i just got a bootloop when installing luckypatcher
Added: everything was working fine including root. i followed the fastboot method.
Is it anything we can fix if we've already downloaded the zip? I just tried flashing it using twrp 2.6.3.4 and got "set_perm: some changes failed" and "E:Error executing updater binary in zip [file location]" so I'm guessing it's not anything massive.

AFAIK luckypatcher needs root, which is broken atm
Also, I'm not sure it works on ART
Hey Vomer, thanks for the rom. the only problem im having is that it wont let me install it. i couldnt find the updated rom that you said is a few pages back. plz help thanks and keep up the good work.
Installation aborted for me...
"E:Error in /data/media/0/Download/N5_L_PREVIEW_LPV79.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
What did I do wrong?
Maybe you should try updating your recovery. There's a reason for new versions. Mostly including bug fixes. The newest is 2.7.1.1. Update your recovery and try again.
It'll fail, youve gotta wait on th me new zip.Bloody hell I didn't realise my version was so old. Just updated it, having another go. I'll report back once it's done (or failed, either way.)
Well, read any of this thread, and you'll be filled inJust tried latest TWRP and CWM recovery. NO GO.
If I missed the post about root, PLEASE go easy on me, its been a long day! :laugh:
Thanks all!
So I wiped all partitions and flashed the files from google manually, but now my system is coming up with an incorrect amount of free space. I have the 32GB nexus 5, but now it is only showing a 12GB data partition. Any idea how to fix this?

- Boot into recovery (TWRP/CWM)
- Un-mount /system in TWRP/CWM
- Wipe: system, data, dalvik and cache
- Flash ROM (be patient - takes a while)
- Flash SuperSU (optional)
- Flash radio (optional)
- Reboot (first boot takes a while)
C:\adb\
- Go to the C:\adb\ folder
- hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK
- select "Open command window here".
su
cd Desktop/Android/ (note: Android is the directory extracted from zip file)
./ADB-Install-Mac.sh
Boot into TWRP to wipe cache, dalvik, data (not internal storage/SD) and system.
Reboot to bootloader and flash the following:
- fastboot flash bootloader <insert bootloader img name>
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot flash radio <insert radio img name>
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot flash system system.img
- fastboot flash boot boot.img // OR // fastboot flash boot <insert name of unecrypt boot.img>
- fastboot flash cache cache.img
- fastboot reboot
After you finish the above - reboot in to recovery (TWRP/CWM) and factory reset - then reboot
Got "No SDCard" error?
This is because 4.4.x seems to point to: storage/emulated/0 & L points to: data/media/0
Solution:
- Mount system in TWRP/CWM
- Wipe system, dalvik, data, cache
- Unmount system
- Install ROM
- Factory reset
- Reboot
- Go back to recovery & flash SuperSU (link above).
- Reboot
Still not resolved? try:
Open terminal and type
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
or type
su
restorecon -r /data/media/0/*
Still not resolved? back everything up and flash the userdata.img (erases your SD card)
Does Titanium Backup work?
Titanium backup and other similar apps do not work 100% on L... as expected.
How do I restore my user apps?
You can restore your apps using this method:
- While on a 4.4.x rom, go into TB > batch actions > recovery > 'create update.zip...' > select user apps
- Install L > flash the update.zip
- Done!
I get a "failed" error when flashing ROM
You did not unmount system or it got re-mounted automatically. Reboot your recovery > unmount system > flash ROM
SMS/MMS not working?
SMS & MMS is related to your APN and not the ROM. Check that.
Can I flash this over my 4.4.x rom?
Yes, but do a clean install
OMG x app is not working?
That's expected - a lot of apps need to be updated to be compatible with L
OMG xPosed is not working?
No, it's not compatible with ART which is the default runtime on L
Can I flash a custom kernel?
Yes, thanks to @eng.stk
