Cannot update to 4.4.2 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I got my OTA update yesterday, but it failed with the helpful message 'error'. After a reboot the system, still on 4.4, update now says 'up to date' and I cannot trigger the OTA update again.
I tried installing the update manually in TWRP, but that tells me there's an MD5 issue (no MD5) and then error executing updater binary in zip, then error flashing zip then failed. I've redownloaded the zip from phandroid and droid-life.
Anyone else having problems?
M.

See my thread in general discussion, it's very easy if you have twrp installed

[Q] Update issues

The Jellybean update has finally arrived for the NS4G. However a couple ppl myself included have been receiving an error. With the OTA and the flashable .zip i get a status 7 error. Anyone have any clues as to why? Most people are coming from stock and still getting this error with stock recovery or CWM.
From the other thread, download the binaries and use the fastboot method detailed in this post:

[Q]Can't flash any kernel...

Yes, I am unlocked and rooted. Running carbon 4/1 nightly atm and using KTK but whenever I try to flash a new kernel I get an error. In TWRP it says "Error flashing update binary" and in CWM I get Status Error 7. Both are latest versions and the kernels are for my version of Android as well and the downloads did download successfully. Just got no clue what is happening.
U can use SU to update ur binary. I also recommend to have the latest twrp (2.6.3.1. I read that 7.0 ppl having trouble with backups) or cwm recovery

Updated my SU binary and still getting the same error. "Error executing updater binary"
I guess I can try CWM

Do a clean install. Factory reset format. Then flash rom and different kernel

Status 7 error indicates you need to update your recovery

Sounds like the OTA zip might be corrupt. Have you tried redownloading it? Also, you're using stock recovery, correct?

Its because your phone is rooted and custom recovery is installed, it doesn't play well with official lollipop update. Unroot device and revert to stock recovery then try to install the lollipop update again.

I don't understand that

Download the stock ROM for your phone. Extract the recovery.img file.
If you are using a Windows machine, boot the phone into fastboot mode, install fastboot drivers, connect phone, open a command prompt, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", press the enter key, disconnect phone, boot into recovery using the phone's volume buttons.
From where?
And how do I get the recovery in file

Search for your ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
See my post above for the fastboot command to flash recovery.
I don't have a modified rom
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Free mobile app
I thought you had a modified ROM because the title of your post is "E:signature verification failed installation aborted cwm moto g 2013".
CWM is a custom recovery and wouldn't be part of a stock ROM.
I installed it manually using rom Manager

You're back to stock recovery and it still doesn't work?

Are you using a custom recovery to install the OTA update? You need to be on a completely stock ROM to install the OTA update.
how do I do that
