.

This ^^^^
In recovery the ONLY way you'll wipe your internal SD..pic, music, downloads...etc...is checking off internal SD in the wipes.

Yes it is. Or at lest, its a user problem. Post in the Android L Q&A thread, although teh answer should be to flash userdata,img from developer preview or stock factory image
Flash userdata.img, cache.img and then perform a factory reset from the stock recovery. This should fix it.

[help]unfortunately, setting has stopped

Is what my nexus 5 says after doing a factory reset i am not sure what to do anymore and cant find any place for help i press ok but the pop up keeps coming. Is it a good idea to reflash amdroid?
Try clearing cache in recovery. If that doesn't work then your probably going to have to flash the factory images with fastboot
