Download the 4.4 to 4.4.2 update then I think you just flash it in recovery.

Doesn't work for me. Get an error while installing the Zip. But at the main time i use volume mode, dsp manager etc....and i saw that any modification would break the OTA so perhaps it's because of that it doesn't work

I managed to go from 4.4 to 4.4.2. I followed different stuff but overall what i did on my 4.4.2 custom kernel :
Copy http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-hammerhead-KOT49H-from-KRT16M.b3d1f307.zip to sdcard
Flash the KRT16M stock image. Follow @abaaaabbbb63 guide forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
If you want to keep data intact flash only the boot.img, system.img
Once the last file is flashed, just go from fastboot to recovery mode then install the .zip http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-hammerhead-KOT49H-from-KRT16M.b3d1f307.zip like you would install any zip from recovery (install zip from sdcard)
reboot
ps : I had lost root so if it's your case, just reflash recovery :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511952
I had kept the files untouched in my C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> so i just had to open cmd in that directoy (****+right click --> cmd)
Then :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now 4.4.2 with root and no loss of data

Hello everyone,
I wanted to update my nexus 5 from 4.4 to 4.4.2 but every time I try, even if I unrooted the phone and flashed the original kernel I get the same error while flashing the OTA with TWRP:
Verifying current system...
"system/bin/thermal-engine-hh" has unexpected (something out of the screen)
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ...
I'm not very good at this things, can someone help me?

You need to use fastboot and flash the system and boot image from 4.4

I have to flash the entire 4.4.2 500mb image found on google? Do I have to be unrooted and with original kernel? Thank you very much

You don't have to be unrooted. Download the factory image and extract the files from it. In there is another zip file which needs to be extracted. In there you'll find the system and boot images
Uninstall Xposed if you have it, also, you should try this: flash the 4.4 system.img extracted from the factory image then try flashing the OTA zip again.

I think the best bet for you is to read the thread about root / update in my signature. OTA is proving too troublesome. I can't hand hold you through the whole process.

I already told you.
Ok, I've read your thread about how to upgrade to Lollipop the Nexus.
The fact is that my main pc have no working USB ports, so if I want to unlock the bootloader and stuff like this I have to use my second pc, and it is very slow (the last time to just fastboot a factory image it tooks me one hour of suffering).
I think that the method 2b is the one that is closest to my situation:
1. Unlock bootloader if necessary (This wipes data)
2. Accept OTA update
3. Fastboot flash a custom recovery image (of your choice)
4. Fastboot flash a custom boot.img (@Chainfire for basic root, @sykopompos for full permissive mode)
5. Flash from recovery, SuperSU

Click to collapse
I don't want root, so:
2. Accept OTA update

If I have understood, the only thing that I have to do is use flashify to flash the OTA checker zip. file and than proceed with the OTA, right?
If there is another way to do this without use the PC, it will be great, but I don't know.
Is what I said right or I forgot something?
Thank you with your help anyway!

If yes, I can't flash with a custom recovery because I have the stock recovery (because I'm rooted with only Towelroot, so stock recovery and locked bootloader)

So I installed the lateat CM12 nightly, wasn't really impressed yet and went to go restore my backup and once it's done restoring, it get stuck at the bootscreen animation. Just keeps going and going abs going. I used the latest cwm touch recovery as CM12 is not compatible with MultiROM. I would just flash the factory img back but my computer decided to it doesn't ever want to recognize adb avid fastboot on Linux.
Anyone know where I can find a flashable zip for the factory 5.0.1 ROM? Any help would be appreciated!
Try googling Nexus 5 factory image...

You're on a custom Rom. The ota isn't going to work. And you don't need to relock your bootloader. If you can afford to wipe your data download the 5.0.1 factory image. Extract it and use the flash-all.bat

Well, unfortunately, there isn't a 5.0.1 flashable rom available right now. If you can't get fastboot to work on your Linux machine you're kind of sol as you need to be 100% stock to get the ota to work. That means stock recovery in your case. Google recovery zip collection xda. There's a custom recovery flashable stock recovery there.

Did some more digging, got it install, and flashed the factory img for 5.0.1 and twrp recovery then superSU through twrp.
Mods please lock the thread thanks.
Get wugfreshes Toolbox. It has access to all factory images. Some people are not fans of "one click solutions" but this has never let me down.
There's a flushable zip on here also. Put it in a search in the app and you should come across it. It IS the full version.
Did you ever find out why the CWM restore led to getting stuck on boot animation??
Just ran into this last night. Tried restoring 2 different CWM backups and both got stuck on boot animation.
I eventually got a new ROM flashed. Going to try TWRP recovery I suppose.
I know I never had this problem with 4.4, this was the first time I have restored a LP ROM..

My guess would be; cwm hasn't been optimized for Lollipop. Cyanogen has just recently started working on 5.0 and they probably haven't touched the recovery too much. But that's just my guess.

Hi, is this correct .... I am coming from 5.0.1 stock rooted with twrp and I want to update to stock rooted 5.1
Do I :
1) download the 5.1.zip
2) clear cache +dalvik (I want to keep my data) and flash
3) reboot....
Or do I have to flash the radio and boot loader as well (I'm not sure what they do?!!)
And how do I obtain root access??(flash the superuser zip?!!?)
PS. This is from vomers thread...I don't know if I need to flash the superuser and radio/boot loader:

Hi,
I would say that you are in the right way. And, as rohit25 said you need to install the bootloader and radio images. The bootloader is the software responsible for launch the kernel and bring up your phone. The radio images i think it controls basic low level functions like GPS, network connectivity and WI-FI. To your final question, yes, you will need to install super user again.

There's a whole thread on the ota process in the general forum. You should read it. The ota will not work with a custom recovery. You need the stock recovery which you can install using fastboot. There are other requirements too. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.
