Jan posted:Just pulled the 4.4 OTA update on my Nexus 4 without unrooting. It rebooted into CWM Recovery and installed normally, but I lost root after that. After rebooting into recovery, it seems like it had reverted to stock recovery. Sounds reasonable enough. Thanks! I'm just gonna go for it and see what happens. Worst case I can update my recovery while I'm at it. Edit: Welp, should have trusted my instincts. Now I'm stuck at the boot animation. Awesome. drat you, set_metadata_recursive!

Updating from 4.3 to 4.4 OTA didn't work because of the edits I made to system files, but I just downloaded the image source direct from Google and extracted/flashed just the bootloader, boot image, system image, and then cleared cache from fastboot. The nice thing though is that all I had to do was reroot, apparently LTE and in-call voice works now without having to make changes to files in /system. The APN setup now has fast.t-mobile.com as default in 4.4. Also, you can sideload the new Google Now integrated launcher on non Nexus 5 devices.

My Nexus 5 is arriving next week and I want to unlock and root it. Will root and unlocked bootloader still allow me to get OTA updates from Google? What about custom recoveries? I think that is needed if I want a custom ROM. Can I get OTA updates after replacing the recovery?

LastInLine posted:An unlocked bootloader doesn't affect OTAs at all. To root you'll need the custom recovery to flash the superuser zip. This will also not affect your ability to flash OTAs but you would have to flash it manually and you'll lose root and the recovery when you do (easily redone). So to keep the ability to get automatic OTAs I should just unlock the bootloader and hold off on root, which needs a custom recovery? Right now I don't see the need to get ROMs this early in the Nexus 5's life cycle.

You can also root and then put the stock recovery back, if you want. then the OTAs will run normally. But you'll still (usually) lose root after running an OTA so I don't really see the benefit. Flashing OTAs (or even entire builds) is so trivial on a Nexus that you just don't really need to worry about this stuff. I haven't run an OTA for years, I just grab the entire image from here and fastboot update over the top of the previous build. Takes like two minutes and you don't have to sit around waiting for your phone to be chosen for the OTA.

LastInLine posted:If you had a custom recovery it would boot to recovery and stay there but there's nothing stopping you from then hitting "flash zip from SD", navigating to it, and starting the update. It's an extra five seconds and three button presses. I don't know about CWM but TWRP is smart enough to recognize the OTA and flash it automatically. I flashed that recent 4.4 bug fix without having to touch anything, but then I lost TWRP.

SalTheBard posted:The act of rooting your phone doesn't wipe it. Installing custom ROMs is where you would lose apps. If your phone is rooted though apps like Titanium and Helium will back up your phone that's not entirely true. unlocking the boot loader will erase the phone and that's the first step in rooting.

I love having the touch version of a recovery, because when I used CWM, it almost always moved two to four items at a time when I hit a volume key instead of just one. Infuriating.

You'll have to enable installing apps from untrusted sources to install Framaroot. Edit: as stated on the original site, this method does not work for 4.3 or any phone with patches for those vulnerabilities.

Does anyone have MIUI on a GSM Galaxy Nexus? I loaded it up and apparently it bootloops every time you connect to an unsecured wifi network. Makes going to Starbucks a pain. I can provide more details if anyone has seen a similar issue. Googling it hasn't turned up any leads.

Question : Is there anyone here with an S4 on AT&T , with the dreaded MF3 firmware who has rooted, safestrapped, and all that nonsense, who has installed a custom rom (more specifically, a Google Play Edition style 4.2.2 rom) to the Stock rom slot? There's a couple of people on XDA who've claimed to have done it successfully, but they disappear whenever anyone asks any questions about it. I want to just run the play edition rom, but the drawbacks of running in a rom slot (storage issues, no bluetooth input supported) are deal breakers for me. I don't care about trying any other roms or being able to recover. I'll flash it back in Odin if poo poo goes awry. I was on MF3 with SS and all that, but I then flashed back to bone stock, re-rooted, sideloaded the 4.3 update that was later pulled by Samsung/ATT(kept root with SuperSU pro). I called AT&T and reported a bunch of the issues 4.3 people were having and now they're sending me another 4.2.2 phone soon.

Just received my Nexus 5, unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed Cataclysm rom and I keep getting an insufficient space error on Titanium Backup (which states the internal has over 20 GB free) First thing I attempted was fix permissions in TWRP, I've tried changing the backup folder back and forth between /sdcard/, /storage/emulated, /storage/legacy, etc (my TitaniumBackup folder in all of these paths say folder is not writable), reinstalled SuperSU. These have resolved the issue according to other responses in XDA, and I'm not sure what else to try. At this point, I'm contemplating making a nandroid backup, full wipe, reinstall, and running the update.zip I made from my Nexus 4. What am I missing? air- fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Nov 27, 2013 |

You say you've reinstalled SuperSU but are you sure you have the latest binary?

LastInLine posted:Fixing permissions never does anything so that wouldn't work but changing the backup folder location should. I've had the same problem and solved it that way. IIRC, on that process - I use the removal/cleanup option in SuperSU, reboot, download from Play store, then I'm prompted to install the latest binary.

Yeah I'm pretty baffled as well. I had a similar problem on the Nexus 4 and it was fixed by changing from emulated to legacy. I adb pushed my Titanium Backup folder which was on my Nexus 4, and I actually also noticed other folders/files which I've pushed via adb aren't able to be deleted. In retrospect, I actually should have flashed an update.zip based on my N4 backups to begin with and made a fresh backup folder.

It's been pretty terrible for me. GPS fails to lock on half the time and I've had tons of random reboots and crashes for the camera. Speaking of which, what's the proper way to restore a nandroid backup? I made one prior to updating to 10.2 but want to roll back. Do I wipe system & data first and then restore or is there a better method?

So here's a question. I have unlimited data on T-Mobile but only 2.5 GB for the mobile hotspot... Is there a root-only app that lets me get around this limitation? Using the android phone's data, but it really knowing it's actually being used as a hotspot? Using a Nexus 5.

If you're not using a carrier-branded ROM, which I don't think is a thing on Nexus GSM devices, I'm pretty sure nothing reports to the carrier. I can say for sure that as far as my account page shows my data usage today is just few bursts of "Internet Access", while I was streaming Pandora on my phone and simultaneously browsing on my tethered laptop. At least on CM10.2 for SGS4 there appears to be no differentiation, and I don't think CM makes any notable changes to AOSP tethering.
