What is eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity Emblem? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This process is important? I was deleting SuperSU and in says that if I delete SuperSU I will delete this file too...

If you're unrooting, you don't need to keep it.

Ok, thanks.
There is a way to see if there is any modifications to the system's file?

There's an OTA checker flashable zip in general I think.

No, not in the ota, I say in general, if I want just to control of there is any modifications without flash anything

There is only one way. By flash the OTA checker zip in custom recovery. It can be found in the general forum I believe.

Ok, so I have to flash this with flashify (rooted with towelroot)
After the flash I'll have to unroot the phone and just install Lollipop with the ota?

Flash what with Flashify?
I think the best bet for you is to read the thread about root / update in my signature. OTA is proving too troublesome. I can't hand hold you through the whole process.

I mean the zip checker

I already told you.

Ok, I've read your thread about how to upgrade to Lollipop the Nexus.
The fact is that my main pc have no working USB ports, so if I want to unlock the bootloader and stuff like this I have to use my second pc, and it is very slow (the last time to just fastboot a factory image it tooks me one hour of suffering).
I think that the method 2b is the one that is closest to my situation:
1. Unlock bootloader if necessary (This wipes data)
2. Accept OTA update
3. Fastboot flash a custom recovery image (of your choice)
4. Fastboot flash a custom boot.img (@Chainfire for basic root, @sykopompos for full permissive mode)
5. Flash from recovery, SuperSU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't want root, so:
2. Accept OTA update
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I have understood, the only thing that I have to do is use flashify to flash the OTA checker zip. file and than proceed with the OTA, right?
If there is another way to do this without use the PC, it will be great, but I don't know.
Is what I said right or I forgot something?
Thank you with your help anyway!

This is what you mean?
If yes, I can't flash with a custom recovery because I have the stock recovery (because I'm rooted with only Towelroot, so stock recovery and locked bootloader)

Then you can't use it! Wait for the OTA and install it.

I already have the OTA, but I think that there could be some issues, this is why I want to check if everything it's good, I don't want to brick/bootloop the device

The stock recovery does not look for a zip on the device without a command file telling it there is one present to flash.

The OTA process works with TWRP but reloads stock recovery AND removes root. No problem getting both back through the usual methods.

I'm going to say some things not to be mean or rude but to keep you out of trouble. It is not installing because you do not know what you are doing and have not taken the initiative to learn some basics for yourself. Except for the fact you are not on the correct ROM to install this update in the first place, I would say losing root and TWRP would be the best thing for now.
You are going screw up your device and have no idea how to fix it yourself or even what information to provide for others to help you fix it. Your best bet would to be restoring to stock with a factory image and not screw around until you are up to speed.
There are ton of FAQ's and guides on this site in the general sections. Learn how to install and use ADB and fastboot. Read up on the different types up zip files and how they are installed. If you are using a one click, understand what ADB or fastboot commands are going on behind the scenes and exactly what it is pushing to your device.
Once you have a general understanding of things, please come and play around as much as you want. If you do something that causes a bootloop you will at least know how to recover your device.

A 5.4Mb recovery is not going to fit in a 1.4Mb zip file. Also see post 3, 4 and 8. Root and TWRP or CWM will remain intact. Bad information is worse than no information.

Not trying to give bad info just relating my personal experience. You are correct that a full recovery image file at 5.4mb could not fit, even zipped, in a 1.4mb update, however, a full recovery image file is not needed to change the behavior of things. Root and the ability to boot back into TWRP were lost during my update process. It was easily corrected but it did happen. Others have reported a different experience. That was mine.

[Q]Reflash stock rom

Is there any tool that will reinstall the stock rom on a Nexus 5 with LOCKED bootloader? Something like emergency reflash from LG Support Tool.

Well if you modify any system files you don't get the ota. Your best bet is to root and then flash a custom recovery with flashify and then flash a stock rom zip that will be created shortly after any updates come out. You can also unlock the bootloader without wiping data with boot unlocker after your rooted.

There's a whole sticky on returning to stock so you can get OTAs. </thread>
If you're able to flash the stock ROM, you should be past the point where you need to worry about being able to get any updates.
Yeah. I'd highly recommend just flashing a prerooted busybox stock ROM. You can always do a dirty flash over stock ROM and still keep data.

You do get the OTA, but if you modify /system/ or something else, the OTA won't install.
It takes 10 minutes to return to stock for an OTA. Just do what you want with the phone now and enjoy!
The next OTA will be months from now. Return to stock then.
You dont need any tool. Download factory image and flash that by executing flash-all.bat (for windows, if you use linux execute flash-all.sh). Flash a custom recovery. Then remove hidden tampered flag by flashing tampered flag remover zip. Then flash stock recovery and lock bootloader by typing fastboot oem lock.

Pardon the ignorance. Just found out that flashing a zip file and installing apps from play store are 2 different things.
Well my bootloader is locked and neither do i have a custom recovery installed. So flashing doesnt seem to be an option right now.. If i am not missing anything.
Are you running 5.0? If so how the heck did you root with towelroot? AFAIK you can not root 5.0 that way. Maybe that is a problem.

of course there is a way to root 5.0.1.
use fastboot to either flash a custom recovery (TWRP is probably your best bet), or use fastboot to just boot into the custom recovery without flashing. Either way, once your in recovery, flash SuperSU (download here http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip)
done and done.

actually, it does work. with 5.0.1, I'm rooted. Except when I flashed 5.0.1, SuperSU v2.40 hadn't yet been released, so I rooted with SuperSU v2.37, and then updated via the playstore when 2.40 came out. but it definitely works with Lollipop.
p.s. you need to have an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery (which is what I suggested doing). So in fact, my suggestion is completely valid and 100% relevant. In fact, I had assumed that you already had an unlocked bootloader when I posted.

yes, and the way to "manually re-root" is to flash the ZIP in a custom recovery. You the app installed, but not the SU binary. So flash it in TWRP.

CF Auto Root and flashing the superSU2.40.zip in recovery both root android 5(0.1/0.2). Did it myself and confirming root access.
You can root with the same chainfires files for 5.0, and then you can update supersu and twrp

He's just a school kid, but you'd hope he would learn from his attitude, but apparently not.
What's worse, is he isn't even picking up the knowledge that people give him or reading the stickies. He's been Here pretty much a year in the n5 forum and cannot even be bothered to.understand the basics. Asks the most basic questions every time.

NOOB flashing question (sorry!!)

Hi, is this correct .... I am coming from 5.0.1 stock rooted with twrp and I want to update to stock rooted 5.1
Do I :
1) download the 5.1.zip
2) clear cache +dalvik (I want to keep my data) and flash
3) reboot....
Or do I have to flash the radio and boot loader as well (I'm not sure what they do?!!)
And how do I obtain root access??(flash the superuser zip?!!?)
PS. This is from vomers thread...I don't know if I need to flash the superuser and radio/boot loader:

Hi, is this correct .... I am coming from 5.0.1 stock rooted with twrp and I want to update to stock rooted 5.1
Do I :
1) download the 5.1.zip
2) clear cache +dalvik (I want to keep my data) and flash
3) reboot....
Or do I have to flash the radio and boot loader as well (I'm not sure what they do?!!)
And how do I obtain root access??(flash the superuser zip?!!?)
PS. This is from vomers thread...I don't know if I need to flash the superuser and radio/boot loader:

Hi,
I would say that you are in the right way. And, as rohit25 said you need to install the bootloader and radio images. The bootloader is the software responsible for launch the kernel and bring up your phone. The radio images i think it controls basic low level functions like GPS, network connectivity and WI-FI. To your final question, yes, you will need to install super user again.

wifi is a kernel module. not part of the RIL, iirc.

Yes, that is true.
Just fastboot the bootloader, radio and system img's, then boot into recovery and wipe cache and dvalik, far easier.

you would think so, but i didn't realize until after i looked at another post that the link i posted only did the radio and not the bootloader as well, and low and behold... my phone worked perfectly fine on the 5.0 bootloader.
But i did flash the bootloader + radio later and noticed no difference.
