Hi
I put my nexus 4 in an unrecoverable boot loop last week, couldn't get into bootloader OR recovery, I rooted and put Paranoid Android rom on it last month, been using it no problem until last week, wanted to install latest rom for the extra Halo features, so I factory rest phone and tried to flash it, kept failing, so I formatted partitions on phone, and tried again, flashed with latest PA rom and latest Gapps, then got the boot loop which I couldn't do anything with
getting a replacement from google this week, and want to root and rom it again, but want to double check the version I was flashing will work with each other so as not to boot loop it again
I flashed pa_grouper-3.57-06JUN2013-193501.zip and then flashed pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed.zip
Im assuming these are OK but wanted to double check just incase I should have used a different version of Gapps with this rom, as I said I flashed it a few weeks before with an earlier paranoid android rom version and Gapps version and all was fine for a few weeks until I tried to update it all
LMFAO
You're flashing grouper on a Nexus 4????
That's the Nexus 7, mako is nexus 4

This thread is for owners of the Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 GT-I9505G to discuss OTA updates. It is NOT for discussion of how to convert an I9500/I9505/whatever variant to a Google Edition (which cannot be done anyway), discussions on how to get the GPE ROM onto other variants, or discussions on the various GPE-based custom ROMs for other variants. There are countless threads on XDA about these topics and that would be a more appropriate forum for discussing them. Thank you.
Hi Everyone,
As I do with many Nexus devices, I intend to maintain a thread here with links to all the stock OTA updates for the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505G (Google Play Edition). Each time there is an OTA update, its direct link on Google's servers will be posted here for reference and posterity. I also mirror these files at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/galaxy-s4/jgedlteue.
Any questions about flashing these OTA updates can be discussed and answered here as well.

No. JLS36(X) is a device-specific branch for the Nexus 7 2013 LTE variant. JSS15(X) is device-specific to the Nexus 7 2013 WiFi-only variant. All other Nexus devices and the Google Play Edition phones are remaining with the main branch, which is JWR66(X). They did this until the N7 2013 code gets a bit more stable, as not to destabilize the other device trees.
I imagine we'll see all devices unified into a single tree starting with the KitKat launch.
So JLS36G will only be coming to the N7 LTE just like JSS15R only came to the N7 WiFi.

No, these OTAs will only work on a real I9505G phone. If you want to run the Google Experience ROM on an I9505, you can, but it's all custom ROMs. There's no way to do a 100% conversion of an I9505 to an I9505G.
I was wondering if Google is ever gonna render stock images available from their website just like any other Nexus device...

Well, I don't understand why... I mean, it's being sold to let the user have a "Google experience", which would involve him/her doing whatever they want with the device, be it formatting, flashing something and then wanting to go back to stock (like on the Nexus)
Why didn't Google take over Samsung since it's their OS?

Because the Google Play Editions aren't Nexus devices. The software on these phones come from Samsung. Google provides the actual ROM, but Samsung builds the kernels and, ultimately, is the one who release the updates. These phones have no support in AOSP at all. If these were Nexus devices or even got updates directly from Google, then yes, they would probably provide images. Since that isn't the case, I think our best hope is for SamMobile to provide ODIN-flashable firmware.

Actually I thought that since they are sold on the Play Store, images would be provided. That's the only way to make sure that if you make a mistake you can always go back to original and be sure that the original is actually "the original" without anything added or removed.
I really have started to think I've made a gigantic mistake buying this phone...

Make a nandroid backup of everything. That's the same thing. Just make sure you don't overwrite stock recovery before you do. Do fastboot boot customrecovery.img (to make sure it doesn't overwrite stock), then do a nandroid backup. There you go. You've got a stock image to fall back on.
Back in the days of the Nexus One and Nexus S, we didn't have factory images either. We had to rely on nandroid backups and people who made flashable ROMs out of system dumps. The Nexus S has factory images now, but they didn't show up until around Ice Cream Sandwich. So for most of that phone's lifecycle, we were out of luck.

I've done it already, but still, I think it isn't as "clean" as it could be... Further, when I update to a successive release what happens? I should make another nanadroid, right? But this time it'd be unclean since the apps are already installed... (Am I right?)
Further does the CWM nanadroid backup EVERYTHING? Or does it miss some partitions (for example, I cannot see a file named "radio" out of the CWM nanadroid) etc?

Wow, that's a long time... They put them when no one needed those images anymore...
How could I make a system dump without altering the phone, and how could I make it flashable?
In order to have clean (without applications, just as if were factory reset) images via system dump, would I have to format everything or there's a workarount?
Many thanks!

I made a perfectly clean nandroid backup from my device because mine is stock and unrooted, completely untouched. I have the bootloader, radio, system, boot and recovery. I'll see about throwing it together as a flashable zip for everyone.

New thread for CyanogenMod builds (currently nightlies) for hlte devices. Previously, Note 3 (qualcomm devices) builds were separate, but now they are unified. So, hltespr, hltetmo, hltevzw, htlexx are now all in one build: hlte.
Download page can be found here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte.
FAQs (please read before asking any questions):
AlecRobertson said:
Does this build work on the 4.4 bootloader? Yes! It works on the 4.4.2 NA6/NA7/NB3 bootloaders.
Is this build stable? No. There will be issues (see known issues below)
Where can I get the latest recovery that is compatible with this ROM? http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963. You can also use the latest version of TWRP.
Can I update OTA from an hltexx, etc. build to an hlte build? No.
Is there any advantage to upgrading to the 4.4 bootloader? No, not really, unless you call not being able to downgrade an advantage .
Can I downgrade from a 4.4 bootloader to a 4.3 bootloader. No (you can thank Samsung for that)! The only exception to this is if you have a Canadian variant of the Note 3. Then, you can downgrade
Can I install this on an Eyxnos device? No!
Which GApps should I use? I would recommend the Paranoid Android GApps. You can them from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942. If you want the Nexus experience, get the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE.

Success on Rogers SM-N900W8 ...
Well, I took the plunge … once again … with surprising success.
Installation was quite simple on my Rogers (Canadian) SM-N900W8, so I would imagine that all Canadian variants will provide similar results.
Prior to installing the 20140218 unified (hlte) version of CM, I had stock Touchwiz installed, with TWRP 2.6.3.7 as my recovery.
I first performed a Nandroid (always suggested), and then simply flashed both CM and GAPPS through TWRP. Yes, you read the previous sentence correctly. I flashed right from my existing TWRP recovery.
Prior to flashing, I wiped System, Data, Dalvik and Cache, which I did twice (moderate OCD here); however, I did NOT touch Internal Storage.
So far, so good. The device booted very quickly, much more quickly than usual. I then entered all the initial set-up information, and arrived, quite smoothly, at the initial home screen. I then went into Settings and set-up virtually everything.
As I said above, so far, so good. Wifi works very well. LTE works, although, I had to manually go into the APN settings and select the pre-configured Rogers LTE APN. It took a few minutes, but LTE finally popped-up on the Notification Bar.
So, that's it. I'm now installing all my apps. I'll let you know how everything goes once they are all installed (about 100).
Good luck everyone.

I'd always do a clean install by downloading it on your PC and clean flashing it anyway. I know it's a pain, but you'll get far less issues like this.

The KK bootloader doesn't offer any benefit/new feature over the JB one, SS just changed it to give us a hard time with custom ROMs and prevent us from downgrading. All the bootloader does is to allow the device to... boot (!)
I like this new version, I haven't gotten the black screen of death yet, and things seem to run smoother (probably placebo), and the battery seems better

Hi guys,
I recently purchased the Google Nexus 5. I had it rooted and a custom ROM installed for like $35 by oneclickroot. However, I ordered a tempered glass screen protector for it and when I peeled off the plastic they use for shipping the phone the phone had tiny little chips in the screen. Therefore, I contacted Google for a replacement. I now have the replacement and I would like to backup the stock image, apps, settings, etc. Then, root the phone, and install a custom ROM and gapps. When trying to return my damaged Nexus 5 to stock for sending it back I stumbled on the Nexus Root Toolkit which I used to flash the stock image back, and lock the bootloader again. Therefore, I will be using the Nexus Root Toolkit for the actual rooting process. Could you guys tell me what I would need to backup my stock ROM? Will using the backup button in the Nexus Root Toolkit backup my ROM, apps, and settings? If I was using a custom ROM and was rooted and restored the backup would it unroot my phone and put it all the way back to stock? I would like to flash Cyanogen Mod again. I have downloaded the hammerhead nightly build of Cyano Mod. Could someone tell where to get the proper apps version? I am confused on the whole gapps thing. For gapps is there one specific one I should be using for my phone, or will I need a different gapps version depending on the custom ROM?
Thanks,
Rocky
Don't know,I don't use tools kits. But I'd make a nandroid in a custom recovery then copy pics, music,etc to my pc. Don't backup your efs in the nandroid though

Don't use the toolkit. rooting is simple enough anyway and it really benefits you to know what you're doing.

Lets just talk about a basic AOSP / CM rom. As long as you have the latest gapps package for the version of android you are on, you're fine. You'd use the same one whether you're on AOSP, CM, Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 etc etc,,, as long as its the version for Android 4.4.2
Some ROMs such as Paranoid Andrid and SlimKat may have their own gapps packages. The norml gapps will work, but the special ones for slimkat my have more features for that rom built in,

Gapps will always be the same if the rom requires gapps. There are a few different gapps packages out there which contain everything from a minimum, banks comes to mind, to a full gapps package. But they are not rom specific

Thanks again fellas. I am looking up gapps now. I have 4.4.2 on my phone now. I have found a few different version and newer and older releases of gapps. For example goo.im gapps has this one gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip and on the paranoid android website it has this one as the latest one pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140531-signed.zip. So if I want to install anything other than Paranoid Android I could use the first gapps I linked too and if I want to use Paranoid Android I should use the second I linked too from there page? I am almost positive when oneclickroot flashed my phone they used the first one but they flashed Carbon. Can I make nandroid backups without rooting? I want to make a backup that will take me completely back to stock for warranty purposes in case I ever have to return the phone like I did my first one. Therefore, if root is needed that won't work because it would be backing up the rooted stock.
You paid $35 for a custom rom? I've got some magic beans you can have for £100
You can use paranoid android gapps on any ROM. There is nothing specific. Read the gapps thread here on xda to find out which package includes which apps

Yeah its a lesson learned. I had actually rooted my moms ZTE Merit a while back but I though things would of changed by now. I just didn't want to mess up the phone and there was things I didn't know at the time I paid for the rooting. However, I went through the steps to root my new phone yesterday and it was successful and I also got CyanogenMod successfully installed with gapps. I can't believe how damn easy it was. Makes me wish I had my $35 back! Oh well lesson learned I guess.
If I want to return the custom ROM back to a fresh state like you can do with the stock ROM can I just use the backup/reset feature and do a factory reset? I did that yesterday and the phone seams to be okay.
Yes

Makes me wish I had my $35 back! Oh well lesson learned I guess.
If I want to return the custom ROM back to a fresh state like you can do with the stock ROM can I just use the backup/reset feature and do a factory reset? I did that yesterday and the phone seams to be okay.

A factory reset doesn't touch the system partition, it only erases the data partition, so any changes made to the system (i.e. root) will persist after a factory reset.
Guys,
I've got a question. Google just published the factory images of 5.0.1. for Nexus 4 & 6. Therefore, I assume the Nexus 5 will follow soon as well. I'd like to how the best way for me to update to 5.0.1. which is critical for me as texting isnt working at the moment.
I'm now on:
Rooted 5.0 stock
Franco kernel
I don't want to do another factory reset, so what would be the best way to update to 5.0.1. without losing data.. ?
Thanks in advance!

There are upgrade guides galore, as well as a ridiculous amount of answered help threads on this topic...
Regarding your SMS/MMS not working properly.
- Check that your phone's selected APN and your messaging app's APN selection match.

I'm sorry, but I did do a quick search.. but I don't know exactly what to do since I'm running custom kernel as well. Regarding the sms thing.. that's going to be solved with 5.0.1. as it's the texting bug which causes Dutch Vodafone users unable to send.

Look through this on how to flash the factory image. Only flash system and boot images

Thanks! Running a custom kernel won't be a problem?
