Hi, I recently succeeded to switch to the last OTA of UT. By the way, big thanks to Lakotaubp who helped me. Some ultimate little settings are needed before having the best UT installation of all time, like for example the smileys that don't appear on the keyboard. On the previous versions I used, these seem to be pre-installed by default. What must I do to get these crucial paraverbal items? Due to this, people I communicate with now think I've gotten austere.

@mrt10001 Well, that was my first thought too : I had already attempted to rebuild a clean install from the UT installer when I discovered, and it failed.
After reading your message, I decided to go for it one more time.
And, for whatever reason, it's working. Nexus is back and in its greatest shape (OTA 24).

Thank you for your help!

Sorry I realized I posted in the wrong place, so whoever authorized can delete this thread, my mistake

Hi, I have a Nexus 5 which a few days ago was still hibernating in the darkest depths of a drawer, unused because of an old an broken version of UT, really full of bugs (so that updating to the current OTA wasn’t even possible to this point).

Then occurred the tragic moment : my daily and beloved OnePlusOne got smashed roughly so I had to get back to Nexus.

According to me at this moment, the best way to make it functional again and have the latest OTA version was to 1) switch to android version (hammerhead) 2) get back from android to Ubuntu with an ADB sideload, seems pretty easy at first sight

The problem is that, on one hand, using the recovery mode, I kind of erased the old version of UT. Turning the phone on just make appear the classic opening message « nexus 5 – powered by ubuntu – supported by ubports ».

On a second hand, the problem is that in this situation my device can’t communicate with my Linux Mint pc’s ADB : I have a error message reading « unable to mount nexus 5 : impossible to open mtp device ».

To be more precise, ADB sees the attached device but doesn’t seem to work on it, because of this mtp protocol… What I begin to understand is that I would easily have been able to make it work if I hadn’t erased the former version of UT, from which I’d have authorized ADB to sideload its image of android’s ota.

I used a few Linux softwares like for ex. Jmptfs to activate mtp protocol between Linux Mint and this damn Nexus 5, but failed till now - not much clear to me how I should use these softwares.

Anyone’s got an idea about how to solve this all ?
