As Rom manager rebbot doesn't work, I installed Root checker and it told me thet the phone was not rooted properly. So I decided to follow another guide [HACK] Superboot Method for 2.3.2 (GRH78C) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/hack-superboot-method-2-3-2-grh78c-t927838).
Now the phone doesn't work! In other words when I press the power button the Google logo screen remains and Android doesn't start.
If i hold volume up and power button I gain the following:
Code:
Fastboot mode
Product name: Hearing
Hw version - rev 52
Bootloader version - I902XXLC2
Baseband version - I902XXKI1
Carrier info - EUR
Serial number - 3035...
Lock state - unlocked
and I can choose:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]Reboot bootloader
[*]Reboot
[*]Recovery
[*]Power off
[/LIST]
I think that the problem is that the phone is looking for the file "install-recovery.sh" that I renamed into "install-recovery.sh.old".
How can I reanimate my Nexus S?

I'm going to put it step by step using the Nexus root tool kit (NRTK)
1. download a flashable recovery of your choice (CWM 6.0.4.3 Philz 6.19.3 or TWRP 2.7.0 or higher on all these)
2. download the kitkat rom you want to install
3. download the Gapps that match the rom you chose ( if a 4.4.2 rom get a 4.4.2 gapps if 4.4.4 then 4.4.4)
4. boot your phone into bootloader / fastboot
5. connect your phone to your pc (it should recognize it)
6. open your NRTK and go to the advanced section and choose to temporarily boot custom recovery (this will be TWRP 2.6.3)
7. ON YOUR PHONE select mount usb
8. ON THE COMPUTER open the device/folder for your phone and create a new file on your SD card ( I called mine " !zip " this kept it ontop of the list of files) and copy the recovery, rom, and kernel to this folder.
9. ON YOUR PHONE unmount usb, return to the main menu screen and select install, find that folder you made and select the recovery zip that you copied and swype to install
10. after it installs (10seconds) return to the main menu, select reboot then reboot recovery ( you may get a warning about not having a rom or su, ignore both)
11. now you are on your KK compatible recovery (nearly there)
12. No matter which recovery you chose find the section to wipe or format your phone (DO NOT WIPE OR FORMAT YOUR SD CARD !!!! this will wipe everything off your phone and may make it hard / impossible to restore) and ONLY wipe or format system, cache, and dalvik partitions. On philz there is an option to wipe to install a new rom (this is a onestep version of the above)
13. return to the main menu page and select install, choose your rom and install, then your gapps and install ( if on TWRP you can select both by choosing the option to add a zip to flash)
14. the moment of truth, now that you have flashed both rom and gapps, you need to return to the main menu and select reboot and reboot system...
15. assuming you did all of this issue free, you are free to enjoy your phone..
*if you don't have your phone recognized by your computer / NRTK, you need to follow the instructions for NRTK to get the correct drivers for your computer
**if you are not clear on what you are doing, ask before you make a mistake
***Your custom rom will be pre-rooted, so no need to try to root it
Hi,
I have S2 plus phone from friend with stock 4.2.2 ROM installed. Can someone recommend me tutorial I can follow and ROM that is stable enough for daily usage?
Thx,
Rooting process:
1. Download Odin,CWM recovery and SuperSU zip from the following links:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934547981 - Odin
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ - SuperSU zip
http://d-h.st/bq8 - this is CWM for GT-I9105 model(the one without NFC)
http://d-h.st/II4 - this is CWM for the GT-I9105P model(the one with NFC)
2. Next copy the SuperSU zip to your phone and reboot it into download mode(Hold Volume Down,Home and Power)
3. Open Odin and select PDA and choose your downloaded recovery and un-check auto restart
4. Press Start and when it finishes take out the battery

Yay you are now rooted!
And the ROM I would recommend using is either XOSP 6.3 or Resurrection Remix
Hi,
I want to upgrade my Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1, not rooted) to Android 7 unofficially, so I downloaded Santhosh's Android 7 Build for Nexus 5.
After downloading it, I booted my Nexus 5 (connected to my MBP) to fastboot then using Terminal I had unlocked the bootloader, and I flashed the latest TWRP image for Nexus 5 to my Nexus 5. After I rebooted my Nexus 5 to recovery where it showed a screen (postimg(dot)org/image/rw3zdlmyt/), after which my phone kept rebooting in a boot loop.
I booted to fastboot after using the key combination, and used fastboot to erase the recovery and the system.
Now I'm all ears to get my Nexus 5 to Android 7.
Please help me out. I appreciate all your help.
Thanks,
Agneev

How should I flash back to stock since I've used the fastboot command fastboot erase system and fastboot erase recovery. Does my erasing of these 2 internal partitions change anything?? Since I've erased recovery, how do I get stock recovery back??
P.S. Thank you for replying.

Thank you for the reply, as I currently don't have recovery mode installed so does that change anything?
Also I'm flashing Android 7 directly, so if there is any other thing I need to know, please tell me as I would appreciate that.
To flash directly to 7, put the phone into fastboot mode and flash TWRP, boot into TWRP, mount data, copy the 7.0 ROM to the phone, and flash it.

apparently, TWRP says "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)"
In this case, I would start over by flashing the latest stock ROM, including the userdata.img, and then perform a factory wipe using stock recovery, flash twrp, flash 7.

So should I download the 6.0.1 image for Nexus 5 and then use Nexus Root Toolkit and flash all the .img files individually or should I just launch the batch file inside the 6.0.1 image and let it install automatically?
I would go with the latest stock MM ROM.
I always flash manually but the NRT accomplishes the same thing. Not sure if NRT flashes userdata.img. If the phone hangs at the boot animation and NRT did not flash userdata.img, you should manually flash of userdata.img and factory reset using stock recovery.

Try this first...
First install nexus 5 Driver in you PC
1) put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it to pc.
2) open Nexus Root ToolKit ,select your device as nexus 5 and android build version as android 6.0.1 (MOB31E) and click ''Lunch" under ''Advanced Utilities'''.Now under ''Fastboot Boot'' select ''Custom Recovery'' and then OK.you nexus will automatically booot into TWRP recovery(you don't need to flash twrp recovery before",since it will boot your phone into twrp for temporary when you click ''custom recovery'' option)
3) if your phone boot into Twrp then its ok otherwise you may have not properly installed or missing nexus 5 drivers in your pc.
GUIDE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION OF NEXUS 5 DRIVER(see attached image).
4) Now transfer your (android 7.0+gapps) zip files in your nexus 5.since you can access you internal storage in PC in TWRP mode.
5) Before doing this step..please backup your current ROM because this step will erase everything from your phone except your internal storage.
Now select WIPE> Advance wipe and select Dalvik cache,system,data,cache and leave unchecked ''INTERNAL STORAGE''..Otherwise you will end up wiping you internal storage.
6) After wiping finised,go back to main menu option and select ''INSTALL'' and navigate to your Android 7.0 zip file folder and swipe to install..
7) after successfull installation you may get red error at last but ignore it and select system to boot..
8) if everything goes well then again boot into TWRP as described above and flash gapps and reboot.
9) after your phone starts you may get some apps errors like forced close or stop working or not responding..In this case just go to setting >Apps >just click 3 dots at top right corners and select show system and find that apps if it is a system app or user app and Grant all permission to that app.
10) now root your android 7.0 if you want to use rooted applications. like Adaway
(to block ads),Greenify(to increase battery life and performance),SCR Pro(to record screen),MiXplorer(advance file manager),LMT Launcher(to increase your display size),
CF.lumen(for eye comfort),Link2SD,Tubemate etc
11) But remember Since android 7.0 has been released recently..there are more chances of bugs in ROM,many apps may not compatible with android 7.0...as myself rolled back to android 6.0.1 after using android 7.0 for few days due to some issues with my favourite apps.
IF YOU STILL UNABLE TO FLASH ANDROID 7.0 DUE TO SOME ERRORS...
THEN TRY THIS METHOD...
first download nexus 5 factory image 6.0.1
1) connect your phone to pc in bootloader mode and open nexus root toolkit.
2) now look up for option ''Flash Stock+Unroot'' then hit and press OK.
3) now do as i shown in attached images (load factory image 1 and 2) and wait if it ask to download hatch like thing then allow,it may require internet connection and watch it..
4) process will begin automatically in cmd and reboot into system after completion.
5) now after system boots up to stock rom,just enable ''developer option'' by tapping 3,4 times in ''build number'' under setting >about phone and turn on ''developer option'' and enable ''usb debugging'' option.
6) now keep your phone connected to pc and click ''ROOT'' option in Nexus Root Toolkit.
It may require internet connection to download root files if its already not downloaded and wait till root.
7) after rooting your nexus 5.Again boot your phone into twrp mode (temporarly or else you can flash twrp permanently) using nexus root toolkit and backup your whole system file if you need it to restore at future.
GUIDE FOR FLASHING TWRP PERMANENTLY IN NEXUS 5...
a) download twrp recovery from here... https://twrp.me/devices/lgnexus5.html
and rename it to recovery.img (to replace your stock recovery)
b) now select ''advanced utilities'' in nexus root toolkit and slect ''Browse/other'' under ''Fastboot Boot'' option and click ok and browse your recovery.img(i.e renamed twrp recovery.img)
c) now it will automatically flashes twrp and will replace your stock recovery.
8) now in twrp recovery select wipe >advance wipe> Dalvik cache,system,data,cache and leave unchecked ''INTERNAL STORAGE''..Otherwise you will end up wiping you internal storage.
9) after this follw the same steps mentioned in previous first method...
for sake of more information you can also change your boot animation logo on nexus 5 startup..just by going to system >media>replace (bootanimation.zip) to your desired boot animation but before replacing change your new boot animation to (bootanimation.zip) and set permission as RWRR in properties.

Tested with D838 - 16GB
1. If you are not in stock rom, using computer flash with LG Flash Tool 2014. Using D83820d_00.kdz rom. (Lollipop rom)
2. Once done, enable developer option, enable USB debug mode, and connect to computer MTP option.
3. Root the device using one-click root software for LG G PRO 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...lipop-t3056951
4. After rooted, restart the phone and copy the cyanogenmod 13 zip file to internal SD main directory of the phone.https://mega.nz/#!MNNQWABB!tsc_dxAW8_WWvfyVOGflOoQRJjk3l3z6mqMro8_cojQ
5. Then, we need to flash with custom recovery - D838 LP Recovery. This is chinese version. Connect to USB again and unzip the RAR then run the bat file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c6yfckg1gakys5u/D838 lp recovery.rar?dl=0
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4k...ew?usp=sharing
6. After flashed the custom recovery, it will start up at recovery mode. 1)Clear the cache, 2)clear the dalvik cache, 3)clean/erase phone for new rom.
7. The flash the zip file of cyanogenmod 13 zip. And restart.
8. The phone will start with CM 13 now. You need to visit to gapps in order to install google play. Select ARM, Android 6 and PICO option to download the zip file.
http://opengapps.org/
9. Off phone and boot up in recovery mode again (Press vol up and power button at the same time). Then flash the zip file.
10. Once done, boot up the phone as usual. Then you will find Google Play in the CM 13 OS. Register google mail to complete.
11. Now when you download safetynet test, you found it failed because the phone has root feature in Developer Option and SelinuxModeChanger is exist in CM13.
12. Goto Developer Option to enable root. Then install "System app remover (ROOT)" from google play (grant root priv). Once installed, use this app to uninstall SELINUXModeChanger.
13. Once uninstalled, install SuperSU from google play (grant root priv). Go to setting of SuperSU and choose unroot phone. The SuperSU will remove root feature from Developer Option.
14. Now your CM 13 is clean. Rerun the safetynet to test again. It should be GREEN this time.
The safetynet test is important to ensure your phone is totally clean from alter and can install sensitive application.

Tested with D838 - 16GB
1. If you are not in stock rom, using computer flash with LG Flash Tool 2014. Using D83820d_00.kdz rom. (Lollipop rom)
2. Once done, enable developer option, enable USB debug mode, and connect to computer MTP option.
3. Root the device using one-click root software for LG G PRO 2.

4. After rooted, restart the phone and copy the cyanogenmod 13 zip file to internal SD main directory of the phone.https://mega.nz/#!MNNQWABB!tsc_dxAW8_WWvfyVOGflOoQRJjk3l3z6mqMro8_cojQ
5. Then, we need to flash with custom recovery - D838 LP Recovery. This is chinese version. Connect to USB again and unzip the RAR then run the bat file.

6. After flashed the custom recovery, it will start up at recovery mode. 1)Clear the cache, 2)clear the dalvik cache, 3)clean/erase phone for new rom.
7. The flash the zip file of cyanogenmod 13 zip. And restart.
8. The phone will start with CM 13 now. You need to visit to gapps in order to install google play. Select ARM, Android 6 and PICO option to download the zip file.

9. Off phone and boot up in recovery mode again (Press vol up and power button at the same time). Then flash the zip file.
10. Once done, boot up the phone as usual. Then you will find Google Play in the CM 13 OS. Register google mail to complete.
11. Now when you download safetynet test, you found it failed because the phone has root feature in Developer Option and SelinuxModeChanger is exist in CM13.
12. Goto Developer Option to enable root. Then install "System app remover (ROOT)" from google play (grant root priv). Once installed, use this app to uninstall SELINUXModeChanger.
13. Once uninstalled, install SuperSU from google play (grant root priv). Go to setting of SuperSU and choose unroot phone. The SuperSU will remove root feature from Developer Option.
14. Now your CM 13 is clean. Rerun the safetynet to test again. It should be GREEN this time.
The safetynet test is important to ensure your phone is totally clean from alter and can install sensitive application.
