My rooted, stock ROM, sprint galaxy nexus keeps trying to install the 4.3 update again. I already installed it and re-rooted. The second time it came up I installed it again thinking it was messed up or was a new update. Now I just think its loving stupid. Why is it trying to install the update again? Any ideas?

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.

My nexus 5 was working fine, rooted, unlocked, stock, but the signal kept dropping after the 4.4.2 update. I decided to do the built in factory resting under device settings backup and restore. The phone rebooted and got stuck on erasing for about an hour. I powered off the device and it went back to the erasing screen. I tried a manual flash of the original stock firmware from google but I get an error FAILED (remote: flash write failure). I tried flashing a custom recovery and flashing a ROM and it failed as well. I basically tried everything, fix permissions, format cache, erase cache, nothing helped. Worst part is I bought the phone off a guy at work and I'm worried about google transferring the warranty to me. Any suggestions?

Jerk McJerkface posted:Does it boot into fastboot correctly? Hold down the volume down key while you power the phone on. Yes, I can get into fastboot, thats where I have tried flashing the stock firmware which failed. I could only temporarily boot the custom recovery since flashing failed. Is there a firmware restore tool like odin? Anyone ever heard of google transferring warranties between accounts?

Looking through the tablet, I see SuperSU, a picture of what I'm guessing is the previous owner's room and boarding pass, and an episode of Community. I tried to do a factory reset but all this stuff is still there. How can I completely restore it to a stock installation? I just did this last week for a buddy that crashed his nexus 7. I was able to flash the 4.4.4 factory image. This was the only part that slowed me down. quote:If you are going to flash the nakasi android 4.3 JWR66Y factory image, you will need to download the bootloader from JWR66V and replace the one from the factory image.

ACTION AMERICAN posted:Could someone explain to me why rooting really isn't a thing anymore? I've got a nexus 5 I wanna I was thinking about rooting for XPosed but I'm trying to weigh the pros and con's of voiding my warranty. I think the thread is referring to rooting to install custom ROMs. I have a nexus 5 and the first thing I did was root it. Pretty much zero need for custom ROMs anymore, thank god we're all on the same page regarding that.

NihilCredo posted:Besides encryption (which is apparently a major battery drain) and keeping the address of the remote wipe service in a note in your wallet, are there any other measures you can take to make your unlocked-bootloader phone more secure in the case of theft? You can lock the boot loader using this app. That way its locked unless you have the PIN to get into the phone and open the app to unlock it as needed. It can also reset the tamper flag if you need to RMA the phone, not that they have checked in my experience. This applies to the Nexus 5. Also leave off USB debugging unless needed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

When can I load the final version of lollipop on my N5 and will it require a wipe/clean install or can I upgrade from kitkat? What is the state of root on lollipop, will have to root it again? Christ, just read that root will require a custom kernel. Ugh, really? r0ck0 fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Oct 23, 2014 |

Tunga posted:In fact the SuperSU zip could be made to pre-flash the kernel for you, which Chainfire hinted at in his post. So it might not actually require any additional steps for the user. Ya but what are we going to lose by running a custom kernel? Is this going to make updates harder, have to revert to a regular kernel before applying OTA updates?

Tunga posted:The custom kernel is literally the stock kernel with one very specific change. It will probably break OTAs (not certain on this, it's been a long time since I ran a custom kernel) but root frequently does that anyway and you have a Nexus device so you can just fastboot update the factory image just like always and then reapply the patched kernel. Anyone who is comfortable using a rooted phone should be more than comfortable with these things already. Currently I apply the update, then restore root, with SuperSU OTA root survival its even easier. But now you have to flash the original kernel, that was backed up somewhere? then apply the update, and flash the kernel and root again? Its not a matter of being comfortable doing this, its just a waste of time.

Looks like its been rooted/boot loader unlocked. It shouldn't be a problem. Were you able to restore the original factory image via odin? You should refer to XDA for restore solutions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389426 Also this looks pretty straight forward: Samsung Galaxy Note 2: back to stock, unroot, stock recovery and reset flash counter http://www.andromods.com/unroot-locking/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-restore-stock-no-root-reset-flash-counter.html r0ck0 fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Nov 11, 2014 |

Is there any way to change the white home button and google search bar to semi transparent like they were in kitkat? And change the app drawer to black instead of white. Rooted Nexus 5 lollipop.

Something to always carry around that keeps the phone unlocked? Anyone tested the wallet finder things to see if they work even though they are low energy?

So I took apart a motorola HX550 to use as a trusted bluetooth device. Removed the speaker and put it in a smaller enclosure so I can carry it in my pocket without it being too big. It works fine but I would like to disable using it as a media or phone device. I can only disable one, not both, otherwise it disconnects. I have it connected as a phone device so every time I get a call I have to switch to the handset before talking. Are there any tricks to only connect to the device but not route audio through it? I'm rooted if that helps. I tried googleing but everything comes up as not getting any audio when they want it.
