Hi
Just signed up.
Bit of background.
I installed twrp it was successful.
After wiping the data, and rebooting my phones camera wasnt working and there I couldnt save any apn on the phone basically cant use the phone.
I connected it back to my computer, its shows it a nexus but it shows theres 0 files on it.
I tried using adb but it wont find any device.
Can anybody give me some advice please.
Thanks in advances.

Why haven`t you made a nandroid backup first after you flashed TWRP? Have you cleared the cache after flashing TWRP: fastboot erase cache in adb? If nothing else works reflash the stock recovery and clear cache afterwards or reflash the factory image as a last resort.

I am new to it all.
I found the device using adb, but yeah I dont have a back up of the rom.
I downloaded the stock rom in the rom section but adb gave
archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt
error: update package has no android-info.txt or product.txt
What's the process to flash the 33R system image without me losing the internal storage data? I have run in to some unfixable issue with the OPO and hence am considering flashing the factory image as the last option.
The only concern is the data on the internal storage which is important for me. As I am unable to boot to the desktop nor use the MTP mode from TWRP, I cannot transfer/back up the content.
I've tried flashing Mahdi/33R/38R zips after wiping system/dalvik/cache/data with no luck. The phone keeps rebooting and is in a loop. Tried fixing permissions from recovery with no luck. I have no idea what am missing here...
I'd appreciate if anyone can provide me with steps to flash system image (without losing the internal storage data) instructions or resolve the other bootloop issue.
Thanks!
All you do is TWRP -> Wipe -> Swipe -> Flash ROM (and others... only flash ROM for now and it'll boot, maybe one of the mods or whatever ur flashing causes ur phone to boot loop)-> Reboot.
And then your phone will stop boot looping

Thank you. I have done all that to be frank. I flashed only the Mahdi ROM zip first and then booted. No luck. It kept bootlooping. Then tried the same with 33R zip too. No luck again. I have no mods running whatsoever.
I've done a complete wipe too as apps and app data isn't something I care for currently. It's the internal storage.
Use fastboot, grab the latest stock images
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This won't erase internal SD, all will be intact so long as your prior issue didn't corrupt it in anyway
Have you tried restoring a nandroid?

Thanks. Yup, used to do that with Nexus 5 and other nexus devices. But the factory image for OPO has other files too. Do I not need to flash them too somehow?
I think those are boot.img and tour radio firmware. I don't think you have tot flash those. But I'm also new to this...

Wiped everything (internal memory too) and flashed the factory image clean and now I have the "Unfortunately, AudioFX has stopped working" error. The phone is unusable literally.

OMG! You're my hero and savior. This fixed it. Thank you so much. You have no idea how happy I am
Thank you!
So i have no idea what my OPO happened so i tried to do advanced wipe on TWRP page.
Now my system is gone, and my SD card is empty I couldn't flash a rom into my device.
Is there anyway I able to flash a rom file in zip format and flash it into my devices with fastboot mode and use android-sdk/platform-tools.. I need help my phone is not working at all!

So you had a problem and thought wiping everything would fix it or you don't know why wiping everything would cause a problem?

So when doing the advanced wipe you wiped everything? Surely it was obvious that wiping 'system' and 'internal storage' would result in this. Use adb to push a ROM zip to your phone so you can flash it.

For some reason, I have to factory reset my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/disappear-hard-disk-t3222734#post63254887
Just wanna know, since I have titanium backup on my nexus 5 devices. Does a factory reset (or any kind of wipes) wipe the internal storage of my phone (including the backup).
If so, how should i proceed with my backup if i wanna factory reset the phone
Thanks.

Wait what, why do u need to do a factory reset, and yes, as the name suggests, it leaves the device in the same state that u received it in, blank, but why would u need to wipe the device, I'm going to check out the link, bcuz now I'm interested
I have never seen this happen before and I've owned nothing but Nexus devices, well, to answer your question I have to ask a few, are u rooted, do u have a recovery installed? If the answer to those two questions is no, then connect to a computer, copy the files in your internal storage and place them in a safe folder on your computer, proceed to wipe the device as stated, then copy the files back onto the device, should take care of your internal storage.

Yes, pls check on my other thread
And yes, I do have a rooted, twrp recovery and stock 5.1.1 rom.
So is it possible for me to move the titanium backup folder to my pc, reset my nexus and than recover app using titanium backup again?
Thanks

That might work, in theory it should, as long as u go back to 5.1.1, or u could just make a data only backup in twrp, download the factory image, whether it be 6.0 or 5.1.1, use the pc and adb to manually flash the images, do this
1) make data only backup, move that backup to pc
2) extract the images, both the tgz file and the zip file inside to a safe location, u only need the radio, boot, system, and userdata images if 6.0, just system and userdata if 5.1.1
3) use adb to flash these images like this:
fastboot flash radio "radio.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot "boot.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system "system.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then boot to recovery, flash your backup and that's should be it

ok, quick question arise

Few questions
Do I have to reset using stock recovery? Or twrp reset will do?
Can I just reset under setting?

No u can't use the factory reset button in settings as the stock room won't recognize twrp, u can however use twer and wipe cache, data, and dalvik cache, or just do the reg factory reset wipe under wipe which should work as well as a factory reset, why are u trying to factory reset tho, if I might ask

because my nexus 5 showing 14gb instead of 32gb. I heard a factory reset will help the problem. I just dont know which factory reset (recovery or in setting) to do.
but if i use twrp wiping cache, data and dalvik (leaving system and internal storage alone).... will it wipe my lollipop os too? will it wipe my storage too?
what is the different between the factory reset under setting and the factory reset under twrp?
sorry for so many questions....

Ok so to answer your question, u can wipe anything EXCEPT Internal Storage, system, and boot and you won't lose anything, personally I would do this, boy twrp and use the regular factory reset, this will error everything except got the OS and internal storage, if that didn't work then I would manually format the partitions

thanks.
so i should wipe cache, dalvik cache and data and my phone apps+data will still be there right?
btw, what is cache, d cache and data maens?
I just got this phone and i have OEM Unlock enabled. I am due to sell my old phone in few days so i am in a bit panic mode right now :\
When i try to flash TWRP along with the instruction that were here (i tried with only applying both or only dm-verity) the phone started to "start" flashing the Samsung logo but nothing happened and after 15-25minutes i tried to install this ROM and it also shows "Starting up please wait" but it also seems to start up indefinately.
Can you tell what is wrong now? It seems i can flash the stock ROM and boot to it but cannot install TWRP/Root nor any custom ROM's :\
Hey bro follow this.
Install stock ROM.
Boot into it once.
And flash TWRP. Disable auto reboot in Odin.
Then boot into TWRP directly from there.
Now swipe to allow modifications.
THEN GO INTO WIPE ADVANCED WIPE AND CLICK FORMAT DATA AND TYPE YES.
After format reboot into recovery once again.
Now again swipe to allow mods.
Now only install Dm-verity.
Reboot.
Now the phone will boot.
Go back into recovery to install your ROM it'll root the phone.

Sorry but still no dice (waited for ½hours to boot)
The data wipe did not even succeed. I attached screenshots of data wiping plus no-verity install if there is something anyone could use. I do not really understand how this is so hard... I have never encountered this kind of problem with common phone.
@DARKKi
Did You try to format data or just to wipe? You should click on format data and type "yes"
Dude I clearly mentioned, you have to click format data in advanced wipe. First try to read and understand then proceed. Click format data and then type yes and then you're good to go.

Damn. Sorry, i think that when going into advanced wipe there is no format there it's under normal wipe so i only thought that it meant that but yeah my mistake. I should have looked for format data and come to my own conclusions :\
Well first result of format resulted on loop boot and i could not even flash the stock rom with Odin (failed directly) but then i tried to flash TGP ROM via TWRP and it worked! So now i am using the phone as we speak!
Thanks a lot njaya95!
