  1. Hey! I managed to delete my OS on my Nexus 6P. I downloaded the factory images, but I don't have a platform-tools folder. Can someone help me install my OS on my phone again? 😀

  2. Thank You so much guys, this video (and other web pages) SAVE MY NEXUS 5 it just didnt turned on at the morning and keep showing Google Logo with no answer at all only can access to fastboot … well at the end i have my Nexus 5 again :3

  3. I have to admit, although the video was fast paced, it was thanks to the guys at @AndroidAuthority that I was able to fix my Nexus 5 from a "google limbo boot" (not the same as loop boot).

    Loop boot(1) vs. Limbo boot(2): certain people experience (1) where their Nexus 5 continues to boot up over and over again, distinguishable by the phone vibrating as it begins to boot up each time. (2) On the other hand, is what I experience where there was only one boot initiated but the "Google" screen did not proceed past it. Conclusion: Although (1) vs. (2) may seem similar, they are 2 different problems with 2 different "remedies".

    My suggestion to those whom experience my problem is to not go into Recovery mode right away… try clear partition cache and rebooting it via bootloader mode several times before you try a factory reset or, like me, needing to flash the factory image altogether as my last resort.

    You HAVE to read the written version to fully understand the instructions… and the Google Developers site is NOT a tutorial as they claim, it can be a little confusing actually.

    If you would like to skip the whole ADB/ Fastboot downloads, which are heavy in MB's, I suggest downloading this "lite" version I used to unlock and relock my device.

    Hope this helps, and again great video/tutorial from these guys.

  6. Hi guys,
    I have android 4.4.4 Kitkat of build number KTU84P on my nexus 5 and it still hasn't gotten the lollipop update. Before I resort to manually installing it or anything of that sort, I was wondering if not getting the update at this time is normal, and why is it happening?
    Thanks

  7. What an arrogant video. Really. "The Android SDK installed on your machine with ADB and Fastboot command successfully working." SUUUURE! Thank you so much, "Tutorial"! Thank you so much! This video reminds me of those funny pictures on how to draw a face. First, make a circle. Then draw the rest of the face.

  8. Hey i have an Nexus 5 butt when i try to install the Android l 5.0 then it is going to boot and starts instelling butt when it is running for a couple minutes it says error
