Force OTA bricked my Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 General

The guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563400 endorsed by xda mods bricked my Nexus 5.
I'm not posting for help as I flashed back to 4.4
I'm posting as a beware and request it gets locked /deleted

guess there is a bit of confusion what bricked means.
the OTA screwed your system, that's different. sorry to hear that, but good you could recover the device with a system image I guess.

It have been discussed a gazillion times that this method is not safe to use, and I doubt anybody on here endorsed this way of doing.

Were you rooted? Was your ROM stock? Or did you have mods installed or custom kernel or Xposed Framework etc?
If you weren't on the stock ROM, installing OTA (regardless of how it is initiated) is known to cause problems. But if you were unrooted, or were rooted/stock, installing OTA wouldn't cause a 'brick'.

Well the thread was at the top of the page and open for many days so the mods thought it was safe. There was no warning.
Stock everything btw

Word.
Bricked to me means toast, done for, better paperweight than a phone, you wiped the everything and loaded different drivers, or something along those lines.

its a valid method that carries inherent risk, which is the op warned in his post. you decided to do it, it is your responsibility for whatever issues you had. your device was not bricked, nor did you damage your device. what it sounds like is that you have no business trying to modify your phone in any way as you can not handle messing things up.

^I handed it I reverted back to stock image

Can this not be the first question asked in every topic now. Root Will get done when its done. This will do pretty much the exact same thing has a hard reset.

I was simply asking if this ROM would help in achieving root, not if we had root? Can this type of response (flame) not happen every time a person asks anything related to root.

The ERIS was rooted with the assistance of a leaked ROM, so his question was quite valid.

Did the p-trace exploit work on the pre-OTA version (ie this one???)
If there were any pre-OTA exploits I think we found some great possibilities.
Anyone who was working on them care to elaborate?

Do you mean what would happen if you were to flash this rom to your phone? It would run as a normal phone (since it's just an HTC-signed rom, it wouldn't likely automatically give you root unless it was a test release, which I don't believe it is, however it may still contain exploitable bugs/flaws that could lead to a possible rooting =).

Yes it is, the second part of the statement clearly says what this will do.
Very exciting times ahead!
Wasn't the root from the Droid Eris about stuffing more data afterwards since there was no check for extra data after teh signed file.
This was closed already wasn't it? If so bringing up the Droid Eris is a mute point?
But I guess anything is possible but I remember the Eris hole being patched up

[Q] How long wait for root ?

I'm getting my z3c on the 1., and I'm very excited.
I have a question though;
How long do you think it'll take before we get root on this phone, to open up for some more advanced functions ? I know no-one can say for sure, but you guys migth take a shot based on your experiences.
This will be my first new phone in years, so I'm not in the loop about how long this usually takes, after a phone comes out.

If we had a recovery, that tool wouldn't even be necessary xP
I'm guessing Doomlord will, in time, come up with something. Doesn't he always...?
Though I do believe we need to find a security hole to even get a recovery working (correct me if I'm wrong here).
EDIT: I've also tried every one-touch root apps and various Windows programs. None of them work ;-;
Damn you, Google, for hiring exploit patchers with such skills!

Patience is a virtue. But having the reason I bought the device go away if I unlock the bootloader is just unfair, imo.

Having bought all my devices over 6 months after they were released was probably much better for me than I ever realized xD
I'm tinkering with the idea of modding a stock FTF with root and whatnot and flashing it with flashtool. Anyone tried that yet? Or is everyone too busy looking for that one exploit they're unlikely to find?
EDIT: Back to the drawing board. Seems like things have changed a lot since I last took a look at an FTF.

you can make a prerooted firmware with prfcreator, but then its a flashable zip and we can only flash ftf files?

Well considering most people don't want to unlock their bootloaders and miss out on the amazing camera, we can only flash FTFs (Sony-signed software).
(No system/boot write access, so finding an exploit is crucial.)

I really wanted to hold out too. But I just cant anymore. especially with all the great developers getting on this device. I know the Custom ROM support will be great and it helps to really debloat the device. Anyway I wont be going without any protection. Im getting the Note 4 and then i will purchase SquareTrade's $100 for 2 years Insurance in case anything goes wrong. I still haven't voided Knox on my Dad's S5 or my Note Pro 12.2 because I'm so paranoid.

Hi ONYXis. I have no agreement with jcase, and I don't like him. The thing is there is a very high risk of brick, I don't think its a good idea. That said I know someone who will look at it and Ill let you know of course.

His aboot is no different than the others ones, its not a patched or modified loader, and it will do no good having it.

In a text form, most that don't know will take "can" and "will" as the same thing. Hence, why I said "false hope"... I learned that only YOU know what YOUR taking about. Trying to get others to understand in a forum is a whole different ball game. I'm not getting bent out of shape, but to hint to someone, that you "can" fix your phone if you look at a particular section; is just wrong. Especially, when it's not a fix present. Just my 2 cents...
