I have rooted. I've run the bootstrap apk and now have a "droid bootstrap" icon in my apps.
I guess im supposed to run it,but it doesn't have a "flash zip" menu selection so im short a bit of knowledge.

The flashing zips isnt "within" the app when you open it. Open the app and then hit the top button. This will hijack the boot process. Then press on "success" when it comes up. Then press "reboot recovery". This will reboot your phone into the hijacked recovery and allow you to do a full backup of your phone. Use the volume up/down keys to.navigate and the camera button to select. Go to backup/restore, then backup.
See my guide for more info:

Thx for stoppin by. I've actually read your guide about 20 times So I do what you said and I'm "backed up"...well, thats gotta be good, but I STILL don't see how I flash the 2.3.340deodex.zip that deodex's me.
You simply use the bootstrapper app to boot into recovery and select install zip from SD card then choose zip then navigate to the zip then select it then press yes
Got it.thx

Why download an apposite apps when you can delete 100% safely your cache with "wipe cache" from recovery.
I think it's just a waste of memory, anyway...
App Cache Cleaner
I use App Cache Cleaner.
Works great and has a one touch widget to clear all cache straight away.

I always deleted my cache with "Wipe Cache" method in CWM Recovery and had no problems yet.
It is easy, doesn't needs an extra app, and just takes some seconds
I just installed Unofficial CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1 and I got stuck with the logo android with arrow going around it. What should I do?
this is my first time to install this kind of stuffs.
Did u wipe data n cache before installing the rom?
1. Check if the rom is corrupt by extracting on pc. If it extracts d rom is fine. If not download again
2. Wipe data/reset, wipe cache prtition, go to advanced>>format /system and install the rom again

First of all, BE READY WITH UR FLASHABLE ROM.
It's obvious that you've CWM (i.e. ClockWorkMod) Recovery. So,
1. Go to CWM Recovery.
2. Go to "mounts and storage".
3. Select "format /system".
4. Select "Yes format".
NOTE:- Be **CAREFUL** after formating /system, ur phone can't be turned on. If you tried however or accidently pressed "reboot system now" from CWM main menu after formating /system, you'll end up bricking ur device.
So, Bro!! ***BE CAREFUL***!!!
It's not the same as wiping data or cache or dalvik cache. B'coz, after wiping data/cache/dalvik cache, you can normally switch on ur phone(UNLIKE formatting /system).
Also, After flashing Rom successfully, do this:
1. From CWM main menu, select "wipe data/factory reset" & confirm it.
2. Then select "wipe cache partition" & confirm it.
3. Then goto "advanced" and select "wipe dalvik cache" & confirm it.
4. & Then select "reboot system now"...
It may take 5-10 minutes to boot, so have patience...
ENJOY UR NEW ROM!!!

So I just did what you have said above and it's been more than 10 minutes and all I am seeing is a black screen with the ANDROID.
Why is this happening? I did all what you have instructed but no luck. :crying:
O.K.!!
Flash this CWM Recovery(yours might get corrupted)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640

Then, try flashing Stock Based Custom Roms from here:-

Now, it should definitely work!!...
And if that doesn't work too, then flash stock firmware!! It's an ultimate remedy!!!

I have flashed the rom by creed and it work. The cyanogen rom is not working for me. :crying:
Why is this?
Bro!! If stock based custom roms work fine for U, then Cyanogenmod will also work. It sometime happens for the 1st time when u move from stock to Cyanogenmod.
So, you've a working phone with creeds(stock based) rom... U should TAKE ITS NANDROID BACKUP so that if some mishap happens in future, U can easily restore that.
If U know how to backup/restore, its fine... But if U don't, then do this:-
1. Switch off ur phone & enter in CWM Recovery.
2. From CWM main menu, goto "backup & restore".
3. Select "backup".
NOTE:- It's expected that you've sufficient storage space on ur sd card...
To restore an existing backup, selct "restore" under "backups & restore" menu and then select a desired back up file.
Now, you've a NANDROID BACKUP, you can give a try to various cyanogenmod roms (official or unofficial... depends on you) & if some wrong happens..., u know what to do... right???
For stock firmwares, visit www.samfirmware.com
U can also visit www.viotutorials.com for flashing processes along with video demonstration.:thumbup::thumbup:

[My first post on xda, plz help!]
My N5, 4.4.4 not rooted, has faced those problems for about a month or two:
1.My gallery force stopped when I tried to use the default gallery photo editor (the little pencil button at the left corner of the screen) to edit a photo of any format, but luckily I still have Pixlr Express and Photoshop to edit photos, nevertheless, it is still uncomfortable to see. ?
2.My YouTube and YouTube studio app also force stopped when I tried to share a video. It is very troublesome to me as I need to share my videos for promotion! ?
3. My Instagram also force stopped when I tried to choose a picture from my gallery in the camera page of the app. However, when I go to the gallery and directly share the photo to Instagram, it works. It is kinda strange.
4. It is a terrible problem and limitation for android users, but still not the worst for me (you will see when you read the next bullet point). My phone can't install apks! I have no screen filter and the install page doesn't even completely show up as the package installer stopped message comes up ahead of it.
5. The worst problem of all... Settings is malfunctional, I can't force stop, or clear cache, or change default settings of the apps because when I go to the list of apps and tap one of them, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message jumps out and I am never able to solve the problems of the apps above. What's more, when I go to "About Device" and keep tapping on the Android Version 4.4.4, the easter egg animation doesn't show up! ?????????
So, this is it. I plan to factory reset my phone but I am not free to back up my data yet, so would it help? Additionally, one more piece of information may help you guys find out the clue: I have a File Manager that can open folders over the sdcard folder (I am not pro so I can't explain well) so I can access to system folders containing things like system apps, boot animation, kernel etc. So is it abnormal for a unrooted phone?
Hope that some of you can help me. ???

No... Its not abnormal for a file manager to view system folders... U can't edit the folder nor can you see contents of other folders... Actually just boot a custom recovery and wipe data without wiping the internal storage... It may solve the issue... To do that use towel root method of rooting flash the custom recovery using some app or unlock the boot loader using bootunlocker apk...
---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------
Then in case you are a noob just go to boot loader after downloading the recovery image as well as adb drivers and use command fastboot boot name of your recovery.zip or fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.zip...

you don't need to root your phone and flash a custom recovery to wipe data. 1. you can do it in stock recovery 2. you can do it in the main settings, backup and reset(factory reset).

Because N5 doesn't have removable SD card... In phones with SD card also, the internal storage will be wiped and only the SD card is left alone as it gets unmounted on power off...
By the way, if I ignore these problems now and wait until the android L update, will they be solved after the update? I am. using stock android, no root.

Just fix it. Pretending it doesn't exist and hoping an update fixes it gets you nowhere. Copy your SD card to a computer, and wipe it. Just do it. Stop putting up with this crap.
Thx, I fixed it now (temporarily) by turning to recovery mode and wipe data.
However, before I did so, I used the factory reset in settings and when it came to erase data, the 'erase all data' button had no response, it is weird. But anyway the problem has solved ?

FYI you could have used ADB to back up the phone data.
so, deleting data in the stock recovery did not wipe your storage?

Go to Settings - Apps and tap the 3-dot menu button in the upper right and select Show System, then scroll down to find Motorola Update Services and open it. Tap Storage, then Clear Data and Clear Cache then reboot and try again. Otherwise, try the standard Cache Partition wipe.
Make sure you are on WiFi when you try, some carriers have been known to block this (it's rare though).
