Since I'm new I cannot post links - stupid rule!! - can somebody help me out?
Hello,
I managed to solve this issue, based on this thread:
??
I did not have to follow exactly the instruction, but basically peformed the following:
- I downloaded, unzipped in one folder this rom "Flash 5.0 N5-12-09-2014.zip" from here: ??
- I immediately installed the UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi in this folder
- I downloaded, unizpped in same folder this zip "Recflashr.zip" from here: ??
- I hooked the N5 to the windows PC with USB cable, put it in bootloader mode
- I launched the script file From Bootloader.bat, followed the instructions on the PC screen
Done!
The N5 needed 3 more upgrades (amongst the to hated update that blocked the device), but never got stuck again.
You probably could try to flash to the newer rom Flash 5.0.1 N5-12-17-2014.zip, but I did not try.
To be complete, I have to say, that before this I installed the Android Studio Package, and the USB device driver, but probably this dit not interfere with the above.
The N5 is 2 days up and running, so it works.
Good luck to all.
