Hi! I have a problem with the phone, it only work when boot in fastboot with this:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot boot.img
When turn on the Idol, start with the Recovery. I try:
-restore boot, system and data backup. At the end, reboot system, and TWRP again. (I use the first Unj. Dev. Recvery).
-fastbooot -i 0x1bbb flash boot.img, and proces ok, when reboot the Idol, TWRP again.
-Mobile Upgrade 4.9.2. not work, say me that I have the latest version software. And restart the Idol, with TWRP.
Any new idea?
Thanks.
how does this happen? didnt you flash accidentaly twrp to boot partition? you can try my DCZ rom. If the device boot then you can use mobile upgrade q to get to stock.
I booted a recovery stock, and begin the problem.
Later try your Rom.
Thanks.
Finally can flash boot.img with petrov recovery.
Now my problem is that I have a system.img stock backup, I try flash it with fastboot command, the process finish ok, but then not are flashed the backup. But the partition system are wiped. Not write the image.
Any idea please??
Thanks
how you made the system.img backup and what commands do you use to put it back?
Hello @DallasCZ, the system.img is done with linux system. An user pass me the system.img and another user restore correctly and works.
In Spain are a 10_08 update (for Amena and Orange users), and only can update with restore stock.
For flash, I use:
adb devices
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash system system.img
and finally, when process are finished
fastboot -i 0x1bbb reboot
When finished, the system stays in Alcatel logo, and not boot. I open TWRP and the partition system are deleted.
I try the Mobile Upgrade, without system partition, but not work, say that have latest system firmware at 20%.
Thanks

have you waited long enough? the first boot could take time (2-10minutes)
I try wait more minutes later.
When I flash system.img, and the process finish, the Idol have to reboot only?
Or have I write the fastboot reboot command?
Thanks

Hi guys please don't get mad but i need the original voda uk rom for my android/Magic. a few issues have come to light that needs checking so i need to flash back voda uk rom to have it done. someone has already asked this and all the image files were provided but as single files. see here
http://onlinenovabg.com/voda_rom/

Try this
get into bootloader mode by pressing VOL DOWN + POWER button while turning on the phone. Connect it to PC, it should say FASTBOOT on the screen Put your backed up img files in the same folder as fastboot, then open command-prompt and do
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll need fastboot utility to do this and android sdk

no joy and nandroid back up only works if you backed up original before flashing............doesn't even work sometimes. i asked the guy you helped prev how he flashed it but no joy
Just go into fastboot mode (back + power)
Put system.img, boot.img and recovery.img in the tools folder of the android sdk
Open command prompt to the tools folder eg c:\android\tools
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
voila back to (unrooted) stock voda rom
Cant you simply use nandroid recovery to load them into your phone. Make a backup with nandroid system recovery, connect your phone to usb and replace the files in the "nandroid>Device ID"xxxxxxx">date" with the boot.img, cache.img etc.. then reboot phone in fastboot and do nandroid recovery. I'm not sure if this will work since i have not tried it, but i'm assuming it should as that's the folder i backed up on my PC when i used nandroid backup.

Hi peeps. ..
Really need someone to help here. I've sold my xoom and need to delete all my info off it. I've tried to do it the the normal way of just wipe data but when it reboots into recovery mode it just says..
Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And thats it, its just stuck there.
Now I bought it second hand and was told it had been rooted and flashed with a kernel that allowed you to alter the CPU.
My question is how do I get rid of my data and get it booting into this recovey mode?
I've installed Rom Manger from the market and tried installing CWM but it just gets stuck again on the dual core screen.
Mine is a UK 3G model.
Any advice, suggestions would be most welcome. It does boot fine into android 3.01.
I need to get this posted out today, hence the wipe.
Thanks,
Steve
Get the UK img files and reflash it back to stock through fastboot.
Grab the stock images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
Extract the images and run these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
I posted this on reddit...but didn't get much help...i hope the geniuses at xda can help me
As the title says, the camera app (any camera app) won't work because as you start any of them, it asks to insert the sd card, but this is a 2013 Nexus 5...so it doesn't have an sd card.
I've done a fair amount of research and the only thing that seems to be mentioned is factory reset. I've done that...both through the settings and twrp. The phone has a stock marshmallow rom.
I tried to download any other file and it won't let me download anything becauase the "sd card" is not available. So it's as if the internal sd card isn't mounted? how do I fix this? I don't have a computer nearby to do anything with adb...any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
The amount of storage according to the settings is correct (3gb used of 12 gb..16gb nexus 5)...all app permissions are correct. I've reflashed two different stock firmwares with the exact same result.
Try this:
boot into fastboot;
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase recovery (to erase existing recovery);
run this fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to flash stock recovery from stock ROM)
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase userdata;
run this fastboot command to flash the usedata img from the stock ROM: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img;
boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset and wipe cache;
reboot.

I'll try that tonight or tomorrow morning. Where do you suggest I download recovery.img (the stock recovery)?
Thanks for the help one way or another.. Hehe
The stock Google images are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
I assume the phone has an unlocked bootloader since you were able to flash stock ROMs.
What did you do between all being fine and now this problem?

I sold the phone to someone I know. I had a rom (i can't remember which)...so before i sold the phone, i encrypted it, wiped it clean, flashed the stock rom (and radio)....and did a factory reset.

Thanks! I used the factory images and flashed everything from the compressed archive and it worked..you're a lifesaver. I guess I had to go further and reset everything..but thanks again!
Hello, i'm trying to upgrade my rooted nexus 5 from 5.1.1 LMY48I to 6.0.1 MOB30H without losing my data, but at first boot, stops at android logo. I follow this steps with nexus root toolkit:
- Erasing Boot, Cache, Recovery and System.
- Flashing bootloader, radio, cache, boot and system with official .img files from Google developers webpage
- Flashing recovery with TWRP .img
After all these steps, stops on android logo...
Any ideas?

Do a factory reset
Do NOT use toolkits!
My first advice is: Do NOT flash using toolkits! You never know what's exactly going on if you don't do it manually. There are plenty of reasons why to not use them...
Okay, now my second advice: Don't flash cache partitions. Caches are built during boot/runtime. However, as far as I know, a corrupted cache partition can lead to bootloops - so it's better to just wipe them before boot...
I don't know what the toolkit did and what not - but try to follow these steps:
1. Install fastboot and adb
Preferred method is via Android Studio command line tools from official source: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html - Scroll down to "Get just the command line tools". You can decide between an installer or just a zip. It's your choice.
2. Boot your phone in bootloader mode and execute these commands one by one...
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use the proper files! Extract bootloader and radio from latest Google factory image and download TWRP from twrp.me!
3. Boot your phone into TWRP and choose wipe -> DO NOT SLIDE TO FACTORY RESET -> advanced wipe -> cache + dalvik ticked, rest unticked -> slide to wipe
4. Try to boot...
Not sure if it works - but that's the only thing I can think of right now
EDIT: @GtrCraft That would definitely solve his bootloop, but he wants to keep his data Hopefully he heeds my advice to keep his hands off of toolkits!

Then he should do all the ota's instead of flashing the factory image
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA Labs
Don't do full-quotes please.
Seriously? His device is rooted and therefore not receiving OTA (over-the-air!) updates. He'd have to catch all of the zips and flash them manually. So why not just use the system.img?

Because you have to factory reset the device. That's the downside of being rooted and wanting to update, especially with M
I'm sorry to say that you're terribly wrong. I hope you didn't factory reset your device every single time you did an update just because you're rooted! Actually you can use the flash-all.bat file that's provided with the factory image. Just remove the "-w" flag from the "fastboot update" command. This will stop fastboot from wiping your /data partition.
That's what the OP could use as well - however, for his better understanding I listed the commands separately.
For what it's worth, this is the script that I've been using since the monthly updates started (copied from another XDA thread which I've forgotten - apologies to the OP of this script).
Preparation.
- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.
- Download factory image and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash radio radio.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system system.img
8. fastboot erase boot
9. fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. fastboot erase cache
11. fastboot flash cache cache.img
12. fastboot reboot-bootloader
13. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
14. From bootloader boot to TWRP and reflash SuperSU
Start to finish - 15 minutes, including the rebuilding of the apps. No data loss (because you haven't touched the data/userdata partition).
I don't say that every step is essential (I note the comment from experience7 about cache) - but this works fine for me.
Please feel free to amend or correct...

Same problem again. I'm trying all 6.x.x versions but same problem. All commands running without error.
In that case all I can suggest is that you bite the bullet and run the flash-all.bat. Back up all your important stuff (photos, etc.) because you'll lose them.
I've seen it suggested often that you should always do a full wipe when upgrading between major versions (e.g. 5 to 6), so maybe this will fix your problem and give you a working phone even if you lose some data and have to set up from scratch.
P.S. Please "Quick reply" - don't repeat the entire previous post. We've all read it; we don't need to read it again.

Excellent advice. It's amazing that so many experienced senior members with all their years of combined knowledge missed that blindingly obvious idea...
Problem solved by unfreezing all frozen apps from Titanium Backup before upgrade.
Thank you!
I accidentally did "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" when trying to flash the stock recovery and now it just boots into recovery all the time. I was able to reflash TWRP so I can boot into that and I've restored the Boot partition from the backup I made but that didn't help, so I tried restoring the vendor image and system image, which didn't help either. Then I tried restoring the individual backups I made of the dtbo, EFS, modem, persists and recovery+vbmeta but it still boots into TWRP when I try to boot into system.
I hope someone can help me fix this, as I bought it to give to my brother for his birthday in a couple of weeks!
I note that the recovery.img is 65,536KB, which is the same size as my backed up boot.emmc.win but obviously they're not the same thing.
EDIT: OK, panic over! I wiped System and installed the A20 ROM from the ozip and it's working again now. Phew!
May I ask if how did you do that?
I think we almost have the same situation but rather different reason..Please help
