[Q] Push stock recovery - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on TWRP but I'd like to just adb push stock recovery. Is this possible just like I did to push TWRP?

Yep. Unzip a stock ROM. Find the recovery.img and fastboot it.
Why though?

Just so I can update when the OTAs come out. I'd rather not have to wipe and factory reset just to get the small updates they sent.

You can flash recoveries all day and not have to wipe anything. Unless your bootloader is still locked. Have you spent some time reading up on the device at all?

What reading do you suggest, this is my first nexus. Just came from an S3. I'm one for just making a couple mods as I need. I rooted so I could install navbar.

I'm very satisfied with the nexus... No more constant modding or flashing this ROM and that to just avoid touchwiz and stay up-to-date.

I think I understand... would I just need to download the OTA manually and flash it like any other zip?

Don't wipe just apply it. The updates have been patched, not the whole rom. If you wipe you could be in trouble.

Disclaimer: These steps are assuming you are running Stock OS! No roms, no camera, sound, etc mods. If you're running a mod, then flash those back to stock to avoid issues.
Download the OTA, as well as the newest version of SuperSU (Version 1.8)
Transfer both files to the nexus via Android Transfer but dont put it in a folder, just so its at the bottom of the list
Boot to recovery
Flash OTA
Immediately Flash SuperSU after
Reebot
Done
I came from an S3 too, welcome to the Nexus fam

Would the xposed framework count as a mod? If you do have a mod then how do you go about updating on stock?

I can't confidently say this because I have never used Xposed. But other folks have mentioned disabling it or uninstalling it i think?
As far as mods, if you have the camera mod etc, then just flash the stock APK for that mod so that its back as it was in it's original system state

Anything that is different in /system or kernel may prevent ota. Xposed can be uninstalled via its gui

Need help finding stock recovery.img for 4.4.1

For the nexus 5 I want the stock recovery.img for 4.4.1
I know a lot of you push CWM & TWRP onto the device, but I don't want it for security, just makes it that much harder if someone steals it to flash over my install.
Edit: should say thanks! And I have tried to look unsuccessfully

There's no factory image yet. Not sure if the ota has full recovery, patch of recovery or no recovery... download it and have a look.
If it contains recovery.img - there you go
If it contains nothing - download krt16m
If it contains recovery.img.p - you'll need someone to rip it from their device

4.4 is the only one you'll find. The 4.4.1 patches 4.4. There is no recovery in it.

The reason I ask is because stock recovery 4.4 doesn't work in 4.4.1 bootloader/radio.

[Q] Root issues after 4.4.2 update

I manually sideloaded 4.4.2 onto my nexus 5 all was good and root appeared to be working as nova,lightflow,adblock all asked for permission upon reauthentication. However when i went into supersu it prompted for a updated. Which I continued as normal but it fails. Even after reboot.
I've even tried using cf-autoroot again to no luck.
Whats the best solution for me.
Nexus 5 - 4.4.2 KOT49H from 4.4 KRT16M
Root : Supersu by chainfire using cf-autoroot.
Nova launcher seems to be able to use root as does lightflow and root explorer.
Adblock asks but cannot change the files it needs.
Any extra information needed I will gladly produce

I thought not having a custom recovery was the way to ensure OTA updates?
But if I'm not going to be getting OTA then I'll go for it.

custom recoveries in themselves do not stop a OTA. what stops a OTA is the fact that people do system mods and that breaks the OTA.
as for which is best, that falls under best rom/kernel type stuff. pick one.

OTA only check the system partiiton, custom recovery won't spoil OTA.
and stock recovery = no recovery
I prefer TWRP.
If you currently have root access, download teh TWRP app from the Play Store and it'll install itself

You can't have ANY modification. Recovery, Kernel, Binaries(Xposed), factory apps all have to be in tact for the official OTA to work. You'll need to find to flashable version, or flash clean back to absolute stock.

So I flashed TWRP using the app.
and now supersu is up to date.
So in future all OTA updates won't work and i will just have to sideload them like i did with these 2 ?
If that's the case I'm fine with that.
For future OTA you can flash the OTA after the download is provided here, then flash SuperSU immediately after. Also just double check if SuperSU is updated so you have the most recent version.
Thats what I did for the 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 OTAs and I never lost root. All done via TWRP
Thanks all. I've sorted it out. Can close this topic now.

[Q] Is 4.4.4 worth updating to?

From what I understand it is just security fixes and no bug fixes? Is it worth flashing a new ROM for? I am on 4.4.3 right now and it is running pretty smooth.

If you're on the stock ROM I don't see why you're even hesitant to simply flash the new factory images.
If you're on a custom ROM it'll get updated in a day or so, if not, then already.
Everything will run smooth regardless unless you mess up something really badly..

I dirty flash my new builds over my old almost daily and nothing bad has come out of it. The only reasons you would really need to clean flash is to start fresh, test out a new ROM, jump a whole android version (4.4.3 to 4.4.4 is minor.. I mean like Jellybean to KitKat), or if something isn't working properly.

You'll just have to go into Xposed Installer and install the framework again, your stuff will stay.
Seeing as KangaKat is hardly a custom ROM and more of just a few minor mods on the stock ROM with Xposed thrown on top of it (lol).. I doubt you'll run into any issues.
As always, make a backup just in case.

Ask yourself: Is security something that matters for you? If not well its not worth.

[Q] Update Error again?! Really?!

Greetings!
So, the update 4.4.4. OTA was just avaible in my phone now and when it rebooted to install it, I received an error...AGAIN! I did some modifications to the system in the past, but then put the phone back to stock (using the tutorial here on xda) and flashed the 4.4.3. (from previsouly 4.4.2. - Nexus 5.
In this version (4.4.3.) the phone was completly stock except it had root (with cf-auto root) and with Xposed. I didn't do any modification to the system and when it was isntalling the new version, it did an error again, like I have done modifications to the system! I Already unchecked all the modules and unistalled the framework before updating to 4.4.4 OTA... Don't know why it isnt doing the workingOTA update..
Please help me! Thanks in advance!
how did you uninstall the framework?

Just download the full rooted stock ROM in android development and flash it without wipe from recovery.
It's actually fewer steps anyway.
OTA = revert system changes and/or kernel, reboot into recovery, flash the OTA , boot to bootloader, connect to pc, fastboot flash recovery, reboot into recovery, flash supersu.
Rooted stock = reboot into recovery, flash the ROM.
No brainer really. Flashing an OTA if rooted is a fool's errand.

But if i'm completly stock and already unistalled Xposed, why I can't update OTA? I know how to flash the update, but would like to know why... Because if I receive an update installing error, maybe the system is with some files missing and I probably have to put back to stock all over again and then update no? (That's what i'm afraid off, because if I only need to flash the update no problem, but put all over to stock...)

[Q] Restoring my recovery, but not wiping

Hi all,
I have searched the web, but haven't found an exact answer to my question.
I have a Nexus 5, currently on 4.4.2 (KOT49H). I am unlocked, rooted + Xposed and have TWRP. I want to update to 4.4.4 preferably OTA, officially. I would like to be able to use OTA updates from now on if possible.
Currently, if I disable Xposed, and use Suvival Mode in SuperSU and try to install the OTA update, TWRP intervenes and doesn't let me.
I would like to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I can update OTA in the future. I don't want to wipe the phone to achieve this if possible. If this isn't possible, could someone step through how to update to 4.4.4 with TWRP installed — I'm on a mac also.

Because it would seem easier for me—AFAIK. Although this didn't work, this workflow sounds appealing to me every time an update comes out:
- Disable Xposed
- Enable Survival Mode in SuperSU
- Install OTA update
- Re-enable Xposed, done.
No USB, no computer, no terminal.
Is there another way to achieve this?

Running a rooting rom without a custom recovery is dangerous IMHO.
Without having to lose custom recovery
1) Download latest rooted stock ROM
2) Flash
3) Enable Xposed

Yes, whenever there is a new stock ROM, someone makes a rooted stock flashable zip of it. Also if you make any small changes to system, sometimes like adblocking, OTA will fail but flashable zip of rom will just override all that bs.
latest 4.4.4 rooted stock rom is in a thread which you can find i the resources section of the sticky-roll-up thread. You can get there via my signature.
That way, you can take a nandroid backup so if anything goes wrong after the update, you can do a full restore, where as with OTA you will not be able to with stock recovery.

Yep it's all good. For some reason, I had this little fear of the fact it's an official stock rom, that's been "toyed" with. But of course that makes no sense really, considering I'm willing to install many third party apps and processes that could easily alter/mess my phone up.
Do the rooted stock roms get released fairly rapidly after the official one is released?

Yeah. as soon as the factory image is released. Maybe a day or two. Which is before 99% of people even receive the OTA notification
