About "hammerheadcaf" factory image - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i'm new with nexus 5 i have a hammerheadcaf d821 modele and i want to know if google factory images are the same for hammerhead and hammerheadcaf i mean i can just download the hammerhead factory image and flash it to my hammerheadcaf ?
thanks in advance :good:

There's no such thing as a hammerheadcaf right out of the box. If you flashed a caf ROM on your device you can flash the factory images at any point to reset your device

There's no such thing. You're confused about something and I'm not sure what it is.

One you buy the Franco Kernel updater app, back up the stock kernel, and then flash Franco. In the case you didn't back up your kernel, you can go to the stock kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518816 and flash the zip in recovery.

Are you wiping data when you flash the rom?
If you don't have any important stuff on your phone, I would just flash the factory images and start over with the rom process.

Please tell us also what is your phone's status at the moment. Like is your phone rooted with bootloader unlocked and stuff like that.

Well since he's flashing a rom, it would be rooted and the bootloader unlocked.

It never hurts to ask though. Maybe he did something different and bypassed something. You never know. You got to have the whole story. :sly:

When you flash the ROM it also flashes the kernel that comes with it.
So if you are using Mahdi ROM then everything is ok but if you try a different ROM you get the error constantly?
using the ClockworkMod recovery.
If you receive issues on flashing, double check your download. If nothing, I suggest using the ClockworkMod recovery.

Phone has stopped is related to your gapps

The type of recovery you use will have no bearing on it, hundreds of people on here use twrp and cwm.
All I can suggest and it was suggested before is to wipe your phone completely and start over again. Something went wrong, clearly.

Issue with update to latest version of kit kat

Hi,
I am having trouble updating my Nexus 5 to the latest version. I get the notification to update and it begins to run however, after about 20% it errors and all I can see is the little android error icon. Has anyone else encountered this?
Have you made any changes to the ROM prior to trying to update?

No It is running the stock version with no dodgy apps installed at all.
Strange. Maybe the update file is corrupted.

Yeah it is Build number KRT16M
Has anyone got an answer or is there an issue with the device and I need to replace it? it's currently running 4.4 and is trying to install 4.4.2... Could it be an issue with it trying to bypass the 4.4.1 update? I have even done a factory re set and it still errors when trying to install the update.
You could just download the 4.4.2 factory image and manually flash it (leaving out the userdata.img so you don't reset everything) you'll be fine

I would re-flash the recovery and the cache.img. If that doesn't work, try another recovery like TWRP or CWM and see if it works there. If that doesn't work, try flashing the factory image.
from my experience the nexus 5 dosen't support mounting via recovery..

Not to a PC, no, but he means mount the /data partition so the phone can write to it.

So you dont want me to help? I give you the answer and you throw it back in my face?
...and yes, you should know how to fastboot flash any partition before rooting. Its in the "read this before rooting" thread stuck at the top of this forum. If someone tells you to flash a cache.img - you should no what that means. If someone then tells you how to do it, you shouldn't come back with ridiculous comments.
Some people aren't worth helping. You'll receive nothing from me again.
No I wouldn't have replied in the s4 forum. I had an s3 and I would have replied like this too. You're supposed to arm yourself with basic knowledge before rooting. Everyone here is sick and tired of helping people who can't be bothered reading sticky threads.

Man I do appreciate the help but like I said I do know how to fastboot I was not asking how,just which file to use. I understand people get tired but is someone not allowed to overlook or just plain old,have a bad day.I am no newbie I've helped plenty of people with their s4's,evo3d and other phones hence why I have 6,0000 thanks.everything was going wrong yesterday and for some reason the simplist stuff was hard.But anyways sorry if I said something I shouldn't have,I just hate when you guys think everyone asking for advice or help was a noob

[Q] Revert to Stock M Kernel

So, i'm now using Hells core kernel, and i want to revert it back to stock kernel, because it seems doesn't have doze
So, what i'm gonna do is just fastboot flash boot.img right?
No need to wipe dalvik, cache and data right?
Sorry for such a noob question
