Great video man! I remember wiping my device on accident when first starting out before I knew this helpful trick. God to know for anyone with a nexus.

[josevera]

bro this is legit thanks for the video! i was able to update mine to android 6.0.1 Thanks alot

[louisgreenleaf]

I download the file but I have no flash-all things in it just the software

[RenJohn]

How do I figure out what image to use?

[YoungstaD]

How come it says it don't reconigze command or whatever. PLeASE I REALLY WANT TO UPDATE IT!

[terencemcghee]

Typed in adb devices but it says command not found. What do I do to fix that?

[gautham]

I'm new to nexus device line...odin for Samsung is much more user friendly...this ADB for nexus is nightmare!

[leeDs]

@Cars & Tech by JDM City hey it's telling me to unlock bootloader every time I try and flash which I've already done. Am I missing something?

[RWCustoms]

@gautharn Suki .. I had started off with ODIN with the Galaxy S1. Been with nexus devices for 3 years now and I'll tell you that you will appreciate the ease of use and openness of using ADB/Fastboot .. it is a much better method. And Most other phones use this anyways, such as Moto, HTC, LG, Sony etc

[RWCustoms]

hey Leo, are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? if you sent the command "fastboot OEM unlock" and it prompts you with the "are you sure you want to" message then it has not been unlocked yet

[johnnysoup]

Hello,
Ran the program last night and everything seemed to work out fine during the process on my PC. However, I got a dead android and "no command" under the android guy..I went into recovery to reboot from there but it still gives me the same results. I wiped out the data and did a restore through recovery.. Still no dice.. Phone is unlocked.. Came running 5.0 build LNX07M.. I just got it and it wasn't updating.. turns out that that build is some early developers build.. Any ideas?

[RWCustoms]

hey Leo, chances are you never successfully unlocked the bootloader. once it is successfully unlocked you never have to go through the procedure again

[Indoor_Man]

FYI. Bootloader must already be unlocked to do any of this. So don't try this method if you want to save any data on a bootloader locked phone. Should have said that in the beginning of the video.
