I have a 32 GB version Nexus 5, but now I see this in the memory section of the settings:
I run Slimkat+ Code Blue kernel... what is happened?

Covered million times. Even in some of the sticky threads. Please use search

You mean the fact that 32 GB isn't really 32 GB but something like 29 GB?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
No. I mean a 32 GB version showing as a 16 GB version

I find it... so I have to do a factory reset to solve this?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
If I full wipe the smartphone and then I restore the nandroid backup of the Slimkat (a nandroid of how I am at the moment) it will work?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Possibly.

Ok, let's try.

It doesn't work..
How can I do?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok, I'm going to use the second method. (Second post of the thread "how to flash the factory image"in the sticky roll-up)
Just a question: flashing the factory image will delete my nandroid backup, right?
If yes, I can save a copy of the backup in my pc and paste it in the device after flashing the factory image and restore it?

The factory reset would also have deleted your nandroid if you'd done it from stock recovery like the thread says.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
In fact I see this after the factory reset with TWRP, anyway I can do what I said in the last post?
To flash the recovery stock I simply use the command fastboot flash like I was flashing the factory images or I have to do anything else?

Flashing the factory image will wipe your device if you use the flash-all bat. Copy your nandroid to your pc. You can copy it back after you re-flash install your recovery

Ok, it worked, now I have only the last question:
In the "TWRP" folder in the Nexus now I have to put only the "BACKUPS" folder or "BACKUPS" and ".twrps"?
Thanks!

You'll need to put the nandroid backup file in twrp/backups/your device serial number/

Yes, but now that I have reflashed the TWRP there is no folder in it, just TWRP..anyway I saved on PC the whole folder "TWRP"

I know how to use adb and I'm not too inexperienced with it. Is there a way that I could push files to the system partition without having root on the device? I'm on stock ROM and I do not want to unlock the boot loader or root it, I just need to push a file to the system partition.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am pretty sure you can only push files to the SD card without root. Rooting/ unlocking doesn't hurt. Try helium for a backup.
I know it doesn't hurt, I just came back to the stock ROM after using my own compiled ROM. I just didn't want to mod it except that one file, thanks though

You should be able to do it in custom recovery

Am I able to boot into one without flashing it while my bootloader is locked? I do not want to unlock my bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not without unlocking your bootloader.

Okay, if I decide to unlock, I can use adb to backup my data partition before the unlock and then restore it after I unlock right?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmmm. Not sure if you can access /data without root via adb. Helium backs everything up so maybe it can. Try it. Im never unrooted enough to know

Here's a good guide to use when performing an adb backup. No you do not need root.

Well, just got my new N5 and already manager to screw up LOL, anyway, I was transferring some files through ES File Explorer from my tablet when I deleted the Bluetooth folder to clear everything up, and when I tried to import files from it again, it didn't work, and I remembered I deleted that folder. I tried to create another one, didn't work, which was weird, and now I don't know what else to do, I need these files backed up here... Help, pls?

no, factory resets only wipe your user data, they dont magically reinstall software. but you will after you.. a. flash the factory img, or b. flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
all info and guides are linked in my signature. Lots of reading but lots to learn.

You could extract the recovery.img from the stock rom and flash it

Today I received a phone recharge, and the first 5 minutes after this recharge everything was good, but then, with no sense, my smartphone didn't receive the signal.
Like I said, the first 5 minutes the device is good, in fact I called my friend with no problems...
I tried to change the SIM, but it doesn't work anyway...
What can I do?

Assuming the reprovision didn't work and you can confirm its not the SIM card damaged.. You could always flash a different radio in recovery or return to stock 4.4.4 via factory image to verify its not the software it'll also flash the latest stock radio.
Unfortunately my pc doesn't work, so I can't do nothing for now, there are other things that I can try?

Mmm... can I restore the nandroid backup of two days ago, when the signal was received perfectly?

Of course you can restore the nandroid. I'd do a full wipe first just to make sure everything is cleaned up.

Flash the factory image in fastboot and see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't it could be a hardware issue.
Edit, I see you don't have a pc Can you borrow one?

Today I'm gonna send it to repair, I hope that I can have the pc as soon as possible...
Anyway, in the hardware problem case, can I send it to LG?
I don't have the Google warranty...

Also tried to flash the rom's update, but it still the same.
So my last hope is to flash the factory image, but I have no pc at the moment.

Install Philz Touch. Wipe all partitions and flash vomer's stock 4.4.4 rom via recovery. This should be enough in most cases to rule out a software issue. But I agree, fastboot cleaning has solved my problems which recovery wipes couldn't!
Ok, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it when I recover my pc

If you look through your recovery menu, it should become obvious to you.

Just add a second Rom and choose backup instead of ZIP file
