nexus 5 stock rom help - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys so I recently got my nexus 5, messed around with a few roms but now I wanna go back to stock, well I downloaded the rom and before I reset my phone I forgot to transfer it, Iv got linux mint so i quicky downloaded adb, im trying to sideload the file and everything worked great expect this line comes up wile trying to install. E: cant open /tmp/update.zip (bad)
IM running clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.5.
Can anyone help? my phones a paper weight now ):
p.s when installing I used adb push files dic and file name, (yes i made sure they where correct)

You obviously know how to restore with Fastboot, or you wouldn't be flashing ROMs in the first place

As mentioned, returning to stock needs fastboot. All guides are in general. Not hard to find.

Why would you need to install the SDK?
Adb and fastboot are in the repos

Custom ROM Issue?

Okay I'll summarise this as best as I can, I'm new to Android but not to computers and Linux. I got a china 7" Telechips 8901 Tablet 2.1 and I decided to install the custom Rom on Team Telechips website, I know I should have backed up The Stock ROM but I didn't, After installing the Rom it turned out to be Cyanogenmod and everything was fine except that the touch screen was opposite. So I thought what the hell I might as well try the second ROM on the team telechips website which was HSG-X5A one and now the Tablet doesn't start up anymore, It just shows the Logo and goes blank, I had Clockworkmod in there but I can't boot into the the recovery console, Nothing happens when hold those two buttons. So I tried using ADB from windows to boot into it but nothing happens. I can back up the Stock ROM from somebody else's Tablet but if since can't enter the recovery how can I install it. When I tried to adb push anything into nand, it says can not copy, read-only.
Help me please
I feel you may have bricked your device because you installed roms on top of roms. Did you wipe anything before installing these custom roms?
Welcome to forums
Moved to proper section, please read the forum rules before posting.
Yeah I kinda guessed that. No I did not wipe anything before the update. Is there anyway out of this? I can't seem to access the nand and sdcard through adb.

Okay I was able to use adb to wipe everything. What to do next?
Now if I do anything all I keep getting is exec 'system/bin/sh' failed no such file or directory (2)
Did you run a wipe through recovery and did not just delete files through adb?
Sounds like it is looking for a system file that got deleted. Was this after you tried reinstalling the rom?

No I don't have access to recovery. I ran the wipe all through adb wipe all. Now even after I wiped everything I still don't have access to recovery. How do I now install the system file? All I can use is adb and I have the zip file for the rom.
Also it seems that the /system folder is all I have access to via adb after remount. Is there anything or any file(s) I can push in there as to be able to then enter recovery and install the rom?
whats really going on?
hello, i'm new here and know im not suppose to be posting this here but but i need to post something 10x before i can post where i really want to. i really want to be able to post in the epic 4g asc ics thread.. really good rom no problems for me.the only thing missing is the theme from 3.5. im on 4.0 and having trouble pushing the apk's. i have a question,should i continue to figure out how to push or just wait for an update?
I'm so proud of myself right now, I was able to do this using the FWDN tool. It's the best, Once you know how to use it, there is really nothing it can't do. I learned how to use it with this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1c88qu7JI.
Best of luck to whoever has this problem as well now or in the future.

[How to] Root and Flash custom roms

This thread is just to direct all the noobs into the right direction, related to root and flash new roms in the Inspire 4G.
[*]Rooting and reverting to stock
Due to the retirement of the Hack Kit, rooting methods have been reduced to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
or if you are skilled in using adb and fastboot commands:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
If you are still stuck and want to revert your phone back to out of the box, then use Marsdta's Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
or Gene Poole's Tool (that will revert also S-OFF):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
[*]Flashing a Custom Rom
To flash a custom rom you need to be rooted and S-OFF (if u used the Hack Kit) or have and unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV tool (wich I don't suggest)
Once u are S-OFF and have CWM or some other custom recovery installed (I personally prefer 4ext) you have to follow these steps (read the dev's thread about particularities. This is just a general guide on how to do it):
Download the custom rom .zip file and put it in your sdcard. Make sure that u check md5sum first just to avoid bootloops.
Reboot phone in recovery. There are many ways to do that, the first can be using Rom Manager (I don't suggest using it for anything else but that) and choosing reboot in recovery option. The second way is to boot in bootloader (press power down and reboot choosing hboot) or just turn phone off and power it up pressing power and volume down. And the last is to use adb commands. Plug the phone as charge only with usb debugging on, open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in your PC and then type adb reboot recovery.
Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.
When full wipe is finished, go to flash zip from sdcard option, choose zip file and then flash that file.
Reboot the phone once it has finished flashing and wait for the device to fully reboot. The first boot will take a while (probably longer than usual) so don't get scared.
If you flashed a CM based rom, you need to flash google apps separately as well, so find the gapps file corresponding to your rom and flash it in the same manner as above described.
Trouble Shooting
Bootloops: If your phone repeats over and over the bootanimation, don't panic, you are not bricked. Something must have gotten wrong but you can reboot in recovery and re flash the rom as previously described. If bootloop is still there, then try downloading the zip again or choose a diffrent rom.
Factory Reset: If you factory reset the phone and you are not stock, then the phone won't have a rom...you will get stuck in the splash screen (white screen with the green HTC). Just do as described above, get a rom to the sdcard and then flash it. You are not bricked, you are just stuck
Well, this was just to try to point you in the right direction. If you think that I missed something, feel free to tell me and will add it to the OP.....Salud! :good:

To help your thread going however 'slightly' off topic it may be, but since you did mention adb, I finally managed to get apk multi tool and sdk manager installed, and with a slight hiccup getting the adb to recognize my device (I started all of this last night), I believe I have everything I need?
Now I need to learn what I can do with those.
All of this would have taken me half the time if I were 15 again

hahaha...ummmm you shouldn't have problems. Just install SDK and apk multi tool in the SDK>tools folder or somewhere else. Then from command prompt you should be able to run the commands for the apk multi tool. I use the apktool and I have no problem at all. The main thing is to have adb installed...but there's no need to have the phone plugged to use the apk tool.
In the case of your device, make sure that u have the HTC drivers installed, if you have HTC Sync, you should have them...to try that just plug the phone as charge only, make sure that usb debugging is on and then open a cmd as admin and type adb devices...you should see your HTCserialnumber....
I didn't know I didn't need to have the cell plugged in, nice to know.
I had done all of that and it was working.... IT WAS WORKING , I decided to move a few folders around, something got messed up, tried placing them where they were, still no go, it's not recognizing my device anymore.
Don't worry, I'll figure it out eventually, but the problem is my head is going to start hurting any minute now. I'll be back shortly to ask you something you mentioned and I've read which I simply don't get - well, maybe not as shortly as I would like.
Edit: whenever I run the adb devices command it has to be done withing the folder where the adb.exe is located, right?
2nd edit: found it and it's working.
To run the adb devices command, which means going to that specific folder, would be seperate from using the apk tool? Would have moving the folders around somehow messed up the way apk tool would work? Im not even sure if im asking the right question
3rd edit: when you said to install the apk tool and sdk in the same folder, well, I already installed both of them to the default location.... what do you mean by that? Should I move them if they are not there? And if I may ask why?

What I did, that doesn't mean that is the correct way.... I installed SDK and in the tools folder I installed the apktool. You don't need to be in that folder to run the adb command...I don't do it that way...I just run the command from where I am...

Give precise answers to those two questions first.
Without precise DETAILS nobody will want or be able to help you.
As I said... Im not sure which root method I did. I tried a couple before it worked. I tried a one click but it wouldn't work and then I tried another page I going on deal to root a nexus s 4G. It said it was rooted but Su wouldn't give permissions. It was working and I tried to flash clockword mod recovery and during that flash it went dark and never lit up again. I never tried to flash a ROM was going to stay stock but rooted.

[SOLVED] Did I brick?

Hey everyone,
So I think I may have done something strange and i'm not sure how to fix it. Long story short, screen cracked, so I bought a new one and I used TWRP to backup my original phone. So now, i'm just trying to unlock and root, you know, the usual. BTW, I tried using ABD/Fastboot, which I never typically do, but I heard it was more efficient and whatnot so I thought I try. I think the unlocking of the bootloader went well. And I even think I flashed recovery properly. But when I tried to access recovery, it prompted me for a password.
I read on the TWRP site I was supposed to let the phone boot as normal before accessing recovery. Oops. So I tried formatting all the data on the phone and no I have no OS or any files to recover from and adb push keeps giving me "Device not found" and now I don't know what to do.
Help?
EDIT: In case anyone has this issue searching threads, I just used Wug Toolkit to flash everything back to stock and then used the same Toolkit to unlock and root. TWRP isn't going to recognize a backup from a different phone. To my understanding, there is a way around that, but I didn't look into it. Oh, and apparently, don't flash the EFS partition lol

OK!
So, I used the Wug toolkit to basically flash everything to stock, and then root it. I installed TWRP using the app and I tried using the app to restore from my earlier back up. So, it boots into recovery but nothing happened. Looking at the log, it says the TWRP isn't able to locate the files. Trying to just restore from recovery isn't helpful because when I hit "Restore" nothing pops up. As if the SDCard partition isn't being accessed. I can't see any of the files in any directory. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you put the backup on the root of the sdcard? I think it needs to be in the TWRP folder. You should first make a backup of your current rom even if it's stock rooted.

Someone explained to me TWRP won't recognize a backup with a serial number from a different phone. So essentially, I will just have to forego it.

No image wronge image is not your problem. That simply means you don't have an RUU file on your SD card. The bootloaderr checks each time you enter it looking for an RUU file because that's how it flashes them.
fastboot flash TWRP. Boot the phone into TWRP (recovery). Copy the rom you intended to use to your SD card/internal storage. Flash that rom in TWRP.

thanks for the assistance. I'm not quite sure what I should do. I'm in recovery / install and I have two files in there, Android_revolution_HD_one_M8_43.0.zip
and ElementalX-m8-0.4-Sense.zip
I've tried installing both (flash=install, no?) but I run into the same issue.

I tried flashing "Android_revolution_HD_one_M8_43.0.zip"
but I get the same end result. If that's what you mean. I'm not really sure. If not, how do I flash anything if the phone doesn't seem to show up on my computer where all my hard drives are. Can I do it through the command prompt?
I'm totally lost, I tried googling what you said but a whole bunch of super complicated stuff shows up. I'm gonna need to take some baby steps here. What file exactly am I flashing and how?
