Yes but that is the spot where the screen is not respinding... So i cant click the right numbers for the code..

I hope you got a Backup.
You can boot into recovery and delete cache and dalvik.
If this does not help, try a factory reset. If this still does not work you might need to flash the latest image using Fastboot.
There is a tut here in the forum

If he has a hardware problem (which it looks like he does) none of that is going to help.

Looks like you really like me, ha!
Anyway, he should at least try to fix it. The above won't take longer then 40 minutes. If it still does not work there is still the option of RMA

Yeah, it's worth a try, but we can almost positively say it's a hardware fault.

Nexus 5 touchscreen stopped working.

Hello,
My Xperia Z broke and I sold it. Last week I bought a Nexus 5 (white) and yesterday the touchscreen suddenly stopped working while browsing twitter. I rebooted and the touchscreen worked for 1 sec and then it stopped working again. It keeps working for 1 - 5 sec and then stops.
Is there a way I can fix this? The phone is rooted because I wanted to copy WhatsApp over from another phone because I lost my sim bound to whatsapp.
I can go to the shop I bought it and get it fixed under warranty because I did not do anything weird with the phone nor dropped it. but first I want to see if it can be fixed from home or if it is a software problem because the shop is a hour drive and I don't want to do without my phone for another 2 weeks.
Here is a video how it looks: youtube(dot)com/watch?v=EsSyC50Dksw
Thanks in advance!

[Q] My Nexus 5's Cyanogen Isn't Updating.

Hey!
It's really hard to explain my issue, but I'll try my best.
So here it goes..
My Nexus 5 keeps telling me I have a system update to download and install, so I wait for it to download and then it tells me to install the update from CM-Hammerhead-46e2abd61c to 1f023a4eca-signed.
It shows the Install update option right below, and everything seems fine till now.
When I press this Install update button, it reboots the phone, shows me an android popped open and something indicating that there're being changes which are not shown in normal reboots ofc.
The phone reboots and start, tells me it;s optimizing apps since I use Android Run-time Cache instead of Dalvik.
Now the issue is, it's not updated at all.
It shows me the same Cyan and Android version, 4.4.2 and 46e2abd61c, and when I check for update, it shows me the same thing that I have to update from CM-Hammerhead-46e2abd61c to 1f023a4eca-signed.
I tried this like 10 times and it happens over and over again.
This is bugging me for like a day now.
Any solutions to this?
Thanks.

Try to download the latest update on your PC and flash it on your phone and if that doesn't work change recoveries.

Guess they've updated it recently then. This certainly was not the case recently, because Phil threads often get asked why it doesn't work and teh answer is the /sdcard/0.
Who knows, Maybe CM finally saw the light, 12 months after everyone else? I wont hold my breath though. Until very recently, it only worked in CWM. It was written that way

Dunno. Omni says OpenDelta only works with TWRP: http://omnirom.org/general/opendelta-brings-incremental-system-updates-omni/
I've never used Delta since I build my ROMs myself
Edit: CyanDelta seems to be 3rd party, not CyanogenMod's version of OpenDelta. Does the same thing though, I guess using TWRP is most likely to work for this? But you say it only worked in CWM.. so I have no idea lol

The whole thing came about where when 4.2 came out, they moved /sdcard from /data/media/ to /data/media/0. CWM left it as /data/media - which even today, is why you cant see your nandroids taken with CWM in /sdcard
So what the updater app did was put in the updater-script /sdcard/0 as the path, leaving the /data/media mountpoint in CWM in tact... In Philz and TWRP, you would see the error in recovery log (cannot find /sdcard/0/whatever.zip) because on proper recoveries, that is actually /data/media/0/0/whatever.zip).
So Kudos if they changed it to support real recoveries instead of legacy, antiquated CWM builds.

Yeah, it's probably something related to that.. Several people I know had related issues with certain recoveries and complained about it. Solution was using a different recovery lol
Anyways, if it doesn't work for the OP in one recovery he can try another.

Worst case, just flash the factory image. Stay on stock if you don't know why you flashed twrp and a custom kernel.

Flashfire forcecloses.

I downloaded the Flashfire apk in hopes I'd be able to flash from my phone without recovery and every time I try going into the app, it instantly force closes. Has this happened to anyone else?
It's probably because your bootloader is unlocked.
Honestly though I haven't heard of this.
I'm assuming you have the latest version and that you are rooted correct?
Has it worked at all on your setup?
Have you tried factory resetting, installing, and trying?
Maybe this might help someone who is more capable of helping than I am.

Have the latest version and I'm rooted. I've tried multiple times. Ah, I guess I'll just continue trying.
No issue with stock rooted.
No good. I knew one of the last 3 updates had a force close issue on 64 bit fixed. Was hoping it was that easy. Hopefully someone else will pop in for ya

There is one thing you might try. Delete the app. Go to your root folder data/data and delete the eu.chainfire.flash folder. Download and install the app again and see if it works.

What's the reason it's stuck on the logo? Did you do something like attempt root or anything?
If you haven't done anything to cause it did you try performing a factory reset?
It could be a hardware issue or battery problem if you didn't do anything to cause the stuck on LG logo problem.

So with the phone off you've tired holding down vol up and power or vol down and power to attempt to factory reset? Your phone doesn't need to boot into the OS to factory reset it...
Also normally this doesn't happen unless it's a hardware issue since you didn't do anything to cause it.
Was the device running MM? If so you need to use LGUP. Lg flashtools 2014 won't work if your running MM 6.0.
Just check out the general section there's a back to stock guide with links to firmwares.

Yes. Just place your phone in download mode.
If your phone still does the same after flashing it's either your battery or a hardware failure.

Just search the forum and YouTube for lg g flex 2 bootloop and you'll see. I was in the same situation as well and that helped. I replaced it multiple times and I even baked the motherboard in the oven. Just the battery was the issue and thank God nothing worse. And the battery is like 10$ so not too much. Hope you fix it.
