Messed Phone Up Question About T-Mobile

I messed my phone up tonight and got it stuck in a bootloop since there is currently no RUU out I'm left with no choice but to go back to the store. Does anyone know if T-Mobile stores have the stock RUU and can restore it?

Hold volume down while it bootloops. I guarantee you'll make it into hboot.

I made it to hboot the problem is I cant do a restore because i dont have the tmobile stock ruu, I have a nandroid but cant get it over to the device because im unable to transfer. I think the only solution is to get the ruu and restore

If your problem is transferring files, can you not go to recovery and use usb-ms (while attached to the computer) which will then open the memory of the phone on the computer. That's what I did to transfer stock ruu when I recently bricked my evo 4g.

I'm currently in the process of trying to push a nandroid backup to the device via adb. The problem is that there's no stock ruu for tmobile as of yet so the only choice I have is to recover via a nandroid.

no success at all, I'm gonna head to the tmobile store here in a few and see what I can get worked out

I just came back from the bell store, and they said that they could exchange me for a new one but they don't have any in stock until Tuesday.
I soft bricked my nexus devices dozen times in the past few years, and was easily restored to stock. Lesson learned by me, never root a non nexus device within 1 week of its release.

Why even bother? Just push a ROM, wipe system and data, then flash it.

You don't need a ruu. What did you do to get into a bootloop.

Have you tried a factory reset? Did you use a custom kernel?

factory reset wont work but luckily i got it taken care of and got my device swapped and no custom kernel

dont know how you did that. ive flashed every rom i could for this device to problem recovering from bootloops

I managed to fixed mine finally, Installed twrp and mounted my USB via otg. Then flashed a custom ROM, rebootef,still suck at the boot screen. Flashed a custom kernel, and it finally got passed the boot screen.
So happy to get my One back up and running again.

had this problem. i sideloaded a rom on and then it was fine. use the m7 all in one to sideload from recovery and it should work fine.

How do I check if phone has a custom recovery?

Bought a used G2, it is unrooted and running stock 12B. The standard procedure for booting into recovery is to go into hard reset mode and continue. If there's a custom recovery phone will boot into that.
But if there isn't, it will actually do a full reset and lose all my data which I don't want to.
How can I check if phone has stock recovery on it?

if you didn't instal one then you don't have one.

I think his point is he bought it used and doesn't know and doesn't want to wipe his phone trying to find out...

Correct. From what I've read there's NO way to do this without risking a wipe.

Ummm... Can't you just turn on USB Debugging and execute 'adb reboot recovery'? You will either get custom recovery or the android dude with an open chest plate, should know pretty quick.

Try flashify from the playstore,it's free.it's actually a nice app to have, and it will definitely let you know if you have a custom recovery. Not sure if it's a root only app though.

KTU84P (4.4.4) Updater

Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, unlocking it will wipe your data and this method is not recommended.
This is a modified factory image that will not erase your user data or custom recovery. This can be used even if you’re rooted and with modified system files, xposed framework, or custom recovery. Once installed you will lose root, just flash supersu in your custom recovery. Xposed should still be on your device so just go into the app and re-install it. For any modified system files, you will have to re-modify those.
This is intended for those on the stock rom, rooted, and with a custom recovery. It’ll work if you have a custom rom but will put the stock system on.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device so flash at your own risk. Always backup before doing any significant changes to your device. I would recommend off your device in case something happens
.
To use, download the modified factory image here http://d-h.st/mYI Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the files.
Supersu by chainfire can be found here, CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Boot into the bootloader. From a cmd window opened where the flash-all file is just type flash-all. You can use shift, right click on the occam-ktu85l-Modified folder to open a command window in the correct folder. ADB/FASTBOOT must be intalled on your PC.
You can also just double click on the flash-all.bat
This is tested on a windows machine; however it should work on a Mac too, flash the flash-all.sh.

work like a charm on Mac

Man, you guys are fast! :good:

Could someone please tell me if this can be flashed through Wug toolkit?

Awesome! Will try now and report back ( on 4.4.3, xposed, cwm, root)
EDIT
working flawlesly. also no problems with hellscore karnel
ty alot for this OP

Aw damn, I didn't see this and I used the stock factory image...oh well :/ 4.4.4 is good for me so far....except wifi tethering. Anyone else having that issue, as well? It started with 4.4.3 for me.

Try factory reset, maybe it will fix your issue?

Could anybody share the extracted zip for those of us at work not near a computer??

First of all, sorry my poor English.
I have Custom Rom (Slimkat 4.4.3) with root and twrp. Can I flash this file? Do I lost my datas (download, photos, etc) ?
¿Do I have to put the 4.4.4 baseband ?.
Thank you very much and sorry by my poor english.

You have to wait for slimkat, this is the stock image

Worked perfectly on a rooted Nexus 4 with 4.4.2. All data was kept

Works! Txn bro!

Thanks, that was one suggestion I've found. Unfortunately nothing has worked for me. It apparently is a bigger issue than I knew. There's already a ticket for it here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516 Hopefully they fix it soon, because with 4.4 and 4.4.2 I got a lot of random reboots, and with 4.4.3/.4 I can't enable the wifi hotspot.

This flashes all the images contained in the factory image except for userdata and recovery. It's just the factory image with some modifications made to it. You could flash all those same images in fastboot if you wanted to

In that case, the proper reply to my question is : "I don't know".
Anyway, I will try with Wug and report later with results.

So, after trying myself with Wug toolkit, I can confirm that after a few clicks at my pc and flashing only boot, bootloader and system img files, I managed to upgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 with no problems.

Worked flawlessly. Of course you can manually fastboot flash system, boot, and radio and not the data from the occam zip package so as not to lose your data

NEXUS 6 OTA Question

Hello XDA, I recently rooted / unlocked my N6. I used WugFresh NRT to do so. However, I did not like the process of rooting so I (using NRT) flashed stock + unrooted and then factory reset followed by an OEM lock. Reading about lollipops new way of OTA, can I perform OTAs? Or is it too late?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Hi,
As long as you are now stock, no system partition changes and Stock recovery, you should get and be able to install an OTA.
But, I don't own the device, so I'll have your thread moved to your device section in case there's something I don't know about the N6 in particular.
Good luck!

Thanks! I'm a newb to this whole technology stuff. My first nexus device as well. I soft bricked it too while attempting to remove a ROM.

Not sure if this is of any value to you but considering the device apps are similar it may be used.

Oh to be honest I'm done with rooting for now. Ill wait till 5.0.2 comes out if I OTA good then great but if it fails (hopefully ill still be able to access phone if it does) I'll then flash and root. Hopefully its not the latter

If your completely stock and unrooted their is nothing to worry about. You will indeed get updates.

Even with lollipops new way of checking?
They check blocks
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

if you are rooted and on TWRP. Just download the 5.0.1 image. Extract it till you see the system.img and boot.img. Also download twrp and run
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I then reboot and then run
fastboot flash recovery whateverthefilefortwrpis.img
after that restart to system and twrp will ask if you want to install supersu. I let it install and now i'm on 5.0.1. Everything is intact and no wipe is required.

I don't think you quite understand what I am asking... I had 5.0.1 , I rooted and unlocked using NRT. I installed a ROM, didn't like it and attempted to remove. At the attempt to remove it, I screwed up and the setup wizard wouldn't start, so I FORCE FLASHED USING NRT Stock and unrooted. This allowed me to start the phone and use it, I factory reset then relocked the OEM. I do not want to root nor unlock, I am asking if that, after these events, and lollipops new way of OTA, will I be able to update via OTAs?

What is the new way lollipop handles OTA's?

Back then, it used to check file by file which was easily avoidable. Now, it checks a whole block of a partition, if it sees something as small a byte changed, it aborts. You can read more NY just googling Nexus 6 OTA root.

It's not hard to understand, actually quite simple. If you have flashed the stock image then there is nothing to worry about and there is no need for assumptions. Yes, you will receive OTAs. No need for the "what if" and "how about," if you aren't willing to accept an answer, don't ask a question.

If you're 100% stock then you will get ota.

Oh okay, thanks for the help! Once 5.0.2 rolls out, if it does not work, I'll just have to do it within NRT

Am I bricked?

So I just got this nexus 6 today, it was running dirty unicorns and I wanted a stock rom, so I downloaded the stock rooted n6 rom. I wiped first of course using twrp and installed the rom. The rom failed for some reason, and now when I reboot my phone just flashes the word Google over and over again.

can you enter in the bootloader?

Yeah, I got to my backup and retired it, just not sure if the Google flashing would indicate a boot loop or brick or whichever.

did you flash the right version rom for the right phone? anyways, you can push a rom to your phone via twrp. just connect to a laptop/computer via usb.
