I decrypted before activation so I have no comparison... Just back up your whole phone as you will need to data wipe...

Good point, I forgot to mention that .

Think I am going to go down this path, and flash the 5.0.1 factory image at the same time. Probably best to do the un-encrypt first, then push the new factory image out, just not the new boot image correct?

Then root and dance?

 

[pc747]

depending on how you are going to flash it. If you are just dirty flashing and flashing system.img then yes. But if you flashing the factory image then do that while you are flashing the factory image

type fastboot flash bootloader [name of your file].img
2) type fastboot flash radio [name of your file].img
3) type fastboot reboot-bootloader
4) type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5) type fastboot flash boot boot.img (flash the no encrypted boot image)
6) type fastboot flash system system.img
7) fastboot flash cache cache.img

For some reason it didn't take the first time, was still encrypted. Worked the second time though, on 5.0.1 and un-encrypted, apps are downloading now.

I was looking at your rooting thread, looks like I have two options.

Option 1. Use the CF Auto Root and flash that, but will wipe my phone again.
Option 2. Install TWRP and install the SU.zip through recovery.

I am not keen on doing either of these really, since my phone is almost done install apps I don't want to wipe. Also, I have no real need for a custom recovery as I won't do ROMs and don't particularly need backups. I just want TiBu for app back up really.

Suppose I could try one of the backup apps that don't require root, am I missing a third option?

Option 2 won't wipe your data.. Download Flashify and flash TWRP IMG.. Then flash SuperSu in recovery..

Manually flashed the TWRP recovery in bootloader, then flashed the SU zip. All good now. On 5.0.1, un-encrypted, and rooted. Having been encrypted and now un-encrypted, I would say it is probably better, but just barely.

Darn SMS still won't stop vibrating though no matter what I do.

hmmm. You still have your nexus 5 or another phone? If so you may want to try this as your last resort.

1) set up that other phone with all your apps, wallpapers, and accounts.
2) back up your app data via tibu and move that folder to you desktop computer (just in case)
3) wipe your data.

^ before doing that you could wipe the sms app data via app manger first to see if that fixes your problem. If not something is conflicting it seems.
