[Q] So about 4.4.3 update with root, unlocked bootloader and tampered system apps...

I have a Nexus 5 that has been rooted, unlocked bootloader and I deleted some of the system apps (cant's remember which). I received the OTA update for the 4.4.3 update few says back. Clicked the update, after the download process went through, the phone restarted to install. But then my phone just went dead, it popped up a dead android with the word "error" underneath it x-P.
I know the problem has to do with me uninstalling system apps so is there anyway for me to update to 4.4.3 without wiping my data, if not, I have no problem doing it anyway (nothing too important on my nexus...) Thanks.

Download the factory images of 4.4.3 and flash system, bootloader, recovery and radio.. Doing so will not wipe your data!

Put your phone in bootloader mode and flash the 4.4.3 system img you'll be fine:good:

Download the factory image and flash boot.img, cache.img and system.img, and the new radios.
I would recommend a wipe and do it fresh, but it's up to you.
Edit: 3 replies in the same minute, derp.

Just do this

Uhh, that went way over my head, maybe a dumb question but how does one flash img on a android phone? Sorry, I'm still a noob when it comes to these things. (is there a way to do it on a linux computer?)

You'll need fastboot setup on your computer. Once you have is setup just go to the link I posted. You just need to double click on the flash-all

The flash-all.bat/flash-all.sh wipes if I'm not mistaken.
To the OP:
Download the Android SDK and set up fastboot, there are stickied threads for it in the General Section.
Download the factory images and take out boot.img, cache.img and system.img (inside a .zip inside the already compressed file), as well as the radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img. put them in fastboot directory
Open a cmd prompt in fastboot directory and type (pressing enter after each line, wait for each individual one to complete):

It might be slightly different on a Linux computer but it should be in the stickies, or search

[Q] Can't connect to 4G after 4.4.4 update

Hey, writing this from New Zealand on D821 Nexus 5 unlocked.
I have recently updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it seems great with improved battery life and all.
However it is really buggering me off that I can't connect to 4G anymore. All I am getting is H+.
My phone setting is on 4G (recommended) for data and I have rebooted the device a few times just in case.
If you know any way I could try and resolve this problem, please help me out.
Cheers

Is your bootloader unlocked? I'd flash the 4.4.2 radio. Sounds like that worked better for you. If you have a custom recovery there are some zip files too you could flash

Yea, my N5 is not rooted. It is just the 4G connection issue. I am very happy with every other aspect of the update though.

You don't need to be rooted. Flashing a radio from fastboot just needs an unlocked bootloader
I've seen many complaints regarding this new radio. It's great that we have a nexus and can roll back to anything we want to

Yes. If your boot loader is unlocked just fastboot flash the radio
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Get radio.img out of the factory image. Google nexus 5 factory image. Download it and extract it. In there is another zip file, extract that too. There you find the radio.img

Lost baseband/no voice or data

I was messing around flashing roms(last flash was oneplus aosp) with twrp and I lost my modem(baseband) and do not have voice or data. I tried flashing just NON-HLOS.bin but did not regain the baseband. I also fastboot flashed all the files to stock ROM and still have missing baseband. Right now it is rebooting everytime I restart. What to do?

no. Oh no.....that's bad isn't it. Damn thing doesn't want to power off and reboots every few minutes.

Then you must have lost your efs folder.Guess its the same like in samsung phones.There's a fix in samsung note 3 thread about fixing corrupted efs partition but not sure it will work or not

Even if we did, we wouldn't be able to provide you with a backup as it contains the IMEI for an individual's phone. The best we can do, is try to salvage the data inside your /efs partition. If it's been fully wiped (as in deleted), then recovering the data might be possible, but you'll have to make a bit-by-bit shadow copy of the /efs partition. I think it's ext4, but I'm not sure. It is possible to recover the data, if it's simply been deleted. If it's been overwritten, then I'm afraid you'll be out of luck.

No one can provide his or her imei.You must visit note 3 forum sd variant.They will guide you to the thread which has a zip to fix it(if only it can work for your phone)

Just checked. There is no efs folder in the root directory. For what's it's worth the imei number is printed on a sticker on top of your OPO box. Not that it's much help right now.

Not the best way and you'll pay something as this a software issue that was caused from you but it's better than having a multimedia player
EDIT: Chanced to Pending Shipment ..heh nice (I'm acting like a kid lol)

Did you make any kind of backup of your previous rom? I had the same issue at one point with my n5 and my samsung note 2. You can also try flashing the stock image which I think they have on the oneplusone forum or something and that may bring up the efs that is hidden somewhere. Let me know.

We don't support Custom Recovery like CWM. Here are the instructions to re-flash CM Recovery:
You'll need Android ADB drivers installed first, for which you can use the standard Google Android SDK drivers if you're using Windows: https://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Afterwards, follow these steps:
0) Backup everything important you have on the device. Flashing will erase all data from your phone.
1) Download http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
and unzip to you /android-sdk/platform-tools folder (for easy access)
2) Turn off device, then press the power and hold the Volume Up button until the device shows the fastboot screen
3) Start the fastboot tool and run the following in the command line (that means, windows+r, type cmd, press enter), in sequence:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64g.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
4) Still using the same command line, enter "fastboot reboot" to reboot your OnePlus One into CyanogenMod
Hope this helps.

After which they overeagerly closed the service request
I've reopened it, though, as the case is far from solved.
Will redo this again tonight, so I do collaborate as they require, but it won't change anything as I've gone through this already
JP.

I don't know if it lets you but I would open a new case every 2 days till it gets resolved. This customer service issue is what is probably going to get me to sell my oneplus. I can't stand it. First its the yellow band which they should have replaced no questions asked and now this. And that's why companies like samsung, lg and others stay in business. I hope you get things figured out. Sorry about all that. Hopefully you have a backup phone in the meantime.

I can flash the boot.img manually by fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then if I try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, it will say it's too large.
If I use fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-lrx21o.zip it will say the boot.img file is missing.

Yes, I flashed the bootloader first, then rebooted. I'll try again.

So I got it to work...
I think last night I assumed I rebooted the bootloader...
So yeah....

Is there an order that I should flash in?
Ran into it again. Don't remember the order I did a few hours ago.

Why not just use the included flash-all.bat in the update? It does it all for you

As I've said.
That doesn't work. At the end, after it says flashing radio, it will saying missing boot.img.

Here's the order I'm trying...
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
And that's where I get the error I can't load it.

Sorry, I didn't see anywhere where u mentioned flashing the flash-all.bat file.
You could possibly be using a USB 3.0 port which sometimes gives me issues. It will hang on radio or bootloader. I'll unplug and try again from a USB 2.0 port and it will work. It's worth a shot, although it doesn't sound like it's the same issue.
Did you check MD5? Could be a bad download

I did it last night. But then I couldn't take pictures, or save screenshots. So I was trying to flash it again.
Should I do a full wipe, then flash the bootloader, followed by boot, then system?

At this point I'd try the flash-all.bat file. It well wipe your device. Boot into the bootloader and then in a command window on your pc opened in the same folder as the flash-all.bat start with fastboot devices. If your device is connected then double click the flash-all.bat file.

If you get that cannoct allocate xxx bytes, then you have to flash all the images manually. Extract the zip file which is in the same folder as flash-all.bat
Copy all the extracted images next to flash-all.bat
In cmd navigate to that folder where you have tha flash-all.bat and type the commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloa (press tab to autofill the filename)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio ra (press tab to autofill the filename)

You don't have to lose recovery, just don't use the flash-all and don't flash the stock recovery. And even so, how hard is it to flash TWRP back on if you do lose it? It takes literally 10 seconds to do.

Yea I would rather flash via recovery because I actually know how to do it from there!!!! No idea about fastboot etc. Any luck on a flashable zip?

Yeah, you really should learn how to use fastboot. It's nowhere near as difficult as some people seem to think it is, and if you are ever in a bind, fastboot is likely what you'll need to use to get out of it. It's Android 101 really- I think everyone who roots and mods their phone should learn fastboot before they do anything at all.
