So, a funny thing happened last week (which kept me away from here more than usual). Just as I was going out of town for the week for business, my computer hard drive on a computer that was not that old (but also not under warranty, of course) died. Completely. Dead.
So, I've replaced the hard drive and have decided to see if I can do things in the future via the fastboot method rather than by WUGs tookit.
Or at least start out that way.
Right now my phone is already rooted and has DU still on it so there isn't that much to do yet (I even did a DU update using my back-up Linux computer). I have already downloded the mini-SDK files from here and unzipped them.
I have two questions to start with.
1. Is there any sense of which USB drivers are best for a Nexus 5 where there are no drivers on the computer. The LG drives, the universal naked drivers or the Google Nexus 5 drivers? (My source is
this page.)
2. The root guide shows how to unlock the bootloader and root using fastboot, but I don't see instructions for how to unroot and relock , restoring the factory image for 4.4.2 (which I have downloaded). It's not something I'm looking to do anytime soon, but I would like to know I can. I like the way people give instructions here, but if you know of a good guide you want to point me to, that would be great.
When I go to do various things in the future, I'll come back with more questions, I'm sure.
