A friend of mine bought a Nexus 5 and had it for a week and it worked perfectly. He decided he wanted to sell so I bought it off him. We did a factory reset on it to delete all his data etc off of it and after when I put my sim card in and went to set it up to use it, it doesn't connect to my network automatically. When I choose my network in the setting it will say "registering to network" and then say "can't connect to network at this time please try again later" I have tried using different sim card from different companies and it still does the same thing.
Please Help!!
Need Help!!

does your friend's sim still work on it?
are you rooted?
try to re-flash radio image.
This seems to be a really common problem with these phones. I have personally known two people's phones did this and the only solution was to RMA it. Not to mention numerous other reports of the same problem here on XDA.

I had the same problem and that didn't fix it. It was hardware related.

i suggest also to flash cache image, then factory reset.

Might as well flash the factory image if you don't care about data. That way, all possibilities would be covered.

I flashed the factory image and it's still doing the same thing. I'm guessing it a hardware problem, might as well send it in for a replacement.

This is concerning.
Greetings!
i ve flashed sense port rom just for fun (you have to put it in cwm backup folder and restore it). After that my proximity sensor died and i forgot to make a nandroid backup of my working stock nexus rom.
after that, I ve flashed stock img file via fastvoot and proximity still doesnt work.
Could anyone send me some CWM backup, i cant find it anywhere. Thats the only thing i havent tried to revive proximity sensor.
Or someone has better solution.
Thank you very much,
Aleksandar
If flashing a stock image hasn't fixed it, nothing will.

Seems like deleting the sensor files/folders works...
/data/system/sensors
/data/misc/sensors
/persist/sensors/sns.reg
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sensors-fix-nexus-5-t2704915
I really don't know how a factory image or a cwm restore didn't solve it??
@Prezlamen Take a look at the above thread... I hope it will fix your issue as well...

As for the first 2, a factory reset should cure. No custom rom should be touching /persist. This is the problem with flashing incomplete ports. Different phones, different rules

so i was on cataclysm from the beginning and everything worked great. I flashed stock 4.4.4 cause i want to use just xposed with a nice vanilla rom. everything works great except i cant get or place calls. i have sprint lte full bars, can get data and everything send texts/mms, go on facebook, dl stuff, just no calls. wifi or not doesnt matter either. everytime i try to place one it just sits on dialing and i lose all bars and then says can t make call, no connection. once i hang up the bars and lte come back.
I have noticed my network ends up on global sometimes instead of LTE but even when i switch it to LTE it still doesnt work. i have updated prl and profile too. Any ideas? thanks
EDIT: yeah i still cant seem to fix it. I was going to go back to a 4.4.2 rom but for some reason it fails in twrp everytime now... :/ but this is the exact problem i am having in this thread https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/Or6_6zCtBwc
seems like it might be sprints fault
Did you wipe?

Install 4.4.4 using fastboot. And after make sure you are using the latest version of twrp.

Personally I would flash the factory images again just to rule out software being the issue, if it still happens then I guess RMA or whatever.

yeah i'll give that a try. weird thing is this happened only after i flashed 4.4.4 from cataclysm 4.4.2. i am waiting to hear if an RMA fixes the issue since someone else is already going that route. it sounds to me like it might be sprint

I doubt it is sprint causing this, or it would be all over these forums. I'd definitely install 4.4.4 via fastboot it'll give you the newest radio and the stock recovery. I'm betting this will fix your issue. Then just use fastboot or flashify to install the newest twrp, and flash su in recovery. If this doesn't fix it, it's a hardware issue.

thanks ill try it out when i got a spare moment. now that im thinking of it this all happened after i updated twrp, so could that be the root of all this you think? because i used the twrp app to update it instead of flashing, and i noticed it has been acting extremely weird lately.
You might check your APN settings. I had issues with MMS after flashing 4.4.4.

ill look into it. people who have this problem said its not the apn though because i get data just fine and i can recieve calls. its only when i am placing a call it goes crazy and disconnects me
EDIT: so anyone know how to get to apn for sprint? its not under mobile networks. is it buried in a dialer menu or something?...

Hi guys,
my setting was: rooted 5.0 but stock bootloader (I think). Now I want to update to 5.1 and followed the instructions in this post. Also I flashed TWRP and the current SuperSU.
Now, SuperSU tells me that
No su-file is installed and SuperSU isn't able to install one

RootChecker tells me that
Sorry! Root access is not properly installed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But with ES File Explorer I can access / and all of its subfolders.
So it seems, that my phone is still kind of rooted but there's so su-file. Any hints how I can fix that?
Furthermore, the preferences crash when I try to open the Language and Input section. Everything else works flawlessly.

You can flash just system.img. You will not loose any data and rooting again is not such a deal. There are too many dependences to discover what actually went (still is) wrong.

Alright. Thanks for the help.
Just to be clear: I just flash the system.img from 5.1 like I've done before? And would you be so kind as to point me to a tutorial on how to re-root without wiping?
Thanks!

Alright, I re-flashed the systems.img and the current SuperSU zip (seems like I used an older one before) and root is back
The preferences section "Languages and Input" is still crashing though.
Edit: Nevermind. I had to enable the Google Keyboard, now everything is fine.
