I have a Nexus 5 that is on Cyanogenmod11, and I tried to autoflash franco kernel to make my battery last longer. I just found out that cm11 is not compatible with franco kernal, and my Nexus 5 is stuck on a screen with the Google logo, and a unlocked little icon at the bottom. I can get into bootloader, and then get into CWM mode. Help, I just want to get back into c11. I don't need my data backed up or anything, I don't want to try flashing granco kernel again or something. HELP. Please use baby terms because I do not understand anything. Walk me through everything in detail please, and explain some terms that I probably won't know.
Thanks

Thank you, I read online and it told me to do the exact same thing. I downloaded the 2 packages, and then i plugged my usb in to the computer and nexus 5, but the computer did NOT recognize my Nexus 5. Is it because it doesn't recognize my Nexus 5 because it is in bootloader mode?
Thanks

bootloader is for fastboot, not adb. but your computer should still see your phone. boot into recovery to use adb. why not keep a copy of your current rom in your storage just in case? or even a nandroid backup just in case? not pointed directly at you.. but when will people ever learn?

Go to CWM and connect ur phone to PC, then choose Mount and Storage>Mount USB Storage. Your phone will be mounted on PC. Then copy the CM11 zip and Gapps to phone SD and flash them. Flashing Gapps is not necessary though IMO.

I got my phone into bootloader, than selected recovery mode. It says ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5 at the top, and a bunch of options below. I plugged in my USB, and it made the noise that indicates that it is connected, but it does not show me the internal storage of my Nexus 5. What am I doing wrong?

it wont. you need to use adb to move whatever files you want to your phone. it wont show you whats already there. for that, you can use your recovery to see whats zip files are in your storage(in twrp you can also look what other files are there, not sure of cwm recovery.

adb push them to your phone(while you are in recovery), then flash them in your recovery. dont worry about wiping anything, just flash them(dirty, without wiping, so you dont lose any data).

I have adb downloaded, and also cm11 and GAPPS downloaded too. What is next?
one post says you have adb installed, the other says you have it downloaded.. which one, lol?
if its installed, all you have to do is adb push the files to your phone. when ypu push them, be sire to write the exact name of the files when you push them.
first, make sure adb sees your device when its plugged in via usb, type.. adb devices
2nd, push your files.. adb push cyanogenmodromfilename.zip and then adb push gapps.zip

Hey how did you flashed cm the first time?
Today was the worst day ever. I rooted my phone, and it worked perfectly until today. What happened was that when I updated the Google Play Services, I lost connection anything Google related (No connection) I factory reset my phone 4 times, wiped the internal storage, and it still said that I couldn't connect to the Play Store (E.X Could not establish a reliable connection). So I went into recovery and went to Advanced Wipe, and without knowing so, I deleted my OS! Im so stupid..
I FORGOT I WASN'T AN IT...
For the past two days I've been trying to get back the OS (33R). Heres what I've done
1. Downloaded the XNPH33R OS from their website and tried to install it (says NO MD5 Verification)
2. Tried doing everything about resetting OS.
3. HUGEST PROBLEM : Whenever I try and do (e.g adb sideload <rom.>.zip, or flashing) It just says Error: Device not found
4. Downloaded ADB from the Android Debug Bridge, all of my cmd commands return the same thing.
3. Also a huge problem: When I try to flash, it says (device not unlocked) and then I unlock the bootloader (Im guessing what that is will unlock it) and then I go back to the Recovery and do it again on CMD, it repeats it.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
(If you need more information I will gladly give it to you)

Go into Device Manager, and make sure your OPO is listed as under ADB Interface while the OPO is in bootloader mode. If it's not there then yes install or reinstall the adb driver but make sure you don't have any other devices with a triangle next to it as that may be your OPO.

Ok so let me get this straight:
You had originally unlocked your bootloader and rooted through the cmd: "fastboot oem unlock" ?
Did you use this guide by any chance?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
Now you have no installed os and whenever you try to sideload or push stock 33R through adb it gives an error of the device not being found to the adb shell? Or does it complain that the bootloader is unlocked? If the second is happening you might need to reset the unlock and tamper bits,
Sorry if I'm asking something you already stated. I just want to be clear before I recommend anything or try to pull someone who's more experienced in for help.

Yeah I used that guide. And yes, what you stated is true. But another thing is that when I install the ROM, it says No MD5 file, but when I check the zip file, it says that there is a file called md5sum-fastboot.md5, I think that that is what TWRP is saying.
Are you able to use adb to push a zip to your internal storage?

If you can, just push a recovery flashable version of CM11S from here to your phone and flash it with TWRP. No sideload required.

He is right. If you can actually see the internal storage, you should be able to flash a flashable version of stock 33R from TWRP.
Actually if you are on the latest TWRP you can probably use the MTP functions and copy the file over without having to adb push it.
If you don't have the latest TWRP you can download the .img and flash it via the fastboot command. The latest is 2.8.0.1

Well I've been playing around with ROMs, and I screwed up. Ended up formating all aspects, but now adb is not recognizing the device. I have tried on two different machines, OPO will load into fastboot, but not been seen through ADB. I can boot into TWRP, but the internal storage does not mount in order to trasnfer a ROM and flash. Any ideas would be great, I don't even mind going back to stock. However with ADB not finding the device now sure how that can be done.
Thanks in advance,

I was attempting to do so, however when I enter fastboot. ADB does not recognize the device as connected, in reading the tutorials, it gets stuck waiting for device as it's no recognized.
Have you got the Google fastboot and adb drivers? If so have you tried connecting your phone and going to device manager>find your device, it could be listed as A0001 or OnePlus One and you should right click it>update device driver>and choose browse and pick the Google adb driver, it should let you. After this, you need to download the CM11S fastboot zip from here: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip and extract it, open up the file and double click flashall.bat. Hope this helps in some way.

Thank you everyone, got it working through fsatboot. Restored my Madhi rom and back up an running,
Despite hours of searching, I cannot find someone with my exact problem and a solution.
I have a nexus 5
It started bootlooping for no reason
I tried to flash the stock image, everything flashed but it still won't boot.
I tried to download kitkat but I'm using easy tether and I can't use HTTPS and nobody has mirrors.
I've done both the long way by flashing each individual file at a time
I've tried flash all and both fail, I do not get any errors I was not told to ignore during those processes.
Now, I'm fed up and want a new phone anyway. So I want to set the tamper flag to false so I an take it back.
I start following a guide, tells me to download the bootunlocker script and flash it with TWRP.
I flash TWRP with no problems and open it up
Open adb sideload
Open cmd
Type ADB devices
Serial pops up with the active state
I type adb usb
Restarts in usb mode
Type Adb push filename <location> <remote>
Daemon started successfully on port 5037
Error: Closed
I am on windows 7 using adb version 1.0.32.
Can someone please help me?
Why are you using ADB thru TWRP?
If you can flash things your device is already unlocked.
Boot your N5 to bootloader mode and flash stock images from there.
I haven't read one guide that says to use TWRP and use ADB that way.
Flash stock images thru bootloader and use the guides provided here on XDA.
You might of messed up your devices by flashing that bootunlocker. I've never heard of that or heard of flashing something thru recovery to unlock your phone.

I think you misunderstood. I haven't been able to flash bootunlocker yet because of the error with sideload.
I've already tried many times flashing the stock images in fastboot mode. My phone is unlocked but I just want to reset my tamper flag now, I'm not trying to fix it anymore.

I know that but are you planning to return the device? I should have been more clear.
Also when flashing stock images, are you wiping everything before/after flashing?
Also take note boot up time can be up to 10 minutes.

Okay, so when trying to flash CM ROM, I stupidly ended up wiping EVERYTHING in the "wipe" option. Trying to recover it, I tried sideloading the file through ADB, but TWRP would disconnect off the PC and say failed (TWRP version 3.0.2-0). Pushing a ROM zip won't work, as the phone only connects to the PC as ADB Sideload mode ('error: closed' is what it would say), and nothing else would work except sideload. I no longer have a working OTG cable, as my last one broke on me a week ago. The PC will not connect to phone on the 'Mount USB' option from TWRP. Plz help! I'm running out of ideas. I did make a backup (using Online Nandroid Backup, no it wasn't a zip) on the SD card, but TWRP will not read the SD card on my device. Note that the only thing I have is TWRP; no bootloader, no Fastboot, no nothing. Just TWRP.

Get a new OTG cable.
The nandroid backup you made should have been done in TWRP and stored on extsdcard instead of the online backup, online backup is crap because it only works in certain conditions, it's useless when the device can't connect to a network.

Yes. ADB commands other than sideload will say 'error:closed', and ADB Sideload will just end up making the phone disconnect. At this point, I may HAVE to end up getting a new OTG Cable.
Yes, I was trying to do the backup on TWRP, but as it couldn't read the SD Card, I used Online Nandroid Backup. Then I realized that everything I was doing was completely stupid while I wiped EVERYTHING....

Yeah, new cable seems to be your only option.

Try rooting the device and then use the Stick Mount app, if your device has the hardware to support OTG, that should enable it, but if your device does not have the hardware to support OTG then it doesn't matter what you do softwarewise or what you modify, it has to have the hardware or it can't do it at all.
Things like this are why I'd never buy or own a ZTE device of any kind. Relatively soeakibg, they are all junk.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
Only thing is, I dont HAVE any system to boot in order to check that. I guess I'm out of luck, no wonder why others said this phone was crap.

If you can use adb shell or fastboot, you can try getting a copy of system.img from someone with your exact device and dd or fastboot flash the img.

Any ADB commands other than Sideload will just respond as error:closed, as the computer only reads the system when in ADB Sideload mode. However, when trying to sideload a ROM, the phone will disconnect and say failed, while the computer stays on xfer: 0.00. Maybe I could get some instructions to fix that? Maybe a bad TWRP version? If so, I'm ****ed...
After reading other pols forums, it seems that I didn't have to delete the internal storage........

Sideloading a ROM won't work.
Try
adb reboot bootloader
If you can boot to bootloader or fastboot you can try finding the firmware for another device that has all of the exact same hardware components that your device has then try fastboot flashing it or extract the separate .imgs from the firmware and use the fastboot commands to flash the boot.img and system.img.

can't get into fastboot, ADB command says error: closed, while doing the command in terminal in the TWRP menu keeps me on ZTE screen (only reboot recovery works, not as ADB command but in terminal).

Did you ever get the TWRP for this? I have it in my dropbox pm me.
The issue were running into is that the TWRP on this model can't see the ext sd. The backup is 1.5 or 2gb which is usually too large to fit on the internal SD
Slacker is working hard at modding the Fstab file to make TWRP see that storage. Any ideas please let him or I know([email protected] or here )
I'm also working on an EquiMods custom ROM for this. Bare bones battery saver, switchable to performance when needed.
Anyone know if and how these can be overclocked?
I have a deodex rom done for this phone and also should have the working twrp recovery by morning. The cm11.0 ive been working on is almost done. I hope Everytime i flash it to phone i get white screen. Also im going to install xposed on it in the morning. I think i found the fix for that to work
Any news on this? I can't find anything that works with this phone. I have adb sideload working, but that's pretty useless from what I understand.

They obviously got something to work since there are members in this thread that have TWRP installed on their devices, that means they can at least root the device but I doubt there are any ROMs for this device.

I've rooted my N817 but never made an Nandroid backup. I still have TWRP up and working but I've tried to flash the 2 roms I know of....they both "install" but when I try to boot It stays in the ZTE screen...Help!
