Yes you need a file to install a custom recovery. It's called an .img file and you install this by using fastboot commands and the Android SDK while in fastboot mode. Head to general and check out the sticky by rootSU. You access recovery by holding power + down while your Nexus 5 is off, if you don't install a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM you will be on stock recovery and you won't be able to do much. Use the volume buttons to cycle through the options until you see Recovery and tap the power button.
If this didn't help, please be more descriptive as rootSU said.

@rootSU sounds like this is a job for the Sticky! @amongmyselves please click the link in rootSU's SIG and read the sticky about fastboot/adb. Everything you need is in the stickies

Also as a big big hint. When you first root your device you *WILL* lose all your data on your sd partition. So if you've made any changes, etc., be prepared to lose it. Also all your pictures and whatnot. I would suggest doing a copy/paste using your usb cable to like your computer before you root/unlock bootloader. I made that mistake the hard way and feel this should really be in big red letters on the root thread. lol

well go to sticky thread on how to root and stuff in general section and most important create a backup of efs before trying anything so the first thing after getting recovery in get efs and keep it safe in ur pc

No, unlocking the bootloader is what wipes. You can unlock the bootloader but not flash a recovery nor root. Just as there are methods to root without unlocking the bootloader.

[Info] Relocking Bootloader to update, then re unlocking

I see a lot of people having problems and lost how to relock bootloader to update via RUU. This is a quick little tutorial. This works with AT&T that I've tested but should work with.others Mods I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place...but it feels right here.
If you are relocking make sure you have SuperCid.....
Open command where your SDK tools are....quick way is to hold shift and right click and choose open command line here. Make sure debugging is checked on. Plug device in charge mode, and type adb command as followed below.
"fastboot oem lock"
Now you should be relocked on bootloader. While in bootloader run the RUU 1.85 exe file and follow instructions....takes about 15 min or so to complete. Once done the phone will reboot. Enable debugging once again under developer options. Got to the HTC dev page to unlock bootloader....follow instructions to unlock....use option all other supported devices..... obtain token to unlock bootloader...I hear you can use the old token but this is how you obtain new one just incase.
Place the token bin file inside your SDK tools folder....fire up command prompt once again, go reboot into your bootloader on phone, connect phone to pc, and type adb command as followed...
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
Then select yes on phone....blah blah...phone will reboot...once rebooted enable debugging again, go to power options and turn off fastboot....then power off phone......go into bootloader by holding volume down and power and make sure bootloader says unlocked...if not run token identifier command again...took me two trys to get it.....I've heard others take more tries.....if it says unlocked....reboot phone....flash cwr...you can use the one click recovery on this forum..... Then reboot into recovery and go happy flashing on your now updated device. I'll update later, I was just typing this up real quick at work. I might make a bat tool to make things easier.
There is already a thread started on this topic in the General section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312
This same thing is posted in General I believe by a different user and also in every forum thread I've come across today lol.

I agree.
Just my 2 cents, I don't regularly comb the General subforum to add important threads to the Index sticky thread. I'd personally rather guides like this be posted in Development. Although I think its inevitable that some useful info is going to end up in General.
plus, i think a .bat tool would be very helpful in this instance. would love if that could be created.
thanks for your work

I'm seeing that the One X is a different beast and the users are a bit different too, I bet many won't ever even LOOK in Dev.
This helped me out beyond belief! Even if this was on the forum already, I had not seen it. Thanks for the write up.
This totally belongs in this sub-forum. This is related to modifying boot loaders and working around HTC patching the root exploits in 1.85. This is not "General" material.
As far as it being redundant to what is posted in General, how was one to know? Come one guys.
Also OP, You can use the same token that you initially got when you unlocked on 1.82. You dont need to gen a new one. Just throwing that out there.
I had submitted my reply at the same time as the second poster. It just seems like the same info that a lot of other users have posted else where is all.

I posted this guide in GENERAL a few days ago because I felt like there was NOTHING developmental happening here. It is a general how-to on locking and unlocking your bootloader. Nothing new, in a development sense, is happening in this post.
I'm not saying he's wrong, but it's how I felt when I posted this guide in the general section. I suppose it doesn't matter as long as people are finding the help they need.

He also delves into custom recovery and that falls under Development. That is not General. With your line of thought the entire "Unlock Bootloader" thread should be in General too because its not technically development?
Sorry not trying to get into a pissing contest I am just trying to show you a alternative point of view.
But we can agree that the that info is useful regarldess of its location...
My thread got hammered with this question when people were updating my ROM. I wish someone made this thread earlier or at least I knew about it. I rarely look at General. Had I seen your thread I could have sent people over there instead of derailing my thread. Oh well. At least I know where to send them now!
And as far as being duplicates, that's a good! Look at any big sub forum and you will see lots of guides on the exact same subject. Each thread explaining it a little different and some threads putting in videos, others with screenshot. There is nothing wrong with too much info. People learn different ways and with different methods / styles of communication.

[HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly.

There are a lot of people joining XDA on a daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked
which clutter up the Development and 'Q & A' threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions.
The idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. People are usually
ridiculed for asking questions that other people deem stupid even though it may be a legitimate question. This
leads to new users being afraid to ask questions!
Only provide well mannered help towards users in this thread. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in
the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself. If you don't want to answer, at least
point out where to find the answer.
Before posting anything, I strongly advise you to read THIS thread.
Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in Post No. 2, you might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please do come back and read threads in Post No. 2
(coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time
and frustration it will save you in the future!
No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! That means:
NO TROLLING
NO NAME CALLING
NO RIDICULING
NO FLAMING​
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE! No question is stupid or irrelevant in this thread. You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.

ZTE V970 Brick?
Hi,
I've been trying to install Bruno's ROM for this phone (cam with all chinese apps). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856578
but have a big problem. I tried my best to follow the instructions but, really couldn't work out if I was doing things in the right order.. is there an actual step- by step for this procedure? I know I'm a noob and read this read that I am an idiot etc. etc. but I thought if I used to ROM on that page and the software recommended it would be easy.
Here's what I did:
Downloaded all the files as told.
Tried to 'flash a custom recovery' as here http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
but it did not mention how to use the ZTE custom recovery file http://d-h.st/Vgt
I'm also not sure at all that the 'MediaTek drivers' were installed properly. The phone never appeared in the Device manager.
I opened SP flash tool and followed this: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
and selected the 'scatter file' from the unzipped Bruno ROM (took a while to realise had to unzip it to get the file!!!)
I noticed most of the boxes on the scatter file were unchecked but carried on and ignored a warning message about the phone may not be able to boot (the tutorial said to ignore it).
I had to click 'download' then plug the phone in and eventually I got the red loading bar. This finished... then nothing else.. no purple bar.. nothing.
So after waiting a few minutes I unplugged the phone.
It now appears to be a total brick. What did I do wrong? Why no purple bar? Were the scatter items supposed to be unchecked? What was the 'custom recovery' file for? Because the SP flash prog never asked for it.
Is there any point in trying it again or is the phone dead?
Thanks for any help..

stupid newbie question: Is there any way to run fastboot without connecting the phone to a computer?
Device: HTC One V [CDMA]
Network: Virgin Mobile US
Goal: I want to be able to relock and unlock (which on my device is
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken <txt file>
) my phone without having to connect to a computer.
Motivation: I've already managed to near-brick my HTC One V twice, both due to HTC's silly OTA radio update (details here), and the only way I was able to fix it in either case was to use Solution #2 from the linked thread (although I didn't try solution #1, there is absolutely no way to do #1 without Windows, never mind without a computer). Since I've proved perfectly capable of soft-bricking without the intervention of a computer—although I don't think that will happen anymore as long as I remember not to use my two Nandroid backups with the newer radio—I would really like to be able to unbrick it without a computer in case I have to do it when I don't have a computer handy.
Thanks in advance!

Can you go back into recovery mode? I don't have that device, so it would difficult for me to understand your situation completely. If you done a nandroid backup earlier, try to restore it (it was suggested by the op/bruno in that thread).
If not then try asking for help from bruno himself or other people in that thread, they can answer you in better way, because they might have passed from your situations earlier.

I own a samsung device, so I don't know much about htc. And I feel nandroid is only way you can unbrick a soft brick without PC. Still wait for others who own htc to answer you.

ROM "TheUltimatum"
Hi all at XDA, I LOVE THIS SITE!!! :good:
This is my first post, and for annoying, yet understandable, reasons I am forced to pose my question here. (feels a bit like putting a message in a bottle...)
I have just installed The Ultimatum ROM (with Metro UI & swapall kernal options) on my Galaxy ace. I guess as I live in France my language setting was automatically set to French. After setting it to my preffered English, I noticed that in the app draw the language for certain apps remained in French!!! I had the same issue with this rom's previous incarnation "WP-Remix" however, after an updade to the Launcher8 app through play store, the problem was solved. :highfive:
Whats weird is this: in this rom the Launcher8 app is not recognized by Google Play as being the Launcher8 app, and therefore, will NOT update. Is it a heavily modded version of launcher8? or is there a settings problem somwhere perhaps? Would repairing permissions, or something like that help play find the app, if so, by what method? Recoverey or Titanium? This ROM seems to have some quirks unique to it alone, and I would not want to fcuk somthin' up!
I hope this finds the right eyes, Any help would... well........help.
PS: Yes I know its not a huge problem, and yes I do speak French, its just annoying is all...

You can simply download the updated copy of the launcher8.apk from some other site. after that use any root exploring app like root explorer/es file maneger,( I hope you have root privilages on the rom you are using.) Just replace the old apk from /System/App folder of with updated one and set its permissions as (rw-r-r). You can also try fix permissions option from cwm recovery. Also you can find more help in your device's question and answers section.
You will be allowed to post in developement sections after you complete 10 posts. Make them helpful/cintributory to xda.
And you are most welcome here if you have any problems again.

Hi,
I can't post to the original thread - I don't have permission. I didn't do a backup because it said to do that if you didn't want to loose data and the phone is new and has no data. I tried holding the volume button and on button (is that recovery mode) and nothing happens.
What I don't understand is why the 'scatter file' appeared to be incomplete for the ROM (V3.1MOD (27-12-2012) ) and why the downloading stopped after the red bar.. I don't think I did anything wrong. Is there a problem with the scatter file, if so, there may be a lot of people wrecking their phones with this rom??
Still need help!
Hii, I have a htc touch pro 2.
My device doesn't seem to charge properly, when the phone is powered on and in use or not in use, the phone's battery stays the same.
When the device is turned off, it takes like 2 or 3 hours sometimes to charge it 30 % .
I tried a different usb cable, I got the same result.
Do you think the problem is in the battery or the charging port ?
P.S.: I have been using my battery for almost 2 years.

Its probably ur battery. Try using a new one. And check ur battery after removing it to see if its swollen.
And do u charge using a USB connection or by using a wall charger? Charging via USB is usually slower.

What do you mean?
If you are asking reasons, then there are many, like kernel issues, improper flashing of files etc. Try to explain your query.

[Completed] Unknown network error on downloading file

i have been looking for the repair/backup of my root on my Cherry Mobile Blaze 2.0 cause i accidentally full unrooted it using SuperSU application, and then i found this site. and i feel so lucky that it has the most normal/simple tutorial on how to root my device again . and when i download the file about 400++mb, it only says Unknown Network Error, and i tried it for about 4 times. the picture is attached on this thread.
Note : my network is all well, honestly i just downloaded other file from google drive too, and everything is perfect.. so i thnk its not the net.
This is what i want to download .. (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746658) <-- remove parenthesis
PLEASE HELP ME... I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AND ROOT MY PHONE AGAIN..
FOLLOW-UP QUESTION
is it possible to reroot my phone from this procedure.
Well even if you've lost root on your current ROM, that doesn't matter as long as you have a custom recovery like CWM. If you know how then just flash that ROM, but being as you have no device specific forum you should post your question in the thread you linked me.
If you didn't understand any of that, then follow this guide HERE. Good luck.
the one you link to me is for CM Flame 2.0, my unit is Blaze 2.0, is that the same ?
im sorry for being noob but i dont know have any familiarity on the term ur giving me . you mean if i have my CWM on my Recovery mode .. i can just click that and then *bang* im rooted again with my system being reset ?
Thanks for your time and effort on helping me ! i'll expect a reply. TY

The zip is just a generic superSU update zip. It sounds like you have a recovery in which to flash the superSU zip anyway, so yes you may just be able to follow that guide. It won't break anything if it doesn't work though. If you need any further help then you should post in the Android Q&A section. Good luck
sir, i just found out that i have what u called CWM in recovery mode. does it help.

I can't give you technical help (read the 2 stickies), although I'll answer you once and say yes it helps: I highly recommend you read up on stuff abour custom recoveries, kernels, etc. To gain better understanding. I've given you a guide to follow HERE and directed you to the correct place to post further questions HERE. If you are still in doubt despite reading carefully through the first link then you should post in the second link where there are many more helpful members who may even have experience with your exact device.

Where is my SuperSU zip on TWRP?

Hi, I'm quite new to rooting and stuff like that but I watched a very helpful video on how to root a HTC One Mini (M4) as I have one myself. Everything was clear and I followed the steps precisely but when I had to save my SuperSu to my phone (via the pc) I couldn't find it back after I entered my recovery (TWRP). On all the videos about rooting they could go to recovery, click on install, scroll down and then they could click on the zip but I just can't find it.
Is there anyone who kwnows where the zip could be or is there anyone who knows what the problem is?
Thank you!
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For more replies or questions you must register an account on XDA forums.
Stand by
Good luck

Upgraded to OOS 10 without removing root/twrp/modules

hi,
I upgraded my phone to OOS10 and forgot to take precautionary measures. Now I don't have TWRP or root. I tried patching my own boot image and even tried the patched ones but the phone refuses to boot.
At this point I'm willing to try and return my phone to how it came from factory and start from scratch. What is the best way to do so with clean slots a and b and locked bootloader and take it from there?
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Apologies for posting in the wrong section, can I please ask a mod to move this to the Question section?

There is the .70 version of TWRP and you can boot the image and then flash full TWRP and Magisk.
