Hi, I was running Lollypop with franco kernel on my Nexus 5. I wanted to change my rom but sadly i wiped the cache, system and dalvik without copying the rom I had to flash into my nexus. I have a TWRP. Windows doesn't recognize my nexus and if i try to install throught my otg cable i got an error who says E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path *hammerhead image.zip*
What can I do?
You need to get windows to detect your device.
Go to my adb and fastboot thread (general > sticky roll-up) and install the universal drivers.

When I plug my nexus in my pc it says aosp hammehead in Device Manager, but when I try to update my drivers it says it's impossible to find them (I obviusly followed the guide and copied them in c:adb)
Aosp hammerhead when booted into recovery?
Yes, I didn't turn off my phone or reboot it since the wipe because when I try to do it TWRP says No Os installed! are you sure yuoi wish to reboot?
Turn MTP mode on in TWRP
Ok now I can see my nexus, I tried to copy the image there but I still get E:Mount error
Where is the error?
In the prhone when I go in the TWRP->Install->choose the hammeread zip image->Swipe to confirm flash-> it gives that error and says failed
What exactly are you copying to the phone?
image-hammerhead-lrx22c, who I found in hammerhead-lrx22c-factory-0f9eda1b, which I downloaded from google

That's not a flashable ROM.zip
If you want a stock, recovery flashable ROM to flash, go to general > sticky roll-up > section 6 - resources and download a flashable zip by vomer
I see, so I have to dowload the rom, the Rom, the radio and superSU, then flash them in the same order, right?

Just ROM and if you want root, yes SuperSU. Not really sure what end result you're looking for. Flash radio of you like.
As you probably understood, It's my first time doing that. Well, second, but the other time I had a friend with me. What I want to do is first of all get my phone working again, and hopefully that should do the trick. Then I'd like to install a custom kernel (ElementalX) and that's pretty much all I want.

You'll be fine with this, I'm confident.
I hope so! In 4 minutes I'll have the N5_LRX22C.zip, wich I will flash. To be sure, correct me if I'm wrong, I have to Install throught the TWRP, than flash supersu and in the end install the kernel zip from the recovery, right?
Yes, you can flash supersu after the kernel and I'm sure it will work (some kernels require supersu to be flashed after and reflashed every time you update kernel)

Elemental X will be fine though so as long as ROM goes first, rest is fine...
Oh OP, ensure you have latest SuperSU beta
Thank you both! I've done it all! Thank you very much, you pretty much saved my night.

Help. i have a sumsung nexus s (crespo).. i was able to download and install android version 4.3... works great yay... root is now not working,,, how do i root my device ,, haven't been able to find any new info. any advice?
Same problem here. Wiped data, format /system, flashed rom, flashed addons, changed root access through developer options, changed it through superuser, still the same. Any suggestions?

ok good !
guys, any chance you could be a bit more clear on what you did? I've tried a few things now and nothing's working:
- tried Superuser app from play store, doesn't work, says I need to update binaries, which it doesn't do, looked for info on how to fix, nothing that helpful around.
- tried Chainfire's SuperSU 1.4.3 from app store as per advice here (http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...n-but-chainfires-supersu-works-and-heres-why/), didn't work, says SU binary needs to be updated, neither 'normal' (installation failed) nor 'twrp/cwm' (doesn't reboot. don't know what to do once i'm in recovery) works. I have CWM.
- I've installed superuser.zip from CWM recovery mode
- I've downloaded & put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip in my SD card root but trying to install it from CWM fails, from either zip or sideload.
I'm using SlimBean ROM 1.4.3beta 2
Thanks

You need to flash superuser.ZIP. look the post of Cyanogen ROM 10.2

hi okopop, thanks for this.
So, just to be 100% clear:
1. you installed TWRP manager from here ?
2. Then you used TWRP in INSTALL "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip"
3. Then... anything else?
4. Did this change your ROM?
5. Did this restore you to factory settings?
6. Will it work with SlimBean ROM?
Thanks!!

1. Think i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034264 I did not install TWRP from google play, used fastboot commands and .img if i remember correctly.
2. I boot the phone into TWRP then install the .zip, yes.
3. Well i unlocked the boot loader before that. See link in 1.
4. Nope
5. I have always restored to factory settings before installing a new rom and after that supersu. I think i forgot to run it one time and ran it afterwards and it worked great.
6. No idea, try it! Only tried vanilla 4.3
gl mate, let me know if you get it to work!

Np!
Its running very quick and smooth, no lag.
Every vanilla 4.3 rom i have tried have had problems with the camera in different ways and other weird stuff with lock screen etc.
But those were ports from nexus 4 and others i think.
Then i found this one:

I have like 140Mb+ free memory when i boot the device but i have chat apps that eat my memory, would have been nice with some more memory, else, im very happy with 4.3 on my nexus s. Feels like new phone.
First thought about CM or Slimbean but when i got this i dont think i will change. I like it standard and clean

I dont have that many apps running and have disabled alot of goolgle stuff that i dont use. Currents, play books, google+,hangouts, news&weather and so on. Got rid of alot of apps i didnt use when i finally changed to this rom. Maybe that plays in on the huge free memory, nevertheless try it out, if you dont like it go back to slim. It is better to have tried than to have never tried at all...
Sorry to bother you again dude, that new link has thrown up a mini confusion!
Lafrick's vanilla ROM suggests:
Installation steps:
Boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Install aosp_crespo-jb43-v0.5.zip
Install gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Install superuser.zip
Reboot
Wait (first boot will take some time)

Massive effort sorting out the drivers for some reason, but finally sorted. You're the boss, have a great day dude!
First of all, I have been reading this forum for about two weeks and just registered in order to get some help as I do not want to break my one week old nexus 5.
From my reading, the updates can be done in quite different ways and because of that I want to be sure what I should do.
I started by:
- root the mobile with cf-auto root. It did everything for me, got the superuser icon automatically
- installed clockwork mod and I have the custom recovery. By the way, I made a backup with it but where was it written? I want to copy it to my pc.
- other than that, I have installed some root only apps like rom manager, greenify, root Explorer, etc. I supported those developers with purchase. Those guys deserve it.
Anyway, i am looking for the safe way to update to 4.4.1. I read some members saying they lost root after the update, others lost something else (I am referring to the thread on nexus 5 general forum).
Can you help me? What path shall I go? Thanks a lot.
To update you'll basically have to go back to stock in a way. By that I mean you can either flash the System.img file from the Factory Image and then update using the update files for 4.4.1 by flashing it in recovery (via Sideload) and then just root again. OR you can install an updated "Stock" 4.4.1 image from the development section and root that.

i sense i am getting somewhere but how do i do that? i am new to this and been reading a lot but the first time all seems very vague. i need a little more help from you!
lets assume i want to just apply the 4.4.1 update (maybe this is the easiest way for now). how do i do it?
also, after the update succeds, i need to root again correct? what happens to all the apps i have right now with root permissions? do they stop working until i root again and give them root privileges again? can i use the cf auto root again?
also, i am on ART, i thought of letting you know since that can cause some problems updating(??)

If you want to apply the new update it all depends on your current setup. I gave you vague options because I don't know what you've done to your phone. If you've only rooted and not changed any of the files in system then it's easy to just flash the update with the recovery. You can download the update and then start recovery (look it up). Once in recovery start ADB sideload and connect to your PC (this assumes you already have working ADB, if not.... look it up ). To sideload you just need to adb sideload filename.zip. You can probably use WugFresh's Toolkit to also sideload but I generally don't use those so dunno what they do these days. Much easier to learn and understand what it does then do it yourself.
If you have a custom recovery you might just be able to flash the update with the recovery like you normally flash any zip in recovery.

thanks for the reply. i am reading on the adb sideload right now... i already have the update zip inside the platform tools. however, in the command prompt, it says my device is unauthorized (i have both the usb debugging and unknown sources ticked). the nexus 5 is connected as MTP.
any clues?
about what i have done to my nexus, i applied the cf autoroot, installed clockwork mod... nothing much besides some play store apps..
as for this paragraph:

You do it from Recovery. So just copy the file to the phone in some folder. You can't update the phone with it running. So reboot to CWM and then choose Install from ZIP then find the file on your storage and then choose update. That may or may not work as I said depending.

yes, i have been reading those topics and many others.. i managed to solve the adb device unauthorized anyway. just flashed the 4.4.1 zip file under clockwork mod recover.. android is upgrading at the moment. lets see if everything is work as it should.
No need to sideload adb bla bla..
copy the OTA zip into the phone, and just flash it in CWM (install file from internal storage).. 1 minute and done.
You'll get error status 7 at checking if you changed something in system (apart from rooting), else you shouldn't have any problem.

yes, everything is fine. 4.4.1 loaded fine without any errors. i have root checker and when i tested, it says i do not have proper root access. i also lost my clockwork mod recovery.
i am now checking into it to see what needs to be done to gain root access again and get the custom recovery as it was before the update.

You need to flash the recovery again via fastboot (youll lose it every time, unless you flash the flashable recovery ZIP just after flashing the OTA and before rebooting the phone).You'll have this problem every OTA unless you flash the zipped version everytime.
I'd recommend the easy way to root, get the SuperSU binaries and flash them through the custom recovery and you're done..

You'd only be looking for the supersu binaries, since you already have the recovery IMG from te previous time, right? (the one that you need for fastboot).
EDIT: Yes, IMG files are for fastboot, ZIP files for recovery.

That's the stock recovery, you can't do nothing from there.
You need to flash the recovery via fastboot (didn't you do that the first time to get your custom recovery..?)

EDIT: Yes, IMG files are for fastboot, ZIP files for recovery.

That's the stock recovery, you can't do nothing from there.
You need to flash the recovery via fastboot (didn't you do that the first time to get your custom recovery..?)

I'd recommend the easy way to root, get the SuperSU binaries and flash them through the custom recovery and you're done..

from where can i get the flashable clokwork mod recovery zip file?
i am going to apply the 4.4.2 update now and will be doing it this way:
from the recovery apply the 4.4.2 zip. after this apply the supersu zip. i want to install the custom recovery zip too so when the phone restarts everything will be configured. is this possible?

well, it seems i haven't lost my custom recovery. was it because i installed the supersu before rebooting?
My Nexus 5 is rooted. It downloaded the 4.4.3 update. It tries to restart and Team Win Recovery opens. I enter my password and it decrypts the data andI get the Team Win Recovery options. I don't see where to install the update from though?
I manually downloaded it from the link and I'm not seeing where Chrome put it either.
What am I missing? I'm certain I'm in the right folder which is downloads. It looks like it is only looking for a .zip file, but when I go to file viewer it looks like it downloaded a .tar.
How do I just tell the system to install the file it downloaded?
You need the OTA update. Sounds like you downloaded the full image. AP has the links.

I'm running the stock ROM and I am only running Xposed
ETA - I searched and found a link here. Is this what I need? http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/03/download-android-4-4-3-ota-update/
Now my pc won't see the Nexus 5 and I tried downloading the Nexus 5 USB driver for windows 8 and it's saying it's not the right one.
Have a read of this thread:

It lists many different scenarios whereby you need to do different things depending on how your phone is loaded up for the update.

I uninstalled Xposed from apps. I went to try to redownload the update, but it now says my phone is up to date but it's running 4.4.2
Now that I have xposed uninstalled, when the update is shown again (or hopefully I can force it since I'm sure it downloaded it and stored it somewhere) will it just run the update properly? Or is it still going to boot into team win and then not do anything?

I just downloaded the .zip file that is the update using my phone. I went into Team Win and clicked on install. Went to downloads and it errors. I have tried downloading it and installing it 3x and it always says E: Error executing updater binary in zip'/sdcard Error flashing zip'/sdcard/download/filename
wiping the cache/dalvik does nothing

yup http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/flashable-stock-4-4-3-supersu-t2771010
you can try dirty flashing first, it should be fine. just make a backup in recovery beforehand, just in case.

How do I dirty flash it? I'm still not certain why I can't just run the update file I downloaded as it errors on me.

The dirty flash worked perfect. It seems that is the only file that I need? Since I did the 4xx MB ROM?
I wish Google would make it easy to update while rooted on the nexus phones. I'm only so smart
Hi folks, so, I received OTA update for my Moto G (XT1032).
Phone was rooted (I did unroot from SuperSU). Also, I've re-installed Stock recovery (to make sure) and wiped cache/dalvik.
But, update still fails.
I don't have much root-related soft (like Xposed etc) installed - so pretty sure this should not cause an issue.
But still, update fails.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot/make it work? Maybe installing OTA somehow from recovery (custom one, TWRP)?
Any comments - much appreciated. I guess I'm not alone in this, but still...
Thanks
Same problem here

Have to install stock ROM again then update it via ota. Could also try flashing an ota update file via the official recovery of your phone.

Yep, my guess was the same. As per official recovery - I'll try adb sideload, but first time it couldn't find phone (all drivers installed and up-to-date).

Well, I might misunderstood, but:
I have official recovery (fastboot is mode of it, I guess, when U press Power+volume key?)
I've read about adb sideload zip_name_of_OTA.zip
I don't know any other way to install OTA apart from let phone handle it OR adb sideload.

Just load it onto your phone before you flash it. Your ROM does work.

Got this, screenshot in attachment.
Fingerprints are wrong. In build.prop - I can see it's fine, fingerprint of current 4.4.4. - matches expected.
But as soon as update starts - it says that 4.4.2 is fingerprint of my OS. Bollocks.
Edited OTA zip, edited some metadata file...
Why it won't install on pretty clean phone - I can't understand...Previous installs of OTA went fine with root etc.

Greetings, I have the same problem, it is the last screen that appears when you install the update, and then restarts it goes off the screen update error ...
To anyone having issues:
1. Make sure you're on completely stock 4.4.4 (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and use only untouched 4.4.4 version for your phone if you have to reflash before continuing)
2. Make sure you're on stock recovery (Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763)
*Uninstall XPOSED if using it
3. I personally let update run on its own after reverting everything to stock.

Yeah, that's the better way.
But I guess, I can install Stock 5.* straight away after wiping? Why bother about OTA, if there is ROM available?

Yep.
The solution is backup data, restore stock last firmware using fastboot guide posted in this forum and not even update apps (cancel gmail registration and everything it asks when it first starts) ONLY update motorola update services so you can get the ota again an install it. If you have the ota downloaded you can flash it through recovery but using the last recovery version (.61) and of course last firmware version. If you guys flash it all through fastboot, it should install w/o any problems.
Hi all,
So I've been playing around with Sabermod. Tried to install it, but had to update bootloader. Did that, everything still worked fine. Then I tried to upgrade my Kernel with Beeto's kernel, which is downloadable in that post. I did that using this guide from XDA-University with CWM. Since I did that, my phone is stuck in a boot loop.
Every few minutes I see the "bootloader unlocked"-screen, with just a black screen in between.
Ok, I have just now been able to reboot back into CWM recovery by using ADB command line tools. But I have no idea where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rubb
Edit: I have the XT1039, also known as Peregrine
Edit: I fixed it!
So I think the problem was that I flashed the kernel made specifically for this ROM, but tried to reboot the phone before installing the ROM. I managed to get into recovery with adb, then I flashed the kernel again, I did a full wipe, flashed the ROM, flashed Gapps, rebooted the phone. And it worked.
Thanks _that for your help!
Try "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" to get the previous kernel log. Then install a working kernel (should be part of most ROMs).

Adb can't find my device now it is in recovery mode. I'm a bit afraid to move out of recovery mode as I might not be able to get back in. What's the best way to install a kernel? Is just flashing the zip with CWM good? When I flashed the zip of Beeto's kernel. The log said: "Bricking device. Installation successful. Have fun." I suppose that was meant to be funny and not serious? I hope

I don't know about CWM, but TWRP enables adb by default. Maybe you need to install drivers on your PC, or use Linux.

I just thought about something. So I flashed Beeto's Kernel, but I didn't flash his ROM, the stock ROM is still on the phone. Could this be why he's stuck in bootloop ? Would it work if I now flash SaberMOD?
