Hi all,
I recently sent my Nexus One in for the power button to be repaired. It came back no problem, however it did say in the e-mail that HTC would flash 'the latest version of android' during the repair process. My device came back with android 2.2.1 and will not update. I have had it back 4 days now, and have been checking system updates and running checkin's. Yet nothing. I'm in the UK if that helps.
So the question is, why is it not updating? How am i going to get it to update? Should i just root it and manually update?
Sounds like your have the vadafone rom.

So HTC have flashed the Vodafone ROM back to the phone :/
Why would they do that?! Ill just have to root again.
Hello guys
I have a stock Rom dev. Edition with root.
I'm having some issue and wanna go back to stock. I can keep root as once I do like a factory reset, I will root again
I tried the factory rest from settings but it doesbt work. So I was gonna do a wipe from recovery but was worried I would end up without any Rom.
Can some one tell me the way to do it?
Thanks.

you should be able to do a factory reset through recovery without problem. the rom will not be deleted as long as you don't format the sd card/system partition..
I just updraded to the 5.1. r1
ever since doing this, my phone capacity went from 64g........to 32g
Am I the only one with this issue?
@nlesir you must preform a factory reset to fix.
It is a rarity but you are not the only one. sorry bro. factory reset

This happens when you flash the userdata.img file. You should never flash that file. Use the command "fastboot format userdata" instead.

Hi guys, I accidentally factory data reset my droid turbo... there's a recovery tool online but it required root on my phone, but now my phone is on 5.1, people has been saying its unable to root 5.1 at the moment, does that mean all my files are long gone?:crying:
All gone.
I'm legitimately curious, how did you reset it accidentally? There is a fair amount of tapping one has to go through to complete the action. Even in recovery you have to scroll like 5-6 times to finally complete the action. I'm sorry, that really does suck.
Unless you have it erase on too many incorrect lock screen attempts. That can happen.
Ah, I never use anything but a swipe for lockscreen security, that would be brutally annoying though obviously useful.
Once wiped the files are unrecoverable.

No. Verizon doesn't want you to be able to root your phone. If you are on stock 5.1, you cannot go backwards.
So I still have not received Android 6.0 on my Completely stock Nexus 6.
I'm on LMY48T...about a week ago I received a random update but nothing
changed.
It was bought from Motorola and is now activated on VZW as a Non-VZW Nexus 6
(even though that shouldnt matter)
Any Ideas?
(I don't want to flash the image files because i really do not want to go through the set
up process again. I plan on selling it as soon as i get my Nexus 6p anyways.)
Verizon has not yet released an OTA over their network to take their special N6 lollipop build to the unified Marshmallow, and has not even given a date yet for that release. I think if you have your Verizon SIM in place, the OTA will need to come from them.
I know that when I switched from my Verizon SIM to my Cricket prepaid SIM a couple of weeks ago, the Marshmallow unified OTA was immediately offered. Since then, I have used both the Verizon and my T-Mobile SIM and no OTA has been offered, my N6 is "currently up to date" on the international lollipop build it shipped with.

Do you recommend taking it out and using WiFi? What other options do I have?

I recommend installing a Cricket/AIO prepaid SIM and getting the OTA that way, if you don't want to sideload.
I know it's not so practical, sorry, but it's the only way I know for a fact works.
What is so strange about Verizon not sending 6.0 out OTA is that it's all the same exact build. No need for them to withhold it, they are just being assholes as usual.

I'm on project fi, still on 5.1.1 waiting patiently. My Nexus 9 got the update a few days ago...

That actually works?

It did once. I refused the update, switched in my Verizon sim and then my T-Mobile sim, no updates, then I put back in my Cricket sim and now no update.
So, might have just been lucky that one time. I am in a different part of the country now than when it offered the update...

Is there a way to Sideload and not wipe data? or a safe way? (I mean that's technically how OTA does it anyways, i would assume) I would sideload if i knew it wouldn't wipe data.
I might just say screw it and install a 6.0 ROM and sell on Swappa as that (or per request a different ROM).

Sideloading doesn't wipe data. If you flash a factory image it will wipe data by default, but sideloading the OTA is just like getting the update normally. I would look into the WugFresh tool, as it greatly simplifies the process.
[edit] If you're planning to sell it on Swappa wouldn't you need to wipe data anyway? A factory data reset is definitely recommended before selling a device.

If you have unlocked the bootloader, you can flash the factory images, if you want to keep your data just don't flash the userdata image but flash all the rest.... there are instructions all over the place for this.
OTA zip
If you don't want to wait and don't want to flash the factory image, you can sideload the ota zip through ADB.

I appreciate the response guys. I ended up using WugFresh and just flashing the whole system image. I got tired of waiting and my battery life was terrible on 5.1.1. Now that i am on 6.0 it's like night and day difference. At this point im usually plugged into the wall at like 15% and im now on like 71%.
Once again thanks
